A strange experience Of the pocket
picking world occurred some twenty
years ago. It was at Naples. People
generally In those dayscarried silk pocket
handkerchiefs instead Of the scraps Of
muslin which are affected nowaday. An
American then ut Naples, from whom five
silk pocket handkerchiefs were distracted
in as many days, sewed strongly into the
interior Of his pocket large fish hook.
The result which he anticipated followed.
The thief's hand was caught, and the
American, turning sharply, seized him
by tho wrist and held him in q grasp like
q wise till he could hand him over to q
gendarme. But within q fortnight that
American was stabbed to the heart rs he
was going home one night from the
theatre. -The Argonaut.

Tho other day when he characterized

An English analyst recently received
twelve specimens Of supposed butter,
which he was supposed to analyze to dis
cover which was pure and which was
oleomargarine. After taking what he
wanted he set the twelve plates in his
laboratory. Next morning the butter
had disappeared from ten and on two Il
remained. These two were adulterated
and the others pure. Suspecting mice,
he set out other plates, some containing
pure and some adulterated in various de-
grees. Again the pure butter was cleared
away, the slightly aduiterated half eaten
and the much adulteratcd only nibbled.

Sciences, to the apparent geological law
that the cooling Of the terrestrial crust
goes on more rapidly under the sea than
with a land surface. Hence he argues
that the crust must thicken under oceans
at more rapid rate, and so give rise to
a swelling up and distortion of the thinner
portions of the crust-in other words. to
