Golf Balls and Cables.

The use of gutta percha for subma-
rine cables and golf balls makes con-
slant drains on the supply Of this ma
terial. and substitutes are being con-
stantly sought after. In constructing
cable the gutta percha is employed to
insulate the conducting wire from the
exterior metal sheath, and, though late
" rubber has been employed for this
purpose on some shorter lines, yet for
long ocean lines the gutta percha is con-
sidered essential Recently the German
telegraph department has made thor
ough test of some cables into whose
construction an artificial gutta percha
enters. This material is the invention
of Adolf Gentzsch Of Vienna and is
mixture of india rubber and a palm
wax whose melting point is the same as
that of the rubber. The electrical prop
critics of the compound are equal to
those Of gutta percha, and the specifica-
tons of the contract with the German
government were more than satisfied In
actual tests. The cost of the artificial
gutta percha cables is about 80 per cent
less than the ordinary cable.-Harpsr's
Weekly.

Two Babies Equa1 One Person.

British law has just arrived at the
queer decision that one baby has no
existence, but that two babies together
make "a person"
A London cab driver sued a woman
before Judge Plowden, well known
stipendiary magistrate, for the small
sum of sixpence. He had driven her
and her baby and demanded the six
pence on the ground that the baby was
an extra person" within the meaning
Of the Hackney carriage act and must
be paid for as such.
"That is not So" said Judge Plow-
den. According to the hackney car
rage act, as l construe it, 1t takes two
children to make one person"
"Then in future l shall charge three
pence apiece" retorted the cabman.
mo, you can't do that" declared the
Judge. I'm the eyes of the law one
child has no existence in this matter,
but if there are two children they make
one person, and you can charge your
sixpence."

USING SALT WITH FOOD.

he without Good Reason.
This is no new question, but appar-
emily it is not settled yet. In an ex-
haustiye discussion of it in the Revue
Scientifque NJ. Rene Laufer concludes
that while II is absolutely necessary
TO the animal organism, enough OF IL
for our needs is contained naturally In
our ordinary articles of food, SO that
the addition of 1t as condiment is
sunerAuous. Tales of disease caused
by lack of salt he dismisses as I'M
trustworthy. Says Mr.. Laufer:
1.-THE desire for salt is certainly uni
yersal. 1t seems to have been USED
everywhere at all times and in all CIV
citations. The same salt seasons 10
day the miserable portion of the Su-
danese negro and the choice dishes OF
European tables. The need OF SAT- Is
not limited to man. Many animals
seek il with avidity. So generai pre-
objection. so imperious desire, should
not be regarded as a simple incident,
that is certain. But do they CORE
spond 10 an unavoidable necessity!
as il not curious that the chloride OF
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature to add to those con-
tanned in our food itself? Other min
eral substances play a much more I'M
portant part in the constitution OF 'hs
tissues-the salts of lime and the pn0s'
phate of soda, for instance. When we
use these by themselves 1t Is as meai-
cines.
"The taste for salt is not innate OF
instructive. 1t is acquired. The motn-
er's milk contains very little salt. COWS
milk has at least four times as mucn'
but even with this amount the aoui'
who should live on milk alone-say
three oNrts a day-would take more
chlorides than he needs.
NJ Iaufer discredits all tales or III
ness from the discontinuance or SAT-
The French soldiers who were said te
have suffered from the lack OF salt II
the siege Of Metz did so, he says,slmpiy
! because they required II " nlus 'N'
taste of the spoiled meat that they
were forced to eat. The story or the
Russian serfs, who are reported te
have fallen i'll when deprived OF sal
by their lords, bears on its face. M

shows that nowadays a diet without
salt is prescribed for this trouble anc
has been effective in curing 1t. In thu

ton of all the different Ills SAID u

Finally, he calculates the amount o.
salt necessary to carry on the proc
esses of organic animal life and tn
amount lost by exertion and comes u
the following conclusion:

The Judge Silenced.

In the famous trial Of the dean OF st
Asaph, Mr.. Erskine, the great Englisn
lawyer, put a question to the jury rel
alive to the meaning of their verdict
Mr.. Justice Butler objected to Its pro-
prIety. The counsel reiterated his ques'
t,on and demanded an answer. The
tudee again interposed his authority in
these emphatic words:
"Sit down, Mr.. Erskine. Know your
duty or shall be obliged to make you
know It"
Mr.. Erskine, with equal warmth, re-
plied: 81 know my duty as well as your
lordship knows your duty. l stand
here as the advocate Of fellow chi'
zen. and l will not sit down."
The Judge was silent, and the advo'
cate persisted in his questions.

Time TO StOD.

The residents of Tlalpam, Mexico,
complain that the public clock Of that
town is useless. Repairs are made
every week, but every week the clock
gets out of repair and can never be
kept in good condition. This is per-
haps for the good reason that the Tlal-
pam clock is probably the Oldest public
clock on the American continent. 1t
was installed at the cathedral Of that
city In the year 1857. In 1880 1t was
donated to the council of San Augustin
de las Clevas, now Nalpam, when it
was installed there and set in notion
Since that time it has never undergone
repairs until few weeks ago. This
clock therefore has told the time for
PAT years, and 1t is but natural that it
is tired and wants to be sent to mu-
scum.

Not 80 well known among the occi-

OF cultivated travel. Then he passed

I confessed that l was willing to be
