Knew His Nickname.

1t was said Of the late Prof. Lincoln,
| Of Brown University, that nothing
made greater impression on those
who knew him than his tremendous
earnestness. One of his former pupils
says that no other professor of his day
| talked so little in the classroom, and
no other secured such perfect order and
| decorum.
In his presence the most volatile be-
| came temporarily sedate. Work began
| at the first moment Of the recitation
| hour, and lasted to the closing one But
nobody fancied that Prof. Lincoln, with
! all his gravity, was devoid of sense of
| humor.
IN. Tu1l Cicero began a student to
| translate one day.
IN. Tull.! M. Tull.v exclaimed the
| professor. 'Why not give the gentle
man the whole Of his name?" And
| without moving muscle of his face,
| he demanded. How should like to be
called Line"
This was little too much for even
the hushed atmosphere Of the Latin
| room, and brought down the house.
Nine out Of ten of the boys never called
| him anything else but Line, and he
knew it, too, and no doubt did not dis
like it, for it was term of positive en-
| dearment.
! But for the student who habitually
neglected his work Prof. Lincoln had
no mercy; such student might expect
to be Internationally annihilated by a
few clearly cut sentences.-Youth's
| Companion.

Notwithstanding the notable example
of the gentleman of Oregon who gave
away his wife and threw in four acres
of onions for good measure, it does not
follow that wives and onions neces-
sarily go together. A later instance is
reported from New York, where wife
put onions in the soup, and is now in
the hospital suffering from severe
confusion made by heavy plate
hurled by the indignant partner of her
joys and sorrows. And this suggests
the reflection that many domestic trag-
edies are inspired by the thoughtless-
ness of women in their culinary af
fairs. The ladies never weary Of as
sorting that the way to mans affec-
tons Is through his stomach, and this
is measurably and grandly true. But
since it is so widely known it does seem
a little strange that women will per-
sistently take chances where there are
no chances, ignoring the delicate and
subtle means of continued good cheer
and happiness. We have been much
surprised that the women's clubs, and
especially the household departments,
have not given more time to this
branch of domestic felicity, pointing
out in special meetings the advantages
which accrue from diplomatic avoid
ance Of instruments Of wrath, such as
highly favored onions, garlic, red pep
per, chilli sauce and tobasco assuming
the conjugal aversion. While no true
gentleman will break plate over his
wife's head it is unnecessary even to
give him provocation for the deed, and
it appears to us the duty of the wom-
ems clubs to urge little more fem
mime care and thoughtfulness.

SOUND PICTURES.

How One May Make "Photograph"
of His Own Voice.
To take a picture Of your voice 1t is
only necessary to tie a sheet Of thin
strong paper over the fiaring end of an
old tin horn. Hold the horn with the
sheet of paper upward. Take a little
pinch Of fine sand and place it in the
center of the paper. Then hold the
horn vertically above your face and
sing u note into the lower end Of tie
instrument. Do not blow, but sing the
note. \
Now lower the horn carefully ana
look at the sand. You will find that
the vibrations of your voice have scat,
tered the pinch of sand into a beautiful
sound picture. Every note in the musl
cal scale will produce a different pic
ture, so you may produce great varl-
ETY. Of them.
Some Of these pictures look like pan
sizes, roses and other flowers some IKE
snakes, and others like flying blrdS'

A MONSTER FOSSIL.
Discovery in Wyoming of Dinosaur
that Was 100 Feet Long.

Discovery in Wyoming of Dinosaur
that Was $50 Feet Long.
Wyoming is writing a strange chap
ter in the worlds geological history.
The big sagebrush Commonwealth Is
scoring a record-breaker in fossil for
nations by unearthing the petrified
bones of the most colossal animal ever
taken from the earth's strata. This
stone monster was a dweller In the
Jurassic age-a dinosaur, measuring
nearly 100 feet in length and being per-
haps 35 feet in height at the hips and
25 feet at the shoulders-an animal so
terrible in size that it's petrified skele-
ton alone is believed to weigh more
than 10000 pounds.
Assistant Professor W. H. Reed, Of
the department Of geology in Wyo-
ming State University, Is it's discov-
erer. He made the great find while
prospecting for fossils ninety miles
northwest of Laramie last August; and
since that time the geological depart
ment of the university has been secret
" at work in it's restoration. So vast
is the skeleton of the animal that it's
smallest bone yet found is more than a
man can lift, and, with men in the field
constantly at work, it is believed that
many months may be required before
the monster can be placed on the cam
pus at Laramie.
Conjecturing as to the probable APP
pearance in life Of the creature, Prof.
Reed says:
can accurate idea of living dino
saur is practically out of the question.
According to my opinion, l should say
that the animal now being brought to
light would weigh in life about 60
tons, that he had a neck 80 feet in
length, and a tail perhaps 60 feet in
length. His ribs are about 8 feet in
length, and the cavity Of his body,
with lungs and entrails out, would
make hall "a feet in length, Is feet in
width, and, arched over, probably II
feet in height. Such space, if proper
~ arranged, would seat at least 40 peo-
pie A round steak taken from ham
of the animal would have been at least

