polar aurora records, which extends
back to Aristotle, Cicero and Pllny.
The first attempts at scientific eXplana-
ton of these optical phenomena are
especially interesting, being, perhaps,
not, so very much wider Of the truth
than the best that science can offer
today.
The last chapter Mr.. Angot deVoteS

and, although he claims nothing final
for any of them, he presents them in q
way which makes them perfectly lucid.

Ira Nelson Morris has published a
little book of travels entitled ''With the
Trade. Winds.,' It is an account of a
jaunt in Venezuelagsand the West In
dies and in it personal affairs and i'm
pfessfons s'are indfscriminately mixed
with geographical and historical facts
concerning the places visited. The
illustrations are both interesting and
artistic and constitute charming
feature of the little volume. Books Of
travel lose their interest for the public
in the exact ratio of the number pro-
dueed, and now, in the days Of running
to and fro when nearly everybody
travels and but few can refrain from
seeing their adventures in print, it is
but little more than a thankless task
to offer busy world the benefit of our
experiences, however profitable and in
teresting they may have been to our
selves.

with the Band" is a small book Of
verses, mostly military, by Robert W.
Chambers. The author is most I'M
abashed in his imitation of Kipling in
both manner and subiect-an imita-
ton so candid in it's admiration of the
master that one objects to it not be-
cause of its lack of originality, but only
because it, falls so far short
Of it's model The little birch
bark canoe with "Min-ne- ha -ha''
els is supposed to remind us Of the
mighty red man: and so it does in
much the same way that Mr.. Cham
bers' muse suggests Kipling's.
Some of the poems, however, have dis
tlnct charm of their own; most characteristic
is Ely Considine. Here is the first verse:
AT the barrack gate she SITS
Ely Considine;
Now she dozes, now she knits,
While the sunshine through the Sits
In the trellised trumpet vine
Warns old Ely Considne-
Warns her heart that long ago
Set the regiment ag,ow!
Sweeter colleen ne'er was seen
Than Eileen.
Lips that famed like scarlet wine
Eyes of azure, smile divine
Is that you
Selling apples,
Where the gilded sunlight dapples,
Ely Considne?"
In something of the manner of "The Black
Riders is his Courage"
Gas Death and stood whispering in the
house,
Love came with a crystal cup
Drink! said Love; there is life in the cup!
And 1 drank long life to Death.
Drink!' said Love, and Death drank life to
Love.
Then l heard the crash of the crystal cup as
Death and l stood whispering in the house."

In mining for gold in Siberia the
ground is kept clear OF snow, so rs to
permit the cold to penetrate rs deeply
as possible, after which the surface IS
thawed by fires until Il shallow layer OF
earth can be removed The freezing IS
then allowed to proceed and the thaw-
ing operation is repeated, and this IS con-
tinued as long as the cold weather lasts.
In this way, through the long Siberian
winters, open excavations are made TO
the gold bearing rocks, the depth at
tanned being from 20 TO 10 feet, accord
ing TO the duration OF the cold season.
Artificial cold for purposes of exca-
walton was used first by Poetsch in 1883.
By his well known process of the circu-
lation Of cold brine through series OF
buried pipes the most difficult Quicksand
may lie made hard enough TO be exca-
vaJed like rock.
Among the important applications Of
the fIno7ing process are noted the sink
ing of the shafts for the cylinders of the
hydraulic elevator for the canal lift at
Les Fontinettes and the construction of
tunnel at Stockholm. The latter work
was executed entirely by the introduc-
ton of cold air into the working cham

Little Things Prove Profitable.

The ball and socket glove fastener
is Il Frenchmans idea, and it has
made him rich. A successful inven
ton is the double ball clasp for peck
eft books and handbags. 1t is said
that no sort of clasp can be popular
unless it makes noise when it CATCH
es. Only II few years ago lucky
man thought of putting a couple OF
little strips of cork on the nose-pieces
of eve glasses to make them more
comfortable Nearly all eye glasses
nova days have this improvement
and every pair pays royalty to the
inventor. The latest Of theveIy pro-
titable small inventions is the tin cap
for beer bottles, which is taking the
place of corks; it is cheaper than the
cork, more convenient and keeps the
beer better. Metal lemon squeezers
are undesirable, because the juice of
the fruit acts upon the medal and
makes d poison. Not long ago some
body thought of making lemon
soueezers of glass and the idea was
worth Just $50, 1000 to him. Tin cans
are now made so that they can be
opened by simply striking the top

Pure Water Versus Malaria.

Asa general rule, all waters coming
directly. or, rather indirectly, from near
the surface of the ground must be
avoided. Recourse must be had either
10 deep wells or tie drinking water
must be boiled. The experience OF the
town of Hawkinsville, Ga, will we'll
illustrate this point This thrifty lit
tie manufacturing city was located, I'M
fortunately, in malarial section. Al
though the disease was not at all severe
malaria was so common that its inhab-
itants got into the habit Of expecting 10
have few chills every fall rs Il matter
of course. The water used until recent
wears was drawn from shallow wells
which undoubtedly received the surface
drainage OF the country IN order TO get
Il larger supply Of water one OF the cot
ton factories put down an arteslan we'll.
The autumn following the people who
had used this water exclusively during
the season We're gratified TO find that
thew had escaped from the expected
chilIs. The result was that sufficient
number of artesian wells We're sunk to
supply the entire town, and the place
has been free from malaria ever since.
Another very striking illustration
was found in the Brazos bottom Of Tex
as which was long known as such
malarial country that white man
could not risk living there during the
later summer and fall. During receut
visit to that section the writer learned
that the ruly now is to keep out OF the
damp air at night, drink only arteslan
water, and you will be safe. South

EuauiclinY Marble.

