The gayel presented to the moderator
of Montgomery presbytery was sent by
the Rev p Frank Price OF Sinchang,
China. 1t was made from the wood OF
a tree that had shaded for three cen

sion now stands. The presbytery sent
the young missionary. and the mission
airy sent back the gayel, as an emblem of
the work of the gospel in replacing the
old paganism with the new Christianity.

Wanted Diamonds in Her Teeth.

A Fifth avenue dentist, who plugs up
the molars of the Four Hundred, says
he has made $500 day, but only once.
His patron was woman who had
money to burn, and who wanted him to
put diamonds in her molars. He
knocked that silly notion out of her
the same. This dentist charges $50 an
hour, and usually makes sbout 800 a
day No wonder dentists signs are as
thick here as bicycle academies.

Metric screw Thread Systems.

The present revival of interest in the
metric system recalls the one point in
that system which, SO far as yet appears,
has failed to meet the requirements OF
machine shop practice, !. e., its non
adaptibility to a convenient system OF
screw threads. Numerous attempts to
devise metrical screW-thread systems
have been made, but no one of these has
thus far met with sufficient approval to
secure general adoption. 1t has we'll
been remarked that it is very much easier
to adopt new system than 1t is to
throw away an old one, and hence each
attempt to improve the metrical screw
thread systems has simply resulted IN the
addition of one or more to the existing
list, without superseding any OF the pre-
ceding ones. Thus, there are in France
the systems Of the French navy, of the
Chemin de Fer du Nord, of the. Paris
Lyons Mediterranee railroad and those
of Armengaud and of Gail. In Switzer-
land there are the systems of Relshauer
and Bluntschli, and of Bodmer; III Al
sace-Lorraine, the two systems of Du-
commun and that of the Engineering So
ciety of Mulhouse; while in Germany
there is the system of the Pfalz-Saar-
bruck society, that of Redtenbacher and
the two systems of Delisle, the latter one
of which has also been adopted by the
Society of German Engineers. There
are, thus, no fewer than fourteen differ
ent metrical thread systems, no
two of which will interchange. The diff
hculty appears to consist in the tact that
the decimal subdivisions or multiples OF
the milli1neter do not give sizes which
conform to the mechanical requirements
of strength wearing capacity and con-
yenience Of angle, while the introduction
Of other than decimal fractions at once
takes any system out of the pale of met
ric orthodoxy. -Cassier's Magazine Tor

Place Distractions on the M. & P
 Track to Wreck a Train,

There was wild rumor floating around the city Friday night to the effect that an attempt had been made to hold up the outgoing M. & P. train. A telegraph message to that effect was received at the sherif's office and Deputy Sheriff Jim Gibson immediately went to the scene. He met Harry Bernard, who Hives a few miles up the track, and the latter told the officer that in the afternoon he saw some persons placing Instructions on the track. After they disappeared he in vestigated and found several ties laid across the track that would surely ditch the train. He removed the ob- structions and later on in the evening just before the train was due he went to the track again and found that the Instructions had again been replaced. He waited for the train, Jagged it and told his story. Deputy Gibson passed all yesterday morning in the neigh borhood and finally located the daring train wreckers as two Mexican boys He arrested them and they were brought before Justice Morris in the afternoon, who sent them to Jail to await examination Monday. The lads have for some time been playing all kinds of misohievous pranks, and a favorite amusement of theirs was to throw stones at the car windows of passing trains.
