SMUGGLING BY AUTOMOBILE.

Automobiles are being used to snug
gle goods across the frontiers of Eu-
rope. The trick is becoming more
common as the popularity of the mo-
tor cars increases on the continent.
The adaptability of the motor car to
the purposes of the land smuggler has
tempted many to run gauntlet with
all kinds Of dutiable goods, and now
that few cases have come to light
the customs officials are devoting un-
usual attention to those folks who
show preference for travelling in
their cars under cover of darkness.
On the French frontier recently sus-
picions were aroused by the frequent
night excursions over the Berlin side
by particular motor car. An am
buscade was laid, and as a challenge
only resulted in the speed of the car
being increased, obstacles were placed
in its way. The occupants of the car
decamped, and when the vehicle was
searched $275 worth of Moravian to-
bacco was seized. Both the car and
its contents were confiscat Brook

DEGRADATION of a Traitor.

The military tailor had cut from
the uniform all it's buttons, stripes
and other decorations. Now he was
sewing these things loosely on again
with a single thread.
"A painful duty, this" he shouted,
for it was noisy in the shop. The er.
rand boy, as he filed beautiful
sword blade in two, filled the place
with harsh, casping sound.
What on earth are you doing?" the
reporter asked.
Il am preparing to degrade a trai'
tor" said the tailor. In the degra-
dation of military traitors the tailor
always plays an important, though
unseen, part.
"You know how the degradation is
done? The traitor, before his regi-
ment, to the muff1ed rumbling OF
drums, is called bad names by mis-
chief, and then his buttons and stripes
and epaulettes are torn off and his
sword is snapped in two.
If I didn't file the sword blade
loosen the buttons and stripes the cere-
mony would have no dignity. In pull.
ing off the decorations, and in snap
ping the sword too much effort would
be required Indeed, in the case Of an
unusually well-sewed button the de.
graded man might be dragged by II

An epidemic of volcanic activity and
earthquake disturbance is encircling
the globe. Each day brings new re-
ports, from still other regions, of trem-
bling earth and smoking mountains.
IN India $4,000 have perished in the
Adeous devastation of earthquake;

life. Mont Pelee, Stromboli and
shasta are uneasy.
A most interesting succession of
phenomena has occurred, but whether
closely or remotely connected does not
thus far appear. Early in the year an
enormous spot area on the sun was
observed. On Feb. this eruptive
s:'ot was at is maximum. At that
Tlme the sun spot covered approx
Hately 3,S00,Oo0,000 square miles, or
about nineteen times the superficial
area of the earth. In size it ranked

the general attitude toward those
who are making out a case for the in
fuence of solar eruptions.
While some earthquakes are the
accompaniment OF volcanic activity,
seismic disturbances, as a rule, are
found in districts remote from vol
canoes. While volcanic action is not
yet satisfactorily understood. seismic
tremors are also little more than half
explained. 1t has been very peril
nently stated that IAN earthquake
always means a yielding to stress.
whatever may have been the source of
this Stress Two causes of earth
quake have been recognized: % the
downthrows, which have often been
observed to be accompanied by earth
quakes, and (2) volcanic action. A
much greater part of the earthquakes
still require explanation
In his laboratory in the Isle of
Wight, Prof. Milne, one of the world
authorities on earthquakes. found his
selsmograph had recorded. like a
carelessly written signature. the seis-
mic shock in India. although it was
many thousand miles away Prof
Milne explained the catastrophe, by
which 600 miles was laid waste and
thousands of lives destroyed. in this
way:
1t took place, he said, on the south
ern side of the Himalayas, and was
due to the continuous growth Of these
mountains. The Himalayas are form
ed of stratified materials, which were
once beneath the sea. and these mate
rials are being crumpled up in the
same way as one might make folds
in tablecover by rubbing a hand
along it's surface.
In this process the strata are bert
upward, and when overbending takes
place there is fracture This frac-
ture is accompanied by jar or series
Of jars and vibrations, which consti-
tute the earthquake.

The two brothers had been apart for

his brother sheepishly.
"You know always was quixotio

"but can you guess why I came home
this year?
"Well, old chap, we're all glad
enough to see you; but can't say I
know your reason for coming home"
The other drew a photograph from
his pocket.

the Professor, something about the
magnitude Of this fracture, as it is
called. 1t has extended many miles,
with the result that the work of the
rigonometrical survey will require
rectification. This was the case after
the great earthquake In Assam in
1897, when it was found as the result
of resurveys that about 10000 square
miles had been displaced laterally as
much as twenty or thirty feet. In
Japan, after the great earthquake OF
1891, the survivors refused to pay
taxes on the ground which had been
left to them. saying that it had not

BUILD ROADS
OF THOROUGH SCI.
: ENTiFlc CONSTRUCTION.
Infinite Pains Taken by industrious
Little Creatures in the Formation
of Their Homes-Work Under: Or
= ders, With Good Discipline.

The greatest road builders in <he
world are species of red ants found
in South America. In building a road
they carry minute particles of clay,
with which they line all the roads
as well as the galleries and passages
OF their nests till they look as smooth
as If cemented by master mason.
Some idea of their number can be
formed when it is remembered that
the whole of this road to their tree,
perhaps nearly half a mile long, is
densely thronged with multitude 60
ing out empty and coming back with
their umbrellalike burdens, while
thousands upon thousands swarm in
the doomed tree.
That this vast army is under the best
discipline can be proved by watching
them for only few moments. The
drivers are constantly running up and
down giving their orders to the work
ers, which they do by touching heads
for a moment. The individual so
touched, will stop, turn back, hurry
forward, or show in some such way
that he is following some command.
But better proof of the discipline is
found in the fact that when the army
meets with. an obstacle, such as a log
or a large stone, there is a jam Of
ants on both sides and they run about
in dismay and disorder. Instantly the
drivers hurry up, showing the great
est excitement and run over, around
and under the impediment to find the
best way out of the difficulty. When
they have decided they lead off the
line Of march in the proper direction.
But until they take this step the work
ers make no attempt to pass the OBJ
stacle.
When a selection of level piece of
ground has been made a perpendicu-
lar shaft some eight inches in diane
ter and six or seven feet deep is
formed. This is for drainage and
ventilation, never for ingress or
egress. If the ground slopes the
shaft is horizontal, the mouth, OF
course, being at the bottom of the
hill. From the perpendicular shaft,
commencing at the bottom, radiate
galleries, like the spokes of a wheel
set at a slight angle. At the end of
each series of galleries spokes a cir
cular gallery is made, forming, as it
were, a set of wheels, one above the
other. In, or rather above, these cir
cular galleries the nests or dwelling
places are constructed. These are
oval in shape and about a foot long.
The narrow end of the oval is down
ward and opens into the roof of the
gallery, and as the spokes always
slope slightly toward the shaft no
tropical rains, no matter how heavy,
can enter the homes and breeding
places Of the ants.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for tho
Decoration Of Homes.

The styles Of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau.
tiful or artistic But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or OF kalsomine, or OF Ala
bastine-whatever the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as well as permanency and
beauty OF color. Alabastine, wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and tho
frescoed designs in the large cathe-
drals and churches, have a perma-
nency and an art Of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. It does not rub oil, and it
has the soft effect of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay sheet or canvas on
the floor, have your man come in with
pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall. That is all there
Is to 1t, and the room Is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.
