To Explore Earth's Interior.

Our knowledge Of the earth from
actual contact is confined to a thin
layer Of only a few hundred feet, and
what exists deeper down Is subject
for speculation. The idea Of exploring
further by bore-hOle some ten times
as deep as any yet attempted was
again brought up in the late presi-
Dental address Of Hon. Sir Charles
A. Parsons to the British association.
He proposed in 1904 the sinking Of
such a shaft to a depth Of II miles,
and estimated that 1t would require
eighty-five years Of time and cost $685.
OOO,OOO-an outlay about equal to that
for one first-class battleship. Since
then Prof. F. D. Adams has concluded
that a depth Of 15 miles could be
reached in limestone before the rock
would give trouble by being crushed,
and in granite about 80 miles could be
reached. Such shaft might throw
much light on the earth's internal con.
stitution-especially as related to very
heavy minerals. In Italy, bore-holes
sunk to moderate depths In volcap-
ic district discharge great volumes
Of high pressure steam, and this is be-
Ing utilized to generate about 10000
horsepower by turbines,

"so-and.so and Daughter"

1t is welcome sight to see the
words "and daughter" as the suffix to
the name over shop, says the London
News. 1t is sign Of the lines of
women's interest in business and their
recognition as responsible .helpmates.
In the west end there is more than
one emporium of feminine attire un.
der the ownership of So-and-So and
Daughter-or daughters-and I know
Of another which belongs officially to
father and daughters; but have never
yet come across shop under the Joint
ownership Of husband and wife, yet
we know of countless small businesses
in which the wife of the owner does
q goodly share OF the work.

Differing Types Of Marble.

In its tests of SO different types of
marbles, the United States bureau of
standards has found the compressive
strength Of the dry material to range
between 1850 and 5O.25O pounds per
square inch. Wet specimens were usu-
ally somewhat weaker, and in a few
instances loss Of strength from soak
ing was as great as 25 per cent. Az
ter 80 freezings and thawings, most
specimens were much weakened,
though some were little affected, while
q few were actually strengthened. The
electrical resistance varies so greatly
that care is necessary In selecting ma
terial for switchboard. Marbles ex-
pand irregularly on heating, and part
Of the increase is permanent

In Montana there is an old Indian
brave who appears each year with
quantities of "a certain luscious berry
which grows wild in great profusion
and which is highly esteemed by
thrifty housewives for canning. For
many years his price has been five

Indian came with the same berries

nounced his price as % cents quart.
Asked why the increase, he shrugged

apologize for not having increased his

LED. IN FART PREsERvATIvE''
Conclusive Proof That the Koreans
Were the First to Perceive Value
of Movable Type.

Fifty pieces of movable type bear
ing the Chinese characters, being part
of the first font Of movable type ever
made, were shown in the last week In
the Museum of Natural History. In
New York. England, has the other half
of the font, which was cast in SeOui,
Korea, in 1903. some years before the
discoveries of Forster. Gutenberg ana
the other early typemakers in Europe.
1t seems, thus, that to the Koreans be-
longs the distinction of having invent
ed and first produced separate type
characters in metal.
Each type is cylindrically concave
on the under side, in order to make IL
cling more firmly to the bed of bees
wax which constituted the form.
When the type had been firmly ana
evenly embedded in the wax the print
er, sitting crOss-legged before the form.
covered the type with ink applied with
a soft brush. Then the paper was laid
lightly on the form and piece of felt
was brushed gently over the paper
with one hand, after which the other
removed the printed page. 1t was pos
'sible to strike off as many as 1.5OO
impressions a day in this way.
Thrown aside as useless, the font
lay as rubbish on the floor Of the gov
eminent printing Office at Seoul during
the Japanese invasion Of 1592-91. and
so lay unnoticed and escaped being
carried off into Japan. Later, how.
ever, the types were collected and the
font again made up and used for
printing.
Although this font was the first to
be made of movable metal type. vari-
Gus methods of printing had already
been in vogue for centuries. DR.. Ber-
thold Laufer, anthropologist and ORR
entalist, has recently drawn up an ex-
cellent reference summary of the Inn
portant dates in the history of priting.
AS early as 175 A. d. texts of the Chi
nese classics were engraved on stone
tablets, and impressions were taken
on paper by rubbing. In 593 classical
books were printed by means Of wood
en- blocks, block-printing on smaller
scale having already been practiced.
In 764 Japan adopted block-printing,
and in the tenth-century there were
discovered in Fayoum, Egypt, block.
printed books In Arabic.

