Siberian ice is reported by hidden
dorf to have an ordinary depth of l. so
meters (five teet) to 1.S0 meters, never
exceeding 2.40 meters. In just com
| pleted measurements on running
streams, Prof. Voickov has found a
thickness of 10 to O.SO meters on the
Jenessei, to 2.35 meters in the ex-
treme north, and only l.S0 meters at
VeIkhoyansk, one of the earth's cold
spots, in latitude 67 degrees.
Steel barrels are now welded by
electricity. At a factory at Uxbridge,
England, a rectangular sheet of steel
is rolled into cylindrical shape, the
edges are trimmed by shearing, and
the quarterinch opening is closed by
rapidly melting into it strips of steel
two inches long and half an inch
wide. The sheet is held by clamping
to an anvil, which serves as one pole
of an electric circuit, carbon rod in
a movable handle forming the 9th r.
For each head a fanged dish is driven
in, flange outward, strip of steel is
clamped round the joint on the inside
and another on the outside, and the
four thIcknesses thus formed are
welded together by the arc. A stamp
ed steel bung- hole is welded into a
hole punched for it. A product of
the factory is its own chimney, which
is 56 feet high and 4 feet in diameter,
and is formed of qua1ter-inch steel
plates with electrically welded
horizontal and vertical joints. Elec-
tricity is supplied by continuous
current generator, with capacity of
2100 amperes at 50 volts.
A new plan for improving the hear
ing is being tried in France. Action
of the drum of the ear, as is we'll
known, vibrates chain of three tiny
bones impinging upon liquid,
which in turn excites some ZOO
minute hairs terminating the audi
| tory nerve; and deafness is usually
regarded as disease of the drum or
the middle ear. The idea of Drs.
KONG, Marcel Natter and Rousselot
is that, unless distinct external de-
feet is shown, atrophy of the nerve
hairs is the cause of impaired hear
ing Each of the tibers responds to a
certain specific tone, and by means
of the 'tonometer," apparatus
yielding a great variety of tones
through the action of tuning forks
and sounding board, it is sought to
give exercise to as many nerve ends
as possible. This has seemed to
strengthen the responding nerve
fibers while others are gradually
aroused into activity.
The largest mass of ice on earth is
beyond the control of the Ice Trust.
1t has been accommodating in Green
land for thousands of years, and the
immense block Is supposed to average
mile and half in thickness, its
area being about 600, 900 miles.

Froude,s youthful Terrors.

Of the youthful hardships endured
by James Anthony Froude a biogra-
pher says: "Conceiving that the child
wanted spirit, Hurrell, his elder broth
er, once took him up by the heels and
stirred with his head the mud at the
bottom of a stream. Another time he
threw him into deep water out of a
boat to make him manly. But he was
not satisfied by inspiring physical ter
ror. Invoking the aid Of the preternat-
ural, he taught his brother that the
hollow behind the house was haunted
by a monstrous and malevolent phan-
tom, to which in the plenitude of his
imagination he gave the name of Pc
ningre. Gradually the child discover
ed that Peningre was an illusion and
began to suspect that other IDEAS Of
Hurrelrs might be illusions too"

The oldest Tree in the World.

The dragon tree of the Canary IS
lands is believed to be the oldest
living vegetable organism in the
world. The age of one tree in partic-
ular, the once famous dragon tree of
Teneriffe, has usually been estimated
to be from 1000 to 5000 years, having
thus an antiquity comparable with
that of the Pyramids. This wonder
of the plant world was 10 feet or more
in height, and survived intact until
the year 1919, when during terrific
storm one of the large branches was
broken off. A similar storm in 1867
stripped the trunk of its remaining
branches and left it standing alone.

The FIyinr Lizard of Java.

The curious little animals known as
flying lizards Oraco volans) are only
found in Java, and their strange ap-
pearance is supposed to have been the
eastern Imagination The reptile is like
an ordinary lizard, but is provided with
folds of extensible skin which are
spread out by the long ribs and enable
the animal to glide through the air from
tree to tree in pursuit of the insects on
which it preys. When lying prone on
the mottled surface of bough, it is
an excellent example of protective re-
semblance," as it is most difficult to be
seen unless it moves.

Wonderful WaterWOrkS.

This plant is one of the finest in
the United States. Its cost was
about six millions. There are two
sets of engines of three each which
do the work The first three lift from
the river and drive through two forty
eight inch pipes a volume OF the
muddiest kind of muddy water
amounting to forty million gallons in
twenty-four hours. This turgid
liquid is passed through five vast set
ling tanks; there most Of the soil and
sand are deposited, when it is turned
over TO the other three engines and
| dispatched through mighty mains to
the city. Mr.. Hugh Suite, a kindly
Scotchman, who has been seventeen
years in this country, doing service
for Omaha, showed me through the
large concrete building, and explained

do.
Mr.. Suite also informed me that
Florence is annually visited by pill
grims, who come to visit the scene
where their ancestors tarried and re-
cuperated strength before venturing
on the perilous journey into the great
American deseret. He told of a visit
not long ago from the Mormon presi-
dent and other dignitaries from Utah;
OF their going to the landing place,
visiting the cemetery and holding re-
ligious services and showed me the
road leading up from the river,
through break in the hills, TO the
Hat country above where the Mormon
pioneers wendell their way as they set
out for the great west.

Cleveland, o., July 25.-The Mu-
nicipal Traction company, recently
organized to construct and operate a
number of street car lines in this city
on a three-cent-fare basis, began q
war on the Cleveland Electric railway
company by suddenly putting a force
Of 500 men at work tearing up the
tracks of the latter company in Fulton
street. Mayor Johnson, who is credit
ed with being largely interested in
the Municipal Traction company, was
personally on the ground as was also
Chief of Police Kohler and a large
number of officers. Within a short
time more than quarter of mile of
track had been torn up.
Mayor johnson said the action was
taken because the Cleveland Electric
Railway company refused or neglected
to comply with a council resolution re-
curing 1t to take up its tracks in Full
ton street and remove them to the
east side of the street.
subsequently the mayor stated that
the tracks were being removed by city
employees under the supervision of the
board Of public service and not by the
Municipal Traction company, as had
at first been generally believed.
Judge Ford In common pleas court
granted an Injunction restraining the
city and the fMunicipal Traction com
pany from further interference with
the tracks of the Cleveland Electric
Railway company In Fulton street
The Cleveland Electric Railway com
pany declared the action of the city in
granting the right to tear up the
tracks was violation of its franchise
rights.
The Injunction was served upon
Mayor johnson personally as he was
overseeing the work Of tearing up the
tracks. He acknowledged the service
and put the document in his pocket
but told the men to proceed with their
work and ignore the courts order
Quite large amount Of work remain
ed to be done when the Injunction was
served.
