IpopulttMfcf mc 1 vwwww From experiments In Balgtum, Lson tTbomas gives resssurancs to dwsllsrs a few miles away from stores of high explosives. Various quantities of dy namite np to a ton were exploded, and the destructive effects were confined to todll of fifty to four hundred feet, leading to the conclusion that the greatest store of explosives that could fee collected would not endanger life r substantial buildings beyond one aodrtd to five hundred yards. Fur ther away, up to three thousand yards, n explosion would give a return shock, with no more serious Injury than bro ken windows or dislodged tiles. The novel theory that tho difference In the color of people's eyes Is a pro tective adaptation to surroundings comes from Professor Wallace, of Klmberley, South Africa. Natives of regions where blue light is predomi nantSwedes, Norwegians and sail ors, for Instance, hnvo bluo eyes, while near tho collator, or In sandy lands llko South Africa, whero lntciiBO yollow light Is experienced, tho eyes take a rich dark yellow hue, as thoso of the Kafllrs ami Malays, Italians and Spaniards. Generally speaking, the Scotch havo blue, tho English gray and tho French dark eyes. In the new process of D. Engcls, carbon for hardening Iron and steel is obtained from carbides and certain fluxes. A mlxturo of slllclum carbide and sodium sulphate, for example, Is applied to the cold metal, and then heated to redness with it, tho reaction being so rapid that an eight-Inch stoel plate Is mode to resist the best tem pered steel tools en one side, while the other aide remains wholly soft Last year's hydrophobia statistics at the Berlin Institute show that of 281 persons Inoculated at once on be ing bitten by a mad dog, lft per cent died; of those treated medically, 6 per cent, and of thoso not treated 11 per cent With the aid of 110,000 granted by the Carnegie Institution the Yerkes Observatory has sent an expedition to Mount Wilson near Pasadena, Gal., for special Investigations of the sun, under the personal direction of Pro fessor George B. lisle. horlsontal reflecting telescope of 145 feet focal length Is to be employed to produce to an image of the sun 10 Inches In diam eter, which will be investigated with a spectrobeltograpb of 80 feet focus length. The spsctrohellograph Is an Instrument with which it Is possible to study the solar surface In light of certain selected wave-lengths, the other light being shut out. Thus a photograph of the sun taken with the light emanating only from the calcium vapor in the photosphere presents a very different aspect from that of a photograph taken with the light of the hydrogen vapor. An Interesting parallel Is drawn In n report to the Department of Agricul ture between tho different varieties of rubber-trees grown In tho tropica and those of maple-trees In this country. Out of about 1,000 varieties of trees, all of which produce more or less rub ber sap, only 40 or CO have been found whose product Is commercially valu able. When a would-bo cultivator of rubber goes to a tropical country and sets out a plantation of rubber-trees, which the natives know do not belong to the right variety, ho causes nmtiscd comment, such as would bo excited by n South American who came to tho United States and bored holes In toft maples with tho expectation of ob taining sugar sap, Hubbor-culturo re quires great expert knowledge. Ex perience has shown that excellent rub ier trees transplanted from their na tive habitat to othor regions having apparently Identical soil and cllmato may flourish In growth yet loso their producing power. , SHOULD FOOD BE SALTED? rench Hcleullets Hay Titer Is No Ne cessity for the Condiment. This Is no now question, but appar ently it. Is not settled yet. In mi ex haustive discussion of It, M. Hone Ijiufer concludes that while salt Is ab solutely necessary to the animal or guulsm, enough of it for our needs Is contained naturally In our ordinary ar ticles of food, so that the addition of It as a condiment Is superfluous. Tales of disease caused by lack of salt ho dismisses as untrustworthy. Bays M. Lauren "The deslro for salt Is certainly uni versal. It seems to have been used everywhere at all times and In all civ ilizations. The samo salt seasons to day the miserable portion of the Sou danese negro and tho choice dishes of European tables. Tho need of salt la not limited to man; uinuy ani mals seek It with avidity. So general a prediction, so Imperious a desire should not bo regarded as a sim ple Incident, that Is certuln; but do they correspond to au unavoidable ne cessity 1" Is It not curious that the chloride of odium should be the only salt that wo take from nature to add to thoso con tained la our food Itself? Other min eral substances play a mucii more Im portant part In the constitution of the tissues, the salts of llmo and tho phos phate of sods, for Instanoo. When we use theso by themselves It is as medicine. , ' "The taste for salt Is not Innate or lustluctlve; It Is acquired. The moth er's milk coutalns very little salt. Cow's milk has at least four times as much, but even this amount the adult who should live on milk alone say, three quarts a day would tako more chlorlds than he needs. "Man In a state of nature does not alt his food. Primitive peoples who lead a pastoral and nomadic life do not add salt to what they eat. The same Is true of animals, Dogs and cats do not llko salt. Kven tho domestic herbivores got along very well If salt la not added to their food." U. Laufer discredits all talcs of Ill ness from the discontinuance of salt The French soldiers who were said to ''have suffered from lack of salt In the lege of Meta did so, he says, simply because they required It to hide tho tase of the spoiled meat that they were forced to eat The story of the Russian serfs who are reported to have fallen 111 when deprived of salt by their lords bears on Its face, M. Lau fer thinks, marks of Its falsity. Among the chief morbid symptoms said to follow the lack of salt Is edema, or swelling, bnt tho writer shows that nowadays a diet without salt la pre scribed for this trouble and has been effective in curing it In the same way he disposes to his satisfaction of all the different Ills said to arise when ono Is deprived of salt Finally, he calculates the amonnt of salt necessary to carry on the processes of organic animal life and the amount lost by excretion and comes to the fol lowing conclusion! Our food, provided It constitutes a proper regimen In the physiologio eetise of the word, contains in Itself and with no necessity of adding to it from out side, sufficient salt for our needs.

