Oakley Thorne Testifes Before Gov
 ernor Hughes Committee.


 New York. March 16.-Oakleigh Thorne. President of the Trust Com pany of America, appeared today be- fore the committee appointed by Gov ernor Hughes. to investigate the New York exchanges. and told them about the absorption of Tennessee Coal and kron by the United States Steel Cor poration in 1907. No new details in regard to the deal was disclosed.
 When questioned as to the reason for calling MT. Thorne. MT. White said that the committee desired to secure information as to whether any attempt had been made to shake out" the firm of Moore & Schley. brokers and to force them to sell their holdings of Tennessee Coal and Iron stock.
 According to MT. White. the testi- mony of MT. Thorne was to the effect that no such attempt had been made at the time the merger had been put through. MT. White also. added that he was of the opinion that no effort of this kind had been made.

MOSNuitO Coast.

The Mosquito coast is strip of
territory lying on the east coast OF
Nicaragua. 1t was discovered by COL
umbus in 1902, and was claimed by
Spain, although it was never con-
quered by that country. During the
seventeenth century the Mosquito
coast was the headquarters of the
buccaneers, and in 1850 became SUBJ
ject to Great Britain with non-fulfil-
ment of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, these two nations agreed not
to occupy or fortify or colonize or as
sumo or exercise any dominion over
any part of Central America. In
1855 the United States charged Great
Britain with non-fulfilment of the
treaty. and in 1859 the English
agreed. with certain reservations. to
cede the territory to Honduras. Mic
aragua now claims the sovereignty OF
this territory. The Mosquitoes. who
now number only about 10000, were
at one time able to muster an army
of 10000 men.-Boston Globe.

The TriQntelODe.

What is "triantelope?" 1t is the
absurd name that has been popularity
given for many years to the monster
fly catching spider Of Australia.
Originally it was the children's rough
and ready way of saying tarantula,
but people generally came to adopt
1t as coming more trippingly on the
tongue than the scientific word. The
Australian scientist and educational
authorities have now agreed to ac-
cept "triantelope," and are being rid
iculed in consequence. What has
antelope to do with spider, and why
tri?" The scientists reply that "tri-
antelope" is now in universal use, so
that from the mouths of babes and
sucklings has come the authoritative
word.-London Chronicle.

ExnerimentS on Animals.

OF all the infective diseases which
trouble mankind, diphtheria stands
foremost as the one concerning which
our knowledge seems most complete.
1t may be mere vanity to say SO, but
this knowledge appears to contain
few, II any gaps of vital consequence
to the human race. The nature of
the casual micro-organism is known,
the methods of detecting this in af-
flicted persons are matters of every
day practice and, most important of
all, the specific remedy is in universal
use. 1t is quite doubtful if all this
can be said of any other infective dis
ease. Were there room for boasting
in the sphere of medical science, this
array of brilliant discoveries connect
ed with diphtheria might be quoted
with pride as conquests for humanity,
won by much toll in the face of great
difficulties. These discoveries, of the
utmost practical value in the treat
ment of the disease, constitute one OF
the greatest arguments against tie
statement, ofttimes made, that the re-
suits of animal experimentation prove
this method Of research to be devoid
of useful results. Not only the dis
covery of the cause Of the disease,
but the very manufacture of the only
remedy known to cure it, has depend.
ed almost solely upon animal expert
ments.-From Nature.

so as to prevent as nearly as may be
any possibility of contamination.
There are as many, il not more. CT
the germ diseases that may be trans
mitted by water as by any othe
means, and some Of the diseases ara
so uniformly transmitted by the water
supply that they are known as water
borne disease. Typhoid fever is such
disease, as we'll as some of the
other forms of intestinal troubles. If
disease may be carried by water, it is
of the greatest Importance that every
precaution should be taken to insure
pure water supply.
A hasty examination of a water is
of very little benefit and may often
be entirely misleading. A water may
be clear, free from any sediment or
odor and may taste good, and still be
dangerous for drinking purposes. A
chemical analysis, supplemented when
necessary by archaeological exam
ination, is needed to determine the
quality Of a given sample of water for
domestic purposes. One examination
is not always sufficient to decide the
fitness Of the water, as contamination
is more likely to take place at one
time Of the year than another.
The amount of rainfall will inf1u-
ence very considerably the bacterial
contents of water from shallow wells
or poorly constructed cisterns. Dur
ing the heavy spring rains the num-
Der Of bacteria reaches an enormous
figure and decreases again as the dry
season progresses. All of the bacteria
that are found in the water are not
dangerous, but If drainage and other
conditions allow contamination from
outside sources there is always an
opportunity for the Introduction OF
disease producing germs.-Weekly

Mountain Sickness.

Every Alpine climber notes his ex-
perience in the rarefied air of nigh
altitude. All accounts of mountain
sickness agree. In every case there
are the same symptoms, differing
more or less in degrees. The head
aches. the heart palpitates, the nose
bleeds. Some vomit violently. all
gasp for breath. Every exertion
seems more severe at great heights,
and the symptoms of the sickness
are sometimes mistaken for those of
fatigue.
Doctor Workman, who has been
climbing in the Himalayas. has made
study of mountain sickness. He ex-
perienced constant gasping for
breath which interfered with sleep.
With one of his porters the symptoms
of high altitude illness were so
marked as to give warning of another
danger besides that of discomfort.
At the height of twenty-one thousand
feet the man collapsed, and was help
less. He lost all sensation in his
hands, and when his mittens were re-
moved, his fingers were found to be
white, stiff and on the point OF be-
coming frost bitten. This experience
shows the interruption of circulation,
the balance of which is lost in the re-
moval of the ordinary air pressure.

Silverin2 Mirrors.

Up to 1910 mirrors were silvered
exclusively by means of an amalgam.
a process most destructive to the
workmen employed. An important
step was effected by an English chem
sit, Drayton, who conceived the idea
of coating mirrors with thin layer
of silver, obtained by reducing an am
moniac solution of nitrate of silver
by means of highly oxidizable essen
tial oils. This process was subse-
Quently modified by several chemists,
but only became really practical when
M. Pettijean substituted tartaric acid
for the reducing agents formerly
employed. The glass to be silvered is
placed upon a horizontal cast iron
table heated to 104 degrees Fahren-
heit. The surface Is we'll cleaned,
and solutions of silver and tartaric
acid. suitably diluted, are poured
upon it. The liquid, in consequence
of a well known effect of capillarity.
does not flow over the edges, forming
a layer a fraction of an inch in thick
ness. In twenty minutes the silver
begins to be deposited on the glass,
and in an hour and quarter the pro-
cess is complete. The liquid is
poured of the glass, which is washed
with distilled water, dried and COW
cred with a varnish to preserve the
silver from friction.-New York Tri-
