The Planet Mars.

If an inhabitant of Mars, after ad-
miring the starry beauty of the earth
seen from distance of many millions
of miles, could approach near enough
to get bird's-eye view of what is now
going on upon its surface, he would be
astonished at the scenes of devastation
and ruin which had been concealed in
the serene rays of his evening star.
All quarters of our planet appear to be
suffering from extraordinary displays
of the destructive forces of nature

the Rhine, the Danube, and the Ohio
have been desolated by great floods, a

Lake Titicaca, on the borders of Peru
and Bolivia, famous for its great eleva-
tion above the sea and its islands, con-
tanning some of the most remark kable

This has caused CONSERVATION among
the Indians in the neighborhood, who
are reminded of curious tradition con-

nect;ug the lake with the sea, which
has come down from the days of the

The disturbance of the earth's crust,
which was manifested by sharp earth
quake shocks in Europe, in New En-
gland, and in some of the Western
States few weeks ago, is yet felt in
various parts of the world. News has
lately reached US of great destruction
of property, and the loss of many lives.
by earthquakes in the island of
Formosa, and of volcanic eruption on
the shore of Lake Hakono, fifty miles
from Yokohama, during which neigh
boring villages were damaged by lava
and falling rocks. The mountain from
which the lava burst forth had not
been known as a volcano, and this fact
is all the more interesting because no
volcanic eruption has occurred in that
neighhorhood since the eruption OF the
celebrated Fuslyama in 1707.

To Keep Eggs.

Eggs may be kept for an indefinite
time if packed when quite fresh in
boxes with rock alum in shape like
rock salt. Put in a thick layer of
alum, then the eggs, small end down,
and keep in cool dry place.
2 Slack fresh lime with boiling
water; when cold, thin with cold water
to thickness of cream. Pack the eggs,
small end down, in barrel or in stone
jars, then pour on the cold whitewash
covering the eggs. Care must be used
in taking them out, as they are easily
broken. This has been used with sue
cess for forty years.
8. Three gallons water, one pint of
fresh Stacked lime, one half pint salt.
Use perfectly fresh eggs with sound
shells. If more lime is put in it eats
the shell; if more salt it hardens the
yolk. Put them in carefully; they
will keep perfectly good for year or
more.
4. Hold perfectly fresh eggs in boil
ing water while counting six. A wire
basket can be used for this purpose.
Be sure to have water enough to en-
tirely cover the eggs. Let them dry
and cool, then pack in oats. Put
layer of oats on the bottom of the keg
or barrel sufficient to support the eggs.
Pack them closely, small end down,
and proceed till the barrel is filed.
Shake it gently to settle oats and eggs
firmly. This method has given eggs
year after packing, in as good state of
preservation as when first packed.

Daniel Webster.

Mr.. j. Emery writes: There is one
incident in Daniel Webster's life that /
have never seen published or heard
mentioned since it happened. In 1919,
l think it was that year, the United
States Supreme Court gave its decision
in the famous Dartmouth College case.
At the commencement in 1920, Mr..
Webster was present and addressed the
students. At meeting of the trustees
and faculty a draft of five hundred
dollars was drawn in favor of Mr..
Webster. Our president, DR.. Francis
Brown, was very much out of health,
and Mr.. Webster urged him
strongly to go south. DR.. Brown re-
piled that perhaps it would be better
to do so, but that he was poor and un-
able to bear the expense. Mr.. Web
ster, without saying word in reply,
stepped to q desk in the room, took
from his pocket the draft of FIVE hum
dred dollars that had been given, in.
dorsed it over to Mr.. Brown, saying,
chat will help you, SIR" On Mr..
Brow attempting to reply, mot q
word, my dear sir, not word, but 60
south and thank God for the means, :"
said the certainly then "God-like
Daniel" Mr.. Brown did 60 south,
but died the same year, in the autumn
of 1920. This one act will balance all
that the Ghouls are trying to dig up of
faults in his character.
The Price of a Burglars Kit.
Bank burglars tools are generally
of a superior order, gathered with care
and piece-meal until their kit is made
up. A full kit of the best order is
worth $4,000. This may all go in the
event of failure of a job by disturb
ance, and generally does go when
successful piece of work is accomplish
ed, as the booty is heavy enough in
itself, so that the tools are left behind.
Mechanics of a superior class exist in
large cities who make q speciality of
fashioning burglars tools. In the alb
sence Of such q mechanic, the tools are
collected in parts, but as this is q
risky way of obtaining them, it is
avoided, if possible. Kits of the toby
mans tools are kept on hand for hire,
and good collection can be obtained
in the centres of the business for from
$1OO to 5000. These tool-renters are
generally tool.makers, also, but often
the tence has them on hand, and it is
part of the business of old cracks-men
to keep them. Fifty per cent. of the
noted burglars are practical smiths,
and thoroughly understand the temper
any capacity oftheir tools. Sometimes
a gang. each owning implements Of
various kinds, pool their possessions
and thus make up full "kit." The
tool-makers have their specialities.
Some are famous for chisels, others for
punches and jimmies, and one maker
made a national reputation for sledge
of lead and copper that entirely super
seded that formerly used of steel, be-
cause of the dull, almost noisless, blow
it strikes.

