To Rebuild Dane Palace.

The Lower House. at Copenhagen,

Messrs. Sicmens & Halske, of Berlin,
are putting on the market a writing
pen made of tantalite, q metal so hard
that a diamond will not touch it.
1t is believed that such pens will dis
place steel and even gold pens, as they
are practically indestructible.
Many Belgian papers dwell upon the
necessity Of good mill; as a preventive
against sickness. Many experiments
have been made there on the absorbing
qualities Of milk, and the Belgian De-
partment Of Agriculture is urging
greater care in handling COWS, and for
sanitary tables, etc.
M. Camille Flammarion, the great
French astronomer, calls attention in
the Paris papers to the remarkable fact
that the subterranean disturbance
which broke the cable. connections In
the West Indies and caused a destruc-
tive tidal wave, was recorded by the
seismic instruments at Florence, Italy,
O distance of over 5000 miles.
A liquid for sanitary spraying, for
use in the chamber Of the sick, is given
by a French journal. 1t is composed Of
ten parts of eucalyptol, three parts of
thyme oil, as much lemon oil, and the
same quantity of lavender oil, in ITO
parts of alcohol of ninety degrees. To
a pint Of water add a teaspoon of this
liquid.
In a lecture at Washington on the
open-air treatment of consumption DR..
N. P. Barnes said: !"There are no
greater wholesale murderers in the
world than oil stoves, or gas stoves
without a ventilating pipe. Nine
chances to one when I go into a house
to treat a case of pneumonia or con-
sumption there Is an oil stove sitting
around somewhere"
The temperature of ice is thirty-two
degrees, and to melt it over a fire takes
40 degrees Of heat, but it does not feel
any hotter than it did at thirty-two
degrees. In other words, the 40 de-
grees must not be added to the thirty
two degrees making the temperature
Of the melted ice 172 degrees, for that
heat is taken up by the water as latent
heat. We see, then, that a heat Of 40
degrees is stored up in the water when
the ice is melted. Now, when water
is converted into steam an additional
heat Of 1000 degrees is stored up, so
that 1140 degrees Of heat becomes
latent in" converting ice into steam.
The process has two stages: First,
melting the ice to water, in which we
do not notice any change in the tenn
perature; and, second, boiling the
water to make steam, in which the
boiling water and steam are both 212
degrees, though in the change from
one to the other a heat of 1000 degrees
has become latent.

 "No, no," I protested. "Sit down. I have seen them," and then suddenly I remembered how had been disap- pointed. They contained no secret, they gave us no clew.

So I went back to my room, rather glad of the chance of an evening to myself.
 Besides, Cecily was good deal like the highly favored dish-to be fully enjoyed only at intervals. And, too there was only one point as yet unset tled-where she and Tremaine had beer the night of the murder. That, I felt could be cleared up without much diff fculty the first time she received me which would probably be not later thar tomorrow. I had premonition that that line of inquiry, too, would lead nowhere, that Cecily would prove by a word that neither she nor Tremaine had been anywhere near the Marathon at the hour of the crime. In any event I had plenty of time, and I could spend this evening very profitably in weigh ing and classifying my discoveries. ir getting a fresh start

began to speak a little prayer: "God
bless papa and mamma, and God bless
all on board this ship. God bless me,
and make me good girl, for Jesus Christ's
sake, our Lord. Amen"
The sound of the unconscious child's
simple prayer had something awesome
In it, and John Vickers. who not ten
minutes before would have sealed his
own death warrant unhesitatingly to pre-
serve the safety of the vessel. felt his
eyes fill with unwonted tears. The con-
trast was curious. From out the midst
of that desolate ocean-in a fever-smit-
ten prison ship, leagues from land sur
rounded by ruffans, thieves and muir
derers-the baby voice of an innocent
child called confidently on heaven.
Two hours Afterwards the Mala
bar, escaped from the peril which had
menaced her, plunged cheerily through
the ripping water-the mutineers, by
their spokesman, Mr.. James Vetch, con-
fessed:
"They were very sorry. and hoped
that their breach of discipline would be
forgiven. 1t was the fear of the typhus
which had driven them to it. They had
no accomplices either in the prison or
out of it, but they felt it but right to
say that the man who had planned the
mutiny was Rufus Dawes"
The malignant cripple had guessed
from whom the information which had
led to the failure of the plot had been
derived, and this was his characteristic
revenge.
