Saved From Death by
Kno.uledge of Morse

Two employees Of a telegraph COM
pany sent to repair burglar alarm
In a financial institution at Boston
were accidentally locked In the vault.
Bank employees in vain tried to open
the massive door. It was equipped
with time lock which was set to
open the following morning. The po-
lice, fire department and safe experts
could do nothing. There was safety
device inside the vault which, If the
prisoners knew about, would have re-
leased them but there seemed to be
no way to make them acquainted with
the fact.
Finally someone thought Of the
Morse telegraph code. With huge
sledges the words were sounded to the
imprisoned men. Then the anxious
throng waited. There was no an
swer. Suddenly th& door swung open
and the two men tottered out. They
had heard the message and found the
lock. They were on the point of col
lapse after being In the air-tight COM
partment for an hour.

Cancer in Lower Animals

Scientists seeking a cure for cancer
have been attempting to find solution
for their problem and to learn more OF
the nature Of the growth by produc-
ing it In animal specimens. Expert
ments with rats and mice have shown
that a certain kind Of tar will cause
cancerous formations six months after
1t is applied to the Living tissue Of the
animals, and 1t was also found that
cancers were produced In the stom-
achs Of the specimens after they had
eaten cockroaches infested with q
certain kind Of worm. While the cure
Is being sought, efforts are also con-
stantly in progress to improve existing

Weepinx Stous PIPES

Weeping stove pipes, from the
Joints Of which q tarlike liquid leaks
out IL often a difficult trouble to
remedy. 1t is due to insufficient
draft. The smoke, moving slowly
through the pipes, condenses and the
liquid so formed oozes out at the
Joints Of the pipes. Sometimes hav-
ing the pipes on an incline, upward
to the chimney, will cause the smoke
to pass along more quickly. Some
times raising the chimney will in
crease the draft. Some find that q
little opening In the pipe next the
chimney, with a sliding cover, in
creases the draft up the chimney,
when open, and so causes the smoke
to pass out quickly. It all comes to
this-increase the draft and the heat
Of the pipes and so cause the smoke
to pass out so quickly that 1t cannot
cool and condense In the pipes.-Fam.

caves are the Peak cavern, at Castle

his castle, says the Wide World Maya

An ice-cold stream issues from its
limestone recesses, and subterranean
lakes stretch far into the hillside.
This vast cavern has been explored
for $3.50 feet.
The Cheddar caves do not advertise

striking pieces Of scenery in Great
Britain. The first series Of caves was

These limestone caves form series Of

stalactites from the roof, and with
beautifully colored stalagmites rising
from the floor to meet them.
