Such fables about meteoric collisions and
the end of the world please audiences.
Falb, however, knows very well that
what he says is not true added Prof.
Weiss. with an ironical smile.
The writer to whom we are indebted
for this interview with Prof. Weiss thus
concludes his essay:
From the utterances Of Prof. Weiss,
therefore. we have the argument that
Falb knows very well that the comet OF
1866 and the meteoric shower have no
possible connection but be exploits the
probable accidental coincidence Of the
passing of the comet with the meteoric
shower i'm one and the same year for
his own purposes. in order to predict a
critical day of sensational interest"
Danger From Falling MetcOrs.
T Some Vienna scientists think. indeed,
that the inhabitants of the world may
possibly be in more danger in 1899 from
the falling of meteors than from the
cometary collision, and that collision
with the earth would be bad for the
comet. just in the way that the. comet

Mysteries OF Dry Cleaning.

Last years garments would often
be as well cleansed at home as at the
dyer's if a superstltIous idea did not
prevail as to mysterious processes Of
the professionals.
If they cannot be put in water
they are dipped in vat Of benzine.
Whether they are put in benzine or
water depends upon the material, a
piece of which is experimental with

prepared chalk and laid between
hanrels with a warm iron on it,
If it is rust On cotton fabrics the
spot is covered with salt and lemon
juice poured through it, and after
the lemon juice warm water. Only
cotton can be thus treated.
Lace is washed in borax soap and
water stiffened if desired with borax
and pinned between fannels pressed.
Wool and silk garments in all fast
colors such as brown, blue, etc,
black, are washed in soap bark
which takes out all the grease and
seems to give new body to the mate

it down to one quart, which they put