Sufficient importance is attached by
the Franklin institute Philadelphia to
the uew Fischer method OF cnamellnS
marble to make it the subject of an Off
cial investigation and report. The plan
consists in imparting to marble a glazed
or polished surface by submitting 1t TO
the action OF hydrochloric acid for GER
tain time. This glazing solution is coln-
POSED Of one part acid and seven parts
water for general use, but for action
upon very hard marbles a stronger solu-
ton, having only five parts water, IS
employed. The action of the dilute acid
upon the marble immersed in it is to at
tack every part CT the surface, slowly
dissolving the same and causing the
marble to assume a glossy appearance
without relatively changing its shape
that is, as the acid is equally active
upon the entire exposed surface of the
stone the minute crevices are treated to
the sGme erosion as the prominent or
fat surfaces, and the result is uniform
" perfect. The report adds that though
of necessity the marble Is eaten away
somewhat and very sharp sculpturing is
likely TO be slightly rounded, yet if the
action of the acid is not prolonged un-
necessarily, not only Goes no serious in
jury result, but finely polished surface
is produced over every exposed part OF
the marble such as is impracticable to
equal by any mechanical method now i'll

DO Not Eat Eggs When Angry.

did you know that it was danger.
our to eat eggs while you are angry
was the strange question asked by
A. E. Stewart, u Bostonese. Don't
ask me for the reason of it, forl can't
give it, but do know from observa-
tion that people have died in terrible
agony after eating eggs while Their
passions were aroused. You needn't
laugh, don't mean while the pas
sions of the eggs were aroused. |
mean the temper of the victims. l
mentioned this to an eminent phys
ician once and he scotfed at it. That
was no less than expected him to do.
Physicians don't know much that
lies out of the beaten paths of their
science. They don't even know how
to cure the grip. But take warning
from me and never eat eggs while
you are angry. Then you will be on
the safe side. no matter what your
doctor may tell you aboutit.
"My attention was first called to
this strange fact by the tragic and
sudden death of a lady acquaintance
in Boston several years ago. l accep-
ted her husbands invitation to dine
with them. just as we were going III
to dinner servant did something
that caused the lady to fly into ter
rible rage. She had been irritable
from some minor complaint for sew
eral days, and her husband Gained
her rut1led feelings sufficiently for the
dinner to be eaten in good temper. l
noticed that she ate an unusually
large amount OF soft scrambled eggs
Fifteen minutes after we left the din
ing room she was n corpse. She died
in frightful commissions before the
nearest by doctor reached the house.
The physician was unable to ascribe
the cause. \ few months later l was
visiting brother in Connecticut and
one OF his sons died under similar cir
cumstances. Before breakfast one
morning the boy, who was about fiji.
teen years old, had a fight with
neighbours boy. Before his anger
had subsidized my nephew was called
to breakfast. lie ate four soft-hoiled
eggs. Had | known as much then as
| do now | would have prevented it.
In less than half an hourafter break
fast the boy died with exactly the
same symptoms that were present
when my friends wife died. This set
me to thinking about the matter.
1T wasn't long after this before
Beacon Street friend of mine expired
suddenly after meal. The doctors.
as usual, were divided in opinion as
to the cause of his death. Some of
them contended that it was heart
failure, whatever that is, and others
still hold out that it was apopleXy.
Inquiry by me developed the fact
that my friend was very angry when
he sat down at the table, and that he
ate five eggs. With these develop
ments / searched no farther for the
cause of his death. He was angry,
he ate eggs, and he died. If these are

To sleep but onco in II days and then

seems u crrcl enough condition. 1t is
only part of the torture which M. B.
Cowdricll Of Bradford, Clcarticld coun-
ty. Pa, has suffered for the past l l
years.
Mr. Cowdricks life during that time
has been one Of such amending agony
that nothing but the state of the
damned can be worse Human ingenuity
never devised such cruelty. He would
be il good luck if he could change places

ccasins. is Just us great us it can bo
without depriving him of life and put
ting him ont OF his misery. 1t is thus
tho most appalling form of suffering
which the human mind Gun conceive.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Cowdrick was
attacked by. pains which he thought to
be rheumatic. They soon caused him
acute suffering, and he consulted To-
cal physician. This mans treatment
was tried for some months and had no
good results. A second physician was
consulted and again without effect.
Mr.. Cowdrick then went TO Philadel-
phia, where he consulted Il well known
specialist IN the treatment of rheumat-
ic disease The exact nature of his COM
plant was mystery to this practition-
cr. He experimental with various REM
edieS without success.
The invalid visited iii succession
three other we'll known Philadelphia
physicians. Not one of them was able
to relieve him. One of them recon-
mended pine baths, and these ho also
tried without success. During this
time the disease had been steadily grow
ing worse until Cowdrick was IN tho
condition in which he still finds HIM
self. The pains were inccssant, and he
had to spend his time sitting helpless
in an easy chair, squeezing his racked
limbs. Natural sleep became impossible
and only opiatcs brought this great re-
lever.
After physicians he tried patent med
ttlili litSSN ttlN'4lS Nv pew S'SA

we'll to 90 man; now he is on the verge
OF poverty.
Eleven years ago his condition ncces-
STATED u heavy dose of opiates. The mi
tial dose soon became powerless and had
10 be increased rapidly. Now the guam
tity that Will give him relief is so great
that it means Il further weakening OF
his shattered health. 1t is not possible,
without cntiangcring his life, to put
him 10 sleep more than once il two
weeks.
Night and day he sits in his invalid
chair, wringing his hands in hopeless
supplication, waiting for the relief that
never comes. His once strong frame is
reduced 10 writing skeleton, but still
resists the attack OF the enemy that
never relents. Sleep is possible so sell
