ODD PHENOMENA

Chemists had a rare chance in England
recently for a unique experiment. mine
which had been closed herme tically by an
explosion near the mouth OF tho shaft
was opened fifteen months after the acci-
dent. The air within the mine had been
COMPRISED enormously by the explosion
and for twenty-four hours after the open
ing was made It volleyed out with a great
noise.
During the time 81 was possible TO
gather enough OF II for thorough analy-
sis, and It was found that its compost
tion had been altered 40 completely by
the explosion and the consequent sealing
of the mine that the gas that escaped did
not contain any oxygen whatever. IL
consisted entirely of carbonlc acid gas,
iiredamp and nitrogen.
But although II was absolutely fatal TO
animal life, IL possessed wonderful pow
ers for preserving other organic life, as
was discovered when the mine was puri-
fed enough To permit investigation. All
the provisions which had been left behind
by the miners were found in thoroughly
good condhlou. The bread was dry but
perfectly sweet. and as edible as biscuit.
Bacon was found In as good and pure
condition as N IL had been freshly cut.
and, most curious OF ALL the water I'm the
water barrels was not only sweet and
good. but Il had not evaporated at all A
large quantity of corn meal had been
sent down just before the explosion TO be
mixed with the drinking water. This was
Just as good as II had been fifteen months
before the feed for the mules was per-
feet and the animals ate IL with relish.
The steel rails. the tools and all other
metal work I'm the mine were entirely
| free from rust Wire cables and ma
chinery were as bright as N they had
been polished. There was not a trace OF
mlldew on clo,.ing or harness. and tho
| woodwork showed no sign OF dotcriora-
| ton.

POPPING THE QUESTION.

Much has been written OF the queer
WAYS in which men have put the mo-
mentous question that Is TO gain or lose
them a wife, but Tor practical common
sense IL would be hard TO beat the pro-
posal made by a certain learned German
professor, who. after remaining bach
cior until long past middle age, fell head
over cars in love with a pretty fair
haired. bluo-eyed maiden many years his
junior.
Gretchen was always go surrounded By
a tribe OF small brothers and sisters. and
so busily engaged I'm household duties,
that there was but little leisure for ro-
nance In her life. and no time at all for
love-unaking. The poor professor, i'm spite
OF his learning. was terribly shy IN ferui-
nine society so that ~ seemed as though
hr would never nnd an opportunity to de-
clare hls passion. but one oay by lucky
chance. he came upon pretty Gretchen
sitting alone. for wonder and dili-
gently darning a much-mended stocking.
with huge basket OF the family hosiery
beside her.
The usual greetings were exchanged her
parents health dutifully, inquired after.
The weather discussed. and so on-then
thcrc was pause.
Suddenly a brilliant thought struck the
herr professor. he leaned forward. snd,
layine his biz hand on the liule nst dou-
bied up Inside the stocking. said tenderly
"You darn very beautifully. Fraulein
would you liKs to darn my stockings

And the Trauicin We are told. wisely
