A vsritable Beer Tunnel.


At Portland, Me-, recently the police
found the outlet of a beer pipe in che
cellar of a shop on Commercial street.
The pipe extended five feet into the
ground and then took slanting diroc-
tion. The officers began the task Of
digging along the pipe and uncovered
1t for distance of about thirty feet,
when it was found to run through the
cellar wall. After in this way getting
the general direction Of the pipe, the
officers left the cellar and entered one
of a row of sheds built along the bank
wall of the Boston Il Maine railroad.
about seventy feet from the cell&,
and continued their search there. II
was three o clock in the morning befora
they found the other end IF the pipe.
but it was at last discovered in cleS =
erly constructed hiding-place for thu
concealed liquor they were searching
after. A hole had becn dug in the
railroad embankment behind one of the
Boston Il Maine sheds, access being had
to it through the shed. In the hole
were found three barrels of beer, one
of them being connected with the pipe
and partly emptied. The barrels were
seized. M Y. Post.

"a boy in Brattleboro, VT, in 1911,
made kite and attached paper Ian
:ern to it in which he put d candle and
arranged il so thatlwhcn the candle
had burned out it would explode some
powder which was in the bottom OF the
lantern. lie kept the secret cnti ely
to himself and waited for a suitable
night on which to raise his kite. The
boy got his kite into the air without
being discovered, for il was so dark
that nothing but the colored lantern
was visible. 1t went dancing about in
the airwildly and attracted much notice,
and was looked upon by ignorant people
MS some supernatural omen. The evil
spirit, us mnny supposed it went bob
bing about for about twenty minutes,
and then exploded, blowing the lantern
to pieces,
Next morning all was wonder and
excitement. Aud this lad, who had
carefully taken his kite in and hidden
it after the explosion without being
found out, had his own fun out of tho
matter. The people Of Brattlehoro
never had any explanation of the mys.

when the boy, who had become quito
an old gentleman, published the story
in II Braltleboro newspaper. Could any

too, is not without its accompanying
explosions, but explosions of laughter

Insanity Among Royalty.


Prof. Hackel writes thus concerning
the frequency of insanity among the
reignmg houses: "Already the famous
alienist, Esquirol, proved that the pro-
portion Of insane members of govern
ing families to those of the rest of man.
kind is sixty TO one. If similar statis-
tics concerning the hereditary nobility
could be gathered, it would probably be
found that the aristocracy, too, fur
nishes much larger contingent of NEIL
tai diseases than the ordinary people,
The reason lies in the unnatural or one
sided education, and in the artificial
separ alton of the privileged caste from
the rest Of The world. This favors the
development Of the dark sides Of human
nature, which are artiiically propagat-
ed, and, according to the laws of hered-
ity. transmitted with redoubled power
from generation to generation. Gar.

"Yes. we keep oye stones," said an
uptown druggist, "but we don't have a
call for one once in five years. Yet
there must be quite demand for them,
for wholesale dealers purchase all that
are brought them by sailors who make
a business of collecting them ON Their
voyages. Did you ever see an eye
stone?n CTyHT HFEr W

are found in the stomach of crayfish, |

"Then your belief is about as far
wrong as 1t could be-" said the drug
e st, US he took small bottle from
f. drawer 1t was half full of what seemed
to be very small, round, fiat pieces of
polished bone. Emptying few Of the
pieces on the counter he picked one up
and handed it to the reporter to examine.
There was nothing notable about the
little bone except that one side was COM
posed of numerous concentric grooves.
That is an eye stone, said the drug
gist, pouring some liquid out of a bottle
on u smooth plate and diluting it with
water. "And this is weak solution OF
lime juice.
1ln druggist took one of the eye
stones and put it into the solution.
Presently the stone began to move MS If
it were alive. 1t made its way slowly
aboutin different directions in the liquid
in mysterious manner.
THAT strange movement of the eye
stonewhen placed in weak solution of
lime juice or vinegar has given rise
among ignorant and superstitious peo-
pie to the notion that it has life, and
that 1t loves vinegar, and loves to swim
in it above all things. But there is no
more life in an eye stone than there Is
in paving stone 1t Is composed of
calcareous material, and when placed
in the solutions named is made to move
about by carbonic acid gas, which is
evolved by the contact W til the liquid
acid. These little stones and all genu-
inc eye stones once were the front doors
to the shells of a little molluscous ami
NAL that lives along the Venezuelan and
other South American coasts The shell
is a univalve. This oalcareous forma-
tion is on the tip end of the little ami
nal, and when he draws himself into
his shell TO escape danger or 60 to sleep,

stones. Before using them many rco-
pie think it necessary to put them in
vinegar TO give them l'fe, but it Is not
necessary, The stone is inserted at the
corner of the eye. with the grooved side
next TO tho lid The pressure Of the
eye-ball forces it to move about in the
eye, and the grooves collect the foreign
matter and retain it. After making a
thorough circuit of the eye the stone
will come out at the corner next the
nose. No Inconvenience is caused by
itspresence in the eye. ~. y. Sun.
