SPECIAL ROPE FOR CLIMBERS
Those Used In the Alps Are Selected
for Strength, Reliability and
Liehtness.

The rope used by Alpine climbers is
of special manufacture, combining as
far as possible the different qualities
of strength, fexibility and lightness.
Three qualities are in general use,
being made from sisal, Italian and
Manila hemps respectively, and occa-
sionally, when cost is not considera-
ton, Of Silk The latter, though very
light and strong, is not so durable as
the others. That which finds most ia
vor among British mountaineeers is
known as Buckingham's Alpine rope.
1t is made of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1854 committee of the
Alpine club made tests upon number
of ropes suitable for mountaineering.
OF the two that were approved one
was made of Italian hemp and the
other of Manila They both had q
breaking strain of two tons and sus-
tanned the weight of 170-pound man
after falling from a height Of ten feet
Observation-Disclosures have sometimes
considered this insufficient, but it is
highly problematical whether the hui
man anatomy could survive the sud
den compression Of thin rope arts
ing from any greater fall.-Fry's Mag

False Teeth an italian Invention.

False Teeth an italian INVENTION
No doubt the statement of firm OF
manufacturers that they sell over H.
100000 false teeth a year, is we'll
founded, since everyone uses them
these days. It seems, however, to re
call to memory the fact that the u
of artificial teeth is just little over
hundred years old.
The first successful maker was Gus
sepangelo Fonzi, an Italian dentist
who started practice in Paris in 1913,
and, thanks to his skillful treatment
of Lucien Bonaparte, soon made his
way. After years of experiment he
discovered the substance from which
artificial teeth are still made, and re-
ceived the gold medal of the French
Academy of Science. One of the earii-
eat persons fitted with false teeth was
the empress of Russia. After Water
loo Fonzi migrated to London, and
then to Madrid, where Ferdinand VII.
of Spain, rewarded him with a yearly
pension of a thousand ducats for q
set of false teeth.

Music to Lure Fish.

Two Pennsylvania disciples of Izaak
Walton have just invented must
cal minnow for bass fishing. The new
device is described as a wooden min
now, and instead of the usual spinner
in front there is carved out the face
Of a pretty girl. In front of the face
is a miniature electric light, the pow
err for which is furnished by dry bat
terry carried in the pocket of the fish
ermen, to throw light on the bait,
which hangs on the under side.
The minnow is painted red, and
within it is a tiny musical box, the
playing of which is regulated by the
fisherman before. he casts his line.
The inventors say they adopted the
idea because they have found while
fishing that bass are attracted by the
ringing of COW bell.-Evening Stan

FUT BAN Oil MOSQUITOES
This Story Should Convince sksptlss
as to Size and Feroeity Of the
New Jersey Species.

A struggling young artist in New
York who, last summer. felt in and
respondent. decided that II he were
to accomplish anything during the
coming winter, he must have a vaca-
ton in the country. Accordingly. he
repaired to a New Jersey resort in
the hope of being able to obtain re-
duced rates.
Well" said the old chap, who ran
the place, Il can't see why / should
take you for less money than the
others; but l tell you what I'll do.
You paint me a nice, fancy picture
Of the hotel and grounds, and I'll give
you months board"
The young artist set cheerfully
about the task. In a short while he
submitted for his hosts approval a
highly idealized picture of the little
house and its grounds. To one of
the outbuildings he had added a dove
cote, round which several birds, which
the discerning eye might have seen
were doves, were lowering.
The landlord didn't think much of
this effort THE picture as a whole,
said he, "ain't half bad, but | can't
stand for these mosquitoes. You must
paint them out, or the bargains off.
They're calculated to scare folks of
instead of attraction them here. -

LIKE CANCEL AT THE GATE"
swlnburne In Gorgeous Array, APP
Peared TO Simple Villagers as
Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story of Swinburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge Of a country
parish in Essex. He arrived there on
a Saturday and was excused attend
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
1t a glorious morning he arrayed him
self in scarlet slippers and a light
crimson dressing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the Fato, with his red hair flaming bril-
liantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the paTishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none Of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to a halt
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance Of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii
lage bolted past the gate and the rest
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaz-
ing at them in quiet wonder at their
strange method of going to church,

TTere Is q little life story that more

less than fifteen was discovered along

he was barely thirteen, he surreptiti-

With this money in his possession he
went to Brussels, where he was short

Taken back a second time, he was ap-
prenticed to farmer, but promptly de-
parted on fresh adventures. Since then
he has existed by means of begging

Widows Three Tests,

A smart widow at country house
was telling the other day that there
were three courses through which
every woman should put a man before
she married him. These were eating,
laughing and kissing. "a mans laugh
tells lot" she said. IF it is hearty
and merry he is good tempered; if loud
and empty it means he lacks feeling.
