oarbonle Acid Ga. for Raising ys.,.,,.

In the account of a German establish
ment devoted to the manufacture of car
bonic acid on a large scale for industrial
purposes, recently contributed to The
Wochenschrift des osterr Ingenieur-und
Architekten- Vereines. reference is made
to an experiment carried out a short
time ago at the government dock yards
at Kiel. with carbonic acid gas as a
means OF raising sunken vessels. In
the trial a number Of balloons made
Of canvas were attached by divers to the
submerged object to be lifted, the bal
looms being readily taken below In q COL
lapsed state. Each balloon contained
one OIL more TASKS of liquid carbonic
acid, which, at the proper time, was per-
mitted to escape by the divers, and, in
Eating the balloons, gave them sufficient
buoyancy to raise the object. Compared
with the method Of pumping atmospheric
air into h balloons. the carbonio acid
process would seem to offer the advan-
tages OF cheapness and simplicity, the
pumping outfit being dispensed with.
Besides this. the lifting is accomplished
in a relatively short space of time-an

Some queer things happen In n news
paper Office occasionally. The other
evening n sP .cial came flashing over one
of The Republics leased wires from New
York, giving an account Of an event that
| had occurred at Concord.
ASK New York II that is Concord,
Mass, or Concord. N. h" said the night
editor to the operator.
A few seconds later the telegraph ma
nipulator r%eappeared with the announce
ment;
New York says there Is no such place
as Concord. Mass"
WHAT gasped the editor. as his eyes
rolled In a fine frenzy. What? Just
ask that operator again"
The operator complied. The answer
came ticking back: There's no such
place as Concord, Mass"
The night editor arose In solemn dig
nifty. Just ask him." he repeated, "if
he heard of the town that fred the shot
hat was heard around the world. Ask
him." he ven on wildly, "if he ever
heard OF Paul Revere" Again the OPP
orator complied and brought back word
that no one In the office had ever heard
Of the place. The night editor controlled
himself enough to send his condolences,
and remarked that 1t would be well to
keep from the ears of the office cat the
knowledge hat no one in that particular
newspaper office knew Of Concord, the
home Of Emerson and Thoreau and Al
colt
Just then the operator shouted: They
have ound 1t. You mean the place where
they hold the School of Philosophy.
Well. stuff for that place has been going
to Boston for fifteen years, and this is

Snakes, lizards, grasshoppers, tree
grubs, the larv@ of beetles, brush tur-
keys eggs, wild honey-in fact, the
scrub is full of food when you know how
to get it. The best part Of a snake is the
liver. which is over a foot long In the
big snakes. By the way, the natives
never eat food that Is not cooked. A
snakes liver is decidedly good, and has a
gamey flavor. Lizards flesh Is like
chicken. The beetle larvm are popped
into the fire and eaten with wild honey;
they taste like an omelette. Grasshop-
pers grilled are also capital eating, with
a nice, nutty favor.-Greenland Explor-

conosrnlnx Pork Chops.

Mr.. Gladstone writes thus on the sub
ject Of pork chops in Nineteenth Cen
fury; Although the question respecting
the keeping of swine and the use of pork
is by no mean disposed of, either by the
authorities quoted in the text or by Will
kinson, l venture at this stage to offer
the following conjectures as somewhat
probable In themselves and not ~inconsis-
tent with the evidence as a whole: l.
That in the warm climates of Egypt and
Phenicia the use Of pork was, on sani-
tary grounds, repressed by prohibitions
or restricted to particular occasions q.
That the great thrift resulting from the
rearing and consumption Of the animal
may have kept the practice extensively
alive. notwithstanding restrictive laws.
especially among the classes to whom
thrift vas an important object 9. That
as the pig is useless to man during life,
ii is very difficult TO account for its being
bred and kept, as it evidently was, eI-
cept upon the supposition that it was
wanted for food. 4. That II the animal
as domesticated was brought into Greece
by Phpnician ships, its consumption for
food may have spread there, In a cooler
climate and a society free from sumptu-
airy restraints, and yet in Homers day
may not have wholly ceased to be a dis
tinct mark of southeastern origin and
associations. g.. That the %sialos, the
carefully and delicately fatted pig, was
served as a luxury at the tables of the
rich, while the use IT common pork was
reserved, as in the cottage OF Eumaios,
for the poorer class. Such is the evil
dence of the Odyssey"

John Howard Payne enjoys the dis
tinction of being the first American
Hamlet who was born in America, and
he had been born but seventeen years
when he played "Hamlet" at the Park
theatre in May, 1909. He was the first
of the long line of infant phenomena in
this country, and the original boy
Hamlet" Fired by the marvellous
and ridiculous-success of Master Betty
in England, he went upon the stage with
little professional training, and with
barely sufficient intelligence to play tho
parts Of R~osencrantz or Guildenstern,
but he drew enormous crowds, and put
money in his purse. Two years later,
on the 9th of April, 1911, he introduced
the tragedy Of Hamlet" to Albany au-
diences; but he is remembered by pos
terity as a playwright rather than as a
player, and as the author of one immor-
tai song. His Hamlet naturally was az
immature and as amateur as 1t was pre-
mature.-Lawrence Hutton in Harper's
Magazine.
