Cancels Hair Brushes.

The camels hair brush used by artists
has nothing of bactria in it. There was
a time when real came's hair was used
for this purpose. The ship of the desert,
however, has long been superseded by
the homely squirrel. Not only is squirrel S
hair very much less costly, but it is better,
softer, more pliable and more durable.
At the present day it is doubtful if you
could find bushel of camel's hair in all
the brush factories in the land. How
ever, there is no cause for fear that the
graceful squirrel will be exterminated.
1t is the European squirrel that furnishes
the hair for the brushes, the covering OF
American squirrel being too furry and
soft for the purpose.
1t is somewhat the same way with
the courser brushes. The bristles most
priced come from Russia and India, and
the wild hogs of Germany furnish their
quota. The great American hog runs to
lat and puts fourth practically no bris-
ties. Iu the countries above mentioned
the collecting of bristles is quite an i'm
portant industry among the peasantry of
certain districts. In comparatively few
cases are they stripped from the dead body
OF the hog. The usual method is to dis
cover the haunts of the animals and to
gather the bristles from thes trees again
st which they rub themselves.

Reading-rooms for the Blind.

Among all the evidences of improve
ment and progress which the end of the
century brings with it, none is more en-.
couraging than the constant effort which
is being made to alleviate by mechanical
and other devices the burdens of those
who through their infrmities are depriv-
ed of many of the ordinary pleasures oil
life.
Conspicuous among these evidences OF
philanthropic progress is the establish
ment in the new Congressional Library
of Congress OF reading-room for the
blind In an editorial in the current
number of Harper's Bazaar the following
description is given of the uses and pur-
poses OF the room:
Books printed especially for blind
readers, with raised type and characters,
are so expensive as to place them beyond
the reach ofslender purses. In the Wash
ington Library nearly every edition OF
the works of standard authors printed
in raised characters has a duplicate,
which is demanded by copyright, and
the list is sufficiently large to provide the
best reading for the unfortunate persons,
who are by this means endowed with a
wealth of learning and entertainment in
in prose, poetry, and musical compost
TONS"
Since the opening of the readng-room
in the Washington Library, the plan has
been adopted in various other cities
throughout the country.

Profits from the Sea.

The average value of the product of
agricultural lands per acre or square mile
is often computed, but probably few of
us have seen similar computations relat-
ing to the sea. Prof. Heusens, writing
in the German geographical periodical,
Globus, has figured out an average OF
this sort for the North Sea which is well
known to be one Of the worlds great
sources OF value derived from fisheries.
He says the value of the fish caught in
the North Sea yearly by the countries
bordering it is about Sill 100000. The
yearly catch is never known to be less
than $37 100000 nor more than $45,-
100000. The North Sea, including the
Skager Rak or gulf between the southern
part of Norway and Sweden, has an area
of 225, 1884 square miles, and, therefore,
the average value of the North Sea
fisheries each year is $1S.15 for every
square mile of the sea. England and
Scotland take the lions share OF the
wealth OF these waters, the annual value
Of the English fisheries being about $21,-
$50 1000; Scotland, Sc, $50, 900; Holland
$4,750,000; France; $3,120,O0O; Ger.
many, So, 100000; Norway, $95OOOO;
Belgium, 100000; Denmark, $500, 900
Thus all the nations around the North
Sea share in the wealth it yields, and il
gives some idea of the direct monetary
value of this great watery waste to
know that every square mile of it adds
over SIS year to the production of the
nations living along its edge.

A French PhiIanthrOpist.

M. Bonjean does not believe in heredi-
ty. He thinks that chld's instincts
are created by his environment not by
his inheritance. Any child can be absol-
utely changed from bad to good by the
right kind of moral influence, by effect
ion and by confidence. Out of the hun
dreds and thousands of boys he had re-
formed he gave certain examples that
touched us extremely. At one of his in
situations he had number ofvery young
boys who had been in prison for incen-
diaries. He called them to him and rep
resented that they had forfeited theirright
to the consideration of the world by
endangering their lives and fortunes Of
other people. The only way in which they
could get it back was by doing some
thing in their turn, in case Of fire, to help
and save others. So he made them into
company of firemen, to which he pre-
sented a fre-engine. One night there
was fire, and NJ. Bonjean went out to
see how his band were acquitting them
selves. Part were at the engine, and
part were making chain to pass pals
OF water from the river to the burning
house, at the end of which, plunged up
to his waist in water, was little chap OF
eight who had had three incenadiaries to
his credit. 1t was cold November night,
and M. Bonjean noticed that the boy
was shivering. "You must not stay any
longer" he said; you are risking your
life." "What does it matter that am
risking my life if l am only making re-
paration?" was the answer.
Another boy had been convicted of
stealing. One of M. Bonjean's first acts
was to send him to pay a bill. 81 trust
you perfectly" he said, and he counted
out six hundred francs in gold. The
little fellows face flushed, but he took
the money and vert off When he came
back it was waving the receipted bill.
II paid it," he said. 81 knew you
would" was M. Bonjean's answer, and
the philanthropist has lived to see this
child grown up, with position of trust,
and happily married, with boys of his
own Paris Letter, in Harper's Bazaar.

