NATURES own PROTECTION.

Explanation OF why n Swelling Fol-
lows from n Blow.
The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep
1t at rest while repair is going on, says
the Philadelphia Times. What actually
takes place at the seat Of injury is not
even now quite understood. The in
jury to the smaller blood vessels inter-
feres with the flow of blood through
them and the white corpuscles, with
part of the serum, the watering part of
the blood, escape into the surrounding
tissues. Atthe same time the blood YES
sells in the neighborhood dilate and the
increased flow of blood with the
thoroughfare obstructed increases the
swelling.
1t is probable that the white corpus
cles of the blood pass into the tissues
to assist In the repair, as bees or ants
assemble at an injury to their store
house, but with this difference, that the
substance of the corpusclesis probably
converted into the tissue of repair.
From one pointof view the human body
is only one gigantic colony of individ-
uals, and the swelling that follows in
jury but the rush of these to repair the
breach

Last Heard Words of King Who Had
Reen Drunk Fifteen Years.
In other lands there are drinks far be-
yond ours In strength and strangeness,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. There
is the Russian vodki, for instance. A
gill of it poured down Carthagenian
mummy will set that long dead person
to fighting all his Punic battles DER
again. In the forceful language of the
west: 1.-TWO drinks of it will make
man go home and steal his own pants"
The West Indian gets from the cocoa
nut clear pure water, toddy and ar
rack, which is a rock-splitting brandy.
OF their toddy Boyle says ut looks like
skim milk and smells like 500 slaves in
q pen" The Marquesans have seduc-
tive drink called aroo. A number of
young boys sitting in a circle chew
fresh cocoanut and when it is sufi-
GENTLY masticated expectorate it into
n bowl that Is the common receptacle.
Fresh water Is poured upon this delect-
able mixture and it is allowed to fer
ment. The South Sea islanders pre-
pare the ava root in the same way. Paul
du Chaillu once found a wonderful
drunkard in the person Of the king Of
Olenga- Yombi. When he was an in
FAINT his father would take him to the
top of small tree aud force him to
drink palm wine, until he came to pre-
fer it to his mothers milk. 1t was the
ingenious parents ambition to make
him the champion boozer of equatorial
Africa, and he succeeded. The king of
Olenga- Yombi in Du Chaillu's time had
been solidly drunk for IS years, and
when last heard from was calling loud
" for another gourdful.

Queer Names.

A traveller who spent some time in
the wilds of Texas says that he found
families who named the children to
indorse sentiment after this peculiar
fashion: some Too Many Harry" or
''Not Wanted James," Itis to chopped
that the names did not embarrass their
owners with more than one sense Of
superiority. The negroes of the south,
when left to their own methods of
naming their progeny, strive for the
most romantic and poetic or historic
names they can find, and good, long
string of them, too. A colored girl in
Laurens county, S. c., is named "Fair

Travels from Finland to Alaska Un-

AEGNGAb ANVMA ~ AAbaHAAs OA-
able 10 Speak EngliRh.
Travelling from Finland to Alaska with
out speaking word that anyone under
stood, without a single travelling COM
panion, or without meeting person
who knew him from one end OF the
journey to the other, is no small under
taking, but II has just been completed
by an eight-year-old boy, says the Sc
attic Times. ALagnus Nessler left q
pleasant home in PARKWAY Finland on
June TO join his father and mother,
who are working at Douglas City. He
made his long journey across the great
pond in the steerage of one of the big
ocean steamers. Here he was not so
lonely, as there were other Finlanders
on the boat who talked the language
he could understand. At New York
there was no delay, owing to care
fully-written shipping card which had
been sewed securely on the back Of
his coat before he started on the long
journey. This did away with the neces-
sity of talking rs far as his getting
through without delay was concerned.
His ticket had been purchased to cover
the entire distance, and the card idrect-
ed him to Circle City hotel, Mt Juneau.
He reached Seattle in time to make
good connections with the Alaska boat,
and was forwarded to Douglas by
friends. His father and mother have
not seen him since he was a baby, over
seven years ago, when they left Fin
land to come to the United States.
Magnus is a well-built boy, with hair
and eyes Characteristic of his race. He
is exceptionally bright, and has al
ready picked up some English. He made
friends with everybody on the steamer
with whom he came in contact,
although he could only talk to them by
signs.

Once Had Enrthquakes.

Southern Scotland and northern Eng
land are visited by multitudes of
strangers each year, and many get as
far as the Western Isles. Few Of them,
however, are reminded of volcanic phe-
nomena, though columnar basalts, such
rs those of Fingars cave, may some
times suggest the thought of lava. Yet
for long periods of time in the far
past this region has been covered with
volcanoes like Hecla, and lava sheets
like those Of the Snake river. Japan
is not more plagued with earthquakes
than England has been, and the quiet
little island has had its Krakotoas. 1t
may have them again, but there is no
immediate danger.

Strange Phenomenon Witnessed in
the Northeast OF the Dark Con tAnent.

