Another. Use Discovered for Cold.

Reduction of temperature in air or
liquids by means of refrigerating ma
chimes are used on ships, and refrigerat-
ing plants are to be found in packing
houses, cold storage warehouses, etc.
Among the more recent applications OF
freezing temperature is the freezing of
sand and mud in tunneling operations.
The idea, in one sense, is not wholly
new, because in sinking shafts through
quicksandS, freezing mixtures in pipes
have been used to freeze the sand solid,
and thus enable the workman to dig
through the sand and brick the tunnel
up before the sand melted. .. -
In a tunnel constructing under a hill
near Stockholm it was found that the in
terror of the hill consisted of wet sand,
and the moment this was cut into it be-
gun to flow like thick liquid, and there
was danger that there would be "caTe"
on the surface above. Several houses
threatened to collapse and sink in the
cave, and the work had to stop. Then
the idea of freezing the sand was an en-
tire success. BY means of chilled all
from refrigerating machine the loose
wet sand was frozen solid, and then it
was easy to cut out the hard sand and
build an arched tunnel through it. The
tunnel then held the sand in place and it
was allowed to melt, as the tunnel arch
would support it as well as the houses
above.-Demorest's Monthly.

superior Intelligence Of the Pike.

There can be little doubt that the pike
is decidedly an exception to the rule that
fish have little or no intelligence. Even
the size of his brain is worthy of respect.
It's proportionate size, as compared to
the rest of the body, is as to 1900; in
the shark, whose intelligence has so
often been vaunted, it is only as to
$500; while in the funny it is but as 1 to
s,7OO. The only thing that dulls the
pixies intelligence is his greed; but even
this may perhaps only be caused by an
Overwhelming confidence in his own
gastric juices. Like many other vora-
cious animals, to swallow seems to be his
only joy; palate he has little or none.-

Kerosene Mine in New South Wales.


NeM South Wales possesses. in the
Vale Of Hartlsy mine avaluabie kerosene
deposit. The mine is situated IN one of
themost picturesque parts Of the colony
about eiehty-three miles northwest Of
SYDNEY, in the center of the Blue noun
tains, at an altitude Of S,11S feet above
the level of the sea. The railway up the
mountains has aided greatly in the es-
tsblishment of a number Of important
industries there. The iron works at
Eskbank are carried on successfully, and
the cosl deposits are inexhaustible. The
kerosene shale found there is said to be
the richest in the world. Considerable
quantities of it are used in the large
cities Of the colonies Tor the. purpose Of
enrich ing gas. It.: Is also exported for
the same purpose to Holland, Java, and
the states on the Pacific slope Of the
United States. ..- -!
Only the better quality Of the mineral is
exported, the scraps and inferior por-
tions being retained tor the extraction Of
oil. The seams are from one foot to two
and-a-half feet in thickness. It is much
more difficult to mine than coal, and is
usually got out with iron picks and
pointed rods. It does not run down
readily into blocks, but has to be sepa-
rated piece by piece and splintered Of
into sharp thih pieces. It is easily
lighted with match, and burns with a
steady flame like candle and eInits q
strong odor Of kerosene. The company
working the mine, beside their opera
tions at the mine, have extensive oil
works at Waterloo, where they manu-
facture kerosene lubricants, parafine,
etc.-Iron. --.-.

Burnt Cofree as an Antiseptio.

Dr.. Oppler of strasburg has discovered
in. burnt coffee new antiseptic dressing
for wounds. The action appears to be
two-fold; first, that produced by burnt
coffee as form of charcoal, and, sec'
ondly, that which is due to the pungent
aromatic odors which are fatal to the
lower organisms. AS coffee Is always on
hand in military expeditions, it will be
especially serviceable as dressing dur.

into the church with her arms folded and
q pistol in one hand, cooked. She passed
Into the seat In rear of Steedly, and when
lust behind him shot him. He arose,
looked around, tried to get out his pistol,
and at the same time made for the door.
Miss Connolly snapped her pistol at him
again, butt failed to go off. If it had
gone OFF the chances are that some one
else would have been hurt, as the churcl
!was crowded.
S Stesdly fell at the door Of the church
just outside and died in about three min.
utea. There was great excitement among
the ladies and children at the time.
3Steedly had been putting out damaging
xeports about Miss Connolly, for which
aGer brothers and Mr.. OFT had horse
whipped him some time ago, an account
:of which appeared in your paper. Some
ten days since Steedly published letter
in your paper giving his version of the
whipping and reiterating the reports.
This letter seems to have been the imme.
diate cause of the shooting.

sof the public seems to favor Miss Connel-
