Edgar Stanton Maclay, the author of
"a History of the United States Navy"
who is still working as clerk in the
Brooklyn navy yard, is preparing to
make changes in his history if Rear
Admiral Schley is eXonerated. He said
in an interview: 81 am awaiting the
decision of the court before putting out
the revised edition of the history. If
the court exonerates Admiral Schley
and clears him of all discredit | will at
once cut out that portion of the third
volume which is detrimental to him."
1t will be surprise to many that
this fellow is still drawing pay from the
United States government. He should
have been dismissed long ago.

The Eclipse CYCLONE.

The remarkable discovery that to-
tai eclipse of the sun develops a cold
air cyclone as the shadow sweeps
across the earth has been made by
Mr. II. c. Clayton through study of
the meteorological phenomena Obscry-
ed during the eclipse of May, 1900.
During the eclipse the winds We're
practically reversed in direction as the
umbra moved from one side of the CON
tfnent to the other, and there was an
outflow of air from the shadow to a
distance Of 300 miles. As the shadow
progressed about 1000 miles an hour
the eclipse cyclone, to keep pace with
ii. must have continuously formed
within the shadow and must have dis
siDated in the rear almost instantly"
Mr.. Clayton believes that this discoy-
cry indicates that the fall of tempera-
ture at night must tend to produce
cold air cyclone, while the heat of day
tends to the production of warm air
one, and thus the puZzling phenomenon
of the double diurnal period in air
pressure receives an explanation.

During that period her house became

er realized how well known II was un-
til she set out to find n place to live in

She applied first at the house kept by

that she was not wanted IN the estab-

reputation for keeping n fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
Of former boarding house keeper who
had made reputation and fortune in
the business.
She learned, after going to a hotel
where her record could not be used
against her, that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult to
get into Il boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they are

Making Invisible Pictures.

Invisible pictures of new kind are
the invention of a German scientist
named KretSchmann, who utiltZes for
the purpose salts of cobalt, which are
pale rose in color when cold, but change
to deep blue on being heated. Prints
of the kind look like mere blank paper
of a pinkish hue until held near fire.
when they quickly undergo transfer
nation and reveal the hidden designs.
The secret of it is TO employ paper
that is of the same rose tint as that OF
the cobalt salts with which the print
ing ink is made. Thus the print is Of
the same hue as the background and,
offering no contrast with the latter,
should not be visible. As matter Of
fact. faint outlines of the design have
tendency to show, but this difficulty is
overcome and the picture made abso-
lutely viewless by printing it first with
a white ink and then with rose cobalt
ink covering the white.
1t is obvious that in this manner pic
lures may be sent secretly, TO be dis
closed later by holding the paper near
the fire.-Saturday Evening Post.

paper on the floor and, pointing out

In doing this one night he kept his foot
on an editorial which should have been
killed and which very soon caused
grievous trouble Mr.. Hearst Is but
80 years old. He has socialistic tend
encies, but has nevertheless been heard
to say that he regarded Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter as one of the best and greatest Of
American citizens; this, too, while ever
pursuing the Standard OIL trust. His
explanation is that such enormous
wealth must be kept in check and that
the magnates must understand that
the people know all about them. Mr..
Hearst Is a hard worker, and there is
scarcely a morning at 8 when he is not
to be found in the composing room.
He can do anything on a paper from
setting type to writing edtorials.-Al-

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
Rhe One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.

Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
birds Whenever any one of them dis
covered a rara avis II was the custom
TO have a consultation. Mark had been
witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day ii occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus in the
form of bird. He killed a crow and
also a barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro-
lucIng unique effect When he bad
the specimen nicely prepared. he went
to his father and, handing 1t to him,
said.
Here, father, is a very curious bird

ested in IT."
The old gentleman gaZed upon the
specimen with astonishment. That
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled In Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
Offshoot of the bird of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no
tions as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by the
peculiarly of the birds tail from the
judgment that it was of the crow fam
lily.

Shallow Cultivation For Corn,

We do not believe in deep cultivation
for corn after 1t has grown more than
three or four inches high. BY that
time 1t has begun to seed its roots out;
hence to work the soil deep after this
has begun is to break those roots and
to check the growth. There may be q
period In the growth of plant or tree
when root pruning is beneficial, but
so little Is known about it that we do
not care to experiment with 1t In a
haphaZard way. But in year like the
present deep cultivation is likely to
break more corn roots than In a dry
and warmer season. The corn root needs
moisture, but not too much, and 1t de-
lights In the heat of the sun. 1t Is
thus likely TO run much nearer the sur
face than it would have done If we
had been favored with more warm days
and less rain. Working the soil as
deep as the manure used Will make 1t
fertile before planting the seed and as
thoroughly as possible after the corn
begins to grow, but not more than
three inches deep between the rows,
and In a season like this we would pre-
fer not to go more than two inches
deep, says American Cultivator.

With n boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
