place. The first boy answered Gull
oden,' putting the accent on the first
syllable, which may be taken as the
accepted cockney pronunciation. Never
heard of such a place" said the teach
er, and he passed to the next youth,
who replied "Culloaden,' accenting the
middle syllable. This is the ordinary
English pronunciation. Right" said
the teacher, and he loaded him with
the marks earned by correct answer.
The first youth was not quite satisfied,
and asked a Scotch professor the cor
rect pronunciation. That learned gen
thman replied that "Cull-oden" was
vera weer' for a cockney, and ''Cul+
loaden" was ''guid eneuch'' for an En-
glishman, but that the correct pronun-
citation was "Culluden," with the ac-
cent on the 'lud" And sure enough
he produced typographical dictionaries
to prove his contention. The young
student" says that if he was wrong so
was the teacher This question is some
thing like the pronunciation of Trafal-
gar Correctly, the accent of that word
is on the last syllable. but the exigep-l
cies of a song placed It on the second,
where, for Englishmen only, it has re-
manned ever since. The teacher ought
to have been content with the fact that
the first boy knew where the battle
took place.-London Telegraph.

A Postal Anomaly.

Here's business pointer" remarked
Thomas H. McCollin, the Photographic
supply man, pointing to an apparatus
for taking pictures at night. 1T came
from California by mail. Yes. by mail"
he repeated, noting the hearers express
sion of surprise. 1T weighs thirty-flve
pounds. and the postage-first class
amounted TO exactly $1O.96, requiring
one IS stamp, one s. stamp, one 81
stamp, one so cent stamp, one so cent
stamp, two of the cent denomination
and one 10 cent special delivery. Now
here's where the business end comes in.
Those big denomination stamps are sell
dom used, and are consequently scarce
Hence they bring good prices from coli
lectors The cancelled stamps on that
package bring us Sc, thereby reducing
the postage to $4.96, over 81 less than
the cost of expressage. Pretty clever
idea that, don't you think? When the
express companies get on to it, perhaps
they'll reduce their rates. "-Philadel-

There is, perhaps, no other group of
insects which in form and color are
SO generally initiative, and which nat
uralists have found more difficult to
detect in their haunts. Their bodies
often resemble the roughened bark of
the trees among which they live: or
they seem to have growing to them lit
tie f1ecks Of lichen or moss, which add
to the deception. The disguise Of the
walking leaf Phyllium is the more
striking to naturalist because he will
notice that whereas among all other
members of the tribe the wing covers
when they exist are greatly abbrevi-
ated, the very opposite is true in Phvl-
lUm, the wing covers, the only mem
bers which could be made to resemble
leaf to protection, being greatly de-
veloped, while the wings are aborted,
as If the wing covers were here de-
veloped for the express purpose of this
mimicry.
Twenty-Five years ago, at the Jardin
d Acclimatation. at Paris, some of
these walking leaves were exhibited
alive. They were placed on growing
plants, from which the larger part Of
the leaves were stripped, that the in
Sects might not too easily conceal
themselves. If a large placard an

lures had not drawn attention to them.

Aerial Flight.

Twill we ever f1y?" is question that
is now and again agitating many per-
sons of inventive tendencies. One of
the enthusiasts of this class has built
wings and adjusts them to his body in
somewhat the fashion that birds wear
theirs. When in full flight he striking
ly resembles an enormous dragon fly.
AS he has, up to the latest advices,
succeeded in flying only one or two hun
dred feet. it can scarcely be said that
he has demonstrated anything more
than the claim he makes that wings

must have gone out for the same purpose.
About 100 competitors entered for the race.
The course began with an ascent of
about 400 feet up steep hill, mostly

and was marked here and there by piece

are called, shuttle along, accomplishing a
distance of several feet at each STEP Down

slide backward. The men turn their toes
out and stamp the snow to get bite.

This legs apart and stamping the snow at
each step, is most amusing from behind,
