HER ALARM CLOCK.
And why She Had Good Reason For BE

And Why She Had Good Reason For Be
ing Incensed Against 1t.
A suburban woman not long since
purchased an alarm clock. 1t was fat
nickel plated little affair with the Gus
tomary gong atop. The woman got the
clock because she felt an overwhelming
desire to play the role of the early bird.
That night, therefore, she set the time
piece according TO the specified direc-
tions. But for some reason or other the
clock failed to 60 off. The woman gave
it second trial Again it played her
false. She took it to the suburban jew
eler. He said the clock was outrageous
ly out of order, limited darkly at the dis
honesty of any individual who would
palm off such an article as perfect goods
and prescribed course Of treatment
which he would be gracious enough to
administer for the sum of rs cents. The
clocks original cost had been 81 so.
The night that it came back from the
suburban jeweler the woman wound 1t
up with feeling of unassailable secur-
ity This time the role of the early bird
would be hers for certain. The next
morning, however, it failed to 90 off,
just as before. The woman took it back
to the suburban jeweler, who received
it with an II told you that clock was
terribly out of order. - Encore, 10 cents.
Time passed, the clock, like the cat
in the canticle, "came back, and the
woman woke up (some hours later than
she had intended) only to find that it
hadn't "gone off" again. She now took
the troublesome timepiece to the city
jeweler from whom she had first pur-
chased it. He declared the clock to have
been all right until ruined" by the
suburban jeweler, but consented to re-
pair it-also to charge 81 for SO doing.
The woman then bore it home in tri-
umph.
Next morning, though, the same old
drama was enacted, and the woman was
once more unable 10 assume the role of
the early bird Had she been man she
might have sworn. As it was, she con-
fided her woes to the breakfast tableful
"Why, that clock been going off all the
time, observed the woman who occu
pied the neighboring room TO the clock

Whereupon the woman felt more in

Chameleon Spiders.

An interesting instance of color MIN
icry in spiders has been observed in the
south of France. The spiders of that re-
gion when in search of prey hide i'll the
convolvulus flowers 1t has been noticed
that white variety of spiders frequent
ed the white flowers, greenish colored
variety made the green flowers his home,
and pink one lived principally in the
pink flowers. The colors of the three
varieties were at first supposed to be
permanent, but it has recently been dis
covered that the color of any one of
these spiders changes within few days
if the insect be placed in the convolvulus
of a different colored flower from that
which he has been using as his home.
-Four spiders-pink, white, green and
yellow in color-were all put in box
together, and within three days all were

Queer Facts About Air.

The celebrated chemist Of the six
teenth century who argued that it would
be impossible for us to live ON the
earth's surface if the atmosphere should
suddenly increase to twice it present
thickness could not have been far wrong,
after all-that is, if the experiments of
DR.. Arnott are 10 be taken as conclu-
sive In his observations OH atmospheric
pressure at the bottoms of the deep
mining shafts of Europe, Professor Ar
mott has found that the change between
the readings Of barometer at the bot
tom Of 4, 900 foot shaft and one at the
surface is great enough to warrant him
in making the statement that air at the
bottom Of shaft 20 miles deep would
be as dense as water. Figuring on the
same ratio, he finds that if hole could
be sunk 40 miles into the bowels of the
earth the density Of the air at the bot
tom would be as great as that Of quick