Strange Phenomenon Witnessed I'm
the Northeast OF the Dark Continent.
Charles M. Stern, of Chicago, who
lately returned from journey through
Northeast Africa, told Of curious me-
neurological phenomenon which he OBJ
served in the district called Gwallah,
reports the New York Mail and Tx
press. 1.-THE vegetation in that region
is very luxuriant," said he, land the
plant life must give OK an unusually
large quantity of carbonic acid gas. At
least, that WINS the conclusion reached
after seeing three natives die and four
or five dogs.
"The moment the animals put their
noses close to the ground they would
fall over and gasp, and die in about five
minutes. The natives who died slept on
the ground instead of in hammocks, as
others did. My theory Is that stratum
of the deadly gas covered the ground
for depth of three or four inches, and
any living thing breathing in that area
was asphyxiated.
II could not understand, however,
how the gas was not distributed in
thinner layer, and what kept it in one
place for whole day. Nothing like it
had ever been known there before. The
deaths of the men and the dogs oil oc-
CURED within "a hours. Then the gas,
II it was really gas, seemed to be dissi-
pated. 1t was very strange occur
renee and I might have been induced to
make more exhaustive investigation
if my presence had not excited distrust.
I got away as quickly as possible rather
than be accused of being the cause OF
the sudden deaths. The natives are SUI
perstitious, and attribute most Of their
misfortunes to witchcraft, so I thought
it the part of wisdom to get away"

IMPROVEMENTS in GLIDING.
Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.

Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.
In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-covered by means of the electrical
bath. Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
in certain stages very detrimental to
the health of the worlSmen. The old
time gliderused an amalgam of gold and
mercury, causing it to adhere to the
bronze article by means Of nitrate of
mercury, the nitrous and mercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health of the workman,
and sometimes inducing incurable dis
ease. Now the article to be gilded is
placed in an electric bath, the current
is turned on, and in q short time the
piece is ready for the burnisher. Gid
ing by means of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand, but its delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of success-his
work will always show the inexperience
of the workman,

HOME MOUNTAINS.
We Don't Have to Go Abroad to Find
High Climbing.

There are 10 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over 10000 feet above
che ocean level. Forty Of these are
higher than $4,000 feet, and more than
half of that number are so remote
and rugged that no one has yet dared
to attempt to climb them. They are
as unique as those of Switzerland, and
as fearful as the Alps in the warning
they offer TO the men or women who
are so hardy as to defy them by start
ing upon their ascent. Some of them
are massed with snow, others have
glaciers over their approaches, and
others are merely masses Of jagged
rocks.
Not even Coloradoans have sought as
yet to surmount them, and the profess
sion of "gude" is still open to who
ever may care to enter it, Railroads
reach within close enough range to
provide hotel facilities, but otherwise
the mountain climbing of Colorado is
yet awaiting its pioneers. Did The
Coloradoans or the people of other
states fully realize the intoxicants as
well as the health-giving powers Of
mountain climbing, Rocky mountain
climbing would be one of the most
popular recreations of America.
Only one Notwithstanding club is
known to exist in Colorado. There is
room for dozen more. There should
be one in every city. By the evidences
such clubs might offer Of their thrill
ing experiences and Of their unexam-
pied pastimes, the fame of the Rockies
as place of pleasure and adventure
might be widely advertised, and Colo
RADIO thus be pushed forward to the
place it must eventually occupy as the
American substitute for Switzerland.

A Colony OF Degenerate Human
Freaks Who Live Like Beasts.

A Colony of Degenerate Human
Freaks Who Live Like BEASTS.
A most revolving form of human de-
generacy is to be seen on Snake creek,
in the Indian nation, Indian territory,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A small
colony Of human freaks, with dirty,
whitish hair, and white, CLASSY eyes,
eke out o miserable existence in the
midst of the most filthy surroundings,
being ostracized from the companion
ship Of the other Creeks. These de-
generates are the result Of frequent in
termarriage among class of mongrel
whites, negroes and Indians, and the
degeneracy has kept dropping down
the scale of human intelligence until it
is said these people eat snakes, toads
and other reptiles, They use peculiar
jargon, many expressions resembling
the cluclsing of hens and the unpleasant
noises made by belligerentg geese. Their
hair is somewhat kinky, but stands out
nearly straight, giving them a very
frightful appearance. They live out in
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into rude
caves or dugouts, reelSing with filth and
vermin. Many of them are afflicted
with sores, and are deformed or cross
eyed. They are too lazy to be mean,
but the very sight of them is sickening,
and they are stunned like lepers. A
subagent has been asked for to look
after their annuities and to secure for
them something like human comforts.
They have many children, and their off
spring are most pitiful looking objects.

The steady growth Of the nation has
rendered necessary great expansion of
the capitol at Washington, but nothing
has been done to increase the size Of the
white house, says the Washington Post
The latter remains as it was when first
occupied by President John Adams, at
the beginning Of the present century.
It's narrow quarters have caused vast
amount of Embarrassment otis tenants
from time to time. For example, when
the prince of Wales was here the ut
most difficulty was found in making
room for him and few persons Of his
immediate suite, even when q part of
the Office quarters was utilized for
sleeping purposes. There is an urgent
demand for more rooms for the enter
tainment Of distinguished guests OF the
nation on such exceptional occasions.

