Pure olive Oil.

II olive oil congeals in freezing
weather, 1t is sign that it Is adulter-
ated with lard. Very few bottles of SO
called olive oil will stand this simple
test-in fact, we seldom get the pure
thing. and, if we did, the chances are
that we could not eat it. At least, that
was the experience once upon time Of
one woman who used a great deal of
mayonnalse dressing upon her table
and had supposed that she dotted on
olive oil. An italian friend bestowed
upon her flask of the peculiarly green
fluid. To her surprise, not one of her
family. herself included, could bear Its
taste. There was a tang to it which
showed them that they had never eaten
olive oil before and that they never
wanted to eat 1t again. So they gave
the flask away.-New York Telegram.

The worlds Water supply.

A German scientist predicts that the
time will come when there will not be
water enough remaining on this globe
to support human life. We are left to
suppose that our shrinking sphere will
form caverns in its interior into which
the oceans will sink. For similar
reason, as some astronomers believe,
there is no man In the moon, the for.
mer waters on its surface, If there ever
were any, having retired into its cav.
at present of subterranean hollows Of
any extent, and the earth's crust is con-
tinually adjusting Itself by earthquake
dislocations to the pressures within and
without. Besides, nature has provided
this planet Of ours with rather large
water supply. Nearly three-fourths of
the earth's surface-or Ia, ,712,85O
square miles-are covered by the ocean,
which is reckoned to be OF an average
depth of at least two miles. The globe
must contract enormously and leave
some huge cavities before our oceans
disappear. At present its crust by no
means resembles rigid arch. 1t is a
wavy curve, the tops of its mountains
more than five miles high and the low.
est of its sea floors more than five
miles deep. We may safely count on
several millions Of years before the
last man has not drop to drink.

LAST BOAT ON CANAL
Was Laden With Coal and Con.

Bloomsbury, Dec.
9, 1906.
PASSING OF AN INDUSTRY.

OF no little interest is the following
article on the passing of the canal,
which we CLEAN from the Bloomsbury
Morning Press:
"The question has frequently been
asked when did the last loaded boat
pass over the old Pennsylvania canal,
what boat was it, and where was it
consignedY Thinking that some of
your readers may be interested / have
looked up the record and find that on
December Sth, 1900, Pennsylvania
Canal Company's boats Nos. 343 and
344, Captain Cooper, were cleared at
the collector Office at Beach Haven,
consigned to NJ. A. Miller, Blooms
burg, laden with stove and buckwheat
coal respectively. This was the last
coal shipment to pass over the canal.
"'The last year of the canals oper-
alton saw great falling off in busi-
ness as compared to its former days.
In fact the last three years previou:
to its close foretold its doom, and
many were the regrets on the part of
those whose life had been spent fol-
lowing the fortunes and misfortunes,
Of the raging canal, where they saw
the beginning Of the end Of that grand
old waterway.
During the year 1900 there were
shipped over the canal to various
points between Nanticoke and Colum-
bia, 6S,677 tons of coal; during the
year 1899 the total tonnage was 10, 10S
tons. This was considered an exceed
ingly poor season. When we compare
the above with the season of 1897
during which the total of 203, 519
tons were carried over the canal, OF
the month of November 1896, in
which the Tonnage was SO, 97S tons,
we can easily see that the boat man
was being "starved out" of his oc.
cupation and the canal was being in a
word killed.
'In the way of its greatest activit,
there were few more pleasant or prof.
table occupations than boating and
many are the wishes of the old boat.

though this is not as we see it the
Survival of the fttest, yet the de

FUNNY LITTLE FIDDLER"


One of the Most Interesting Members
of the Crab Family.
One Of the most interesting members
Of the crab family is the queer and
grotesQue little "hddler" which lives
In burrows in the banks of creeks and
estuaries back Of the beach. Into these
burrows the crab retires In autumn
and composes itself for long winter
sleep. The eye stalks are then folded
down into sockets beneath the shell
and the large claw rests closed and
inert against the body, while the legs
are folded up until the entire animal
Ii snugly closed upon itself, and 1t re-
mains In this dormant condition until
the spring. Early in April the fiddlers
awaken and Immediately attend to
clearing out their burrows. The large
claw is useless for eating, only the
small one being available for this pur-
pose. 1t is amusing to see the deli
cacy with which this little claw feels
about and picks up the particles of
vegetable matter and places them in
the mouth, while the eyes are all the
time raised aloft on their stalks and
apparently looking of Into the dis.
tance. The female crabs have both
claws small and Of equal size, so they
are both used in feeding, and she can
satisfy her hunger just twice as easily
and quickly as the male. These fiddler
crabs also gather food and store 1t In
their burrows for future use.-St

cover the sum of so rubles. the debtor
having faithfully promised to return
the money on st. Henry's day. But
having failed to do so for long time
the lender discovered that the Russian
Orthodox church includes no such saint
as st. Henry, and the judge before
whom the case was tried was much
puzzled as to what verdict he should

that, saint or no saint, All Saints day

HE TOOK LONG CHANCES.
But the TaiIor's Anxiety and bill
Were Both Finally Settled.


The doctor Of an English regiment
stationed in India received a letter
from his tailor incloslng long overdue
T account and concluding with polite
inquiry after the debtors state of
health. The sawbones replied thus:
81 have received your hypocrltlcal
letter hoping that am in good state
Of health. Hear, then, what your
chances of my living long enough to
be able to pay your bill are. I attend
assiduously every cholera case in the

in lake swarmlng with alligators. AT

companied and on foot into the jungle

Jungle following up big game. and If

Its heat by joining party to ascend

The doctor eventually returned home
In safety, and the tailor's anxiety ani

limited their observing powers, but
London has itself to blame. l take 1t
that one can observe well only by the
power Of taking large views, and in
London this is impossible, even II one
