A party, of which about 75 were hunters, went on a deer hunt, through the mountains, being out eight days. The 75 hunters killed 800 deer, an average of 100 a day, or more than one deer a man a day. There has been some criticism on the part of many about this wholesale slaughter of deer, and it is urged that a game law should be passed in this country like those in other ccuntries whicn expressly pro- hibit the wholesale giaughter of game.—Mexican Herald. Queer Way to Catch Fish. The idea of catching fish by means of a beehive with a hole in the top of it is a strange enough one. Yet this, says the Country Gentleman, not inadequately describes the method em- ployed by fishermen in the Philijyine islands, who clap their apparatus down over the sluggish bottom-feeding fish and then, putting their hands through the hole in the top, extract their vic- tims. Battleship Models. By the English Admiralty’s orders perfect models are made in paraffin wax of every new battleship, before it is laid down, and these models are tested in a tank, being 400 feet long and 20 feet wide. They are made of wax because it is a material which does not absorb water or change its weight, so that alterations can be easily made and the material can be melted up and used again. NEVER TIRES Of the Food. That Restored Her to 5 Health. k “My food was killing me and I didn’t know the cause,” writes a Colo. young lady: “For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indi- gestion and inflammatory rheuma- tism. “I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living and many of the reme- dies recommended, but got no better. “Finally, about five weeks ago, mother suggested that I try Grape- Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. “To-day I am weil and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks, and do not suffer any more from indigestion and the rheumatism is all gone. “I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it.”” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is pecu- fiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome. One of Llie sources of rheumatism Is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimilation. As soon as improper food is aban- doned and Grape-Nuts is takén regu- larly, digestion is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disecase-making material from the system. The result is a certain and steady return to normal health and mental activity. ‘“‘There’s a reason.” Read the little book, “The Road to Well- ville,” in pkgs.

It has often been observed that a district where all vegetation has been destroyed by ashes from Mount Ve- suvius soon looms afresh with greater luxuriance than ever. Since the re- cent great eruption the volcano ash has been examined by scientists for an explanation of this fact, resulting in the discovery that the ash is rich in phosphates to a remarkable degree. An electric lamp inclosed in a pretty little cage formed of fine metal- lic chains almost touching each other, and held rigid by metallic rings above and below, is the very latest thing in lethal chambers. Its destined victim is the mosquito, explains the London News. By this invention—recently shown to the savants of the Paris Academy by Mr. Chauilin—the insect is pleasantly attracted to its doom. An unseen alternating current passing through the chains does its business as it endeavors to investigate the at- tractive luminous object inside. In the opinion of the council of the Royal Astronomical Society of Eng- land the proposed erection of a large electric generating plant near the Greenwich Observatory would have serious effects upon the accuracy of the magnetic instruments employed in that observatory. In view of the world-wide importance of the Green- wich observations, which form the basis for time and longitude calcula- tions all over the earth, the council, by a unanimous vote at its June meet- ing, called the attention of the British Admiralty to the desirability of pre- venting the threatened injurious in- vasion of precincts so long devoted to scientific work of practical interest to all mankind. A WOMAN’S INVENTION. How the Wife of n English Manu- facturer Discovered Blue Paper. “A woman,” said a paper maker, “invented blue paper. It was by ac- cident that she did it, though. Before her time all paper was white, “She was the. wife of William Eas- tes, one of the leading paper makers of England in the eighteenth century. In passing through the paper plant one day she dropped a big blue bag in- to a vat of pulp. Eastes was a stern chap, and so, since no one had seen the accident, Mrs. Eastes decided to say nothing about it. “The paper in the vat, which should have been white, came out blue. The workmen were mystified, Eastes en- raged, while Mrs. Eastes kept quiet. The upshot was that the paper was sent to London, marked “damaged,” to be sold for whatever it would bring. “The selling agent in London was shrewd. He saw that this blue tinted paper was attractive. He declared it to be a wonderful new intvention, and he sold it off like hot cakes at double the white paper's price. “Eastes soon received an order for more of the blue paper—an order that he and his men wasted several days trying vainly te fill. “Then Mrs. Eastes came forward and told the story of the blue cloth bag. There was no difficulty after that in making the blue paper. This paper’s price remained very high. Eastes having a monopoly in making it.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Pine Trees Made Into Silk. About five tons of artificial silk are now manufactured daily in Europe, and the demand far exceeds the supply. This is cone of the many modern prod- ucts of cellulose, that wonderful sub- stance of which the microscopic cells of plants are made, and which com- poses about one-third of all the vege- table and animal matter in the vrorld. Robert Kennedy Duncan now profes- sor of industrial chemistry Yin the University of Kansas, writing of “The Wonders of Cellulose” in Harper's Mag- azine, points out its possibilities for the manufacturer. For instance, he ‘writes: “A pine tree is worth $10 a ton; cut and stripped it is worth $15; boiled into pulp it is worth $34; bleach- ed it is worth $55; which, turned into viscose and spun into silk is worth $5500.” Professor Duncan argues tor a closer working relation between the technical departments of the univer- ignerantly at the door of great indus- trial developments whick can only ar- rive by the aid of modern chemistry.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Trade’ says: “The New Year opens bright with promise in business circles no ex- cessive stocks being carried over, and results of inventories fully equal san- guine anticipations. It is especially noticeable in dispatches from . the West that there was less than the customary lull in business during the holiday season, while bargain sales are rapidly disposing of the moderate supplies remaining on hand. “In the leading industries contracts on ‘the books are very large and plants operate full time, except where ma- terials or fuel cannot be secured or finished products cannot be forwarded to consumers. here is much com- plaint from the Northwestern flour mills on this point and export trade is also restricted because grain and other merchandise fail to reach the seaboard promptly. This delay may be attributed part of the decrease of $1,749,665 in exports from the port of New York for the last week as com- pared with the movement a year ago, while imports exceeded the very heavy total for the previous year by $1,- 581,590. «Many new contracts for a large tonnage of steel appeared during the past ' year, notably structural mater- ial for San Francisco. Railway re- quirements show no abatement, few contracts being considered, however, except for delivery in the last half of this year. , «Prices of pig iron have risen close to the position of 1900, but finished products are still much lower as’ to standard figures. : “Meanwhile the railroads do not move the pig iron as desired and many mills are running on light stocks. Tin plate mills have small stocks and large orders, making prices strong, but tin was depressed by large statistics of visible supply. “Business in the primary market for textiles has been interrupted by the holidays and inventories, but work is progressing in preparation of new lines for the coming season. A few sales of sheetings have been made to China, the first export business from that quarter for a long time, and more orders could have been secured by the making of moderate conces- sions. > “Review of MARKETS.

