False Teeth an italian Invention.

S''S@ . Will e4ll lHetieIt IilFCiiAlOlta
No doubt the statement of firm of
manufacturers that they sell over 12,,
100000 false teeth a year, is well
founded, since everyone uses them
these days. 1t seems, however, te re-
call to memory the fact that the use
Of artificial teeth is just a little over
a hundred years old.
The first successful maker was Gius-
sepangelo Fonzi, an Italian dentist,
who started practice in Paris in 1898,
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 earli-
est 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 yearly
pension Of a thousand ducats for o
set Of false teeth.

SPECIAL ROPE FOR CLIMBERS
for Strength, Reliability and
Lightness.

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 a 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 1864 a committee of the
Alpine club made tests upon a 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 g

tanned the weight Of 17O-pound man

| has been warm during the day, but
rather cool at night. The crop is
making good growth, and the de
sideratum now is dry September
Some reports indicate the corn and
hay crops to be suffering from the
continued rains. The development OF
the cane during the past month, due
to favorable weather conditions, has
frightened the prospects for an out.
put of sugar somewhat nearer to the
hoped-for 200,100 tons than was deem.

After careful investigation the
Planter learns, from the most reli-
able sources, that nearly one-half of

preference for the finished product,
and the scarcity of sugar bags.
Some sugar men suggest studying
the adyisability of shipping sugars in
bulk. Most planters consider such
a method dangerous, and step back

sugars would be impossible. Sugars
SO shipped would have to be sold at

PROGRESS OF THE GREAT WAR

The dearth OF war news continues
Ito a considerable extent, but the
general results OF the past week
/ operations may be summarized in the
statement that the Germans have
made steady progress in their ad
vance across the French border to
ward their main objective point
! Paris. while the Russians have in
i flicted heavy defeat upon the Aus
/ trians and are advancing their lines
in eastern Prussia, though confess
ing to & severe defeat at the hands
/ Of the Germans at one point along
the long battle front.
Turkey had not yet decided to en-.
ter the lists as an ally of Germany
when this report was written, but
seemed on the verge of taking that
step Italy still maintains her neu-
trality under great pressure.
| The only naval engagement of any
| Importance that has yet taken place
occurred week ago between Bri-
fish and German vessels near Hell
/ igoIand in the North Sea, resulting
in British victory, the Germans
losing several small vessels and over
three hundred men in killed, wound
ed and prisoners, while the British
loss was less than fifty. The navies
of Great Britain and France are in
virtual control of nearly all the
worlds waters except a part of the
North and Mediterranean seas where
the bulk of the German and Austrian
navies are gathered under the protec-
ton of land Notifications.
The French government has trans
ferred its headquarters from Paris to
Bordeaux, where temporary capital
will be maintained until the fate of
Paris is decided. Elaborate prepara-
tons are being made to defend the
great city against the invading Ger
man hosts, and the allies are conf
dent Of holding out until the advance
Of the Russians upon Berlin compels
Germany to relax her efforts to
seize the French metropolis.
A fearful toll in human lives is
being taken by this deplorable and
unnecessary war; the manning of
hundreds Of thousands of bread-Win-
ners, enormous destruction of proper
ty, loss of growing crops, paralysis of
trade and commerce, increase of the
cost of living, and multitude of
other misfortunes are following in
the wake of the gigantic struggle of
ambitious rulers and nations to dom
mate their neighbors.
Humanity may possibly derive
some ultimate compensation from
these calamitous sacrifices, but it is
hard to imagine how good can ever
flow from such maelstrom of mad
ness, carnage and blood,
