lean Museum of Natural
History.

What is probably the finest private
collection of minerals in the world has
just been presented to the American
Museum of Natural History, at Seven
ty-ninth street and Columbus avenue,
by citizen of New York. The collec-
tion is that of Clarence S. Bement,
of Philadelphia. In addition to the
the collection contains Mr..
Dement'S entire gathering of meteor
ties, valued alone at about $4,000.
The specimens number about 14,OO0.
The collection is noted not only for
the number of specimens, but also for
the individual perfection and elegance
of the minerals. The collection rep
resents the labor of 35 years.
The National Museum, it is stated,
and other institutions have made en-
deavors to secure this collection, but
the price placed upon it has been
an obstacle TO its purchase.
The price paid by the New York pur-
chaser is not mentioned, but the value
of the collection complete is estimated
at between $15O,O0O and 100000.

WOMAN FASCINATED BY LION.
Canadian Girl Creates Sensation In
Paris by Her Actions During
Public Performance.

A Canadian woman calling herself
Edith Sherson, who was formerly a
London actress, has been a constant
spectator for the last ten days at the
Folies Bergeres, Paris, where Ger
man animal trainer is exhibiting
troupe of lions.
When the lions appear in their iron
cage the woman appears fascinated
and she habitually stands near the cage
of a particularly ferocious lion named
Menelik, who seems to have captivated
the woman,
The other night the climax occurred.
No usher was near and the trainer
was occupied by the lions in another
cage. Suddenly the woman sprang
on to the stage, dashed to the cage
where Menelik was growing and show
ing his teeth, and pressing her head
against the ratings, touched Meneliks >
head. The beast turned quickly and
sprang open-mouthed against the
bars. The audience was Mortified but
the woman, unscathed and undismayed,
knelt so as to stare the lion in the
eye, and then stroked his head.
To everybody's amazement, the great
beast skunk back to the farthest corner
of his cage. The audience applauded
wildly, but the tanner called an usher
and had the woman escorted outside
with the notification that she would
not be admitted hereafter.

earthed in Egypt The papyrus,
which was in excellent condition.
dates from about 1900 B. C.-that is.
about 100 years before the time of
Moses. 1t proves that the Egyptians
had thorough knowledge of the ele-
mentary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
long heading, Direction How to At
tain the knowledge of All Dark
Things" etc. Numerous examples
show that their principal operations
with entire units and fractions were
made by means of addition and multi
plication. Subtraction and divisions
were not known in their present form,
but correct results were obtained,
nevertheless, Equations were al2o
found in the papyrus.

Conshohocken.-When Charles Gay
Ter, an alleeged actor. who boards at
the house of Theodore Stamm, of West
Lafayette, awoke few mornings ago
he found himself tied to the bed with
a clothesline.
He instantly cried for help and
Stamm came into the room laughing
By way Of explanation, he told Gayler
that he would have to remain fastened
to the bed until his board was paid.
Although the boarder fretted and
flUmed, it was of no use. 1t seems that
Stamm opened letter of Gayler's by
mistake. 1t was from a friend, who
advised him to quit the ranch" as
the boarding house was termed. and let
money.
Stamm became enraged at reading
such instructions, and, as Gayler owed
him s4S, he strapped him to the bed
while he slept. After making the help
less boarder tell where the key of his
trunk was, the proprietor opened It
and found enough wearing apparel to
equal the value of the board bill.
The trunk was then sent to a safe
place of the house and Gayler unfas
tened. Stamm then gave the actor his
breakfast and told hinl he was dis
charged. On reaching the door. Gay
Ter shouted dramatically: "You have
opened my mail without my consent,
and are. therefore. criminal in the
eyes of the law Prepare your de-
fense!" With that the door slammed.
and Stamm now feels decidedly uneasy.

the president the striking resemblance
between the two. For many years
DR.. Bugbee has been mistaken for

that Dr. Bugbee decided to visit Pres

with the fact that he had double.
A profile view of DR.. Bugbee and the
president would not be wanting in
any detail of similarity. DR.. Bugbee
explained that number of persons
had spoken to him, believing he was
the president. He said:
