EARTH RISES LIKE DOUGH.
Action of Moisture on Mineral Mat
ter Nearly Wrecks School.

A natural phenomenon recently
caused considerable damage to the
State Normal School Building of
Los Angeles, and there was also
great apprehension until the real
cause of the disturbance was
learned
For some time past the centre OF
the building has been slowly rising,
being thrust upward by some mys-
terious agency. 1t has caused the
floors to bulge, doors and windows
to be racked to degree to prevent
opening and shutting, and finally
the walls of the building began to
crack. The building frequently qui-
vered as though from light earth
quake shocks, and pupils and teach
ers were in a chronic state OF ner-
vousness.
State Superintendent of Public
instruction Kirk investigated the
trouble, and digging down UNDER
meath the centre Of the building he
found great masses of swelling
earth, caused by the crystallization
or ferrous sulphate.
The building stands over great
body of mineral matter gypsum,
iron aluminium salt, sulphur and
other minerals. The chemical COM
binations brought about by mois-
ture penetrating the mass are what
has caused the disturbance. Many
tons of, the earth have been taken
ort, and iron and stone supports in
troduced.

The house of Paul Revere, In
North Square, near the old North
Church, in Boston, from which he
started on his night ride to arouse
the countryside way up to Concord
and Lexington, April 10, 1775, was
to be torn down, but has been res
cued by a number of citizens,
among whom are Governor Douglas
and Mayor Collins. The sum of
$4,000 Is to be raised to buy the
property and put it in good condi-
tion, restoring it to its colonial dig
nifty and making it a reliquary of
the past.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-07-13

An engineer asserts that the Lon
don fogs are caused largely by the
discharge OF steam into the air from
the 500 or more locomotives aperat-
ing in London area. One steam
plant of 1000 horse-power,t the engi-
neer figures, will discharge into the
air twenty tons of steam per hour,
or sufficient to produce a fog twenty
feet thick and one mile square; and
what plants with capacity of 65,-
900 horsepower can do in the way
of fog production may, therefore, be
easily estimated. The proposed
remedy Is to convert this waste
steam into electric power.-Railway

THE ALLIGATOR PEAR.
II 10 Both Food and Medicine, Say lts
Enthusiastic Admirers

Many advocates of the use of the alli-
gator pear, that lustrous green stranger
with the tough skin, say that 1t has the
merits of both food and medicine and
is remarkably nutritious. besides hav-
ing that quality of flavor that seems
nicer the more you know about it.
It can be eaten one morning plain,
the next with pepper and salt, like a
salad the next with lemon juice and
sugar, and the partaker cannot tell in
which guise it is most delicious, being
so satisfactory in all.
Then it can be served with madeira
OF sherry as a dessert and made into
pie II need be; only connoisseurs do not
especially recommend pie, except for
those pie enthusiasts who can be
taught to know and love a strange
fruit only through that familiar med
ium. 1t gains in popularity in New
York yearly.
1t is said the oil in the alligator
pear has superior nutritive value to
the olive oil or to that yielded by pea
nuts, and that it Is almost equal to a
fresh egg in food value. 1t is in reality
one of the laurel family, not the pear.
Few people of the tropical cities
would willingly do without it, and it is
valued and beloved both in Mexico and
in China. A small orchard of tbs fruit
is bearing down by Palm Beach, Fla.
1t was founded by French growers
who anticipate great success. Cali
fornia now has several orchards Of It
The Brazilian variety is pronounced
finer than either the Chinese or Mexi-
can.

A Drain ON India's Population
