Amsterdam, Est Paul and Kerguelen on the southern edge of the Indian ocean to establish provision and clothing stations for shipwrecked mariners. Both the French and the New Zealand governments distribute instructions how to find these sta tions, with lists of what they contain, including at each depot about ton of preserved beef and biscuit, warm underclothing, cooking pots, matches, all packed in iron hooped barrels, coated with tar and sand and covered with tarpaulin.
 All these islands are on the ex- treme southern edge of commercial navigation. Supply depots are now maintained on them because they are uninhabited and it is difficult for castaways to maintain life on these bleek rocks while awaiting some passing ship, whose coming may be long deferred.
 The survivors of the Dundonald were unfortunate and it is to be hoped that future castaways will be better able to profit by these humane efforts in their behalf.

to pyrridine, or poisoning from to- bacco tar oils. The tobacco heart is more often traceable to free indul- gence in cigar smoking than to a similar indulgence in the pipe aud the cigarette. Young boys can smoke-to their great damage, nev- ertheless-a considerable number of cigarettes or even pipes, but ali equivalent in cigars more than sat isfies their tobacco appetite, so soon are the toxic effects of cigar smok- ing made apparent to them. The danger of excessive cigarette smok- ing is that though no marked syruu- toms may be manifested or expe.l- enced, yet in the long run decided harm is done, and a dangerous habit. akin to ''nipping," is culti- vated which it is often found very hard to abandon.

WOOD FOR EXCELSIOR.
Annual Production Requires Sixty
 Million Feet of Timber,

Excelsior seems to the average man
 trifiing product, and one that by
 reason of its lightness can not repre-
 sent a large consumption of timber,
 yet there are so many uses for it that
 the total annual production for the
 country requires sixty million feet of
 timber, or the growth of ten thousand
 acres of forest land.
 Besides the constant use in general
 packing, excelsior is in demand by upholsterers of furniture and car riages, by mattress makers, occasion ally for stable bedding, and by steamships to filter sea water. A richly upholstered chair and a mat tress which a customer fondly sup poses to be filled with hair contain nothing but excelsior beneath-pos- sibly a layer of cotton. Thus, we sit and sleep on wood as well as read wood pulp newspapers, and at the mortal end. of things we are likely to repose in a coffin upholstered with a choice grade of excelsior. One New York mattress factory uses a carload a day Teddy bears owe their TO- tundity to a special quality of fine excelsior.
 Logs must be perfectly dry for the of excelsior. They are seasoned for six months in sheds and then cut into sixteen inch lengths and quartered. These blocks are fastened in the machine, and are fed thereafter. Al series of sharp spurs. eight inches wide and placed fraction of an inch apart. rapidly scores the surface of the block to depth that is less than the thickness of a match. A knife blaming the block to the depth of the scoring, and a bunch of curly excelsior falls on a travelling belt.
 One excelsior machine turns out half a ton doy. and the total an- nual production is estimated at 25,- poo carloads, averaging fifteen tons each. There is not much wood left )n ten thousand acres of land when 1 he excelsior machines have had their iear's ratiOns.-New York Tribune. l

CIGAR, PIPE AND CIGARETTE.
Housewives Not as Particular as in
 Former Times.

Smoking nowadays is commonly tolerated in the house, and even in the drawing room a cigarette is sometimes permitted. The smoking of a cigar, pleasant though it may be to the smoker, and however ir- reproachable it's quality, is banned by most careful housewives in their sancta sanctoTum because it's reek is so persistent. The stale smell of cigar smoke in room is peculiarly unpleasant and peculiarly difficult to get rid of. It clings to the curtains and to most of the articles of furni- ture which present any sort of an absorbent surface. It is not so to the same extent with cigarettes OT with pipes. In the case even of a single cigar. books. papers and tex tiles reek of its stale flavor. and the room requires abundant airing be- fore that flavor Is completely elim- mated.
 Air is an excellent scaveneer. but ozone is more active in removing the smell. The effect may be traced to the fact that the smoking of a cigar produces a larger quantity of pungent aromatic oils than does the smoking of a cigarette or pipe. Tn the case of the cigarette oils aIe probably burned. even if they are formed. in the pipe they condeuse in the stem. while in the case of the cigar they are probably for the most part discharged into the air. In the form of a cigar tobacco could ap- pear to produce more Hls than in the form of a cigarette or when burned in pipe

SUPPLIES FOR CASTAWAYs.
Efforts to Succor ShipwTecked Sailors
 in Southern Seas.

