Who Wrote Books of Travel, Yet Had
Never Travelled.
New Orleans Times Democrat: II
used to know a man." said New Or
leans bohemian, who made living
writing stories Of travel for boys. He
had never been out of Missouri in his
life, but he was famous for the graphic
fidelity of his description of foreign
lands. His reference library consisted
of exactly three works: An encyclope-
dia, a set of United States consular re-
ports, covering four or five years, and
a copy of Woods Natural History"
II the scene Of the story was to be laid,
for instance, in Borneo, he would be-
gin by reading the Borneo article in
the encyclopedia; then he would turn
to the consular reports and look up all
the odd and interesting matter he could
find touching that particular island,
and finally he would get a description
of its animals from Woods. He wrote
at an old table on which was glued
map of the world, covered with sheet
of glass. This was constantly before
his eyes, SO he couldn't go astray on
geography, and, as l said before, his
descriptions were marvels of accuracy.
He could draw better and more re-
alisuc pen picture of foreign countries
than travellers themselves. People
thought that he had been great globe
trotter, and, crazy as it sounds, I be-
lieve he actually got to thinking SO
himself. The last time l saw him he
talked about Afghanistan in the easy
off-hand vein of personal observer.
If 1 hadn't happened to know that he
had been living in ST. Louis all his life
would have sworn he had been

Broke Up tn. SHOW.

An actor tells Of tragic experience
he had recently while playing to an
audience in little town in southern
Texas. In one Of the scenes of the
play, in which he acts the villain, he
hides himself in barrel, that he may
listen to conversation between the
hero and heroine, whose future we'll
being he is trying to destroy. In tho
town hall there was little if any
property" material. A barrel would
do to conceal himself in, SO hired
hand" was sent out to find one. He
succeeded. He slipped in the barrel
with ease. The man and the woman
appeared, and while they were in the
midst of an animated conversation
there came howl from the barrel that
fairly shook the rafters. This was fol-
lowed by the eavesdropper crawling
out with his hands to his face, and
he in turn was followed by swarm
of wasps. The wasps got among the
stage people and those in the audience.
which created SO much confusion that
the show was broken up.

..The delicacy of Helen keller's sense
of touch is certainly keen, but its keen
hess has unQuestiOnably been devel-
oped from merely a normal founda-
ton" writes Joseph Edgar Chamber
lin, Of Helen Keller, the deaf and blind
Journal. "She hears as she expresses
it-that h, feels-a football on the hoor
OF the room and distinguishes foot
falls which differ markedly from one
another. Last summer, when she was
taking her exercise one day by walking
= ,up and down the verandn, l was seated
in a chair near the door, and q little
child. barely a year old but able to
walk freely, came walking lightly out
upon the yeranda. Helen stopped at

i answered Yes Helen smiled and
said. I thought 1 felt soft sound.
She ia particularly sensitive to musical
- vibrations. She is fond Of holding her
2apds against piano when 1t is being
nyed, and her face shows keen pleas
S0re while she is thus occupied. She
distinguishes between high chords and
low chords struck on piano. but her
sense of feeling does not distinguish
between major and minor chords nor
between concordant and discordant
sounds. 1t is to be borne in mind that
she has no remainder Of hearing what
ever, the drums Of her ears being rup-
tured.
"A great deal has been said and writ

readily by shaking the hand, and
sometimes recognizes at a second meet

whom she has met but once before.
have studied this accomplishment Of
hers a good deal, and am convinced
that she recognizes her acquaintances
not by the feeling Of the hand, but by

BREAD 1900 YEARS STALE.
It Was baked In PompsIi Before tn,
Eruptious.

It Was Baked In PompsIi Before the
Eruptions-
Sufferers from indigestion are ad-
vised to eat stale bread: the staler
the better. they are told. There is in
the museum at Naples some bread
which ought to be stale enough for any
body. 1t was baked one day in Au-
gust. IS A. D., in one of the curious
ovens still to be seen at Pompeii, says
the London Mail.
More than eighteen centuries, there
fore, have elapsed since 1t was drawn
all hot" and indigestible from the
oven. So 1t may claim to be the Oldest
bread In the world. You may see 1t
IN glass case on the upper floor OF
the museum. There are several loaves
OF 1t. one still bearing the impress Of
the bakers name
In shape and size they resemble the
small cottage loaves of England, but
not in appearance, for they are as
black as charcoal. which, in fact, they
closely resemble. This was not their
original color, but they have become
caroonized, and II eaten would prob
ably remind one of charcoal biscuits
When new they may have weighed
about couple of pounds each, and
We're most likely raised with leaven, as
is most of the bread in oriental coun-
tries at the present time.
The popular idea that Pompeii was
destroyed by lava is fallacious one.
II lava stream had descended upon
the city the bread and everything else
in the place would have been utterly
destroyed. Pompeii was really buried
under ashes and fine cinders called by
the Italians lapilli.
On that dreadful day in August,
when the great eruption of Vesusvius
took place, showers OF fine ashes fell
first upon the doomed city, then show
ers of lapilli, then more ashes. and
more lapilli. until Pompeii was covered
over to depth in places OF fifteen and
even twenty feet.
Other comestibles besides the bread
were preserved. and may now be seen
In the same room in the museum.
There are various kinds OF grain, fruit,
vegetables and even pieces of meat.
Most interesting is dish Of walnuts,
some cracked ready for eating, others
whole. Though carbonized, like all
the other eatables. they have preserved
their characteristic wrinkles and lines.
There are figs. too, and pears, the
former rather shriveled, as one would
expect after all these years, the latter
certainly no longer "juicy." But per-
haps the most interesting relic in the
room is honeycomb, every cell OF
which can be distinctly made out. It
is SO we'll preserved that it is hard to
realize that the comb is no longer wax
nor the honey honey.
A piece of the comb seems to have
been cut out. and one can imagine
some young Pompeiian having helped
himself to 1t and sitting down to eat.
when he had to jump up and fly for
his life. One cannot help wondering
what became Of the piece-whether the
young fellow took it with him and ate
1t as he ran, or whether he left 1t on
his plate. intending to return for it
when the eruption was over.