The statistics just published by Dr. Meslier on the depopulation of the whele world are startling. Dr. Meslier says that this is not only caused by artificial means, but also because the whole human race is gradually dying out. Taking the years of 1881 to 1503 he says that fer every thousand married women from 15 to 55 years of age taken from diff- erent countries the births have de- creased in England 18 per cent, 10 ver cent in Scotland, 10 per ceat in Bavaria, 7 per cent in Italy, 7 per cent in Sweden, 11 per cent in Rus- sia, 17 per cent in France, 17 per cent in Denmark, 18 per cent in New Zea- land, 24 per cent in Saxony, 25 per cent in the state of Victoria and 33 per cent in New Scuth Wales. Smokeless Powder. The color of the modern smokeless powder has the shade cf dark amber. In the sense of a powder being a fine- ly divided solid, smokeless powder is no powder at all. It consists of a waxlike compecsition, the size of the ‘grains’ varying according to the calibres of the guns. For use in re- volvers, rifles and sporting guns, the grains resemble the tiny perforated glass beads of the sort used in old- time needlework. For the machine guns, the rapid-fire guns and the heavy rifles of battleships and forts, the grains are cylindrical in shape, vary- ing in size from a third of an inch in diameter and half an inch in length to three-fourths of an inch in dia- meter and about two inches in length —each grain, in order to increase the area exposed to ignition, being per- forated equi-distantly and longitudin- ally with from one to six holes, big as knitting needles, depending upon the size of the grain. Snake Woership in India. Snakes, the objects of terror to most Europeans in eastern lands, are worshiped in many parts of India. In some districts. there are from 15,000 to 20,000 shrines dedicated exclusive- ly to the worship of snakes. These shrines, which are invariably in hon- or of one of the miner divinities of the country, possess, in some instan- ces, valuable properties for their maintenance and for the cost of the numerous cercmonies which their keepers have to perform. In these shrines the Hindus set up fantastic idols of serpents. The devotees of this strange religion make periodical offerings of dough and milk and coolk- ed rice to the serpents living in the shrine in order to receive their fav- or.— Kansas City Journal The Englich Our English idiom is perhaps no worse than that of other people's languages, but it sometimes leads even the native into strange sayings, which he does nct realize until it is point- ed out to him “Can you tell me where I can take an omnibus to Islington?” asksd the countryman of a policeman. “I can tell where there is an omnibus that will take you,” answered that precize official.

Nome Means ¢‘Home.” It is said that the name of Nome was the result of an error made by some Englishman in writing a letter. He evidently intended to write the word “home,” but the makers of the maps read it Neme, and thus the name of Nome belongs to history and the great district of Alaska. Some authorities claim that the word Nome is a corruption of the Indian phrase or word knoma, meaning something like “1 know it.”’—National Magazine. ALMOST A SOLID SORE.

Animal Thieves of Africa. The northwestern district of Rhodesia in particular abounds in every description of big game—ele- phant, hippotamus, giraffe, zebra, lion, buffalo, rhinoceros and antelope, with other members of the deer family too numerous to mention. (Even from the railway great herds of game can be seen and are in some cases quite a nuisance. . The elephants, for instance, have some rooted and unaccountable ob- jections to the mile pegs by the rail- way line, and cause endless annoy- ance by their habit of pulling them out of the ground with their trunks.

Frequent earthquakes of late have enormously increased scientific curi- osity about the earth’s interior. On this subject Sir Oliver Lodge obser- ves in Nature that “it has long been suspected that the earth is an iron planet, and now, threcugh the work of Strutt and others, the evidence hoth fer and against is intensifying. It is just worth noting, as a matter of sim- ple arithmetic, that a core of ‘metal- lic iron of density 7, covered with a crust of rock 500 miles thick, of den- sity 2.5, together make up average terrestrial density 5.6, but recent evi- dence points to a crust much thinner than the above. It is to be hoped that the ‘boring’ proposals cf the Hon. Charles Parsons will before long ate tract the attention they deserve.” Consumpticn of Matches. It is estimated that the United King- dcm alone manages to consume 500,- 000,000 matches a day, which comes out at about 12 for every man, wo- man and child. Smokers probably account for tie greater number, so that they will be interested to know that about 90 tons of wood are used up in the form of matches every day, or about 30,000 tons a year. If one day’s consumption of matches were placed end to end they would extend for a distance of about 15,000 miles. Sweden and Norway, where matches are made in enormous quantities, ex- port over 25,000 tons of wooden matches every year. In France, where the tax on matches averages 8 cents an inhabitant, the consumption is comparatively small. “The Blood is The Life.” Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of scripture.
