The discovery Of the famous Wood
hall spa In Lincolnshire was very curl
GUS. Just about a hundred years ago
a shaft was sunk 10 search Of coal, but
the effort had TO be abandoned owing
to a rush Of water. In time the water
found its way into Q small brook. and
In due course the inhabitants began TO
speak Of the curative powers of the
stream. Science investigated the mys-
terry and discovered that the water In
the coalless shaft was richly impreg.
mated with various salts and bromlne
and iodine. Biologists expressed the
interesting opinion that ages ago the
place was the sandy bed OF shallow
lagoon or bay Of tropical sea where
seaweeds Of gIant growth abounded.
A mighty CONFUSION Of nature lowered
the sea bed, great river flowed over
the place. and In time Its debris was
formed into u mass OF spongy rock or
sa ndStone. Forcing itself through this
mass at great pressure some GOO feet
below the ground, the water now ex-
tracts the constituents Of the original
Seaweed. Family Herald.

It be until some future occasion. To
our own mind the odds are that sneez-

unpleasant one. OF course there are
people who can sneeze and not look
ridiculous, but they are few. Any one
caught Ia the act OF trying to suppress
sneeze Is terrible addition to the
