GA DUTIFUL FALsEHOoD.v
GOdey's for March Has u Story of
St. Paul Life

The March number of Godey's Magazine
which reached st. Paul yesterday, contains
short story of some local interest, "a
Dutiful Falsehood," by Frederic Leigh
The interest is accumulated by the fact that
the unique plot is based on an actual in
ctdent which occurred in ST. Paul. 1t is not
only original, but quite dramatic in its ac-
ton, so much SO that Rupert Hughes, of the
magazine staff, who writes for the stage as
Beaumont Fletcher, has secured permission
to dramatic the story for one-act curtain
raiser.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
The Cost OF Calcium Tungstate Great
~ Lessened.

DENVER, May 26.-Dr. Chaun-
cey E. Tenant Jr., Professor of
chemistry at the Homeopathic
College in this city, has m ade a
d discovery which will Be of consid-
cradle interest to experimenters
with X ray apparatus. Edison
some time ago announced to the
world that he had discovered that
calcium tungstate was made huor-
escent by the X rays, and this
chemical at once disappeared from
the market on account of its rarity,
as we'll as the demand for it
for use in microscopes. The
price was 80 cents q gramme or
about So an ounce, and it has
been almost impossible to get it
at that price except from the Edi-
son factory.
DIR. Tenant went to work on the
chemical and now announces that
it can be made for less than so
cents an ounce and possibly for
81 pound. Samples made by
two different processes give excel
lent fuorescence with the rays.
1t is unlikely that either of the
process will be patented, but after
some work in simplifying so that
the chemists of any public school
may make the preparation, the
whole subject will be published
for the benefit of the scientific
world.

RAILROAD YARD TERRORS.
Even Train Men Cannot Cross the Tracks
ut Night Without Being Confused.


at Night Without Being Confused.
"1t's hard for the ordinary traveller
TO realize the terrors of the average
railroad yard" said an old and expert
enoed trainman at one of the big Jersey
city terminals 10 Sun reporter. The
coInmuter who scans the yards daily
as he is smoothly riding through them,
naturally enough fails TO appreciate
the mass of detail in the duties of the
men who are employed to switch him
safely into the station OF course, the
routine work we do, fraught with re-
sponsibility and danger as it is, becomes
mechanical enough to us in time, but
there Is one thing that 1 have never
been able to do with GOODNESS in all the
years 1 have been employed here, and
that Is to cross this network of tracks
at night The experience of Thomas
Baker, the freight clerk at the Lehigh
Valley station, in Communipaw, is proof
that / am not the only hardened rail-
roader afflicted in that way. Baker was
run down by an engine because he got
bewildered in the maze of tracks. I
don't blame him. Why. it's enough tn
gre man heart disease 10 attempt To
cross such an aggregation of rails. with
lot of headlights moving ali around
him and scores of bells ringing and
whistles ringing in his ears.
Every time that am compelled 70
make such trip-and l only do so now
adays when l am compelled to get
the lay of the land well in my mind,
and note which engines are moving and
which are not; but it Is OF no use By
the time I'm in the middle of the yard
ny head Is in a whirl. the headlights
are dancing all around me. and / skip
and dodge around frantically until l
get safely on the other side. Usually
most OF the locomotives are standing
still in the trainshed, but it's hard 70
believe it when you are in front OF

Jersey City have trick OF walking into
the station from the yard 20 save the
trouble of going around or the regular
way, but when / can I always warn

BOY CRAB FISHERS.
They Capture the Shellfish In the Slim,
Mud Above Low Water.

They Capture the Shellfish In the Shiny
Mud Above Low Water.
The crab fishermen who catch the
delicate shellfish with net or line have
now got competitors in the business
who have it in their power to sell very
cheap because there is little work for
them to do, and they nearly always
make good hauls. The new rivals are
the boys who loaf around the water
front below Channel street.
Some time ago several thousand piles
were anchored in the bay, and as they
hoated about colony of crabs found
them SO pleasant they forgot to get off
when the tide went down. All that was
then necessary for the boys to do was
to go out and pick them up.
AS soon as the crabs heard the sound
of footsteps they would drop of the
piles, but instead of striking the cool
waters of the bay would dropinto a
sticky pool of Shiny black mud. In this
position they could do nothing,to help
they were served cracked" on free
lunch counters.
The boys do very well at the work,
often catching several dozen in a day.
But it is impossible to conceive of q
more dirty job. They become covered
with the ill-scented black slime. How
ever. they don't object TO that, but
rather think it adds TO the hilarfty of
the pastime.-San Francisco Call

DEFECTS OF THE TELESCOPE.
Where the Reflector Is Superior to the
Achromatic Lens.

