FOOD BOARDING IN
 CAPITAL OF AUSTRIA

VIENNA, April 21.-Searching ex- aminations. of Vienna storage houses by the police recently resulted not only in the discovery of immense quantities of foodstuffs, but also re- vealed the existence of an elaborate organization for obtaining exorbitant prices for the food stored. A mass of documents and account books seized
 by the gendarmes showed that an en- ormous profit had been made in less than three months.
 The head of the organization was
 Greek named Stephan Pantasi, who only came to Vienna at the beginning of the war. His business methods, though apparently complicated. were
 run on one main idea-to get the greatest possible profit for himself. Possessed of ample capital, he in- trusted money to a number of agents to lay out for him in acquiring all kinds of provisions. AS for prices, these were immaterial. the one con- dition being that nothing should be paid for until it was delivered. When the goods were obtained they were Lever sold to storekcepers, but tc ,.liGdlcmcn, who. iu return, sCld them to the dealers. The account books confiscated showed that Pantasi had made huge profits. +" hardly ever sold any stuff for less than two or three times the original price. and in
 many instances the price had increas- ed six times before the food reached the consumer Pantasi and his prin- cipal agents have all been arrested and will probably be- sentenced to long terms of Imprisonment. as the austrian authorities seem determin ,1 to put stop to this "prOfiteering" in the daily necessities of life of the population. All the goods seized by the police have been confiscated.
 Similar illicit accumulations of pro visions have been found in many other cities and towns in Austria-Hungary.
 At the Hungarian port of Plume the police discovered vast stores of pro visions in tho a'erChant's warehouses consisting of butter. canned meats. salted and dried fish and other food
 tufts, besides large quantities of
 lrugs. The whole stocks were con
 fiscated by the police and the mer- chants have been arrested.

Sinuinq on Carpet,

Standing upon carpet has tendency to mutlle the voice. since layer of inelaStic and noncOnducting material is then interposel between the seat of voice production and the floor, which, when it is not covered, acts as q sound board, taking up the vibrations and giving increased effect and distinctneSs to them. This can be illustrated by placing q timepece first upon a rug or carpet and then upon the bare floor. In the latter position the ticking is much louder. because the vibrations of the clock are then much more forcibly communicated to the floor and so tu the air of the room and finally to the ear by actual contact between the clock and the floor. A carpet damps or kills these vibrations because it is q bad conductor of sound. The differ ence. which is so audible in this case. is in some degree to be detected when the voice is heard under similar con- ditiOnS.

 He had scarcely sailed from Leghorn when an armed brig was sent after him. and he barely escaped safely to England It is said that he died at the age of twrntynine, poisoned by the emissaries of his Lcghorn employers. but the silk manufacture was securely established. became great industry in England and has since been eStab. lished all over the world.-National Magazine.

 This Is Iart of review of an article toy pr. Frank Barcndt in the Liverpool Medical and Chirurgical Journal on tbS abuse of soap.

Nurses. he says. often use too much soap on their patients. especially when these are confined to bed. when the secretion of their skin is sluggish and the excessive removal of natural grease leaves the skin rough and branny."
