A Dvind Glass.

In the glass collection at the Museum
Of Art IN Dresden, Germany. there is a
large drinking cup which stands apart
from all other art objects unNer n
heavy glass cover. 1t is of Dutch
workmanship, and the inscriptions and
style show that it was made early in
the eighteenth century. The vessel is
remarkable because it is known in the
museum, says q Berlin paper. "as hav-
ing consumption which can be COM
municated to other objects Of glass.
On that account it Is isolated. There
are remedies against this glass disease.
which is usually developed because Of
defects in the glass mixture, but these
have not been applied to the Dutch
vessel In order that the progress of the
wasting disease may be observed"

The ocean. sea and lake surface of
our planet is estimated at something
like 145.OOO.OOO square miles. with an
average depth of 10000 feet. and is
calculated to contain not less than
3.270. soc. 600 100000 tons of water.
The rivers of the earth are estimated
to have a flow sufficient to cover thir-
ty-six cubic miles of the above area
each day. Now, If all the oceans were
suddenly dried and the rivers could
keep up their present rate of flow.
which. Of course. they could not with
out ocean evaporation. it would take
$500 years to refill the basin.

FIRE DANGER
From Christmas Trees
Warming Issued.

A year ago Christmas tree caught
fire in one Of the larger churches in
st. Paul during the program of Sun
day School festival, and a panic was
barely averted.
Warnings against the dangers lurk-
ing in this torchlike toy, this instru-
ment of whole-souled joy or perchance,
nameless horrors, cannot be repeated
too often.
A Christmas tree should be made as
fire-proof as possible. 1t is dangerous
at best. No candles should be put
upon it; if candles must be used, then
Don't put cotton on it.
Don't put paper articles on it.
Don't put candy wrapped in paper
on it.
Don't put celluloid articles On it,
Don't put lace or popcorn strings
on it.
Don't put candles on weak branches.
because they may shift position in
losing weight from burning and set
the tree on fire.
Don't put any inflamable articles
under the tree when candles are lit;
spark from twig may set them on
fire.
Don't set the tree ina cotton made
wbank: it may put your house in
ashes and turn your joy into mourn
ing.
Don't leave children alone with the
tree, nor the tree alone with itself
when the candles are lit.
Don't place the tree near window
curtains; slight draught may swing
them against a candle.
Decorations can hardly improve up
OH natures architecture, as displayed
in well-proportioned evergreen, but
if the tree must be decorated, non-in-
flamable articles should be putt on.
And the Christmas shops glitter with
a countless variety of pretty and
cheap ornaments that may be safely
used. A little care in its selection
may save money, joy homes, churches.
festival halls and lives.

Warnings have been sent out all
over the land to guard against send
ing money to the mail order houses at
least, until the financial situation
clears up somewhat. These large con-
Germs are gathering in the money and
boarding it, thus depriving the
country of the use of the medium of

ANCIENT HISTORY
Gold Doings at Tower Forty
Years Ago.

The following taken from the St.
Paul Dispatch of Saturday related 20
the excitement at Tower during the
war times when gold was mined at
Gold Island. The accounts Of the
various doings in this country at that
time make interesting reading. The
Dispatch said:

two years ago on Vermllion lake.

in the northeastern corner Of Mime
sofa, occasioned considerable excite
ment at that time. Adventurous ex-
plorers flocked TO the region and many
claims were taken. Professional
biologists confirmed the value of the
discovery. Specimens of the quartz
rock were sent to Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and elsewhere, with varying re-
suits, Some specimens yielded a rich
percentage of gold and silver; others
only small quantity. The favorable
reports were generally discredited,
but some of the original explorers
were still strong in the faith that the
veins were, richly auriferous. It was
found apostolic, however, on account
Of the nature of the country, to trans
port the requisite machinery into the
mining district.
"Charles Fl. Cakes. whose faith no
ridicule could shake. attempted to
send stamp and other machinery

pounds of bullion, consisting of gold
and silver, and worth about $500. The
new process consists in applying a
powerful heat to the crushed quartz,
