Various instances are on record where
metals, while not showing any appre-
ciable wear, have literally fallen to
pieces, and that without any assigned
cause. On one occasion a steel rail,
after 22 years continuous service on
the Great Northern railway, in Eng
land, actually disinteprated under the
wheels of passing train. So complete
was the breaking up that scientists
thought it worthy of investigation, dur
ing which it was determined that the
metal had become exhausted and had
broken down, just as an overstrained
animal might be expected to do. This
has led to further inquiry, and scien-
fists are satisfied that metals do become
tired out Fine cracks often appear in
steel rails, and it has been supposed that
they are caused by the continuous con-
cussion of railway wheels. This, how
ever, seems to be contradicted by the
examination of newly made rails, in
which similar fine lines occur. The
idea that metals become weary while
not altogether new one, is to an eX
tent plausible one and under the care.
full scrutiny of scientific societies will
probably be satisfactorily explained and
settled. New York Ledger.

The recent disaster at Paris has called
the attention of the public to the i'm
portance of making articles of decora-
ton or of wearing apparel non-intiam-
mable, and experiments have proven
that even wood may be made capable of
resisting an ordinary flame. Textiles
are very easily made flreproof. One OF
the dangers of exhibitions is the pres
ence of celluloid, and the attention of
scientists is being turned toward some
treatment of celluloid which will de-
crease its dangerous qualities. Cellu-
loid is being used in thousand ways
for everyday purposes, and the fierce
ness of the flame when it takes fire
makes it an exceedingly dangerous
thing in careless hands. 1t, therefore
ought to be made in some way less In
fammable.--N. Y. Ledger.

The Bookkeeper's Bette Noire.

Ask a tookkeeper what his "black
beast" is. and he will tell you the
monthly trial balance. Some of you
know what thlt is. of course, but the
majority of NCu peri aps do not. Let
us explain briefly IN double entry
boolskeepirf, {, the cnly kind that de-
serves the name Of bookkeeping, every
debit must have its credit-that is to
say, every item that is carried to the
debit of one account must be carried to
the credit Of another.
Say, for example, you buy bill of
goods from merchant. He enters the
amount to your debit on his books and
at the same time CIcdits an account
called merchandise, this account be-
ing debited with all the goods brought
into the stock and credited with all the
goods sold from it, When you pay the
bill, you are credited with the amount,
and an account called leash" is debit
ed, because it receives the money.
This will explain to the uninitiated
the meaning of the term "double en-
try" and it will also explain why,
after the entries have all been carried
to the ledger and balances have been
struck thereon, the debts and the cred
its will agree if the books have been
correctly kept To test the correctness
of his work the bookkeeper takes off
every month trial balance, which
consists simply Of the debit balances in
one column and the credit balances in
another. If they foot up the same, the
work has been correctly done. If they
vary, he must look for and find the er-
ror or errors before the next months
business is entered on the ledger
You can readily understand, there
fore, why the trial balance is the book

Those Who Indulge in Pastimes to

"If you don't want the world to know
that you have done thing, don't do
IT," was the sage observation of an an
cient philosopher. The advice has re-
newed force now, when women are be-
coming more and more emancipated,
and are taking up the pursuits and
occupations and even the sports and
pleasures that used to be considered
mems especial prerogatives. Whether
women's faces are more mobile and
more ready to receive an imprint or
whether women are less given to self
restraint and so express more of their
inner feelings is not definitely under
stood, but the fact remains that on
nearly every feminine face is indelibly
stamped some impress of her favorite
pursuit or amusement.
The bicycle face is well known, with
it's tightly drawn muscles, resolute,
tense expression and an underlying air
Of resignation, as If it were saying:
"If death whirls around the next cor
ner will meet it with fortitude." The
long-distance lens of the golf-eye Is
also growing common, but the card
face Is com paratively new. The more
experienced Sherlock Holmeses of So
ciety claim that they can detect the
difference between the whist face and
the countenance nodded by progressive
euchre, but the card face in general is
recognizable by the veriest tyro.
There are women who have thrown
themselves into card playing so fever
ishly, with such intense excitement,
that it is no longer diversion, but a
serious task. Whether they play for
money or for points or for some trum-
perry prize which they would not ad-
nit to their drawing-room except as
an evidence of their skill at the game,
the result is the same. The strain on
their nerves is expressed by closely
| drawn brows and an eye eager and
watchful for an opponents plays and
misplays. while greed and the desire
for gain show themselves in the ugly
lines about the mouth. This descrip-
ton applies, of course, to the worst
victims of the craze, but the same symp-
toms, in a more or less modified form,
are appearing on the faces of not few
of society's maids and matrons.-Mun-

