Guarding Bank of France,

Like the Bank of England, the
Bank of France is now guarded
every night by soldiers. But with
in quite recent time the officials at
the bank resorted to a quite novel
method of protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors of the vaults
in the cellar with hydraulic mortar
as soon as the money was deposited
each day in these receptacles. The
water was then turned on and kept
running until the whole cellar was
flooded. A burglar would be obliged
tc work In diving suit and
break down cement wall before
he could even begin to plunder the
vaults.
When the bank officials arrived
next morning the water was drawn
off, the masonry lorn down. and the
vaults opened.

The Desert of Sahara.

Th Desert of Sahara may be 'e-
serted perhaps 1t is most desert
like, great tracts of sand, and not
soul to be seen, but that is not the
conception that most of us have.
Personally the writer is convinced
that it is crowded with people all OF
them recognizing one another. 1t
must be so, from the number of
| ersons we hear exclaiming: Il
sh' uld have known you, my dear, II
I'd met you in the Desert OF Sahara"
They do not say that they ever have
met anyone in the desert, but one
gets the impression that the air here
is particularly favorable for recogni-
tion--a solt of "if you see t. II. the
desert it's So" The place appar-
emily, gives n stamp OF reality, proves
ii in fact, and that Is why so many
women say: 81 wouldn't have be-

Sealskin IN the Making.

How many of the fair wearers a
sealskin know how this fur is pre-
pared?
In the skin Of dog or a cat Il
will be noticed that at the roots OF
tie longer, coarser hair of the ami
NAL. there are fine short hairs called
under fur" In most animals these
hairs are so few that they are US
TALLY overlooked. Not so with seal
skin.
The operations which the pelt un-
dergoes to bring out this under fur
are really simple.
The skin. after going through va
rious processes to cleanse it OF
grease. etc. Is stretched out fiat.
with the flesh side uppermost. A
fiat knife Is then passed over It. thin
ming the skin considerably. In do
ing this 1t loosens the roots of the
longer hairs which are more deeply
embedded than those of the under
fur. The rough hairs are thus got
rid Of without Injury to the softer
fur.
Next the pelt passes through oper-
ations which soften and preserve 1t.
Then comes the dyeing by which the
uniform tint so generally admired
Is obtained. And now the fur Is
ready for making up into cosy wraps

u
Thee Is a town in Pennsylvania.
not far from Harrisburg, but OF

theatre which for luxury of accom-

The theatre has all sorts of me dern

million OF inhabitants. This par
ticular city had at the last census
about 10000 Inhabitants.
The reason for being Of this thea

in the town an exceedingly wealthy
man who vans TO see shows with

about s10,000,000.
He has lived in and about the
place all his life making money out
o. lumber and manufactures.
When he had enough to retire on he

Treatment of Deaf Mutes.

In the experience of DR.. Marage,
as reported to the Paris Academy of
Medicine, very few deaf mutes
have proven absolutely incurable,
but of the others there are two
classes-those who eventually un-
derstand and speak almost as we'll
as anybody, and those who get no
further than hearing and under
standing music. A recent class of
pupils from IL to IA years of age
had been given q six weeks course
o: acoustic exercise with the voice
siren. BY this system the teacher
avoids fatigue and the children had
not only acquired the ability to hear
and understand French. but their
voices had lost the harshness char

Motorite Is the fuel, consisting of
20 per cent. nitroglycerine and 80
per cent. guncotton. For use 1t Is
made in long solid bars. forced and
sealed into long steel tubes. This
fuel is self-combustive, and does
not require atmospheric air to burn
1t; consequently, 1t may be burned
in a confined space. The heat of
the burning motorite is used to evap-
crate water. and the steam and prod
ucts of combustion are mingled to
drive turbines for the boats propul-
