The Monthyon prize of 500 francs
known as the ''prix de yertu," was tbI,
year awarded by the French academy
to a lady Of Mendon who had brougb,
up ten children who had all turned ON
well, but by mistake of the postoflco
the money went to another lady of tho

the police were forced to take her in.
In Eastern Australia 100000, OO
sheep and great herds of cattle and
horses now feed upon pastures covering
fat ground, which, thirty years ago
was desert of soft sand, so "rottenp
that the feet sank at every step. This
once worthless ground has been beaten
into compact soil by the feet of the
sheep and cattle, and 1t is believed that
other great desert expanses In Aus
tralia may be turned into productive
pasture, and in a similar manner
When one reads that device has
been patented in England for applying
watches with incandescent light with
out increasing the size of the watchcase
wonder grows from more to more
first, wonder how so big a device can
be packed in such small quarters, and
then wonder how long the watch will
remain unmagnetized and true to the
time with a potent little battery in Its
vitals constantly trying to mesmerize
its movements.
An expedition sent out by the geolog-
ical survey to explore the head waters
of the Yukon and to discover If possible
the source of the gold found along that
river has returned with a wonderful
tale Of rich ore veins extending from
British territory into Alaska In the
neighborhood of FortyMile Greek, and
running thence for 500 miles in north
easterly direction. The gold belt Is at
least 100 miles wide and the biologists
say that the deposits are fully as rich
as those of South Africa.
Rev. Father Koran, of Rumford Fails,
Me-, secured the necessary funds to
complete his new church by announc-
ing that 1t would be opened on a GER
tain Sunday, which turned out to be
bitterly cold day, and then preaching
sermon 50 long that Its close was &C.
companied by the chatterlng Of teeth
all over the house. AS If suddenly re-
minded that 1t was chilly, he remarked
that 1t was cold indeed, and, expressing
his belief that the congregation would
cheerfully contribute money enough to
plaster the walls and put In furnace,
passed the plate and got what he want

A curious instance Of the effects of
Roentgen rays on the skin is reported
in the Deutsche Medicintsche Wochen-
schrift. A 13-year-old boy was ex4
posed naked for forty-f minutes to a
very powerful apparatus to have his
picture taken. A fortnight later cir
cular red spot appeared on his abdo-
men above the navel. 1t grew and
broke out into small itching blisters.
After six weeks the irritation ended,
but the discoloration had spread over
the whole abdomen. The skin then
scaled off, and after a while resumed
Its normal condition. The process was
precisely the same as In a case of
severe sunburn.
1t Is the custom of many persons to
grumble little at what they consider
the dentists extraordinary charges. It
Is also frequently said that the dentist
finds gold more profitable, and that
this Is the reason why he prefers to
use it. 1t Is not generally understood
that there is a scientific reason for the
employment of this metal Gold can
be welded into solid mass while cold.
1t Is also susceptible Of being pressed
into the smallest cavities and depres-
sions. When once the cavity Is proper
ly cleaned out and the gold carefully
put in, care being taken that 1t fills ev-
cry particle Of space from the begin!
ming, the union of tooth and filing is
nearly as perfect as possible without
the action Of heat. A gold filing Is
nearly as perfect as possible without
the action of heat. A gold filling may
be built up to almost any size or shape
required. None of the acid secretions
of the mouth or stomach have any
effect upon it.
