Sneezed His Eye Out.

One of the most peculiar incidents
ever recorded occurred the other day
to Charles Doran, a resident of q Gin
c~innati suburb. Doran was nursing
a severe cold, and, meeting a friend
at the railway station, he accepted a
proffered pinch Of snuff. The mem
brane of his nasal passage was very
delicate and sensitive, and he sneezed
violently. So severe vas the paroxy-
ism that the inferior oblique muscle
of the left eye was ruptured, and, as
he continued to sneeze, the exertion
forced the eye completely out
Of the socket. A physician sue.
ceeded in replacing the eye in the
socket.
Doran said, in describing the ensa.
ton, that the pain was not intense
when the eye was forced out. He fas.
as though something was burstifs in
his head, but did not realize t6at had
happened until he saw with It's right
eye that his left optic was dangling on
his cheek. The pain OF repairing the
injury was much more Severe than the
injury itself.

dent incidental to the analysis OF
ores. It has been sug gested that soma
OF them might be coined, but the
supply of them is too uncer-
tain. That was the difficulty
with platinum, which the Rus
sian Government minted in the
first half of the present century. Iri-
dunn is ntili~to some extent for maxi
ing instruments OF delicacy, which
must have the property of not cor
roding. It is obtained from 'iridos-
min,' a natural alloy of iridium, osmi-
um, rhodium, platinum and ruthcn-
ium. This extraordinary mixture of
rare metals is white. Much Of it is
found in washing for gold in the beach
sands of Oregon. It resists tue action
of all single acids. Its only important
use is for tipping gold pens. For this
purpose the grains of it, which are
fiat like gold dust, are picked out with
magnifying glasses. At the minis it
makes a good deal of trouble, the DIFF
ficulty being found in separating it
from gold bullion. American Journal

The Norwegian Moose Elk.

The moose elk-as big game as Eu-
rope can s%upply-is gradually getting
extinct In Norway. 1t has been for
some time protected by law, but by a
law through which a keen sportsman
has been able to drive, If not q coach
and six, at least the necessary stalk
ing horse and equipment. Its venison
certainly is not the excuse for it's
slaughter, and still less its beauty. II
is the only ugly member of a s~ingularly
graceful family. If it should ULTIMATE
ly disappear from Northe4.z ErIoe
cannot lay the blame eithetIghladies
or epicures. Its enormorAn nose, in
deed, is said to be gooa eating, and tt
Norwegians seem to like Its tongue, btt
there its attractions end. The law for
it's protection in Norway IS curiosly
simple. More than n moose elk is
not allowed to be killed on one property
in one year. Unfortunately (for the
moose) nothing is said as to the size OF
the property. The NorwegiaIs are
keen sportsmen and a 1aw-abiding PEG
pie. They don't poach much, but they
eyade the law. An owner of a prop
erty with moose on 1t sub-divides the
land into small shares, and then has
a battue, killing off a whole family Of
elks.-London Daily News.

"HeeLta PSF Of Soup.

Five bowls of soup is not too much
for some of the poor little girls who
are fed gratuitously at some of the
industrial schools on the East and West
Sides. When the little boys and girls
who have been hidden to the feast
have satisfied themselves, they take
what is left over in the bowls and
empty it into buckets, to be taken
home to the starving mothers at
home.
The mothers are glad to get these
buckets of soup, even though it has
been collected from q hundred bowls
that have been used by the children at
school. The little girls take turns in
collecting these heeltaps of soup. The
privilege is a blessed one to starving
families, and the children soon learn,
in tine bitter school of poverty, how
tc'make the most of any unconsidered
trihe that may come in their way.
It might be thought that IN extra
gallon of soup could be made for the
sake of the mother we're it not known
that the supply of soup to equal the
demand would be an impossibility.
The officials make a great quantity of
soups of various kinds. There is
bean soup, pea soup. vegetable soup
and plain soup, and it is all enjoyed.
The most popular kind seems to be
bean soup. There are great quanti-
ties of this soup consumed, and the
children always seem to be hungry
for it. The soup collected in the
buckets is necessarily mixed, but the
poor women at home do not mind
that. They warm it up. when they
have a fire, and enjoy it all the more,
perhaps, because it is unlike any soup
made by the ordinary cook.--New
York Journal.

