"Living Stones" of Falkland.

The most curious specimens of vege-
table or plant life in existence are tine
so called Giving stones of the Falk-
land islands. Those islands are among
the most cherries spots in the world,
being constantly subjected to a strong
polar wind In such climate il is i'm
possible for trees to grow erect, rs they
do i'll other countries, but nature has
made amends by furnishing a supply of
wood III the most curious shape imagi
nable. The visitor TO the Falklands sees,
scattered here and there, singular shaped
blocks of what appears to be weather
beaten and moss covered howlders of
various sizes. Attempt to turn ole on
these "bowlders" over and you will
meet with a surprise because the sup
posed stone is actually anchored by roots
Of great strength. In fact, you will find
that you are fooling with one of the
native trees No other country i'll the
world has such peculiar forest
growth, and it is said to be next to i'm
possible to work the odd shaped blocks
into fuel because it is perfectly devoid
of grain, and appears to be nothing
but a twisted mass of woody fibers. -

There Is no place in the world where
more dirty paper money is handled
from day to day than III the national
bank redemption division of tho treas
ury department. There are in existence
some 3, 800 national banks, each of
which has outstanding bank notes rang
ing in amount from $40, 900 or SIP, 600
up to noorly $500, 000 Every dollar of
these notes passes through the hands of
the men and women employed in the
national bank redemption division
This Office has been in existence HOW
for about 30 years. There are employed
in the division somewhere about -
girls and women. They handle untold
millions of bills III the course OF a
year, and if there was any danger from
contagious and infections diseases in old
bank notes it would scom rs though
this would be the place to find symp-

Yet Mr.. Rogers, who has been chief
of the division for ten years. and who
has been connected with it since it was
organized, assured the spondcnt
that there has never been Il case Of in

"reminiscences in his recently published
autobiography is Nine Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt, of whom the image has
faded away for the present generation,

AMI womanly singer who had the high
est devotion to her art, saying, II sing
to God and whose home life and man

womanliness. Jenny Lind had passed
beyond the bloom of youth when Sy-

and her expression as magical The fol

A freless locomotive engine was re
Gently used on the AlX-la-C hapellr
Julieh railway. The motor power is de
rived from soda The invention is based
on the principle that solutions of eaus-
tic soda, which have high boiling points,
liberate heat while absorbing steam
These engines eject neither smoke nor
steam and work noiselessly. Compared
with coal burning locomotives, soda en-
gines show a capacity equal to the for
mer, while they are worked with greater
ease and simplicity.

For the past few weeks the cities of New England have been visited by Jewett the magician, and New Haven will have its turn at the Hyperion theater on Easter Monday evening, when this contemporary of Hermann and Kellar is booked to give an en- tertainment under the auspices of Ad- miral Foote post The Norwich Bull letin said recently of Jewett; "The audiences were afforded the pleasure of being mystified and amused by Jewett, the magician. The clever per- formance takes rank with the most skillful and facile prestidlgitators now before the public. In the main his feats in the domain of the Black Art are new, or newly adapted old ones, which keep the interest of the spectators at the highest pitch, and at which when he laughingly explains them, they are more hypnotized than ever"
