Digging For Pipe Bowls.

Mccrschaum is extracted in pre- cisely the same way as coal. Pits from twenty-five feet to 125 feet deep are dug, and as soon as the vein is struck horizontal galleries, sometimes of considerable length, are made, though more than two galleries are seldom to be found in one pit. When taken out of the mine mecrschaum is soft enough to be easily cut with knife. It is embedded in d layer of red clay sev- eral inches thick, and in this state it is sold to the dealers.-I.ondon Globe.

TRAVELLING IN LAPLAND.
rrips on Reindeer Sledses Are at
 Times Journeys to Death.

bW0O voOtu0Jo " ASassIs
 Concerning the experience one undergoes while travelling in Lap land sledgc a writer says: "The Lap tander's pulka is very curious con- veyance. It is d canoe shaped wood- en siedge and very difficult to manipulate. Before a Lapp can take drive the reindeer has to be caught. Harnessing is strenuous performance, as the creature is usually wild with fright and plunges and kicks considerably. His har- ness consists of belt made of the skin of some former brother or friend, one rein, which is fastened around his nose, and the pulka is attached and drawn by means of a single trace. They evidently find it a very difficult task to drive. In fact, the reindeer always appears to go where, when and how he pleases. The Lapp hangs on to the poor, un- fortunate animals neck while his passenger scrambles in. This is generally q somewhat nasty per formance and usually only half per formed when, with wild whoop, the little Lapp hurls himself on to the front of the sledge, the reindeer makes d wild plunge, and the mad rush begins.
 F'Tn and out the poor, wild crea- turc dashes, as if to free himself from the hindering encumbrance which continually cbafes him, first on one side and then on the other. If driver and passenger are skillful in the art of tobogganing and man. age to remain in the pulka the reindeer soon decides that his bur den is not to be got rid of, and he settles down into a more or less steady stride, and then the scnsa- ton is delightful and like nothing else on earth. They are very fleet animals and appear to fly. Their feet, being somewhat after the pat tern of the camel, splay out on the snow, and thus they are enabled to travel at great speed and tremen- dous distances without fatigue.
 lowing to its shape the pulka is very liable to upset, even with ex- pert driving, and when the acci- dent occurs the driver has to be careful not to let the one rein go or else woe bctide him. Away goes the reindeer with his sledge, and noth- ing will stop him till he reaches his herd, while, should the mfortu- nate driver find himself far from his companions. there is nothing for him to do but face starvation and a frozen grave amid the snow. Acci- dents like these are quite usual, but it has not occurred to the Lapp to alter either the method of harness ing or driving or the shape of the sledgc." ."-Chicago News.

Who Invented Chess?

The honor of inventing chess has been claimed by at least fourteen nations, and q variety of famous persons have been mentioned as sole inventor, ranging from Japheth and Shem to King Solomon and Aristotle. It is, however, generally agreed that Europe got the game from the Arabic, "checkmate" be- ing corruption of "Shah mat" (''the king is dead''). - London Chronicle.

AMlABLE ENEMIES.
Our Rattiesnakes Are SoeiabIs, but
 Extremely conceitsd.

I
 Extremely coneeitsd. The American rattlesnake is real ly one of the most human of living creatures, says Professor Manley, an English naturalist of wide re- pute. He is sociable, amiable enemy. But he is also extremely conceited. He knows that he pos sesses d death dealing power and is consequently of the opinion that because of this he should be con- sidered the terror of the wilderness. Other animals understand perfectly how he regards himself, the 'bad man" of the region, and they recog- nizc his terrible power. For this reason they have had to study his limitations, which he in his egotism is blind to.
 The rattlesnake gets irascible on occasions, Professor Manley goes on to say. He becomes most cross when his vanity has been wounded. But he rarely bites a human being ex- cept when he is of the opinion that his own personal safety requires it. Neither does he go out hunting trouble. His social instincts lead him to seek the same comforts with which men surround themselves, and if men would only leave him alone he would not object to their company at all.
 Dogs are perhaps the most dan gerous enemy the naughty rattler has to face. Together with hogs they are the only species of ami mai that are almost entirely inn mune to the venom of the rattler. Oftcntimes a shepherd dog will come out badly bitten and used up from his first encounter with a rat tier and have to be taken care of for days by his master. Afterward. though, he becomes wiser and in due time develops into an adept at the art of killing his enemy.
 The cat is by far the. clcverest of all at playing with the rattler and outwitting him at his own game. He seems to be aware, too, that puss is making fun of him, and she therefore succeeds in working him up into terrible rage. She has no trouble at all in inducing the snake to coil, and then she cautious ly stretches out d forcpaw in his di- rection. lie becomes furious and strikes, but her paw is not there, for of the two the cat is infinitely the quicker.
 Coyotes are much the same in their dealings with their common enemy. playing on the weaknesses of the snake for their own pleasure for long lengths of time. Horses are not nearly so clever or wise in their dealings. Of course one roar ed on the range will avoid a rattler as mule avoids work. and at the dread sound of the rattlcs will leap and shy. Eastern horses taken west do not know so much at first. though they speedily learn.
 There seems apparently no uni formitv in the rattlinc. If the snake is in bad humor Inc will rat tie even when there is no sign of an enemy about. Usually. however. he will not rattle unless he is great lv concerned. - Springfield Repub- 1ican.

BETTER ANTI-TOXINE
AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
German Professor Announces Method
/ for Prolonging 1mmunization
/ Against the Disease.

WIESBADEN, Germany, April 8
The discovery of a method OF prolong-
ed immunization against diphtheria,
consisting of an injection of a mixture
OF diphtheritic toNine and anti-toxine,
has been announced by Professor
Emile Won Behring OF the University
of Marburg, at the congress of inter
nal medicine now in session here. Ade-
quate tests Of the new method in the
clinics of Madgeburg and AIarburg
had, said the professor, shown that the
treatment was harmless and effective.
The earlier attempts to immunize by
means of Behring's original diphtheria
serum were unsuccessful, as the i'm
munity was very brief. Professor
+ Behring offers to supply clinics with
the new prophylactic under proper
guarantees Of observation and registra-
tion.
