Long Distance Heating.

There has been completed at Dres-
den, Germany, one Of the largest long
distance heating plants in Europe.
This is used on many public buildings
on the left bank of the River Elbe. in.
Guiding the theater, museum, castle,
royal kitchen, the custom house, etc.
The greatest distance from the central
station over which the heat is trans
mitted is three-quarters of a mile.
The total heat consumption per hour
is 5000, 900 heat units. The usual steam
pressure is two atmospheres. Ten Of
total of IA boilers are used and to
guard against accidents two main
lines of pipes have been provided. 1t is
stated that the loss of heat in trans
mission is from four to AZ per cent.
The largest pipes have a diameter Of
sH inches. The pipes are protected by
two layers of tin, the innerlayer being
perforated and the outer one covered
with silk. -

THE WORLDS PEARLS.
Most Of Them are found in the Wa
ters of Thursday Island, in the
South Pacific Ocean.

A pearling lugger is lying at an
Choir off Thursday island, Torres
strait, South Pacific ocean. This wide
expanse of dimpled water is the most
important pearl ifs hing territory in
the world. The floor of the ocean here
is inlaid with shells worth 81 900 ton,
and "full many gem of purest ray
serene" lies on that luxurious bed
that is worth $4,000 in the markets.
Thursday island lies between New
Guinea and Australia, in strait so
miles wide that is dotted with islands
and coral reefs. There is big island
for every day in the week, but Thurs.
day island guards the strait and has
fort, harbor and town, the lat
ter literally paved with pearl shells.
It is on the beds and reefs of coral that
pearl oyster thrives best, and there
it grows to an enormous size, some
having been found that measured
foot and a half across. More than
100000 worth of these shells are
shipped annually from Thursday is
land, and $50 such luggers are engaged
in pearl fishing and shell fishing.
The Japanese are the best divers
for pearls, but there are also many
South Sea islanders, Malays, Danes
and Swedes engaged in the work of
going under water and hunting for
gems. Each boat has an air-pumping
apparatus to supply the diver when
under water. With leaden shoes on
his feet and a glass front in his hel.
met, the diver walks about on the
ocean floor, fills his bag with shells
and signals to be drawn up. The busi-
ness is dangerous, for there are sharks
and poisonous fish. To the sharks the
men throw chunks of salt beef. Then
there is the squid or devil fish that has
the unpleas SAINT habit of clouding tho
water with an inky fluid so he can APP
proach his victim unseen and crush
him with his tentacles. The shells are
all opened by white men in the pres
ence of the managers, for no one knows
which shell may contain a costly gem.

through his own exertions, he will also
say "Nwa," the professor interpreting
this to mean that he is either grateful
to himself, or that the word when used
in that connection signifies good" or
"hurrah," or some similar expression
of gratified emotion.
The natives have word, "Nwe," "
(short e.) which means mother" and
they insist that the monkey "Nwa"
mean mother, too, but the professor
scouts this Interpretation. He did not
say so, but 1t is generally believed that
his pet chimpanzee, Jose, told him that
there was no truth in 1t. He admits,
however, that "Nwa"-good, thank
you, hurrah"-may be a derivative Of
"Nwa"- the sense that all
good things come from mother.
The professor expects to make anoth-
er trip to the French Congo In the
near future. He thinks he will have

THE KAISER SPEAKs.-An enterpris-

together the following collection Of the
Kaiser's aphorisms:
A law Is the expression Of the ac-
cumulated experience Of centuries.
Commerce has become passion, just
as much Of a passion as love.
Never forget that the amenities Of
life are the life Of the amenities.
A crown, whether or not 1t Is divine
right, is at any rate a divine RESPONSE

A good memory Is the second requis-
ite Of one who governs; good con-
science Is the first.
The navy is no longer the wooden
walls Of country; rather 1t is coun-
trys iron shield.
When a man ceases to remember his
honor, It is time that his fellow men
should cease to remember him.
The sword Of justice Is double-edged,
and when one edge grows duller than
its fellow the sword has lost its use

France Bears the Heaviest and Rus
sin the Lightest by the Latest Fig
ures.
With a population Of $1,000, 900 inhabi-
tants, Germany now furnishes an an
nual contingent Of $4,000 soldiers,
which must be reduced to 413,0O0 after
deducting the exempt from service, ac-
cording to the latest figures given In an
article in the Courier des Etats Unis.
A considerable share Of these 413,OO0
men are Immediately incorporated eith-
er in the landsturm or in the recruit
ing reserve, however, so that the num-
ber of men really incorporated in the
regular army is only 100000 men. But
this number is sufficient to bring up
the present effective force to 495,OOO
The men serve with the colors only the
required time to gain instruction. The
length of service in the line Is two years
for the infantry, three years IN the
cavalry and one year in the train.
In Russia, where compulsory service
has been in existence for the last 30
years, the men are obliged to serve five
years in the regular army, IL years IN
the reserve and five years in the Opolt-
chenie, which is the same as the reserve
Of the French territorial army. With
a population of 132,000,0OO Russia fur
nishes annually $4,000 conscripts, Of
whom about 100000 are good for SER
vice. Under these circumstances. the
government can we'll afford to be gener-
Gus in the matter of exemptions. Their
number amounts to 100000, so that the
real number of men in the regular SER
vice was 3OS,OOO in 1901 and $4,000 in
1902.
In Austria the annual contingent is
O0OO, but the exemptions reduce 1t to
AT 900. The length of the regular SER
vice is two and a half years.
In Italy, where the annual contingent
is 315,OOO only 2O5,O0O are found to be
good for service, which varies from two
and a half to three years.

The First Submarine Boar

The first actual Submarine boat
was that of Fulton, the American
engineer, which piled under the
Seine near the Invaldes, Paris, and
also at Brest and Havre in 1901.
Fulton was o son of Irish immi-
grants and born in Pennsylvania in
1765. His boat, the Nautilus, arose
out Of his experiments with a tor
pedo meant to explode warships,
was shaped like q cigar and was over
tWenty-one feet long. Napoleon,
with ell his practical power and

had good cause to regret his blum
der. Fulton died in 1915, and the
torpedo and submarine boat were
almost forgotten for about half a
century. n.

Deafness.

deafness is very much more
general than is supposed" is the
statement Of famous physician.
Many persons who think they have
perfect hearing are living under u
delusion. In most cases, however,
the ordinary deafness Of people is
the result of accumulations Of wax
in the ear. Those who are troubled
in this way should never attempt to
remove the wax themselves. They
should go to a physician. Ninety
Dine out of a hundred cases of
chronic deafness are caused by ca
tarrh of the nose and may be cured
by treatment of that disease.
"People should be warned against
putting anything into their ears,
such as spoons, ear scoops, tooth
picks, matches or finger nails. The
mechanism Of the ear is very deli
cate and is easily disarranged, and
the use of such instruments by IN
experienced persons is productive of
the most serious results"
