common practice. Methane may be

to lower nothing but a miners safety

available, and it is necessary to test

Generally. there is no physiological
warning of oxygen deficiency In the

extreme weakness accompanied by diz-
ziness, better described as partial
paralysis, and the victim collapses
practically without warning. To guard
against this danger, man should not
enter old workings without having a
rope tied around his body and at least
two men on the top. The rope should
be kept taut. Then If a distress signal
Is given, the explorer will not only be
prevented from falling, but can be
quickly pulled to fresh air and his life
saved.

BARNACLES LONG A MYSTERY

rocks or tlmbers. which it never leaves

There prevailed during the Middle
ages a curious superstition that the
barnacle was the egg of migratory
goose. the eggs being attached to the
branches Of trees that oyerhung the
water. Not until it was found that the
bird had its nesting place In the
Arctic regions and came South dur
Ing the polar winter was this fiction
disproved. But the bird is still known
as the barnacle goose.
The barnacle also attaches itself

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke Of cumben
land, Was the Sensation Of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. 2S, 1889, AZ the ripe
age Of - years, received his name on
account Of his being born during an
eclipse of the sun. and it became curl
ously significant and appropriate when
Ia mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke OF
Cumberland a brother of George HI
and afterward became the property Of
Dennis OKeIy, who on his death be
Queathed the animal. along with al!

his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways source
Of considerable revenue to his owner
on account Of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days it was not the custom
to insure the lives Of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that carriage had TO be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was OF
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds-Chicago Journal.

A coal-tar chemical for the elimina-

eratlons, simple Of application and
suitable for repeated and universal
use In oral surgery, according to the
Sclentlhc American, Is announced by
Dr Joseph A. Klein of New York
city.
1hls new chemical is liquid in form,
Is applied on pellet Of cotton to the
gum or mucous membrane surrounding
the tooth to be anesthetized or into
cavity prior to excavation where q
tooth is to be filed or treated. II
produces complete local anesthesia in
from Two TO eight minutes and elm
mates all feeling for from one to six
hours
Doctor Klein has extracted teeth
and pulps painlessly by the use Of this
chemical. Its effect is entirely local,
SO 1t may be applied with perfect safe
~ regardless Of the patients age or
general physical condition. and 1t Is
particularly valuable as an anesthetic
IN the extraction Of children's teeth.
II leaves no disagreeable after-effect,

time to recover from the shock of Cd

FISH NOT BRED FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small
Species That Undoubtedly Bear
Their Young Alive.

The habit of laying eggs Is so near.
~ universal among fishes that prob.
ably most people will be surprised,
says Science Siftings, to learn that
certain small species actually bear
their young alive Among these is the
large family of killifshes, Or Cyprino-
dontidae. In such species the young
are born In a comparatively advanced
stage Of development. When born
they closely resemble the adult fish
All Of them are very tenacious Of life
That the bearing OF the young alive
by certain fish Is not significant OF
higher state OF evolution. as the lay
man might naturally suppose, Is
proved by the fact that 1t occurs In
many species of the sharks and their
cousins the rays, though these are
among the earliest, I. e.. the most an
cient fishes that we know. This habit
of procreation has been developed In
order to give the young fry better
chance Of survival than they might
otherwise have-it Is literally a case

most curious of all these fishes Is the
genus Anableps which lives in the

REVIVAL OF CLASSIC GREEK
western Newspaper Welcomes Pos
sibility of Its Becoming, in
Time, World Language.

Were one to judge from the fuss
maze from time to time, one would
suppose there was real need of an in
ternational language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court in Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence of
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Eizabeth's father, Henry
VIII. wrote Latin works that pro
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings of voltaire
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended in
fabricatlng artificial language, such
as Esperanto. to serve as the medium
Of communication. But such construc,
tons have no chance Of practical adop-
ton, nor could they answer as we'll as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There Is language. however,
which is gradually becoming again
living one, and which as world Ian
guage would be ideal. The Greek uni
versities and Greek men of culture,
including VeniZelos himself, are en-
gagged In an attempt to restore CLASH
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek. 1t Is said that the endeavor
is by no means vain. and that gradu-
ally the ancient model is being ap-
preached We may yet have the speech
of Pericles, the written language Of
Plato, employed in social intercourse
and commercial transactions, In con-
tracts, in courts of law, In houses of
aaoembly.-Minneapolis Journal.