A Brilliant Meteor.


PETERSBURG, Va, March 5.-The
most remarkable phenomenon ever
witnessed in this vicinity occurred
early yesterday morning. An i'm
mense ball of Are darted across the
heavens brilliantly Illuminating the
city The witnesses of the phenome-
non were considerably frightened. Its
course was northwest. An explosion
was heard shortly after its flight At
Fredericksburg the explosion was fol-
lowed by the loud detonation and tre-
mors of the dearth. The light was
very brilliant and of Q blue tint. All
along the route traversed persons
were awakened by the noise and

Improvement In ChimneyS.

The best chimneys are made by in
closing hard baked pipe in thin wall
of bricks. Such chimneys not only
draw better than those made in the
usual way, but there is less danger
from defective flues." A four inch
wall of brick between US and destruc.
tion by fire is frail barrier, especially
if the work is carelessly done or the
mortar has crumbled from the joints.
To build chimneys with double or
eight inch walls makes them very
large, more expensive, and still not so
good as when they contain the smooth
round fues. To leave an air cham
ber between them for ventilating, is
better than to open directly into the
smoke fue, because it will not impair
the draught for the fire, and there will be
no danger of sooty odor in the room
when the circulation happens to be
downward, as it will be occasionally.
The outside chimney, if there is one,
should have an extra air chamber be-
tween the very outer wall and the back
of the fireplace to save heat, precau-
tion that removes to great extent the
common objection to such chimneys.
A very large per cent. of fires come
defective chimneys.-Scientifc Amer

THE DANGERS OF REVACCINA.
TON.

It has often been charged, in argn-
ment against vaccination and revac-
cination, that ce, tain loathsome dis
eases, said to be eight in number, can
be communicated thereby. Not long
ago a member of the British Parlia
ment, the Hon. Peter A. Taylor, Ii
beral, who sits for Leicester, moved
that it is incxpedient and unjust to
enforce vaccination under penalties
upon those who regard it as inadvis
able and dangerous. The motion led
10 long debate, in which Taylor
was supported by the Hon. Charles
H. Hopwood, Liberal, who sits for
Stockport. The Right Hon. DR..
Lyon Play fair, Deputy Spesker Of
the Commons, who sits for Eain
burgh and ST. Andrews Universities,
in replying to these gentlemen, said
that during the previous week po
liceman of the House of Common
consulted him regarding serious
eruption all over his body, which he
alleged had been produced by revac
cination. He said lie hal had the
eruption about month. DR.. Play
fair who is not physician but Il
doctor Of laws, asked the policeman
when he was revaccina,ed. The of
fcer replied that it was seven years
ago. 1t may happen that many I'm.
just accusations have been laid
against vaccination. Dr.. Play fair
gave an abundance Of testimony in
favor of vaccination. For instance,
in London the mortality among the
vaccinated in the epidemic of 1871
was 80 per 100000, while it wa
$3.50 per 100000 among the unyac.

vacciua.ed, but of the latter there
died more than q hundred times as
many az died of the vaccinated -
Vaccination vas introduced into the
kingdom about the beginnin. of this
century, and in forty years the death
rate in England from small pox had
fallen from 5000 per million to 500
per million. In Is45 the IGovern
ment began to gratnitous VAGINA
&ion, and reduced the mortality BY
1854 to 305 per million. Vaccina.
ton was made compulsory, and in
1871 the mortality was only 223 per
million. In 1871 70 compulsory vac
clnstion kept the deaths down to l56
per million. In Scotland, in 1882,
the rate was only six per million.
DR.. PIayfair boldly said that the dis
sass was stamped out 10 Scotland.
The result of DR.. Playf speech
was that only sixteen members voted
against bis amendment of Mr.. Tay
lor's resolution. Efficient regula-
tiona for compulsory vaccination will
probably stamp out smallpox in any
country or city. There were twenty.
one deaths from smallpox in this
city last week, and if We permit the
favorable summer weather to elapse
without checking the dreadful dis
ease, we must not complain next win