Eel Blood for Snakea,

Some years ago the naturalist Mosse
found that the blood of cells, particular
ly that of the sea cells, contained poi
son which acted, when transferred into
the human system, similar to the venom
of vipers, although weaker, inasmuch
as the eel poison brought about SIM
liar reduction of the temperature of
the blood as the snake poison. Based
upon this fact, Prof. c. Phisalik made
very interesting researches, which be
presented recently to the Academy of
Sciences at Paris. He concluded that
the blood of eels possessed immunity
ing agencies upon snake poison. He
succeeded by heating solution of eel
poison to So degrees Centigrade to de-
stroy its virulence. so that it was pos
eible to inoculate Guinea pig with the
fluid, the only effect being the raising
of the temperature by few degrees.
This reaction of the organism was fol-
lowed by perfect capability to resist
the poison of the vipers, which was
administered in deadly dose IS to 20
hours after the incubation with eel
\ blood, but it absolutely failed to kill
the animal. Even a very email quantity
of the heated eel serum was sufficient
to produce immunity from snake poi
son. This discovery is most important,
since 1t can be employed for immuni-
tying human beings against snake
bites, and. II not too far progressed, II
will even insure more rapid recov'
cry from snake bite of victims who had
mt nreviouslv heen iynmuulfled with
/. the serm.-Philadelphia Record.

A SOUTH AFRICAN PEST.
Balloons Prey ON Valuable Stock and
Delight in MischievOus Deeds.

DeI18nt IN M1scn1evOue Dee0es
The South African colonists have got
rid of their lions and elephants, but
they have not yet been able to get the
better of the baboon. A baboon,
although somewhat like dog, has all
the mischievousness of man. 1t is
the ugliest animal in all creation. The
Beers call him Adonis, and never desig-
nate him under the official name that
has been given him by science.
Now this creature is the curse of the
Cape colony. He commits depreda-
tions for the love of the thing. Any inn
prudent toIncat that ventures too far
away from home is sure to be captured
and strangled for fun by baboon.
Nearly all the Angoras, the choicest
animals imported by the colonists,
have been destroyed by these huge
monkeys. Even the dogs share the
same fate. The bravest and most pug
nacious of the English canine breeds
are unable to cope with adversaries,
armed with just as powerful jaws, and
with the immense advantage of having
four hands instead of four paws. With
dexterity that conspicuously exhibits
his surgical aptitude the baboon
bleeds his enemy in the throat and in
less than a minute the duel ends in the
death of the dog
When the shepherd is away and the
dog has been disposed of the flock is
! left without defense. Although the
baboon usually feeds upon lizards and
beetles, he does not despise a few
mouthfuls of mutton, which he devours
seated on the back of his living victim.
Unfortunate are the goats and sheep
that are attacked by these cynoceph.
ali. When Adonis finds his appetite
fully satisfied he enjoys at little dis.
tance the contortions of his victim. He
frequently attacks cows, but never at.
tempts to get into close quarters with
bull The ostrich, thanks to his eN-
traordinary speed, can easily get away
from the baboon, but it is very much
afraid of him, and Immediately runs
off on hearing his bark. 1t is note
worthy that nature has given the
baboon not only the head of dog, but
also the voice of dog. All birds that
are not remarkable for their intelli
gence have an insurmountable dread
of the cynocephalus.
One Of the principal amusements OF
these big monkeys is to gambol around
the wire fences that protect the tame
ostriches just to terrify them. Tht
panic among them is so great that they
often break their legs in their wild
rnshes. This is pastime which tine
monkeys seem to enjoy hugely. 1t Il
known that broken leg for an Ostrich
means death sentence-Paris Figaro

Insurance Craze.

Among the curiosities of the times in
England not the least remarkable is the
insurance craze, which has just taken
on a new phase. This is insuring against
England going to war with different
nations. The various premiums show
the estimate of the insurance compan-
les views on the subject, and, therefore,
cannot fail to be of interest. Thus the
possibility of war between England and
any of the three great European powers
Germany, France and Russia-is
rated at four pounds per cent; with the
other European powers, except Turkey
or the Transvaal, at five guineas per
cent, while insurance against war with
any power at all is obtained by pre-
MUM of eight guineas per cent.-N. Y.

The fact that New Bedford, Mass. is
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
it's incorporation as a city next Octo-
Der brings out the interesting informa-
tion that only four cities in the COM
monwealth have passed the half CEN
tury mark. The town and settlements
of Massachusetts are among the oldest
in the country, but the cities are COM
paratively young. Cambridge cele-
braetd its flftieth birthday as city
last year. Salem and Lowell are just
ten years older than the university
town, while Boston attains her seven
ty-fifth anniversary this year. Worces-
ter as city will be so years old on Feb
ruary 90, 1898, and two years later Lynn
may make the same boast. Newbury-
port, Springfield, Lawrence and Fall
River follow in order, at intervals of
a year apart. Chelsea joined the sis
terhood in 1857, Taunton in 1864, Haver-
hill in 1869 and Somerville In 1871.
Fitchburg became city just 25 years
ago, and the next year, 1873, three new
names were added to the list-IIolyoke,
Gloucester and Newton. No more
towns were made cities till eight years
later when Maiden and Brockton were
thus changed in 1881. OF the remain,
