Salt Making Among the Chinsss.

A wonderful example Of patience IN
the Chinese Is afforded by a consular re-
port dealing with the manufacture Of
salt in central China Holes about SIX
inches in diameter are bored in the rock
by means Of primitive form Of iron
drill, and sometimes a period Of forty
years elapses before the coveted brine is
reached, 80 that the work Is carried on
from one generation 70 another. Daring

founders are introducing a new ana SIM
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets Of wrought
iron in the center Of the mold previous
to the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in the
casting of thin plates for the ovens Of
cooking stoves, it being found that a
sheet Of thin iron in the center of quar-
ter inch oven plate rendered it practi-
cally unbreakable by fire.
This result has led TO the process be-
ing now applied to the casting Of large
iron pipes, a core Of sheet iron irnparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability TO any fracture. AS an evil
dence OF the additional strength capable
Of being impaired by this means, it is
stated that a plate of iron one-fourth of
an inch thick, cast with perforated
sheet Of 27wire gauge wrought iron in
the center, possessed six times the
strength of q similar cast plate with no
core. The quarter inch plate had the
strength of plate one inch thick.-New

STAYING THE HAND Of DEATH.
There Is Said to Be r. Certain and Rapid
Means of Reconciliation.

means OF heSnscltRtion.
Colonel Henry Elsdale, of the Royal
engineers, claims to have discovered a
certain and rapid means of resuscitating
persons from the effects OF suffocation.
A sapper among the men under his com
mand at Chatham was one day found
enveloped in the folds of half empty
war balloon. The coal gas with which
it had been inflated had suffocated him.
and to all appearances he was a dead
man. But efforts were made to restore
him, though the pulseless heart and ca
daverous face of the man gave no en-
enlargement to persevere. In a mo-
ment of something like inspiration il
occurred TO Colonel Elsdale TO send fol
some tubes of compressed oxygen, which
had been prepared for the oxyhydrogen
light.
This pure oxygen, at a very high pres
sure, was hurriedly conveyed into the
mouth Of the PROSTATE sapper by meanl
of inserting the nozzle of the valve be
tween his teeth, and the supply was
gently turned on" TO the smallest ex.
tent. The effect was absolutely instan.
taneous In an instant he opened his
eyes and seized the nozzle between his
teeth In short, the sa7per was not only
thoroughly revived within a few min
utes, but in half an hour walked away,
quite well, to the barracks, and refused
to go TO the military hospital. as was
suggested by his commanding officer.
Of course the objection Will be raised
that everybody has not tubes of pure
oxygen at high pressure in readiness to
apply to such cases. Happily oxygen ~
quantities as large as those administered
is not needed, and it can be stored IN
small, strong bottles made OF the finest
steel, with a valve giving an absolute
hermetic seal"
These vessels may be as small as a
soda water bottle, and may be made part
Of the medical stock of every doctor.
Oxygen at any degree Of compression
required can. in fact, now be obtained,
and the whole apparatus for restoring
vitality can be packed in small box
quite portable.
What possibilities may not such dis
covery as that TO which we have drawn
attention involvel Ii is equally availa-
bic, we are assured, for those persons
who have been asphyxisted by choke

How 1t Feels to Have a Bug in Ones Ear,

How 1t Feels to Have a Bug in Ones Ear.
"a bug in his ear" is a figure very ex-
tensively used in common conversation.
But, reader, did you ever have bug in
your ear in fact? If not, you have no
idea how it feels B. F. Tomlinson, who
experienced the sensation, says he never
suffered such torture in his life. The
bug crawled into his ear while he was
lying in bed asleep, between II and IL
o'clock one night Il was only a com
mon candlebng or fly, but the degree Of
torture one of them can infict while in
the ear is beyond the scope Of the imagi-
nation. Mr.. Tonlinson said that when
he awoke he dreamed that railway
train had jumped the track, struck him
in the ear and was blowing its way
through ms head. The train kept going,
but it seemed that it would never get
through.
Occasionally it would stop and then
start again with renewed force. Then
again the train seemed 10 be at a stand
still, but the wheels would be turning
with lightning rapidity. The train
would move of gradually with grating
noise, and would not stop till the whistle
blew for the next station or IL ran of the
track or colided with another train,
which frequently occurred Mr.. Tom
Enson stood the torture till daylight,
when he sent for doctor. who succeeded
in fishing out the bug, which in the
meantime had died Mr.. Tonl1nSon
said that if the bug had remained in his
ear sn hour longer he would have been
a raving maniac.-Mexico (do.) InteIli-

