The following new words with their
meanings have been coined by the New
York Herald:
Typine-A typewriting machine. The
accent falls upon the last syllable
typO-een.
Typer-A male operator on the typine
Typess-A female operator on the ty-
pine.
To Type-TO write on the typine.
Typoscript-Typewritten, or typewrit-
ten manuscript.
1t may aid the memory to state that
the first word, "typine," is formed by
taking the first and last syllables of the
expression, "typewrlting machine" ," and
that it means the same as the complete
expression. Also that the last one,
"typosCript," is formed by taking the
first one and the last two syllables of the
expression, "typewritten manuscript" ,"
and changing, for the sake of euphony,
the ''u" of the second syllable into an 80. "
There is a vacancy in the English vo-
cabulary which these words fill. The
typewriting industry has sprung up
within a comparatively short time, but
no words have come into general use to
meet the requirements of the new situa-
ton. A general movement wOuld quickly
establish them.

The popular clown, Anatole Durow, Is
lodged for the present, to the great sor-
row Of his Parisian admirers, in Prus-
sian house of detention. He was to have
performed on Tuesday in a Paris circus,
with his educated pigs and rats. The
artist and his quadrupeds owe their
great popularity in Paris to their Russian
birth, But the justice of Prussia out of
hatred to Russia and France is hinder
ing the Parisian folk from the enjoy
ment of their anticipated delights A
week ago Durow was on his journey
from st. Petersburg to Paris. There was
q long delay on the Russian-Gernan
frontier, and the clown tried good hu-
mOredly to make the time pass as agree
ably as possible for the first and second
class passengers by giving an impromptu
entertainment,
Unfortunately his foxes took the
shape of such depreciatoTy attacks upon
the German emperor that some of the
audience fancied that he must have
taken leave of his wits and forgotten
that he was out of Russia and not yet in
France. The Germans were indignant
at his uncalled for insults to their ruler,
which had probably been got up for the
sympathetic Paris stage. When Durow
stepped out of the train at the Fried
richsstrasse station in Berlin, he was
courteously informed by the police that
he would have to accompany them to
the Moahit prison on charge of tina

On Monday the burglar who broke
into Colonel Arthur Paget's house, in
Belgrave square, few nights ago, was
charged at the Westminster police court
and committed for trial at the Old
Bailey. 1t appeared in evidence that
this prisoner, named Thurgar, alias
Knot, has struck out new line in the
business of cracksman. Since August
last, when he came out of prison, he has
rented a safe ut the ChanCery Lane Safe
deposit, in order no doubt to avoid any
unpleasant association with receivers of
stolen goods. When searched by the
police the safe was found empty, yet no
doubt, but for the accident of Colonel
Paget's appearance at the moment when
Thufgar was taking Mrs. Paget's jewels,
it would now contain plenty of articles
of value.
There is something very amusing in
the picture of the apparently respecta-
BILE middle class gentleman who rents a
safe and is constantly depositing in it
heavy packages, but who is in reality a
noted burglar. The writers of melo-
drama have never dared to draw so i'm
possible q picture as this; and yet, after
all, they might with perfect propriety
have brought the millionaire and Bill
Sykes together in the corridor of the
Safe deposit,-London Spectator,

a New Foe to a Pest of the Orchard.

A New Foe to Pest OF the orchard.
Mr.. Albert Koebele, who is in Aus
tralia collecting beneficial insects, has
sent to the state board of horticulture of
California new ladybird that preys on
the cottony cushion scale. It was through
the instrumentality of Mr.. Koebele that
the Vedalia cardinals was introduced
into California and accomplished work
which was without precedent in the an
nails Of economic entomology.
This new ladybird is called Novius
Kebelei, and is slightly smaller than
Vedalia, the mature beetle averaging
about one-eighth of an inch in length.
Only three specimens were received,
and these were placed in a small jar in
tested with the scale. One of the in
sects died, but two of them changed to
the chrysalis state and in few days
perfect beetles emerged, which were
fortunately male and female. Three
days later the female deposited eggs,
which Matched in five days. The young
Larvae were carefully reared, and, after
passing through three molts, changed
into the pupa state, and tifty-five per-
feet beetles were secured in just thirty
one days from the eggs.
When liberated on trees they will no
doubt pass through their transforma-
tion in much less time, so that there will
be thousands of beetles for distribution
very soon. 1t is to be hoped that they
will be as efficient as the ladybirds of
Mr.. Koebeles original importation.

The sinking of the steam yacht Alva
by the steamship II. F. DimOck on Nan

which are bound to occur occasionally
where vessels lie at anchor in q fairway
as narrow and thickly nayigated as the

mock belongs employs the best naViga-

the sound Of lighthouse whistles and

The eye and ear of Long Island

object and hear the least noise at the
greatest possible distance. Unless an
adverse wind prevented those ON the
Dimock from hearing the AlVa's bell,
we incline to the belief that it was not
struck at short intervals enough, and if
the captain of the Dimock says he did
not hear any bell, those interested can
depend upon it that he states the fact,
