The telephone is likely to have a
new use in a short time. and a humane
one. Among the big mine-owners and
mining companies in the Pennsylvania
coal regions there is considerable dis
Cusslon over the feasibility of building
a system Of telephones all through the
underground workings, for use in
cases of emergency, as well as for
the transaction Of daily business. This
means of communication would be a
great help to rescuers in the case Of
search for comrades accidentally
buried under ground through cave-ins

companies will adopt some such sys-
tetm.

Banks Ready For EmergenoIes.

To meet sudden and unexpected de-
mands upon banks, large sum is kept
ready for use. The average large
bank-say with total assets of $780,
000,000-is prepared by four lines of
defense to resist sudden attack. In
the vault or safe about 100000 in
bank bills is always on hand; back of
that is a cash reserve of perhaps ST.
100000, deposited in various business
banks subject to instant call; back Of
that again is perhaps SS,000000 in
United States and other gilt-edged Sc
curities Immediately marketable, and
the fourth and last line of defense, and
to be retired upon only in extreme dis
tress, is S6,O0O,OO0 or SS,O00,OOO in
bonds and mortgages, on which the
mortgagers will be hurriedly called to
make a payment on account If the
bank is pushed to exremeties. With
such resources, disaster would seem
impossible, though it has come to the
best fortified institutions.-Th Book.

A recent test was made of the effect
Of X-rays ON insects in the following
manner: A box was made, half of
wood and half Of sheet lead In the
wooden half a number Of larvae of
flies, bees, beetles, and other incests
were placed, and the box was then
put in the field of the X-rays. The
insect colony at once became greatly
excited, and after crawling to and
fro, finally emigrated, to a worm,
to the leaden half Of the box, where
the rays would not penetrate. The
experiment was repeated many times
and always with the same result. A
similar experiment was tried with the
blind larvae of a certain species of
beetle. A number of them were
placed in an open cigar-box, which
also contained a metal box with an
opening. No sooner were the rays
turned on than the insects showed
signs Of distress. Their uneasiness
increased, and in a little while they
all sought refuge in the metal box. AS
the larvae in the second experiment
were entirely sightless, their percep-
ton of the rays must take place
through the nerves of the skin.

According to the nebular hypothesis,
which is generally accepted by astron-
omers, the first stage of a stars ex-

by contraction and condensation, it

found In the constellation Aquila, in
the summer Of 1899, is shown by the
spectrum to have passed into the

is confirmed by Professor Wendell at
Cambridge, who explains the strange
phenomenon by suggesting that 1t was
caused by a collision in space, the
heat thereby developed being sufficient
to turn solid matter into gas and

The story here related is so typical
of our distinguished representative at
the court of St. James that one would
have no hesitancy in vouching for its
genuineness. A semi-state reception
was given at the residence of a certain
lord in London; our inimitable
Choate in his court dress" of plain
broadcloth was extremely inconspicu-
GUS in comparison with the gold-laced
and insignia-decorated representatives
of ether countries. When the night was
waning one of the departing guests,
whose indulgence probably made him
forget that English lackeys on such
occasions wore the livery of their
office, approached Mr.. Choate and re-
quested him to call him a cab. The
response was a blank stare. Upon his
repeating the request, Wont you
call me a cab, please?" Mr.. Choate re-
sponded, Certainly. You're a cab"
Imagine the indignation of the insult
ed Englishman, who, upon making
complaint to the host, was asked as a
favor to point out the offender. After

Fish should be allowed a gallon of
water each, that is, for every fish of
medium size, say three inches long.
The bottom of the aquarium should
be covered one-half inch deep with
sand; there should be water-plant
enough to furnish the fish with oxy-
gen and absorb the carbonic acid, and
also a few tad-poles and snails to act
as scavengers. These conditions are
for self-sustaining aquarium, where
no change of water is necessary. If.
on the contrary, the fish are kept in
a globe, say of half-gallon to two-gal-
Ions capacity. with four or five full
grown fish, at least half of the water
must be changed daily. If the fish
are but half an inch or two inches
long, and each one has a half-gallon
of water, water need be added only
to replace the loss by evaporation.
Whenever the fish come to the sur
face, it indicates that the water or

ened. They should be fed each day
only as much as they eat up clean

Manila, Dec. 9.-Gen. Chaffee has
issued orders for the closing of all ports
in the Laguna and Batanags provinces.
The quartermasters there will cease
paying rents to the Filipinos for build
ings used for military purposes as it is
known that a large portion of the
money finds its way to the insurgents
in the shape of contributions and Gen.
Chaffee intends that no more govern
ment funds shall find their way into
the hands of the enemy. The reason
for closing the ports is that too many
supplies are found to be getting into
the possession of the insurgents.

After that Ashbee had rather looked
for something superb, and during his

loss to understand the potency of al
lurements which radiated from so

men trailed after her. Ashbee, whose
conversation with her had sparkled,
turned fretfully to Dalbiac with:
Its her blasted Indifference that
drives you donkeys mad. Why don't
you get up a rival game? 1 see there

growing dreamily apathetic to his en-
