After the Phoenicians came the Rom-

The copper pyrites, composed of about
48 per cent, sulphur, 44 per cent. iron
and 3 per cent. copper, is the principal
ore mined in the district, and contri-

greeter part is sent to Great Britain,
although large quantities are shipped to
Holland and Germany. France and the
United Stator are also consumers, and
a small quantity goes to Denmark.
British ships convey all the copper

That a fog is an expensive incident to

the fact that Messrs, li.ynooh,.of Bit`

one and two millions of fog signals at s

outlay a largo sum le also absorbed in

Refrigerating Agent Now Procurable
in Tabloid Form.
The present is essentially an 9"0 of
tabloids; by magna of which nearly every-
thing, from metdlennts to edibles, is
obtainable in small, concentrated form.
But possibly the strangest application of
this modern development is the produc-
tion of a rofrlge,rating agent a la teblold.
This refrigerant, the compoeitlon of
which is secret, is prepared in small pas-
tilles, which emit a freezing or sterilizing
vapor in an airtight chamber, By this
means all descriptions of perishable arti-
cles—such as fruit, poultry, eggs, milk,
ileal and so forth—may be preserved
for any desired length of time u it :
stored In a natural jos or meehanieal
freezing chamber without any deteriora-
tion or alteration of flavor,
Every househdld can thtle be equipped
with an excellentmeans of preservation,
which is at once much cheaper end fpr
more convenient than ice. At the same
time it enables sterilised presserratlone
to be carried out In those places and
°limos where ice is not available. Not
only is it applicable to small household
requirements, but it can be employed for
the largest Inetallatious where expensive
and bulky refrigerating machineryis
now employed,
`It is anticipated that this invention
will work a complete revolution in the
proeent methods of refrigeration both to
tranepott and etorege. During the pro-
longed heat of fife American summer and'
autumn it should prove to be of especial
value.

his business to keep on the rails a couple
of detonators, by the explosion of which
the engine -driver may be informed that
the road is not clear, and that he must
be able to atop by the time he reaches
the "home" signal, which forms the real
protection of the station.
The man for the time acts as a sema-
phore. As soon as the ani goes up ho
elope a detonator on the rail, but di-
rectly the arm falls to the "all right po-

however, there has been leo decided
change in the shape of the top hat, and
it seems about time there was some
alteration. The limit of shallowness

very tall hat of fifteen years ago was
only six and five-eighths inches deep.
