AUSTRALIAN TEA DRlNKERS.
Drink the Brew All Day Long and al
Strength That Would Seem
to BE Poisonous.

In the interior of Australia all the
men drink tea. They drink it all
day long, and in quantities and at
q strength that would seem to be
poisonous. On Sunday morning the
teamaker starts with a clean pot and
clean record. The pot is hung over
the fire with q sufi1ciency of water
in it for the days brew, and when
this has been boiled he pours into it
enough Of the fragrant herb to pro-
duce deep, coffee-colored liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes
terday's tea leaves, he repeats the
process; on Tuesday da capo and on
Wednesday da capo, and so on
through the week. Toward the close
of it the great pot is filed with an
acrid mash of tea leaves, out of
which the liquid is squeezed by the
pressure of a tin cup.
By this time the tea is of the color
of rusty iron, incredibly bitter and
disagreeable to the uneducated pal
ate. The native calls it "real good
old post and rails" the simile being
obviously drawn from a stiff and
dangerous jump, and regards it as
having been brought to perfection.

MINING AT GREAT DEPTHS.
copper SHAFT I'm Lake Superior Re-
gton Extends Nearly a Mile
Under Ground.

In no other district in the world
are active mining operations carried
on at such depth as in the Lake su.
perior copper region, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The No. 5 shaft of
the Tamarack mine is the deepest
In the world, having attained a verti-
Gle depth of 1910 feet, nearly a mile.
Not far behind it is the Red Jacket
shaft of the Calumet & Hecla, which
is down 1920 feet. Another deep
shaft of the Calumet & Hecla is the
No 4 of the Calumet branch of the
property. This is down $500 feet
on an incline of mile and a half.
In view of the marvellous efficiency
OF the modern hosting engine no
considerations of a mechanical ma
ture need limit the prospective depth
of shafts.
The greatest obstacle to deep min
ing is the proportionate increase in
temperature. In the Lake Superior
copper district State Geologist Lake
has ascertained that the temperature
in the mine varies one degree for
every 40 feet. The temperature in
the deepest shafts at the Tamarack
and Calumet & Hecla varies between
IS and 80 degrees, and in view of
these conditions it is evident that
considerable depths can yet be at
tanned in this section.

HATS MADE OF RICE STRAW.
New Industry About to BE Estab-
lfshed by Japanese in the
Southern States.

According to Col. S. F. B. Morse, gen.
eral traffic manager Of the Southern
Pacific railroad, the japanese colony
at Port Lavaca will establish plant
for the manufacture of mating and
hats from rice straw, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. The Japan
csc are the pioneer rice growers of the
world, and cultivate the staple on a
more scientific basis than the Ameri-
can farmer. In Japan every product
of the rice crop is utilized to some pur-
pose, while in the United States the
planter relies entirely upon the rice
proper for his home.
Col. Morse, twill soon begin the manu-
facture of Japanese mating and the
finest of hats from rice straw, and it is
only a question of time till our own
rice planters in Texas and Louisiana
will take up this industry, thus making
the south the center of supply for mat
ting and straw hats of the finest tex
ture and manufacture. The best mat
tings in the world are made in Japan,
while the high grades of the rice straw
hats are known the world over. There
are several kinds of grass growing
along the gulf, so the Japanese tell me,
that can be utilized for making mat
ting Of good grade. They tell me it
is identical with that used in Japan
for this purpose, and there is no reason
why this should not become 2 nayino
industry in Louisiana and Texas"

ARTIFICIAL AIR.
ducing Oxygen from Solid
Substance.

The progress Of invention in SUBJ
marine navigation has stimulated ef-
forts to produce oxygen by cheaper
and easier methods. If oxygen, the
vital element in afr, can be supplied as
wanted, the length Of time that men
can remain under water may be indefi-
nitely prolonged. A process of making
oxygen, invented by George F. Jaubert,
a French scientist, promises to answer
the requirement. says Science. His
object was to find solid substance
which would produce oxygen as CAL
cium carbide produces acetylene gas.
He selected for the purpose peroxide
Of sodium, or Of potassium, which can
be cheaply manufactured by electro
chemical means. It is called "oxy-
fthe," and is made in little cubes and
pellets, soma only haN an inch in diam
ete4 When decoampesed with water it
gives off oxygen. Two or three ounces
OF this substance supply enough oxy-
gen to enable q diver to remain under
water for an hour. BY suitable appa-
Eatus the carbonr oxide produced BY
respiration is withdrawn into the oxy-
gen generator, and fresh oxygen takes
its place. #.s.

STOLEN CAMERA LENSES.
New Branch of Trade That Comes to
the PawnbrOker in Which
There Is Great Profit.

'The sale of camera lenses is a com.
paratively new branch of the pawn-
brokers' trade" said dealer in phc-
tographic supplies, according to the
New York Times, "but large number
from that source come to the trade to
be refitted with shutters and flanQes.
A good lens costs anywhere from $50
to $3.50, and is as easy to raise money
on as good watch. But you will no.
tice that lenses you see in pawnbrok-
ers' windows are without fanges.
That is sure sign they have been
stolen. Very few sneak thieves know
enough to lift out the shutters and
all, but they can get the lens and make
away with it by simple turn of the
wrist. If a man who owned a camera
were to take his naked lens to pawn
shop and say he owned it he would not
be believed, and would have to be con-
tent with the extremely small loan
usually made upon a stolen lens.
Pawnbrokers are willing to take
chances with them, because the risk
of detection is almost nil and the
profits greater when they make sale.
Amateur photographers who know
their business can pick up good many
bargains in the New York pawnshops."
