The Merry Barber.

] struck a nervy barber down n
southern California once. You know
they have earthquakes down there SO
often that they don't mind a terrestrial
shake up any more than we do a thun-
derstorm But for strangers the sensa-
ton Of having the earth do a sand jig
under you is far from pleasant. 1t makes
you lose confidence in the stability of
things.
l was sitting in a barber's chair one
day when the windows began to rattle
and the floor to heave like the deck of a
ship. The barber was a dago of some
kind, but he had nerve. l started to
jump and run, but he held my head
down firmly and said:
"Seet pairfectly still, senior, or l might
have re meesfortune to cut you"
And, ding me, if he didn't keep right
along shaving, with the shanty rocking
like a cradle. and he never even scratch
ed me. But it scared me so my beard
hasn't grown we'll since.-Washington
Post.

Sunshine and Disease.

1t is rather surprising to be told that
sunshine is not always q promoter Of
health, and that London fog may be a
blessing in disguise. In experiments by
De Renzi guinea pigs inoculated with
tuberculosis died after ~ to SO days
when kept in glass boxes in the sun
shine, but survived only 20 to 4l days
in Opaque wooden boxes. This makes it
evident that sunshine is a material aid
in combating consumption. In a later
investigation by DIR. Masella, however,
guinea pigs were inoculated with chol-
era and typhoid bacilli respectively,
when it was found that previous expos
ure to sunshine increased the suscepti-
bility to both diseases, while exposure
to sunshine after infection SO accelerat-
ed the progress of the malady that death
occurred in 3 to ) hours instead of Is to
"a hours. That this vas not due to in
crease of temperature vas proved by
cooling the boxes in sunshine by a circu.
lstion of water London Letter.

CorrosiOn Of Metals by Water.

The peculiar statement is made by
M. Bauchier in lie Revue Maritime CT
Coloniale that corrosion of metals by
water may be caused by the action of
micro-organisms present in particular
harbors, but absent in the ocean. 1t APP
pears that the fact, as ~ascertained, Of
pure aluminium plates immersed in
Norfolk Roads being badly corrodcd at
the end Of three months, while in
France commercial aluminium subject
cd to the same test was practically IN
touched, and two plates attached to tLe
bottom of a ship were u%ninjured after Il
voyage around the world, led him to in
vestigate the sea water from different
places, with the following results, as
stated: If introduced into boilers, the
Mediterranean water, which contains
more salt than the Atlantic water,
causes more damage; SO does the water
taken from estuaries and zeal the shore,
which contains a larger proportion of
nitrates from fermenting organic mat,
ter. The destructive power Of the shore
water is much reduced. however, If il
be sterilized by means Of boiling.

GAVE GRANT HIS START.

How the Great Commander Went Back
Iato the army.
The Washington Pest Is authority fC.
the statement that the late General
Thomas }. Pitcher gave General Grant
his real start. They had been classmates
at West Point. At The opening of the
civil war Pitches, then Il captain, had
been sent to Springfield, lis, to act a.
United States mastering officer. \
stranger entered HIS office che day, and
Pitcher relates the following story OF
the interview:
"'You don't Seem to remember ne.
Tom, said the visitor.
"'No, l DON'T l said, but I've seen
you somewhere know
"'I'm Sam Grant he answered.
His beard had SO changed him that
l did not know him, ANA then, you see,
I had not seen him since lS49. He sat
down, and | said: Well, Sam, how does
it happen that you are here

thing to do. Can't You give me some
thing, Tom"
ISS, L SAAI SHiA l. A"S"
how to make ont muster rolls?'
81 should think So, said Grant. with
the first smile seen on his face.
"'Well, l am allowed 800 per month
and rations for a clerk. If you like, take
that table over there and begin now.
A month later Pitcher walked into
his Office and handed his clerk an official
envelope directed to Colonel U. S.
Grant" The clerks face turned red,
then pale.
"There's your chance. SAM said
Captain Pitcher.
I'm never forget this, Tom, ~never!'
answered the other as he wiped some
thing out of his Eyes with his handker.
