A story of Anthony Hope.

When Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins
visited America in 1897 he had to go
through much interviewing. On one
occasion about twenty reporters gath
cred around him in his managers office
near Union Square, in New York. The
novelist, shy, reticent and almost bash
full, sat at the center table, while the
neWsmen stood around him, and the
spokesman asked him all manner of
questions, first of ALL of course, how he
liked America. AS Mr.. Hawkins had
only been in America four brief hours,
he was unable to express any opinion
of value upon the subject. Then came
in quick succession inquiries as to 9th
er authors and their relative merits.
Probably the question which was the
hardest to answer was an important
one, propounded by self-authorized
interrogation. It was; Mr.. Hawkins,
what in your opinion Is your greatest
work?" 1T never has been written.
sir. was the reply of the Engfshman.
And then deep silence fell upon the
group.-M. A. P.

An Int, resting Story of the Kindness of

Some years ago a conspiracy, headed
by several prominent young men of the
Santo Domingo republic, who hoped to

death of HeureauX, attempted to take
his life and start a revolution. Their
plot was cleyerly planned and SEEM
kfgly sure OF success, for the president
showed no suspicious, continuing his
customary mode of lie walking and
driving throughout the city as usual
without guards, although at that time
he was fully posted in every detail OF
their scheme, and when their plans
were fully matured and their time foI
action at hand he had them all arrest.

QUEER FOSSIL.
jaw OF Huge Unclas sified Animal
Found in New Mexico.
Animal


Santa Fe New Mexican: The fossil
remains of a strange prehistoric animal
were discovered recently at Postmaster
Nusbaum's ranch, at Teseuque. Al
phonso Doekweiler, who has charge OF
digging ditch through ridge on the
ranch, picked up a piece of petr1hed
bone the shape of large tongue, but
with a row of twelve teeth along what
seemed to be the tip OF the tongue. lie
dug a little further and found the re-
mainder of what seemed to be the jaw
q an animal that was part ichthy osau-
rus and part plesiosaurus, with some OF
the characteristics of the pterodactyI.
perhaps. The jaw consisted of about
twenty layers of bone il the shape OF
tongue, and each layer was armed with
a dozen teeth, which showed that the
animal was hefbivorous and not car
nixerous. These twenty layers were
evidently the upper jaw of the animal.
Mr. Dockweiler expects to find the low
Pr jaw and perhaps all Of the remains
OF the strange animal AS much as be
has found he will bring to this city
and from here ship it to the Smithson-
ian institution in Washington. Two
layers of the jaw were brought to the
city by ]. G. SchumanG and shown to
friends, who were all puzzled by their
unusual shape It is well known that
the surroundings Of Santa Fe abound
with submarine fossil remains, which
seem to prove that in long gone=by
ages the site Of the city was covered
by a sea. Only half mile up the ar
royo and canyon that branch off Pal
ace avenue near the old brewery, pref
ty petri1ed seashells are to be found
At many other places there are unmis-
taxable signs of the erosion of the
waves and footprints of gigantic pre-
historic amphibians, who made their
home both in the water and on the
land in the days when the highest
peaks of the Rocky mountain range
were only islands in vast ocean.

THE PEREUMED WOMAN.

Genuine Femininity.

Washington Post, that the advertising
ends of this months magazines are
publishing testimonial as to the mer-
its of a certain rand of toilet soap,
written by one Of the ladies who has
been doing her little bit during the
last half century toward securing the
franchise for woman. Her picture IS
run in with the ad and her testimonial
is surely a heap fulsome for velun-
.ary contribution. In the course OF
her remarks she says, I abhor a per-
fumed woman 1t is to take short,

you. has something about her that
makes you vaguely remember the old
honeysuckle covered porch that you
knew a quarter of century ago; who
carries with her the suggestion aol

It isn't particularly because OF the
elusive, hop-smoky, garden-of-Daphne

daintily emits that | think she's the

It's because she's feminine that she's

awhile she gets her work done early
SO she can go upstairs and have a
good cry It's because she crushes US
into pulp with her because; it's be-

she'll begin to purse her lips for baby
talk when she sees an infant block
away: it's because she loves roses and
lacey things and only 81 pound
candy; it's because she gives us the
reproachful eye when we ought to be

Accomplished a linguistic Feat.

DR. Weldon, the new bishop of Cal
cutta, has accomplished linguistic
feat. Six months after his arrival he
took fun confirmation service in the
Bengal dialect at Ranaghat, il the
diocese Of Calcutta. There are many
in the episeopacy who take UP the
study Of the Indian tongues but
threw them UP in despair. Bishop
Weldon, however, persevered. and gai
on so well that, besides the service
named, he has already given a sermon
in the Bengal vernacular, which is
the one mostly spoken in the Calcutta
diocese.

How tho Fillpinos Bury Their Dead.

A Manila correspondent of an Amer
lean newspaper says that the Filiptnos
do not bury their dead under ground,
but in tiers of masonry. In Manila,
Pace cemetery is the most important
place of burial. The high walls of
masonry in which are the long vaults,
each the size for one body, are built
in circles, one within the other, with
walk between. AS the coffin is thrust
In the vault the mourners rend the air
with their walls, but they stand by
quietly while it is sealed with bricks
and mortar; when the final creYice
had been filled they quietly dispense.
These vaults are hired, not bought, OF
the church, and when the rent Is not
forthcoming the body is torn out, nc
matter in what state of preservation,
and the vault rented to some one else
who can afford to pay..Tbe bones thus
desecrated are thrown in heap in
place prepared for the purpose, where
there is a large and gruesome collec-
tor.

GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Austrian Finds Subtle Matter Which
lie calls .Electroid."


Francis Rychnowski, mechanical
engineer of Lemberg, Austria, has dis
covered strange and very subtle
matter, which he called "electroid' be-
cause of a certain affinity with cleo
trieity. Electroid, produced by a !pe-
eial apparatus built by the inventor,
Is obtained by the dissolution Of GER
tain matters under the influence OF
the electric current. It makes noise,
and at The same time a refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery induced Mr.. RYehnow-
ski to make machine capable OF re-
freshing the air to such a degree that
those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case.
Electroid is a very subtle matter, but
it seems to be a fluid, and it can be
gathered and preserved. While falling
ON plate it reflects in a shape OF
shining sheaves. The commission APP
pointed by the Austrian government
to investigate this discovery reported
that under the influence Of eleetroid
plants grow rapidly and the buds o.
flowers unclose while one is looking at
them. Electroid annlhnates microbes
and thus preserves organic matter.
These are physiological influences Of
eiectroid. Among mechanical phe-
nomena the commission reported that
the influence of electroid is not
stopped even by a brick wall and
glass; that it attracts solid bodies and
makes them shine like moonlight
makes them move and attract othei
bodies; finally, that it acts on photo
graphic plates ana produces sharp and
distinct lines, such as were formerly
possible only with a very powerful
lens.