Papa" asked the boy, looking up
from his book, "can a man grow a real

81 should say not" answered the
father cautiously, being mindful of the
fact that within week the boy had put
to him this question-"Why does q
woman walk On her heels in crossing
muddy street" and when he answered
that he did net know, the boy had said.
ITO get across" But there was no sell
about the question the boy asked, nor
about the next one, which was this:
"Can a man get bald in one night"
"He might in an Indian country" an
swered the father, whereupon there was
silence for g little time. Then the boy
impatiently said:

from an untimely end by what Colonel
Elsdale calls "a dose of oxygen"
1t would probably be invaluable, toe,
in cases of suffocation from the fumes OF
charcoal, or in cases where chloroform
had operated injuriously on q weak
heart. Such discovery should at once
occupy the attention OF the Royal Col

tanning whether Colonel Elsdale has

They are Partisan in their Bohemian

pleasure In contemplating the various
modes Of existence that the lively me
torpelis presents to the phlosephie OBJ
server. The nocturnal ben vivants who
make up the cotsrie are actors and
actresses, men about town, clubmen,
conegiaRs and professional men, who
have the faculty Of never getting sleepy
unCu the sun wakes up
The restaurants have become noted re-
sorts because of the presence of these
Bohemian spirits They are prosperous,
and IN the character and quality of their
creature comforts rank in the first class.
Their prosperity has been attributed to
fortunate location. They are situated
half mile apart on the west side Of
Broadway, amid the group of fashionable
theaters AID big hotels in the Tenderloin
district, that famous parallelogram of
Gotham blocks which has for years been
known as 1.-The heart of the city," and
which is a locahtyIthat the police say

Special accommodations are provided
for the Bohemian set. They recall the
Gave of Harmony" that Thackeray tells
about. In the restaurant at the south
ern end of the big Tenderloin parallelo-
gram this Bohemian Gave Of Harmony
is located on the groand floor. When
the restaurant was first established the
bower was directly back OF the big
apartment where ordinary guests got
their late meals.

NhEk6 THEY MEET.
It was separated from the main res.
taurant by an alcove. decorated with lace
curtains. When the coter g grew in
numbers, however, a new and spacious
apartment, aglow with electric lights,
was added to provide comfortable ac-
commodation for the special patrons. 1t
has mirrors and fine frescees. In the
second restaurant the whole second floor
of the building is set aside for the Bo-
hemian bower. 1t is caTpeted and COM
fortably furnished, and the indispensa-
BILE mirrors are there too.
1t is generally near midnight before
the neighboring playhouses are shut up
and the fun makers Of the stage are free
to enjoy themselves. Pretty actresses,
neat in attire, light witted and fond Of
late hours and Bohemian associations
saunter in in knots of two or three. Male
escorts accompany them.
By o'clock the coterie is at its live
hest. 1t is striking picture of midnight
conviviality. Soubrettes and chorus girls
are the bright particular stars. The
actors, dressed up like fashion plates,
are sort of background to the picture.
The clubmen aud collegians and profess
sional men are the moths enjoying the
glitter. They are almost invariably
young. Sometimes. however, a gay old
fellow with gray hair and jolly laugh
gives the interesting spectacle of the fell
low who is trying hard to be boy and
sit up with the other boys. Whether
the moths are young or old, however,
they seem inspired with the same ardent
ambition to gain the good grsces Of the
theatrical people.
Each plungss into his pocket for money
and tries to excel the others in spending
it for the entertainment of the soubrettes
and chorus girls, and incidentally keep
ing solid with the actors and managers.
They seem to imagine that this sort Of
thing will insure good seats at the the
alter whenever they want to 90 there,
and that they won't have to pay for the
seats at all In most instances this is a
very big mistake.
