Will people never learn that a
"coldn is an accident to be dreaded,
and that when it occurs treatment
should be promptly applied? There
is no knowing where the trouble
will end; and while complete recov-
cry is the rule, the exceptions are
terribly frequent, and thousands
upon thousands of fatal illnesses oc.
cur every year ushered in by a little
injueicious exposure and seemingly
triffing symptoms. Beyond this,
there are today countless invalids
who can trace their complaints to
"colds," which at the time of occur
ande gave no concern, and were
therefore neglected.-When troub-
led with cold use Chamberlain's

Ice Saline on Skates.

Sailing en- skates is very popular in
some localities. The skater crosses two
sticks, binds them and covers them
with canvas, making thewhole about six
feet by one or two in extent. He places
this sail against his back and runs his
arms through the sticks so as to hold
it. With a good wind he can go twenty
miles an hour over smooth ice, and he
can tack and beat against the wind,
just as in sailing boat. 1t is very ex-
citing, but it requires some daring to
start in, as the rapidity of the skater
is apt to terrify the man who has never
tried it. In skating with the wind ones
eyes water, but one can see quite we'll
enough to avoid holes. There would be
little chance OF being saved if you did
blow in. However. it is an easy thing
to blow across a three-foot hole in GO
ing at high rate of speed. 1t is very
exciting sport, and very little practices
is required-though it demands COM
paratively smooth ice for good skating.
If an obstruction is met your fan is
pretty hard.

The authorities of the town of Shell
burne. in Nova Scotia, have just placed
on exhibition the Oldest fire machine in
North America. 1t was built in Eng
land in the early part of the last CEN
tury, and became the property of the
Grown. When King George III. as
cended the throne OF England, it was
considered a fine machine, and one day
when the monarch's attention hap
pened to be called to Shelburne for
some reason or other he decided that
he would make some sort of a present
to the place, and as ? result presented
the town authorities with the machine
That was in 1895, little more than
q hundred years ago; and the people
Of Shelburne thought themselves very
fortunate indeed to become possessors
of so modern an aid in the fighting Of
flames. 1t was very handsomely paint
ed well built, of lasting material, and
for a long time it was the towns chief
protection from fire. As the years went
on, however, genius began to produce
fire fighting apparatus that left the
poor old machine far away in the rear
They are not quick to change nor to
forget the old loves in Nova Scotia.
but about half a century ago it was
decided that King Georges gift was a
trife too ancient, and that the safety
Of the townspeople demanded q more
modern fire machine, Like the famous
old engine down at Asbury Park, N j.,
which Founder Bradley bought for the
little ones of the place, the old fire

HARD FATE FOR
LUCKLESS DOGS.

At Point Breeze, just outside of the
limits of Philadelphia. at bend of the
Schuylkill river that is found by every
breath of winter, go dogs are being
trained to draw large sledges in The
KlondilSe. They will be shipped there
as early as possible next spring and it
is intended they shall form a line from
the gold fields to some point on the
coast not yet determined.
1t has been ascertained that the sup
ply of Esquimaux dogs. dogs obtain
able on the way to or in the Klondike
regions, is altogether insufficient to
meet the demand. This fact is what has
caused the curious spectacle that may
be seen any day at Point Breeze.
The dogs are all sorts, none more
than two years old, none less than
twenty inches high. Brawny dogs, too,
most of them, for weakling would be-
of small use in the Klondike, Every
one of them is as young and vigorous
as a dog can be, and each day they are
all becoming more and more accus-
toned to the lack of those things that
dogs generally get in civilization.
Their quarters, when the dogs are not
being driven, are some windowless
sheds-windowless because there are
only openings where the windows used
to be, and the cold and storm come in
as they please without effort being
made to stop them. This is for the
purpose of hardening the dogs, and APP
parently has succeeded. The animals
food consists largely of horsemeat, on
the theory that it should make them
tough, hardy, and strong, and accus-
tom them to the diet that is likely to
be theirs during their trips to and from
the gold fields.
The dogs are driven in teams of five
three wheelers and two leaders, So
called even if they are intended to
draw sledges. Just at present, how
ever, the sledge consists of a box
mounted on wheels, which the animals
draw over and upon a disused railway
track Perhaps they may encounter
something in their Klondike travels in
the way of rough travelling that Will
be more wearing on them than this
but is very doubtful.
1t is arduous work for Mr.. Wheatley,
the trainer, but he is confident that by
the time spring comes he will have
every dog thoroughly used to harm SIS,
to travelling under most unpleasant
conditions, and subsisting upon raw
meat, fish, or whatever he is so for
tunate as to be able to get in the way
of food. In this condition the dogs will
prove very valuable in the land where
they are going.
Just as soon as 1t is considered adj
visable-probably next Aprdl-'these
dogs will be placed in a three story
kennel car and shipped to Seattle.
From Seattle they will be transported
to whatever point from which the
Klondike is accessible that the owners
of the sledge line for which they are
being trained may decide upon.

