An Ancient Custom Observed d.

The ancient custom of presenting a fitch Of bacon to each of those mar fied couples who could swear that "in a twelgemonth and a day they had re- pented not in thought any way of their married state was observed, with all the old ceremonial, at the small village of Dunmow, in Essex. England. The ceremony was held inside mar. quee erected in field. There were two couples for trial by the jury of six maidens and six bachelors. The jury returned verdict in favor of the claimants, who were accordingly awarded, amid cheers, a fitch of bacon, gaily decked with ribbons and rosettes. After the trial the couple were chaired and carried in processions, and the at- tendant fun and feasting were main- taiDed until late hour.

As originally constructed it was about six feel square, and tapered slightly at both ends The material was phosphor bronze. more than half an inch thick

When completed it was sent to Milwaukee and towed out into tie lake about twelve miles, where there was over 200 feet of water, and was sent down for test. The manu- facturer was so confident of the strength of the bell that he wanted to go down in it. He is glad now that he didn't When the bell reached the depth of about 100 feet strong timbers attached to it came to the surface in a splintered condition. Suspecting ar accident, the bell was hauled up and found to be crushed into shapeless mass. The inch-thiek plate-glass buIPs=eyes were shattered.

How Glass Affects Bacteria.

The extreme delicacy of many sci entife processes is indicated by the report of Dr. Martin Picker, Ger man investigator, that bacteria are af- feeted favorably, or otherwise, by the character of the glass containing the water in which they are suspended. Marked differences in the behavior of cholera germs were noted, according to the kind of glass composing the vessels used. The degree of alkalinity imparted by the glass to the water is believed to be an important factor in these experiments.

 THE KIPU.
Bunch of Strings Used by the Ancients
 to Keep Accounts.


 Dr. Max Uhle, a distinuished Ger years engaged in archaeological ex- plorations in Peru. He now ret ns to that country under the auspices of the American Exploration society, for the plrr ose of clearing some Of the unsolyed problems Of the ancient civ ilization of the Incas and to complete collection for the museum of the University of California. He had made similar collection for the Uni- yersity of Pennsylvania Dr. Uhle proposes to remain two years in Peru to complete his work Among other important discoveries of Dr. Uhle is the kipn, q collection of knotted strings of different colors, which were used by the people of the ancient ciyiliza- tions of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for the purpose oa keeping accounts. They had no written language and no sys- tenn of figures. Their arithmetic con- sisted solely of little knotted strings. Among the primitive villages of the Andes the descendants of the Incas depend upon the kipu for keeping ae- counts, and pr. Uhle was So fortunate as to discover them in the hands of Indian herdsmen, who used them so skillfully that they are able to make a record of every animal. every bushei of feed and article of property th&t is intrusted to their care The colors of the different stiing8 represent differ i ent articles. such as barley, corn. sheep, rams, ewes, lambs, horses, etc, while the knots by their size and dis tanee from each other, express hun dfeds. tens and units, in such 3 man. Ter as to accurately include the deci- mals. For example, one of the kipus obtained by Dr. Uhle from shepherd near Lake Titaeaea showed that he had delivered 3S7 sheep. 285 rams, 121 lambs 1 year old, and 99 still younger; the number~of bushels of barley that had been used. the number of sheep killed and furnished to the kitchen of the owner of the flock, and the num- Der eaten by the shepherds, the num- Der that died of disease, the number killed by wild animals and by acei~ dent, as completely and as accurately as if it had all been set down by i double-entry bookkeeping.

PREcAorloN IN POWDER MILLS
roeisetless Clothing for Employes and
 Trousers Must Not Be Turned Up.

