Al the present time ~ are familiar

intended tor divers purposes. but some
oe the old.fashioned ones are certain.

the long. marrow spoon. used couple
decades ago for the extraction Of mar.
row from bones. This spoon was made
double. one end being employed for
small bones and the other for those
Of larger bore.
Another odd sroon vas used for
mulberries. This had q perforated
bowl. and with this . little sugar was
sprinkled on the berry. which was
then conveyed to the mouth on the
spiked end Of the handle.
Very few caddie-spoons are seen
these days. Teaspoons Of the old type
have long since gone their way. and
with them disappeared the rsddie-
spoon. The snun. candle and Pep
spoons have long since gone out Of

origin of the Word Canada,

On April 20, 1854, jacques Cartier
sailed from st, Malo, Brittany. with
two ships and sixty-one men for Lab
rador, sllirted Newfoundland, named
Chaleur bay, crossed the eastern end
of Anticosti and then headed for
France again, The next year Cartier
returned with three ships, thought he
saw in the st. Lawrence the wished
for passage to India and was only un-
deceived by the freshness of the wa.
ter on reaching the mouth Of the Sa-
guenay. Then was revealed the ma
jestic size Of the continent, for, with
the exception of the Amazon and the
Orinoco, no American river gives one
such a sense of power and grandeur.

OF the Indian villages along the banks

The Occan,s Ane.

The ocean, OF course is not as old as
the earth, because It could not be
formed until the surface OF the globe
had sufficiently cooled to retain water
upon 1t, but it seems chimerical to try
to measure the age OF the sea. Never
theless Professor Jolly undertook the
task, basing his estimate upon the
ratio OF the amount of sodium ii con-
tains to that annually contributed by
the washing from the continents. He
thus reached the conclusion that the
ocean has been in existence between
100000 and 17o,eoo,ooo years. This
does not seem very definite determi-
nation. but then in geology estimates
Of time in years are extremely difficult
because of the uncertainty of the ele-
ments Of the calculation. The most
that can be said for such results is
that they are probable.

The dean of ST. Patrick's, Dublin,

Illustrated by this fashion note" from
West Africa taken from an Italian
newspaper:
For some time the officials of the
German colony in Southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories Of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
dliigent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts Of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange pre-
objections for articles Of German COM
merce. as. for example. rubber heels.
carriers. buckles. and so forth. things
which the natives of those countries do
not generally use.
The governor Of the colony gave an
entertainment one year in honor of
the emperor's birthday and invited the
chiefs Of the different tribes to it.
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious necks The
higher the dignity the more rings of
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages, and it came to light
that the white china insulators of the
telegraph poles had become earrings.
A young lady Of the highest distinc-
ton in native society wore rubber
heel hanging from her nose. and a
young man who was well known
dandy wore dangling from his ears a
pair of beautiful pink silk carriers.

A UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
Boiling and Freezing Water at the
Same Time.

Same inne.
The possibility of boiling and freez-
ing water at the same time in the lab
oratory is one Of the most interesting
developments of modern science. The
temperature at which water boils de-
ponds simply on the air pressure above
Its surface at the time. If there is
high pressure the water has to be
made a good deal hotter to boil than
at low pressure.
On mountains where the air pressure
is good deal lower than at sea level
water boils easily at low Temperature
In cooking vegetables that require a
certain degree of heat and where the
water boils before that degree is reach
ed the vegetables will not get done
They consequently have to be put into
a closed boiler so that the generated
steam will create enough pressure for
the water to boil at or beyond the re-
quired temperature In the expert
mental proof of this fact water is
placed in vessel and the air ex-
hausted from above the surface of the
water. AS the process of pumping
goes on the water will violently boil
the steam congealing on the sides Of
the exhaust vessel If the pumping Is
continued long enough and the outside
is cooled below the freezing point Of
water the water will continue to boil
and bubble till it is frozen into j
snowy mass Of ice
This fact is also made use of in talk
ing a rough test of the height Of
mountain. Ordinarily at sea level
where the pressure is about thirty
inches of mercury water boils at 2l2
degrees F. Now. if it is noticed that
at a certain place it boils at few
degrees lower the height Of that place
can be easily aseertained by CON-
parison with table made out for this
purpose. In general for every degree
the boiling takes place under PIP "A
height of about 500 feet is counted
OF course these principles do not alp
ply to water alone. but are characters

THE HORSE WON.


q Race With Locomotive When Rail-
roads Mere New.
In 1922 the first charter was obtain
ed for a railroad in the United States.
1t was for line from Philadelphia to
point on the SusQuehanna river. but
was never built On the announce
ment of the project some one asked
one of the Baltimore newspapers.
GWhat is a railroad. anyhow The
editor was forced to reply that he did
not know, but that perhaps some 9th
er correspondent can tell
Seven years later on the little wood
en- track along the Lackawanna creek
the first locomotive had its trial. The
experiment was far from successful.
and for q number of years afterward
the trains on most of the railroads con-
tnued to be drawn by horses. The
first locomotive on the Baltimore and
Ohio had sails attached So did the
cars. These sails were hoisted when
the wind was in the right direction so
as to help the locomotive
The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses was very bitter In August.
1880, an actual trial Of speed was held
between horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives which did not result in
favor of the locomotive The race was
on the Baltimore and Ohio. the loco
motive being one built by Peter Coop
er, who also acted as engine driver
The horse. a gallant gray was in the
habit of pulling car on a track paral-
lei to that used by the locomotive. At
first the gray had the better of the
race, but when he was a quarter of a
mile ahead Mr.. Cooper succeeded in
getting up enough steam to pass the
horse amid terrific applause.
AT that moment q band slipped from
a pulley, and though Mr. Cooper lac
Grated his hands trying to replace it
the engine stopped, the horse passed it
and came in the winner
As there Were no brakes on the ear
~ trains. they used to stop and to
start with jolts which threw the pas
sengerS across the car. The coupling
was with chains. having two or three
feet of slack. which the engine in
starting took up with a series of fierce
jerks. The shock on stopping was
even worse and never failed to send
| the passengers flying"
There were no whistles in the old
| days. Signals We're given by pushing
| up the valve on the dome by hand and
letting the steam escape with a loud
| Kissing noise. On the New Castle and
Frenchtewn railroad when the signal
was heard the slaves around the sta,
| ton would rush to the arriving train
seize hold Of it and pull back with all
their might while the agent stuck q
piece of wood through wheel.
There Were so many collisions and
explosions that some southern rail
roads introduced what they called q
barrier car between the locomotive and
the passenger coaches OF the train
This barrier car consisted of Il plat
| form on wheels upon which Were piled
| six bales of cotton, and it was claimed
1t would safeguard the passengers il
two ways-it would protect them from
the blowing up Of the locomotive and
would form u soft cushion upon which
the passengers could land in the event
OF a collision. There is no record OF
how this experiment worked out
