GLAD TO GET HIS HAT BACK

A number OF prominent literary men
were at one time gathered together in
a well known chophouse in New York.
The conversation was OF course bril-
liant, and the repartee sparkled with
mirth and wit. During a lull in the
talk the door slowly opened and an old
Southern darkey, grizzled with age,
poked his head in, and then slowly
drew his body in after him. A waiter
Immediately started to eject him, when
one OF the gentlemen cried out; "Wait
a momentl Let's see what he wants ?'
The old darkey hobbled up to the table
where the gentlemen sat and held out
his hat. Throwing wink to his
neighbors, the gentleman took the hat,
and, making show of placing some
thing into it, bravely passed it on tc
the next gentleman, who did likewise.
The hat made a tour of the entire
room, TO the puzzled wonder OF the
darky. The last man to receive it SOL
emnly handed it back. with very po.
lite bow. saying. There, sir, don'i
you think you have something to be
thankful for?" The old darky looked
slowly round the company. and, me-
chanically taking the hat, said, "Gen''
men. I'ze tankful dat I'ze eben got dc
hat back" The reply was go thor
oughly enjoyed by the company thai
the old dsrky left the place much
richer man than he had entered it,

Barrels aud Bears.

Beer kegs haye been used with great
success for the odd purpose OF catching
bears in the vicinity Of Hoquiam,
Wash, and are said to make the best
bear traps ever used in that region.
One end Is knocked out OF the keR, and
then a number OF strong. sharp spikes
are driven into its sides. the points
slanting towards the closed end. A
big dab of honey or other delicacy es-
pecially liked by the bears is then
placed at the further end, and the keg
is carelessly dropped in the woods,
where the bears are likely to stumble
across it. The device caught five bears
in one week for one keg planter re-
Gently. The bear just pushed right
into the keg after the honey in the
end, and the spikes effectually pre-
vented him from backing out, and all
he could do was to roll around until he
is tired and wait for the trap layer to
come around.

Transparent From the Inside but q
Lo0kfng-GIass Outside.

A transparent mirror was brought
from Germany to this country few
months ago by New York firm and
the perplexing qualities Of the glass
excited much curiosity. Itwas at once
in demand for many purposes, and the
firm is now engaged in importing it in
large quantities. 1t is still novelty,
and some screens made OF this glsss,
have been recently placed on sale at
one OF the local stores. They are
probably the first to be viewed in this
city.
The coating is placed on one side OF
the glass just the same as the silvering
on the mirror and has the same prop
critics OF rejecting the rays Of light and
color. The difference, however, is that
when looked at from the back the coat
ing is entirely transparent. To one
sitting indoors the view without is not
obstructed in the least, but pedes-
trian peering into the window or door
way is greeted by his own reflection.
The glass is used largely in lieu of
screens where privacy is desired with
out obstruction of light from the out
side or barring the vision of those in
side. 1t was introduced with effect
first in New York club window. Be-
hind it the chappies could sit and ogle
the girls and view the passing throng
without being themselves observed.
Its use was also resorted to in cafes,
where it offered privacy to those loung-
ing inside, while the latter had an un-
disturbed view OF the street.-New

THE ROENTGEN RAY IN LAW,

Daniel David OF Brooklyn, New York,
brought suit against DIR. Gumond Of
Bath Beach, Long Island, for $25, ,00O
damages for malpractice. The plaintiff
claims that the defendant did not set his
son's broken arm properly and in conse-
quence the arm has been permanently
crippled. David had Professor Peckham
Of the Adelphi Academy. Brooklyn. pho
togrsph the crippled arm by the Roent-
gen rays. The pictures show that the
arm was not properly set. There is q
space Of half an inch between the broken
ends OF the bone, which precludes the
possibility Of the fracture knitting prop
erly.
The trial Of the case takes place be-
fore the Supreme Court at Brooklyn.
Eminent counsel is engaged on both sides
and much interest is taken in the result,
as il is the irst time photographs taken
by the Roentgen ray have been intro
duced as evidence in court Of justice.
Henceforth when q surgical operation is
performed which involves the setting OF
fractured bones and there is any doubt as
to their proper adjustment the Roentgen
ray will be brought into requisition to
determine whether the bones have been
placed in a natural position or not. and
cautious surgeons will be likely to have
such photographs taken as safeguard
against possible suits for malpractice.
