Soluble Glass.

Soluble glass, or water glass, as 1t
Is sometimes called, Is an artificial sill
cate of sodium or potassium or a dou-
BILE silicate of both Of these alkalis, and
thus in it's essential ingredients the
same as ordinary glass. But ordinary
glass il to a slight extent soluble in
water, owing to the alkali which 1t
contains, and by varying the proper
ton of the alkaline constituents the
compound becomes readily soluble to
any desired degree. Attention was
first directed to it by Fuchs, a German
chemist, about 1924. It has been used
to some extent, and quite successfully,
in preventing the decay Of stone walls
and edifices under the action Of the
weather. The surface is covered with
coating of suitable solution, and,
the water soon evapOrating, a thin,
transparent glaze is left over the stone,
effectually protecting it from the dis
integrating action of the atmosphere.
Several public buildings in various
parts of the world have been success
fully treated in this way.

Wonderful Indian Runners.

An Indian has been known to carry a
letter from GuaZapares to Chihuahua
and back again in five days, the dis
lance being nearly 800 miles. In some
parts where the Tarahumaris serve the
Mexicans they are used to run in the
wild horses, driving them into the cor
raj. 1t may take them two or three
days to do it, sleeping at night and liv-
ing on a little pinole. They bring in
the horses thoroughly exhausted, while
they themselves are still fresh. They
will outrun any horse If you give them
time enough. They will pursue deer
in the snow or with dogs, in the rain,
for days and days, until at last the ami
NAL is cornered and shot with arrows
or falls an easy prey from sheer ~
haustion, it's hoofs dropping off.

SNAKE OlVINlTlES.
Fantastic Forms of Worship on
Southwest Coast Of India.


Southwest Coast of India
Serpent worship and the Precipitation
OF snake divinities, which once spread
all over Asia. still maintain a tena-
cious hold on the little native states of
Cochin and Travancore. on the south
west coast of India. Here Hindoos
high and low revere the cobra as they
did thousand years ago, and it is con.
sidered heinous crime to injure the
reptile or neglect its interests.
In the district Of Travancore alone
there are between $4,000 and 10000
shrines dedicated exclusively to the
worship Of snakes which possess ex-
tensive and valuable properties for
their maintenance and for the cost of
the ceremonies which the keepers have
to perform from time to time.
In these shrines the HindOOs set down
fantastic idols of serpents ON a stone
base, and the shrine is protected by a
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offerings of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the SER
pertine habitues of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns in order
to be assured of their favor.
Every morning the king and queen of
the serpents are bathed, and fruit and
milk are offered to them, 10 be followed
at noon by cooked rice and fried grain.
On certain days the idols in grove and
household temple are carried in pro-
cession to the house. where propitia-
tary offerings are made. The presiding
funct1Onary must be the eldest female
member of the family, who has to prac-
tice celibacy from the day she attains
the position.
At famous snake festivals at Travan-
core pious folk gather from all parts
to join in the worship, bringing offer
ings of gold, silver, grain, pepper,
spices, oil, sandalwood, silk and other
things. The cost of the festivals is de-
frayed by the revenues of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. 1t is believed that unless the
ceremonies are conducted with rever-
ence the largest cobras of the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members of the house. The ma
tives also believe that snake bites in
the neighborhood Of these shrines new
er prove fatal. Be that as it may,
deaths from snake bites are very rare.
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and the shrines in Ira
vancore number between fifteen and
twenty thousand.
The snakes of India are rarely ag.
gressive, but generally keep to them
selves, and, being so kindly treated and
benevolently attended, it is not aston
ishing that they become docile and
harmless. All over Travancore the peo
pie when they see a snake approaching
say, 1.-The god is coming" and make
way for the divinity. Children play
fearlessly about the groves while their
serpentine friends are gliding about or
basking in the sun and have never been
known to be harmed. When the groves
become Overrun with serpents the sur
plus population is removed and sent to
other shrines, certain piOus Brahmans
being especially applied to for this pur-
pose.-New York Herald.

DR. TABOR URGES CITIZENS
 NOT TO BECOME EXCITED.

Austin, Tex, August Estate Health Officer Tabor today made report to Governor Lanham concerning the yellow fever situation in the south in which he says:
 .'Yellow fever exists now in Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama. Florida and the Republic of Mexico. Texas is sandwich ed between the infected districts with very little hope of escaping invasion by the scourge with the long summer before us We are guarded as closely as pos sible, but 1t is very hard to maintain 6 successful quarantine. l would cer- tainly insist that there be no mobiliza- tion of citizens or soldiers at this time, as any excitement might cause general stampede and a general quarantine that would tie up the entire railroad service of the state. l would, therefore, urge upon each and every committee that they look after their sanitation and keep as clean as possible. Avoid all mobilizations that will work against the laws Of sani- tation and do everything possible 10 keep down all chances of excitement
 The state health officer has also called upon the governor to hold the entire state ders. as he may need them at any time to control the quarantine situation.
 While there is every effort upon the part of the state, county and city offi- cials everywhere to keep down excite ment, the people are getting considerably stirred up and the first intimation of fever in Texas will likely cause a panic ard a wholesale quarantine.

COMING TOMORROW
 TO EXAMINE PAVING
EXPERT FROM NEW YORK WILL SEE WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE WOODEN BLOCK PAv- ING ON HIGHLAND AVENUE.

