who Originated the Upas rrees


Perhaps the deftest artist in the de-
partment of fabrication was George
Stevens, the Shakespearian commenta-
tor. Animated by an impish spirit of
trickery, to which jealousy Of rival an
tiquaries may have lent a spice of NAL
ice, he sindustriously devised cunning
snares for their feet. He would, for ex-
ample, disseminate fictitious illustra-
tons of Shakespeare's text in order that
Malone, who was his chief butt, might
be entrapped into adopting them. and
give him, the qualification of correcting
the blunder in his next edition. Under
the pseudonyms of Collins and Amner
he would insert paragraphs in the daily
press purporting to be curious extracts
from rare books, copies of which no one
who wished to verify the passages ever
succeeded in discovering.
Among these curiosities was the ro-
mantle story (that has found its way into
Todd's Life of Milton') of the poet
having been seen asleep under tree by
lady who became enamored of his
beauty and placed in his hand some i'm
passioned verses of Guarini, which.
when he awoke, so fired his fancy that
he made journey to Italy in the hope
of tracing her. Another was the story
of the deadly upas tree of Java, which
long obtained credit as one of the fairy
tales of science. Century.

Cured of Practical Joking.

Practical joking has had many follow

in which Beethoven was cured of it
should be alesson to all whostin practice
the tart" The wife of a pianist in
Vienna was great admirer of the com
poser's works, and had set her heart on
getting a lock of his hair. She induced
her husband to get a mutual friend to
ask for it; but the friend, being prac-
tical joker, instead of carrying out her
wishes, persuaded Beethoven, who also
was fond of a practical joke, to send her
"a lockout from q billy goats beard, the
hair of which in texture and color
slightly resembled that of the composers.
The lady was very proud of her sup
posed treasure, until another friend,
who knew the facts, informed her of the
trick, when she was so distressed that
her husband wrote an indignant letter
to Beethoven. The composers dis

home to him, he was so ashamed that he
Immediately wrote letter of apology,
inclosing genuine lock of hair; and he

There are three human crania in the
Washington museum which were found
in the gravel at Trenton, one several feet
below the surface and the others near
the surface. The skulls, which are of
remarkable uniformity, are of small size
and of oval shape, differing from all other
skulls in the museum. In fact they are
of a distinct type, and hence of the great
est importance. So far as they go they
indicate that pal@olithic man was exter-

Wha. Is and Is Not Perpetual Motso,

What Lis and Is Not Perpetual Motion.
AS is generally known, perpetual
motion machine is one to be moved by a
power furnished by the machine itself
and not from any source outside of it.
A mill or clock run by the incessant
rise and fall of the tide is not perpetual
motion. Neither is machine that runs
by the power of terrestrial or other mag
netism, or of the wind, or of variations
in the weight of the atmosphere, or by
electricity coming from outside of the
machine, or by the force of heat coming
from the sun. A wheel that could al
ways of itself keep more weight at one
side than the other and thus turn SO
long as its materials lasted would be
perpetual motion, and such has been the
form of most of the machines invented
for the purpose. Chicago Herald
