extensively in recent dispatches from Jack
sonville. He has been reported saying
in an interview that Weylers forces lost
1000 men in the battle of the Rubi hills
this month. He says he has been mis-
uuoteI, and that he spoke of an earlier
fight.

The Word "Doiiar."

According to one authority, the word
dollar is a corruption Of the German
word "thaler, the form in Dutch be-
ing 'daalder." All these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai, 4
Bohemian town, where the count Of
Schlick, a. D. 1913, coined some ex-
scellent pieces in silver of one ounce IN
weight. From the name Of the tow:e
came Joachim IS thaler, applied to the
above named coins as well as that oes
Schlicken thaler. Hence, Joachim; IS
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachim s thalers and then into thalers.
These coins gained such reput ation
/ that they became Is pattern, SO that

Groceries In BroOklvn.

Nowhere are the grocery stores thick
er than in Brooklyn. On many Of the
main arteries of traffic one will find cor
ner after corner occupied by grocery
store, with often one or two grocers in
the middle of the same block And
they all seem to thrive New York city
boasts a more luxurious class Of people
than the average Brooklyn grocer sup
plies, but the standard Of living on the
average is higher in the City of Church
.es than elsewhere, and the grocers sell
a better average quality Of goods there.
Originality is not common virtue in
Brooklyn grocerdom, however, nor is it
frequently met with anywhere else, for
that matter, but in the City OF Church
es "a more appropriate name would be
the City Of Grocers) one is led to look
for greater variety of store decoration
and display Of goods and in methods Of
doing business from the simple fact
that most Of the ablishments are 90
neat and clean and the goods so attract
i've and well displayed. New York

and how, when it appeared next morn

minister hall, because my eyes were SO
dimmed with joy and pride that they
could not bear the street." Charles
Mathews the elder describes the delight
with which he gazed on the first proof
Of his translation of 'sThe Princess Of
Cleves,'' which appeared by monthly
installments in The Lady's Magazine, as
"boundless, - and how he fancied the
eyes of Europe were upon him, and that

CANDLE POWER.
How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Effect of a Flame.

How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Effect of a Flame.
This question and it's answer have
been until recently Of interest to scien-
lists only. But since one method of
lighting is competing with the other
for superiority the question of lighting
power has seemingly becomes public
matter How many candle power? The
question is very simple and yet mysteri-
GUS to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are obtained by
means of a grease spot. In it's most sim
pie application the experiment. can be
tried easily at home. A sheet Of white
paper with a grease spot in the center
is put into frame and placed between
two flames of different lighting power
for instance, between an ordinary
candle and a lamp ~ ~ 5zzs
When the frame is equally distant
from the two unequally bright flames,
the grease spot can be seen plainly on
both sides. By moving the frame with
the sheet Of paper slowly toward the
less brilliant light-that is, the candle
it will arrive finally at {; point where
the grease spot has apparently disap-
peared on both sides Of the paper. This
deception must always occur when on
both sides of the paper an equal bright
ness prevails and no side light exists.
Having reached this point, it can be
ascertained how much stronger is the
light Of the lamp than that Of the can
die.
If the candle is 20 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp SO inches and
yet the brightness on both sides Of the
paper is the same, then the light of the
lamp will be as strong as that Of nine
candles. The calculation is based upon
the distances, the figures Of which are
multiplied by themselves and then di-
vided-here, for instance, 60 times go
divided by 20 multiplied by 20 equals 9.
This, of course, is the most primitive
method for measuring light, but it is
the principle for all the delicate instru-
ments used in the laboratories. Pear

If the city Of New York and the

or in some other, way entirely cut OFF
from the outside world, and therefore

normal times come in daily in large
quantities, how long would it be before
the pinch of hunger would be felt?
That is a very hard question to answer,
for the reason that there are such in.

New York society that some go hungry
in times of greatest prosperity for lack
Of means, while the great majority eat
more than is good for them. Undoubt-
eddy the number of those who always go
hungry would be increased after two or.
three days Of siege, and then day by
day this number would increase until
the public authorities would feel COM
PEELED to take possession Of the food sup
plies and distribute them among the
people. With the exception Of milk and
some other things, the supply Of meat,
poultry, hardy vegetables and fruits
would last for two months at the present

were taken charge of at the beginning
of a siege-and this could easily be
done-the food within New York could.

The siege Of Paris lasted only four

4 little brown fiddle

What makes the tune flow
From these four narrow strings
When your violin sings?
For US the wood g soundless
And senseless and cold,
For you there's a boundless
Romance softly told
By the bow to the strings
When your violin sings.
It has prisoned and captured
The rustling leaves whim.
It echoes til enraptured
Wild nightingale's hymn.
Hark to forest taught strings
When your violin sings.
Or, stay, did Apollo,
Affirming his Tyre,
Give you hint how to follow
His passion born fire?
Divine grow the strings
When your violin sings.
And scorned by the muses.
Is Marsyas again,
The while your hand chooses
Its tender refrain. 49,.
Come, quick, touch the strings,
For your violin sings!
