A CURIOUS MINERAL.
COnsid erable Attention Attracted tn
Moldavite Among Geo1ogists of
Austria and bohemia

Acurious mineral called moldavite, or
bouteillenstein,h has attracted consider
able attention among the geologists
in Austria and Bohemia The mineral
is in CLASSY ovals from an inch to an
inch and a half long, and is character
lied by various markings, which look
somewhat like finger impressions,
while others form a network of fur
rows, which seem in part a rough
radlal arrangement.
They have been regarde,. by some
authors as relics of prehistoric glass
manufacture, but this view does not
appear to have been sustained, accord
ing to the Scientific American. DR..
Suess. the Austrian geologist, finds
resembiances between them and me-
teorites, and the general disposition
of students seems to be to regard
them as of eXtra-terrestrial origin,
Resemblances have been pointed out
between them and the obsidian vol
canic bombs found in Australia. In
Bohemia the moldavites occur in
sandy deposits, which are assigned to
the late tertiary or early diluvial pc

BOUGHT HER OWN RING.
Young Woman Got an Engagument
Circlet That Certainly Ought
to Have Suited Her.

1t occasionally happens that the
ring a girl receives as an engagement
token is far from suitable to her ideas
OF what such a thing should be. One
young woman, however. will have no
one to blame but herself if the ring
she wears is not satisfactory, for she
bought it herself. Her tance lived in
small southern town. where there
is not the wide variety of diamond
rings from which to select that one
finds in Il city; therefore. it was de-
clded that when the young woman
came north she should choose her
own ring.
And she did. She brought with her
goodly sum of money-her tiance's
money. of course-and when she
reached Chicago she repaired in haste
to one Of the big shops and with
much care selected a solitaire that
suited her, says the Chicago Chron-
icle
None of the clerks guessed. of
course. that the girl with the flushed
cheeks was buying the circlet that
was to seal her engagement, but
she was and she paid for it in a busi-
ness-like way, secured receipt and
left the shop smiling, and probably
better satisfied with the bit of jewelry
than she would have been if her af-
flanced had bought it himself.

FINLAND's STAMPS VANISH.
Amusing Method to Which the Stub
born Films Have Resorted to
Keep Them Current.

Finland is no longer a member of the
international postal union, as by an
imperial Russian ,ukase the Finnish
postage stamp is Withdrawn from use,
and the Russian postage stamp substi-
tuted. While the Finnish postage
stamp until few weeks ago had no
value in the eyes of stamp collectors,
it has now at one jump reached to
the head of the list, and will proba bly,
be the most valuable in the stamp col
lector's albums. The Firms are of
course furious against Russia for this
additional demonstration of the Bear
to bot their country off the map of
the world.
But the Firms are by nature stub
born people, and the method they
adopted to still compel the Russian au-
thorities to forward letters with the
Finnish postage stamp is amusing.
Their correspondence they inclosed in
an ordinary envelope. on which they
placed the Finnish postage stamp in
the usual corner. This envelope was
then ;nc.osed in a thin Transparent
envelope, plainly showing the Finnish
stamp. The. outside envelope was then
properly. addressed and provided with
a Russian postage stamp placed by the
side of the Finnish. Sosfars no notice
has been taken BY the Russian govern
ment of this amusing method.

PUZZLED ABOUT DESCENT.
l'roblem That Is Distracting IN Eng
lish Student of Genealogy-
A Subtle Fallacy

Here, is a little genealogical prob
lem which perhaps some of the read
ers can solve. A man writes to the
Liverpool Post saying: Il have, like
the rest of human beings. two par
ents. They in turn had each two.
These four grandparents had each
two, and so on. Now, if we take on
an average four. generations to a. CEN
tury, 33 generations have passed awav
since the time of William the Con-
queror, and by the simple process of
multiplying two by itself 33 times I
find that at the date of the Norman
conquest l must have had S,5s9, ,934. .5s2
ancestors of that generation. But
this is eight or nine times the total
population of the globe at the pres
ent day, and must be fully 30 or 40
times. the total number of human be-
ings living in the eleventh century,
so that there must be fallacy in nv
calculation somewhere. Can ANYBODY

FOUNDED BY A FOUNDING.
Large Business Enterprise of Lon
don Which Had a Very Ro-
mantle Origin.

Very curious and romantic are the
circumstances under which certain
Hourlshing city enterprises have been
founded. For instance, says the Lon
don NJ. \. p. there stands in the heart
OF Cheapside a noble pile of buildings,
occupied by a firm whose name is a
household word throughout the king
dom. The founder of that business was
mystericusly dropped on the doorstep
of city church and sent by the au-
thorities to the Founding hospital,
where he was named after the church
in question. He was afterward intrust-
ed to respectable woman, who un-
dertook to bring him up with her own
family.
Soon after this inquiries were made
atthe= Founding hospital bout the boy
by young and beautiful. lady, whose
name and rank-she was evidently CT
aristocratic origin-remained shroud-
ed in mystery. A solicitor was u:ti-
mately instructed to pay the boys fos.
ter-mother certain sum monthly.
This continued until he arrived at the
age of about IA, when he was taken
away,> put to a good school and finally
started in life. Plucky and pushing,
he developed his business until it be-
came one of the finest of it's class in
the city. He died wealthy man. with
out having penetrated the mystery OF
his birth.

