ANTIQUE OAK THAT IS OLD.
Results with Some Pieces Buried
Under Chicago 7,OUO Years Ago.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
White oak logs that have been buried under
the site OF Chicago for 1000 years have Just
been put to use. Prof. Ossian Guthrie. the
Chicago geologist. who has studied the local
strata and helped to unearth the remnants OF
some OF these prehistoric trees. has lust COM
into possession of two toilet brushes. made
from this ancient oak. that have surprised the
manufacturer OF imitation antique" woods
by the wonderful polish and color of which
the genuine ANTIQUE oak is capable. No
precious woods that have ever been i'm ported
into Chicago are so marvellously beautiful as
these specimens with which Prof. Guthrie has
lust been presented.
Most Of these prehistoric logs have been
resurrected from the 7.0OO-year-old graves
to lie divided IN among the museums and
universities OF the country. Walnut. willow.
beach and most of the modern native woods
have been dug w under these glacial deposits
and a~lluvium of seventy centuries. but the
white oak. the same tree evidently that flour
ishes in the parks to-day. has been preserved
best of all.
Some frightful cyclone appears to have bent
and laid low the trees at tlrst. The iron fibre
is bent and twisted in nearly all Of them al
one particular spot in the trunk, and 1t IL evil
dent that this was the cause that first buried
the giant forests unde- the sands and allu-
Vium. Some OF these trunks have been fol-
lowed by Prof. Guthrie in the excavations for
streets and houses for many feet. One trunk.
in Sheffield avenue. was unearthed for seventy
feet.
Evidently this forest was the first growth
! after the glacial period. 1t lies close to the
glacial clay, under the alluvial drift. at a gem
oral depth Of fourteen feet. The cyclone APP
p]nrently laid the forest low. and the sand and
drlf. we're blown up from the lake and covered

about the trunk. and kept il from decayinR,
OF iatc years. however. the surface sewers
have drained the water away from tbs trunks
aud the bark and outer layers. OF wood have
gone g. decay. The iron fibre of the inner wood
is still intact in most Of them, however. The
wood from which Prof. Guthries souvenirs are
made was dug up near the corner OF Calumet
avenue and Thirty ninth street. where many
Of the trunks are being chopped away in seWe r
CXcavating.
No imitation antique wood has ever attained
the singular beauty of this old oak. IL ig
dark. almost Il greenish black. the result OF
hundreds Of years Jiscoloration by the sur
rounding water. The polish which 1t has at.
taineL Is unlike anything ever seen by wood
importers. The fibre OF the wood was found
almost rs tough as fine wire In working 1t up.
The usual process OF 'antiIuing'' is TO
steam and rub the dark color into the wood
greenish tint. This tint in Prof. Guthrie's
specimens has never been attained in the imi-
tation antique. however.

A Steamship Bake.

Collisions at sea, from the awful ca
tastrophe of II. NJ. S. Victoria down
ward, might have been averted and
valuable lives saved, says a Croatan
engineer named Czevetkovitch, If the
colliding steamers had been fitted with
his patent marine brake.
The idea of the thing is simplicity It.
self. The brake consists of a large
curved plate Of steel attached to the
stern Of the steamer, which can be low
cred at will into the water. The screw
of a steamship, it should be explained,
when working ahead, causes a stream
Of water of terrific force to flow back
in the direction from which the ship
has come, and by lowering the plate Of
steel into this stream the power is OBJ
tanned necessary to check the ships
way and bring it. to a standstill indie
pendently Of the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw
is Of greater force when the ship is
steaming fast, the brake would work
equally well whether the speed were
twenty knots or ten knots.
The Clotilde, a steamer of 1000 tons,
when steaming at a speed of ten knots,
was brought to an absolute standstill
within thirty seconds, during which
she travelled so slowly that only twenty
feet were traversed after the brake
was applied. This result was obtained
in spite Of the fact that the engines
were working full speed ahead the
whole time.

DR.. Sloan's Eminent is known by horsemen
the world over. The fact that It can be used in
any way that any liniment can be used makes
1t Invaluable for strains, sprains, soreness in
muscles and similar purposes. The fact fur
thermore, that this remedy is remarkable in
it's penetrating qualities is greatly In its favor
Where Sloan's Eminent is used the necessity
Of excessive rubbing is done away with, as it
penetrates quickly to the seat of the trouble
and thus relieves pain without the necessity Of
undue friction, which is liable to make swollen
or infamed joints tender muscles and tendons
still worse. Dr. Sloan's Eminent can be given
with great advantage internally in cases Of
collie, cramp etc. This famous remedy will
also be found as valuable for the use of man,
either internally OF externally.
A copy of his Treatise on the Horse which Is
replete with much useful and valuable informa-
ton in regard to the care of this noble animal,
will be sent to any person writing Dr. Sloan,
Boston, Mass, for it.

One Of the promised wonders OF the
Paris exposition Of 1900 Is 20 be O dress
made Of spiders web. The Idea Is by
no means novel, FOR Reaumur and
other men Of science long ago thought
that the delicate threads spun by the
common or garden spider might be
utilized for Industrial purposes, and
so far back as in 1909 some small
artlcles-such as socks and mlttens-
Of this material were submitted 10 the
Academy des Sciences. But there was
an unsurmountable difficulty In domes-
tlcatlng the varieties Of the insect
found or In collecting their product in
a wild state. Father Cambone, how
ever, a Catholic missionary IN NADIA
gasear, has discovered a big spider,
known to the Hoyas as a halabe, which
can be induced, under the influence Of
chloroform, TO yield some 1000 yards
Of thread per month, and this thread
Is so strong as TO bear a weight Of over
half a pound, and so elastic as TO
stretch more than twelve per cent. Of
It's length. In the school of military
ballooning cords made from the new
material have been used with much
success for the netting Of balloons,
combining, as they do, the maximum
Of strength and elasticity with the
minimum Of weight.

Prices Paid for Manuscripts.

The highest price ever paid for apiece
of manuscript was $4,000 for Homer's
Had, written ON vellum, probably In
the eighth century. 1t is now in the
British Museum. A manuscript bible
which was presented to the Emperor
Charlemagne upon the occasion of his
coronation in the year 800 was sold at
auction some years ago for $500.
That is also in the British Museum.
The original manuscript Of SCOTS
LADY of the Lake" brought $6,450 at
auction. The autobiography Of Lord
Nelson in his own handwriting, as pre-
pared for the press, brought $3.50.
The manuscript of Keats "Endymion"
was once sold for SO, 475, and the manu-
script of Scott's "Old Mortality" for 49,
100 Sir John Thorrell paid $1,000 for
a manuscript bible Of the seventh cen
fury, and Lord Crawford paid $3.50
for a handsomely Illuminated manu-
script of the New Testament