Twelve sailors of the steamer Dundonald. which was wrecked on one of the Auckland Islands a year ago. arrived at Portland. Me. the other day with a story of their suf- ferinEs for eight months while they were living on a scanty supply of fish. roots and the sea fowl they killed with sticks They hunted for the depots of supplies that the New Zealand government had left on one of the islands for the relief of cast aways. but could not find them.
 There is little doubt that the sup plies were there, but unfortunately the sailors did not have the map is- sued by New Zealand. on which the position of the depots is indicated. and printed directions telling how to find them.
 The government prints every year revised maps and directions concern ing the depOts of provisions and clothing which il keeps on seven groups of islands between New Zealand and the Antarctic circle. The latest series of maps and i'm structions that has reached New York was printed last year.
 The main island in the Auckland group is about thirty miles long and twenty miles wide in its broadest part. and it is not very easy to find the dep0ts without the directions. The survivors of the wrecked steamer say they could find no boat. but theI New Zealand government asserts that three Iifeboats are kept there. two atI the north and one at the south end of the group. and the map shows their position.
 IL also shows the position of theI three supply stations on the main island. and the printed directions mention clothing. biscuit and other food. medicine. tools. etc. among the supplies

SUN DOGS.

Sun-dogs, such as were noticed on
 the afternoon of the 5th, are due tc
 the partial refraction of the rays ot
 the sun passing through stratum of
 the upper air in which is present
 watery vapor presumably existing as
 frozen particles of very minute size,
 too small to fall as hail or snow
 The normal effect of this is to pro- duce a ring or hallo, such as we
 see through a fog or mist. Besides the simple halo, or ring, from 22h to 45 degrees in diameter. outside halos tangential to the main lumin- ous ring are also formed, owing to the fact that the minute crystals of water-vapor are hexagonal in form and consequently produce a number of refractions and reflections of the rays of light. Where these outside halos touch or intersect the main ring, there is of course an intensifi- cation of the glow. These brighter spots grouped about the sun are fre- quently all that one can see. They are called sun-dogs. mock-suns. or, ponhelia." Sometimes they cross the coronal halo. producing near the sun or moon a faint resem- blance to a cross. Thus was pro- duced the cross that the Roman en- peror. Constantine. saw in the sun about 3I3 A. D., which produced his to Christianity.
 The phenomenon of sun-dogs- analogous to the rainbow-is of little use as an index of the coming weather because the frozen cloud may be of comparatively small size. and at a great height and may be blown away or dissipated by current of warmer air. It is sometimes very striking In appearance. and is comparatively rare in New England. 4 perfect cross was seen in Brighton. England. in 1852. and caused great alarm. Sailors regard sun-dogs as signs of bad weather. and. if the halo Is open at one side. think the wind will come from the same quarter. Shakespeare regarded them as precursors of dire events There is about as much. reason for one superstition as for he other.

Prohibition leaders claim that they
 have something up their sleeve in
 connection with the coming campaign
 and the wiseacres cannot see what it
 is unless W. J. Bryan, believing he
 has cinch on the nomination of his
 party, intends to either openly or in directly squint at probable national
 prohibition. Outside of this nobody knows of any political possibility favorable to prohibition this year.
 Every candidate for the republican nomination, including President Roosevelt himself should he be again named, is liberal on the drink ques- tion. They are abstemious but not one is teetotaler. Secretary Taft prefers that wines and whiskeys be not served at banquets and dinners he attends, but he does not attempt to say that others shall not drink because he abstains. Furthermore he has a record of utterances on the whiskey question that would not be accepted by prohibitionists as ortho- dox. He is outspokenly for the can teen for the soldiers of the army and has been severely criticized for his position on this question. Gn utter ances some years ago he is quoted as declaring against the effectiveness of prohibition and is understood to still hold to the view that morality and sobriety cannot be legislated into mankind.
