New York Evening Post: An un. usual application has been made to the police board by Patrolman George ". Rogers of the Gates avenue station. Brooklyn, who wants to wear eye glasses. The lids of the policeman's eyes are infamed, and the strong wind affects his eyes greatly. This is new question for the board to decide. Some sergeants, captains and other officers use glasses on desk duty, but no pa. trolman has ever worn them on patrol duty. It is hardly thought that if the policeman got into fight he might be dangerously hurt by his glasses being broken. Rogers has been a policeman t~elve years. The board has referred his esse to the police surgeons, who e.an-ine Rogers and report his a3n&. CD to the board

WISE WoODPEcKERS,
How They Drive worms from the tnsia

of a Tree.
 A Chicago professor who has besa n the Maine woods this summer tells an interesting story of the intelligence of family of woody ee kers which he encountered near tte headwaters of tie Allegash, and which were most uneommonly bright birds. AS every one knows who has observed these birds at all, they feed on the worms which burrow into trees. Any worm with a fair amount of activity can bore a gallery three or four feet long in a tree in single season, so to find his prey the woodpecker has to make sev- tral holes in the tree in order to get at his victim. This particular family of woodpeckers, having some difficulty in getting at tbe worms after they had drilled hole into his gallery, proposed to save themselves unneees- sary work. And what do you think they did? In the Allegash woods grows the Indian poke, a plant with berries possessing an alkaline juice particularly disagreeable to all animal life. And so these Allegash wood- peekers, having made an entrance into the domo II of the borer, proceed next to drop berries of the Indian poke into the opening. And so much does the worm dislike the odor of the poke berries that he comes out to get away from it, and incidentally to see who has had the impertinence to cause him so much discomfort. He never gets any further than the en- trance, because MT. Woodpecker is waiting there, and that worm is goh. bled tip so quickly that he never inows what happened to him. This seems like a good deai of fairy story, doesn't it? But Prof Eastman J. Clarke says. hs saT it with his own eyvs,

LoNDoN'S WATER.
Com pa risons to Show the Volume of
 It's Daily Consumption.

Its Daily Consumption.
 In 1894 the astounding total of I92,- 100000 gallons a. day was reached by the combined water companies If Lon- don, says Good Word This was SUD- piled to the five and half million in- habitants at the rate of, say, thirty two gallons head for all purposes. These figures represent an enj nous volume of water, though small when compared with the mighty river that flows into old Rome. We c I only deal with the figures roughly the SUD- ply f1uatuates to considerable degree at different times i'll the year; it is, therefe e, not possible to be mathemat- ieally accurate Allowing for a slight increase since the last return, and talk ing in other sources, 10 which I shall refer little later. we may pretty safe- ly put the present London water SUD- ply at about 200 600, 900 gallons day. Let Us try for 8 moment to realizs what these figures mean. With 200,- 100000 gallons of water we could fill lake mile long, quarter of mile wide and five feet deep. The water iE 1t would weigh nearly million tons. This lake would stretch from the Bank of Church, yet it would be emptied in a single day to assuage the thirst of London. Or suppose we could freeze Ell this water we could build up great block of ice thousand feet long. 8 thousand feet wide and thirty-two feet high. If we allow for the ex- pansion of freezing, the block would, of course, be still larger. Sixty five of the largest ironclads in the British navy could float in the water we use every day In London. When we come to compare our supply with the mighty torrent of Niagara we belittle it. The water goes laundering ovet the falls at the rate of two million tons a min- ute, or four hundred and twenty mill lion gallons. Our whole daily supply would be whirled over long before the second hand of a watch would have travelled once round the dial. And could we divert tie magnificent tor rent for only three hours we could SUD- ply London with water ,for whole year at the present rate. Niagara is big thing.

THE THEATER IN JAPAN.
The Best Place to Go to Study tin4
 Natives.

Natives.
 The theaters are the very places to study the Japanese. says a Tokio cor many theaters the entire housa is di- yided by rails into square pens four by foul feet, intended for four Japa- nese, but often containing half dozen. The men and women are barefoot, walk the narrow dividing rails to reach their reserved seats The patrons kneel within these square pens, or, when there are no pens, they squat upon the floor in little circular groups and smoke, eat, drink, fan themselves and chatter. Many come in and go out al random; children run to and fro. Frequently the spectators bring lunch con and pass the day within the the ater, the play continuing uninterrupt- edly. The stage, which in some the aters revolyes to change scenes, has two detached projections three feet wide, extending among the audience, Upon these projections the performers run, reciting and acting. Their acting is sufficiently curious. 4 villain slain walks off the stage, Jap mops with a dirty cloth the chief actors face while he is sneaking. The prompter, dressed all in black (ge VII, hood and girdlel. will follow the actor all around the stage Other persons, also in black. run to and fro across the stage. Those eostumed in black are supposed to be invisible. Stage carpenters and help CTS often stand upon the stage and gaze and laugh at the actnrs, and so on. The checking of the umbrellas and wooden shoes of the audience and the general scramble for them after the performance are very amusing.

Tailest Tree in the World.

The tallest tree on earth is believed to be a gum tree in the Cape Otway Range, Aust alia. It is 415 feet high. Gum trees grow very rapidly. One in Florida shot up forty feet in four years, with a stem one foot in diameter; and another, in Guatemala. grew 120 feet in twelve years, with stem nine feet thick. This is at the rate of ten feet a year, or nearly foot per month.

 tOUNT PEOPLE BY MACHINERY Facts About Each Person Will He TabU'
 lated for the Census by Electricity.
 Our first census, made in l795, showed the population of the United States to be 5,000000, and the count cost Uncle Sam, who was eompara- lively poor then, 1 cent for each per- son. It is estimated that the twelfth census, to be made in June, 1900, will show that our people number 75000,- 600, and that the item Of clerk hire in the census bureau alone will exceed e5,000 900. Clifford Howard. writing of How the Next Census Will Be Taken" in the Ladies' Home Journal, says that although the work of enumeration will be completed by the 1st of July, it will probably be two or even three months later before the last of the schedules are received at the census office; for not only must they all be first examined by the supervisors. bat in many cases they will probably re- quire revision because of some error or informality, The actual counting of the people will not be done until the schedules are turned into the cen- sus office. The enumerators simply gather the facts, and the office force in Washington does the counting and the compiling, which is done by electricity. In 100 days all the facts relating to 75.0060o0 people will be tabulated."
