VOLCANOES IN MAftYLAw?. Prove to Be the Oldest . Rock Forma? tion In the United States. Prof. Philip R.. Uhler gives an ac count of a discovery which* he made In the western Maryland mountains, says the .Baltimore American. Three peaks, the principal one named Buzzard's Knob, crown a plateau about six miles from the dty. It was for Prof. Uhler to discover that the three prominences are i:a fact volcanoes, and that aney are the- very oldest type of volcanic zock "hat la found in the United States. These peaks are of a different form from voleanoes like Vesuvius. In the latter form of volcano molten lava-and stones are forced up by superheated steam, Isaving a deep hole, but in these craters in western Maryland the whole mountain was ariginally in a molten condition and tne top crust was forced upward in a dome-shaped form, and such lava as did escape was forced out in vents at various places. The volcanic rock* of the region is metal bearing, and speclments of gray, green and gold copper were found by Dr. Uhler. The domes of the craters were somewhat elliptical in shape. In Mountain Climbing. The highest point at which climbers have stayed for any length of time is 20,992 feet, on the Himalayas, where an exploring party painfully stayed for six weeks In 1902. Higher still, at 21,910 feet, :ls the extreme point of Mrs. Bul lock Workman's ascents, the greatest height reached by a woman. Mr. Bul lock Workman kept on to a point 23, 893 feet high, which is the greatest height reached by any mountain climb er. The altitudes reached by Mr. and Mrs. Bullock Workman were above those at which M. Berson, the aero naut, began his artificial inhalation of oxygen. At 26,240 feet the aeronauts in general begin the continued inspira tion of oxygen, and neglect of this pre caution was responsible for the death of MM. Croce, Spinelli and Sirel at 28, 208 feet, and their companion, Tissan dier, just escaping by a miracle. Mount Everest, the highest point of the globe, is only some 700 feet higher, 28,99ft feet, and 3,000 above that begin the cirrus clouds that are composed of spicules of ice. At 35,424 feet is the highest point ever reached by man. This is the height attained by M. Ber son in his balloon on July 31, 190L? London Post. His Muscles Obey Him. Medical circles in Vienna are being edified by some remarkable examples of muscular action v/hich a man aged about: 30 years is showing. His power over his muscles is so great that he can perform feats that would usually be deemed incredible. Ke can contract his abdominal muscles so as to show an undulating movement massing upward and downwaru; his larynx goes up and down without the aid of the tongue; and he can even cause his pupils either to ccntract or dilate thus showing the Influence of will over so-called invol unta:-y actions. By contracting the diaphragm he Is able to displace his heart by four inches. One of his marvelous feats, narrated by a Lancet correspondent, is the "transposition of the intestines into tbe space occupied usually by the lungs.?Exchange. Oxygen to Cut Metals. Diamond may cut diamond, but oxy gen cuts metals, at least at Liege. There there is a daily exhibition of the Jottrand'process for cutting metals by a jet of oxygen. The apparatus con sists essentially in blow pipes, moved along a guide in front of the metal plates or part to be cut at the "rate of about six inches per minute. One of the blow pipes delivers an oxyhydrogen flame, which raises the metal where it is to be cut to a tem perature corresponding with dark red. The following blow pipe delivers a jet of pure oxygen which enters into com bustion with the hot metal, thus pro ducing a clear channel like a saw cut about one-eighth inch thick, tne re mainder of the metal being unaffected by the operating.?Exchange, A Real Rapid-Fire Gun. A new death-dealing instrument has been invented. A Lithuanian gentle man, M. Feodor Troit.z. has contrived a gun, worked by electricity, which will fire from *,000 to 12,000 shots a minute. The range of this new weapon is three miles, and its destructive power, if all claims on its behalf are genuine, should put in the shade such trivial toys as magazine rifles. The gun only requires one man to work it. Luminous Shrimps. Luminous shrimps have been discov ered by the Prince of Monaca in the course of his deep sea fishing in tbe Mediterranean. They live at a depth of from 1,100 to 1,600 fathoms. They are of the size of fine prawns, and are studded with small phosphorescent spots. These light their way in the gloom of the deep waters.?Exchange. % Railways in Mexico. In Mexico railways are being extend ed and facilities for transportation are being improved. The port of Vera Cruz has. at a cost of some $15,000,000, been made Into one of the, finest harbors in the world, and its miles of magnificent stone quays shame the flimsy wooden water fronts that characterize New York and San Francisco. An Offense to Royalty. A governess named Kathie Schmidt was prosecuted for lese majeste be cause she wrote her name In a visitors' book at a hotel at Gross-LIchterfelde. immediately beneath the signatures of the king of Saxony and the two prin cesEies. It is always better to take things as they come than to attempt to catch tbam as they go. Five Men killed. Five men were instantly killed, four others fatally hurt and saven seriously Ir jured by the explosion of h ton of dvtamlte at the quarries of the Dolese & Shepard Company, at Gary, 111.. Saturday. All of tne men killed and injured were frreienarf, wno were loboring in the quarries. The cause of the explosion is not kaown, but it is supposed that a b^x containing 100 pounds of tbe explosive fell from the top of another case, while it was war mlng prior to use for blasting purpos es, and that tbe. explosion of this son sunt set off the rest. * ? ;el&3 's January Bargain Sale, llthto25th.

The cor rugations in the line wires amply provide for stjuins, incident to contraction und repulsion, the result of heat or cold, atsomc time these currugations also give life to the fence, protecting it from ordinary usage, when any great or sudden force is brought to bear on the fence. The corrugations permits^ gradual yielding which prevents the line win-s from being put to sudden strain, and consequently eliminates the danger of breakage from stock running against them.