PENSIONS FOR TEA TASTERs.

Useful Class Of Men-A ss
Novel Pr0position.

theEyery~no y~noyef-proposition being
made made that the government put super
animated tea buyers on the pension
list, says a london correspond It
IS well " ELL known that tea is the. chief
beverage Of all classes in the United
Kingdom and the fact that the Eng
1ish people get the best tea in, the
world I'D. is largely due to- care exercised
by the buyers or ''tasters,'' as they
are sometimes called. Their health
is often ruined by their occupation,
as the tea acts as a drug that in the
course Of a few years ruins their
nervous nles1.''c1. system and they become
hopeless mental and physical wrecks.
The proposition has been made that
the dealers who employ the men pay
the pensions, but they are not dis
posed to undertake the contract and
ask the government to step in. This
may be done, although there is a
general feeling, that the people gen
orally should not be taxed for such a
purpose. 49, sss.! r. .':..y." s:->yi.
Some of the more liberal of the, tea
merchants, however, have engaged to
care for their old and faithful buyers.
One firm claims to have 1000 pension
ers on its list: another has about 500.
These are exceptions to the rule, as
the majority of firms turn their tast-
'ers Off as soon as the days of their
! usefulness are over. One of the firms
interested suggests the formation of
a benefit society composed altogether
of tea. tasters, but this meets with lit
tie favor, as the men themselves usual
ly spend all their salaries as they go
| along and could not pay the dues that
would be required. The life, of the
tea faster at best is not an enviable
one and there-i is general feeling that
something should be done for their
maintenance after they have become

SWISS NATIONAL INSURANCE,
Report Giving Some Interesting Facts
About Proposed Law That
Was Recently Defeated

In report to the state department
Consul General Dubois. at St. Gall
gives some interesting facts about the
proposed Swiss accident and military
insurance law, says the Washington
Post. This law, which was recently
defeated by a two-thirds vote, pre-
scribes obligatory insurance in cases
OF sickness and accident. The govern
ment's share of the expense of the
entire premium of the insurance was
to be 2r per cent, the labor 20 per
cent. while the employers of labor
were to bear 60 per cent. The text
OF the proposed law contained 400 ar
tir'eS. among which was the military
insurance clause, which met consider
able opposition by the military class
es. Ihe project was defeated this
time by $4,000 votes. Glarus was the
only province out of the % cantons
which gave majority in favor of the
proposition. There are various causes
which helped to defeat this measure.
In agricultural districts 1t was con-
sldered to be Of advantage to the in
Gustrial centers. Great dissatisfac-
ton was shown by the people aged
in house Industries, because the law
was made compulsory for some and
optional for others. Strong opposi-

manufacturers. especially those of the

the lransvaal war mas answered your

OF themselves. They represent, un-
doubtedly, the pick of our fighting

amongst them had smelt powder;
probably very few had been out of
England before in their lives. And
yet war breaks out 5000 miles away
and you find men tumbhng over each

Of soldering. You COULD never OBJ

There is not another nation in the
world in which you can find quarter

HELEN KELLER is A MARVEL.
Denf, Dumb and Blind, Yet She Gains
Thorough EducatiOn-Her
Student Life.

Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and
blind girl, has overcome tremendous
obstacles and is now progressing well
as student at Radcliffe, says an ex-
change. -:.S.-
The bulk of her preparation for
college was accomplished under Ar
thur Gilman's instruction, aided bv
Miss Sullivan, for several years her
teacher. By the employment of sew
eral ingenious instruments she mas
tered geometry and algebra, while
with raised letter books she has Sc
cured grasp on English. Latin and
Greek. Her examination papers were
in the Braille raised point system and
the answers she wrote on type-
writer, in the use of which she is an.
expert. Besides passing in all the
required subjects, Miss Keller has
entered Radcliffe with freshman Eng
lish and advanced Frenc.. to the good.
At the lectures Helen is invariably
accompanied by Miss Sullivan, who
sits close beside her and gives her. in
the manual language, whatever the
Instructor may be saying. The fne-
ness of her soul and the exquisite ma
ture of her thoughts are evidenced
by the essays written during her
preparation. S,.., <8. sss ,sfz
For all Helen Keller's remarkable
intellectually she is, in the main, just
a pleasant, normal girl. She rides a
tandem, sews, crochets, embroiders,
and, most marvellous of all, plays a
capital game of chess. She is with
out doubt the most wonderful college
girl the world has yet seen.
