Two Freaks Of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of nature are
the Island Of Fire and the Lake of
Snow. The Island of Fire is called
the Home Of Hot Devils. It Is situat-
ed in the midst Of large lake of boil
ing mud in the island of Java. The
steam and gases which arise from the
sticky mud form themselves into bub-
bles attaining a diameter of five or six
feet and sailing high up in the air like
balloons, carried hither and thither by
the wind and finally exploding with a
loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit Of Hispar pass, in the Ka-
rakoran range. It is more than 300
square miles in area. In Switzerland
the sea of ice might better be called
the sea Of snow, as the surface is bro.
ken up by solar heat, which makes a
minute assuring In the ice, giving it
the appearance Of snow.

Apples Without Cores.

Almost everybody has heard the sto-
~ Of the boy who asked his compan-
ion for the core Of his apple, to which
request the companion made the his
toric remark, There amt goin' to be
no core" Now, Justice of the Peace
David Barb of Clifford, Bartholomew
county. has an apple tree, and that tree
bears apples. Should any person ask
for the core of an apple from the tree
he would be doomed to disappoint-
Inent, because the apples do not have
cores. Justice Barb has brought some
Of the apples to this city and exhibited
them. He says the tree that bears the
apples never blooms in spring, but
through some freak process it bears
apples the same as other trees. These
apples are without a core, and they
are also seedless.-Columbus Cor. In.

Old Postal Rates.

The high postal rates that prevailed
in the earlier years of the last cen
fury made the transmission Of letter
or parcel matter of serious moment.
"a packet weighing thirty-two ounces
was once sent from Deal to London"
writes Mrs. Eleanor Smyth in her life
Of Sir Rowland Hill. "The postage
was over f6, being = four times
as much as the charge for an inside
place by the coach. Again. parcel Of
official papers small enough to slip
inside an ordinary pocket was sent
from Dublin to another Irish town adj
dressed to Sir John Burgoyne. By
mistake it was charged as letter in
stead Of as a parcel and cost ELL. For
that amount the whole mail coach ply
ing between the two towns with places
for seven passengers and their, lug
gage might have been hired."-London

The Hoop Pole Man.

The Maine hoop pole man makes
even better wages than his brother, the
gum picker. The hoop pole man fol-
lows along the wake Of the loggers.
He BARRIERS the face of the hillside of
stuff that no one else wants. He is
after the second growth, as the young
birch and ash are called which spring
up around the rotting stumps Of great
trees. The hoop pole man takes a
horse with him on his tours. He cuts
the poles and the horse hauls them to
camp by daylight. Evenings the pole
man fashions the hoops with draw
shave, sitting beside roaring fire and
pulling at his black pipe. Sometimes
the poles are sold round, but the har-
vester who trims his own stuff and
shaves the hoops receives 2 or 8 cents
each for the finished product, and that
pays.-Belfast Republican Journal.

The southern army. marching across

live upon the country.
Apples. chestnuts and persimmons
were plenty, but the army had strict
orders not to depredate upon private
property. One day / was trudging
along In the rear Of General Gran.

road General Cleburne sitting on the
top rail Of fence, while below him
lay FIVE or six bushels Of flne red ap.

could look.

PIANO HARDWARE.
Men Who Buy Parts and Repair Their

Men Who Buy Parts and Repair Their
Instruments at Home.
Ones notion Of piano hardware is
likely to be that it is material of vari-
GUS sorts used in the manufacture and
repair Of pianos, an idea that would
be in the main correct, but at the
same time there is more or less of
such material sold at retail to private
owners Of pianos who may be skilled
in the use Of tools and who undertake
to do their own repairing to save ex-
pense, and such purchasers may in.
clude men who have no knowledge of
music, though they may have the me-
chanical expertness required for the
Job.
Obviously no great skill is required
In replacing broken caster. A man
can buy single caster and put it on
himself If he wants to, or he could in
like manner replace broken hinge or
a screw, and he can buy any of these
things. But the home repairer does
more ambitious work stiil-as, for in
stance, he may replace a broken wire.
He can buy piano wire Of precisely
the right gauge, and he may under
take this Job and get away with it, or
he may replace one or more broken
keys or hammers. Not long since a
man who had bought pretty well
worn secondhand piano for SIS bought
for 1t a complete new set Of hammers,
which he put on himself.
Only men of real skill can do such
Jobs as this, but in town Of this size
there are enough men who do their
own piano repairing to make it pay to
keep piano hardware on sale at retail.

