Autograph Hunters Coup.

Autograph g. hunting sometimes
proves most profitable pursuit. Lud.
evic Picard. a French Bohemian Of
the SOS. made a steady income out "
1t for several years.
One Of his most successful coups
vas accomplished with letter In
which he posed as "a member of the
unhappy race Of the unappreciated
who is medltatlng suicide and seeks
for counsel and aid In this hour Of
sore distress"
This drew a number Of celebrities
Including Beranger and Heine. Lacer
dnire sent him ten closely written
pages. which were promptly converted
into cash.
Dickens also fell a victim Of his
wiles and took the trouble to answer
him in French. Eventually Picard was
shown up in the press by Jules Sail
deau and had to seek another occupa

Clever Engineering Feat.

An interesting application Of the
freezing system in shaft sinking Is ex-
Eibited In the Washington colIiery in
England. When the shaft had been
sunk a short distance, it was found
that layer OF Gnicksand so feet In
depth must be penetrated. To pre-
vent the wet sand from flowing into
the shaft it was frozen solid A cir
cular row OF holes, forming a ring over
20 feet in diameter, was made round
the shaft, and by means Of metal
pipes freezing mixture Of brine
or chloride Of sodium. was caused to
circulate in the holes. This had the
effect Of freezing the sand in circu-
lar wall round the shaft as hard as
rock. On the removal of the soft sand
in the center the frozen wall remained
intact, protecting the workmen from
the Quicksand behind it.-New York

You may learn many interesting
things about air currents and the way
storms develop by watching the move
ment Of pieces Of paper, or perhaps
your hat, as it il whirled about the
street.
A variety of miniature windstorms
are developed by the high buildings
OF our cities or the forms of streets.
which will repay careful study. On
a hot day even, when the air is per-
fectly quiet. the atmosphere, az it be-
comes heated tends to rise against the
sides of rocks or buildings. and If 1t
travels far enough will develop in a
strong wind, which descends Oh the
opposite side and plays queer pranks.
A small whirlwind is often produced
by the action Of wind against cor
ner formed by several buildings. AS
the wind travels down a street. eSpe-
cially narrow one, 1t rapidly in
creases in velocity. A little will spill.
into the side streets, but the main
stream will flow on, gathering mo-

how 1t mushrooms out on all sides.

DlPIiTHERIA.

Thirty-threc of every hundred
children who caught diphtheria
used to die before the discovery Of
diphtheria antitoNin.
Now, If enough antitoXinc is Civ
en- early, not more than one in a
hundred cases should result fatally.
In order to secure such results it
IS absolutely necessary TO be ever
on the alert for its early detection
and give antitoxin freely at once
when it is discovered.
Any SORE or INFLAMED Throat
is Likely to be DIPHTHERIA.
Ii is not always possible to dag
nose diphtheria by looking in the
throat in the carly stages.
At first the throat may be simply
.lnflamed, red, and contested look
ing, like mild sore throat, or
1t may look like more severe
throat, or tonsiiitis, with white or
grayish spots or patches on the tom
sis; again,
1t may be a severe sore throat.
with patches of gray or yellow vel
vety-looking membrane on the tom
Sis, the uvula, or the inside of the
nose.
Sometimes these membranes form
lar down in the throat out Of sight.
Then the voice is hoarsc at times,
she breathing is difficult, and Group
may develop; for this reason every
case Of croupe should cause us to
send at once for physician.
Fortunately, the difficulty i'm rec
oBnlzInS dlphtheria in the early or
mild forms can be readily over
come by laboratory examination of
the secretions of the suspccted
throat. This is known as culturing
the throat and is done by swabbing
the throat with clean cotton wrap
PED firmly around a stick or piece
OF wire. This is then sent to the
laboratory, where it is incubated
tallowcd to grow, and later stud
led under the microscope to find
The diphtheria germs.
Experienced public health work
ers now believe that if every sore
throat were cultured promptly, and
everybody understood that every
sore throat was a possible case OF
dlphtheria, this disease could be
practically stamped out.
