How He Became a Cvnic.

Some lOvable traits of character in
Prosper Merimee, the famous French
novelist, who has left to pos terity the
reputation of a misanthrope and a
cynlc are revealed in the pages of Au-
Sustus Filon's "Merimee and His
Friends.''
Monsieur Filon tells us how this cele-
blated author devoted 100 louis of his
salary as Senator toward pensioning
an old prefect of Louis Philippe, who
had been ruined by the revolution Of
1913, and how, for twenty years, he as
sisted and protected an humble sculp-
tor in whom he had become Interested

Coral from AIabaster.

By process recently discovered,
pure alabaster can be transformed to
what is apparently real coral. The col
oring matter completely permeates the
stone, and when bead of this imita-
ton coral is broken, it has all the ap-
pearance of the genuine material. AS
regards external appearances, the ini-
tation is very perfect. every shade from
deep red to palest pink being repro
duced; but something in the coloring
matter imparts to the coral an objec-
tionable oleaginous odor. This. how
ever is said to pass off with time. The

NEARING DEATH.
The Serious Condition of the Emu press
of Austria.

Empress Elizabeth Of Austria has
been so seriously i'll at Cape Martin
that her husband, who proposed to re-
main at Vienna until the trouble in
connection with Crete was at an end,
fastened his departure, and proceed
ed with all haste to the South of
France, where the Empress is being
attended by her youngest ant favor
ite daughter, the Archduchess Valerie.
The Empress was unable to meet her
husband on his arrival and has been
forced to abandon all those long walks
to which she has been given ever since
the doctors compel ID her to give up
riding.
1t seems that the imperial lady, in
stead of being benefited by her sojourn
at BiarritZ in December and January.
on the contrary was harmed thereby.
Painting fits, insomnia, neuralgia and
painful nervous disorders, ensued, and
the principal court physician, DR.. Won
Kerzl, having been urgently summon
ed from Vienna, Immediately gave Or
ders that she should leave Biarritz for
the south of France.
At present the Empress is an invalid
in every sense Of the word, almost en-
tirely infrm, and it is doubtful if she
ever will be able to resume the violent
exercise to which she has been devoted
until now. Indeed, it may be ques-
toned whether it is not really the over
doing of exercise, first in the form of
riding, and later on in the way Of
walking, that is responsible for her
present condition. AS long as she was
able to ride Elizabeth used to spend
her whole day in the saddle. begin

EATS SMALLER REPTILES
Trinidad Snakes that Are Canniba1s
by Nature.

Certain species of snakes are by ma
ture cannibals, having three general
methods of securing and overpowering
their prey-by construction, by main
strength and by venom. A scientist
who was recently on blacksnake hunt
in Trinidad had, made his way into a
dense forest and one day captured a
young black and white tiger snake, put
ting him into the usual bag. An hour
Or so later he found the largest black
snake he had ever seen in the island.
This rich find was also deposited in
the bag and the scientist returned to
the hut which he and plantation over
seer were occupying. In the night the
overseer aroused the traveller, saying
there had for some time been kissing

An endeavor is now baing made IN
Hungary to utilize i'll a practical and
economical way the earths internal
heat. For many years the arteSian
wells in that country have supplied hot
water which has been used for ii Va
riety of purposes, and by sinking them
