NAMING IT,.

A Ceremony Arranged by Chance En-
 tire1y In Persia and Japan.
 The naming of the child in Persia is made an event of great rejoicing and a time for the gathering of relatives. When the guests are assembled sweet meats are eaten and then the infant in it's swaddling clothes is brought in and laid on the carpet in the center of the room by one of the priests. Five names are written on as many slips of paper and placed between the leaves of the Koran; a chapter is read from this book and then one of the slips is drawn at random. The name on the slip is the one the child has to bear through life, and the priest takes up the slip, pronounees the name in the child's ear and places the piece of pa- per in its clothes. Gifts and congratu lations follow The custom in Japan Is for the parents on the thirteenth day after its birth to take the child to the temple they attend and the father gives three names to the priest, who writes each on piece of paper. These are then shuffied about with certain ineantations and thrown up in the air. The first that falls is the one chosen. This is then written by the priest on a eonseerated piece of paper and given to the child's parents to preserve. The child then receives certain gifts, two of which are important If a boy, two fans are presented: and if a girl, pot of pomade, and in each case packet of flax thread is added, which signi- fies good wishes and a long life.

A cARBoNIc ACID MOTOR.
It's Peculiar Advantages for Use in Au-
 tomobiIes.

Fts Peculiar Advantages for Use in Aus
 tomobiles.
 The latest novelty in automobiles IS one propelled by earbonie acid, the in- vention of c. D. P. Gibson ot Jersey City. Describing the model now in op- eration: Inside the box, toward the rear, is an engine weighing only thir- ty-six pounds, and having cylinders whose diameter is one and seven eighths, with a four-inch stroke. On either side Of it, and reaching length wise in the box, are arranged fasks, or "cartridges." of liquid carbonic acid, coupled to each other and to slender tube that feeds the engine. By means which MT. Gibson does not yet describe, the fluid is vaporized and expanded 1n the cylinders. A working pressure Of from 1000 pounds upward is thus made available. The crank transmits it's mo- tiou by sprocket and chain to the rear axle of the wagon without any inter mediate shaft or gear. The sprocket on the crank shaft has nine teeth, and that on the wagon axle Ca sixteen-lnch sprocket) has twenty-nine. The driv> CTS are thirty-eight4nch wheels. With the simple mechanism here described Mir. Gibson is able to run his wagon up the most astonishing grades. He climbs those appalling hills for which New Jersey is famous, and believes he can go where no gasoline motor can follow. He takes his wagon through deep, dry sand, too, where it would be almost impossible to take any other self-propelled carriage. Without the carbonic acid fiasks and engine the carriage which he showed to a report CT the other day would weigh nearly 400 pounds. The 1asks. contents and engine added about 400 pounds more. Some 500 or 600 pounds of human freight have been put into the wagon on occasions. A total load that is scarcely less than 1.400 pounds has thus been moved up hill and down with the utmost ease.-New York Tribune.

How Glass Arreots Bacteria

The extreme delicacy of many sci. entific processes is indicated b9 the report of Dr. Martin Picker, a Ger. man investigator, that bacteria are af- fected favorably, or otherwise. by the character of the glass containing the water in which they are suspended Marked differences in the behavior of cholera germs were noted, according 10 the kind of glass composing the vessels used. The degree of alkalinitg imparted by the glass to the water is believed to be an important factor in these experiments.

OF HEARINGS AND sAWDUsr.
Asphalt Pavement. May Be Made from

These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- ticially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished Dy Prof. w. c. Day of Swarthmore college, near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington corre- spondent by Prof. Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is singu- Iarly pure species of asphalt and Is now being mined in a large way, the production of 1t constituting an i'm portant industry. The stuff is used for making varnishes. For this purpose 1t is especially good, because varnishes made of 1t will not crack. Censpieu ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, 30 that they can be followed with the eye for miles, Some of this gum asphalt" as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin. at least in part. It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter. Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period, subsequently underwent chemical processes.

A RARE DOLLAR.
Big Lawsuit Over It's Ownership-
 St,500 Offered For It.

