New Skin Absorber
In Great Demand
(National Drug Review.)

Since the discovery that mercolizet
wax possesses remarkable absorbent
powers when applied to the skin. the
demand for II as a complexion renewei
has been tremendous. Druggists In
every section report sales as far exceed

to Prof Hoffman, gently absorbs the

so that the user gradually loses her old,
worn-out complexion, the more youthful
under-skin taking It's place. Cutaneous

and freckles are, Of course, removed at

CHINESE CUSTOMS.

It is not difficult for the western mind to make mistakes as to what is decorous behavior in China. and at Ningo-po there was recently much consternation, for it appeared as though two distinguished foreign visit ors were being taken away to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. These individuals hired two of the native sedan chairs, and whether the roofs were too low, or their hats too high. Is not stated, but they ordered the coolies to take of the tops. The coolies refused, and the visitors did 1t for themselves. and wondered very much at the excitement with which their progress was followed. especial ly as they went towards the south gate of the city. Later on they learned that to ride in a roof1es sedan chair was the distinctive mark of criminal going to decapitation. and as the usual place for such punishment was near this particular gate. the popu- lace had imagined that an execution of most unusual character was about to take place.

The deepest hole in the world up to date is the boring begun ten years ago at Czuchow.

The bore is A centimeters in diameter at the top. and diminishes progressively to five centimeters. Measurements of tenn perature have been made regularly. At 2.220 meters the temperature is S3.4 deg. c. (1S2 deg F.) This gives a "geothermic degree" tamount of des- cent corresponding to a rise of tenn perature of 1 deg. O of SIS meters.