An expert representing the United States Wood Preserving company will arrive In Birmingham tomorrow to examine the ereoseted wood block paving being layed on Highland avenue and see what Is the trouble. The paving has bulged every time that If has ralned since 1t was lay cd and City Engineer Kendrlclk and Mayor Ward decided that the paving was not satisfactory under the present conditions
 The contract amounts to about s450oO and the United States Wood Preserving company is under bond to make the job satisfactory. The bond protects the city and the property holders against any loss should the paving not be satisfactory
 Mayor Ward and City Engineer Ken dricx wrote a letter to the company stat Ing that the paving was not satisfactory and asking that an expert be sent to ex] anime it.
 Mr. Kendrick stated yesterday thai the eomnany told him that 1t frequently had trouble of this kind with a creosoted block having while 1t was being layed, or inn medlately after if was layed. but that the blocks soon settled into place and then the paving proved perfectly satis- factory

MERCHANTS DENY
 CHARGE PREFERRED
aAYs THEY HAVE NOT VIOLATED : LAW ABOUT SEATS FOR FEMALE
 clERkS-cAHEEN AND PIZlTZ ARRESTED YESTERDAY.

Warrants, similar to the one served on George McC1eery, manager of hress rive and Ten Cent store yesterday were served on Salvador Caheen, and Lotus fizitz, charging them with q violation or sec ton of the criminal code of Alabaiha' which provides that all merchants em- ploying female clerks must furnish them with seats to rest upon during the mo- ments of the day when they are not act uauy engaged in their employment warrant was also issued for D. M Dren- nen of Drennen & Co.,, but he IS absent from the city The warrants were sworn out by Charles Denegre, an at torney
 When seen yesterday all the merchants positively denied the charges that they were violating the law Louis Pizitz said;
 "I have twenty-five seats and only fif- teen female clerks. l allow them to sit down at any time of the day, when they are not waiting on the trade or dls- charging other duties. The attorney pre- ferring the charges cannot prove them. What his motive is l cannot yet plainly see
 Charles MeCleery, manager of the hress store, said yesterday that he had been careful to observe the law so far as he understood it. with regard to providing seats for his female employees. To rep- resentative of The Age-Herald who vis- lied the Kress store, MT. Mccieery said:
 These are the seats, pointing to the neat, strongly made stools of wood, and thought they were well designed for the purpose for which they were intended I am always mindful of th> comfort of the young women in our service and have never heard a complaint from any of them. If these stools do not comply with law l am ready to substitute other seats. l have no intention or desire to evade the law In any way whatever"

(Adv.) A CARD
From the Employees of kress & Go.

We are very indignant, Indeed, that our manager, MT. McCleery, was arrested for what we feel is an unjust cause. and We want the public to know that we do not endorse the action Mir. Denegre has taken. Mr. Mccleery has always treated us in a kind and gentlemanly manner and the charge that he has not provided us with seats is not in accord with the facts. We have seats to sit on and rest when not busy and when arranging stock under counters, and al ways have had. We are busy most of the time and are glad of it. MT. Me Cleery gives us a vacation every year and pays us in advance so we can en- joy ourselves. When we have any griev- anoes we will bring them to MT. Me Cleery. for We know he will give us patient hearing and accord justice, as he always has done.

BIG BASKET DINNER
 AT BLOUNT SPRINGS
IMMENSE OUTDOOR AFFAIR WILL BE HELD AT BLouNT ON Au- GUST 1e-sEvERAL PROMINENT SPEAKERS.

The Masons. odd Fellows and citizens of the western portion Of Blount county are going to give mammoth basket pie mic on August 16 at Blount Springs.
 It is expected that more than 1000 peo- pie will attend the picnic and that 1t will be one of the largest affairs of the kind ever held in that section of Alabama.

 The programme will include addresses by several prominent men in Alabama politics. B. B. Conner has accepted an invitation to speak at the picnic on the political affairs of the state H. B. Gray will speak on the lieutenant governor ship; A. A. Griffith of cuilman will make an address on the Oua Fellows, and MT. Springfield will represent the Masons.

will allow no hardships beyond what is absolutely necessary in the conduct of the quarantine.
 Dr. Sanders has taken up with Dr. Mohr and others the interests of the people on the gulf coast between New Orleans and the Alabama line, who are very much in- convenienced by the rigid restrictions. A plan will be devised to give those relief who have not been near places of infec- ton.
 There being many matters of impor- tance to look after to the south, Dr. Sanders will go that way possibly tomor- row. He will visit Selma and Meridian and then Mobile. going if necessary to other points for the purpose of strength ening the quarantine restrictions and in- creasing the protection to the people,.
 The fact that most of the fruit vessels which formerly unloaded at New Orleans have been dehected to Mobile has caused many to become uneasy in the fear that Mobile Is too slack in its protection ar arrangements. The change is caused by New Orleans increasing the quarantine time from five to six days, while Mobile re- mains at the old five days time.
 Some months ago the quarantine off, cials of Mobile, New Orleans and Calves ton held a meeting and agreed upon five days as the time for all fruit vessels to remain fin quarantine. New Orleans, it Is charged, whittied this down in many ways, one of which was in allowing the vessels to move up to the city in the quarantine time, and be ready to anchor at the wharf at the very moment they were past the hour of restriction.
 To this practice 1t Is thought the pre- yalence of fever in New Orleans is due. Many of the crews of these steamers live in New Orleans. Of course when the vessels would move up to the city they would get ashore and go home. There has been much fever in Central America for some time, and it is quite likely that in this way it was brought into the city of New Orleans and from there sent to other sections.
