The Woman and the Match.

Loren F. Merrill of Paris tells the
story of the particular old woman. and
he makes her resident of Livermore.
Sheawas not only old, but she was of the

She had fretted away her friends and
relatives. until she was at length living
alone in a small house in the outskirts
of the town. Just as she was retiring
one bitter cold night she discovered that
but one unliehted match remained in
the house She lay awake until almost

The latest expedition has been the

Of Abruzzis highest point. This does
not seem to be great advance, but it
IS distinct achievement and brings
the pole twenty miles nearer than ever

which never before crowned the en-

Where Peter the Great LODGED

where Feter the Great Lodged.
In the quaint town of Zaarndam, in
Holland, Peter the Great came in 1907
to learn the trade of shipbuilding. He
worked like any ordinary workman,
under the name of Peter Michaelhoff.
He lived by himself. doing his own
washing and cooking his own meals in
his hut of two rooms. The cottage
which now leans in all directions, still
contains the rude furniture which the
great Peter used-a bedstead, table and
two chairs. 1t is incased in a building
erected for the purpose and over the
mantel is tablet erected by Alexander
of Russia in 1914.

The bill to consolidate the city OF
Denver and the county of Arapahoe,
commonly known as the Rush bill, Is
meeting with great deal of opposition.
1t is pointed out that it will hardly be
possible to include the whole of the
present county, east to the state line,
within the city limits. of Denver; and
If that is not done, new county must
be created, which must have a county
seat and county buildings and a full
set of county officers; so that even If
the city of Denver Were to be relieved
of some expense by the proposed meas
ur, the people in Arapahoe county out
side of Denver would be taxed much
higher than they are now. Further
more, it is urged that while consoli-
dation would get rid of one set of Off
GERS, there would be practically about
the same amount of work to be done as
there is now, and just about as many
employees would have to be provided
for; so that the saving to the city
would be comparatively small after all.

Some Interesting and valuable addi-
tions have recently been made to the
British geological gardens. One is a
lizard possessing two tails. AS is well
known. the lizard avoids capture by
leaving its tail in the hands of its
captor. the caudal appendage ultimate
ly growing again. In this instance 1t
appears that the tail of the lizard be-
came damaged by some means, but
was not detached. A second extrem-
ity protruded from the wound, which
healed. SO that now the lizard pos
sesses two tails. Another unique ad-
dition is the three-striped California
tree boa.
