Have your teeth filed without pain at

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-10-28

1t is not easy to tell when an ele-
phant has got toothache, but it is best
to keep out of his way when you do
know it. A London surgeon, who had
been for many years in India, says he
would sooner risk railway accident
than meet an elephant with tooth
ache.
1t appears that q toothache affects
an elephant in more severe manner
than it does any other animal. Ele-
plants have very sensitive nerves, and
touch of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain down
an elephant and draw out the offend
ing tooth, the brute is certain to be af-
fectionate to you afterward. Here is
an instance:
An elephant in Bengal, India, be-
came affected with toothache, but the
keepers managed to secure it while q
dentist drew a decayed tooth-the
cause of the trouble. After time the
elephant seemed to understand that
the dentist was trying to do something
for his pain, and he gave every evil
dence of appreciating the attention.
When the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like young lamb.

Worlds Biggest Fountain.

The greatest fountain in the world
was turned on recently at Indianapolis,
Ind, and permitted to flow for an hour.
1t is one of the cascades now in the
course of construction at the base of
the Soldiers Monument. The flow of
water measures fully up to the con-
tract, which calls for 1000 gallons a
minute at each of the two cascades as
a regular thing, with capacity under
high pressure, however, that is much
greater. The combined capacity of
the world-famous fountains at Versail-
les, hitherto the largest in the world,
is so, 900 gallons an hour. They would
make but feeble streams in comparison
with the monument cascades, and yet
the cost of running the French foun-
tains is so great that the water is only
turned on on gala days.

A contributor to the New York
Evening Post finds himself able, in
reviewing the manners of contempo-
rary American men, to aver that the
rising generation of boys is a great
deal better bred than the lot that pre-
ceded them. For purposes of com
parison he classifies Americans whose
behavior has come under his per-
sonal observation into gentlemen of
the old school, surviving examples of
which were still extant in his youth.
gentlemen of a school which began
about 1875, and the youths of the
present period. He relates number
of affecting characteristics of the
school of 1875, and praises its latter
day successors as being more civil,
more deferential to their elders, and
better balanced, as shown in their
being much less apt to fall over one
another in Offering attentions to casual
and unidentified Englishmen who may
have struggled over to this country.
In this new school of better Ameri-
cans this observer sees "the influence
of their mothers-those women we
knew as girls, and who were so far
ahead of their brothers and husbands
in refinement and culture. To have
seen these girls marry and bring up
their sons SO well has been, he says,
a satisfaction and a compensation for
amy delusions.

using it as basis for much appre-
ciated beverage. The use of peanuts
in candy-making is we'll known.
The annual product in the United
States varies from 1000, 900 to 5,O00,-
600 bushels, and practically all of this
immense quantity is used here.
Three varieties are grown in the
United States; the white, the red and
the Spanish. The white peanut has
two kernels only in each pod, and
this is also true of the Spanish nut,
which is considerably smaller, how
ever, than the white variety and has
much milder flavor. The third
variety, the red peanuts, often has as
many as three or four kernels in each
shell and is larger than either of the
other varieties.

A recent statistical estimate places
the number of newspapers which are
annually printed at the enormous
figure of 1000, 900, 900. A mathema-
tician, apparently with considerable
time at his disposal, in order to give a
more comprehensive idea of this num-
Der, has calculated that a surface of
10000 square kilometres could be
covered with these papers. The paper
alone weighs 781, ,240 tons. In case
one machine was forced to print these
millions at the rate of one o second
three hundred and thirty three years
would be necessary. Placed one upon
another the papers would reach to the
height of eighty thousand metres.
Assuming that a person devotes five
minutes a day to reading his paper the
time used by the entire population of
the world in reading newspapers each
year amounts to one hundred thousand
years.

A Queer Cow.

