The iistml . .ta that n drowning tunti
Is stretching cat his hands for ahl or
"hatching at straws” Is not altogether
satisfactory. A possible explanation
has lately been suggested, and this
supposes that the drowning mati. losing
all Ids acquired habits and even some
of those Inherited from more recent !
parents. In his terror goes hack to the ;
Instinctive movements of his arboreal j
ancestors, and the movements of the
drowning man are those of n frighten- j
cd ape seeking safety by clinging to :
the nearest tree.
The movement Is certainly Instine j
tlve, for It cun only be eliminated by !
considerable training and voluntary J
efforts, and yet It Is fatal to the Indi
vidual. for the specific gravity of no
hitman body is so nearly that of water
that the removal of the arms from the
supporting fluid at once sinks the face
beneath the surface. In cases of so
called “cramps” the victim, often a |
highly trained swimmer, generally j
throws tip the hands, hut these cases
nrc probably due to heart failure, and a |
similar movement takes place on land i
when the subject receives a fatal heart
wound, and It Is even a common ex- |
presslon of shock or astonishment. The j
ordinary movements of walking or run- ,
nlng would keep a man’s face above j
water, but these curious climbing J
movements of both hands and feet ;
make floating Impossible and are re
sponsible for many deaths by drown
ing.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, arc In fact nrthjcial
■tine pavements. The Industry started
with the use of the natural rock as-
pbnlt from the mines In the Vnl de
Travers, Canton Neufcbntcl, Switzer
land. The mines were discovered In
1721, lint it was 1849 that Its utility as
■ a road covering was first noticed. The
rock was then being mined for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con
tained in It for use In medicine nud ,
arts. It Is a limestone found Itnpreg-;
tinted with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from 8 to 14 per cent.
It was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight of wheels, and under j
the combined Influence of the trntlle I
and heat of the sun n good road surface
was produced. A macadam road of as
phalt rock was then made which gave!
very good results, and finally In 1854 |
» portion of the Hue Bergere was laid
In l’nrls of compressed asphalt on a
concrete foundation. In 1858 a still i
larger sample was laid, and from that ■
time It has been laid year by year In I
Paris. From Purls It extended to Lou
don, being laid on Threadueedle street j
In IS*Jf» and Cheapslde In 1870 and In |
successive years on other streets.—Mu

No I.lmlt to New Idea*.
There never has been a tlmo when
the Individual has stood for so mneb |
aa he does at present. There has
never been a time when Individuality
and personal Initiative brought such 1
amazing rewards. There never has
been a time when the Individual could
or did exert so much Influence ns at
present. There U no Individual today
so Insignificant that. If be became the
medium of u new or potent Ideal, ho
would be prevented by uncontrollable
conditions from expressing his Idea
end reaping bis Just reward.
Iu ull ages up to this man has been,
owing to his limitations of physical
force, a plaything of conditions, a slave
of Ids environment. Skill and Intelli
gence were but two of the factors In
bis iirogrcss, bounded and restrained ■
by limitations to their employment
Now. however, with universal energy
at the disposal of each Individual, this j
terrestrial sphere scarce puts hounds '
to his field of InfiueueeS-Cassier'a

Fruit Acids Kill Gem*.
A writer In a scientific periodical
states that It Is not generally kuown
that fruit acids ure germicidal. “The
Juice," he suys, "of limes and lemons
Is us deadly to cholera germs as cor
rosive sublimate or sulphur fumes or
foruiuhlehyde or any other disinfectant.
It Is so powerful a germicide that If
the Juice of one lime or lenton bo
•queexed Into a glass of water that la
■ then left standing for ten or fifteen
minutes the water will he disinfected,
it makes little difference where tho
•water has been obtained or whether It
bns been boiled or filtered.” As boiled
or filtered water is uot always obtain
able this Is worth remembering.
What Ton Pat la Tour Mouth.
It is through tbe mouth that most
malignant germs find their way Into
the body, and therefore one would
think thut It was hardly necessary to
warn people Rgalust the risks they are
running In using It as a sort of third
baud. One would lmngtue that hardly
any one needed cautioning against
holding money with the lips, and yet
