An Optical IIIuaIon.

Box Tunnel in England is not only
perfectly straight. but the railway
track is perfectly fiat also. When you
approach the yawning mouth Of the
tunnel all is black and dismal looking;
but Immediately you enter the dark
portal you see the other end of the tun-
mel. some three miles away, and SO
near does 1t appear. that you can ap-
parently emerge at the other end in a
few steps. But as You proceed the
other end gradually recedes. and by
the time you are half way through 1t is
quite small. The illusion is very curl.

Rubber Tires Better Than Iron.

In his experiments with various We
hicles, NJ. Michelin has found that iron
tires require greater motive power
than either solid rubber or pneumatic.
An electric automobile running at five
per cent. greater speed with pneu-
matte tires took eighteen per cent. less
power than when fitted with solid rub
ber tires; and in stopping, the solid
tires required an increase of fourteen
per cent in braking power.

Adjusting Glass Globes,

In fitting on globes it is common
error to screw them on to the gas
fixture as tightly as possible. This is
grave error. for If the globe has not
room to expand it will surely break
when the gas is lighted and the glass
becomes hot. Many mysterious break
ages are due to too tight screws.

Where Wax Is Mined.

In several parts of the world resin
Gus substance called oZocerite and bear.
Ing considerable resemblance to bees
wax is found, usually in connection
with rock salt and coal There are de
posts in Austria Russia. Roumania,
Egypt. Algeria Canada and Mexico,
but ozocerite has, so far. not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except i'll the dis
trict of Roryslav, in Austrian Galicia,
and on an island on the west coast of
the Caspian Sea.
In mining this mineral wax shafts
are sunk until a bed or nest" of ozo-
cerlte is struck Then connecting gal
leries are driven. There is considerable
danger and many lives have been lost
in consequence of the sudden forcing
up of the soft wax into the shafts by
the enormous pressure to which it is
subjected 1t is used largely for man.

purposes.
