AN OUTSIDE POCKET.

A kangaroo wears an outside POCKET in
his overalls. 1t is a sort OF apartment ar
rangement in which he carries around his
whole family, but this is really suggestive
as to the use of outside pockets in the
overalIs of working men, who IN machine
shops and factories are subjected to sudden
hurts and severe bruises. Ii q bottle ot ot.
Jacobs oil were stored away IN some Ofthese
outside pockets, handy and ready for use
when some OF the sudden hurts and bruises
take place there would be hardly any loss
of time in the cure of the worst of them.
For the worst bruises 1t is known TO be the
best remedy, curing the tenderness and
soreness of the spot very promptly, whl
in the process of curing, the dlscolorat on
disappears and the effected parts are fully
restored

The Bay of Fundy's Tides.

Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told of the immense tides in the Bay of
Funay. The scientific facts in regard
to them have recently been published
by the Canadian Geological Survey.
The bay is about 145 miles long, and
gradually narrows, and becomes shall
lower, as it penetrates the land. The
upper part divides into two main
branches, and several small side bays
exist. The highest tides at the mouth
Of the main bay reach eighteen feet
Going up the bay they increase in
height. At Digby Neck they attain %
feet, at st. John q feet, at Petitcodiac
River 46 feet, and at Noel River in
Cobequid Bay 53 feet the maximum.
Some branch bays are left empty at
ebb tide.

Birds Strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. H. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color of
the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' Union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground, like a
potato, is very conspicuous when placed
q few inches above the soil and viewed
from a little distance But when the
under side is painted white, and gradu-
ally shaded into the color Of the upper
part, the object disappears by blending
with the ground; the whteness beneath
counteracts the effect of the shadow Of
the bOdV

The Balancing of Trees.

A very interesting suggestion concern
the utility to tree of the irregular ar
rangement of it's branches is made by a
correspondent of Nature Watching a
large plane-tree during gale, he OBJ
served that while one great limb sway
ed in one direction, another swayed the
opposite way, and although all the
branches were plunging and bending
before the blast, they did not move in
unison, or all at once in the same direc-
ton. But for the popularity in the mo-
ton of the branches, he thinks, the tree
could not have escaped uprooting; and
he suggests that this kind of balancing
serves in general to protect large trees,
like oaks and beeches, which have
their branches unsymmetrically placed,
from being overturned by high winds.

GENERAL BUTLER.
He Was the first Presidential Candidate
20 Employ Press Agent

20 Employ Press Agent.
General Butler originated the en-
ployment and coined the term Of press
agent at political headquarters, re-
marked a gentleman who has given
many years to the consideration of ac-
tive politics. During his campaign for
the presidency on the labor ticket be
noticed that the representatives of
the newspapers gave bat little atten-
ton to the labor ticket headquarters
He decided that this should not contin-
ue. Bailey, the circus man, who was a
friend Of General Butler, took some in
terest in his campaign, and General
Butler spoke to him of the neglect of
the newspapers. Do as we do, replied
Bailey, and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers we call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else.
"The idea was adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one Of
his press agents for couple of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
jor Hugh Coyle, who resides in this city
during the off circus season, TO report
to General Butler. Coyle was therefore
the first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and play ed it for all it was worth,
and ran the campaign on regular circns
principles. He had a man three or four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or where the club
was an insignificant affair.
1.-THE clubs were organized, on the
principles and i'll the same way that
armies. villagers and ballets are secured
for theatrical or circus representations
that is, hired for the time they were
occupied in making the parade The
uniforms, banners, flags, drums, trans
parencies and other paraphernalia of po-
litical clubs were owned by General
Butler, and, like circus tent, were sent
to the city where they were to be used one
or two days in advance. There is hardly
any political organization these days
which does not have press agent, but
there are few of them who will ever
compare with Hugh Coyle, for he com
bined great experience with inteli.

