In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is
to say, lie had only a name without
any "handle" before it or surname
after it, Some means Of distinguish
ing one John or William from another
John or William became necessary.
Nicknames derived from mans
trade, or his dwelling place, or from
some personal popularity, were tackled
on to his name, and plain John be-
came John Bull, As yet there were
no "Misters" in the land. Some John
Bull accumulated more wealth than
the bulk of his fellows-became per
haps, landed proprietor or an EN-
ployer of hired labor. Then he be-
gan to be called in the Norman French
of the day the 'maistre" of this place
or that, of these workmen or of those.
In time the ''maistre" or "maister,"
as it soon became, got tackled .on before
his name, and he became Master Bull
and his wife was Maistress Bull.
Gradually the sense of possession was
lost sight of, and the title was con-
ferred upon any kindly mere pos
session of wealth, or holding some po-
sition of more or less consideration and
Importance. It'd Bits.

Manufactured Fuel.

The question of cheap fuel is q most
important and vital one to all persons
of moderate means, as well as large
consumers. To be able to use what
has heretofore been waste material is
the object of a great deal of scientific
study and research. Already a num-
Der of sorts of fuel have been prepared,
and in countries where coal is high
and scarce this prepared material is
quite extensively used and gives very
good satisfaction. The processes have
become so scientific that it is guaran-
teed to contain a certain percentage of
heat-producing elements and waste.
The coal is washed and cleaned from
all slate and other impurities and the
available combustible material is in
creased as much as possible. The i'm
portance of the concentration of valu-
able qualities is of great moment where
the fuel must be transported and
handled. The extent to which this
fuel is manufactured and used may be
seen from the following statistics for
the year 1898: France 1,750, 900 tons;
Belgium, 100000 tons; England,
$50, 600 tons; Austria, $50, 900 tons;
Germany, 1,230,000; Italy, 500, 900
tons; Spain, 100, 900 tons; Russia and
Sweden, 100, 900 tons; United States,
100, 600 tons; China, India and Canada,
$780, 900 tons.

At u depth of two miles the pressure
of the water in the ocean is very great
so great, in fact, that such fish as
are used to the great weight dare not
enter shallow water for fear of falling
upward and bursting. Fishes which
are adapted to considerable depths
may accidentally leave the bottom
swimming toward the surface. This
allows the gases in their body to ex-
pand slightly, and thus renders them
more buoyant. The more the gases
expand the more buoyant they become,
and the greater is the difficulty of re-
turning to the depths, until finally the
buoyancy of the body becomes so great
that they are no longer able to return
to the bottom. They continue to rise
to the surface more aud more rapidly,
until the expanding of the gases in the
body kills them. As soon as the
bodies reach the surface the release of
all pressure causes them TO burst into
pieces.

Hadrian in A. d. 100, built stone
wall from Bowness, near Carlisle, on
Solway firth, to the river Tyne, near
Newcastle, England. 1t was eighty
miles long and garrisoned by 10000
troops. 1t was from twelve to twenty
feet high at various points, eight feet
thick at the top and was provided with
gallery in the rear, which enabled
its defenders TO take their stand with
only head and shoulders visible to the
enemy. At every quarter of mile
there was castle with a garrison of
troops. Beacon lights and signals
were used, aud on au attack, whether
by day or by night, the news was at
once flashed up and down the wall
from sea to sea.-Atlanta Constitution.

Russia's Growth.

Many years may elapse before
Russia can become leading manufac-
turing country, but her growth toward
industrialism has recently been shown
in q remarkable manner at the "All
Russian" exhibition in Mini Novgorod.
Besides her extensive sulphuric acid
industry, Russia is opening up i'm
portant manufactures of chromate
salts, vitriol, phosphates, lead, zinc,
tin, strontium and copper salts and
mineral dyes, and platinum is almost
Russian monopoly. In medicinal
plant growing the progress in Russia
is very great Six castor oil factories,
all working from native grown seed,
were represented at the exhibition,
and oils of peppermint, wormwood,
caraway, fennel, anise aud pine
needles were also shown. The output
of Russian benzine has grown from
81, 800 gallons in 1882 to nearly /, $40, =
900 gallons in 1894. The petroleum
industry is the second largest in the
world. One firm alone owns 1873 miles
of petroleum pipe lines. 1t has an
enormous fleet and owns 1857 tank
wagons for the conveyance of its prod
ucts by rail.
The industry of the dry distillation
Of wood in Russia is only just begin
ming. In Northern Russia, away from
the railways, there are still many thou

cent. of all the rosin and but a slight
ly larger proportion of the turpentine
used in Russia has been of home manu-
facture.-New York Herald.

