New York Tribune There is .
well-known popular belief which
still largely survives, in spite Of
the efforts Of naturalists to assure
the public Of its fallacy. that the
gordius, or "horse-hair snake" is
actually live horse hair. There
arc still many people who firmly
believe that II the hair from .
horses name or tail il LEFT for some
weeks in running water the indi-
vidual hairs will assume vitality
and become "horse hair snakes /.
Many . country lad has tried this
experiment, though. of course,
with unsatisfhctory result. AT .
recent meeting Of the Maryland
Academy Of Science Prof. Uhler,
the President, read an interesting
paper cumming up our knowledge
Of this strange worm. DR.. Letdy
has determined the fact that in its
adult state, the 4" "horse-hair snake

Most, II not oil our midtlle-aged

pearance Of the first paper collars.
The innovation was looked upon

dustry. Millions OF dollars are
invested In It to-day, and paper
collars are . staple article Of 'ncr-
chandixc. Of late we llave been
favored with paper houses, paper
furniture, paper boats, paper car
wheels. paper under garlnents, fire

tion Is called to = tall factory Chin

latter novel feat In the application
Of paper has boon achieved by
Germans At Breslan, The paper

vators is ffty feet high, and by )

Iuasmuch ~ fre.proof paper was
successfully tested In Italy last
winter, the hame-repe.liug quail
ties Of the Dreslau paper chimney
are not surprising. The Italians
made fre-proof paper cases and
