Sufferers from rheumatism who be-

of metal ring would be surprised per-
haps to hear that they are keeping
alive an old superstition that owed its
origin to one Of the ceremonies per-
formed on Good Friday. The ceremo-

chapel, accompanied only by his great
almoner. crawled on his knees to the

rings were afterward distributed to
people who were afflicted with rheu-

Confessor, which was kept in West

such ills.-London Chronicle.

The Kidnapping.

The hairspring of watch is a strip
Of the finest steel about 91a inches long
and OF inch wide and .0027 inch thick.
1t is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered. The process of tempering
these springs was long held as a secret
by the few fortunate ones possessing
it, and even now it is not generally
known. Their manufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip is
gagged to the .020 of an inch, but no
measuring instrument has yet been de-
vised capable of fine enough gauging
to determine beforehand by the size Of
the strip what the strength Of the fin
ished spring will be. A twenty-thou-
sandth part of an inch difference In the
thickness of the strip makes differ

THE CARNAHUBA PALM.
1t II Called the Most Marvellous Tree
In the World.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous tree
in the world grows in Brazil. 1t is the
carnahuba palm and can be employed
FOR many useful purposes. Its roots
produce the same medicinal effect as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong,
ligh fibers, which acquire a beautiful
luster and serve also for joists, rafters
and other building materials as well as
for stakes for fences.
From parts Of the tree wines and
vinegar are made. 1t yields also a sac
charine substance as well as a starch
resembling sage. Its fruit is used for
feeding cattle. The pulp has an agree
able taste, and the nut, which is ole
aginous and emulsive, is sometimes
used as a substitute for coffee OF the
wood of the stem musical instruments,
water tubes and pumps are made. The
pith is an excellent substitute for cork.
From the stem white liquid similar
to the milk Of the cocoanut and -four
resembling maizena, may be extracted.
OF the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. A considerable
quantity of this straw is shipped to Eu-
rope, and part of it returns to Brazil
manufactured into hats. The straw Is
also used for matching houses. More
over, salt is extracted from it and like
wise an alkali used in the manufacture
of common soap.

ARCTIC COAL.
Starting the Mining Industry Amid
Spitzbergen Ice and Snow.

The NorWegians are turning their a.
tention to the large and promising coal
fields on the southwest coast of Spitz-
bergen. For several years past their
fishermen. while in these coastal wa
tiers, Nave observed the outcrops of
coal. Their stories aroused interest at
home and the coal fields were examined
as a possible source of profit. Several
companies have been formed to carry
on coal mining in these new fields and
there is much confidence in Norway
that the new Arctic enterprise will be
profitable.
Consul Nelson writes from Bergen
that the coal of Spitzbergen is finely
adapted to the manufacture of gas.
The fuel burns with high flame and
is extremely combustible. Although
Spitzbergen is in the Arctic regions,
coal may be mined there to consider
able advantage. In the first place it
has been found that no large capital
is required to start the work, as is the
case in civilized countries. There is
no costly ground to buy, no difficult
foundation to build in the way of
shafts, and as the land is not inhab-
tied there are no property consider
atoms to Interfere. Transportation
from the mines to the ships will be in
expensive, the situation of the mines
favoring the towage by rope of rail-
road cars loaded at the mines.
Considerable work has already been
done. The mining engineers on the
ground give their opinion that the cost
of the coal will not exceed $2.40 per
ton. They say that with a force of
so workmen. $4,000 tons may be taken
out annually. The coal can be trans
ported only in summer, but the works
may be kept going the year round.
In Sweden some of the best STEEL
making iron ores are being mined in
large quantities, many miles north of
the Arctic circle. The only railroad
now existing in the Arctic region car
ries the ore from these far northern
mines to the Baltic; another Scandina
Wan Arctic enterprise that will give
busy aspect to the southern shores of
the Spitzbergen archipelago is likely
soon to be well developed and as pros
porous as iron mining in Arctic

Pneumonia,

We wonder if the fact that patients
and their friends ignore the con-
tag1ousness OF pneumonia is often que
to professional negligence. An exag-
gerated conception of the contagious
ness OF tuberculosis is held by the lay
world, but pneumonia is, Of course, FAR
more contagious. And patients ana
profession alike have not realized the
new fact that the mortality OF pneu-
monia is in some cities and parts or the
country higher than that Of tubercu-
losis. DR.. Reynolds Of Chicago re-
turns to this lesson and emphasizes
the necessity Of the following meas
ures:
Pneumonia is highly contagious
disease, the cause of which is mlco
organism in the sputa Of those suffer-
Ing from the malady and contracted
by 1nhallng this germ. Therefore the
same care should be taken to collect
and destroy the sputa that is taken in
pulmonary tuberculosis or in dlph-,
liberia or influenza.
During the illness the greatest care
should be taken to prevent soiling bed
| clothing, carpets or furniture with
sputa. and after the illness the pa
tents room should be thoroughly
cleaned and ventilated
The fact that the disease is most
prevalent in the winter season, when
people are most crowded together and
live much OF the time in badly venti-
lated apartments, makes obvious the
necessity of thorough ventilation OF
houses, offices, factories, theatres,
churches, passenger cars and other
public places in order that the air
which must be breathed may be kept
clean and free from infectious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be
afraid of a patient who has pneu-
monia. influenza or tuberculosis, but
to be afraid Of lack of cleanliness about
him during his illness or failure to en-
force prophylactic meaures, and of
close. badly ventilated apartments dur
ing the season when these diseases
most prevail.
Since pneumonia is most fatal at the
extremes of life-the young and the
old-special care should be taken to
guard children and old persons against
exposure to the infection of those al
ready suffering with the disease and
against cold, privation and exposure to
the weather, which are potent, predis-
posing causes.-American Medicine.