Destroying old Cars.

The American Car and Foundry Com
pany has lately bought $4,000 small
wooden coal cars from the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad. These used to be run over
the line, as well as the Philadelphia and
Reading and other coa-carrying roads,
but are too small for present uses, and
they have had to be discarded for cars bet
ter adapted to present traffic conditions.
They were accordingly sold to the Car
and Foundry Company for scrap, each
car containing approximately two and
half tons OF scrap, not counting the
wheels and axels. The company has also
got hold of 5000 box cars which it was
desired to break up. Accordingly a
piece Of ground several acres in extent
was leased near Detroit, Mich, and
the scrap from these cars. Portable
tracks were laid down, derrick was
erected, shears for cutting cold iron were
provided, and whole wrecking plant
was fitted up. At first it was the inten-
ton OF the company to turn the cars
over to the Poles and such other people
as might desire the privilege, giving
them all the wood they might get for
the tearing down of the cars. This plan
was not successful, however, because it
was soon discovered that the wreckers
were taking more iron-worth from half
cent to one cent a pound-than was
desirable, and so the process of burning
the cars was adopted.
Whenever it is possible to do this the
body of the car is lifted from the trucks
and swung over the cremation pile. In
the case OF the coal cars they will not
separate so conveniently. Accordingly
a train Of ten or fifteen cars is made up.
Then locomotive adjusts itself, with
out coupling, to this train, and with a
good start the train is sent at great
speed out on one the portable tracks.
When at full Roadway the train is aban-
doned by the locomotive and the cars go
pell-mell to the wreck heap, piling one on
top of the other four and five deep. 1t is
a veritable railway wreck, contrived in
tentionally and for purpose. Those in
charge OF the work say they can destroy
about one hundred cars a day, but it
will probably be November or December
before the work is completed.-[The

Mosquitoes and Malaria.

Some interesting Investigations have
recently been carried on by physicians
and scientists, intended to prove the
long-suspected relation which mosquitoes
bear to malaria. Enough has been done
to demonstrate clearly the fact that the
night air, which we shut out of our win
dows, is not our real enemy, but the mos
quitoes which enter when the windows
are open. Persons, even in the most
malarious Of countries, who wear gauze
wells by day and who sleep under nets at
night, remain impervious to the evils of
the climate, proving that insects, not the
Their test and proof of this theory, first
enunciated, by-the-way, in 1907, young
and healthy man in Rome, vino had
never been affected by malaria submitted
to being stung by certain mosquitoes
brought from neighboting district for
the purpose. He developed all the symp-
toms of that peculiar kind of malaria
prevalent in the district from which the
mosquitoes had been taken. Dead mos
quitoes in wells and springs will also
cause malaria. We therefore have not
been altogether unjusti6ed in our pre-
JUDGE against these pestiierous little
creatures, nor in condemnng localities
frequented by them. limited observa-
ton has taught many of us that babies
suffer something more than the mere
local irritation when an insect has stuug
them, and many Of us remember how
generally miserable we have been after
several bites. The conclusions reached,
therefore, can hardly cause us great SUR
prise, and since they add more proof in
favor of open windows and fresh air at
night, most of us will accept them glad
ly.-[ Harper's Bazaar.

1t Fishes While You Rest.

A unique automatic fishing device has
been patented by George Cook, colored,
OF louisville, KY, wach has attracted
some attention. The unique feature
OF his invention is that it can be at
tached to pole as an ordinary reel or
itcon be placed on tripod OF the ground.
Any ordinary line can be used, the
mechanism wound up as a clock, and
the invention will catch the fish without
further attention on the part of the an
eler. When the fish strikes the hook

catch it, pull it in to the shore and ring
q bell to let the angler know that the
