E. S. WILSON, a blacksmith of Ozark,
Mo-, has a relic of the Marshfield cy-
clone which occurred on April IS, 1880,
that is very remarkable curiosity. This
witness of one of the freaks of the great
storm is black quart bottle, bent by
some mysterious force into an elliptic
circle without crack or break in the
glass that the closest scrutiny can dis
cover. The neck of the bottle actu-
ally touches the edge of the bottom,
and the fact that the glass was not
broken in any way by the force of the
storm is shown by its holding water or
any other fluid. By gradually turning
the bottle as the water is poured in, it
can be nearly filed to its full capacity,
SO as to show the perfect soundness of
the material. This bottle was found
by Mr.. Wilson the day after the Marsh
field disaster and examined by Prof.
Tice. The meteorologist attributed
the bending of the bottle to the force of
electricity, and considered this one of
the most wonderful results of the agency
at work in the storm cloud. The bot
tie was found In the wreck of one of the
Marshfield drug stores.

THE Gainesville Fla.) AdUocate re-
lates this funny incident of the phos-
phate craze in that State: "a tall,
lank cracker entered a chemists office
the other day with handkerchief full
of rock, and said, in a husky but eager
and excited whisper: Mister, be you
alone? Yes, SIR Can 1 lock this
door?' Yes, if you wish to- After
locking the door and seeing that no one
was hiding anywhere, the cracker
slowly undid his handkerchief and
handed some rock to the chemist for
his inspection, and asked: What do
you think of that?' The chemist care
fully examined it and said: I do not
think much of it, at the same time
pouring some acid on it which caused it
to effervesce like a double refined seid-
litz powder. Cracker-What does that
show? Chemist-That shows it is a
frst-class sample of lime, with no bone
phosphate about it. Cracker-Boss,
are you sure about that stuff? Chem
ist-Yes, very sure. Cracker with a
long-drawn breath)-Well, I've mar
ried wilder with hill plumb full of
that stuff, an I thought it was phos-
plate. Say, boss, I'm in fer it, amt I?
Good-by."

A New YORK manager has offered
Henry NJ. Stanley $1,000 lecture for
fifty lectures to be delivered in Amer
lea next winter, and the great explorer
has not yet signified whether he will ac-
cept the offer or not. This is probably
the biggest offer ever made for a series
of lectures in this country. 1t would
take some wonderful calculation to
figure out profit for any manager who
makes such a generous offer as that
Henry NJ. Stanley is doubtless the
greatest attraction for the platform in
the world, but $1,000 lecture is gilt
edged even for him.

RICHARD THOMAS, man who died in
West Haven, Conn, recently, at the
age of 81 years, was born and always
lived in the house where he died. The
house is believed to have stood $50
years. In the rear part of the house
are bullet holes made by the British
troops when they landed at West Haven
during the revolution. A family tradi-
lion handed down by Mr.. Thomas is
that the invading troops entered his
house, ate all the food that was there
and attempted to carry away some per-
sonal property.

DIR. HENRY J. W. TOMBSTONE, who
died recently in England at the age Of
80. lived at Boulogne during the stormy
times which followed the abdication of
Louis Philippe and the coup d'etat. In
these events he took a keen interest,
and he was the hero of an episode
which, in the words of the London
Times, is probably unique in the his
tory of journalism. In 1922 he adj
dressed to the Times series of letters,
remarkable for their powerful invectiye,
exposing and condemning Napoleon's
imperial designs. That these letters,
which appeared with the signature of
IAN Englishman," displayed great tai
ent may fairly be assumed, since the
editor of the Times published them,
though unauthenticated by name and
address. In fact, it was not till after
Mr.. Johnstone's death that the Times
became acquainted with the authorship
of these letters, which were attributed
at the time to various persons of emil
nence

A LAWSUIT has just been finished in
Pesth which began in 176S, 122 years
ago. The Bishop of Neutra, in North
ern Hungary, died leaving his estate to
his family. They were unable to take
possession owing to the Turkish inva-
sion at that time. After the invasion it
was found that there were 1000 per-
sons entitled to a share. They, being
unable to agree, appealed to the law.
and as a result the expenses of the law
and administration have swallowed up
the fortune almost entirely, and the
heirs have increased to more than two
thousand. Now that the case is set
tied the heirs viii get about SIS apiece.
