Perfect Watch,

When part of the Shackleton expe-
dition to the Antarctic land was ma
rOOned at Elephant island they had
only one timekeeper, and it hung over
q blubber stove for four months, in
the smoky atmosphere of hut made
Of stray pieces of wood, blocks of ice,
odd bits of canvas and an upturned
boat. But this is only a part of its
history. The watch belonged to the
man who. had charge of the motor
sledges, and 1t was reported that In
the two and One-half years Of the ex.
peditiOn this watch was never altered
never stopped going and gained just
one minute.
The following incident from an Eng
lish paper shows how important q
chronOmeter Is on an expedition of
this kind.
At one period, in order to accom-
plish an arduous march, Sir Ernest
ShackeltOn told his companions to dis
card all their personal belongings. 1t
was imperative to march eight" Sir
Ernest himself set the example by
throwing away so sovereigns (per-
haps, had they been treasury notes
instead Of gold he might have retained
them), and everything else went but
six pairs Of sox, one pound Of tobacco
and one pound of cOcoa-and the

Brazil Losinq Rubber Trade.

One Of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of its dominant position
in the rubber trade. Whereas, n few
years buck, the world looked to South
America for most Of Its crude rubber,
1t is now getting the larger share from
the far East. The Brazilian product is
obtained from trees that grow wild.
and little has been done toward culti-
walton of the trees. In Sumatra, Cey-
lon. Burma. and other countries mil
lions of trees have been set out and
are now coming into bearing. The do
nestle product Is said to be slightly su-
perior to that obtained from Brazil,
and the trees improve with age. The
financial loss to Brazil through It's de-
creasing exports has become serious
matter.-New York Times.

SODA WATER WELL IS FOUND
It Ia In the Philippines, and Experts
Declare It Is carbonized by
Nature.

Many queer things have been dis
covered by the drill since and before
Colonel Drake discovered that oil
could be obtained by the artesian pro-
cess. but the most unique one Is that
recently struck in the Philippines. 1t
is located in the town of San Fernan-
do, on the island of TicaO. At the
depth of 4O5 feet an enormous vein of
water was struck, with such gas
pressure that the volume was thrown
50 feet in the air. 1t was only by ex-
erting every possible effort that II
small flood was averted. The flow was
finally checked, however, and the wa
ter directed out and downward
through two small pipes, through
which 1t continues to rush with un-
diminished force.
Samples of the water taken show
that 1t is heavily charged with car
bonic acid gas and appears and tastes
like ordinary soda water. but analysis
Is not yet completed.
The man In charge Of the. drilling,
who has had 40 years experience in
drilling artesian wells In many parts
of the world, maintains that he has
never seen or heard of the equal OF
the Ttcao island phenomenon.

TRAGEDY DUE, TO TooTHAcHE
French Monarch Tormented by Agony
When He Signed Revocation Of
Edict Of Nantes.

That the failure OF king to take
proper care of the teeth, with the re-
sulting toothache, was the cause OF Il
step that made torrents of blood
drench the soil of France, seems Ia
be an historical fact.
Louis XIV. who on October II, 1855,
signed the revocation of the Edict OF
Nantes. which action took from the
Huguenots their right to freedom of
worship, and provoked the uprising of
the Camisards, who for nearly two
decades withstood the armies of the
king, had teeth so.unsound that before
middle age, all those In the upper Jaw
had been lost or reduced to scraggy
stumps.
He naturally became victim to
severe dyspepsia, and during the me-
morable year Of 1885 the royal dentist,
we learn, was sometimes with him for
whole day. Inflammation once re-
suited from the removal of a root be-
meath which an abscess had formed.
This was said to be during the very
time when he was apparently wavering
between his conscience and pressure
brought by the more radical of his nd
visers rs to compliance with the lat
ter's demand that the Huguenots be
suppressed.
The two Colberts, Seignelai and
Croissi, and even the young Dauphin,
urged delay, but the king answered
them in such a tone Of irritation that
they We're silenced, one of them saying
to the others: His majesty is tor
mented by toothache; we may not In
trude."
And so the edict of Nantes, which
had been granted by Henry of Navarro,
as Henry w of France, and had as
sured peace and calm throughout
France for more than two-thirds of II
century, was abrogated, religious strife
broke out again, and thousands of
Huguenots were driven from their nn-
tive land.

BEATS FOOT TRAVEL
HOW ITALIANS ARE MAKING WAY
THROUGH ALPS.
System Of Cable Railways Has Proved
Invaluable for the Transportation
Of Troops and Ammunition
During War.

The teleferica,' or-cable railway. that
the Italians have contrived to supply
their mountain troops quickly and eas
lily with ammunition and provisions, is
| one of the most interesting inventions
that the war has brought forth be-
tween high mountain and low noun
tain.
The steam railways, says a writer in
the Railway Age Gazette, run in the
valleys ut the foot of the Alps. The
freight, however, has to be picked up
and distributed by wagon or autOmo-
bile truck, and 1t must go up the high
er mountains on mule and mans back,
and finally on mans back alone, bit by
bit. But here the teleferica steps in
and says "Let me do it. I'm quicker
and surer. can go in all weathers.
Avalanches can't stop me-"
Along the 4OO-mile front the tele-
ferica daily does the work of nn army
of at least 100000 men-or 10000
mules. The last figure, is interesting
when 1t is considered that there are
only 175,0O0 mules and horses used for
transportation purposes In this entire
to fight the Austrians.
According to the official statistics
| there are 125 miles of teleferica scat
tered along the front, with total
daily carrying power of 5000 tons.
Each teleferica built can carry rough
| ly 30 tons. There are some 100 diff
ferent stations. each with line mile
or so in length. The one saw reached
a height of 11,OO0 feet on the side of
Monte Adamello. in the central Alps
1t did the work of 1000 men every
day.
The operation of the teleferca Is not
much more difficult than that of an
electric elevator in "skyscraper."
Once the heavy motors and machinery
are got up the mountain sides and the
three-quarter-inch steel cables strung
across deep valleys and chasms and
rivers, the mounting of the car upon
the overhead cable and the attaching
Of the pulley cable are simple enough.
We had been coming up all morning
by burro from the valley, the Alpinist
colonel and 1. riding along narrow
roads built on the side of huge noun
tain.
We came at last to small shack
that blocked the road. The colonel dis
mounted. greeted the officer in charge
of the station. and let me take n look
round. saw a couple Of heavy mo-
tors with cables. My eye followed
those cables, however. and they kept
going across the valley and up the
side Of the opposite mountain until the
eye. dazzled by the snow, could follow
no longer. "Well," remarked the col
Onel, as he cheerily knocked the snow
from his thick. hobnailed boots, Sup
pose We go up"
We climbed into the basket, four
feet long by two wide. with side rails
not more than six inches high. Wheels
began to whir, and our car ran smooth
ly out into space.
1 held on for dear life to those low
sides and fervently hoped the colonel
would not rock the boat. "This thing
wouldn't pay in peace tlmes," said.
The car ran upgrade on 30-degree
incline for couple Of minutes and
stopped, for we had completed the first
teleferica section of the three that
would take us to our destination. In
seven minutes we had traversed dis
tance that on foot required an hour.
