The invention Of A~labastine marked
a new era in wall coatings. and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was a most important discovery. 1t
has from a small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name "kalsomine" has be-
come SO offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name. I'M at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance OF spoil
ing their walls for a possible saving of
at the most but a few cents. Thus it
is again demonstrated that merit wins,
and that manufacturers Of first class
articles will be supported by he
people.

A remarkable phenomena in the
island of Trinidad is the pitch lake"
situated at La Brea, the capital of the
island. 1t is about one and a half
miles in circumference and elevated
about eighty feet above the level Of the
sea. The water is covered almost en-
tirely with a stratum of asphaltum, ira
versed by assures and crcvices filed
with water. The pitch at the sides
is perfectly hard and cold, but as one
walks toward the middle the heat grad
ually increases and the pitch becomes
softer and softer. At last it is seen
boiling up IN a liquid state and the air
is strongly impregnated with bitumen
and sulphur. During the rainy sea-
son it is possible to walk over nearly
the whole lake, but in the hot weather
a great part can not be approached.
This pitch is much used on the island
for roads, pavements and roofs, an. is
exported to the United States and Can
ada.-Exchange.

SCIENCE AND PRESENTiMENTs
Phenomens Usually Susceptible of a
TeIepafhic EXCLAMATION

Phenomena Usually Susceptible of a
T~eIepathic Explanation.
Nine times in the course of my life
l have had what is called present.
ment." Eight times I wrote it down
at once before learning whether it
was true or false, and the ninth time 1
spoke of it, says Appleton's Science
Monthly. Three of these were false,
one partly true and partly false, one
was not verified, but probably false.
All these related to subjects in my
thoughts and were probably suggest
ed by circumstances. Four were true,
OF which n might have been sug-
gested by circumstances. The other
three were not only true and not ap-
parently suggested by circumstances,
but were among the most agitating ex-
periences of my life. One drove me,
In spite of the resistance of my reason,
to take a journey which seemed the
act of a lunatic, and proved the wisest
thing l could do. Another impelled
me to write a letter to a person $50
miles away, to whom l had written a
few hours before, but who happened to
be in great trouble at the moment l
felt the impulse. The third gave me
absolute assurance that the very thing
was about to happen which l believed
to be OF all things most impossible. 1
do not, of course, quote these few ex-
periences as proving the existence of
telepathy, but merely was illustrating
what mean by apparently te!epathic
phenomenal"
The vast majority of apparently SUI
pernormal phenomena are susceptible
OF a telepathic explanation, but in a
few cases one is driven to other con-
ceptions. Sometimes knowledge is
shown of events not known to anyone,
and at other times a percipient will
seem to see" things at a distance, or
to become aware of events remote in
time.

SPARROW, CAT AND BOY.
Lad Beat the Record by Acting the
Good Samaritan.

Lad Beat the Record by Acting the
Good Samaritan.
On the southwest corner of Frank
lin square a stately elm stands. 1t is
no lie to say trees stand says the Wash
ington Times. They have a d~eep-root-
ed conviction that their mission in life
is to stand. Well, this particular elm
stood. 1t still stands, and stands still.
AT high noon n day there was a
crowd around the tree, but they weren't
watching it stand. They were used to
that. Away out on the topmost tip
of a slender branch hung a sparrow.
Somehow it had become ~entangled in
a piece of Irvine and could not extricate
itself. This in itself was bad enough,
but there was worse behind. A big
black cat was also out on the branch
and glazing hungrily at the sparrow.
The cat had crept out after the impris-
oned bird, until the branch, bending
beneath the cats weight, had warned
his catship that further advance was,
perhaps, a prologue to a fall. But the
sparrow didn't know this, and, while
struggling with all its puny strength
to free itself, it was p~iteously bewail-
ing it's possible fate in sparrow AN
guage. This was what the crowd was
looking at. The crowd yelled at
kinds of things at the cat; but the cat
kept it's hungry eyes on the sparrow.
Then a small boy with a slungshot
happened along. Small boys with
s~lungshots are not generally welcome
in civilization, but this one received
an ovation when he knocked the cat
off the limb at the first shot, which
shook the sparrow free and dropped
it unhurt into the small boys cap,
which he held under the limb to re,
ceive it.