Henry E. Niese, manager of the
Sugar Trusts Jersey City factory, lives
for the summer in Morristown, N. j.
He is there rearing COW which lately
began developing queer tendencies.
1t drinks its own milk.
When the farm maid calls at the
stable to milk the COW she finds that
the milk has been drunk by the pro-
ducer herself. The COW is growing
fat on her own milk.
Some of the farmers of Morristown
are anxious to experiment with this
queer COW. Says one of them: "Why,
what's the use Of feeding that COW at
all? She thriyes so well on her own
milk that she need not get any out
side food at all. 1t will be case of
a COW growing fat on herself without
any outside assistance. Trenton IN,

Various instances are on record
where metals, while not showing any
appreciable wear, have literally fallen
to pieces, and that without any as
signed cause. On one occasion a steel
rail, after twenty-five years continu-
GUS service, on the Great Northern
Railway, in England, actually disin-
tegrated under the wheels of passing
train. So complete was the breaking
up thaS scientists thought it worthy of
investigation, during which it was de-
termined that the metal had become
exhausted and had broken down, just
as an overstrained animal might be ex-
pected to do. This has led to further
inquiry and scientists are satisfied that
metals do become tired out. Fine
cracks otter appear in steel rails and it
has been supposed that they are caused
by the continuous conclusion of rail-
way wheels. This, however, seems to
be contradicted by the examination of
newly-made rails, in which similar fine
lines occur. The idea that metals be-
come weary, while not altogether new
one, is to an extent plausible one,
and under the careful scrutiny of scien-
tifc societies will probably be satisfac-
torily explained and settled.

The economic uses of teak and
bamboo have been of late very extern
sively commented on. Teak is said to
be the most valuable wood for ship
builders. Although porous, it is
strong and lasting. 1t is very light
and hard, but is easily worked. A
popularity Of this timber is that it
contains an enormous amount of oil,
and therefore is not injurious to iron
when used in close contact. Decay
comes on very slowly even where
there is a great deal of dampness.
Bamboo has much wider range of
usefulness, as it figures in almost all
of the affairs of life from culinary
purposes to the worship of the Chinese
deity. Leaves, stalk, roots, tender
shoots, indeed, every part of it, has
its uses, and the Chinese are SO ac-
customed to rely upon it for almost
all of the emergencies of life that
when they move to new country
they are at loss for a substance to
supply its place.

To Save Your Bocts.

A new wrinkle may be learned from
an English soldier who was noted for
keeping his boots in better condition
and making them last longer than any
of his brother officers. When asked
what he did to them to prevent the
leather from cracking and keeping it
soft and smooth, his reply was, "Mut-
ton bone" When an explanation was
demanded he said: "It is nothing, 1
assure you. My man asks the cook
for knuckle bone, which he cleans
and then bakes. After rubbing the
leather with cream, he then frotles
them as hard as he can with the bone.
Usually my boots last me three years.

How Ten is AduIterated,

Adulterated tea, which is being sold
all over the European continent, is
described in German medical paper.
This preparation has long been known
in Russia, where it is sold under the
name of "rogogeski." 1t is made in
the following way: The manufacturers
of this adulterate buy in the tea houses
the residue from the teapots-leaves
which have already been used-and
mix these leaves, while still moist,
with other leaves and very little
genuine tea. The mixture is heated
with an addition of extract of caramel
and campeche wood, in order to i'm
prove the color and the taste. The
weight is also increased by the addi-
ton of sand or soil, and just before
being dried, the leaves are rolled be-
tween the hands. The adulteration
is so difficult to recognize that O
chemical test is necessary to prove it.
If tea prepared in this way is dipped
into cold saturated solution of cop
per, the blue color of this solution
will not be changed, not even if the
adulterated tea is allowed to remain
in it for three or four months. If the
tea is fresh and has not previously
been soaked, the solution will turn
green within short time.

Birds and Reptiles Related.

Fossil remains have been found Of
birds with teeth and long bony tails.
and also Of reptiles with wings; great
monsters they must have been, veri.
table flying dragons.
In 1861, in the lithographic states
of Solenhofen, Bavaria, fossil feath.
er was found which was the subject of
considerable discussion among natu.
ralists. Again, in 1862, curious
skeleton was disinterred from the
same place, in which most of the bones
exhibited the marks of true bird, but
the skeleton had a most remarkable
tail, containing twenty distinct bones.
From each of these bones proceeded a
pair of well-developed feathers, simi-
lar to the single feather which had
been previously found. Here was an
animal which could be called q bird
like reptile or lizardlike bird, with
equal propriety. Its twenty caudal
segments or vertebr@ were bar to
its entrance into every existing fam
lily of birds, while il was equally out
OF place among reptiles. On account
of its feathers this curious link in the
chain between reptiles and birds was
called arch@opteryx. 1t was about
as large as dove.
The discovery of this remarkable
fossil, possessing characteristics so de-
cidedly both reptilian and avian, has
thrown much light on the subject of
gradual development of higher from
lower forms.-Vick's Magazine.
