A Rival to Rubber.

1t is one of the remarkable facts Of
existence that when a substance that
has hitherto been deemed indispens-
able fails US. there are others brought
out almost Immediately that appear
not only to take its place but to far ex-
coed it in utility and the range of USE
fulness. A new material, bearing the
name of cellulose, is said TO be COM
posed of exactly the same elements as
starch. 1t will absorb any color, takes
polish readily, may be turned in a
lathe or rolled into fat sheets of any
desired thickness and stamped into
plates, pans, trays, boxes, book-covers
or almost anything of a similar char
acter. Made liquid and used as a size,
it is admirable as waterproofng and
has thousand uses that could not be
found in rubber. II is said TO be ex
ceedingly tenacious and will be per-
feet substitute for glue. AS the rubber
crop has not in all particulars been
satisfactory, this new material will be
hailed with enthusiasm by consumers
who appreciate high-elass productions
at reasonable prices.

| Mexico there has been found a bronze
| and hammered iron sword bearing on
| its blade and handle in rich inlaying
of silver characters Of record and rep
| reservations of life distinctivelv As
| syrian and Greeian. The characters
on one side of the blade are cuneiform,
| says a writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat; those on the other cannot
be identified; possibly they are Hittite-
The first, fourth, sixth. eighth and
| eleventh letters in the easily recogniz-
able cuneiform characters of Chaldean
| antiquity are exactly alike as craven
upon the blade; the first, fourth, sixth,
eighth and eleventh letters in the
mystic inscription on the reverse are
also identical It is in the possession
of Senior Gonzale NJ. Moliner, a de-
| scendant of one of the oldest and most
illustrious families of Spain, who is
! resident in the City of Mexico. He
viii soon lay it before the Smithsonian
institution in person, and until that
time 1t will not see the light of re-
search outside of Mexico. The sword
and its scabbard of bronze are massive
and well preserved. In total length the
sword is twenty-six and one-half inches,
with a blade Ct nineteen inches. The
roughly hammered iron blade shows
the crudity of the early days of the
iron age, but the exquisite inlaying Of
silver on the bronze bears testimony to
the cunning of the silversmiths who
wrought the weapon. To all appear
ances, and according to the inscrip-
tions, it was royal arm, for on its
ample hilt it bears in horizontal lines
the crowned head of its evident
wearer, while below, in cuneiform
characters on the blade, are apparently
the title and name of the sovereign.
The sword and scabbard weigh twelve
pounds, Of which the sword alone rep
resents two-thirds of the total.
The story of the discovery of this in
teresting relic is romance. Seven
years ago curiosity dealer in the City
of Mexico purchased it for a few paltry
reals from an ignorant Indian from
Merida, in the state of Yucatan, in
southern Mexico. The dealer supposed
it to be nothing more than an old Roman
sword, such as were often worn by the
Spaniards at the time of the conquest
of Mexico. The Indian said he found
it in the depths Of tomb which he
had penetrated, and that, with a
bronze spoon, now also in the posses
sion of Senior Moliner, it was the only
thing of interest he had found. The
sword and scabbard were incrusted
with half an inch of oxidation
from their long burial, and on being
cleaned up were offered for sale to
tourists along with the customary
more or less valuable stock in trade Of
an enterprising curio dealer. For one
reason or another it remained in stock
until recently, when it by chance
caught the eye of Senior Moliner, who
has made an intelligent study of an
tiquities, both in Europe and America,
and who at once bought it at curio
sale price.

Mountains DISAPPEARING.

VI. de Lapparent, the eminent pro-
fessor of geology at the institute Of
Paris, in paper read before the Scien-
tific Catholic congress, expressed the
opinion that all mountains will vanish
OFF the face of the earth in course of
time. He declared that, If the actual
natural forces at work upon our globe
retain their present intensity, in four
and half million years all inequali-
ties of surface will be leveled. He in
stanced as a striking example the re-
duction of the Ardennes. which were
once chain of the Alps, but which
had already shrunk TO their present
dimensions at the outset OF the tertiary
epoch. The Alps, he said. exemplified
the youth. the Pyrenees the maturity,
and the mountains of Provence the de-
Ginning years of mountain ranges,
while the central plateau of France
was typical of their death and dissolu-
ton. He adduced other arguments in
support of his thesis-namely the lev
cling of the earth's surface in given
number of cycles-and paid an eloquent
tribute to the labors Of the biologists
who read the records of life upon the
earth before the advent of man

AN AWFUL BATTLE.
Scenes on the Chen-YueD During the Yaln
River Fight

A British naval officer attached TO
the Chinese naval squadron which was
engaged iii the fight Off the mouth O:
the Yalu river has written a letter to
the London Graphic in which he gives
additional details of the lighting, and
says:
lon board the warship Chen-Yuen the
/ fighting was awful. The decks and the
space around the guns were strewn
with human fragments Three of five
men working on a four-ton gun were
blown up by she'll from the Japanese
warship Naniwa. The fourth gunner
was shot while try ing TO escape from
the turret and the fifth stuck to his
post.
This man fred three rounds at
the Naniwa, one shell entering the
engine room of the japanese ship and
another smashing her forebridge. The
Naniwa then hauled Off The Chinese
admiral rewarded the surviving gun
ner with a present of one thousand
t3els.
"A shell glanced from the steel deck
of the Chen-Yuen and went through
her tower, SCATTERING everything there
in. A lieutenant who was in the act Of
speaking through the tube leading To the
engine room was blown into atoms and
his head was left hanging to the speak
ing pipes Huge fragments of armor
and the teak backing thereof were car
ried on board by the shot, crushing
large number of sailors into a shape
less mass
"a European engineer who was in
the act of cropping about in an endeavor
TO repair a steampipe was drenched
from head to foot with the blood of an
assistant who was disemboweled by his
side by shot from the enemy's ship.
Then Chen-Yuen arrived at Wei
Hai-Wei the day after the fight in the
same condition in which she left the
battle. No attempt has been made 10
wash the blood from her or remove tho
corpses which strewed her decks"
The writer expresses the opinion
that if the European rulers could have
seen the decks of the Chen-Yucn they
would have foresworn war henceforth
and forever.

HIS BIG RED EARS,
They Prevented Him from Making . Good
Match.


Nothing is SO hottie to romance as
ridicule. This truth was strikmgly il
Illustrated in the case of a college
friend Of my own.
He was good-looking young fellow,
but had, unfortunately, been gifted by
nature with a large and red pair of
ears, which stood out from his head in
a distressing fashion, says a writer in
Answers His sweethearts young
brothers chafed her numerically
about this popularity Of her lovers.
They compared his ears to Chinese
fans, and talked up some preposterous
story of one of the old travellers about
an African race whose ears were SO
large that they used to wrap them
selves up in them during inclement
weather. They insinuated that their
sisters lover was the sole surviving
member of that race. Absurd as it
may seem, their foolish talk resulted
in broken engagement.
