CoNJuRoR,s MISTAKE.

Performed Trick on the Queen of
Madagascar to His Sorrow.
A French conjuror. doing performance
at the court of MAZDA gascar, asked the queen
through an interpreter il ste would taste a
glass of wine. On her refusal the conjurer
with simulated anger enptied the glass over
her, and the contents dropped In the shape
OF a rose into her majesty's lap.
The court functionaries were so fndig-
nant ct his proceeding that they jumped
up from their seats, insisted upon the
queen sleaving the apartments and charged
the performer with high treason. The
unfortunate man had to be protected by the
native troops from the fury of the populace.
and was compelled to leave the capital
before daybreak.-Paris Temps.

Why FROST EXPANDS WATER
Puzzled Over tho Well
known Phenomenon.

Bcientists Puzzled Over the Well
known Phenomenon.
One Of the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and one which has never rs
yet been explained by the philosophers.
II that In reference to the expansion of
freezing wate-. The case Of water is
q singular exception to all natural laws
Of expansion by heat and contraction
by cold, which apply in cases OF all
other known liquids. When water is
freezing it contracts In bulk down 10
the point where the mercury reaches
the reading Of 391a degrees, of ~ de-
grees above freezing, from which point
it slowly expands according to the in
tensity Of cold. No other liquid Is
known to possess this remarkable prop
erty, except that certain metals expand
slightly in passing from a liquid to
solid state. But II heat be applied to
water after 1t has cooled down to
temperature of 391a degrees (the point
where 1t Is ready to begin expanding
should a greater degree Of cold be up
plied) 1t will Immediately expand by
the universal law. But should we
lower the temperature to 80 degrees 1t
will expand by it's own special law.
Another curious point to be noted here
Is this: That the amount of expansion
IL as great in water lowered from 1914
degrees down to 80 degrees as it is in
water that has been heated SO that the
temperature runs up from 891a to Al
degrees. These points are certainly
odd and curious and worthy of attcn-
ton and experiment.-St. Louis Re

Invention Of balloons,

The admirers of crinoline will be
proud to learn that the invention Oi
balloons is owing to similar con.
trlvance. The French give a curious
anecdote of a simple occurrence which
led the inventor of such machines
Montgolfler-to turn his attention to
the subject. 1t is to this effect: A
washerwoman Of the Rue aux Jnifs,
in the Marais, placed petticoat on
a basket-work frame, over stove, to
dry. In order to concentrate all the
heat, and 30 prevent its escaping by
the aperture at the top she drew the
strings closely together which are
used to tie it round the waist By
degrees the stuff dried, became
lighter, and the stove continuing to
heat and rarely the air concentrated
under the framework, the petticOat
began to move. and at last rose in the
air. The washerwoman was SO as
tonshed that she ran out to call her
neighbors; and they, seeing 1t sus.
pended in the air. were amazed One
Individual. however, simple paper
maker from Annonay, named Mont
golfer, "a much astonished but more
sensible than the others, returned
home. and without loss Of time
studied the work Of Priestly on diff
ferent kinds OF atmosphere. The re-
suit was the discovery of the first
balloon, called MontgOlf1er's of which
he was the inventor. The Nautilus
probably gave the idea of a sailing
vessel; SO also very simple causes
often produce great and unexpected
results

Captain Vaughan, Of the British bark

peaches and other fruit when in season,
md it is safe to say that provender OF
that sort was never seen going into a
lorecastle before. At sea he has no such
thing as an allowance. every sailor on
the bark being privileged to eat all he
wants to and can hold. The men have
fresh bread every day, and all the "hard
tack" they want, canned meats, pota-
toes. vegetables and fruit. Strange as
1t may seem, the cost IL less than that
Of any other vessel of the same line.
Besides this, the men work more cheer

owners are satisfied, as he II saving

TREE LORE.

The imaginative writers of enter
taining folks lore, and seductive fairy.
tales, either possessed accurate knowl-
edge of the creative attributes of seem
ingly virtueless objects, or they were
endowed with the spirit Of prophecy,
for, in giving apparently impossible
tasks to be executed by the prince and
princess imprisoned by cruel god
mothers and malicious fairies, they
merely suggested possibilities, which
in time, became realized facts.
Il The fairy weaving Of cloth of gold,
but of threads of straw is not more as
tonishing than the production of gelso-
line, the new silken fabric prepared
direct from the fibre of the bark of the
mulberry tree, without the interven-
ton of the silk worm, and no magical
changes in fairy-land are more wonder-
full than the evolutions of the wood
Of pine and spruce, which has lately
been presented to the favored few. in
the form of fine cotton, and an attrac-
tive glossy or brilliant cloth in all de.
sirable colors.
1t has for many years been known
in Georgia, that the long needle leaves
of the singing pine when deprived of
their sharp point, make delightful
beds, and those same leaves, when
subjected to certain chemical treat
ment yield a flexible fibre that is
woven into a flannel, finer, yet very
like the German waldwolle, and this
material is so largely impreguated with
the oily and resinous virtues of the
parent tree that the wearing of the gar
ments made of the flannel is said to be
a sure cure for rheumatism and con-
sumption.
From the body wood of these same
trees is now produced an article largely
used in the construction of fashionable
garments for men and women-a
6brous skln-like material known as
Fibre Chamois and used as interlining
Or for stiffening purposes.
Instead of being woven, this skin
cloth is made a ter the manner of felt,
the fibres being held together by sutiic-
lent quantity of pulp to serve as bed
or body for the strong threads that
create the outstanding qualifications
of Fibre Chamois, and enable it to re-
slst pressure, and TO endure rough
treatment without Generalization,
when placed in sleeves, skirts, capes,
and other spreading parts of feminine
apparel.
Thus, from one family of trees and of
its relative branches, Pinus and Picea,
We procure aromatic beds choice wood
for building purposes. fuel or light
wood, charcoal, paper, the strongest of
car wheels, a bark used in tanning
leather, a varnish, a dye, a resin, tur-
pentine, ali essential oil used as per-
fume or for medicine, adrlnk--spruce
beer, a food from the nut-like winged
iced, and the inner lining of the bark,
= strong rope, silken stuffs and cotton
cloths health giving flannels, together
with the useful and popular interlining
material, the curious and serviceable
Fibre Chamois.
