PUNCH MIXED IN FOUNTAIN
Modern Extravagance Was outdone by
Edward Russell, British Com
mander, In 1891.

Soapbox orators pirate persistent
ly of modern lavishness and splen-
dor and tell listeners that cit is
growing worse all the time" What
would they say if they heard of a
punch that required:
'Four hogsheads of brandy, a
pipe of Malaga, eight hogsheads of
water, five pounds of grated nut
megs, three hundred toasted biscuits
and thirteen hundred-weight of fine
white sugar?"
These ingredients are quoted from
a publication called the Caterer.
This punch, the Caterer tells us, was
mixed in a fountain basin at Ali
cante for six thousand guests of the
Rt. Hon. Edward Russell when that
soldier in 1851 commanded the
British forces in the Mediterranean.
This punch should knock out
some of the soapbox charges that the
world CONTINUALLY is growing more
extravagant. =

Mr.. Sprouse came over from
Springfield and was in personal
charge and a dozen statesmen were
busy waiting on the delighted GUS
toners. This company has already
firmly established itself as one Of
the city's biggest mercantile con-

! SILK MADE OF HoRsEFLEsH.

German chemists are reported to
have succeeded in utilizing fibrous
animal refuse such as the flesh of
dead horses-for making artificial
silk. Treatment with acids disin-
tegrates the flesh into its ultimate
fbers, and these are given silky APP
p@rance, with great durability, by
kind of tanning process. The
threads produced greatly resemble
those of the wild silkworm, are about
two inches long. They may be vul-
canized like true silk, and can be
made alright and watertight by inn
mersion for a couple of hours in
caoutchouc bath under a pressure Of
four atmospheres. The material
seems to promise something cheaper
than silk for balloon envelopes, insu-
lation, etc., though attempts to spin
the flbers into thread have not yet
been successful.

SUICIDES IN AUSTRIAN ARMY
Official Statistics Show 2,614 In the
Last Ten Years-MIIltary Men
Are Alarmed.

A surprisingly high percentage OF
suicides in the Austrian army is re-
vealed by official statistics Just pub
lished. These show that 1914 sui
cides and $50 attempts at suicide of
officers and enlisted men have oc-
CURED in the last ten years.
The figures are the highest for
any army in Europe and the proper
ton is sixteen times greater than
that of the total suicides in the en-
tire population Of the monarchy.
Motives were ascertainable in only
Aabout half the cases. The records
show that the most frequent causes
were fear of punishment, love af-
fairs, unwillingness to serve in the
army and i'll treatment.
The higher number of suicides is
all the more remarkable because it
is generally considered that Austrian
soldiers are well treated in compare
son with those in some of the other
European countries.

ST. KILDA's INHABITANTS.

Islanders of st. Kilda, in the At.
lantic, off the coast of Scotland
were saved from privation last
spring by the arrival of the British
cruiser with stores. They were more
fortunate than the colony of fisher
folk on the arctic island of Nova
Zembla in 1911. For ten months it
had been impossible to open up COM
munication with the island, and
when at last a steamer arrived with
provisions every one of the inhabi-
tants was dead of starvation. The
last man to die had left penciled
message telling how the wool from
the clothing had been eaten, and that
two men who ate of the flesh of their
dead companions died. All the chill
dren were dead and only two women
and three men besides himself left
alive. A tragic postscript added:
81, Chenoff, am now the only person
living. My hands shake, by eyes are
growing dim, and feel the end is
near" And after that the impene-
trable veil.
