Paper Money Parasites,

A few years ago quite a sensation
was created in Europe when a medi-
cal man Qn st. Petersburg, l think
drew attention to the unseen dangers
lurking in the mouthpieces of public
telephones. More recently Prussian
doctor has found out that those
wretched things could be transmitted
for miles and miles along the tele-
phones.
And now $50 Paper Trade says) DR..
Il. B.. Clifton, the Macon scientist. has
detected a peculiar parasite which in
fects our paper money at is found
nowhere else, and though it is invisi-
BILE to the unassisted eye, the small
creature multiplies at surprising
rate and is very numerous. DR.. Cliff
ton counted 5000 of them on an old
five dollar bill He said the money
parasite is an acarus and closely re-
lated to the spider family. His APP
pearance is by no means handsome.
In shape it is oblong and flat, and
has four clumsy legs and sharp bill.
1t is never known to leave the paper
on which it lives and never becomes a
parasite on the human body

Watching an Oak Grow.

A pretty and interesting expert
ment, which may be new to some, is
that by which the growth of an oak
plant can be watched, from it's earliest
stage.
Cut circular piece of card to fit the
top of hyacinth glass, so as to rest
upon the ledge and exclude the air.
Pierce a hole through the centre Of
the card and pass through it q strong
thread having a small piece of wood
tied to one end, which, resting trans
versely on the card, prevents it's being
drawn through.
To the other end of the thread at
tach an acorn; and having half filled
the glass with water, suspend the
acorn at q short distance from the
surface.
The glass must be kept in a warm
room. In few days the steam which
has generated in the glass will hang
from the acorn in a large drop. Soon
the acorn will burst, and the root will
protrude and thrust itself into the
water; in a few days more a stem will
shoot out at the other end, and rising
upward, will press against the card,
In which hole must be made to allow
1t to pass through.
From this stem small leaves will
soon sprout. and in the course of
few weeks the experimenter will be
rewarded by having a sturdy little
oak plant, several inches in heig ht.-

He Caused a War.

The ossified man at an uptown
museum claims that he caused a
revolution in South Pacific Island.
some years ago.
The natives were all cannibals. and
they were divided into two factions.
each of which was led by powerful
chief.
The ossified man was on board of a
ship which was wrecked on the island.
and all the passengers, including him
self, were captured by the five nations
of cannibals who had combined for
their capture.
When it came to dividing up the
spoils the ossified man and another
freak known as the "armless and leg
less WONDER" fell to the same chief.
The latter claimed that he had been
swindled, as the ossified man was
totally untitled for banqueting pur-
poses, and the other freak only made
one-quarter OF the usual portion.
The chief started immediate war
against the other side, and in the
melee the two freaks escaped.-N. Y.

Said well known embalmer of this
city, speaking of waking the dead !:
GO The custom is almost universal one,
and in some form is observed by every
race and tribe whether civilized or bar
barous. In this country we are apt to
associate wakes with the Catholic people,
but the sitting up with the body after
death, and especially during the night
time, from time out of mind has been
practiced by those of every other creed.
g This custom probably originated
when embalming and undertaking were
very crude and in their infancy, and the
dread Of dear friends and relatives at
leaving the bodies of their loved ones
alone over night, and to prevent any in
jury to the body, watchers were selected
or appointed, who sat up all night and
took turns in looking after the condition
of the body. Then the doubt in many
peoples minds that their iifeless ones are
not really dead is another reason for the
custom. Philadelphia Press.

How Hairpins Are Made.

Hairpins are made by automatic and
very complicated machines. The coiled
wire is put upon drums, and becomes
Strengthened as it feeds itself to the
machine. 1t passes along until it reaches
two cutters which point the ends at the
same time that they cut it to the length
required. This piece of wire then slips
along an iron plate until it reaches a slot,
through which it is pressed into the
regular shape. The hairpins are then put
into pan and japanned, after which
they, are heated in an oven with a
temperature of from 800 to 400 degrees.
There are but four American factories.
The ls.gest are in Birmingham and
Waterbury, Conn, the others in Phila-
delphia and Brooklyn Five hundred
thousand dollars worth of hairpins are
annually imported from England, France
and Germany.

A New Lady hug.

A new lady bug has been discovered in
Australia, and the ladies of that part Of
the country are using it as a breastpin.
This bug IS slightly smaller than vedalia
cardinals, averaging one eighth oflan inch
in length. The elytra are cardinal red
when the perfect beetle issues from the
puma case, aiterward changing to deep
blood red. The male has a black line
Gown the centre of the back, from the
tEcraX to the point of the abdomen,
where t widens, extending forward along
tie lower edges of the elytra to near the
centre; here it terminates in a small
b.otch. Head and thorax are dark and
together with the elytra are denseiy
covered with microscopic light or yellow
ish hairs. The legs are black, with the
exception of the tarsi, which are buff
colored.-Detroit Free Press.

Prehistoric irrigation canals in Ari-
iona are really worthy of more notice
than Is usually given them The Salt
and ella River valleys are intersected
by a vast network Of these canals,
which antedate, at least, the arrival
OF Coronado in 1862, for he mentions
these ruins and the traditions of the
Indians regarding once dense popu-
latfon in this region. Modern en-
gineers cannot improve upon the lines
of these canals, nor in the selection Of
points of diversion from the rivers.
The first irrigation canal In this Sec
ton, the one that has made Phoenix,
with its present population of 20, 900,
simply followed the lines Of one OF
these old canals.
Their extent may be appreciated
when it is said that in the Salt River
Valley alone the land covered by these
