Beleville. Ill.-Shelly Sherr of Belle vile Is natural-barn brunette, but he is rapidly becoming an involuntary and reluctant blonde. He took the advice of | false friend and his change of tint IS the result.
 Shelly's raven locks were the pride of his life. They seemed 10 him not long ago that they needed a tonic. and he spoke about t 10 a man he thought he could trust.
 The thing yeur hair needs, he said. ''is peroxide of hydrogen
 When Shelly called for peroxide the look the druggist gave him made him want ta fight but he went home and bathed his hair according to direc- tions and watched for the results. They came His hair began to fade. In a few days it looked like burlap. then like straw that had been lying out in the lot all winter, and then like a little of both. It is now in the vario- Ibid stage. and getting worse every minute. and there is no way to head 1t off until it has run it's natural course.

 of Prehistoric Elephant

New York-The American Museum of Natural History has received sam pies of the hair. wool and hide Of mammoth elephant which probably are the only samples of the outer covering Of this extinct animal now in America. They are from Elephant Point. Alaska. where various re- mains of prehistoric beasts have been found.
 The elephant is supposed to have originated in Africa and to have tray. eled 10 all parts of the globe. develop ing the hair for which he is noted in the cold regions of northern Asia The first mammoth was discovered in Siberia nearly a century ago and since that time remains have been found in Alaska. presumably having foated across the Boring sea encased in ice The only perfect specimen of the mammoth is in the museum at St Petersburg, having been found ice encased h Siberia.

Crate m Taproom of Fell Tavern at
 Wilkesnarre. Pa.

called. for the first time in an open grate. The experiment was in the big taproom of the old Fell tavern, and this room and the grate are still preserved, although the oId tavern has long since disappeared The room was kept intact and the present build ing. a hotel, was erected around it.
 Coal had been discovered many years before Judge Felrs experiment.. but had not been put 10 practical use except by q few blacksmiths. who had burned t in their forges. where, under strong draft. t had ignited and made hot fire. No one thought of using it for household purposes. how ever. until Judge Fell began to think that if q fire such IS he had seen in some forges could be produced from t. t would be of exceedingly great value in the household He set to work. and although seoffed at by many friends be had built into the old fireplace in the big taproom two side walls Of brick. and at the bot tom and front of the open box he formed in the center he put fat strips of iron. forming grate bars.
 It was a wintry night when Judge Fell filed up the grate with wood. got 1t well ablaze upon a foundation of red hot embers. and then placed the coal upon t. While the interested and scoffing crowd of town notables watched. they saw that without any aid in the form of an artificial draft the coal soon ignited. and fn a little while was soon red hot and giving forth steady, lasting heat they never obtained from wood.
 In this manner the real usefulness of anthracite coal was established. The business grew very slowly, how- ever, and it was not until eight years later that shipments of hard coal reached 1000 tons.

WILL GUARD PEAKS
SWISS LEAGUE MAKES MOVE TO
 KEEP RAILROADS OFF.
More Than 100000 Signatures cb. tained to Petition Protesting so the Federal Council Against
 Invasion by Tracks.

Berne, Switzerland.-More than 100. 900 signatures have been attached in Switzerland to the petition that the Swiss league has prepared to present to the federal council. The first lines in the petition read:
 The high summits Of our Alps ars the ideal possessions of the whole Swiss people and the symbol of Swiss freedom. They are not for sale
 The petition is a protest against the threatened assaults which. many thousands of foreign visitors to Swift. ters in the tourist industry propose 10 make upon the scenery of the high Alps.
 It is in behalf of the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors Co Swift. zerland that various construction com. panies are trying to get permission from parliament to build mountain railroads and hotels and residences ta the Alps.
 The project of greatest importance, the one which is exciting the bitterest opposition, IS the proposed tunneling of the Matterhorn for inc to be part railroad and part elevator.
 It is proposed to convert the summit of the wonderful mountain shaft into series of grottoes with windows and balconies. where the tourist may smoke or sip his tea and enjoy the panorama of the Alps under conditions Of warmth and comfort.
 Another project that the Swiss are opposing with almost equal vigor is a curious scheme relating 10 the Aletsch glacier. the largest glacier not only of the Alps. but of the whole of Flu rope.
 It moves down it's long valley to the Rhone river, and it's ice covers an area of nearly 10 square miles. IL is euri- Ous fact that the largest glacier of Europe moves down the southern dope of the mountain facing the sun.
 The proposition is to lay down on the virgin snow of the AIetsch glacier a kind of sledge railroad. which shall traverse the whole length of that marvellous solitude.
 The Swiss league was formed to work for the preservation of Swiss scenery, and 1t is utterly opposed to the invasion of the Alps by an engi- neering works above the snow line. It has asked the moral support of all the Alpine clubs of Europe and none has responded more heartily that the Al- pine club of London. which at a large meeting has indorsed the protest Of the Swiss league.
 Sir Martin Conway. who presided. said that both the Matterhorn and the AIetsch glacier project ought to be de- feated. and all British mountaineers should enter the heartiest possible pro- test against them.
 The speakers regarded the policy of no railroad above the snow line as sound and practical. and letter was read from Mr Whymper, who headed the first party 10 ascend the Matter horn, in which he said that a railroad up that mountain would be injurious to the guides of he Zermatt valley and to those Of the Val Tournanche.