The New England Homestead says:
The biggest speculation since me
palmy days of the Argentine boom
were the dizzy transactions at London
last year in Kafir shares of gold mines
in the Transvaal region of South At
rice The bottom has gradually
dropped out until to-day forty leading
stocks, which one year ago represent
cd "value" of 5000, 900, 600, are sell
ing on the basis of one-third that sum.
Here is a decline of more than two.
thirds in less than one year. And this
after the London market had been
sorely bitten by Argentine, Panama
and previous Wild speculations.. We
have been taught to regard London as
the center of financial conservatism,
but of late years it has been the scene
of some of the widest speculations on
record. This Kaffir bubble may even
be compared to the notorious schemes
oi Law which almost ruined the French
people about a century ago.

Roofing FnIse Teeth.

A Russian dentist has at length
solved the problem of supplying us
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones,
says the London Figaro. Teeth are
made of gutta percha, porcelain OF
metal, as the case may be- At the
root of the tooth holes are made, and
also in the jaws. The tooth is then
placed in the cavity, and in short
time a soft granulated growth finds its
way from the jaw into the holes of the
tooth. This growth gradually hardens.
and holds the tooth ia position 1t
does not matter in the least, according
to this enterprising Russian dentist,
whether the cavity in which the tooth
is placed is one from which natural
tooth has recently been drawn, or
whether it has been healed for months
or even years.

Some great scientists have had the
indelicacy to 60 prying into the ques-
tion of the age of the earth. A few
weeks ago we told what one conclusion
was in this regard. Lord Kelvin, the
great Scotch astronomer and mathe-
matician, in an address in London,
said he was able TO declare with conf.
dence that the earth solidifed between
10000, 900 and 100000, 900 years ago.
The latest estimate of the time re-
quired for the formation of all strata
since the beginning of the. Cnmbrian

Insurance of Dogs.

A novel insurance company has been
organized and is already doing large
business in this city insuring dogs
against loss, stealing or inpounding.
This is done by registering the dog
with this company with its full de-
scription, aud receiving tag to be
worn with the city license tag
The company has man at each
pound to release any dog bearing such
a tag aud return it Immediately to the
owner This is great advantage, as
dogs often contract diseases in such a
place. 1t also saves both dog and
owner much misery, anxiety aud
trouble, TO say nothing Of the expense
and tiresome travelling and red tape
which are necessary to rescue dog
from the F lund.-Chieago Tribune.

on the sir-brake and brought the
great fr0a horse to sudden stand
| still. How she ever managed to
stammer the story she never knew,
but in few minutes the engine was
headed back with half dozen armed
men aboard of her. Behind them
came another load of men on a switch
engine and two men were racing up
the street of Mercer calling the alarm.
They heard firing before they
reached Kane Creek, but it ceased
soon afterward. The robbers had
gone. They had taken with them
much plumber from the passengers,
but they had not been able to get into
the express safe, although they were al
work drilling it open when relief came.
From the time that the engine
stopped Polly was missing. When the
rescued and excited passengers and
express messengers began to crowd
around and inquire the Mercer men
remembered her. A party of them
went out to find the girl who had
brought help to the beleaguered train.
In little clump of bushes they
heard man moaning, aud an instant
later they saw Polly kneeling in the
sand, with her fathers head in her
lap, crying bitterly. And they gath
cred up the brave engineer and his
daughter and carried them down to
the train, cheering all the way.
Engineer Marshall was not badly
hurt, and he was able to be in Mercer
when the general manager of the road
thanked the blushing Polly officially
and offered new and better position
in Mercer And of course all the pas
sengers and express messengers heard
about Polly's brave deed and said q
great many pleasant things about her,
but Polly, being sensible girl, only
blushed and said that she had to do
it, and that any other girl would have
done the same under like circum-
stances-which no one believed, of
course.
Later, when the robbers were cap
tured, Polly was able to identify one
of them positively-the one who had
run the engine-and through him the
entire party was convicted and sem
fenced to the penitentiary.

by afiidavits in the possession of the
owner and exhibitor. The Rev. w. G..
Righam, a Methodist minister, while
Hayeling a circuit which embraced
pnrts of Todd and Hardin Counties,
Kentucky, bought the two log cabins
aud the land on which they stood.
One of the cabins was built by Tom
Lincoln, and in it he lived with his
wife, Nancy Hanks. In this cabin,
without floor, Abe Lincoln was
born in the year 1909. Every log, ex-
cspt few which did not withstand the
ravages of time and the weather, is
preserved. The other cabin is one in
which the President of the late Con-
federacy was born. 1t came from near
Fairview, Todd County, Kentucky.
