MYSTERIOUS ELgcrRolo.

Francis Ryebao@ski mechanical engineer of HemBerg. Austria, has dis covered 2 strange and very subtle mat ter. which he has called "eIeetroid z because Of certain affinity with elee- tricity Eleetroid, produced by a spe- cial apparatus built by the inventor. is obtained by the dissolution of certain matters under the influence of the electric current.
 It makes noise, and a the same time a refreshing scent and cool breeze are experienced This discovery indacea Mr Ryehnowski to make machine capable of refreshing che air 10 such a degree that those present during the experiment had the feeling that the window was open, although this was not the case Eleetrojd is very subtle matter, but it seems to be a fluid and it can be gathered and presergeds while falling on plate t reflects ia shape Of shining sheaYes. The com mission appointed by the Austrian government to investigathe this dis eoyery reported that. under the indu- ence of eIeetfoid plants grow rapidly and the buds Of flowers uaelose while one is looking al them Eleetroid An initiates microbes. and thus preserves organic matter. These are physlo- logical influences Of eleetrojd.
 Among mechanical phenomena the commission reported that the influence Of eleeuoid is not stopped even by 3 brick wall and glass that it attracts solid bodies and makes them shine like moonught-it makes them move and attract other bodies; finally. that it acts on photographic plates and pro duees sharp and distinct lines. sueh as were formerly possible only with a very powerful lens.

A FOOL.

Onceupon a time there lived q fool
who was unhappy because he expected
TOO much. There was no hope for him.
He'd been like that from birth When
a boy, he had a chum; they were In.
separable at school for years. One
day, they got into mutual scrape, and
the chum -'peached' on the fool. II
couldn't help Ill got an awful lick
ing, and I should have got a worse one
if 1 hadn't said it was you. And You
did do it bit, you know-ond-hang
it all, you expect too much The
fool grew up, and he loved a girl, and
she loved him, till the rich man came
and then: well, how could l help 1t?
Mother was always nagging at me, and
Dad looking cross, and-I knew you'd
get over it, and We couldn't have got
married for long, long time. You
know, you expect too much" He was
an awful fool, and loved again, and
married her. He built his cosy home
nest, and twined it round with many
happy hopes; bus his wife loved life
and gaiety and change" and so the
fool lived alone in his Office and slept
in his home: You know, dear, you
can't expect me to stop IN always, and
just when you come home 1 have to
go out. You know. 1 must go to Mrs.
worth while coming home for. an hour
or so, so I'll go on with them to the
theater. 1 can't help it if you can't
come out with me; you expect TOO
much" Then the fool Rugged a secret
joy-he expected a child. and the child
came. The fool loved his baby girl,
and poured on her all the other loves
that had been turned back; and the
girl grew and loved the fool and the
fool was happy; till one day the girl
Sad, Daddy, dear, he Is SO fond of
me, and l love him very dearly; and
he says you won't be losing a daugh-
ter. but be gaining a son. OF course,
I shall be sorry to leave you. dear, but
I do love him so,-and-all girls
leave home some time or other, don't
they? And he wants me so-and, you
know, dear, you mustn't expect too
much" So again the fool lived in his
office and slept in his home, and when
they told him of the happiness to come
in heaven, he muttered. mo. thatn
turn out wrong, too, 1 know. expect
too much. Sketch.
