Ice as Fuel.
-om Popular Mechanics.

From Popular Mechanics.
A cake of ice at 81 degrees Fahrenheit
is ordinarily considered to be rather a
cold substance, but it is as much hotter
than liquid air as the over i'm which
bread is baked is hotter than the ice.
A tea kettle partly filled with liquid air
and placed on a cake of ice receives 80
much heat from the ice that the liquid
air soon boils vigorously. and the boiling
can be made more violent by adding q
few Jumps Of ice. II the normal tenn
perature OF the earth were at the freex-
ing point of air and we could obtain a
block of ice such as is distributed by the
iceman OF today such ice could be used
as fuel and would be put lilo the fur

Auction by Candle.

FROM Harpers Weekly.
1t would seem strange today to step
into a large auction room where furnj-
ture. wearing apparel. jewelry and knick-
knacks of every description were scat
tered around awaiting their turn to be
disposed Of according to the whims of a
burning candle.
The proceedings in a candle sale were
as follows: A piece of candle an inch
long was lighted, and the instant the
flame arose the bidding on a certain arti-
Gle began. The last bid made before the
flame expired was the lucky one.
Sometimes this was varied by dividing
the whole candle into sections. marked
off by red circles. Bids were received on
any article during the burning of one
section, and the last bidder before the
second ring was reached was the pur-
chaser.
This manner of conducting an auction
was very general during the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. The custom is
by no means obsolete, certain portions of
France and some counties Of western
England still retaining it.

The twO-masted bay schooner William
Thomas Moore of Seaford. Del, while
coming up the river to this city with
lumber yesterday, ran ashore on the
flats at the forks of the Virginia and
Washington channels, and stuck hard

to float her she remained In the mud

was worked into the channel and came
to this city to discharge. The vessel, it
is stated, was not at all injured by going

merly a frequent visitor to this city.

A Mountain of Death.
From the South China Post.

From the South China Post.
An exploration party recently assembled
Mount Taibu, one of the Hottest in For
mosa, about 1900 feet above the sea
level When the party reached the alb
original village (the Peuma tribe) half
way up the mountain they employed
twenty-one aborgines to accompany
them and continued the ascent. This
mountain is believed by the aborigines
to be mountain of death and nobody
has dared to ascend it before. The alb
or;gines being i'm great fear warned the
party not to break branches of trees nor
make loud noises nor throw stones and
finally they refused to proceed further.
In spite of this the party proceeded and
reached the summit at last. Seeing this
the aborigines were quite surprised at
the bravery of the Japanese. The noun
tain is reported to abound in valuable
trees.

Microbe Causes Lockjaw.

FROM the London Telegraph.
Lockjaw, known to medical men as
tetanus, is one OF those terrible maladies
which occasion great suffering and battle
the best attempts of the profession to
successfully treat them. Commencing with
stiffness of the jaw muscles, tetanus
quickly goes on to produce violent con-
vulsions, which utterly exhaust it's vic
TINS strength, while preventing him from
taking food, owing to his being unable
to open his mouth; hence it's more popu-
lar designation of ''lockjaw." Investiga-
tons have shown that this dreadful dis
ease is due to a microbe which commonly
exists in ordinary soil and the surface
mud of the streets, which habitat ex-
plains the reason why tetanus frequently
attacks persons who have been injured
in street accidents and had their wounds
contaminated with refuse and dust from
the roadway. Although no. certain cure
for tetanus is yet known, progress is
being made with injections of "anti-te-

Ancient property" Teeth.

From the New York Medical Journal
The artificial teeth of ivory, bone or
wood found while making archaeological
explorations seem to have been designed
for cosmetic purposes exclusively. Like
stage props they were meant to be
gazed upon: to fill the eye, to lend en-
chantment to a smile, they masqueraded
efficiently, but when the owner got down
to the serious business of eating they
were removed.

Money Easier Abroad.

Another encouraging feature for those
who are hoping for further expansion in
the sale of our securities abroad lay in
the fact that the contango or lOaning rate

manded at the last carry over, indicating
an easier condition of money across the

The Musbers.

From the Nevy York, Sun.
In the life. of speech as in the lie OF
men who speak it Instances might be
multiplied where thS lowly have peen
exalted and the Rightly have been put
down from their seat. Few instances OF
the deposition of them of high degree
show such an interesting history as the
word "musher" which appears in the
current history Of the scaling of Mount
Mckinley: "The ten men of the party
were experienced mushers, but none was
a scientist"
From the packers on ~ frozen trails
of Alaska to the fervent Reds of the Midi
is a far cry. But the distance may read
lily be bridged Recall Rouget de Lisle
and the triumphant condemnation OF the
Marseillaise:
AUX armes, citoyens!
Former vos battaliOns!
Marchons! Marchons.
Men Of the same blood were the first
to adventure the craggy wilderness OF
Canada, the voyageurs of the Hudson
Bay Company, the coureurs du bois.
Wherever they went along the rivers
and portages, painfully tracing out the
Indian trails, they carried with them
the vivacity of their speech, instinct ever
with courage, forward into the unknown.
Wherever their speech rested in passing
some Of it was left behind in the posses
sion of Indian and breed. Thus the In
dian of the Puget Sound country learned
to know himself as Siwash. French sauv-
age on rude lips. Best of all these French
words left to the forest savage was the
courageous word of every trail. the word
that carried the voyageur over countless
difficulties, marchonS!
The ignorance of the Indian and the
breed transformed marchons into mushon,
but its instinct Of hope was never lost; it
remained the trail word that .scorned
danger and mastered the rough road.
Next came the Americans, called by
the lure of gold to essay the SHOWS and
the mountain heights that barred but
could not block the way to the Yukon.
In grammar as unconfined as the Indians
themselves the travellers Of the gold trail
mistook mushon: they thought it verb
with separable proposition. even as come
on" by which they translated it.
"Mushon." called the Indian guide
where the pass rose steepest
well, amt we mushing on:' the CHEEKY
response.
Thence the progress of the loan word
was easy. To mush became verb in
Alaskan English; musher is it's noun of
agent, according to the habit of our
speech. which when it grasps grips hard.
After all Rouget De I.isle is not far
away.
