 The common supposition that run ming the gauntlet was a torture pecu- liar to the American Indians is not founded on fact, this form of cruel punishment being known in Europe ages before the discovery of America. The Romans had a military punishment identical with it, the offender being compelled to walk between two lines, the men of his century or company being drawn up on either hand, each armed with a rod which he was re- quired to use on the culprit's back. The word gauntlet is said to be corruption of gauntelope, derived" from Gaunt or Ghent, and a Dutch word signifying to run, this torture being common among the Flanders troops.
 About 100000 canary birds are brought to this country every year from Germany, $500 having been recently brought over from Bremen on one steamer. Birds raised in Germany are Haid to be better singers than any others This business is house indus try among the very poorest people, and the income derived from 1t is desirab ble addition to the small sums earned by the peasants at their regular ocoupa, >tions. Shipments were first made to this country about forty years ago About 95O, 900 canary birds are raised every year in Germany, and, besides the 100000 birds that are sent to this country, the English market takes about 50, 900, and the next best customers are Brazil, Chile. the Argentine Repu bile and Australia, to which countries sales. men are sent with large numbers o1 birds every year.

 The most curious among famous pearls, according to the Pall Mall Bud get, is that which, three centuries ago, the French traveller, Tavernier, sold to the shah of Persia for $675, ,0O0. It is still in the possession of the sovereign of Persia Another eastern potentate owns pearl of 121S carats, which is quite transparent. It Is to be had for the sum of $20O,O ,OO0. Princess Yous- soupoff has an Oriental pearl which is unique for the beauty of its color. In 1920 this pearl was sold by Georgibus of Calais to Philip W. of Spain at the price of S0,000 ducats. To-day it is val ued at S325, ,000. Pope Leo MIL, again, owns pearl left to him by his prede- cesSor on the throne of St. Peter, which is worth S1OO,OO0, and the chain of thirty-two pearls owned by Empress Frederick is estimated at $175, 1000. One million dollars is the price of the five chains of pearls forming the collier of Baroness Gustave de Rothschild, and that of Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild is almost as valuable. Both these ladies are enthusiastic collectors of pearls, and their jewellers have in- structions to buy for them any pearl o1 unusual size or beauty which they may happen to come across The sister oi Mime. Thiers, Mile. Dosne, Is also the owner of a very valuable string o1 pearls, which she has collected during the last thirty years. Of so-called blacl, pearls the empress of Austria possesses the most valuable collection.
 A story Is told of the actress Mlle Marie Magnier and her pearls. One day, as she was about to appear on the scene, somebody made the remark that her pearls were really of an enormous size Ut Is true," she replied. ''The lady whom represent on the stage nc doubt wore smaller pearls in real life But what can I do? have no small pearls"

WONDERFUL SIGNAL LIGHT.

Messages Flashed a Distance of Eighty
 Five Miles.
 The experiments with a powerful search light on Mount Washington have had some highly interesting results, says the Youths Companion. The light, which is of one hundred thousand candle power. produces 8 sufficient H. illumination at distance of twenty miles from the summit of the mountain to render ordinary print legible- A narrow beam shot upward at an angle of forty five degrees was visible over head at Portland, eighty-fve miles away.
 The elevation of the light above the surface of the earth at Portland must have been more than eighty miles. Yet when it was made to flash ''dot and dash signals in the air, a telegraph operator at Portland readily interpreted the words thus transmitted to him, and to prove that he saw the signal, tele- graphed the words back to Mount Wash. ington.
 He could not see the light on the peak, which was hidden by intervening clouds, but only the beam of light pass. ing at a height of eighty miles above his head.
 This fact seems more surprising when we reflect upon the excessive rarity o1 the atmosphere at such an elevation for of course the beam of light would not be visible if 1t did not illuminate the air through which 1t passes, just as g ray of sunlight, entering through a knot hole, makes luminous beam in the dusty air of barn.
 It is evident at a glance that these experiments have a most important bearing upon the art and practice o1 signaling at a distance. Signal beams of light thrown high and far in the aiI may yet prove of immense use for mili tary and other purposes on land, and ir the guidance of vessels surrounded by perils at sea.

Mr.. Gladstone's passion for oil
books, or rather for volumes purchased
at a secondhand bookstalls, has not
decreased. Despite the cares of office,
he finds time to ransack the book
sellers shelves, and purchase tones
that he can never by any possibility
find time TO read. The Premier was
observed while at yarmouth enjoying
this characteristic amusement, and
anxious inquirers awaited his depart
ure from the dealers to know what he
had carried away with him. 1t is said
that any publication, ancient or
modern, referring to Ireland, has an
attraction for him that high price
can not quell.

Her presence unquestionably encour-

to unusual efforts, and the fact that
he undertook, and accomplished, a
sledge journey of thirteen hundred
miles, whereby he made many Won
derful discoveries, and confirmed his
theories as to the means of approach
ing the pole, may have been largely
due to the influence of Mrs. Peary, who
it is said, is proficient in the special
branches of science which have fitted
the Lieutenant for his arduous task.

STEVENSON ON THE RESULT.

President-elect Stevenson made a
short address to his tellow>citizens,
in the course of which be said:
"While, as Democrats, we rejoice
over the great victory we have
achieved, we should not forget that
we are all Americans. Democrats
and Republicans alike, we have one
country, one destiny. The glory
which attaches to the American
name ard to American achieve
ments belongs exclusively to no
party or section, but is the common
heritage of all our countrymen.
Nor should we forget that we are
equally interested in having wise
legislation and honest methods in
government
In concluding his speech, MIR.
Stevenson said:
The verdict of the people has
been pronounced against a prohibi~
tory tariff. But letno apprehension
be felt that the business interests of
the country will be imperiled. A re-
ducticn of the tariff within safe lines
will conserve, not destroy, the bust
ness interests ofthe country. For the
first time in almost third of cen.
fury the Democrats will control
all departments of the Government.
With this great power will come
grave responsibilities. You have
wisely selected for the highest office
known to our Constitution a states
man whose administration has stood
the critical test and is a guarantee
OF what is TO follow.
Crest assured that with Grover
Cleveland as President and with the

men of his political faith the Gov
ernmcnt will be safely administered,
and the Legislation will be in the
interest of all the people,
