CENTER Of THE EARTH.
Il May 30 q Mighty Mass Of Moltsn
Precious Metals.

Precious Metals
Did you ever stop to consider the
fact that in all probability the center
Of the earth Is a globe composed OF
gold. iridium and platinum? These
metals are. Of course. in liquid state
the iridium Mt the exact center-that Is
provided there is not some heavier
metal at present unknown to man oc'
cupying that place-the platinum next
and the gold surrounding the other
two.
"But," you say, what proof have we
that this proposition is correctT
In answer would say:
1.-TWO proofs. and perhaps more"
First, the three metals are the heav.
lest known substances. compared bulk
for bulk. This being the case. they
would naturally be attracted to the
center of our planet In the beginning
the earth was liquid. II not gaseous
In either case the heavy metals men
toned were held in solution. By grad
ual condensation the metals settled to
the center. iridium first, platinum next
and gold last.
Ages ago. when the crust Of the earth
was thin-very thin-all Of the gold
now known was thrown out in volcan
ic eruptions. This last mentioned fact
Is the second reason for believing that
our globe has golden center. woven
around q nucleus Of iridium and plat
mum.
A third reason for believing thai
there is gold at the center is this: The
earth as a whole weighs FIVE times as
much as q globe of water Of the same
bulk, while the rocks forming the out
er crust are less than three times as
heavy as water.-St. Louis Globe Dem

4 City With No chlmnsys and Whsrs

Travellers in South America see many
strange places, but the queerest OF all
IL probably Quito. the capital Of the
republic of Ecuador. The first thing
which strikes a visitor to that city II
that there are no chimneys to the
houses.
Charcoal Is all that IL burned there.
and consequently no smoke arises. An
other peculiarly II that while the
streets are well paved you may pass
days in the city and never see wheel.
ed vehicle.
There are some carriages in Quito,
but they are rarely used, and when
one of them comes rattllng along ev.
erybody turns out to look at It as at
some curiosity.
A third peculiarly is that while the
bulk of the population dress in ponchos
"a kind Of cloak or loose garment) and
short linen trousers considerable
number Of people-white men-are to
be seen walking about and wearing
frock coats and tall hats. These men,
the visitor IL generally told. are en-.
lightened and cultivated men. natives
Of Spanish origin. who claim that they
form the nation Of Ecuadorlans. In
dams. Of course, do not count.
Every white man in Quito who can
possibly manage 1t wears this sort OF
coat and hat to emphasize his impor
lance and highly civilized condition.
This dress justif1es him In calling
himself doctor and others In 30 styling
him. and he also thinks that 1t gives
him a claim to come into your apart
ments without being invited and try
to borrow cents from you.

A Pet Economy.

At first blush it may not seem such,
but experience has proved that en-
broidering the initial on all towels and
napkins is great economy. Whether
the laundry work Is done at home or at
the steam laundry, there is great respect
for what the girl at the laundry called
"Hand embroidered napkins" l vary
the initial on each set of napkins or
towels, and thus keep each set together,
and keep track of the dozen.
Where napkins are sent ont with
dainies for sick friends, they are sure to
"come back" The laundress takes
more pains with napkin with the en-
broidered initial than she would with
one of twice it's value without the en-
broidery. The work Is not much
trouble. select simple letters-and the
act of emboidering Is wonderfully sootb
ing 10 the nerves, If one will make 1t 80.

FIRE IN THE HOLD.

Vessels At Sea- Are often smoIdsrins
Furnaces Below Dseks.
SmUidering fires on board ship are
common enough and In many cases
are comparatively harmless. They arise
mostly from spontaneous combustion
caused by pilIng large quantities OF
coal In close quarters
It is said on excellent authority that
there il not much danger from such
FIRE, hardly any on an iron or steel
ship. The first protective measure In
such an event IL to exclude the air. 30

the bunker is flooded with water. which
usually serves to extinquish It
Even In wooden ships the danger
from smoldering fire is not half 80
great as has been pictured by nom
seagoing folk. This is illustrated by
the experience Of the captain OF the
Twin Brothers. engaged some years
ago In the wheat trade between San
Francisco and Liverpool. The vessel
was returning from Liverpool with a
thousand tons of coal In the hold as
ballast. Just after It rounded Cape
Horn It was discovered that the coal
was on fire.
There was steam pump on board.
and after closing the lower matches
the crew flooded the hold until the
ship had settled about four feet low
er In the water. Then the captain
stood pat and let her burn. No one
was frightened. and every one was con
fident that the ship would be safely
brought into port. Call was made al
VALPARAISO for fresh water and pro-
visions. but not man deserted.
The vessel was seventy.two days In
reaching San Francisco from the Horn
and all that time the coal burned. and
little streams Of smoke could be seen
coming through the cracks In the deck
Arriving at San Francisco. the Twin
Brothers sailed out on the mud fats
and was flooded until she settled al
most even with her upper deck. This
extingulshed the fire.
The appearance Of the vessel aftel
all this was pretty fair evidence what
a ship may sustain in the way OF
fire. In n dozen places the bottom nae
burned through. and all that was be
tween the crew and the deep sea was
the thin sheet of copper bottom. The
weight of the coal and the pressure OF
the water kept about equal strain or

lurinu the Beaver.

Beavers when they have been undis'
turbed for long are very curious In re-
lation to strange sounds. They will
come swimming out Of their house
even at the firing Of a gun. The In
dams usually call them with kissing
noise or one produced by munching the
lips. Another favorite tole Is sound
made by tapping the trousers with the
hand. The most successful beaver call
er in Newfoundland killed great num-
bers Of beavers in the open season by
making a sound that resembled the
cutting of chips of a tree. 1t Is said
that the unfortunate beavers never fail
to respond to this noise.