Smallest Electrical battery.

The smallest electrical battery ever
constructed was the work Of an cleo
trician In the employ OF tho Boston
Telephone company. 1t consisted of
an ordinary glass head" through
which two wires, one of copper and the
other of iron, were looped end twisted
so as to prevent their coming in con-
tact. The wires acted as the cleo
trodes, and all that was necessary to
cause a current was to place q drop
of calculated water in the head. Ger
tainly such minute battery furnished
but an infniteslmal current, but 1t
could be easily used in a delicate tele-
phone; in fact, 1t is said to haveactual-
ly served designating distance OF near
ly 200 miles.

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
A SmOkeless Fuel That Seems to Ne
Gaining I'm Popularity.

A SmOkeIess Fuel That Seems to Ne
Gaining in Popularity,
In the future we may be exporting
masut instead of exporting coal, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Masut is a
byNproduct in the distillatlon of raw
petroleum. 1t is also manufactured
from cheap brown coal found in Sax
ony. There has been, until recently,
great trouble in finding furnace suit
able for burning it. 1t is now blown
by steam into special furnace, on the
principle of the Lucigen light, and used
without difficulty. 1t is 40 or so per
cent. cheaper than coal, and is 20 per
cent. better as a heat raiser. Steam can
be got up quicker and kept at u higher
pressure, and more work can be done
by the machinery. From a naval point
of view these are vitality important
facts. No sign of ship under full
steam will be shown in the sky, for ma
suit is smokeless fuel. Russia and
Italy are using it in their navies, and
Germany has lately made some valuable
experiments. At Kiel, Wilhelmshaven
and Danzig are tanks from which it
can be pumped into ships. Its specific
gravity being so puch less than that
of coal, a ships buoyancy is greatly in
creased when the bunkers are filled
with it. Heavier armor or cargoes can
be carried. The heating capacity be-
ing greater, the ship can travel faster or
farther. 1t is yet to be learned what
improvements the Germans have intrto-
duced into their furnaces, and what
are the disadvantages of masut.

Injured TO Cold.

When asked If he was not afraid of a
temperature of ten degrees below zero
the late Tolman Wiley, of Boston, said:
"Where I was born, sir, my father one
Sunday took me into meeting house
which sat on four stone posts with no
other underpinning. sat in the church
and listened to a sermon on hell for 60
minutes, with the wind bowling under
meath the church and blowing 40 miles
q minute, with no fire in the stove and
the mercury 40 degrees below zero. Do

LIQUID FUEL.
OIL Better Than Coal for many Pur-
poses.


Liquid fuel is coming into general
use among engineers, and there can be
little doubt that If road carriages are to
be propelled by steam. the only fuel
admissible will be some form Of Pc
troleum. says the National Recorder.
At a late meeting Of the Northeast
Coast institution in South Shields, Mr..
II. II. Wallis read paper giving the
results OF many experiments to ascer-
tain the calorific and evaporative value
OF various oils as fuel for steam raising,
In comparing coal and oil he shows
that the value of each varies greatly
with the quality and circumstances
under which burned, oil doing from
one and half to two and half times
the work of an equal weight of coal.
This Is accounted for, first, by the COM
plete combustion of oil without loss Of
heat in SCOT or smoke; second, because
there are no fires to clean with the
accompanying loss of heat and fall of
steam pressure, the pressure and
revolution Of the engines being main
tanned; third, because the boiler tubes
are always clean and in the best condi-
ton for the heat from gases passing
through them to the boiler, and fourth,
because the temperature Of the escap-
ing gases may be lower than is neces-
gary IN Orpnfa tho drnuUht necassa rv
for coal firing. There are no bars nor
thick fire for the air to force its way
through; the required amount of air
can be drawn through the furnace by
lower uptake temperature, and the
admission of air being under complete
control and the fuel burned in fine par
ticles in close contact with the oxygen
of the air, only very small excess Of
air is required. 1t occupies, more
over, only half the space needed for
coal

OLD TIMES IN HAWAII.
Reverence for Royalty Was Once =
Marked Characteristic.

Reverence for Royalty Was Once =
Marked Characteristic.
One of the most marked characters
tics of the ancient Hawaiian religion
was the extreme reverence for royalty
indicated, says the Philadelphia Press.
1t was a crime punishable with death
to pass through the kings shadow or
sit higher than his head. His person
was sacred and protected by strict sys-
tenn Of taboo" In the royal palace
the taboo" stick, with which the
king announced his communications,
is exhibited. 1t is wand with a carved
stone cap. If this stick was lowered on
the approach of courier he was COM
PEELED to withdraw Immediately and
was considered in deep disgrace.
The kings will was absolute; but the
majority of the Hawaiian monarchs
seem to have been Of kindly disposi-
ton and to have made no improper use
of their extreme power. 1t was due to
one of them that the taboo system was
abolished. This bore with grievous
weight upon the women. They were
forbidden the use of some of the most
common articles of diet, such as bananas
and certain kinds of fish, on pain of
death.