machine when mustered out, became
the plaything of the boys Of Shell
burne,-and their sisters too, for that
matter.
1t continued to serve this purpose for
a number of years, but finally it was
dismantled the tub filled with earth
and placed in the front yard of a resi-
dent of Shelburne, where it served as a
flower garden. For very long time
the flowers grew thriftily in it during
the summer and the bulbs nestled close
to the old oaken surface during the
winter months. At last, however, relic
hunters discovered it, learned its his
tory, withdrew it from mother earth's
bosom, restored it to fully as good a
condition as it exhibited the day that
His Brittanic Majesty bestowed it as
an evidence of his good will upon the
people of Shelburne, and turned it over
to the officials Of the town to be placed
where everyone could see just how fire
was fought in Eye olden tyne"
"A glance at the ancient machine as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton gives the best opportunity for
comparison between the Old and new
methods of fighting fire that has been
offered in a long whi.a. It seems almost
impossible to believe that the horseless
fire engine that thunders through the
streets of Boston these days is really
the legitimate successor of the queer
machine with which they fought fire
up in Nova Scotia more than hundred
years ago.

THINGS 0LDAND NEW And INTERE6TN THE WORLD OVER.
A HOLE 10000
FEET IN DEPTH.

The remarkable task is now in pro-
cess of accomplishment of digging a
hole 10000 feet deep at West Elizabeth,
Pa, in which it is proposed to place a
mammoth boiler and to make steam in
it through the heat generated at that
depth by the earth.
AT present the depth of $3.50 feet has
been reached, and no obstruction has
been met which promises permanently
to retard progress of the experiment.
There is no hole in the world like this,
which will be, when the full depth is
attained, nearly two miles from that
part Of the earth on which the grass
grows. The shaft of the Red Jacket
mine out in Michigan is said to be
three miles in length, but that meas
urement by no means refers to a per-
pendicular shaft, but to one which af-
ter sinking far under ground, branches
off in horizontal fashion.
The work at West Elizabeth is the
joint idea Of Prof. William Hallock,
Adjunct Professor of Physics at the
Columbia University, N. Y, and the
Forest Oil Company, located at the
scene of the digging. The primal source
of the inspiration of the idea was the
fact that the company is looking for
new oil deposits. and in the search
bored down to the three thousand foot
level When that point had been
reached, Prof. Hallock heard of it, and
suggested the present scheme in the
interests Of science.
So
to serve a business purpose, for the
power thus obtained will be utilized
for various things at profit The
steam viii cost practically nothing, and
really the power is unlimited because
i tn supply is exhaustless. There is no
reason why the power cannot be util-
lied for the generation of electricity
and West Elizabeth made an electrical
supply center
| The drill used in this tremendous
task of boring is formed of three-quar-
| ter-inch pipes jointed Tt is estimated
| that ten feet day is about the max
imum progress. AS the drill pounds
against the rock and disintegrates it,
| the water which is forced downward
| through the hole made by the drill
trickles into the powder thus formed
and transforms it into paste. This is
sucked up through the hollow drill to
/ the surface, where it constantly spouts
out
! If it is found possible to penetrate to
! the level intended, the hole made by
the drill will be gradually enlarged I'M
| til it is possible to lower a boiler down
through this longest of all shafts The
problem on the lay mind is, how does
the company propose to secure the
operation Of that boiler by human
means? When the officials are ques-
toned they claim to have found the So
luton of the mystery, and say that
when the time comes they will demon
strate that their plan is entirely feas-
ible.
In the meantime the boring goes
steadily on. The experiment is being
watched with the keenest interest by
both scientific and commercial ex-
perts.

There has recently been placed in the
Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard
College the greatest X-ray macsi9e in
the world 1t possesses the astonish-
ing electric motive force of 100000
volts. This voltage, if utilized upon an
electric railway, would be sufficient to
keep 2,4O0 cars constantly in motion for
single day
This great machine--for great it is in
size as well as force-is operated under
the supervision of Professor Trow-
bridge. director of Jefferson physical
laboratory of Harvard, and one of the
best known of modern electricians.
Professor Trowbridge describes his
machine-shown in the accompanying
ill, 5tration with the Professor himself
standing beside it--as modification
of Plante's so-called rheostatic ma
chine, but it is far more practical and
more powerful.
Sixty plates of glass which form con-
densers are the really essential part of
the machine. These plates are charged
in multiple by ten thousand storage
cells and are discharged in series, Civ
ing intense disruptiye discharges over
four feet in length Just imagine a
stream of electric sparks four feet long,
swapping, cracking, buzzing, in that
same weird, uncanny fashion in which
the lightning sometimes plays for an in
slant along it's zig-zag track from cloud
to cloud. The length of the electric
spark is exactly proportional to the
voltage lengths over one inch.
To those who have ever seen an x
ray machine in operation, the size of
Professor Trowbridge's giant can best
be explained by advising them to com
