He went through one after another,
found none, and looked less cheerful.
Finally he took pooketbook from his

conductor snatched the bill and looked
ugly. He counted out the change In

on the railroads, and showed it into the
mans hand with q "Take It'll" Then he
turned to another passenger on the plat
form and began to talk loud enough for
the other to hear about "hogs" who
rode on cars.
"Did ye see that fellow that just give
me the bill2" he said. "Well, he's a

sulphur.

A curious chemical result Of expert
ments made by Strindberg. as noted in
Annales lndustrielles, is that sulphur
is not only not a simple body, but not
even an original one, being simply %
common fossil rosin or bitumen. He
finds that when sulphur IL melted at
about 20 degrees, it disengages an odor
OF turpeniine or camphor, and IL u
trace OF iodine be added the odor be-
comes more marked. II 1t DO heated
anew to between 100 degrees and $50
degrees, 1t loses oxygen and drops to the
level Of caoutohouc. Of which latter
1t assumes the color and consistency
then. IL the brown and viscous LIQUID
which Is obtained in this manner be
cooled. 1t preserves its nature for GER
tain length Of time. md then resumes

There have been many estimable peo-
pie whose stumbling block has been or
typography, and it has sometimes proved
an almost insurmountable obstacle.
There was once in eastern Tennessee
a judge well versed in the law, but en-
tirely self educated, who had this same
obstacle Of orthography to contend with
all his days. In early life he had lived
In Knoxville, and for long time insist
cd on spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him up to
the point of adding the X 80 thorough
ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that
when. u few years afterward. he re-
moved to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling the name Knash-
Vile.
After few years residence there the
judge removed again, this time to Muir
freesboro. One day he sat down to write
his first letter from this place. He
scratched his head in perplexity for O
moment, and finally exclaimed:

cANNleAL PLANTS.
They Are Sure to Languish When Deprived
of Their Diet of Meat.

Of Their Diet of Meat.
1t has been proved time and again
that the so called 'cannibal plants, of
which the Venus fly trap is the type.
are much more healthy when allowed
their regular insect food than when
they are reared under netting or In any
other manner which excludes them
from their regular meat diet. The above
IL an oddly OF itself. especially when
we consider the fact that there is certain
school of botanists which teaches that
cannibnl plants make no use whatever
Of the insect prey captured by them, but
1t is nothing compared with the bold
assertion made by Francis Darwin.
That noted scientific gentleman bravely
meets tho vegetarian botanist'' with
the assertion that all kinds and classes
Of plants, whether known ~ "meaters"
or not. bear more and heavier fruits
and seeds when fed on meat than those
that are not allowed flesh diet. He
grew two lots. comprising various vari
cites Of the different common plants.
One lot was regularly fed, through
their roots OF course, with pure juices
compressed from meat, the other with
water and the various fertilizers. The
final figures on this experiment proved
that the plants which were fed pure
meat juice bore 1853 fruits Of tho differ
ent kinds, while the unfed plants of
the same number and original condition
bore but IA also. that tho pampered
plants bore 240 seeds to every 100 borne
by the plants that were not given u
chance to crafty cannibalistic taste.

How Manufacturers Test Bicycles.

Unless one has visited great bicycle
factory ii is not easy to appreciate the
many delicate operations that the parts Of
bicycle are subjected to, the many tests
that must be passed and the hundreds Of
careful inspections that the many parts
must pass before they are considered
worthy or good enough to be assembled
into bicycle of standard worth. Visitors
to big manufactory are surprised at the
extent of the plant, the perfect appoint
ments and air Of discipline that prevails
throughout 1t does not take the most in
experienced long to SEQ why it costs so
much to build good bicycle. The most
exacting care is required, the very best ma
terials are necessary In every part, skilled
labor of the highest order is essential to
obtain the desired results and If any part
gets through the inspection room and Is
afterward found imperfect 1t is nothing
short of marvellous Exchange.
