Curious Effects of Frost.

An egg expands when it is frozen so much that the increased bulk breaks the shell. Apples, on the contrary, contract to such an extent that full barrel will shrink until the top layer will be foot below the chime. When the frost has been slowly and carefully drawn out they again assume their normal size and appearance. Apples can be transported when the mercury is twenty degrees below zero. Potatoes once touched by frost are ruined.-St. Louis Republic

cAvE-DwELLERs IN MEXICO.
They Are Not Related to the Ancient Cnn
 DwelIers.


 Cave-dwellers are found among the following tribes, counting from the north The Southern Pimas, the Tara humaris and the allied tribe of Huaro- gios, and the Tepehuanes All these tribes inhabit the state of Chihuahua and are more or less mountaineers, liY- ing almost entirely on the great Sierra Madre range. Of these people the Ia rahumaris are most attached to caves, the Tepehuapes the least. All are lin- guistically related. In some of their customs and manners they also greatly resemble each other. while In others, as well as in character. they are strik- ingly different. Very little that may be called accurate was known of these tribes. The Tarahumaris, the most primitive of them and the least affected by Mexican civilization, are the most interesting.
 Are the cave-dwellers related to the ancient cliH-dwellers of the southwest erh part of the United States and northern Mexico? Decidedly not. Their very aversion to living more than one family in a cave, and their lack of 5Qp1d 6 SLIOAR COAbIdSb with the ancient cliff-dwellers who were by nature gregarious. The fact that people live in caves is in itself ex- tremely interesting, but this alone does not prove any connection between them and the anciept cliff-dwellers. Al though the Tarahumari is very intelli- gent, he Is backward In the arts and industries. His pottery is exceedingly crude, as compared with the work found in the old eliff-dwellers' work. The cliff-dwellers brought the work of decoration to comparatively high state, as shown in the relics found in their dwellings. But the eave-dweller of to-day shows no suggestion of such skill. Moreover, he is utterly devoid of the architectural gift, which result ed in the remarkable rock structures of the early cliff-dwellers. These peo- pie, so far as concerns their cave-dwell- ing habits, cannot be ranked above troglodytes. es.-Dr Carl Lumholz. in Scribner's

Mistakes Made in the Early Attempts at an
 Artificial Process.
 The earliest attempts at the artificial drying of lumber made no difference in the matter of varieties of wood or quality of stock. All kinds and quail ties were runi in proniscuously. and all subjected to the same treatment. The only theory acted upon was that the lumber, being green or wet. must be dried in the shortest possible time. To effect this result it was only thought necessary to create as great heat as poesiRle within tAs limits. of safety.
