his was surprising news for the little
town OF Rochester, N. H., where all the

The awful Indian bugaboo, the
"witched tree" of Calcutta, stands near
the residence of G. G, Dillon, an English
lawyer, on the Stanley road. few miles
out from Calcutta. 1t is not botanical
freak of the "cannibal" or "bloodsuck-
ing" variety, neither is 1t tree which
exhales poisonous vapors or other deadly
elements-it issimply aspecies of churail
which the natives and not few OF the
English residents believe to be bewitched.
Away back in the sixteenth century
Serega Dowlah and % Of his men camped
under it about 2 o'clock one morning,
and at daylight all but two were dead.
One Of the survivors remained chat
tering idiot all the rest of the days of his
life, and the other died horrible death
within the month of terrible eruption
that swelled his body out of all proper
tions. In the seventeenth century the
tree claimed a score or more OF victims.
What they died of no one knew.
My record does not mention the casu-
alities Of the eighteenth century, but
during the present century they have
been quite numerous. The last victim
was servant of Mr.. Kemp Of the
British department. He took refuge un-
der the cursed tree to escape a storm. A
sowar, or mounted policeman, tried to
rescue the servant. but the two men and
horse were found dead next day. Since
1880 FIVE persons have been struck by
lightning within 100 feet of the "witched
tree."-St, Louis Republic.

An official statement of tests made at
the Massachusetts arsenal to ascertain
the effect OF temperature on the strength
Of iron has appeared. The specimens
were heated by rows Of bunsen burners,
which were arranged in muffie, and
the temperatures Of the test specimens
were judged by their observed expan-
sions. Each piece was heated to the
temperature Of the test before being
strained and its expansion determined
by micrometer, and the coeficient OF
expansion of each grade of metal having
been determined before the tests began
the temperature could be inferred with
considerable precision.
An abstract Of five Of these tests-the
temperatures being all on the Fahrenheit
scale--is in evidence that the strength OF
steel is greater at above 500 degrees than
Ii IL at 20. These five series OF tests
were made with five different qualities
Of steel, containing, respectively, 90, 20,
81, 81 and 81 per cent Of carbon, and
the percentage of strength was obtained
by dividing the tensile strength of o
sample of steel at the given temperature
by the strength Of the same quality OF
steel at 10 degrees. The result presents
the interesting fact that the specimens
in question were all stronger in the
neighborhood of zero than they were at
ordinary temperatures, all of them, in
fact, showing minimum of strength at
2l0 degrees or thereaboLts and maxi
mum of strength at about 5co.-New

Leathery winged Bats.

Most curious in origin of all nocturnal
insect hunters are the leathery winged
bats, which may be regarded, practi-
cally speaking, as very tiny monkeys,
highly specialized for the task Of catch
ing nocturnal flies and midges. Few
people know how nearly they are re-
lated to us. They belong to the self
same division of the higher mammals as
man and the apes. Their skeleton an
swers TO ours, bone for bone and joint

Only the unessential fact that they have
very long fingers with web between as

them as remote cousins, once removed

waited train on the Sixth avenue road yes
terdny morning. A fat, drowsy man
stumbled into the car. He beckoned to
the guard and handed him quarter.
"Seventy-second street." he said.
Right" said the guard.
When the train reached Seventy-sec-

and the latter sleepily left the train.
"Do you get many such patrons?" was
asked the guard.
ooh, yes was the reply. "Some