The New York Evening Post re> Racine Wis, over the ownership of 6 silver dollar of the coinage date of 1894. It is said that only one of four of these dollars ever left the mint, and they are consequently very valuable The dollar in question was given sev- era1 months ago by woman whose name, if known, is kept secret, to Lad islar Altmann, clerk in the dry goods store of L. T. Hartnett in payment for goods bought The woman did not know that the dollar was worth more than it's face value; in fact, she hesi- tated about using it at all for fear that it was not genuine The clerk, with out knowing how rare the coin was recognized it as an odd piece and put it into his pocket. handing over to the cashier a dollar of his own. For sey- eral months thereafter he carried the fS04 dollar about as pocket piece One day he showed it to a friend at a bank and was informed that it was worth not less than $500. In order to verify this estimate he sent it to a coin buyer in Chicago, who promptly offered $1,500 for it. The clerk still did not sell, having heard that a sim. liar coin had sold for a still larger sum in New York. But, though he did not sell, he talked. and the story reached the ears of MT. Hartnett, his employer. Mir Harnett promptly claimed that the dollar either belonged to the funds of the store or to the woman who had rendered it without knowing it's value. He demanded that 1t be returned and held for the wom- an. If she could not be found he claimed that the coin belonged to him. The clerk claims that he was justified in substituting his dollar for the one paid in, and pertinently calls attention to the fact that had the coin proved a bad one he would have been held re- Rponsible. Both sides have employed attorneys and a lawsuit seems in- evita ble.

A h extraordinary case of madness, n which all members of family, con- sisting or father, mother and four chil- 1ren, were simultaneously afflicted, has occurred at Stavelot. A party of stroll ing gypsies, who undertook to tell the fathers fortune by means of cards, declared that he would be killed while serving in the army, and this predic- siou so impressed him and his family that in the course of the same day they all developed signs of wayering reason. and before long had to be put under restraint. The gypsies, who were the source of the trouble, were arrested by the German police while crossing the frontier from Belgium

Fauna of Africa
 With reference to the international action which the government has in view for the preservation of the big fauna of Africa, I have had the oppor- tunity of hearing the opinion of one of the greatest living authorities on the tubject This individual has passed the greater part of his life in the dis tricts of Africa affected by the legisla- ton in force and prospective for pro- hibitfng the killing of big game. He as- sures me that all the laws In operation fail to achieve the purpose in view in the localities where the natives are al- lowed to carry guns. Tn British East Africa, where the whites are strictly forbidden to shoot big game without authority. the natives are allowed to kill indiscriminately and without check everything they come across h Mashonaland and Matabeleland. on the other hand, since the disarmament of the natives there has been percep- tible increase in certain species. and this increase is likely to gradually be- come more marked as time goes on and the regulations are enforced. Antelope of different kinds have lately been seen in the neighborhood of Buluwayo. which it had been thought had com- pletely disappeared from the country, and there is reason to believe that in Rhodesia the danger of extinction of many of the species, which at one time was raal had hnen ehapkad if mt aI4o- gether averted.-Birmingha Post.

Peculiar Crime.

Eseroquerie is a crime which has no distinct counterpart in any country but France. An English lady was re- gently sentenced to twelve months im- prisonment for ordering a costume that she was not able to pay for, and an English governess was sentenced to six weeks Imprisonment for taking a cab without being able to pay the fare. The French are eminently practical people, and see no great difference be- tween running off with an article and getting it without paying for it. It often happens that the English fall un- der the law with regard to escroquerie

MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. Sat a
meeting Of the cotton spinners here it
was decided, practically unanimously,
not to purchase American spot cotton
during the month Of September. Four
fifths Of the employers in the trade
were represented. 1t is anticipated
that the decision will lead to the clo-
sure OF mills for several weeks.
Only three manufacturers opposed
the resolution and their objection was
that it was not strong enough and that
it should bind the trade to stop the
consumption of cotton and not merely
to stop purchasing it.
The meeting was private, but it was
ascertained that during the discussion
there was sharp criticism Of the Liver
pool spectators, who, it was declared
made the crisis worse by gambling.
Eventually the meeting adjourned
until Sept. 2i, when the situation vii
again be considered.
