has come about because of his immense
charities, which are as transformations
as they are generous. This statue was
raised by popular subscription in Ath-
ems, and was unveiled by Prince Con-
stantine, the crown prince of Greece
and Duke Of Sparta, in April, last year.
The ceremonies were impressive, and
were attended by great crowds of the
Athenians. When the war broke out
with Turkey NJ. Averoff presented 49,
600 uniforms to the Greek army. and
the Crown Prince sent him a letter of
thanks by special messenger. Later
Averoff donated few million dollars
to the war fund of Greece. Averoff is
a native of Greece, who. in his boy
hood, went to Russia and Rllssianized
his name The start of his immense
fortune was made with his uncle. who
was a Russian merchant. The young
Greek inherited 100000, and increased
1t many times by making contracts
with the Government to provision the
Russian army in the war twenty years
ago with the Turks. SO quiet has been
his life THAT until lately he has been
almost unknown.

Southern Forests Disappearing.

In Georgia. Florida, Alabama and
other Southern States the grand old
forests of pine are rapidly disappear
ing. The destroyers seem to have no
thought of the future. They make no
steps to replace that which they take
away. The influence of forests upon
RAINFALL moisture and seasons Is pret-
ty well understood. The point has
about been reached at which it Is nee
essary that something should be done
to put a stop to forest destruction. If
steps to that end are not taken 1t will
not be a great while before this sec
ton will suffer succession of drouths,
floods and severe storms. There should
be some way of preserving the forests
for the general good. Our people are
selling their birthright for a mess of
pottage. 1t is well enough that lands
should be cleared up for settlement,
but millions of acres of forests are dis
appearing every year, and very little
is coming in to compensate for the loss.

He Was No Glass-Eater.

1t is not always easy to Introduce
modern improvements without "A pre-
liminary course of instruction for the
people who are to benefit by them. DIR.
James Hutcheson, a physician Of much
local renown in Lynbrook, Long ISL
and, illustrates this fact by telling a
story of one of his patients, who is a
fisherman of great shrewdness, Sbut
small education.
One Of the doctors favorlte prescrlp-
tlons Is compounded of one-half capsi-
cum and one-half something else. Like
many other country physicians, he dis
penses most Of his own 1medicines, and
usually keeps stock ON hand of this
particular compound, made into pills.
One day he wished to give some of
1t to the fisherman, but finding that
his pills were all gone he took the
equivalent powders and packed them
into two-grain capsules. These he
handed to the patient, with instruc
tions to take two of them once In SO
often.
few days later the man hailed him
as he drove by his house. After little
chat the doctor, seeing that he was bet.
ter, asked If he had taken all the medi-
cine.
"Oh, yes, took it just as you told
me. But my, what hot stuff 1t Is.
never tasted anything quite so hot as
that was"
Eyes, 1t is rather hot" admitted the
doctor, not caring to ask any questions,
but wondering little how the man
found it out, and how he managed to
swallow it If he really did get a good
taste Of the capsicum.
He was about to drive on when the
fisherman said: Hold on a minute
and I'll get them little bottles for you.
They're no good to me-" and stepping
into the house he brought out the cap
sules, uninjured, but empty.
"Oh! exclaimed the doctor, as a
great light broke in on him. But why
didn't you take the bottles and all, just
as they We're? That's what | meant
you to do"
Not much!' said the fisherman. Il
don't know much about medicine, but
you don't get no glass into my inards"'

Chinese Sailors and the Fire-Drill.

In st. Nicholas is an article by Lieu
tenant John NJ. Ellicott, L. S. n, on
What Is Told by the Bell" in the
course of which he relates the follow
ing anecdote:
On q certain man-of-war on the Paci-
fic station n few years ago the officers
had Chinese servants; and although
they could scarcely speak a word of
English they were quick to learn what
was shown to them, and soon did like
clock work the tire-drill with buckets.
One day there was real fire. Vol
umes OF smoke poured up from the
fore hold, and it took several streams
of water nearly an hour to put out the
flames When the fire was under con-
troll some one thought of the China
men: and behold! there they were,
ranged in line and in plain sight Of the
smoking hatchway, rapidly passing
their buckets along, but emptying them
over the ships side as they had been
taught to do!

ANT HOUSES IN AUSTRALIA.
Mounds in Which Millions of the In.
sects Live in Perfect Amity.

One mound in particular, groined
columnar structure, was eighteen feet
high. This was not far from Port
Darwin. The diseoyerer believes that
originally the mound was conical In
shape. The sides were smooth. 1t has
evidently been in use for many years
and the columnar effect noticeable. he
believes. is due TO the fact that the
ants necessarily travelling the path
ways up and down the mound produe-
ed the grooves that are seen and re-
suited in giving the effect of column
mar formation. The entrance to the
mound, examination showed. had var.

here it was evident the ants had care

Why smokestacks Escape Lightning

Statistics show that of 10000 smoke
stacks only three are struck by light
ming each year, while of 10000 church
spires sixty-seven, and of 10000 wind
mills eighty-nine are struck by light
ming annually. An endeavor has been
made to explain this condition by the
fact that the smoke discharged from
the smokestacks takes the electricity
assembled around the building along
and distributes 1t in the air. whereby
the source of attraction for the electric
spark Of lightning is not only dimin-
ished. but almost disappears. This
fact also explains. 1t is said, why peo-
pie in the country kindle large fire
in the fireplace when thunderstorm
is approaching.
