That CutIcura Soap. Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement Is made regarding them that Is not justified by the strongest evi- dence.

Antarctic Secrets

A good deal or secrecy has been OBJ
served as to just what OF scientific
value was learned by the recent voy-
age OF the British ship Discovery into
the antarctic regions. The geograph-
ical results of the exploration are well
known, but the scientific results will
take long time to work out. II Is
said. however, that n secret has been
brought back which will shake the
foundations OF many n scientific belief.
Certain fossils have been found which
prove beyond doubt that once-no one
yet can tell how long ago-mammals,
and perhaps even men, lived upon the
land where now are utter desolation
and life destroying ice and snow. These
treasures Were packed into tin boxes
and brought 10 London under special
escort 10 the British museum, where
they will await inquiry by specialists
In speaking OF the matter Sir Clements
Markham was most guarded. Still he
admitted that fossils must In any case
mean much. They may upset all the
theories as TO the polar system and tho
geographical origin and age OF the
world.

the work to great advantage in all
ways. European work has always been
done by hand, as 1t still is, and the
lapidaries there are only just waking
up to the knowledge that artificial DOW
er can be applied. Besides cutting
real gems, the machinery employed
here turns out great quantities OF ar
tihciai ones, which now rule the mar
kets of the world. They are SO bril-
Hantly cut and polished that only ex-
perts can distinguish them from the
genuine article. Rock crystal, the pur

only be worked TO advantage with the

no profit in the business, besides turn

for about $4,000.
The first edition of Shakespeare's
works, dated 1923, was issued at the
modest sum of guinea. A set OF the

VENETIAN GLASS.

Marco Pole Gave the First Great I'm
petus 10 Its Manufactures.
1t was Marco Polo who gave the first
great impetus to the glass industry at
Venice. The great traveller encouraged
his cOuntrymen to manufacture and to
export large quantities or glass to the
orient TO satisfy the growing demand
there. IL Is difficult to determine when
the first glass factories We're establish
cd In Venice, says the Chicago News.
Some historians have attempted to
prove that IL was as early as the fifth
century. The most ancient existing
document relating TO this industry Is
an article In treaty concluded In 1887
between Bohemond, prince OF Antioch.
and Jaeobo Contarlnl. doge of Venice.
This time stained parchment refers to
the purchase OF broken giass-a most
necessary ingredient for the production
or good glass-by the Venetian mer-
chants In Syria. In 1888 the great
council Of the republic prohibited the
establishment OF glass furnaces In the
city proper, as they were frequent
causes OF serious fires, and finally rele-
gated the glassblowers to the island OF
Murano Q292), where the industry has
forrished down TO the present day.
Murano's glass manufacturers pos
sessed many political and other privi-
leges. Their daughters could even mar
ry into the families of the proud Vene-
tian patricians. In the seventeenth cen
fury the glassblowers OF Venice were
recognized as the best In Europe. This
fact caused the Duke of Buckingham
TO employ Venetian workmen in the
glass mandatory which he opened In
1910 for the purpose OF making imita-
lions OF the fine Venetian drinking
glasses.

says: Il passed over 10 Murano. IA
