The I:.ind Brazilian Minister.

The brazilian minister in Washing
ton is blind, and has his daily papers
read TO him by secretary, SO that he
is Obliged to form his impressions en-
tirely by sound. The other night he
sat at a club dinner by the side of a
well-knOwn correspondent, and in the
course Of an hours conversation he re-
peated the name of Mr.. ''Tomredy" at
reast half a dozen times. 1t was some
little time before it dawned upon the
correspondents mind that the minister
meant Speaker Reed. Senator Salvador
de Meldonca had never seen the name
in print and never heard it pronounced
in any other way than "Tomredy," and
although an extremely punctilious gen.
tleman he fell into what would have
been an objectionable error if he could
have known it. Speaker Reed sat near
him, and enjoyed the incident immense

fhe crushed tragedian turned the
pages Of the morning paper until he
reached the dramatic column. The
night before he had made his metro
politan debut in Hamlet" and his
rendition of the role of the melancholy
Dane had been greeted by cat calls and
jeers. He had been satirically advised
by his auditors to come off the perch"
and in the graveyard scene when he
been facetiously cajoled to play ball"
He had been invited to "endeavor it on
the canine at Hoboken, to rip it up
the back and take another couple of
handfuls of air" etc. and his artistic
soul had been stepped in the bitter ig-
ncmiIy of hearing himself character
lied by a boy in the gallery as a bum
scene chewer" All this was terrible to
bear, but he had fondly hoped the crit
les would appreciate some subtle phase
Of his acting which had escaped the less
disciplined acumen Of the public at
large, and that the morning press
would pay tribute to the qualities OF
acting he thought he possessed; but his
hopes were rudeiy and bitterly shat

NOVEL USE POR TIDAL POWER

NOVEL USE FOR TIDAL POWER
Removing Accumulation Of Mud from
the Dock Walls.
Various plans have been suggested
at different times for the utilization Of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall OF the tides. but the Intermittent
character Of the power has usually
prevented any satisfactory solution of
the problem, says Casters Magazine
There is. however, one instance ia
whiah tide poxee has been quite Ss,e-
cesssnuy applied in q very simple nan-
pool there is a tendency for the accu-
mutation Of all silt against the dock
walls, requiring occasional dredging
fer its removal. Instead CT using scoop
dIedges this mud is removed at differ
ent periods by the use OF tide power
in the following manner: Along the
base Of the dock walls is laid a pipe,
perforated with holes, directed out
ward, this pipe being connected with
the interior of the dock system and
suitable valves being provided to per-
nit OF check the flow Of water. When
the tide is very low and consequently
the head Of water measured from the
surface in the docks is at It's greatest,
sudden opening OF the connection
permits a rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through holes In the
pipe ct the base OF the walls, securing
out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away. AS the
tides at Liverpool average about twen-
ty-liye feet or more it is evident that
this simple form Of dredging apparatus
may be very effective, and as the times
chosen for using 1t may be selected
when the supply Of water is greatest
1t does not interfere with the regular
use of the docks. Ultimately, no doubt,
the introduction of practical and eco
nomical forms Of power storage will
render the equalization Of tide power
commercially practicable, but at the
present time this example serves to
demonstrate the fact that solar and
lunar attraction, as expressed by the
tides, have been harnessed in a small
way at least.

Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia but
after their coming the farmers had 10
more diidCulty on that score. Mr.. Oar
win has shown that bumblehces were
the only insects fond Of clover nectar
which possessed a proboscis sufficiently
tube-like flowers. and. at the same
time. a body heavy enough to bend
down the clover head so that the pollen
would fall on the insects back. and
thus be carried eff to fertilize other
flowers Of the same species. According
to a writer in Popular Science News.
the bumblebees sent to Australia cost
the farmers there about half a dollar
apiece. but they proved to be worth
the price.

CYCLING VIEWED SOCIALLY.
Tandems VIII BE Popular With Lovers
Not Hard on Women.

Not Hard on Women.
From the Rochester Times: The So
Stable element in cycling promises to
play an important part among pleas
ure-seeking bicyclists this season.
Tandems seem to be in great demand
among riders who can boast of best
girls and every other combination
which leads to propinquity OF the sex
es is having q fair trial. So far the
tandem seems to have secured the
largest following, but there is some
difference Of opinion as to how the rid
ers should be seated. a veteran OF
the road ventures the following opin-
ion:
I'm one thing, at least, it has been
definitely settled that lovely woman
shall take a back Eeat. We have been a
long time coming to this conclusion,
for up to the end OF last season the
woman was placed In front. In this
position she had the full benefit Of
the head wind and also INSTRUCTED the
view OF the real controller Of the ma
chine. This form Of cycling should
crease Of power which a properly con-
structed double machine gives to its
riders must. sooner or later be more
fully recognized by those who have
hitherto gone in fer two safeties to
every pair
The reasons advanced in favor of
tandem combinations are that the
woman is free from the care which
follows in the wake of the single rid
er, and that she has nothing to trou-
bic her except 10 stick on when the
pace becomes fast. 1t is also argued
that the man in front, when he feels
TT, can so as fast as he pleases with
cut fear of leaving his companion be-
hlnd; that greater distances can be
covered in the same time and with
more comfort, and that by such an
arrangement there are only two tires
instead Of four exposed to the risk Of
puncture. The tandem advocate winds
ur by saying that the Swing" which
pair att2ins at a fast pace is pleas
ure unknown to the rider Of the single
machine.

This announcement. with variations,

fnaliy goes into a past along with
other sad memories and sorrows. What
becomes Of the missing people is a
question that the world long ago gave
up answering. Sometimes they drift
away from incongenial homes: some
times they wander away with minds

they are waylaid and sent to their
