"measly pork" The learned scientist,
wishing some for study, went to the
butcher and asked If he ever got any

"Well, said the professor, "the next
time You have any l wish you'd send
me up some. meaning, Of course, to his
laboratory.
The butcher stared at him, but said
he would Three weeks passed, when
the professor, growing impatient, again
dropped in.
Haven't you found any measly pork

"Why, yes, said the butcher ~

A sickly grin broke over the pro-

A correspondent of Popular Science
News tells of party of Alpine climb
ers who, having spent five hours among
the SHOWS Of the mountains, returned
to their homes after dark. A great
change had to all appearance taken
place since the night before. Instead of
being Illuminated in the usual way,
the place was supplied with green
lights.
1t took the travellers a little time to
realize that they were suffering from
Daltonism, or color blindness, superin-
duced by eye fatigue The intense light
caused by the sun shining upon the
snow had for the time rendered them
unable to judge of colors and given rise
to their curious mistake Three hours
elapsed before the eyes regained their
normal condition.
Chevreul explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon a given color with
out tending to become insensible to it,
When the eye looks long upon a color,
it should be rested by the complement
tary color. Thus an eye that has grown
tired with green should be rested 10y
red, which is green's complementary
color.

in the mind of the chief that the fugi-

county commiss oners refuse to defray
the expense, of bringing any criminal
back here for prosecution, SO when q

killed. the young woman escaped with
nothing more than bruises.
F. S. Sutherland, late of the United

many wonderful escapes. While in

When near the top, stone gave. and
he made sheer plunge of IT'S feet. He
struck the telegraph wires forty feet

Hundreds of people saw Sutherland
falling, and stood spellbound with hor

balances were sent for in the hope
that spark of life might remain; but
when the doctors examined Suther-

in the hospital he was up and about

to kill his children by throwing them
