AscARF PIN THAT BARKED.
Startling Effect Produced by a
Novelty in a New York Club.

Startling Effect Produced by a
Novelty in a New York Club.
A member of one of the uptown
clubs caused something of a sensation
in the smoking-room of his club a few
nights ago. As he Joined a group of
of gentlemen it was noticed that he
wore a unique pin in his scarf.
1t was a large dogs head made of oxi-
died silver. It's eyes were tiny dia-
monds and its mouth red enamel.
While the wearers friends were look
ing at the pin and commenting upon
it, the red mouth of the silver dog
opened and succession of sharp
barks issued therefrom.
The effect was startling at first,
but as the barking continued, several
members of the club pressed about the
owner of the pin, curious to examine
"the new trick" The wearer of the
decoration, after enjoying the sensation
that he had created for while, unbut-
toned his waistcoat and disclosed a
long rubber tube attached TO the pin
on the under side OF the scarf.
The tube extended down into one OF
the pockets OF the gentleman's trous
ess, Terminating in a rubber bulb. BY
repeatedly pinching the bulb, the
wearer OF the pin was able to cause
| the sound to issue from the dogs
mouth. Thus does the Yankee mind
triumph again.-New York Times.

Words of Great Men All Re-
mind U.s."

The scholarly editor OF the Philadel-
phia Ledger observes that, in the cur
rent literature of st. Jackson's Day,
the famous toast of the old hero is
almost always given wrong-they give
it as, 1.-THE Union must and shall be
preserved, I" when what he really said
was: The Federal union-it must be
preserved"
This is unquestionably correct; and
vet it Is more than probable that if
Jackson's unpublished words IN this
connection could be had they would
prove both more entertaining and
more impressive than even the above
decisive sentiment The old warrior
was not always elegent, or even con-
ventional, in his phrase; but there was
n sturdy and Scriptural energy about
it that set the bulls eye ringing
perfect peal.
History, with polite purpose, often
takes great liberties with the words OF
great men. We are taught aschildren
that when the surrender was demand
ed of Cambronne at Waterloo he
answered: ''The Guard dies-it never
surrenders." We know now that his
reply contained but one little word,
neither elegant nor savory, but Won
derfully expressive of his inmate con-
tempt.
So the books tell us that when the
belated Napoleon reached Marengo
and found his soldiers fleeing he re-
stored order with the eloquent re-
mark: my children, we will as usual,
sleep on the field of battle" and they
further recite thSt Phil Sheridan, ar
irving at Winchester under similar
circumstances, stopped the rout with
a like elegant delivery. 1t makes one
laugh to think of it. What Phil and
Bony undoubtedly did was TO give
to those runaways the most vigorous
dose of Calvinistie theology that they
had listened to in their liietimes.
So with Jackson as with these-he
spake with greater force than elegance,
but he was usually "oll korrect. "
And it is these words of great men
which remind us how to make our
lives sublime, and, departing leave be.
hind us graceful phrases which enter
ed neither into our purpose nor oul
! powers.

Florida Camphor.

The new industry of camphor pro-
duction gives promise of being perma.
nently established in Florida. tbs be-
lieved that in ten years time there
will be more camphor trees than
orange trees in Florida, and that the
camphor industry will be more profit
able than that of sugar. 1t is staten
that the camphor obtained from the
Florida trees approaches more nearly
to that of Japan than to the Chinese
camphor, since the odor OF satrol is

The Mystery of the Hindoo Sword
Trick Solved,

iflCk SOlNeoF
The soldiers of the Hindoo tribe OF
the sikhs are famous for their exceed.
ing cleverness in handling the sword,
and one Of their favorite tricks is the
cutting in two of an apple while resting
in the palm of the hand of confrere
without grazing even the skin. Ihap-
pened to witness a very clever per-
Torrance of this trick by several Sikhs
but could not suppress my suspicion
that the thing was based more upon a
cute piece of deception than the art of
the performer. A close inspection of
the two halves Of the apple confirmed
my supposition that the apple had
been cut before it was ever touched by
the sword,
There is in existence very old arti-
flee which undoubtedly in the course
of time has found it's way to India,
and is made use of by the Sikhs for
the delectation Of their audience. The
processis simply the following: A fine
needle of more than ordinary length is
threaded with a strong thread of silk.
Beginning at the stem of the apple, the
needle is inserted underneath the part
ing and a stitch about one-half inch in
length is made, and so on all around
the apple, taking care that the needle
is passed through the same hole every
time, from which the thread comes
When the apple has been attached
around in this manner, the two ends
of the thread are caught with the fore
finger and thumb and pulled firmly to-
gether, so that the apple is cut into
underneath the pairing. The little
holes caused by the needles are hardly
perceptable, and can be nicely smooth
ed over. After being prepared in this
way the apple can be cut in half III the
cleverest possible way with one stroke
of the sword, and this is undoubtedly
the method employed by the Sikhs in
the performance of the wonderful trick
which astounds their audience.

Rain and Explosions

Under the directions of the Forestry
Division Of the Department OF Agricul-
ture experiments to produce rainfall
by the explosion of dynamite are to
be made. The theory that rain may
be produced by explosives is based
largely on the fact that nearly all the
great battles OF this century have been
followed quite shortly by rain.
During the siege OF Valenciennes in
1893, the weather, which had been
hot and dry, became violently rainy
after the cannonading commenced.
At the battle of Dresden in 1913,
the weather, which had been serene
and very warm, suddenly changed.
Vast clouds filled the sky, and soon a
torrent of rain fell.
At Waterloo, according to one
authority, the weather during the
morning of June II, 1915, had been
oppressively warm. The atmosphere
was close, and dark heavy cloud
hung over the combatants. Brigade
gins began firing. The conclusion
seemed TO rebound through the still
/ atmosphere. and to communicate like
an electric spark with the heavily
charged clouds above. A violent
thunder-clap burst forth, which was
| followed by great downpour OF rain
One OF the builders OF the Contra
Pacific Railroad states that lac was
compelled TO do great deal of blast
ing through a part of the country
where rain had never been known t.
fall in considerable quantities, anC
where il has never rained since. Blu
during the period OF the blasting, near
IL a year, il rained every day.
Humboldt states that the eruption
OF South American volcano in a DIR.
season sometimes changes it to a rain.
season.
1t is believed also, that in very warm
calm weather the burning of wood
and long grass produces rain. ES
tensive fires in Nova Scotia are general
" followed by floods OF rain.
Whetherrain can be artiticially pre-
duced without expense too great {
make the enterprise worth while, an
without dependence on a favorabl
condition of the atmosphere, are que
tions which the experimenters hav
