While France has surrendered her
self to a wild fury of anti-Semitism.
one OF that race has passed from a
world which, perhaps, she had benefit
ed and blessed more than any other
private individual. Clare, Baroness de
Hirsch. was not only the richest wom-
an in. Europe; her whole fortune and
life itself-a life overshadowed by an
incurable disease-were devoted to
philanthropy. 1t is said that no worthy
cause ever appealed to her in vain. No
thoughtful person can countenance the
common vituperation of race to
which Baroness Hlrsch belonged. Even
the thoughtful sometimes seem to for
get that Christ Himself was Jew.

An effort is being made to intro
duce into England the Nodon-Breton-
neau method for seasoning wood by
means of electricity. By this system
the timber to be seasoned is placed in
large tank and immersed, all but an
inch or. two, in a solution containing
10 per cent of borax, 8 of resin, and
0.75 of carbonate of soda. The lead
plate upon which it rests is connected
to the positive pole of a dynamo, and
the negative pole being attached to a
similar plate arranged on its upper
surface SO as to give good electrical
contact, the circuit is completed
through the wood. After from five to
eight hours the wood is removed and
dried either by artificial or natural
means. In the latter case a fortnight's
exposure in summer weather is said
to render it as well seasoned as stor-
age in the usual way for five years.

Doctor Herman of the University
OF Kiel has been feeling the wrists of
the members of bicycle club, imme-
diately after they had pushed their
wheels up a moderate ascent. In every
case the pulse was beating at the rate
of one hundred and fifty to one hun
dred and sixty ctrokes minute. and
in one man OF stouter build it mounted
to one hundred and eighty. AS seven
ty-eight is the normal average, it ap-
pears that this kind of exertion may
quite double the activity of the heart.
The doctor had previously observed
this effect on himself, after wheeling
up the same hill, and he gives warning
that the like result may follow a rida
too long continued or over a lumpy
road. He also advises the cycler not
to smoke when riding, and to keep his
mouth shut, SO as to breathe only
through the nose.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
what Cabcry's Strange Piece OF Mcchan'
ism Can Do.

What Cabcry's Strange Piece OF Mcchan'
ism Can Do.
A Kankakee county man is the pos
Gessor of one OF the most wonderful
clocks in the country. This clock Is
RS near perpetual motion machine as
any piece of mechanism yet designed.
The owner Is not perpetual crank,
but an exceedingly ingenious jeweler
named Peter M. Ravenskilde Of Cabery,
hustling town in the southwestern
portion OF Kankakee county. The
clock is the product Of many years OF
study and labor and considerable ex-
pense. 1t keeps acc rl'o time and Will
run for year without nc least atten-
ton from its ownor. The clcck prop
err is run with a wheel sixty inches In
circumference. From the outer surface
Of the circumference are suspended 10
rups, each one-half inch in diameter
and third OF an inch deep. Each or
forty Of these cups, which are success
E!ve, contains steel balls three-e !Shths
Fl an inch in diameter. EyCry minute
end half as this wheel turns by the
weight of these balls, one OF th2m falls
put of its cup, rolls down an inclined
klane twenty inches long, when by Its
lwn weight, it reunites broken cir
ruit Of electricity and is again eie-
waited by little car travelling along
sleeper inclined plane to the top OF the
Cheel, where it falls into a deep cup
which stands vertical for short time.
| After the car discharges its cargo 1t
returns to its original station from its
own weight. From the time one oil
| these balls is dropped into another
lup it travels thirty-siX inches. Thus
The work done by all the balls is equiv
llent to one ball travelling over one
mile day; 400 miles in one year, and
during the lifetime Of person living
three score years the distance around
| the globe. The electricity used is gen.
| grated in an ordinary storage battery,
which does not require any attention
Tor fully year. Another clock owned
! by Mr.. RaYenskilde is of a similar con-
ttruction, but considerably smaller
This clock is used to attract attention
In the store. A porcelain globe Is
Placed back Of the clock and at night
green, red and white electric lights
reflect their rays alternately on the
lace Of the clock, the colors being
| changed each time the ball is discharg-
I'd from one of the cups on the time

Swiss HumOr.

