The Telephone Ear.

A German newspaper asserts that
about 30, 900 Of the inhabitants Of Der.
lin hear considerably better with their
left ear than with their right This has
been observed in continually increasing
measure for 10 years. When the cause
was sought for. it appeared that those
who are thus affected are frequent users
Of the telephone. The listening part Of
the instrument is generally held in the
lett hand and put to the left car, while
the right hand is often used i'm taking
notes. etc. In the cases observed the
subjects heard the slightest sound
through the telephone with their left
ears, but could understand little or
nothing if the instrument were put to
their right ears. 1t is therefore con.
Guided that the telephone has an appre-
ciably stimulating effect ON the auditory
nerves, and the recommendation is
made that the instrument Le used alter.

Gained His Point.

In the days when her majesty went
down to Windsor by road she liked to
be driven ut a rapid pace-a little too
fast to please her escort, especially the
officers who rode their own horses. A
gallant captain, afterward a renowned
NJ. p, was one day in command and
riding at the head of bis troop. Just in
front of him, with his back 70 the horses
of the carriage, sat the Prince OF Wales,
then a small child. The captain, direct
ly the party started, lifted his hand and
shook his fist in the little PRICES face.
The prince roared with fright. and his
royal mother, quite ignorant of the
cause, took him on her lap to pacify
him. When the prince was quiet and
resumed his seat, the captain again
shook his fist, and this was repeated all
the way down to Windsor. At the end
Of the Journey the queen learned exactly
what had occurred and issued her COM
mand that the officer should never COM
mand her escort again. This was Just
what the captain hoped would happen.

The Safety Point In F,oors.

Probably less is known by architects
and structural engineers regarding the
safety of floors than of any other por-
ton of building. The relative cost Of
the steel beams in a floor, as compared
with the terra Gotta or other filing. has
caused some builders to go to an ex-
treme IN increasing the spans between
beams, thus greatly increasing the risk
Of destruction by fire, even though there
may be ample strength in the absence
of fire. News.

Two Zig On,xS. the Slsscra.

On the banks of Cooper's creek, about
four miles from Camden, n. J.. two
very large white oaks stood. The prop
erty was once owned by Mr.. Kay. who
named them for his two daughters.
These trees survived the family so long
that the writer was unable to learn the
names given them, and the trees seem
to be the only memorial Of the family.
One was Frustrated by n strong wind
about two years ago. The ono still
standing measures go feet i'm circumfer.

branches extend from the trunk about
30 feet each way. The fallen one was

The attaching Of the names OF friends
to trees is q pleasant practice. This can
be done either by planting a tree espe-
cially for the person or by associatine
The Hernc Of Shakespeare did not plant
the oak, but Herne's oak is just as IA

or by him. II is 60 be regretted that the
name Of the lady vino was associated
