To Cool the Atmosphere.

A Western inventor recently pat
entea scheme by which he claims he
can artifcially cool whole commun-
ity at little expense. At certain in
tervals he would erect skeleton towers
like windmill towers-each having
an electric trolley wire running from
bottom to top. The wire transports
peculiarly made bombs to the top,
where they are exploded by electricity.
The bombs contain liquifed carbonic
acid gas, which, when liberated by the
explosive, will instantly evaporate and
severely chill the surrounding atmos-
phere.

Misnt Shoe ShOps.

New York City has developed num-
erous unusual industries. On the East
side, in the neighborhood of Grand
and Norfolk streets, are several small
stores which are known to the irrev-
erent youth of that neighbour
hood as "boot and shoe mishtteries.
The stock in trade is announced, and
is supposed to consist of boots and
shoes made to order which have been
returned by some customer whom they
did not exactly suit The misfitters
are marvelously skillful in their work,
and will deceive anybody but an ex-
pert. A favorite trick is to restore a
shoe and then put two or three blots
of ink on the lining. The suave
dealer offers you the lining and says:
Gust as good as new, only some care
less clerk dropped the ink on it, and
it was ruined for that first class store. :"
Shoes made for Patti, Langtry, Prin-
cess Eulalie aud other feminine celeb
ritiesare always kept in stock. The
customers of these places are of a very
good class, and consist usually of
young women who desire to get fash
ionnble boots worth $40 to SIS for 81
or So, and who do not mind the fact
that these are shop-worn, misft or
some secondhand so long as they can
make their associates believe what the
misiit dealer told them about the ink
blots.

EXCHANGING STAMPS WITH THE GEAR.

EXCHANGING STAMPS WITH THE GEAR.
Some time ago the attention of
mother in Clapham, England, was at
tracted to her little boy by the fact
that he lay at full length on the Ii
brary floor, evidently deeply involved
in the intricacies of letter writing.
All inquiries as to the purport and
proposed destination of the lDborious
production failed to elicit further re-
mark than an advice to "wait while"
At last the missive ended with a
scrawling superscription and an inn
mense sigh of relief, and it was
proudly borne to the father and
mother that they might be afforded
an opportunity of expressing their en-,
tire satisfaction, which was evidently
expected.
Imagine their surprise when their
eyes fell upon the following:
"Dear Czar-Since the death of
your father you must have received
great deal of foreign postage stamps
on letters from your friends who were
sorry for you. am collecting post
age stamps, and if you will please
send me good lot of yours will
send you some English ones in re.
turn"
The parents at first laughed at the
idea, but the little man was so evil
IDENTIFY pleased with this idea of his
young brain that they finally deter
mined to allow him to post it, never
imagining that it would really fall be-
meath the royal gaze.
With both the parents and the child
the thing was already fast becoming a
thing Of the forgotten past, when the
post of few mornings ago brought
the young fellow rather bulky en-
velope, bearing upon it the seal and
arms OF the royal house of Russia. Tt
the little fellows delight he found, Oh
opening it, that it was packed with
stamps of all nationalities.
The labored missive had evidently
reached its destination, and hat

CoAx1xa BIRDS TO SING.

A young japanese naturalist tells Of
an ingenious device employed by bird
fanciers in his country whereby they
cause a certain greatly admired thrush
or lark to commence his singing much
earlier than is his natural won't This
they do by partially screening bright
light set not far away from the birds
cage. The hour is 3 o'clock in the
morning, and the artless bird is in
duced to believe that the sun is al
ready risen, and that the season is
later than it is in reality, and, there
fore he begins to sing the love ditties
due at later time.

THE PROUD FROG.

It was a moonlight night, and the
water was SO bright that q great, green
frog was using it for looking-glass.
He thought he was very fine fellow.
"Ker-chugi ker-chugw said he.
''What a nice big frog am, and not
a bit like that little bird that sits over
there on the bush. 1 wouldn't be SO
small for anything. just hear what a
weak little 'chirp' it has, while my

The little bird, awakened by the
noise, hoped about on the branch
and began to sing.
"Why, he can sing, too" said the
frog. II am not sure but that he
sings little better than do. But
he's a poor thing, afraid of the water,
I believe / will take . dive" He
plunged into the pond and came up
again; but the splashing be made SO
frightened the bird that it Jew away
up into the sky. The frog now looked
after it in wonder.