THE RIDDLE Of CANCER.
New Thsoriss About the pissass an
the Search For . Cure.

New Iheortoe About the Ot0oaso ana
the Search For Cure.
More has been learned about cancer
during the last ten years than during
the previous ten centuries, which is
only another way Of saying during the
entire history Of medicine. 1t has been
negative. It is true. but the work Of
elimination has now been completed.
We are at last on the right track.
One after another Of the old theories
Of its origin has been eliminated. II
has been suggested that it is caused
by eating fish or flesh or tomatoes or
cheese, or what not. But facts do not
support any Of these theories. It was
once supposed to be white mans dis
ease and not to be found among the
uncivilized. That is now known not
to be the case. It is found among all
races, to- less degree among the un-
civilized, but nevertheless among them.
All vertebrates are subject to it. It Is
not now thought to be hereditary, con-
genital or ordinarily communicable.
What, then, is it? BY careful study
Of infected mice and rats the theory
has been evolved that cancer Is due to
independent cellular activity. Cancer
Is not something that comes into the
body from the outside. It is some
thing which grows up from the inside.
It is as though certain cells Of the
body grew up and went wrong, as
though certain soldiers in the army
turned traitors and fought their own
brothers. Why this is SO we do not
yet know.
There has been found in some ami
mails a natural immunity from cancer.
and that immunity can be artihcially
induced. This immunity is either &C.
tive or passive. The Croker fund
has found it possible to immunize ami.
mails by injections Of killed cancer
cells prepared in such manner as to
leave intact the active substances.
Moreover, cases Of spontaneous recov.
cry OF human patients are known to
exist. Why did they recover? They
can only be accounted for If such q
thing as immunity does really exist.
The problem is to find out what this
immunity is and how to produce 1t.
Its existence is certain. DR.. Enrich,
for instance. has done much in the
study of artifcially produced immu-
nifty from cancer in small animals.
He has found that If mice are inocu.
lated with an inactive strain of cancer
they throw it off, and later If an &C.
tive cancer strain is inoculated they
have acquired immunity from it.
Almost any time now one may hear
that some one has at last read this rid.

cry, was about half a mile northeast
Of Rouse's Point, N. T., not far from
the foot Of Lake Champlain. Popular.
~ It was known as "Fort Blunder.' -
1t appears that after the war Of 1912
our government felt the necessity Of
guarding the entrance to Lake Cham.
plain. Accordingly in 1916 was begun
the erection Of Fort Montgomery. The
original notion was to construct q
great fort. In those days that meant
a fort with three tiers Of guns.
When the work had been In hand
for some time It was discovered that,
owing to an error Of early surveyors,
the actual boundary between New
York and Canada, the forty-fifth par.
allel Of north latitude, passed south OF
the fort. Work on the fort was sus.
pended for about twenty-five years,
and not until the year 1912 was the
territory restored to the United States
The agreement known as the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty, establishing the
northeastern boundary, made the line
between New York and Canada con.
form to the old and incorrect early
survey. Thus "Fort Blunder" was
again on United States territory. The
people Of Maine, it is said, never quite
forgave Daniel Webster for giving up
as they claimed he did, a great slice Of
territory to which they thought them
selves entitled in order to save Rouse's
Point.
After the boundary question was set
tied the fort was finished, but it was
never manned by more than sufficient
men to keep it in order, and it was
never armed.-Harper's Weekly.
