Raising Talking Parrots.

The talking powers of a parrot depend
to great extent on it's being taken in
hand at very early age. This would
be one advantage of rearing these birds
in confinement. Under such conditions
also it would be practicable to vastly
improve the speaking faculty by mating
the best takers together for generations.
Thus would be produced such feathered
conversationists as are unknown up to
date It would certainly be profitable
to breed and raise the parrots known as
Carolina parrakeets. These are rare now
and bring high prices, though they used
to be very common as far north as Penn
sylvania and Illinois. At present the
few survivors are almost wholly con-
fined to scattered localities in Florida
and the Indian Territory. They have
been successfully bred in captivity. The
green Australian parrakeets of the sort
used by strolling fortune tellers on the
streets are among the easiest of birds
to rear.-Washington Star.

A dams Stolen Rib.

In one of the many and varied COM
ments on the creation Of women in the
Talmud, the Emperor Hadrian is intro
duced as conversing with Rabbi CANA
iel on several religious questions. With
the object of casting ridicule on the
Bible, Hadrian exclaims: "Why, your
God is represented therein as thief!
He surprised Adam in his sleep and
robbed him of one of his ribs!'' 4
The rabbits daughter, who was pres
ent, Graves permission to reply to the
emperor. This is granted her. "But
first let me implore thy imperial protec-
ton, puissant sire!" she exclaims. "A
grave outrage has been perpetrated on
our house" who has dared to inflict
any harm on the abode of a friend?''
asked the sovereign.
Under cover of the night an auda-
cious thief broke into our house, took q
silver fagon from our chest and left q

that such robbers might visit my palace
every day!' And was not the Creator

Adam of rib, and in lieu thereof gave
him loving, lovely bride?"- Chief Rab-
bi Adler in Nineteenth Century.

A Cathedral Dungeon.

Chichester cathedral has secret dun

It is also provided with secret en-
trance, admission to which is obtained
by sliding panel in room at one time
used as a library. The cathedral, found
ed in 1870, was renovated after fire in
lila, and restored after another fire in
1887. It consists Of a nave of eight
bays and four aisles. a transept with
chambers instead of aisles, central
steeple and southwest tower.
Carlisle cathedral, during the period
OF the Jacobite rebellion, was used as q
huge dungeon. and many rebels were
imprisoned there in 1745. The chief en-
gineer in the royal forces even demand
ed the bells as his perquisites, which
claim the dean and chapter successfully
resisted. Having been used for this
purpose, the cathedral was left in such
an intolerable state of filth that not till

The Kafirs Thought 1t a Joke.

once took some Kaffirs from their
desolate island home in the Himalayan
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civilized south Like most
savayes. they looked with stupid indif-
ference at the marvels about them, and
once only were they excited by an Incl
dent which opened their eyes to what
they considered a most extraordinary
and unnatural state of things. ..-'
They were descending road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that he
was hungry, and the English "sallib's
bought him some food at wayside
shop. The Kafhr saw the money change
hands
How is this?' he inquired in sur
prise. DO you have to pay for food in
this country?'' -
Certainly"
What a country!' cried the man in
amazement. Then after bordering
awhile he continued doubtfully: Sup
pose man had no money in this coun.
try. He might starve:''
''It is quite possible"
The Kaffr shook with uncomfortable
laughter. It was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the ridic-
ulous system to his companions. and they
roared in here Three EN-

Wonders of Geom etrical Progression.

