The per capita use or gas in Md> sachusetts showedi~ docline in 19... as compared with the previous yeai. The tota' production of gas of r)» kinds amounted to 15,786,630,00 > cubic feet in 1 jjb, while in 1914 ft

The aeon-\yorn vase of Glare church at Tenth street, New Yoi' . is an antique ’doliola’’ of ancient Rome—-a receptable for grain that was fastened to some gate post on the Tiber’s edge in the dim-distant long ago.

A novel life preserver has been devised to supplement the ordinary cork jacket in rough water. By its use the person in distress is able to breathe, even when the waves sweep over his head. The appliance adds’ to the cork jacket a light metal chamber which floats high, a spout ending from it riding two or three feet above the water level. A tube leads from this chamber to a face mask, through which the wearer of the jacket breathes. Even if the water sweeps over his head the spout of the air chamber Is still clear and the air supply unimpaired.

Short as it is, however, they found it too long, and, dropping (lie angle, gave us the new term with which we are all familiar - London Chronicle.

Experiments carried out after Metchnikoff’s discovery con vinced Sir Victor that the consumption of alcohol “even in liny quantities,” lowered the body’s resistance to disease. The good phagocytes, whose duty it Is to play (lie sentinel and destroy noxious bacilli became temporarily paralyzed under the influence of a very small amount of alcohol, and this, in the opinion of Sir Victor Horsley, sufficiently ex-
