Cultivation of the Ro4nan Campaena.

Cultivation of the Roman Campagns4
 Last spring disorders took place at eastel Gandolfo, a village on the AL osn hills, provoked by peasants agi- ating for bread or for lanFd on which o cultivate grain. Prince Barberini, proprietor of much land in the neigh sorhood, portioned out a part of it. which had for the last 100 years been ct f5r pasture, between IA peasantsl The terms offered to the peasants were imple. They were given a three years ease of the land on condition that lhey should cultivate it with maize or wheat, and that one-third of the crops hould belong to Prince Barberini and he other two-thirds to the peasants. The first harvest of maize has now ,een reaped, and the results are most ncouraging The value of the crop is calculated at $500 lire, and third, iqual to about 80 pounds, goes into he pockets of Prince Barberini. The wheat has just been sown, and it is expected that it will produce 12,600 ire, of which 4,200 lire, or 16O pounds, Vill belong to Prince Barberini, who sill thus have 240 pounds year out of and which has yielded him less than 0 pounds year. In addition, he has Ssured good livelihood to IA stary- az families. s.---London Post.

Must Now Be Considered High Com
 p1iment.
 Have you ever observed at theater or concert that the people who are most deeply interested appear between the acts to be quite weary of the whole thing, yawning half a dozen times i'll succession? The reason of this is a physiological one. When your atten- ton is much absorbed in anything ex- citing or touching, you breathe in a very shallow manner. and take into your lungs only half enough air. Con- sequently, when your attention is re- faxed, you have to make up the defi- eieney. This you do by yawning, which. after all, is only breathing a very deep breath. If you watch a man at a play, and observe that he is greatly moved by some incident, you may feel sure that when the scene ends he will sigh, and a moment or two later yawn repeatedly Of course the yawning, so far from being a sign of weariness, is a proof of the liYeliesi appreciation. Very often you will ob- serve the same phenomenon in a girl reading novel. And by her yawns you can tell when the end of some ab- sorbinS incident is reached.

EEL BEAMS
Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use of
 Electricity.


 During the reconstruction of an of flee building recently in Chicago an Interesting use was made of the cleo tric current in cutting in two clus- ter of half a dozen heavy steel beams which it was necessary to remove. These beams were of the ordinary shape and 15 inches deep. Owing to the difficulty of getting at the beams at the places where they were to be cut, special saws would have been re- uuired had the beams been cut in the ordinary way, and it was estimated kthat the work would take two men about twelve days time and cost about S1OO. Instead of doing the work with hack saws, a method was adopted such as scientific burglars invented for get ting into safe and vault doors of steel. A current of electricity was brought in from the electric lighting wires in 1 the street to do the work. The posi- tive terminal wire was attached to the steel framework of the building, to which the beams were riveted, and the negative wire was attached to a carbon point one and half inches in diameter. which was provided with a wooden handle to enable the operator to direct it along the beams at the places where they were to be cut. An asbestos shield protected the operators $ body from the heat and black specta- cles protected his eyes. In twelve hours the beams were severed, with an expenditure of only about fiye-horse power in electric current, and the work was done by an ordinary work man.

HOAxED A WORLD.
Andres Reported Death the Joke of g
 Russian Physieian.

Russian Physician.
 If the statement made recently by a St. Petersburg journal is true, the re- port that Andre and his two compan- ions had been found in 8 cabin near Krasnoiarsk is the result of a huge joke. It is more than probable, since the investigations set on foot by the Russian government have revealed nothing, that the ill-fated explorer never reached the shore of northern Asia; it is even possible that he is yet alive. The story given out is that a certain Siberian mine-owner, who lived in the wilds of the steppe, wished to decoy out for a brief visit dear friend of his, physician of Krasnoiarsk. He therefore wrote to him that Andre and his two companions had come down on his mine, and that although they wished to keep their presence secret for a few weeks, the learned doctor might enjoy their conversation until such time as they should choose to reveal their presence, and then share the honor of their discoveries. The physician, however, smelt the mouse and replied by the next mall that Andre and his two companions could not have come to the mine-owner's house, since their bodies had been found in an old cabin near Krasno- iarsk. Then followed the description of their supposed death, the details of which, in almost identical words of the physician, the Russian govern ment caused to be cabled over the world. For some reason the mail de- tectives, who open every letter either way, failed to catch the first Andre statement, but did open the report that he had been found by the Toun- gous. Such, at least. is the version current in the capital of the all-om- nipotent czar. It is possible, however that both stories, that of Andres death, and then this explanation of 1t originated in the brain of some fertile space-writer. Unless, indeed, the Rus. sian newspapers are different from those of the rest of the world.

MAINTAINING PARTY,

The way the bimetallie PRINCIPLES
brings the money metals together and
maintains their parity with each other
can easily be understood, It is made
plain by the following familiar illus
grafton OF Jevous: when two recsp-
taclss for fluids are separated from
each other, the height to which the
Auid will rise in each. depends upon the
quantity poured into it. But when
there is connecting pipe between
them the fluid will rise 10 the fsme lev
lin both, whichever receives the supply
and thi2'ezactly illustrates the move
ment of the metals in Western Europe,
under the bimetalllc law OF France Of
1903. which provided for the unrs-
stristed coinage Of both metals, and
gave to the coins struck from each the
Office of unlimited legal tender. Their
legal tender function, allowing the
coins struck from one OF the metals to
freely take the place Of the coins struck
from the other metal, for monetary
purposes, was the connecting pipe, and
az the fluid discharged from the com.
mon outflow was single fluid, though
in the inflow the color Of one Of them
may have been white and that Of the
other yellow, so where the standatd is
bimetallic money, and in its rylation to
commodities as expressive ofvslue as
is a single standard, though it il called
q bimetallic or double standard because
two metals are selected for full none
tary use. The effect OF the use OF the
two metals in the currency is to steady
the volume of money and consequent
prices of commodities and prevent thai
great depression of prices caused by a
shrinkags of the volume OF primary
money and credits resting upon it,
which inevitably takes place when only
one metal is uaed.

over 5000, 100000 worth. Practically
we sold twice as much ss we bought
leaving a balance of $500, 100000 il
