LARGEST OF srALAcTITE CAVES

What is described as the largest
stalactite cave in Europe was recently
discovered near Schoenbergalm, in the
Dachstein mountains, Upper Austria.
Recently party of Austrian and Hun
garian scientists spent twenty-four
hours in thoroughly exploring the
cavern. The principal tunnel was found
to extend over a mile and a quarter,
with numerous side passages of vary
ing lengths. In traversing the main
tunnel the exploring party had to cross
by rope ladders an ice crevasse rs
feet deep and more than 100 feet wide,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The cave
is divided into two levels. In the upper
were found two immense ice halls con-
tanning precipitous Subterranean
glaciers, some 300 feet long. Phenom-
email ice formations were also found
here. In the lower level was an end
less series of halls, the largest more
than 600 feet long and 100 feet high.
Traces of subterranean water courses
in the form of sand and rubble were
discovered in the main tunnels. There
were also some beautiful flowershaped
stalactites. Among the palaeontogical
discoveries made were petrified Bra
chiopoda and remains of cave bears
(ursus spelaeus).

CLOTH FOR AEROPLANES

The increase in the number of aero
planes promises, in the course of time,
to create a considerable trade in the
supply of cloth for these machines.
The cloths at present in use are mostly
fine cambrics of Egyptian or Sea
Island cotton, along with some linens.
They are treated before use with rub
ber upon one or both faces, and weigh
in general about Az ounces square
yard in the finished state. One fabric
of this weight is three ply. One fabric
between the gossamer. Its tensile
strength is quoted loosely per
yard" and given as 5000 pounds warp
and 24O0 pounds weft. Makers attach
much Importance to the strength and
lightness of their fabrics, and to their
non-absorptive properties. The gain
in weight in a saturated atmosphere
is from to IL per cent in the case or
the popular make. The prices of diff
ferent sorts and makes of cloth differ
widely and in about 40-inch goods the
aviator has a choice of rubberlZed
fabrics costing between Is cd and lis
Sd a yard. Standardized light cloth
may be got for models, and cloth suit
able for treatment with boiled oil IS
sold for man-carrying machines.

5 NERVEs--THE NATIONAL DISEASE

"a nervous breakdown is, as rule,
the result of weeks, months, even
years, of strain" says DR.. Jean Will
liams in Woman's Home Companion
for November, land at almost any
time before disaster has overtaken one
a complete change of habit, the shut
ting off of waste, the increasing of
energy-making products, perfect rest
until balance has been restored, would
save the day. But here we must ac-
knowledge the greatest difficulty. The
victims are so often blind or indiffer-
ent to their own physical deteriora-
ton until they have arrived at that
miserable state where only their own
sad condition and numerous abnormal
symptoms are of interest to them. We
witness then the appalling self-en-
grossment characteristic of so many
neurasthenics. Such patients often
fight against relief, refuse to cooper
ate with a physician or others who
try to aid and encourage them, and
feel almost insulted if symptoms of
good health or Improvement are noted.
In such cases effort must be directed
toward the mental atitudte, and at
the same time, and this is very i'm
portant, the physical basis of healthy
nervous system must be obtained"

HIS DISTINGUISHING MARK

One day big city bank received the
following message from one of it's
country correspondents: "Pay twenty
five dollars to John Smith, who will
call today" The cashiers curiosity be-
came suspicious when a cabman as
sisted into the bank a drunken fare"
who shouted that he was John Smith
and wanted some money. Two clerks
pushed, pulled and piloted the bolster
Gus individual into a private room
away from the sight and hearing of
regular depositors. The cashier wired
the country bank:
MAN claiming to be John Smith is
here. Highly intoxicated. Shall we
await identification?"
The answer read: Identification
complete. Pay the money."-Success.