Wonders of Geometrical Progression.
The story of Sysla and the king is usu-
ally told as good illustration of geo.
metrical progression. Sysla, SO the story
goes, was the inventor of the game of
chess. The king was SO delighted with
the diversion that he promised to grant
any request the inventor might make.
Sysla. who must have been a mathema-
tician as we'll as a mechanical genius.
only asked that the generous king would
put one grain Of wheat on the first
square of the board and double the
amount upon each successive square up
to and including the sixty fourth. Lucas
de Burgo says that there was not enough
wheat in the kingdom to pay the crafty
inventor, which was 18,446, IA, O73, 7O9,-
$50, 615 grains! According to curious
medley Of figures published in the Louis
vile Courier-Jo urnal, there are 49,, 600
grains in a bushel Of wheat. How many
bushels did the modest inventor ask for?
The number of bushels as given in the
book ''Curiosities of the Game and Play
of Chess" fall more than one-third short

Novel Block Signal system,

The Weehawken tunnel of the West
Shore railway in New Jersey, which is
1900 feet in length, has novel block
signal system. The arrangement con-
sists of line Of incandescent electric
lamps about 800 feet apart and placed
on level with the eye of the engine
driver. When the lamps are all alight,
it is an indication of safety. Each train
passing through extinguishes the lamps
for distance of LOO feet in it's rear, q
result which is automatically effected
by an electrically connected track cir
cult, whereby the lamps are kept under
the continuous control of the train. The
operators in the signal towers at each
end of the tunnel can also extinguish the
lights in any section of the tunnel if oc-
casion requires. This system appears to
e1nbody number of exceedingly valu-
able features, and if successful in prac-
tice cannot but increase the traffic ca
pacity of long tunnel largely beyond
that which is possible by the methods of
signaling heretofore in use. -Engineer-

longs in a peculiar to ones one country
or to ones own special part Of it. A

Making Up the Face.

Actors have always painted the face to
render: it more expressive, or rather to
give it some sort of expression when
seen at a distance which it would other
wise lack if, as in ancient Greece, masks
were not employed for that purpose.
China furnishes probably the best exam
pie Of the antiquity of the custom. The
use of the mask in Greek theaters, which
were vast and had not the modern re-
source of achromatic glasses, was ex-
cusable or even necessary. The Roman
theaters were smaller. and the desired
facial expression was obtained by the
application of color. In Shakespeare's
time. when female parts were played by
men, painting of the face was absolutely
essential to the required illusion. Sim
liar reasoning is used on the modern
stage when painting the face is consid-
cred necessary for the stimulation Of
youth or age, or to make the features
more expressive at distance.
The practice is in many cases excuse
BILE or even indispensable. for if the
actor or actress has not a good stage
face, but one of those round, inexpress-
i've countenances in which eyes, nose
and mouth are at the distance of 20 feet
inextinguishably blended, it is certainly
permissible to obtain some measure of
facial expression by artificial means. It
is another question whether the contem-
porary woman should ever apply any
substance to her face to make her appear
younger, more beautiful or in any sense
what she is not.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

Place water in an ordinary wash bowl
and remove the plug; and it will be OBJ
served that in passing out the water
forms a circular reaction. Air being
liquid does the same in passing either
upward or downward, hence the funnel
shaped spout of the cyclone center.
When two immense bodies Of air COM
ing from opposite directions meet, the
only egress is upward and sideways, and
in passing upward it forms the funnel
the same as water passing out of wash
bowl downward.
The theory that a cyclone forms a
vacuum is absurd. Withdraw air from
a glass jar with an air pump and a feath-
er within the vacuum formed will drop
with the same velocity as lead, or, on the
other hand, you can compress air until it
is heavier to the square inch than wood,
in which case wood will float in the air.
The lifting power of cyclone is
caused first by the compression or
density Of the air, and second by it's We
locity. Combining the power of density

A Rare Genius.

Of real genius bya poor stage supernu-
merary. It happened during battle
scene in Henry V at a Philadelphia
theater. In lull in the firing the au-
dience discovered that fly at the top of
the stage was ablaze. A stampede was
imminent. Half the people in the house
were already on their feet. Two men
could be seen aloft, making desperate eff
forts to tear away the burning scene.
This added to the CONSERVATION. An
other instant and panic would have
ensued, in which many lives would have
been lost. .s.

The effect was magical. Few believed
the statement, but unconsciously every
