The influence of forests in protect
ing the water supply is well illustrated
in the case of Greece. In ancient days
she possessed 100000 acres of forest.
To-day she has hardly 1000, 900 acres,
and the scarcity of water and other in
furious climatic effects are traceable to
the destruction of the trees.

The bugle horn was once called the
buffalo horn, and it apparently derives
it's name from the bugle, or extinct au-
roch, the wild OK of Great Britain. In
the Isle of Wight the bulls head on inn
signs is often accompanied by the word
bugle, and the French term for the low
ing of cattle is still beugler.

railway station with clock towe" CIV
ing the time in four countries. Trains
run into or depart from the station every
fifteen mn dtes. Station agents, tele-

tic, Conn, has copy of the prayer
book printed in the Mohawk language
for the Rev. John Ogilvie, assistant

The famous handwriting expert,
David N. Carvalho, asserts that ''nc
| man does or can write his signature
twice exactly alike" He therefore ad-
vances the startling proposition that
"when two signatures purporting tc
have been written by the same person
are precisely alike it is safe to conclude
that one of them is forgery"
| The most ingenious of all inven
tions is that produced by patient
German. He has made mechanical
boy which will, by simply winding up
walk up hill and down dale regardles:
of the condition of the roads, and will
push load of passengers or freight
The figure is five feet in height and i!
dressed in shirt and trousers and cal
push weight of $50 pounds at speed
of fast walker. At present it makes
rather too much noise, and in thi
heightens it's resemblance to the human
boy.
An order has been issued from thu
Siamese military headquarters that th
troops in one of the largest garrison
are to be employed every day in fl.
catching. Every man is expected Il
capture each day match box full o
blue bottle flies, and if he does not per
form the duty he will be compelled, a
penalty, to row around the islant
where the troops are in camp. TIL
order seems to be ridiculous, but tn
Siamese are taking it seriously. The
say there is great need for cleaning ou
myriads of flies that are making lif
miserable at that particular encamE
ment.
