Not Likely to be Practicable Until

 New York Tribune.
 The proposed boring of a well 5000 feet deep by the Carnegie Steel Com pany at Pittsburg will undoubtedly revive the time-honored question of the interior heat of the earth, and how it might be harnessed by man for his own use. Two other sources of power, as yet but little used. are frequently being experimented with, occasionally successfully employed and constan fly speclated about. The force of the tide is used by wreekers to raise sunken vessels, and the magnitude of this force was recently demonstrated when the final span of the new Harlem River bridge was put in position by it's help. Sun motors" on account of their ex- pense and propensity for short hours. are not very popular, but several are operated In California. purely on a commercial basis. with partial suc- cess.
 There remains then only the heat of the earth for the disciples of free DOW CT to dream about. A superficial view of the question would seem to indicate that the project Is not so chimerical after all.

Charms Worn by Italians in order to
 Secure Immunity.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 It is usually when American women are travelling in Italy that they first become interested in evil eye charms. In Italy the aristocracy still protects itself from the evil eye. and the null titude is still devoted to the little evil eye charms to secure immunity from disaster.
 The true evil eye charm of the Ital- fans is in the shape of tiny hand, the index and the little finger being point ed out and the third and fourth fingers being held down by the thumb. The charm, however. is merely a represent ation of the way the Italian holds his hand. When pointed outward he wish es to cast the evil eye on an enemy. or when turned toward himself he thinks to protect himself from it's ma Hcious spell
 This little charm can be bought in Italy of various materials, coraI, tor toise shell, silver, and gold being the ones in highest favor The coral charms are those worn by the poorer classes since of a cheap grade of the material they can be bought for few sous. Naturally the aristocraey prefer them of gold. In Italian money these tiny things then cost the equivalent of about SS. Sometimes they arc seen vx-

It is proposed by a German engineer to use balloons for railway purposes A stationery balloon is fixed to a slide running along a single steel rail.

The balloon is moored by steel cable to the rail at a height of about thirty five feet above the ground The conductor can cause the balloon to ascend or descend at will The lifting power is furnished by hy- drogen was and the descent is caused by water pressure poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road.

 According to telegram from Ber- lin to The London Morning Post. the German government is distributing thousands of copies of the speech late ly made by Prof Burgess, in which he referred disparagingly to the Monroe doctrine. The money so expended will be worse than wasted. The speech was because 1t tended to fos- ter in Germans the delusion that they may find in Latin America a field of colonization and conquest. As a mat ter of fact. the Monroe doctrine waa never so firmly rooted in the minds of the American people or so resoIutaly upheld by their government as 1t is to- day.

The changeable weather during the winter months is one of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend.
 Catarrh of the head and throat abound with all their disagreeavle symptoms of hacking and coughing, sneezing and snuh1ng.
 A remedy that will both relieve and prevent these ailments is of priceless value to any family.
 Such a remedy is Peruna-
 Many a mother has discovered its merits, not only when she herself is attacked by some phase of catarrh. but for the children also

Austria and Italy.

In spite of all the efforts of Emper- or Francis Joseph and Kaiser Wilhelm, the unfriendly feeling in Austria and especially in the Austrian army against Italy is rapidly growing. The govern ment papers here as well as in Vienna and Rome try to make light of the sit uation but that the Italian press is well aware of the danger IS evident from an article In the "Corriere della Sera" in which it is said: We shall never do anything to hurt the feelings of Aus tria, but 1t cannot be denied that AusA trian army officers may force the hand of the government and drive us into a war to defend our national honor It Is absolutely necessary Tor Italy to pre- pare for the worst At the present we would be no match for our powerful rival"

'9rhe fatal woman" is the sobriquet by which St. Petersburg society knows Mmme. BielskaIa, a gay, lovely and fascinating young siren who has driven two of her lovers to suicide and ruin- ed other mems lives.
 The latest tragedy due to this wo- mans wiles was the ease of student named Ostrovski. who shot himself dead while walking 4,with her in one of the leading thoroughfares of this city.
 A formal lover of hers named Colo vatcheff fought duel with a rival After that fight. which was bloodless, Golovatcheff committed suicide. while the other man attempted his own life.
 Mme. Bielskaia's husband lied to the Caucasus with dagger wound in bis breast
 Another lover of the Fatal Woman" who says he was under her spell for eighteen months, declares that 'her careless gaiety, her beauty, her sudden fits of passion were equally compelling. Above all she was an artist on coque- try, and exercised a Kind of magnetic attraction"

BY MALCOLM cLARKr.

Brrlin, November 1.-The latest re- ports about the mad King of Bavarie show that he is madder than ever.
 He onw turns night into day, rising in the evening and taking his meals during the night. He will not touch any warm dish and can seldom be in- duced to eat by daylight.
 The numerous attendants upon the afflicted monarch daro ont show them selves to him only when it is absolute ly necessary, and then they have to avert their eyes, for he riereely resents being looked at.
 He stil presents wild and unkempt appearance. allowing no one to cut his hair and beard
 Physically the King Is weakening, but neither examination by a physician or the administering of medicine is pos- sible in his case.
 The Prince Regent and the Court are trying to hide the real facts of the .un- happy Kings condition from his sub jects, but these sad facts have recently leaked out

Reeretn ltn. PonnIatIon.

 { There Is a small remote village in the Grand Duchy of Baden which is regret ting its efforts to swell it's population in order to rank as community of 1000 souls.
 In preparing for the census, the local authorities held preliminary enumera- tions of the villagers, but not by the most thorough searching could they find more than a9S men. women and children in the village. It was their ambition that the village should appear in the list of populations with four fig- ures against its name.
 The burgomaster was nearly in de- spair when help came In the shape of a company of gypsies. whose advent brought the township's population up to l,005, The gypsies received an en- thusiastlc welcome which they could l understand. a j vera oIa1e much of. They stayed in the village for the census and thus 1,005 inhabitants were enumerated
 The local patriotism of the place was severely damped, however, by a new law which made places of more than 1000 inhabitants, subject to increased taxation. Thus the villagers would have escaped additional fiscal burdens if they had been less ambitious to add to their local importance.
