Mountains That Move.

The results Of geodetic studies by
British scientists in the Himalayas
and the Tibetan mountains indicate an
apparent creeping of these gigantic
mountain ranges, the greatest on the
globe, sidewise toward the south. with
consequent crumpling up Of the ST.
walk hills. For long time 1t has
been known that there exist certain
anomalies in the density of the earth
under and adjacent TO the Himalayas,
but this suggestion of creeping mo-
ton is novel. The surveys that still
are In progress may eventually dis
close the real facts, but the opera
lions on the Tibetan side are rendered
difficult by the fact that Tibet is NOT
yet wholly accessible to the scientists

Ointment ad Diet for Rheumatism.

For acute articular rheumatism the
following treatment is recommended
by a writer in the Medical Adviser,
quoted by the Medical Record: An
ointment made of four drains each Of
ichthyol, methyl salicylate and oil of
turpentine, mixed with four ounces of
lanolin, is applied to the affected
joints and covered with cotton and
oiled silk. The patient is put to bed
In flannel nightchothes and between
blankets for absolute rest.
His diet must be liquid, preferably
milk, together with fruit juices and
plenty of water. Elimination through
bowels, skin and kidneys must be at
tended to carefully. At the beginning
Of the treatment dose of calomel and
bicarbonate of soda is given and fol
lowed after four hours by Rochelle
salts or a seidlitz powder. Rhubarb
and soda may be given to advantage
until the tongue is clean. Throughout
convalescence the patient must abstain
from all animal foods and alcohol.

FOOLISH IDEA ABOUT EGGS
Many Have Mistaken Notion That the
White Ones Are So Much Su-.
perior to the Brown.

Because an egg has white shell, II
Is no better than an egg with brown
shell. The popular impression to the
contrary is childish notion costing
the housewife many a penny. 1t is a
good time to get this foolish idea out
of our heads.
The whit. egg may be more attrac-
tive to look upon than its brown SIS
ter or brother, but that is all. 1t is
not more nutritious. And just because
1t is a fad the grocer gets a higher
price for it--from 10 to IS cents a
dozen, as a rule.
If eggs were used for decorative pur-
poses, there might be some excuse for
the greater popularity Of the white
ones. But on any other ground, no.
So, when your grocer offers you "white
leghorn" eggs at 20 cents a dozen, and
IN the next basket are brown ones,
Just as fresh, take the latter. And
then, again, the chances are that the
"white leghorn" eggs were never laid
by white leghorn hens. There are not
enough white leghorn hens in the
country, however industrious they may
be, to produce half the eggs credited
to them.
The grocer may have his little joke,
perhaps. But when 1t comes to eggs,
you needn't let him have it at your
expenses. Remember that eggs are
Just eggs.-New York Globe.

Feast of Minerva.

All Guatemala celebrates the feast
of Minerva, the most elaborate observ-
ance in its calendar. The revival Of
this feast, educational and patriotic
in its motives. is the idea Of the pres
ent president, Senior don Estrada Ca
brera. Like its Roman precursor, it
marks the close of the school year, and
prizes arc awarded for excellence in
scholarship. One of the prizes-$1O0
gold and a trip to the United States
was given by an American company
for the best essay written in English.
Ceremonies intended to inculcate love
Of country and devotion to duty also
form part of the celebration. There is
also an exhibition of the products of
the republic held in connection with
the annual event. OF the exhibits this
year, coffee, sugar and sugar cane de-
serve special mention. American-made
plows and disk plows specially adapted
to sugar-cane cultivation were on dis
play.

MUST KEEP SUCCESS IN MIND
He Who Would Reach the Goal Of His
Desires Cannot Admit Posi-
blIity Of Defeat.

Success. to be achieved in reality,
must be mentally lived for months,
sometimes for years, before 1t arrives.
Napoleon, with his dreams of power
and conquest, realized them more fully
than any other man. Jeanne
dare, with her dreams of freeing her
country and Setting her king on his
rightful throne, accomplished her de-
sires through the very force and
strength of her thoughts. To her 1t
was the sole object of her life; her
mind knew of no other project but that
which the spiritual voices had hidden
her pursue.
We could cite hundreds of instances
in history, but unless you are disposed
to believe the truth of the power Of
mind you would be no more convinced
than you are now. Look about you at
the cases where good luck seems to
have attended the efforts of we'll
known workers Of today. You will
find In practically every instance that
the person who reaches his goal is the
one who works, to be sure, but with no
other idea than success In his mind.
Nothing daunted by petty discourage
ments or setbacks, he goes right on,
having no doubt that in the end he
will achieve success. And he usually
does.

