THE PROFESSORS PRIZE.
1t Was Something He Could Beat.
bGt At Got the best of Vim.

One evening last winter one of Adel-
berts popular professors attended a
social function where the guests play
ed progressive pedro. game in which
the worthy educator lays no claim to
being an expert. In fact, on the pres
ent occasion he was credited with but
two progressions, 4 score of really as
tonishing smailness. Naturally, what
is termed the "'booby prize" fell to him,
and this time it took the form of i
double Xolk egg. with the following
sarcastic legend attached:
Something you can beat"
The professor smilingly accepted the
reward, and after it was passed around
md joked upon he finally slipped it
into the side pocket of his overcoat
and then straightway forgot its exist
ence.
When the party broke up, he accom-
panied two young ladies to their
home. When they reached the house
and the latchkey was produced and
used. it was found that the front door
was locked So tightly that it refused
to yield to ordinary pressure. So the
professor put his hip against panel
and pushed hard.
There was n dull crash. mild yell,
the professor leaped in the air and
ronvulsively clutched at his side.
The double yolk had exploded!
A moment later the afflicted educator
gingerly drew from his pocket pair
of exceedingly yellow gloves, followed
by muller of the same gaudy tint.
And the ladies leaned against the rail
ing and laughed. until they cried.
OF course they promised not to tell,
but in some unfathomed way the story
like the egg-Ieaked out.-Cleveland

THAT FIRST SIN.
Figures to Show That Adam and Eve
Ate Eight Million Apples.


Probably our great ancestor, Adam,
little thought of the trouble he would
cause posterity by eating an apple.
But now the question as to how many
apples he really did eat is n new diff
Guilty.
How many apples did Adam and Eve
eat? Was it one or was it millions?
When the subject was first mooted the
editor very naturally replied, why,
one, of course"
''No," said the assistant editor, Eve
ate one, and Adam ate one, too; that's
two"
Then the subeditor passed along a
slip of paper on which was written,
Eve 81 and Adam 81, making 162."
But the poet, who is n man of imag-
ination, capped this with, Eve 81 and
Adam S12-S93."
Then the publisher tried his hand,
and his contribution was. Eve S,142
see how it tasted, and Adam S12,
equals S,954."
The poet, who dislikes being sur
passed as much as he hates BARRIERS,
came up to the scratch again with
eve SAP see how it tasted, and Ad-
am S1,242 keep her company--S9,3S4."
Then the humorist, who had been
listening, quietly handed in his con-
tribution, Eve s. 142 see how it tasted,
and Adam S,124,210-der n husband
was he to see her eat alone. This
equals S,132,3 52."
But he had another object" said the
poet. Eve S,142 satisfy her curiosity,
and Adam SPA ,24o-fy Eve in her po-
Sition That makes 8 132 3S2 "-Phila-

That SECOND Chapter.

The new pastor was preaching his
first sermon. In the middle of it he
stopped abruptly and asked:
How many of you have read the
Bible?'
Fifty hands went up.
Good" said the pastor. 'Now, how
many of you have read the second
chapter of Jude?"
Twenty-Five hands went up.
y wan smile overspread the divine's
face.
That's also good; but when you go
home read that chapter again, and you
will doubtless learn something to your
interest"
There is only one chapter in the book
Of Jude.-Guthrie 20. IT, Leader.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's sense of the
ridiculous has always been saving

say something lovely about my piaz-

the reply.

Mrs. Howe responded, Il think it is n

COPPER HIGH ENOUGH.
A Further Advance in Price Would
 Prove Detrimental.

It is stated that large copper pro- duceTs realize thsI a further raise iH the p:ice of copper may prove disas- trous rather than beneficial, and th9 [ they welcome any substitute for cop
 per which will tend to keep the pricF down, says the Mining and Scientific Press. To how great an eXtert this IS true is left to ones imagination. Thus far aluminium is tEe only metal which has replaced copper to any extent, though a more extended use of it may be anticipated As yet many look upon the use Of aluminium for .he transmission or electric power as an experiment., but some large and ex- pensive installations are being made and when these have fully demon strated that aluminium is 9 successful substitute for copper an extensive use of that meal may be anticipated. Aluminium at it's present price. is cheaper than copper at it's present price tby reason of their great differ ence in specific gravity. The supply of alumi inum-bearing minerals is in- exhaustible, and with a more extended use of the metal the cosE of it's pro- duction is likely to decrease. The largest copper producers of the c0un- try seem to have reached their Limit of capacity. at least for long time to coms, and there does not appear .o be any decided tendency on the part of the great mines to increase it. Doubtless the managers realize the possibility of a lower price, influenced largely, perhaps, by the extended sub s'itu.ion cI9 aluminium wires for cop per, and that a heavier output under such conditions would have a ten do7cv To cheane0 rather than raise the price of copper. Such additional output would not materially lessen .-he cost Of production. The large pro- ducers have exhausted their reserve supply of copper. The Calumet a few years ago had 5000 tons of metal in store, which is now all gone into the markets, showing that they are taking advantage of what my be the highest prices to unload

STRANGE STORIES OF THE MINES.
A Fire Blazes Forth From an Air Tighi
 Wall.


 There is a story going the rounds Of the press telling Of the discovery cf a flower in the cavity of a fly wheel that had been doing duty on a stationary engine for several years. says the Western Mining World. The discov- cry is said 70 have been made at an iron foundry somewhere in Ontario not long ago. Some workmen in breaking up the old wheel discovered the flower in a perfect state of p-Cser- vation, it is said. The truth of the story is vouched for by certain reI:l lble men and is certainly remarkable cir cumstance. But strange as this story may be, Lump Gulch furnished enc equally as wonderful A short time ago 1t was decided to remove the urge boiler from the shaft house at the old workings on the Free Coinage mine to the new shaft now being sunk on the property, a distance of perhaps 500 feet. While workmen were engage1 in removing the brick and stone work with which the boiler was encased they discovered a fire in a cavity of the masonry which blazed and spaTkled when the rocks and masonry were re- moved, so that there was free contact 'Wllu lu0 dlT, IKE d DSQ OI live CJdlS The fire was discovered in cavity in 'lhe rock work, SIX inches from the boiler and more than that distance re- moved from the outside surface, which was also solid masonry. The ques- tion which puzzles the miners is, how came that fire to be alive in that solid wall? It is now nearly three years since a fire has been under that boiler. yet a fire was discovered in the solid wall with which the boiler was en- cased exactly as here related Perhaps some fire expert or scientist may be able to throw light on this phenome- non, but it has proved to be beyond the depth of the ordinary individual. N'e%her of the woTkmen engaged is re- moving the casing from around the boiler used tobacco and no one beside the two wOrkmen had been in the shaft house during the progress of the work. :.
