The door of big safe in the Ken
tucky state treasurer's office became
jammed in some way and several skilled
mechanics vainly tried for days to open
it. Then a messenger was sent to the
penitentiary and came back with a
gentleman whose ability to open safes
had procured him board and lodging at
the states expense for a heightened
period. In just two minutes the door
stood open and the successful expert
was allowed to grin at the mechanics

Judge Finn of the first municipal
court, New York, is one of the coolest
poker players on Manhattan Island.
A case was before him the other day
in which the defendant refused to pay
a poker debt of $92. The Judge asked
what poker was, and five lawyers,
with all of whom he has often played,
diffidently opined that it was played
with cards. "Is it game OF chance? ?''
inquired the court. THAT depends
altogether on how good a player the
other fellow is" answered one of the
lawyers, mildly. After much consul
tation the court gave a verdict for
plaintiff.

M. Z. Rayne. who discusses many
facts in connection with the Chinese
that are of inter
est just at present,
thinks the Chinese
Sunday school should go, and in the
Chicago Times-Herald tells why:
1.-THE Chinese Sunday school class in
American churches will probably be
abolished-it should never have been
instituted. The youngest and pretti-
est or most charming of American So
ciety girls were the instructors, and
each Chinaman must have a teacher
to himself. He made handsome pres
ents to his instructor, fell in love
promptly and bestowed his attentions
until father or brother interfered and
stopped further demonstration. Their
educat tion proceeded as far as reading
a verse from the Bible in an unknown
dialect. After Sunday school they fin
ished the day playing poker-they
were heathens. A lady who had seen
one of the celestials in gorgeous
clothes at the c Street church called
at his laundry to have him send to her
hotel for the weekly wash, when this
dialogue ensued: You stlanger?''
yes" Then bling pliceman-he
know you-me not"

watch Digestion with the Z Rays

[Appieton's Popular Science Monthly
The use of the fuorescent screen has
been greatly extended DR.. Francis H
Williams of Boston has used it as a
valuable instrument in medical diagnO-
sis, especially in studying lung diseases.
It has been used at the Harvard Med
zeal school to follow the processes of
digestion. To accomplish this, in one
instance a goose was fed with food
mixed with subnitrate Of bismuth, a
salt which absorbs x rays.
The passage of the dark mass down
the long neck Of the bird could be
traced on the fiuorescent screen, and
the peculiarities of its motion in
the gullet could be studied A cat was
also fed with the same substance, and
the movements Of its stomach noted.
These movements were analogous to
those of the hearth other words,
were rhythmicaI when the processes of
digestion were going on normally and
uninterruptedly. When. however, the
cat was irritated, it may be by the
sight Of a dog, those pulsations instant
" ceased AS soon as the source of
vexation was removed and the purriag
Of the animal showed a contented frame
of mind. the stomach resumed its
rhythmicaI movements The depend
ence Of the digestive apparatus on the
state Of the nervous system was thus
clearly shown The female cat was
much more tractable under these ex-
periments than the male.