THE COST OF PROGRESS

Every new invention carries evil in
its train. The British Medical Journal
points out that among distinctively
modern diseases are the poisoning pro-
duced by the fumes of calcium carbide
or acetylene; the headache, dyspepsia,
cardiac failure and sensory disturb
ances traceable to the manufacture
and use of analine dyes; the frothing
of the blood, known as casson dlsease'
which follows too rapid decomposition
in workers at the foundation of bridg-
es: the functional neurosis known as
teiegraphists' cramp, resulting from the
use of the Morse key, and the numer-
Gus affections of the skin, lungs, d1-
gestive tract and eyes due to irrita-
tion by organic and inorganic dusts
of industrial origin. This, it should
be said, by no means eXhausts the
list.

A gentleman who had the reputation
of being a bad shot invited some of
his friends to dine with him. Before
dinner he showed them a target paint
ed on the barn door with a bullet in
the bullseye. He said he had shot this
at a distance of 500 yards.
During the dinner one of the guests
asked him how he managed to fire
such an excellent shot.
"Well," said he, 81 shot the bullet
at the door at a distance of 500 yards
and then I painted the target all
around it."-Lippincott's

-
Made Of Two Powerful Explosives
kneaded Into Paste.
Cordite is the outcome Of the strange
paradox that If you mix together two
powerful explosives the result is
smokeless slow burning powder. Nj
troglycerin and gun cotton mixed to-
gether with a little petroleum jelly
make cordite. 1t is curious to see the
two deadly explosives being kneaded
together into a paste by women with
the same unconcern as dough is knead-
ed for bread. Indeed, machines SINH
lar to those used in bakeries take up
the work and knead the buff colored
cordite paste for seven hours. Then it
is forced through molds and issues in
long cords-hence the name cordite-
the thickness Of which is varied ac-
cording to the weapon in which it is
to be used.
For big guns cordite is half an inch
thick and cut into lengths Of thirty
seven inches. Rather more than a
thousand of these cordite sticks pack
ed in two bundles make up the car
fridge for a twelve inch gun. For the
rifle cordite is pressed into very thin
string, like then finest macaroni, and
sixty of these strands one inch and
half long make the neat little bundle
which lies inside the cartridge case.
For some European armies cordite is
made in fat thin strips like whale
bone. Kept away from fire, cordite
can be handled with impunity.-Lon-
don Graphic.

New drinks have sometimes a glori-
GUS and brief popularity. Lord Straf-
ford, writing to Lord Cottington in
1885, extols "bonnyclabber," which he
says lis the bravest, freshest drink
you ever tasted. Your Spanish don
would. on the heats of Madrid, hang
his nose and shake his beard an hour
over every sop he took of it and take
1t to be the drink of the gods all the
while"
No one, however. seems to know
the exact composition of the seductive
"bonnyclabber," although from an al
fusion to it by Ben .Ionson it would
seem to have been mixture of beer
and buttermilk. Chronicle.

SHE LOVED SNUFF.
Remarkable Will and Funeral of q

Remarkable Will and Funeral of a
Queer EngIishwoman.
The will of Mrs. Margaret Thomp.
son, which is preserved as a curiosity
at Somerset House, England, is trib
ute to the delights and consultations OF
snuff. The testatrix directed that in
her coffin should be buried with her all
her handkerchiefs and sufficient Of the
best Scotch snuff to cover her body
This she preferred to flowers, as moth.
ing could be more fragrant and so re.
freshing to me as that precious pow
der" Further, the six greatest snuff
takers in the parish Of st. James,
Westminster, were to be her bearers.
Six old maids, each bearing in her
hand box filed with the best Scotch
snuff to take for their refreshment as
they walked, were to bear the pail.
Before the corpse the minister was to
walk, carrying and partaking Of a
pound Of snuff. At every twenty yards
handful of snuff was to be delivered
to the bystanders, and at the door of
the testatrix's house were to be placed
two bushels of the same quality Of
snuff for gratuitous distribution. In
order to insure the carrying out Of her
wishes the testatrix made the legacies
given by the will dependent upon an
exact and literal fulfllment of the
conditions above named. In closing
she babe all concerned to regard snuff
as the grand cordial of nature.
