Great Lama's Wonderful Palace.

without doubt one of the greatest
buildings in the world is in the strange
and remote part of the globe which Is
often alluded to as the Forbidden
Land" said Thomas Dawson of Eng
land to the Washington Post. This is
the palace of the great lama, in
Shosa, the capital of Tibet. This dig
nitary's castle is 900 feet long and
437 feet in height. In stately grandeur
and massiveness it is one of the most
imposing structures reared by man.
The building contains 5000 rooms,
many of them being of great size. 1t
is painted white, except central por-
tion near the top, which includes the
apartments of the chief inmate. 1t is
reported on good authority that the
roofs are covered with plates of solid
gold that present dazzling effulgence
under the rays of the sun. Except for
it's vastness, however. there is moth
ing about the palace of any special in
terest, except the private apartments
of the grand lama"

Skill Of old-Time Surgeon.

OF the skill in surgery of DR.. Val
entine Mott, it is recorded that in 1928
he performed what is universally al
lowed to be the most difficult feat ever
attempted in surgery. A clergyman
was afflicted with an enormous tumor
in the neck, in which were imbedded
and twisted many of the great AFTER
les. In removing the tumor it was
necessary to take out entire one of the
collar bones, to lay bare the mem
brane inclosing the lungs, to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tu-
NOR and imbedded in it, to apply As
ligatures and remove an immense
mass of diseased matter. All this was
done without the aid of chloroform.
The patient survived the operation
and many years afterward continued
to discharge the duties of his profess
sion.

II a Doc Bites You.

In all my experience with dogs
have not only never seen mad dog"
but have never seen a dog owner
and by that l mean a man who has
had experience in keeping dogs-who
has seen one. If, then, rabies is so
exceedingly scarce hydrophobia be-
comes really an impossibility, and the
fear of it should be dismissed with
out thought.
A person may get dog bitten, but in
the language of the New York tough,
Forget it," If it is bad bite it may
twitch later on and you may begin
worrying so it is good plan to get
rid of the twitching or throbbing in
order to forget. have been bitten
so often that think no more of it than
mosquito bite, and this is what do.
If it is on the hand I put it under the
faucet and wash thoroughly, with the
object of cleaning the wound and pre-
venting Inflammation from any dirt
or foreign substance.
While doing this some one is getting
the bicarbonate of soda and some
clean rags or lint. With water, a
cream paste of the soda is made suf.
ficient to plaster the wound we'll, then
putting some on a rag it is applied to

Earthquake Shocks in PROPULSION.

After the great Assam earthquake
which occurred on June IL, 1897, the
earth tremor went on continuously
for several days. 1t was estimated
that there were 200 shocks day for
few days after June IL, and, though
these had diminished to twenty or
thirty a day by the middle of July, the
people were accustomed for at least
two years after the earthquake to a
daily shock. These after-shocks were
the residual effects of the first big dis
turbance and had nothing dangerous

Historically, the most attractive city
of Mexico to the American student is
Zacatecas, the Place of Grass. Here
were the first bonanza mines in the
new world, and here sprung up the first
American m%illionaires. Not only that.
but here was coined the money which
permanently colonized the first corner
of what is now the United States. In
1916 Joannes de Tolosa discovered the
valley. Two years later he and Ills
friends founded the city, and its charter
was signed by Philip II. at San Lorenzo,
July 20, 1888.
II WAS TIC SlNhl Ctlipbt vi Aug uob q,
1860, that turned Tycho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was in his fourteenth
year at the time, a Danish boy OF noble
origin, and had been destined first for
the army and then for the law. But the
accuracy with which the eclipse was pre-
dicted impressed him with the belief
that astronomy was a divine thing, and
thenceforward he devoted his life t. it.
The debt of astronomy to Tycho Brahe,
not only for his own work but as the
man who shaped the genius of Kepler,
can scarcely be overestimated.
On March II. 1902, 203 years ago, was
published the first British daily paper.
1t was called the Daily Courant and was
devoted entirely To foreign news, the
editor announcing that he should not
presume to air his own views, suppos-
ing other people to have sense enough
to make reflections for themselves. The
Office, against the Ditch by Fleet

House square. Soon after its appear
ance it passed into the hands of Samuel
Buckley, who became the printer Of the
Spectator. In 1875 the Daily C%ourant
was absorbed in the Daily Gazetteer.

An ingenious respiratory apparatus
for the use of firemen has been in
vented by Charles E. Chaplin, of Berke

with oiled silk to cover the head, ant
an air cylinder which is strapped OF
the back. The cylinder is divided into
three chambers, carrying under g

The best paper cloth so far pro

is that under certain conditions thu
draught from the smoke box will sup
ply the fan with considerable power
This will operate the generator, cause
