Adventure OF a Sparrow.

Birds have all sorts of adventures,
but very odd one, certainly, befell a
sparrow that few into knife factory
at Anderson, Ind. Getting too near a
small wheel, it was sucked in, and the
workmen noticed it, but knowing that
the cylinder was revolving at speed
Of 40 minute, took it for granted that
the bird had been killed. When the
factory shut down at noon, the men
were astonished to bear gentle chirp
from the wheel, and, behold! there was
the sparrow. The bird had chung

wheel, and was in dazed condition,
but five minutes later few out of the
window. The wheel in which the bird
rode made $1,000 revolutions, and the
little creature travelled "A miles before

pinerent Name. for waves.

They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast of Great Brit

breakers that fall with a crash on the
beach by the grim name of "Norrawa

Atlantic fronting shore of these islands,
the grandly long unbroken waves are
known as rollers" Among East An

cffshore wind, or in a calm, is called by
the expressive name of "slog," while
well-marked swell, rolling in indie

"home." ''There is no wind" a Suffolk
fisherman will say, "but a nasty home

A prirht EnuIi.h Ide..

The corporation of Huddersfield,
England, made an interesting depar-
ture in tramway enterprise some time
ago, each car being provided with a
letter box. This has wonderfully in
creased. the postal facilities of the Hud-
dersfeld people. The boxes are cleared
every hour in the day from $3.50 a. m.
to $3.50 p. m, and there is g final post at
II p. m. No fewer than $4,000 letters
were posted this way last year. By this
means the post Office saves considerable
expense in collection and is able to pay
the corporation $1,000 per annum for
the service. The system is highly APP
preciated by the inhabitants.

Who Were the Aggressorsf

As has often been the case in the be-
ginning of war, each party accuses the
other of being the aggressor. Turkey
interprets the raid of Greek irregulars
into Macedonia as an act of war. Greece
disavows responsibility for that raid,
and charges Turkey with opening hos
tilities by occupying neutral post and
by sinking a Greek steamer in the Gulf
of Arta- The declaration of the six
great powers that the aggressor, if a
conflict arose, should not in any case
reap any advantage from his conduct,
makes this question of responsibility
more than usually important-Youth's

THE LOSS OF SLEEP.

II Causes Lassftude and a Depress-
ing Interest I'm Life.
In paper by Prof. H. C. Warren, of
Princeton university, there are accu-
rately described some experiments on
the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Prof. Patrick and DR.. Gill
bert, of the University of Iowa. These
gentlemen tested three normal subjects,
composed of instructors, men not
easily susceptible to influences. They
were kept awake 90 hours without slim
ulants. During this time they were en-
gagged, as far as possible, in their usual
occupations. After the second night the
first subject complained that the floor
was covered with greasy looking molec-
ular layer of rapidly moving particles.
They rendered him nearly desperate
Sometimes the layer seemed d foot
above the floor, and parallel with it. As
he tried to step upon it he staggered
and tumbled, could not obtain a sure
footing. Later the air became full OF
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. He fire.
quently climbed into chair to brush
them away from the gas jet. The APP
pearance of all these men was the same
as if an overdose of liquor had been adj
ministered. Those who have lost their
normal rest for several nights feel a
lassitude and depressing interest in life.
They seem to lose an equitable judg-
ment of things. Events seem out Of
Droportion.

Novelty in Lamp wicks.

A remarkable lamp wick has been In
vented, which is made entirely of clay.
1t is perforated by very minute holes,
through which the oil passes upward
through the action of capillarity. This
wick, needless to state, does not need to
be trimmed, nor does the oil, which has
a perfect passage upward, emit any
odor. The inventor says that its con-

the cotton wick, while producing the
