Mcdonald, the millionaire tobacco
manufacturer, of Montreal, and the
giyer of huge sums to McGill Uni

The st. Petersburg Academy of Sci
ence was interested recently by a note
from Prof. Karpinsky, describing some
peculiar hail which fell in Russian
Poland. The grains were pear shap-
ed and contained black granules.
Chemical analysis showed that they
consisted of iron, nickel and cobalt,
this satisfied Prof. Karpinsky that
they were of cosmic origin. The iron
was magnetic. The grains, probably
the debris of meteors that had been
burned in the upper air, would have
escaped detection had they not been
inclosed in the transparent hail pei

The people of this section have read
and been told all their lives of the
thrilling adventures which fell to the
pioneers who went west in '40s and
covered the vast expanse of territory
between the father of waters and the
Rockies in a six-in-hand. They have
dreamed of the experience, and have
longed to realize it, but the stage
lines of the country are becoming few,
while in other countries the thrilling
experience of a ride behind six sturdy
beasts Of the plain is still more diff
cult to obtain.

Paper Bath Robes.

Bath robes made of paper are now
manufactured, and their use is becom-
ing quite a fad. The kind of material
used resembles plotting paper. It
quickly dries the body, and as the pa
per is a bad heat conductor the much
dreaded cold after the bath can be
avoided. Whole suits are made of this
paper stuff, including coverings for the
head and feet. One advantage of the
fad is the cheapness of such a gar
ment. making it possible for the poor
est person to W one.

the bell. Hundreds of the little ones
went in promptly and were out of the
way of the engines. Two alarms were
sent in for the fire, which started in
the basement, occupied by Eddl Nord-
LIGHT as an egg store. The flames
originated from an explosion of a kerr
osene lamp. Twenty families live in
the building, most of whom became
excited and went to the roof. Some
of the mothers forgot their children
and had to return for them. When
the firemen arrived the flames were
$3.50.

Splendid Piano for the CzarIna.

Car Alexander sent to Stuttgart for
a suitable present for the empress on
the occasion Of her recent birthday
celebration. He selected an ornate
upright piano for her boudoir. The
case is in the richest Louis XVI. style,
and the front board is jeweled with
brilliant gems. The black keys are
made of real ebony and the white ones
are covered with mother of pearl. Ger.

and exquisite instrument Of its kind
ever made.

Well as Dance,

Well as Dance,
Miss Minnie Fell is one of the most
exclusive d%ebutantes of the austerely
exclusive set of prim Philadelphia
this season. She is a cousin of the
Drexel brothers, and connected by
family ties with almost everyone of
note in the metropolis of Pennsylvania.
But Miss Fell is not only a society
girl, but an athlete as well, and If she
makes as good a run for the honors
of belledom as she made last week
in the athletic world she ough to be
a leader by the time the Lenten bells
ring. All her friends around town are
congratulating her on her courage and
presence of mind when she recently
captured a burglar in broad daylight
on Broad street. She and Miss Pauline
Biddle had just left the box office of
a theater, where they had been pur-
chasing tickets, when a burly negro
grabbed Miss Fell's pocketbook and
was off with a rush. But Miss Fell
was a "rusher' too. She pursued him
down Broad street to SAMSON and
around the corners, until at Twelfth
and Walnut she overhauled him, and,
grabbing his coattails, hung on and
screamed until a policeman came to
her assistance. Owing to her desire
not to have the affair made public she
did not appear against the footpad,
who only got ninety days in conse-
quence; but such an escapade as that
was bound to come out, and now all
the town is talking about it.

Submarine Search Liehts.

One Of the disadvantages of a search
fight on war vessels is the revealing
of the position Of the ship. In the
United States navy experiments have
been made with submarine lights,
which were placed we'll below the sur
face of the water, and their rays were
directed slightly upward. AS the light
emerged from the water the observers
on deck could detect any vessel at the
point OF emergence, and the search
light would not betray It's own source.

fortune which can happen to a man
when he has attained the highest
aims, his father and mother are sun
alive, and he can and does say with
proudest modesty, "All that I am /
owe to them" Kipllng's father was
an artist, holding an official position
in India, and lives now in retirement
in the neighborhood Of his son, for
with such a globe-trotter, Wiltshire is
regarded as quite near Sussex. Happy
father and happy son! Of his mother
he naturally does not speak to strang-
ers, but it is sufficient to hear a man
say my mother to understand the
relations that exist between them"
The impression of all this happiness
was so strong upon DR.. Kellner that
after his interview he said to himself:
To-day / have seen happiness face to
face"
The first impression produced by

Something Similar.

"The expression o. K. is an Amer

countries" "Indeed?" YES; in Rus

twenty pages every day, but Trollope
and Kipling! He guessed at once
what had astonished me. II do my
daily task conscientiously, but not all
that I write is printed; most of it goes
there" The waste paper basket UNI
der the table here received a vigorous
kick and a mass of torn-up papers
rolled out or the ground. Kipling's
movements are quick and lively, and,
perhaps, somewhat nervous; a thor
oughly southern temperament.
Distrustful as he is about himself,
he is without bounds in his recogni-
ton of others. He admires Steven
son warmly, delights in Henley's po-
etry. He expressed himself in high
praise of the latest work of Leonard
Merrick, 1.-THE Actor-Manager." He
interests himself in all the literary
work of the day, and is at home in all
the chief movements and side currents
in the spiritual life of England. When
discussing the Literary History of
England" which DR.. Kellner has in
hand, Mr.. Kipling said:
"If I had your book to write would
attempt in a final chapter to discover
the path which may lead from the
present chaotic condition of our liter
allure and that of the twentieth cen
fury. l would call the chapter BE-
tween the Epochs." I feel that we
are between ebb and flood. 1t is now
just what sailors call slack tide;' we
are waiting for the great personality
which will unite all the minor ten
dencies of the time and collect all the
partial and petty forces into one
power that will give a new and ade-
quate expression to the new time.'

have gone to create so remarkable a
phenomenon-and with Teutonic dt-
rectness he applied to the distinguish
ed author himself. The result was an
interview which appeared recently as
a feuilleton in a Viennese journal-the
"Neues Wiener Observation-Disclosures
with Mr.. Kipling's permission.
What appears to have struck DR..
Kellner most in the personality Of his
subject was the air of happiness which
surrounded him.

conscience. Literary creation Is, for
him, the highest joy, and the calling
of a writer the noblest pursuit. Nor

Commons by Mr.. Charles Wertheimer,
who purchased it for s1,400. Crom-
wells personal appearance, which has
hitherto been known only through the
portraits of the painters, is by this
bust set in a new light. To quote the
words of the writer. "The beautiful
bust is in remarkable contrast to the
sadness and the suggestion of coarse
hess which marks most of the paint
ers' portraits. The main featsres of
the lion face are there, but the added

refrained from idealizing his subject

sition Of the head makes some people
who have seen the model think that

viewed from its own level to be seen
at It's best, and that 1t will be less eff
fective from the main floor of the

ce1ve the most attention.