To horseless carriages and smokeless
powder add chimneyless factories as
the newest in nomenclature Hereto
fore 1t has been necessary in order to
secure plenty of draft for furnace to
build an immensely tall chimney. Now
it is found that instead of pulling the
draft by Il chimney you can push it
from below with fan. A plant run
ming three boilers of go horse power
tried this experiment with fan whose
wheel had diameter of tifty-four inch
es. The draft was so much bettered
that the firm saved nearly 81 900 year
by using cheaper grade of coal.

II feet in diameter, or more than 30
feet in circumference, and would have
q solid bone in the middle, 12x14 inch
es, with no hollow for marrow. A set
of tours in cavalry could easily have
ridden abreast between his front and
hind legs, provided he had not object
ed. Every time he put his foot down
1t covered more than square yard Of
ground, and must have fairly shaken
the earth. The smallness of the head
of this animal is peculiar thing. I
should say that the head of this mighty
dinesaur was probably not larger than
. ten-gallon keg. He must have been

One Of the most valuable of recent
naval criticisms called out by the Span
ish-American war is made in an article
in a German technical magazine by
Rear Admiral Pluddeman, of the Ger
man navy. The German admiral says
the war will lead to no radical revOlu-
ton of present naval ideas, but that it
will enrich former experience, by way
of Illustration. The naval operations
of the war he discusses under five
heads-the personnel, the construction
and equipment of ships, the artillery,
the torpedo, the ram and speed. AS
to both the torpedo and the ram, he
SAYS the war has left us practically
where we were when it began, as their
efficiency cannot be said to have been
fairly tested. The superiority Of Amer
lean guns and gunners is willingly rec
ognized, but the German admiral says
but few of the shots were exploded,
and that the making of the fuse has
evidently not yet reached perfection
in America. In the naval battle of
Santiago he says the American vessels
made but 1853 hits for ITO guns, and
that of these the 13-inch and the
12-inch guns did not score single hit.
Explosion Of a shell killed the entire
crew of the OQuendo, but in the opin-
ion of this naval expert this would not
have happened if the turret had had no
roof. The German critic agrees with
most others that the greatest execution
was wrought by the 6-pounders, and
the fact that only four American guns
were in need Of repairs at the end Of
the war speaks we'll for the durability
Of the artillery.

One of the most original music rooms
in the country is in Yonkers, New York.

when the organ is played there is in

FEMALE -"SUFFRAGE."-In coun'
try town in Florida recently there was
an examination for applicants for sec
ond grade teachers certificates in q
colored school. One of the questions
asked for brief expression OF the ap.
plicant's opinion of "female suffrage"
A young colored woman filed her blank
with an essay on "Female Suffrage. 1t
begins, SIN regard to female suffrage
there are thousands of women who suf-
fer early and also daily, and am com.
PEELED to say that the greater part OF
their suffrage is brought on by them
selves"
The writer then specifies the various
causes of female suffrage" Women
eat too rapidly, have their meals too
irregularly, expose themselves too
much, do not have proper exercise or
clothing. "Any one of these will bring
about female SUFFRAGE" She also
thinks they would be stronger if they
regarded the laws of health. "Thelr
treatment to the physical body only
goes to show to them that they are
doing too much if they would only
hear" And finally, "Another great
cause of female suffrage is trying to
keep up with every new style or fash
ion that comes about, whether it agrees
with our health or not, and THAT is,
indeed, poor way to take care of the
health" h."-Chicago Tribune.
