Conveys Sounds OF Bombardment
over a Hundred Miles.
A curious instance OF the transmits.
sion OF sound through the earth was
noticed by two French engineers at
Kof. On July 90 they happened to be
in an excavation in a volcano In the
Dyr Mountains which has been extinct
from time immemorial.
The altitude of the excavation was
about 3,400 feet above the sea level.
Suddenly they heard the sounds of
heavy cannonading, the reports fol-
lowing at regular intervals. Returning
to Kef day or two later. they read
n the papers that in the course OF
some naval maneuvers the French
feet on the day and at the hour at
which they had heard the reports had
been engaged In bombarding Blzerta.
The sound. therefore, must have been
transmitted through the earth from
B!zerta to Dyr, distance of some
what over a hundred miles.

The king has Just bought the Hotel
Bellevue, which adjoins the royal pal
ace, for 100000 francs. This will
be atted up as Cleo's royal residence.
The dividing wall between the palace
and the former hotel will be partly de-
molished to allow the king to pass un-
observed to his lady love. 1t seems
that with all his avowed contempt for
public feeling Leopold was afraid to
bring the dancer into the royal resi-
dence owned by the people. This little
real estate transaction OF Leopold's
has been adduced by the court-wise as
a pretty convincing argument that tho
king is seriously considering a matri-
monial alliance with the ballet dancer.
Another proof Of the kings growing
infatuation has been noted in his gift
to Cleo of a diamond necklace cost

ShOddy Boots.

Boots and shoes in England have
been subject to very considerable fall
in prices of late years. Partly this Is
owing to the use Of machinery, partly
to the employment of lads where men
used to do the work, partly to the use
of what was formerly waste material
and partly to sheer dodgery and trick
cry. Mems lace boots are now to be
bought for 2s. lid. They are made of
leather, too, and to look at them you
might think it genuine enough.
The truth Is. however, the uppers are
made of what are known as center
splits" AMI the solcS are an artificial
compound Of leather waste. The 'cen
ter splits are very in%eni, us forms of
shoddy. Coed, honest skins are cum
ningly split into three thcknesses. The
center sheet is soft and spongy and
has no natural grain upon it. But this
defect in its appearance is supplied by