Measure Hides by Air Pressure.

A German method for measuring
the area of hides by means of air
pressure has been recently patented.
The measuring instrument consists of
table top with many small holes in
1t, spaced at regular intervals, mount
ed on a funnel base, through which,
and through the holes in the top, a
suction fan draws air. The hide, when
placed on the table, reduces the cross
section of the air current and so pro-
duces rarefaction Of the air. which
In turn creates a subpressure that can
be measured from the combined read
ings of vacuum gauge and a tacho-
meter-an instrument that registers
the velocity of air currents.

OAK is A NORTHERN TREE
None Of That Species to BE Found In
Africa, Nor in South America OF
Australasia.

The oak family has been mentioned
ms a northern type of trees that has
sent extensions southwark, as, with
several hundred species known. there
are none in Africa south Of the Medi-
terrancan region, nor In southern
South American or Australasia. A re-
markahle variety of forms in Mexico
has been revealed by the recent stu
dies reported by Prof. William IRE
lease to the National Academy Of Sci
ences. Instead of two principal d.
visions of American oaks, Professor
Trelease finds observation-disclosures,
the white oaks, Erythrobalanus, the
red or black oaks, and Protobalanus,
probably more ancient type with inter-
mediate characteristics; and the total
of American species includes 40 OF
white oaks, 40 of red, and only OF
Protobalanus. with total of 24S spe-
cies, Mexico has 121 Of white oaks,
125 of red, and of Protobalanus.
The II species in the United states
include 43 of white oaks, 20 of red,
and of Protobalalus, and Central
America has 20 species of white and
So of red oaks; but South America has
only species of red oaks; and a sin
gle species of white oaks is all that is
known in the West Indies. About $50
species of American oaks have been
traced in Cretaceous apd Tertiary fos-
sils. Professor Trelease thinks the
American oaks now existing-diverse
as they are-may have all descended
from a single late Tertiary type, and
that they have developed without di-
rect connection with European oaks.

Removing Rust From Nickel.

First smear the rusted place with
grease and rub it well in; this in itself
will frequently remove n great deal Of
the rust. Allow the grease to remain
for several hours and then remove 1t
with rag which has been dipped In
ammonia. This usually will remove all
traces of the rust. If, however, stub
born spot or two remains, wipe 1t with
a little diluted hydrochloric acid. The
acid should be used very quickly and
with care, otherwise 1t will remove the
nickel as well as the rust. When all
the rust has disappeared wash thor
oughly with clean water and then use
metal polish.

HOPES TO GET RID OF PEST
italian Professor Thinks He Has
Found Way to Extcrmlnate the De-
structivc Field voIc.

A plague Of field voles having prac-
tically destroyed last summers grain
crop in the province of Foggia, south
eastern Italy, Professor Splendore has
made an interesting investigation that
points to possible remedy. Many
of the animals were noticed to be dy-
ing and in 40 specimens sent to him
at Rome Professor Splendore found a
cocco-bacillus, evidently new species,
that was present in the blood, inter-
nal organs and Emphatic glands. The
rapidly spreading and quickly fatai
eplzootic seemed to be undoubtedly
due to this organism. Healthy voles
died in less than "a hours after sub
cutaneous incubation from an infect
ed liver or spleen; others fed with in
fected material died in three or four
DAYS. and in others kept near dead or
infected voles the disease developed
I'm few days. Mice, rats and rabbits
proved also capable of infection. Inc
organism was isolated from the in
testines of feas found on an infected
vole. and il was concluded that heas
carry the infection and that If inocu-
lated voles were suitably distributed
I'm a region of healthy ones the heas
would rapidly spread an epidemic that
might free the locality from the de-
structive pest. ~'as.,.s''