Foelxetless Clothing for Employees and
 Trousers Must Not Be Turned Up.
 The danger buildings of a powder mill are themselves so constructed that not nail head or iron ln any shape is exposed, and the roofs are made slight, so as to give easy vent to ex- plosions. The garments Of the work CTS are pocketless, so that they cannot carry knives or matches, or, indeed, anything, and are made of nen-indam- mable material. Even the buttons must not be made of metal. No one IS allowed to go about with trousers turned up at the bottom, because grit Is collected in that wa, and the mer- est hard speck of foreign matter in a charge of gunpowder is fraught with danger. The entrances to danger buildings are protected by boards placed edgewise, so that when the door Is open nothing in the shape of dirt can work in. This also serves as a check to any one who might thought lessly enter without having first re- moved his boots and put on the over alls that are kept just inside the door Doors are made to ope1 outward SO as to enable them to escape the more readily, and on the approach of thun- derstorm the works are stopped and the operatives repair to the different Watchhouses scattered over the 300 acres covered by these extensive works. Every week the machinery is inspected and the reports as tc it's condition are printed and flied. In the case of d dan ger building needing to be repaired 1t must first be washed out before hammer or other iron tool is admitted to it. When artificial light is required, as when working at night or in dull weather. the lights are kept outside. being placed on the window lodges. Tn the case of the works magazine, which is surrounded with water, no light of any kind is ever permitted near it. These are only q few of the preeau- tions against accidents at the works They are sufficient, however, to show how lively must be the sense of dan- ger Men in powder houses usually have an arranged plan of escape in their minds and at the least unex- peeted noise have not hesitated to plunge into the canal.

Skating on Water.

According to Prof. J Joly of Trinity College, Dublin, a skater really gIides about on narrow finn of water, con- tinuallg forming under the skate, and resuming the solid form when relieved of pressure. He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of Che skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which Is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to liquefy a thin line of ice, and this gives the skate its @bite." When the ice is very cold, the pressure is sometimes inadequate to reduce the melting point sufficient ly, and then, as all skaters know. 1t is difficult to make the skate hite For very cold ice Prof. Joly recommends hollow ground" skates, because the effective pressure increases with tho thinness of the edge

FILLING UP SIBERIA.
By This Method Russia Cuts Down Hor
 Great Surplus.

By This Method Russia Cuts Down Hor
 Great Surplus.
 Since the commencement of the Trans=Siberian railway immigration to Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader Be tween 1882 and 1885 only 650000 per sons entered the country, viz 509o9 every year. In 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 203 900; in 1898 they reached 205,000. The immigra- ton is conducted by q committee of officials, whose members portion out the land through which the new rail- way runs. Up to the present moment 15, ,000, GOO acres have been occupied. and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But. notWithstand- ing, the Russian government allows thousands of immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason of the government s apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get rid of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There is no civilizing influence with these fresh immigrants. The majority are beg gars with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatfcs already in Siberia. The filling up of Siberia by the pres ent-day process is nothing less than the useless sacrifice of thousands of hapless beings.
 Famine in British East Africa.
 The famine in British East Africa is serious one The protectorate off, cials have been put to sore straits to provide food for their subordinates, and in some cases the garrisoas= have been fed very largely on the game which the officers could shoot The distress and disatfection among the na- lives is taking some very unpleasant forms. Recent travellers over the Uganda railway report that in places the line has been torn up by the na- tives, thus causing great delay both in the passenger traffic and in the transport of stores. It is probable that the natives in some way connect the present scarcity with the making of the railway, and it must not be over- looked that the employment of ten or twelve thousand Indian coolies on the of the line may have ma terially affected the local supplies of food stuffs. The unusually low Nile which is reported from Egypt points to a severe drought in the Upper Nile regions and in the Abyssinian high lands.

An Odd Law.

To punish a man for nonpayment Of
a certain tax by forbiddlng him to en-
ter restaurant is a rather singular act
of government, yet In the canton OF
Bern such n law Is In effect. Every
man In Switzerland must serve In the
Swiss army IL he be physically capable,
and II he be not physically capable he
must pay what Is called the military
exemption tax. In the canton OF Bern
q rigidly enforced law is in effect which
prohibits a person who has not paid
this tax from entering any Of the vari-
Gus beer gardens and saloons until the
tax is paid.
This law is called the "wirtshausver-
bot" The government says that II a
man has money to spend for coffee,
beer or liquors he must also have
money enough with which to pay his
debt to the state At intervals one may
read In the local official papers the list
Of names Of those who must stay away
from the gardens. The law cannot
prot ibit a person from obtaining liq-
uor through the Intervention or help OF
Q friend, but the privilege of dropping
into q favorite resort and hobn0bblng
with friends-a custom which Is dear
to every Swiss-must be foregone.
The law is effective for several rea-
sons. The military exemption tax Is
small-it is generally paid-and the or
binary peasant does not like to see his
name publicly printed Chicago Rec
