CURIOUS FACTS.

A scheme is under consideration in
Mexico for tunnelling the volcano of Pop
pecatapetl through tie wall of the crater,
In order to reach the immense sulphur
deposits inside the mountain. A narrow
gauge railroad will connect the tunnel
with the town of Amecameca, which, in
turn, will connect with the Morelos road
leading to the national capital.
An Austrian has patented process for
getting thread that can be spun and
bleached frem wood, which is cut in long
lengths and boiled till 1t will cleave apart
in fibreus punches by shaking in water
tits then shredded by hand or by machin-
cry, and spun like hemp. This gives q
very fine thread, and less boiling gives .

The Medical Record, discussing the sub
ject of "Science and Drink" says that
Harley has found that, even In the small
proportion of FIVE per cent,
a powerful chemical effect on blood, so
powerful as to entirely derange one of it's
most important functions--namely, the
function of respiration. The alcohol seems
to act like an asphyxiant, inasmuch as 1t
not alone diminishes the power Of the red
corpuscles to absorb oxygen, but to exhalc
carbonic acid, and that too, in the same
way 0hough to a somewhat less extent)
as inorphia does" 1t is held that 1t is be-
cause of this chemical effect that the blood
of the drinker is imperfectly oxidized, un-
fitted for the purposes of nutrition, and
predisposed to the gravest forms of disease.

The experience st Minneapolis, Mlnn.,
where the license fee Is SIooo without any
discrimination between distilled and fer
mentsd liquors, does not appear to justify
the restrictive claims Of the high license
advocates. We clip the following from
The National AdsOcsfs, which shows the
matter In It's true light:
Much has been said Of the diminished
number Of licensed saloons under the pres.
ent law as evidence OF its practical value
to the cause Of temperance, but Il would
appear from the court records that unii'
censed liquor selllAg Is carried on with
comparative impunity, aad that the high
license saloons are allowed to violate the
law. and even to sell liquor on Sundays'at
very small risk of punishment BY the au-
thorilies. a late Minneapolis telsgram
states that Of "forty. four cases indicted 81,
months age by the grand jury for viola
ton OF ths liquor law In keeping oPer
Sundays. twenty -nins were dismissed b,
the county attorney for various reasons
ak cases were continued, one pleaded gall
~, jury found seven not guilty and thre'
were fsuad guilty. These latter were
sentenced TO pay fine Of $50 and serve
fifteen days In jail" The telegram add
that OF "fifty.seven 'blind-pIg' cases on th'
calendar at the beginning Of the last term
fourteen have been continued. Their,
were but three convictions for selling II
qHor without license last term. The
records show that Of the s5i eases, repre-
sentlng i6s offenders, only thirteen have
been committed to jail. Llcense.Inspee
tor Ray claims that the municipal author
tiles are the ones TO prosecute these liquei
cases. and does not believe II can be sue
cessfully done under the present system
II Is quite apparent, In the light of this
significant testimony from court records
Of Minneapolis, that the high license re.
strlcti0n fails TO restrict. IL II were Port.
land or Bangor instead, what howl there
would be, indeed. concerning the failure

Hon. James Black, Of Penn, in recent
letter to the editor Of The AdpOoafe con-
corning the repeal Of the internal revenue
tax on distilled and fermented liquors,
writes
IL favor the repeal of the internal reve-
