The "(,heStnut."

The writer of zone Thing and An
other,n in the Detroit Free Press, says:
I have received number OF letters about
something I wrote the other week ON
chestnats. One correspondent says that
the use of the word chestnut" as desig-
mating an old joke is by no means new.
This man is from Philadelphia and nat
urally claims theinvention for his town.
He says that at one time, years ago, the
Chestnut Street Theatre was occupied
principally by minstrel companies, and
everyone knows the staleness OF the min
strcl Joke. So the phrase rose, when a
man told an old story, instead Of saying,
"Tell it to the marines, they said, ''Tell
that in the Chestnut Street Theatre"
and at last the phrase became abbreviated
to the single word "chestnut. A Buff
falo writer says that twenty ye.ss ago
saloonkeeper in that town had bell
which he used to ring when the boys
became too noisy, and that this was
known as the chestnut gong. A New
York man writes that in the play, "1he
Two Roses, " in which Irving takes lead
ing part, there is character who tells
another to ring the bell when pun: Is
made. "The Two Roses is play by
James Albery. I see in the newspapers
that Harry Wright, the baseball man OF
Philadelphia, claims to be the inventor
of the chestnut bell. He got Reach u Co.,
of that town, to make them, and the firm
netted $25, 900 from them during the first
three months of their tinkling existence.

Natures StuDeniOus Task.

Nature is engaged in the stupendous
task of world making. That is to say.
worlds are now, and ever have been. and
ever will be, making themselves, Just as
trees arc making themselves in the for
eSts and whales are ever making them
selves in the seas. AS the barks of trees
have to be annually rent and torn by IN.
ternal expansion, so must the crusts of
developing planets and satellites be
broken and shattered and upheaved in
mountain ranges, islands and continents,
in the midst Of great oceans, whose dis
placed waters submcrge the older lands.
The city of New York is being built on
land that has slowly risen about one
hundred feet within recent geological
period, as shown by the island tufts on
the Jersey Flats, above the city of New
ark, whose water-worn sides reveal no
doubtful history. Darwin says the west
ern coast of South America has recently
been upliite | in similar manner.
The western coast of the scandinavian
Peninsula is now being tilted in such o
manner as to cause the elevation OF one
end. while the other is sinking beneath
the North Atlantic. Within the short
period of two thousand years the Tontine
marshes, in Italy, have been detected
many feet, and again elevated to the
former level, so slowly as rot to have
been perceived by the inhabitants of that
enlightened country. Hundreds of SINH
lar instances might be adduccd to show
the instability of the barely inhabitable
crust of our planet, which must be rest.
ing upon surging fluid globe within.
How very familiar is the history of nu-
merous ancient cities in India and East
ern and Southern Europe, whose luckless
Inhabitants have frequently been buried,
dead or alive, beneath the toppling walls
of their own dwellings! Cincinnati En-

Wealth In Waste.

A peculiar class of book hunters haunt
the large junk shops in search of rare OF
odd books and the popular monthly
magazines. These genteel chi ifonieres,
if they may be called such, occasionally
strike valuable finds in old literature,
which costs them at the rate of 6 cents
per pound. Another class of buyers look
up the monthly parts of magazines, and
upon completing the set dispose OF them,
usually to the Cornhill secondhand
bookstores. These buyers often tackle
pile of old paper stuff that keeps them
busy for week or longer, and it is Of
ten the case that their labor is unre-
warded. The law of compensation seems
to be factor in the old junk business,
for many people get good living from
other peoples waste, and some even get
rich out of it. Even the old tin cans,
which were formerly condemned as use
less, and millions of which have been
planted in the creation of the Back bay
district of Boston, are now utilized, and
she metal sheet made from them can be
japanned, or timed, or galvanized, or
treated in any way that the material
made from the original ore is treated.
Out of the iron are made buttons, shoe
lace ends, show cards, telephones, electric
lights and letter boxes, small ware, etc.
There are parties in Boston who make
the collection of old tin, tin cuttings and
old tin cans regular business, and make
money out of it. The material is sent to
New York, where it is utilized. So the
utilization of tin-p plate cuttings and the
recovery of the tin has grown out of the
same channel of scientific thought and
experiment that long ago took the rags
from the dunghill and converted them
into sheets of paper. Boston Herald. s..
