Various conjectures have been made
from time TO time by biologists as to
the possible condition of the center of
the earth One of the most popular
impressions seems to be that the
earth's center. or core. is a flaming
furnace. At a meeting of the Seis
biological association at The Hague
studies Of the varying velocity of
earthquake tremors passing through
the interior of the globe have led him
to the conclusion that the earth con

lying a little less than twenty miles
below the surface of the earth.
Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth below
the reach of miners. but experts now
aver that there is little or no ground
to believe that any valuable metallil
deposits lie very deep in the earth's
crust regardless of Professor Wei
cbert's beliefs to the contrary. Such
deposits. it is said. are made by under
ground waters, and owing to the pres
sure on the rocks at great depths the
waters are confined to a shell near the
surface. With few exceptions ore de

If you wish to find out whether the
material sold to you as all wool or all
silk is really so make 5 per cent So
luton of caustic potash and in this
boil your sample of silk or wool. If
the entire sample is consumed in the
boiling your material is what it pre-
tends to be: if there is a residue that
residue is cotton. The caustic solution
consumes the animal fibers.
If you wish to find out whether the
silk that seems to be heavy silk is
weighted with mineral burn the SAM
pie and the ash will show you how
much mineral weighing there is. The
pure silk will be wholly consumed.
In buying supposed linen goods of
toweling or suiting, dip your sample
into concentrated sulphuric acid for
two minutes and wash ii out carefully.
The cotton will have been consumed.
the linen will have resisted the action
of the acid. This test is one that

DEFIEp THE COMMODORE.
Pinkham Was Insubordinate, bur He

Reuben Pinkham. a native of Nam

thirties. Pinkham had been on sew

''The Island of Nantucket" says that
one day. near sunset. he had the
watch. while the commodore was pac-
Ing up and down the deck.
Suddenly Pinkham gave the order.

Of you" called out Pinkham. and the
men resumed their grasp. The CON-

claimed in peremptory tones:

again the braces were dropped
Don't any of you dare to drop the
ropes!" shouted Pinkham. shaking his
trumpet at the crew. who once more
took hold. just then the wind dropped

To Stop Hiccouuhs.

Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar, says the
New York Medical Journal Pulling
the tongue forward and holding it for
some time is an effective procedure
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole. so that his feet do not touch
the floor. With all the abdomina'
muscles tense. have him hold biz
breath as long as possible. Sneezine
is very efficient in certain cases. since
it is the exact opposite to hiccough
being n sudden exploratory act.

PURE FOOD LABELS.

as the Year $50 3. C.
Professor George A. Reisner of Har-
ward university discovered r among
some speciments of earliest Hebrew
writing in the excavations Of the city
Of Samaria, in Palestine. a most inter-
esting record of the first pure food
laws in history. He also found an
cient writings dealing with the first
instance on record of the keeping of
wines in government warehouse un-
der bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab. $50 B. c., these inscriptions are
considered to be one Of the greatest
finds of the Harvard Palestinian ex-
petitions which delved INFO the city Of
Ahab and .Omr. for three years. They
found labels on wine and oil jars.
These mention the year in which the
wine was laid down in the cellars CT
the palace storehouse, and they state
the vineyard from which the wine
came. important facts that are rec0g-
nized equally well by winners today.
On the oil jars the label runs. "A jar
of pure OIL" with the mention Of the
district from which the oil came. The
bits Of pottery on which the descrip-
tons were written were not parts Of
the jars, but were evidently intended
to be attached to the necks of the re-
ceptacles. just as are labels or seals
at the present time.-New York World

SWITCHED THEIR VOTES.
The incident That Won Tom Corwin's
First Fight For Congress.


when | saw the oil painting of Tom
Oorwin in the treasury" said an Ohio
man. II could not but recall the story
told in Corwin's old home of Lebanon
of how he won his first election TO
congress. He was young mau and
already noted as an orator. but he
had hard district and little encour
agement for election He was making
his tour of the counties and one night
stopped at the double cabin of a farm
er known To be very fervent advO-
cate of political policies of the OppO-
sftion. Corwin talked politics care
fully with the old man and his sons
before bedtime. but had little hope of
winning a single vote in the house
hold. In the morning the old man
took Corwin outside and announced
that every voter in the family would
be for him Oh election day. This
astOnished and delighted Corwin. wtO
could not help but ask why the sudden
change of heart.
THE old man told how the opposition
candidate had stopped at his house
one night the week before aud how
the host and wife had watched the
candidate go TO bed. To their disgust.
he actually put on nightgOwn like
those worn by woman. This dis
gusted the rugged old pioneer. Then
Corwin was told how the old farmer
and his wife had watched him go to
bed. and as he had not bothered about
q nightie they determined be was not
taken TO frills. Corwin could see the
humor of the incident. and in every
succeeding speech be told that night
shirt story on the other candidate
holding him up TO scorn. The result
was victory for Corwin. and he
owed it all to that story OF a shirt