The Pail Mall Gazette, having had
access to the official archives of the
custom house at Les Verrieres, pub
fishes the following example of duly
scheduled imports: A missionary was
returning to Basel from Patagonia,
bringing with him, not as the fruits
of his labors, but merely for the pur-
poses of science, collection of Pata-
gonian skulls. The custom house Of
ficers opened the chest, inspected the
contents, and informed the owner that
the consignment must be classed as
animal bones, and taxed at so much
the pound. The missionary was just
ly indignant; therefore the officials
agreed to reconsider the question.

It appeared in the following form:

Aluminum's DIscoyerer.

The first discoverer of aluminium
had the reward of his genius Pliny
tells us that in the reign Of Tiberius
al B. c. to 81 A. d. worker in
metals presented a beautiful cup re-
sembling silver, but lighter, to the
emperor, who questioned him, and
learned that he had extracted the new
metal from clay. The secret, he said,
was known but to himself and the gods.
The sage Tiberius, rejecting that if
this metal could be made from earth it
would lower the price of silver and
gold, decapitated the artifcer in order
that his secret might remain with the
gods, and so deprived the world Of a
most useful metal for eighteen centu-
ries.

Pope's Noble Critic.

When Pope was first introduced to
Lord Halifax, to read his Iliad, the
noble critic generously criticised this
passage and that word at frequent in
tervals. The poet was stung with vex-
alton, for the parts that most pleased
him were the ones most criticised. AS
he returned home with Sir Samuel
Garth he revealed his displeasure.
"Oh," said Garth, you are not ac-
quainted with his lordship; he must
criticise. At the next visit read him
the same passages and tell him you
recollect his criticisms" Pope made
use of this stratagem. Halifax was
delighted and exclaimed: Pope, they
are now inimitable. Detroit Ere,

QUEEN. COUNTESS AND CAT.

How Nocturnal Dlscords Raised an I'm
queIIabIe Social Row in Rome.
The death of the empress of Austria
has served to revive many old stories
of her aversion to conventionality, but
in this she was far eXcelled by her sis
ter the former queen of Naples, who,
after her husband had lost his throne,
took up her residence at Rome with the
king and her child. She occupied
palace adjacent to that inhabited by
the mother of Cardinal Antonelli, the
papal secretary of state. The aged lady
was passionately devoted to cats, and
these animals, in accordance with their
invariable custom, were wont to make
the otherwise exquisite Roman nights
hideous with their concerts. The queen
repeatedly sent to the old Countess An
tonelli, entreating her to keep her cats
under proper restraint, at any rate at
night. This the countess refused to do.
At length the queen became desperate,
guns and proceeded to shoot the dis
turbers of her rest. The old countess,
frantic with rage, appealed first of all
to her son, the secretary OF state, and
then to the late pope himself, insisting
that some check should be put upon
the sporting proclivities of the royal
Diana, and that she should be debarred
from potting cats under the very
shadow of the walls of st. Peters and
the vatican. But the good pope de-
clined to interfere, intimating that the
cats should not have made such hor-
rible noises and that they practically
deserved their fate For a long time
Rome laughed about this cat episode,
popular sympathy being all with the
former queen, though it is doubtful
whether Cardinal Antonelli ever forgot
or forgave the injury done to his moth
er's pets. At any rate, the queen and
her husband found it preferable year
later to abandon their residence in
Rome.

MANlTOBA'S CAPACITY,
Enough Wheat to Supply Britain All
She REQUIRES from Abroad.

She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto Nov. 10.-The World"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity Of
Canada as a granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of forty-seven
million acres. Deducting ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land. 37000,000 acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for 10000 famil-
les on 800 acres each, and as up to now
there are only $4,000 farmers there al
together, that leaves room in one prov
ince for S9,008 more wheat growers.
Supposing, then, we got them there
and each one of them out of his 800
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels to the acre; if you figure it
I'D you will find it is quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. 1t
is only question of money and COM
paratively speaking not money either.
The cost of one first-class battleship
(about f750,00W would put 5000 fam
lilies onto farms in the Northwest, al
lowing ESQ to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an
extra 100000 bushels, for If that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
a duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in ASSinibOia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
