Satan as a Landlord.

There is only one spot on the earth S
surface that has actually been willed,
decided and bequeathed to his satanic
majesty. This spot lies 4 u miles south
of Helsingfors, Finland.
A few years ago Lara Huilariene died
in the little town of Pielisjarvi, in the
above named country, leaving consider
able property in the shape of landed es-
tate. How he had come into possession
of so much land no one seemed to
know, but as he was very bad citizen
it was generally admitted that he was
in league with wintahausu (satan) and
that they had many business deals with
each other
This somewhat startling opinion was
verified when old Huilariene found a
certified warranty deed which decided to
satan all his earthly possessions
The will was to the same effect. The
family have repeatedly tried to break
the will, but SO far, has been unsuccess-
full. Thus the records plainly show
that his sulphuric majesty has legal
right and title to some excellent grounds
in the near vicinity of Helsingfors.
The simple people of the neighbor-
hood have changed the course Of the
road which formerly skirted the HULA
riene homestead and declare that they
would not enter the possessions of Satan
q %. for all the money that the three
estates would bring. p Pearson sWeekly.

"wych" Hazel, Not witch" Hazel.

The correct name for Hamamelis vir-
ginica is not witch hazel, but wych ha-
EEL Our plant has no connection with
the magic of the water hunter. The
blackthorn of England, Prunus spinosa,
was the wood used in these livinations,
or whatever these superstitious practices
may be termed Hazel had very wide
meaning in the olden times, and the
elm, as we'll as the nut now known as
such, was hazel. One Of these elms, now
known as Ulmus montana, was the IA
vorite wood for making wyches, or pro-
vision chests, and was therefore known
as the wych hazel. In the present day
it is the wych elm. Our hamamelis re-
ceived from the early settlers the name
of wych hazel from the resemblance Of
the leaves to those of the wych hazel or
elm Of the old world. Language reform
ers imagining that wych should be
spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel is the correct
term for our plant. -Meehan s Monthly.

| Paris was in an uproar. The whole
city was as if insane. Church bells rang
joyful pcals, great guns fired equally
joyful salvos, happy announcements
were posted up at every point of van

entrance and avenue to the palace in a
perfect delirium of joy.
Now, after many years, I find it diff
cult to understand-or indeed almost to
realize-that many of those then shout
ing SO enthusiastically for joy are the
same people who lately yelled with saw
age fury: "a bas l'emrire! A bas

midas scourse of Snakes.

Snakes are one of the scourgss Of
India. Thousands of people die yearly
from their bite. In the last twenty
two years the number of deaths at
tributed to this cause has reached the
enormous total of 433,2S9. Snakes APP
pear to be a much more deadly enc
my OF man than wild animals. In the
same period wild animals have only
killed 64,2S4 persons. On an average in
India 10000 people perish yearly by
snakes and wild animals. The number
of deaths in recent years has shown
marked increase. In 1875 the number
was 21,266, in 1896 it had risen to a.
1886. Bengal is the most dangerous
province to live in. for the Bengalese
snakes are responsible for half the
deaths from snake bite. The loss Of
cattle has also been very great. Since
1875 about 100000 animals have been
destroyed. Wild animals are RESPONSE
BILE for nine-tenths of the cattle killed.
In 1896, for instance, 7.143 animals died
from snake bite, but 1897 were killed
by wild beasts.

Continuous Steel Pipe.

The West Australian government
has taken contract to lay nearly three
hundred and fifty miles of water pipe
of novel character. This pipe is to
be made of steel spirals packed in con-
crete. Sheet steel is cut into strips
of the required width. These are fed
into a machine and welded into one
continuous strip. AS the strip is fed
into the machine, rivet holes are
punched, then the edges of the laps
are brought together by machinery
and held during the process of riyet-
ing, which is all done by compression.
The lap is thrown on the outside OF
the pipe, rendering the inner surface
smooth and even throughout it's
length. A tenacious hydraulic cement
is packed around the laps, making the
pipe absolutely watertight.
