LONGEST and Oldest Tunnel.

The near completion of the Penn

Israelite of the Oldest known tunnel
In the world, that of Shiloah, near Je-
rusalem. 1t was used as an acque-
duct. The famous inscription, dis
covered a few years ago, celebrates
the first meeting of the diggers from
both sides. Newspapers did not ap
pear in those days, and so the event
cannot be exactly dated, but it most
probably took place under King Heze-
kiah, about 700 B. c., and is an i'll
teresting testimony to the high state
of civilization among the Jews at a
time when Europe was Inhabited by
savages.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use 50 much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Gasoline and Alcohol.

The greater safety of alcohol, as
compared with gasoline for CONNER
cial uses, is due to the fact that it
will not ignite from pure radiated
heat, as gasoline does; that water will
extinguish burning alcohol while ii
will only spread fire of gasoline, and
that the flames of burning alcohol ra-
dates very little heat while that of
gasoline radiates heat very rapidly.