My friend, you have asked me for tho loan of a certain amount stating that you needed It only for a short time nnd that you would pay me back by a certain dato. In reply to your request I might stnto that I happened to bo short of ready cash Just now and regret ex ceedingly that I can not comply with your request Hut I shall do none of this. I shall refuse you the money on other grounds grounds which I shall endeavor to mnko plain to you, so that the matter may not again come up between us. In tho first placo, I would havo you know at once that I am no moralist My refusal Is not baaed upon any ab surd notion as to the deteriorating ef fect that a compliance with your re quest may have upon your character. Whether to let you have the money will do you good or will do yon harm is no concern of mine. You have ar rived at your present dilemma through agencies which are entirely personal to you. Tou may have Inherited cer tain weaknesses which make It impos sible for you to turn yourself to a proper account, or circumstances nay have really been against you. But whether It Is bad luck, fatalism or fol ly, Is entirely outside of my province to determine. No, my friend, I am refusing you the loan for other reasons, purely self Ish. The fast la that I like you. Tour faults, so long as they do not obtrude themselves upon me, do not matter. But your virtues havo contributed much to my pleasure and satisfaction In ths past and, to be candid with yoa, I am Just grasping enough to wish them to continue to do so In the fu ture Tho moment that we tamper with money affairs all will then bo over. You may bo a scamp or a scalawag. What matters this to me so long as this part of you does not bother inoT Or If you aro simply unfortunate tho samo result follow. And no, my friend, I eay to yon, If you will, borrow tho money of somo other. But leavo tho rest of yourself to me. Life. Hearotilnir for Treasure. A number of Mexicans with teams, plows and scrapers aro o.cavatlng noar Westphalia, claiming to havo In their possession maps and charts show ing trensuro to bo burled thero to tho amount of 1100,000 In Mexican doub loons. They say that tho treasure Is burled noar what is known as tho Bull tank, and havo agreed to pay tho owners of tho laud on which they nro at work a certain per cent of the llnd for tho privllcgo of excavating. Thin treasure Is satd to havo been burled during tho Texas and Mexican war. It Is said a tradition has existed that a largo sum In Moxlcau doubloons was burled somewhere, on tho banks of Pond Creek and another that thero was treasure of considerable amount In Mexican money burled at somo point along tho bank of the Brazos Illver, near Marltn. Many excavations havo been made to locate tho burled treasure, both on Pond Creek and thu Brazos Illver. Theso efforts were not only mado by homo people, but strangers have gone In and excavated, among whom were Mexicans, A few years ago it was no uncommon thing to seo deep holos dug along the banks of theso streams, pre sumably by parties in search of the lost treasure, but If any money has ever been found In this manner the fact Is not known.

The Minister of Public Works road a short address, to which tho King- replied, and tli on tho Kins, taklnit an ivory handled spude, thrust the sliver blade Into the turf, which he transferred to an ebony wheelbarrow. Tho crown prince trundled the wheelbarrow along a carpeted track about thirty yards lu length, followed by tho King, tho royal family, and tho assembled guests. The turf, when removed from tho ebony wheelbarrow, was sprinkled with con secrated water from a golden ower by four priests. The national anthem was played, and that ended tho ccromouy.
