Many people have never even heard
of such thing, and it Is not to be
wondered at. for these mats are ex-
ceedingly rare and it is said by those
who know that only three of these
beautiful curiositics exist in the whole
world. The one we now write about is
the largest one made. II measures S
by 4 feet and though made in small
hill state in the north of India. has an
almost Crock design for its border. 1t

Sea water and Colds.

The deluson that sea water does not
give cold is accountable for much harm.
A chill may be caught by wctting from
sea water as quickly as by wetting
from any other water There is Il
certain stimulation to the skin from
salt no doubt, but that does not pre-
vent chills from indiscriminatc ex-
posture to wetting by salt water, and
chills are fertile causes of illness Chill

At the level of the sea the pressure
of the atmosphere on the piston of an
engine is about fifteen pounds to the
square inch, but decreases at higher
attitudes. AS this atmospheric pres
euro must be overcome by the steam
pressure before any work can be done,
it is evident that at the diminished air
pressure of high attitudes more work
can be obtained from given pressure
of steam than at the sea level or, in
other words, an equally effective pres
sure OF steam can be obtained with
the expenditure of less fuel. The diff
ference however. is not great enough
to be of any practical Importance.
