Would Melt the Rock.

The proposed bore-hole IL miles
deep has brought out the objection
that the great pressure of 40 tons per
square inch would cause viscous flow
of rock material, making the feat inn
possible. Hon. G. A. Parsons replies
that this idea can be tested by sub
jecting q piece of quartz rock to a
pressure of 100 tons per square inch
In a close-fitting cylinder having a
small hole through its center. This
pressure is that expected at depth Of
80 miles.

Teaching Children to Cook.

Teaching little girls how to buy and
to prepare simple, wholesome foods Is
a feature Of several schools in New
Yorks great east side. In the thickly
settled districts of Little Italy or the
Ghetto it is almost invariably the case
that both parents work during the day.
This leaves the oldest girl Of the lit
tie family not only to care for the
baby, but also to prepare the evening
meal.
Imagine a little girl Of from eight to
twelve years trying to stretch the pen
nies for dinner in the wisest way.
The main object Of the schools is to
teach the young students what to buy,
how to convert it into plain, whole
some food, never to waste anything left
over and. above all, how to have some
thing warm and palatable for the tired
father and mother when they come
home at night. II there are no girls
in the family the schools teach the
boys. and many little chefs in the tene-
ments today were turned out by the
cooking classes.-Leslie's Weekly.

Civilized Murder.

After years of residence among the
head hunters of Borneo an English
woman writes of them as follows: Il
don't want to stand up for head hunt
ing: it isn't nice. The civilized nations
call it murder, and it is murder. But
are we to throw stones? Aren't the
means we take to satisfy our unquench-
able thirst for gain murder-tailorlng,
shrtmaking, straw plating, lace ana
box and nail making and how many
more? Do any of them bear looking
into if we want to feel that, as q coun-
fry. we do not murder? Isn't the whole
destruction Of body, soul and spirit
which drink and gambling and I'M
morality are carrying on hourly at our
very doors, and inside many Of them'
filling our hospitals and lunatic asy-
lums and graves? Isn't that MURDER
And in our murder are any good quail
tiles necessary? None! But hghting
brings out the noblest parts of saw
age. and in his home life love and con-
tent reign. But civilized murder means
misery and discomfort and homes turn
ed to hades."

Tho Creen Rose.

I am bound to say that this rose
meets with very little admiration. The
general verdict is, More curious than
beautiful" But l like the rose and
even admire it, and to botanists 1t is
extremely valuable, because it Is Que
Of the best proofs we have that all
parts Of a plant above the root are
notifications of the same thing, and
In the green rose every part may be
called a leaf. 1t is a variety OF the
common China rose, came to England
about 1885 and is quite constant. 1t
also gives strong support to the view
held by many great botanists that all
flowers were originally green, and that
the colors in flowers are analogous to
the autumn tints of leaves, and in the
green rose the flowers generally put on
a reddish tint when they begin to fade.
In this view the green rose, as we now
have it, is a reversion to an older state
Of the rose, or it may be a continuance
Of an undeveloped rose.-Canon EIia-
combe in Cornhill Magazine.

APPENDICITIS.
The Use of COIIangoI to Take the
Place of Surgery.

FlaCc OF
Consul General Guenther Of Franz
fort Germany, reports to the depart
ment Of commerce and labor the sue
cessful treatment Of appendicitis by
means Of "collangol," a silver solution.
He writes:
"N[uch has been written on the treat
ment of appendicitis, principally with
reference to the question whether In a
given case an operation must be per-
formed to save the life of the patient
1t would doubtless be a great boon II
remedy could be found to make an op
Grafton unnecessary. Such a remedy
It is alleged has been found under the
name of 'collangol.' Collangol is
form Of pure silver soluble in water.
Chemical manipulations for rendering
silver, quicksilver and some other met
als soluble in water were discovered
within the last few years The anti
septic property Of silver has long been
known, as, for instance, in the form OF
lunar caustic, which has also been ad
ministered internally. Its use, how
ever, has been very limited. BASED
upon this knowledge successful exper-
iments have been made by some noted
physicians through the use Of the solu'
Bile, nonirritating and nonpoisonous sill
yer in suppurative diseases, as, for in
stance, in the dreaded puerperal fever
and other suppuratiye feyers
"Dr. MOosbrugger Of Leutkirch has
now used collangol in appendicitis, as
we'll internally and externally. This
treatment, according to his statement
In the Munich Medical Weekly Re-
view. has yielded extraordinarily good
results. Within two or three days art
er treatment a decided improvement
was noticeable in incipient cases. In
cases where an Inflammation Of the
peritoneum had already taken place
cure was, however, very slow-often
only after weeks Of treatment both In
ternally and externally. Excepting
two very severe cases out of the sew
enty-two which came under his obser'
yation and treatment all were cured
without any surgical operation. He
claims that this treatment Is very
much superior to any other and that
he is justified In stating that every
case of appendicitis, if early diagnosed,
be it ever so acute and malignant, can
be cured with collangol without re-
sorting to the knife.
I'm view of the otherwise favorable
experiences with this remedy it Is very
probable that his opinion will prove
correct. but, after all, it will yet re-
aure a great deal Of very critical OBJ
servatIon before it will be safe to dis
pense with a timely operation, which
is capable of saving many lives. The
published statements Of Dr. Moosbrug-
ger are not explicit enough as to the
history Of the cases to make real
criticism possible. At all events, his
statements deserve careful attention.
On the other hand, it cannot yet be
stated how long the cure will last.
Light cases Of appendicitis can be heal
ed for a time as is well known. The
question. however, is for. how long.
Further experiments will be awaited
with great interest, says the Didas-
kalia."

BEER DRINKING IN PARIS.

PARIS August 19.-In spite of the hot
weather, statiStic,an has had the energy
to calculate how much beer Paris drinks
in one of the present dog days, which are
proving more caoicular than usual. so to
speak. One big brewer and wholesale i'm
porter said that he delivered 33. 900 gallons
Of beer-22. 900 i'll Paris and 11.O20 in the
immediate suburbs-on single day. He
estimated that on that day the largest
cafes in Paris had each retailed over $4,000
gallons of beer to private customers. In
average establishments the quantity for
that day was some $4,000 gallons from
baking morn to sweltering eve. Finally.
the grand total reached for all Paris cafes
still on that same day. was 10000 hecto-
Mtres, or over 10000 gallons OF beer. This
means that Paris In twelve hours, drank
1900 900 books, book being just half q
pint. In extenuation be it said that the
thermometer reached 9i In the shade. Pur-
suing his Investigations. the statistician met
a man in a cafe who had just polished off
his eighteenth double book. or pint and
was screaming for nineteenth. The land

Thereupon the thirsty man crossed the road
to another cafe. and went in for a second
