Under the alarming heading, “The Disappearance of England,” The Gaulois publishes an article by M. Guy Dorval on the erosion of the Eng- lish coasts. ‘° ,A!-__ 11:11 I Lave-n vu The Writer refers to the predictions of certain British scientists, whom he does not name, that England will one day'dis‘appear altogether beneath the waves. He says that this terrible news has-fallen on the British public like llafi' Lallbll ‘Ill Iv'll“ .-. - _-VV _ , ‘ a bolt from the blue. and leaves his French readers to imagine the emo- t10n.and stupor produced by it. lounge-nu .auuyw.

Dorval then proceeds briefly to sum- marize the findings of tho commisison, which hardly bear out the sensational exordium. Still he repeats his con- viction that the British Isles will soon- er or later sink under the ocean un- less the inhabitanis show greater zeal in the construction of protective works. 7 ' 1‘ , 2-1- WUI an In his anxiety concerning the fate of the entente cordiule. M. Dorval has interv1ewed several French scientists on the subject. M. Bouquet de la Grye, a member of the Institute. has somewhat reassured him by estimating DUI‘IU " [luv 1 V|§L1.' the rate of erosion at two-thirds of a mile in a thousand years. He guard- edly states as his personal opinion that the English people would he wrong in exaggerating the dangers of the situation. ‘ _... . ‘ , ‘- Prof. Stanislas Meaunier, who is equally comforting. declares at the outset that the consternation of the British people is based on scientific facts. He compares England to a large niece of sugar in water. but says that France is in the same. plight. and Belgium, Holland, Germany and Scandinavia are also interested in the question at the same time. The panic in England is due to ignorance of geological processes. Health Saving Explained by 9. But ham Citizen Who Knows From EXD°rienc a.

Paul Pioneer THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ’uCCI us The French excel in dainty. 5| designs because of their vulatile. mirth loving temperaments.

But times have changed. this trade any They Add Eight Cents to the Cost of Each Ton of Anthracite. The cost of every ton of anthracite is increased 8 cents by the expense of the mine timbers." 'l‘o supply these tim- hers. says the Vegetarian Magazine. requires each year the product of ap- proximately 150.000 acres of forest. Timber is used for cross ties for tram roads in the main haulage ways. as wooden rollers and as props. A set of gangway timber consists of two legs. commonly nine or ten feet long and about thirteen inches in diameter. and a collar six or seven feet long. 'l‘hese sets are placed on an average at intervals of five feet. Onegangway frequently contains 1,000 sets. and ten ‘gangways to a colllery is not an un- usual number. “-1“--- 'l‘he average life of the timber is hardly above two years. Forty-live per cent of the timbers are destroyed by decay, while breakage, wear and in- sects destroy the remainder. By peel- ing the timbers and properly seasoning them and especially by giving them a treatment in oils or chemical salts their length of service is materially in- creased. The Marble and the Pencil. The marble trick is as old as the days of Aristotle. Cross the middle and fore fingers and roll a marble between them. The marble will feel like two. because it is being felt in an unaccus- tomed way. if a pencil is drawn be- tween the crossed fingers the one pen- cil will feel like parallel bars. The same illusion may be worked by plac- ing the pencil between the lips and then moving the under lip to one side. causing the pencil to feel like two. More curious than any of these is the one where the forefinger is crossed over the little finger behind the other two and then applied to the end of the nose. Not only can you feel two noses, but one of them seems to be about an inch longer than the other. This last sensation is caused by the fact that we do not ordinarily feel the edge of any object with these two fingers at the same time unless the part felt with the little finger projects beyond the part felt by the forefinger. She Said So Anyway. The young man who was endeavor- ing to win the favor of Bobby’s pretty sister met the boy on the street one morning and greeted him with much cordiality. “Erâ€"do you think your sister was pleased to know 1 had called the other day?” he was at last forced to ask. bluntly, after several efforts to guide Bobby’s conversation in that direction. “Su're!” said Bobby. with gratifying promptness. “I know she was. I heard her say so. “When she came home mother said, 'Mr. Brown called while you were out,’ and she said: ‘He did? .Well, I’m glad of that!’ Ink on Leather. For ink spots on leather chairs wash the spots with milk, renewing the milk till it is no longer stained and the spot on the leather has disappeared. Then wash the leather with warm wa- ter, and when dry polish it with a very little linseed oil and vinegar mixed in equal parts. The ink stain should be removed as quickly as possible. for it allowed to dry and harden it is doubt- ful whether you will ever be able to entirely remove it. A Better Authority.
