COULDN'T MAKE THE CHANGE.
North Side woman's Embarrassing Ex.

North Side woman's Embarrassing Ex-
perience In IA Cnrrette.
She was a woman with KNOWLEDGE
of arithmetic. which consisted mainly
Of a remembrance of the multiplication
tables and the simple process Of addl-
tion, subtraction and multiplication.
accompanied with the aid of a pencil
and paper. She had always openly
confessed that figures were beyond her
capacity. She never added her own
card scores, and always trusted to her
husband to straighten the tangled
problems of the monthly meat bill So.
when the necessity occurred for max
ing change in the carette she began to
be visibly nervous. In the first place
she had nothing smaller herself than a
50-cent piece, which she passed through
the little hole to the driver. and was
just opening the small envelope con
taining her change when a lady nearer
the door asked her 10 change 10 cents
for her. The carette was very well
filled. and of course. every eye was
upon her. or else she felt 1t. and so
her nervousness Increased. She opened
her own packet first. holding the addi-
tional ten cents in her hand. She spied
5 cents. which she hurriedly dropped
into the money receptacle with a little
sigh of relief that at least her fare
was paid. Then she passed the second
and only remaining nickel to the wait
ing passenger with a second little sigh
of happy consciousness that anyway
she owed no one anything Then, with
a gasp, sne remembered that she had
not paid the addltional fare. although
she had accepted the additional money.
Hurriedly she looked at her change to
discover an interesting collection OF
dimes without a single break in the
silver monotony She looked up and
found the passengers smiling at her
predicament and. though the color
rose in her face. she laughed herself
when the driver in return for her timld
knock requesting change for a single
additional dime, tersely ventured.
why didn't you put the 10 cents in
the box in the first placer" But she
never will ride on the carette again
without the exact amount of the nee
essary fare, and she never will accom-
modate beseeching s.rangers.-Chica-
go Chronicle.

Are Gradually crowdine Out the Natives
VIII Own tho Country Sometime.
DIR. Nathan Samollovitch MorguIies.
n professor OF the Hebrew language
who has just returned TO Moscow from
Jerusalem. says that the Hebrew col
onizatlon OF tie Holy Land Is rapidly
on the Increase. especially In the towns
of Sefeda, Tiberia ana Jaifa and the
region round about. where already
there are 20O,Oo0 Jewish colonists.
In fifty years said pr. Morgulics.
Palestine will bc settled throughout
by Hebrews. They are already push
ing out the native tribes. the Arabs and
Syrians, who are leaving hastily and
for good. Most of the Hebrew colon
lists belong to ancient Spanish ana
Portuguese strains. known MS Sefar,lin-
hans; to the Russian. German and Hun
gartan branches, called Ashkeenasinns,
and TO the Afghan. Algerian. runisian,
Bokharan, Persian and Moroccan
branches, grouped under the Nachafar
ians. All these emigrants have been
assisted more or less by the muniiicent
Hirsch fund of 24,OOO.OOO francs lS4,
s00000l and the Rothschlld coloniza-
tion fund OF iU.uOO,OOO francs tSSUOo,
000).
These colonists. although cosmopol-
itan as TO country and origin. are
strongly united by their faith and are
anxious to secure the restoration Of
Judea. They are happier and for the
most part wcalthier than the average
European Hebrew, especially those
who still llnger. oppressed in Russia
and other Slavonic countries. l nm
sure that Palestine by the year 1850
will have become an Independent state,
but of course not the kingdom OF which
some utopian Zionists dream. ! oh
served during my foity-iive days trav-
els and from my interviews with the
I leading colonlsts that they desire to
see In the new Palestine "A great He
brew commonwealth, under the pro
L lection of the most tolerant Of the first
class powers of Europe, The espc-
cially except Russia and Turkey.
''Such king of Zion as some OF the
Zionists talk about never would be
able to unite and govern the thou
sands of Jews in Palestine with their

with the Eve. Of min.

Some idea of amateur photography
as It was in its early days may be
gathered from an incident which the
late Bishop Walsham How conhded 10
his note book Before he became a
bishop he used to call together the
old men of the parish on New Years
day. and on one occasion he displayed
to his guests a photograph Of two old
men who had long worked at the rec
tory. They were Photographic N
their working clothes. one with a
spade and the other holding a little
tree as If about to plant it. 4 very
deaf old man, Richard Jones, took the
photograph in his hands. and looking
at IL said: Beautiful, Beautiful!
So the rector shouted: Who arc they.
Richard?" why" he said, Its
Abraham offering up Isaac to be sac
rificed," The rector tried to undecelvc
him. and as the old men who had been
photographed were sitting opposite
him. he said: You'll see them before
YOU II you'll look up" Richard
smiled serenely but all he said was;

Model. Of war.hlp. pnmarea.

Eleven of the valuable models OF
American warships have been injured
during their transportation from New
York to Havre on the auxiliary cruiser
Prairie. The models were inclossd In
glass cases which were packed in
wooden boxes and slowed In the hold.
During the voyage the rolling and
pitching Of the ship caused them to
shift, with the result that the glass
was broken and this in turn broke and
scratched the models. cutting their
rigging and otherwise injuring them.
The model OF the Olympia suffered the
greatest damage. II was thought at
first that II would be necessary to have
worl;men sent from the Washington
navy yard to repair the miniature
vessels, but the French government
offered Assistant Naval Constructor
Gilmore facilities for doing this work
at the shipyard at Cherbourg. which
proposition was arcecied. II is prob
able that the repairs will be OF tenn
porary character.

More Asou, Electric FISHES.

Prof. Gotch has given some remark
able details concerning the electric
fish OF the Nile. The electric battery
by which this remarkable little fsh
produces such extraordinary shocks is
unequaled in nature. The total cleo
tro-motive force OF the whole organ in
the fish, which is only eight inches
long, can reach the surprising mani
mum of 200 volts. The initial shcck
is due to the simultaneous develop
ment of perfectly similar electro-mo-
tive changes in each of the 1000, 900
disks of which the organ IL composed.
The organ is situated in the skin, in
closing the whole body in microscopic
sections. Each organ consists of rows
OF compartments. and each compart-
ment has stretched across 1t a peculiar
protoplasmic leaf-shaped disk Nerves
enter each compartment and end in
the stalk of each disk. BY these nerves
travel the impulses that create the
electro-motive charges which consti-
tute the shock The shock Is an in
tense current traversing the whole or
gan from head to tall and returning
through the surroundings; 1t stuns
small fish in the neighborhood and
can be felt by man when the hand is
placed near the fish as a smart shock
reaching to the shoulders.

Davis. who says be "wanders." told
this to Justice Kersten at the East
Chicago avenue police court "It is
not music; it is noise" was ohicer
Paul's criticism. What Davis thought
was music and what Paul thought was
noise was given to the world from the
top Of barrel in Wells street Sunday
night. Davis had stood on the barrel
and played his mouth-organ till the
policeman arrested him. He split up
his music with vocal selections. They
were little worse than the mouth
organ. They could not have been
much worse" said the officer, and
Davis grew Indignant. This big man
with the star had not so much soul
for music as a 10-year-old boy. To
have him criticise my music is the
hardest blow have had to suffer-
Davis drew the mouth-organ from a
chamols-skin case and asked for per-
mission to play for Justice Kersten.
"I'll prove am good player" he
announced. Not In this court" said
the Justice. TN discharge you II

ment to some other precinct" And