The best possible two-lens objective,
made from such materials as are q.
present obtainable in disks of any con.
siderable size, sins grievously in not
bringing the light rays OF different
color To any single focus-its ZACH
romatism" is far from absolute. In the
case of this 40-inch lens the greenish
yellow rays come together at a point
nearly six inches nearer TO the lens
than do the violet; SO that the image OF
q bright star is surrounded by a strong
purple halo, which is usually pro
nounced perfectly lovely" by a female
tyro, but is an abomination to the as
tronomer. It is particularly annoying
in spectrosoopic or Photographic work.
and where such work is specially IL
hand the fact that the reflector Is en-
tirely FREQ from it, treating rays OF
every color impartially in the matter Of
focus. goes far to condone its peculiar
weaknesses.
This imperfection Of the ordinary OBJ
ject glass is In no respect the fault OF
the optician, but lies in the material
itself. Experiments, subsidized by the
German government, have been going
on at jena during the last dozen years
for the purpose OF remedying the evil,
with special reference, however, TO the
improvement of the microscope. In
that complete success has been
reached, and there is much reason To
hope that before long 1t may become
possible 20 obtain varieties Of glsss
which in combination will give salts

important as was Dollond's invention
Of the present achromatic lens. Thus
far, however, no great success has BEEN
attained with telescopes Of any con-
siderable magnitude, though an Eng
lish firm is low offering 70 make three
lens detectives up TO 20 inches IN diafa-
euer, which are advertised as practpc-
ally perfect in their aehromatisIn. A
six-inch lens OF this construction has

STOCKS AND COLLARS.
The Neck Finish a Distinctive Touch to
the Fashionable Toilet.

the Fashionable Toilet.
Like the separate waist fashion,

which fourishes with time and grows

1t has come to be quite the seal of an
artistic dressmaker TO create pretty fin

cred realm of the style on which capri
cious fashion has set her hall mark OF
the moment. A cluster of ribbon loops

the plumpness of youth.
The Straightforward and very full
frills are more used in London than
here, the American woman for some
reason Directing to this arrangement
and refusing to adopt it.
With fichu bodices the throat is

oession, the neckbands of tailor-made
gowns are higher than ever, and fire.

a ribbon band. The long-necked wom-
All finds this style of admirable pur-
pose, but the stout woman whose head
seems TO be fitted upon her collar bones
simply obliterates what little throat
she might have.
For the deoollete corsage the almost
always becoming broad black velvet
ribbon is again in vogue.
In addition to the neck finishes
shown, which are part of the frock bod
ice, the range of separate "collarettes"
and "throatlets" is very wide. ANY

Curing a snakes blindness.

One of the most poisonous snakes n,
the London zoo, king cobra, recently
became nearly blind. When il shed its
skin it threw off every part except the
transparent plate which covers the eye,
After each change of skin this plate re-
manned uncast, and the successive layers
became opaque, and projected over the
eye in horny boss. The keeper used
the snake habit of creeping through an
aperture which It can find in the wall OF
its cage TO rid itself of the growth over
the eve. He drew back the iron shutter
which separates one compartment from
the other, leaving n narrow space open.
The cobra soon discovered this, and
pushed it's nose into the crack. This
was slightly widened, and the snake
squeezed through, rubbing of one Of
the scales as it did so. II was then in
duced TO go back by the way il had
come; and after this had been repeated
once or twice it cleared the scale from
tho other eye. Since then IL has cast
is skin completely and its eyes are ap.
parently none the worse for its tenn
porary blindness. Snakes naturally
drag themselves through rough grass
aud holes 20 get rid OF the old skin which
clings TO them.-London Public Opinion.
