AT Mesched, a town of 10000 inhabitants,
10000 have persisted, 20. 900 have fed fol
their lives. and the feeble remainder have

'essly left them to the wrctchedness and
death which hts own incapscity has brought
upon them. While his people have been
dying by thousands under pestilence and
famine, his Royal Majesty has been taking
his usual hunting expeditions, and lived NJ
richly and recklessly " ever. A mob Ut
several thousand starving men and women
who assembled before his palace gates, con.
Quoting Themselves in . very riotous mar.

approached the river. hut the blast drove

darkness preceded the light On Sunday
night. Oct'r 0, just after the churches were

stiffness of death. The smoke settled down
SO thickly that the darkness. like Egyptian.

smoke and darkness faint glimmers of light
The earth trembled. and the roar Of the ap.
falling trees br0ke the awful stiffness No

when almost in moment the holocaust was

down that they could be more rapidly con-

again to rush like spectres through the
flames, and fell separated from each other.
In this terrible moment men thought the
final day had come when the earth should
be burnt, and bowed themselves 10 offer

Hon. Hot LI0,, Nltsv be Handled

Mons ]. Fontelle, President de In Societe
des Sciences Physiques ct Chemiques de
Paris. &C., has left the following on record:
about the year 1909 one Lionetto. Srsn.
lard astonished not only the ignorant, but
chemists and other men of science, in
France, Germany. Italy and England, by
the impunity with which he handled red
hot iron and molten lead, drank boiling oil
and performed other fests equally mirncu.
lous. While he was at Naples he attracted
the notice Of Professor Sementem, who
narrowly watched oil his operations and en-
deavored to discover his secret. He Oh
served, in the first place, that when Lilo.
netto applied piece Of rcd hot iron to Lis
hair dense fumes Immediately rose from It,
and the same occurred when he touched
his foot with the iron. He also saw him
place = rod Of iron, nearly red hot. between
his teeth without burning himself, drink
the third of q tablespoonful Of boiling
oil, and taking up molten lead with his fin>
gers place it on his tongue without appa.
rent inconvenience. Sementem's effnrts,
after performing several experiments upon
himself, were finally crowned with success.
He found that by friction with suIphuric
acid. diluted with water, the skin might be
made insensible to the action of the heat of
red hot iron; q solution of alum, cvapors.
ted until it became spongy, appeared to be
more effectusl in these frictions. After
having rubbed the parts which were thus
rendered, in some degree, incombustiblc,
with hard soap, he discovered on the appli.
cation Of hot iron that their insensibility
was increased. He then determined on
again rubbing the rarts with soap, and
after this found that tho hot iron not only
occasioned no pain, but that 1t did not burn
the hair. Being thus fer satisfied, the Pro.
lessor applied hard soap to his tongue until
It became insensible TO the heat Of the iron !;
and after having placed IN ointment com
posed of soap mixed with . solution of
alum upon It, boiling oil did not burn Il;
while the oil remained on the tongue .
slight Kissing was heard, similar 70 that of
hot iron when thrust into water; the oil
soon cooled, and might then be swallowed
without danger. Several scientific men
have since successfully repeated the expert.
ments Of Professor 6ementen. .-r

Last evening this CommAndery was hon
ored with visit from the members of St.
Simon of Cyrene Commandery No. 9 of
Davenport to the number of about twenty or
thirty five, all beautifully uniformed and car.
rying tasteful banner of the Order. Their
appearance upon our streets excited marked
attention, while their various evolutions
and movements exhibited military precis-
ion and excellent drill.
After the uaual business of the evening
was transacted, all the Sir Knights present
repaired to the Banquet Hall of Everfs
Commandery, where q banquet suitable for
the occasion had been duly prepared
and was waiting their entrance. After the
banquet, toAsts and speeches were in order,
and nearly all present, whether accustomed
to public speaking or not, were called ont
and responded. The remarks Of EN-. Com,
L. Stuckruth, and of Sir Knights Lane,
Anderson and Rhea, we're exceedingly Ap
propriate and prod uced unusually favorable
impressions.
The visit will long be held in pleasant re.
membrance, and the Commandery of this
city may well feel honored, when 80 large
number among the prominent citizens of
our sister city thus happily contribute to the
interchange OF knightly oonrsesies and hos
pitality.
