LOCKWOOD DIDN'T LEAD.

An Invitation to Pray Frightened
the Eminent London Attorney.
Many prominent lawyers In London
are OF an evangelistic turn Of mind and
employ their leisure by pulpit exer-
cises In whatever denomination they
favor. Reader Harris. a well-known
queens counsel. for instance. is found
er and head OF the obscure body known
as the Pentecostal League. which Is
holding Its annual meetings In London
this week But the best known preach
Ing queens counsel Is Samuel Waddy,
leading light among Methodists. Mr..
Waddy Is "A good-hnnored old soul. OF
whom his brethren learned in the law"
like occasionally to make fun. Once
when he was on circuit with Mr.. NOW

haved In the pulpit. Accordingly. ac-
companied by n barrister friend. Mr..
Lockwood visited the Methodist chapel
where Waddy was to preach and took
prominent front seat. But Waddy

Brother" Lockwood's dIsmay may
be better imagined than described. He
vanished from his seat quicker than
thought and no "Methody" chapel has
known his proud presence since.
1t Is not often that anyone scores of
Lockwood. Generally 1t Is the other
way. Once he was engaged on the op

Snun Glass.

A French chemist brought spun glass
into practical use about fifty years ago.
although the art OF spinning glass was
practiced long before that time. He
first succeeded In softening the hard.
shiny effect OF the glass fabric. giving 1t
a silky effect that was much more pleas
ing. Next he endeavored to reduce its
brittleness by making "A spun glass,
whose threads were much finer than
those OF silk. and whose texture was
much like that OF wool. This glass
could readily be woven and all kinds
Of articles were made OF II. 1t was
found especially suitable for surgical
use. owing to its antiseptic properties
and its cleanliness. The fact that glass
is unattached by most acids made the
fabric useful for laboratory filters, and
nearly all well equipped establishments
of the kind now use them. The cloth Is,
beside. non-combustible and poor con-
ductor OF heat As the individual
hbers are perfectly non-absorbent,
grease spots and stains can be readily
removed. For this same reason the
cloth cannot be dyed. but II can be spun

A clever woman, in tho New Orleans
Picayune, says that it has been whisper
ed to her that there Will bo room in
the Woman's building. ut the Atlanta
fair, where any of the sex so minded
may steal away and smoke cigarettes,
and she follows up the story with talk
against the evils Of the weed for the
feminine gender.
That such a story should exist at all
is probably due TO tie ingenious brain Of
some newspaper space writer. and il has
never occurred to the women interested
in the Woman's building that there
were women who might be addicted to
the noxious weed. From the very in
cepticn of the enterprise the general
trend of ideas for every department has
been to make it thoroughly refined and
womanly, and indeed the mere sngges-
tion of cigarette smoking among women
would horrify most of the members Of
the board beyond expression.

or English Origin.

Many SO-called Americanisms are IN
reality archaisms OF which the English
origin Is forgotten. The phase ''let
slide" is supposed to be an American
ism. bur studeuts of English literature
will call to mind the following stanza
from Chaucer's "Clerkes Tale"
81 blame him not that he considered
nought
In time coming what might him belittle.
But on his lust present waJ all his
thought.
And for to hauke and hunt on every side;
Well nigh all other cures let he slide,
And exc he n old land that was worst Of
alD
wedden no wifi for ought that might
befall."
The term Il guess" was also used by
Chaucer:
''With him tier was his some, a younger
squier.
A lover and a lusty bachelor.
With LOCKS crulle as they were laide in
presse.
OF twenty year Of age he was gesse."
Americans have been criticized for us
ing the word "homely" to express the
absence of beautiful-as "homely
girl for a plain girl" An example
OF such usage may be found in Shaks.

Dead Hand In Evidence.

The hand Of dead man, from which
two fingers are missing. will be intro
duced as evidence in the case Of Mrs.
Fannie Linsley against the Central Med
ical college Of Missouri in damage suit
for $50, 900.
Linsley's body was stolen from Ash
land cemetery several months ago and
dissected in a medical college. The re.
mains were then thrown into box and
buried in the potter's field. where they
were found and identified by the Grip
pied hand from which two fingers mac
been cut during Linsley's lifetime.

skate may be safely used on both up
and down grades as well as on the level
roads, and that with very little practice
a speed OF ten or twelve miles an hour
can be attained. 1t Is highly probable
that the new form of skating will be-
come as fashionable as cycling itself.
and 1t seems clear that "A prosperous
future awaits the conductor of an en-
terprise possessing such obvious advan-

The skates can be folded for travelling

A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
Great IDEA Of the American Museum Of
Natural History.


Natural History.
The trustees Of the American Museum
of Natural History in New York have
decided to establish an anthropological
exhibit. which will be one Of the finest
in the world. They propose to have
groups Of figures illustrating the indus
tries, mode Of life and characteristics Of
every important race ON the globe.
This undertaking will require many
years to complete. but the first group
viii be in place within two on three
weeks. For some time past attaches Of
the museum have been out west taking
photographs and getting measurements
of the various tribes Of Indians in North
America and on the north Pacific coast.
Plaster casts have been taken Of the
faces. hands and feet of typical members
Of the tribes. and. together with the
measurements and photographs. for
warded to New York These data will
enable the modelers to construct life
size plaster figures, clothed in native
dress.
DIR. Franz Boaz, the anthropologist OF
the museum. has charge of the work
and will arrange the figures into groups,