Overhead Weather

The experiments with kites carrying
meteorological instruments, which have
been sent to an elevation of more than
a mile from Blue Hill, near Boston,
have made known some interesting
facts about the state Of the weather at
that height above the ground. Mr.. Ii.
H. Clayton, Of the Blue Hill Observa-
tory, says that mile up in the air the
temperature is usually from 15 to 25
degrees Fahrenheit colder than at the
earth's surface, and "there is virtually
no daily change in temperature, the
nights being as warm as the days. The
only changes are due to the passage of
warm and cold waves. During fair
weather at this height the days are very
damp and the nights extremely dry.
The average velocity of the wind is four
times as great as at the ground, and
hurricanes of 100 miles an hour are not
uncommon" 1t also appears that a
warm wave, as rule, sets in first aloft.

Language of the Te!eErap ph.

According to the results of a special
study among telegraph operators, con-
Quoted by Mr. Noble Harter and Prof.
W. l.. Bryan Of the Indiana University,
each operator has a telegraphic Ian
guage of his own, differing in various
particulars from the typical form, al
though all can, of course, understand
one another. The greatest number of
words known to have been sent in one
minute by the Morse code is forty nine.
The average sending rate per minute Is
from twenty to twenty-four words of
four letters each. Skillful operators can
usually receive faster than they can
send, but with beginners the case is re-
yersed

A Case of nietinn

At recent literary dinner" in Lon
don. Mr. l. Zangwill told a story Of a
certain fat lady of his acquaintance.
Her corpulence had so grown upon her
that she resolved to consult a physician
about it. She had had no previous ex-
perience with 'banting" of any sort.
The doctor drew up careful dietary
for her. She must eat dry toast, plain
boiled beef, and few other things of
the same lean sort, and in a month re-
turn and report the result to the doctor.
At the end of the time the lady came.
and was so stout that she could hardly
get through the door. The doctor was
aghast.
did you eat what 1 told your" he
asked.
"Religiously," she answered.
His brow wrinkled in perplexity. Sud
denly he had fash of inspiration.
did you eat anything eIse?" he
asked.
"Why, ate my ordinary meals" said
the lady.

The Holland Tea Table.

Elegance is reached in the Holland
tea table, its standard richly carved in
mahogany or antique oak and inlaid
with medallions in delft. The top is a
movable tray in the beautiful china
mounted in brass with heavily chased
handles Of the metal at either end. A
complete tea service of delft accompanies
it, making it drawing room appoint
ment Of great beauty and expense. The
we'll informed hostess, although delight
ed in its possession, will not claim for
it genuineness, knowing that the lovely
blue china now such a craze is but a
dissemination. Only one perfect service
of real old Holland delft is owned in
this country, and that descended from
Dutch ancestors and is SO valuable as to
be without fixed price.-Philadelphia

rn,,e+s Detected by Electricity.


At recent rifle meeting in Switzer-
land It was discovered, according to a
Geneva journals report, that the steel
iacketed bullets of the marksmen were
sweryed from their course by the infiu-
ence of telegraph and telephone wires
running alongside the range. Expert
ments were then made at Thun by plac-
ING four steel cables parallel with the
range. and about 40 yards distant from
it. and sending a current OF 5000 volts
through them. The effect, it is said,
was to turn the bullets so far from
+heir course that the deviation amount
ed to "a yards on a range of 260 yards.
The bullets on being taken from the ta"-
GETS were found to be magnetized.
Next. on an artillery range of 5000
Yards. the electromagnetic influence
was generated 200 yards in front of the
targets and 40 yards to one side. The
projectiles were swerved Il degrees
from a straight line.

II took care of it. You know men are
always making disagreeable remarks
about women's watches, and when my
husband gave me mine he said it would
probably be out of order most Of the
time. And l just made up my mind TO
show him that there was one woman in
the world who knew how to take care
of a watch. -
But have you never lost it or had it

Never. l dropped it several times

Bees as Messengers.

1t is reported that an English bee
keeper has successfully experimental
with bees as carriers Of messages, and
he thinks that, in some respects, they
are superior to pigeons for the purpose
The message, photographed in micro
scopic characters, is fastened between
the Insects wings. 1t is the habit of the
bee to rise in the air, and then fly
straight home. Being invisible, except
when close at hand, it is suggested that
such a bearer of dispatches in war
would be quite safe from the bullets of
the enemy.
