THE electric searchlight was used re-
Gently to put down a riot in Lancashire,
England. A manufacturer, whose men
had struck, was determined to keep hi
mill going, AID hepromptly secured new
hands and set them to work. At the
same time he fixed a searchlight on the
factory building to prevent the strikers
from setting fire to the shecs erected for
the new hands. During the continuance
of the strike the light was used nightly
in conjunction with the police estab'
lished in the works, to scour the country
and to illuminate the part where pick
cts were placed. 1t was so effective that
a large number of temporary police
were dispensed with.

MOZART had a memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the
papal mass at the Sistine Chapel he was
greatly impressed with the musical
service, and asked for copy, but was
told none could oe given him, as the
music was not allowed to 60 out. He
went to the next service, listened at
tentively, went away and wrote down
the whole from memory.

THE prodigal waste of ore in some of
the more primitive methods of mining
is in striking contrast to the new way of
doing things. Even the water flowing
from copper mines is drawn into tanks
and by precipitation through the use of
chemicals rs to IS per cent of copper is
collected. This was discovered by acct
dent. A miner without knowledge of
chemical action remarked that TIN cans
or pieces of iron thrown into the waste
water soon became covered with copper.
From this simple incident came the pos
sibility of securing large amount Of
pure metal. The water is now drawn
into tanks treated with chemicals, then
led from one tank to another, each pre-
pared with a precipitating solution.
When the last tank is reached the con-
tents are allowed to settle, when the cop
per 10 removed and prepared for ship
Ment.

IT is generally agreed among natural
lists that the tortoise is the longest lived
of all animals. There are many in
stances of them attaining the extraor-
binary age Of $50 years, while one Is
actually mentioned as reaching the un-
paralleled age Of ,405 years. Notwith-
standing these examples, which, of
course, are exceptionally rare, the Or
binary tortoise only lives, on an aver
age, from 100 to $50 years.

ALTHOUGH the Sealers' Association of
Vancouver passed unanimous resolu-

any sealing schooners until next Au-
gust, nearly all the vessels are now fit
ting out to start on cruise as is custom
ary at this time. Only one schooner
made expenses last year, but all are 60
ing to try it again this year. 1t was
stated some weeks ago that most of the
San Francisco sealing schooners had
actually gone into other business, some
being at that time outward bound with
general cargoes for southern ports, while
others were fitting out to 60 otter hunt

The birth of the little Grand Duchess

The birth of the little Grand Duchess
Olga, of Russia, raises a rather curious
point as to her precedence. According
to the law of 1897, the daughter of a
Gar may inherit his crown if she has
no brother. 1t so happens, however,
that since the accession of the house of
Romanoff no first-born child of the
reigning sovereign has been daughter,
so there is no actual precedent. A fur
ther difficulty is created by the fact that
Nicholas H., when he succeeded his
father last year, issued ukase whereby
he settled on his brother George the
title Of Uses arevitch, until son should
be born OF his marriage with Princess
Alix, of Hesse.

No BETTER picture Of the cowboys
peculiar traits and manners could be
had than that indicated in outline by
little incident at Tucson, Ari., a few
days ago. A cowboy was brought into
Tucson from a range in the st. Simon
valley to be treated for wounded instep
which had been shattered by pistol
bullet of big caliber. The shooting, it
was explained, occurred during round
up. There was no quarrel between the
injured man and the man who shot him,
"but one morning when they got out
the air was pretty crispy, and they be-
gan shooting at each other to increase
the circulation of the blood.'

DOCTOR WELwITsCH, who has recently
explored the country about Cape Negro
in Africa, tells of curious plant called
the spider-tree. 1t grows on windy
plains. it's stem attaining diameter of
four feet, although it does not exceed
one foot in height. 1t puts out two
leaves, each six or eight feet in length,
and these are split by the whiting of
the wind into number of stiff, narrow
ribbons, bearing no little resemblance
to the legs of gigantic spider. This
resem blance becomes startling when a
trong breeze puts the leg-like leaves
into rapid motion, and the negroes
shiveringly exclaim that the great spider
is struggling to get loose.
