No Danger Of q Shortage Because Of
Increased Consumption.

~ ~'9 W ShS aS ~
Increased Consumption.
That iron Is the very basis Of our In
dustrial civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many Of our
greatest supplies Of iron ore are being
rapidly depleted because Of the In
creased per capita consumption Of iron
the world over, an increase which Is
destined to be greater In the future
when the races I'm Asia and Africa In
crease their consumption Of iron.
These conditions Of increasing con-
sumption and decreasing reserves have
often in the past, particularly about
the beginning Of this century, been
used to create a scare, on the ground
that our supplies Of disable ore were
being SO rapidly depleted that their ex.
haustiOn would occur within two or
three, generations.
This Is a preposterous point Of view.
because as we lower the percentage Of
iron in the rock which we call ore
the quantity of such ore increases at a
rate out Of all proportion to the de-
crease in iron content, and as we use
leaner and leaner ores technical i'm
provements will be made which will
minimize any tendency to increased
cost Of production.
The same thing has happened in gold.
silver, copper and other ores, and to-
day copper ores are being worked with
only ID per cent Of copper in them

Dressing Wounds With Sugar.

DR.. G. Magnus reports to the Thera-
peutische Monatshefte Of Berlin OH his
success in treating wounds with ordi-
nary sugar. This he sprinkles In a
thick layer over a wound that has
previously been washed and dried. He
covers it with a dry dressing, which
he renews every day.
The Journal Of the American Medical
association says a great advantage Of
this dressing Is that it does not stick
to the wound, but stimulates a power
full secretion, which Pushes out the
depths Of the wound, while profuse
suppuration softens crusts and n~ecrotic
tissue and gives a chance for healthy

reached salves or transportation take

CURIOUS %CHAMELE0Ns.
Wonderful Powers Of Motion In Their
Eyes and Tongues.

The chameleon is an African lizard
Of peculiar form and structure. One
feature of the chameleon is that his
neck Is so short that he cannot turn his
head. To make up for this, however,
he has remarkable powers of motion In
bis large, prominent eyes; they move
independently Of each other and are
covered with a membrane pierced only
by a small hole for the pupils to look
through.
The chameleon is not covered with
scales. The body is raised by the legs
rather higher than most saurians, and
each foot has the power Of ~grasping
like a hand. The animals lungs are
very large, and it has an unusual power
Of Initiating itself with air. The tongue
Is remarkably extensile. The animal
lives upon insects, which II seizes with
its tongue, darting at them unerringly,
while a viscous saliva causes them to
adhere to 1t.
Except for their eyes and tongues,
the movements of chameleons are slow.
They live on the branches Of trees, but
lay their eggs under leaves on the
ground. The eggs are large, and the
chameleon lays ten or twelve. One Of
their pecullarities is their great power
Of fasting, which, coupled with their
gulping Of air in their great lungs,
gave rise to the fable Of the ancients
that they lived on air.
Their celebrated power Of changing
color is not, however, equally fabu-
lous. This depends upon the presence
Of two differently colored layers Of
pigment under a transparent skin,
which may show simultaneously or one
at q time or blend.

Naval Gunfire.

In the Napoleonic era the ships open
ed fire with guns at ranges Of about
800 yards. The ships Of today open
fire at $4,000 yards range, and gunfire
begins to be very effective at $4,000
yards. The torpedo as fred from sur
lace vessels is effective up to 10000
cards range, and this requires that a
ship shall keep beyond this distance to
light her guns, says a British naval au-