Where the Duck Found Gold,

News comes from Ainslie, Lewis
County, Wash, that Mrs. N. Hender-
son last week found several pieces
''punkin seed" gold in the craw of a
duck she had purchased of a local
butcher, says the San Francisco Call.
The pieces were larger than a fiat
seed and looked as though they had
been in the ducks storage department
for some time.
Male members of the Henderson
family began an immediate investiga-
ton. The found the duck had been
secured from a Winlock firm, which in
turn had purchased it of settlers livips
in the Cowlitz Valley, east of VIM
lock.
Near their ranch a range of hills
rises up from the valley. 1t was de-
cided to do some prospecting among
these hills and an expedition was
OrSdulASu. 13aGo iuo1 Wo0A oAo PAoS
pectors' search was rewarded by the
finding Of several quartz seams near
together 1t a point about v miles
from Winlock. Charles johnson and
n Of Mrs. Henderson's sons are re.
ported to have made the lucky discov-
cry. They staked out claims and then
returned home for provisions and
tools with which to do development
work.
Since tLen snow has covered the
hills. but if it does not get too deep a
shaft will be sunk this winter. The
quartz found appears to be rich in
gold, and assays are now being made.
From the way the seams run it is be
lieYed that they will form into one
wide vein q short distance below the
surface.
The find has caused considerable ex'
citement ct Winlock. Several duckt
and geese 10 the valley have subse
auently been killed to prove the Hen
derson story from Ainsiie. In one
of these coarse gold, identical in char
acter with that first found, was dis
covered.

Structure of Coral Reefs.

In order to prove, or disprove, the
accuracy of the generally accepted
subsistence, or "Darwinian," theory of
coral formations, it has been considered
necessary to know more thoroughly
one element in the construction Of
three peculiar formations-namely, the
thickness of the coral-made rock. With
a grant OF 81, 500 made by the Royal
Society of London, Professor Lollas
was commissioned to execute borings
in the coral reefs of the Funi-Futi
atoll of the South Pacific. News has
recently been received that the bor-
ings have proved unsuccessful, quick.

venting more than a superficial pene-
tration into the rock. 1t is now urged
that a second effort be nude in the

tiles are afforded for such operations,
and where the general conditions for
success appear much more favorable.

Electrical Rat-Killing,

Electrical Kat-kllllng.
A Kansas City electrical supply
shop was bothered by rats until one
of the employees hit upon a device to
rid the place of the pests. The Kan
sas City Star says that at this electro
cal establishment it takes 35, 900 ohms
of electricity and at least three men
to despatch a rat. This is the manner
Of their death: When o cellar rat is
caught by the paws in a steel trap the
trap is brought up stairs. carefully
carried by the chain at arms length,
for q cellar rat will fight and it's bite
is unwholeeome. The electrician then
comes forward with q magnetic bell
machine, a sort of young dynamo,
with a resistance of IS, 900 ohms. To
the machine are attached two long in
sulated wires.
The rat is laid on an iron plate. A
man takes one wire and applies
the uncovered end to the iron
plate. The man who is looking after
the rat takes the other wire and pokes
the rat with the bare end of it. The
man with the machine grinds indus
trously until the bell rings, which it
does when q resistance of IS, 900 ohms
is reached. The exasperated rat bites
at the wire, and quicker than you can
say "Jack Robinson" he is dead. But
his taking off has amounted to almost
a function.
They also have an electrical method
of catching rats in the electrician's
cellar. A large square of plated iron
is placed on the floor, and above it
another plate, not so large, and
separated from the other, al
the distance of an inch or SO
10y porcelain insulators. 10
each plate is attached q wire connect

When rat steps on the leger plate
the current has no effect on Aim; but
the instant he puts his paws on the
upper plate to reach for the cheese the
full force of the electricity reaches
every part OF his sinewy body, and,
contracting it suddenly shoots him
into the air in somersaults. The othe,
rats; observing this, think he is jump
ing for joy and hasten to the feast.
One after the other they are shot into
the air and fall to the floor stunned.
when they are easily captured and
killed. Thus it is that science lends
itself to ever SO humble an occupation

Meta,s More Precious Than Gold.

We commonly think of gold as the
most valuable OF metals, because 1t is
the most precious of metals that are
nroduced in sufficient quantity to be
in common use. There are, however,
several rare metals that are much more
valuable than gold. Gallium, for ex-
ample, is quoted in the market at
AZ 600 an ounce avoirdupois. Traces
of II occur In some zlnc-ores, tons OF
which must be worked over in order
10 obtain a trifing quantity. Gallium
is a very remarkable substance. At
the ordinary summer temperature
Of eigh'y-six degrees Fair: it
becomes liquid like mercury.
The latter becomes solid at thirty
eight degrees below zero. Most
costly Of all metals save only gallium
is cermsnium, which is quoted at
al. % per ounce. Rhodium is worth
s112. so an ounce; ruthenium. $50 an
ounce; osmium, $26 an ounce; and
palladium, $24 an ounce. The last is
about equal in value to gold. These
metals are OF no great commercial an-
~nortance. Most OF them are mere
