to danger from caveins or deleterious
gases. as In ordinary digging of deep

"rammer'-an acorn-shaped mass Of

Weighing two tons-takes the place of
the perforator. This rams the bot

Hat Wearing and pr.uohts.

Draughts In parliament are credited
with partial responsibility for MEM
bers' custom of wearing their hats.
which some. however. have even re-
garded as Inherited from the old open

ton are factors also. When IA years
ago 1t was proposed at the London
county council to start hat wearing
because Of the draughts at Spring
Gardens. the council decided not to
ape the manners of parliament"
Lord Onslow nobly declined to make
party question Of "a natural in
trinity like a bald head" Formerly
fear of draughts led to the wearing Of
hats even at dinner. though It was
good manners not to put on your hat

WASHINGTON'S FALSE TEETH

II may not be generally known that
the Father OF his Country was one Of
the first Americans to wear artificial
teeth. BY the time the war Of the
revolution had ended he had parted
company with most OF the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
physician and dentist of New York
City undertook the then unusual task
of re-equipment and produced at
length a full set OF artificial teeth
These are now. OF course. a dental Gu
riosity. and offer an additional proof
of the heroism OF the first president Of
the United States for It is a matter of
fact that General Washington wore
those teeth for many years and. so
far as we know. never complained OF
them
The teeth were carved from ivory
and riveted. wired. and clamped to a
somewhat ponderous gold plate Three

Nevertheless. Washington wore
them long and we'll; a fact sufficiently
attested by the worn and dinted con-
dition Of both teeth and plate