CHILE OR BOLIVIA MAY
WITHDRAW FROM LEAGUE
tBy The Associated Press)

Geneva, Dec. IL (by the Associ-
ated Press. "A dispute between
Chile and Bolivia in the league of
nations assembly today has raised
thei possibility of the withdrawal
of one country or the other from
the league.
The dispute arose over the sub
mission to the assembly of the
Tacna AFRICA case, which involves
the northern provinces of Chile,
taken by Chile from Peru in the
war between these nations nearly
forty years ago, in which Bolivia
also was involved, and the Peruvian
and Bolivian claims concerning
them.
The Tacna and africa case was
submitted to the assembly at the
,eginning of its session and soon
reached an acute stage involving
Chile and Bolivia in a serious dis
pute.
Chile renewed her opposition to
the assembly hearing the case
while Bolivia insisted on an i'm
mediate inquiry. The Chilean dele
"a ties threaten drastic action should

bly, and the withdrawal of either

MORE THAN five MILLION UNITS
OF DIPHTHERIA ANTI-T0xIN ARE
ISSUED BY HEALTH Department
By STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Santa Fe, Dec. l1.-More than
five million units OF diphtheria an
ritoxin have been sent out by the
state department of health since
the first OF the year In it's efforts
to check the disease In New Mex
leo. The unusual prevalence of
diphtheria over the state within
the past few months has resulted
In an unexpected demand for the
antitoxin which the department is
distributing, according to Dr. G.
II. Waller, commissioner OF health.
The department inaugurnted the
system of distributing biological
products early this year. It was
deemed necessary that In order
that an ample supply for meeting
any emergency might be availa-
bic at any time, In addition to
the diphtheria antitoXin, large
amount of vaccine for tho preven-
ton of smallpox and TYPHOID fever
has been distributed. These anti
toxins and vaCclnes are distributed
at cost, since the department has
no appropriation for supplying
them gratis Through the depart
ment's handling Of the products it
is estimated that over $4,000 has
been saved to the people of the
state In the past year.
The principal reason for the dis
tributing of the anti-toxin at re-
duced cost has been to encourage
the use of this product in the treat
ment of cases, and the prevention
of the spread of the disease by i'm
munizlng contacts The low price
places antitoXin within the reach
of many families who would be
unable to afford it otherwise, and
tends to do away with the practice
which has existed to some extent
in the past, OF waiting for a posi-
tive diagnosis before administer
ing the drug, on account of the
high cost. 1t is well known that a
small amount Of antitoxin given at
the very beginning of the case will
nearly always save life, whereas a
large amount given later may not
be effective. The question in Civ

PRICES OF MEAT
REACH PRE-WAR
PERIOD LEVELS

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Wholesale
prices of fresh meat cuts, both beef
and pork, reached the low levels
OF the pre-war period with the close
of business this week, Armour and
company announced today. Beef
prices, the last to be readiusted,
declined to the lowest of the year,
says statement. which continued:
Lower prices for livestock which
have resulted from declines in
foodstuff and from excessive re-
ceipts OF stock have had marked
influence on the wholesale price,
resulting in levels of prices below
those that obtained April l, 1917,
and also below prices that ruled In
1914. Light pork loins sold for 2l
cents as compared with the pre-
war price of % to 231s cents. Lard
was offered at cents pound un-
der the price of April 1, 1917. The
average price of sweet picked and
cured pork products was II cents
that being three cents under the
price in April, 1917.
