Another False Ere Alarm.

The clang! clang! Of the fire bell at
$50 a. m. last Saturday routed a num-
ber of people out OF bed trifle before
their regular getting up time, and a
number Of firemen were at the hose
house in a very few seconds, and when
informed that A. G. Pierce's house, on
Jackson street, was afire they were soon
speeding up Main street with hose
cart. The hose was attached to the
plug at corner OF Main and Fifth streets,
but by that time the fire lads were in
formed that 1t was a false alarm. The
SCOT In the hue had caught fire and a
stream Of sparks was rolling out and
some person jumped to the conclusion
that the house was afre and run down
town and gave the alarm.
This 10 the fourth or fifth time that
the hose company has been called out
recently by false alarms.

Danger In a Close Shave.

It is not generally known among
men that close shave is apt to bring
on cold. BARRIERS, however, are ac-
quainted with this fact and it is
rather on account of it than through
any desire to bring their patrons back
soon again that they do not, unless
ordered to, administer close shaves. a
close shave a learned barber said
yesterday, removes not only the hair,
but a portion Of the skin as well. It
removes, in fact, "a thin. layer Of skin
all over the line of the beard. No
blood is visible to the naked eye, but
under the microscope a close-shaven
face reveals thousand widely opened
pores, each exuding a tiny drop Of
blood. You know how the sudden re-
moval of heavy clothing tends to bring
on cold. How much more, then, does a
close shave, which is nothing more
nor less than a removal Of part Of the
skin clothing, tend, with the exposure
that it creates Of pores and nerve tips,
to induce colds, sore throat and even
pneumonia 2 Philadelphia Record.

a New Alloy.

Consul Albert writes from Bruins
wick in regard to magnalium, a new
alloy Of aluminium and magnesium,
with percentage Of from 2 to 30 per
cent Of the latter metal. Magnalium,
it seems, is free from the bad quaH-
ties OF aluminium, while it retains it's
light weight, frmness and tenacity. It
is especially applicable in the automo-
bile industry, in 1ectro-technics, aer-
sonautics and dentistry. It can be
worked with the file, lathe and plan
ing machine; it is also admirable as a
solder, and its pliability adapts It as
a border for lenses and eyeglasses.

STILL AN UNKNOWN LAND

Interior of South America Not Explored
by Whites.
Large areas of the South American
continent have never yet been trodden
by the foot of civilized man. It will
surprise many to learn that there are
larger tracts unexplored in that re-
gion than in darkest Africa, yet such
is the fact. A large majority Of the
cities along the coasts of South AM
erica, known to every pupil in the pub
lie school, were settled in the Column
bian era Civilization is in fact much
older there than in North America.
Yet for nearly 800 years there has been
not much organized attempt to ex-
plore the interior. The first expedi-
ton sent out by South American
government was in 1875. Many OF
these countries are without exact maps
Of their own territory. Most of the
maps in use have been made by ex-
plorers from Europe or the United
States. The greater part of the i'm
mense tract Of land in the middle of
the continent from Venezuela to Chill
has not yet reached the toughest pio-
neer state of settlement. "A consider
able part of Colombia is still wholly
unknown. The several Atlantic states,
even as far north as Uruguay, have
many blank sections on their maps.
The Guianas, except for a strip along
the coast, are practically unknown.
The condition of affairs in Brazil is
scarcely better. The Brazilian govern
ment has no department corresponding
to our geographical or coast and geo..
detic surveys. The only exploring done
has been carried on by the States.
There are large tracts in the northern
part Of Brazil which have never been
crossed, as far as is known, by any.
