CHECKMATED THE KING.
Why Frederick the Great Did Not
Send the ASS to the Nom
astery.

Frederick the Great had little re-
spect for religion or it's devotees,
though he paid outward heed to the
forms of the church. On one occasion
a certain abbot at Camenz had sue
ceeded Tobias, an old friend and favor
lite of Frederick, says London paper.
The king disliked the new abbot as
heartily as he had liked the old one;
but, having been Hospitality enter
tanned by him during visit to
Camenz, he deemed it fitting to recog-
nize his hosts attentions by some spe-
cial mark of royal grace, and, calling
the abbot to his carriage window as
he was about to drive away from the
monastery gates, said to him: "Ask
me a favor" ''Sire," observed the alb
bot, 'our second bass choir singer is
recently dead. Doubtless your majes-
ty can dispose of many choirists in
Berlin. VIII my all-mightiest, all
serenest monarch design to be-gift us
with a second bass?" The king, after
a moments reflection, replied: ''Tll
send you one from NeuStadt on the
Dosse.''
It flashed across the abbot's mind
that Frederick had some short time
previously set up an establishment for
improving the breed OF asses in the
very town mentioned by him, and fore
seeing what sort of bass singer the
kings peculiar humor would prompt
him to forward to Camenz, he prompt
ly rejoined: "Most dread sovereign, in
token of our gratitude for your
gracious bounty, and in accordance
with the custom of our order, we shall
bestow upon our new second bass the
name of it's exalted donor. He will be
known in our choir as Fredericus
Secundus!" The king made no at
tempt to return this dexterous home
thrust. He never again alluded to an
episode in which he felt that he had
been thoroughly worsted.
Why Joachim Did Not Play Again.
Years ago DR.. Joachim, the violinist,
and Browning were at a London even
ing party. Joachim had played sew
eral selections, but as it was rather
informal affair, the ladies begged
Browning to plead with him for just
one more performance.
The poet pleaded, but in language
so. obscure and deep that only he
could plumb it's depths. The doctor
did not play again, and afterward,
when Browning explained that he
had asked for another selection on
behalf of the ladies, the famous VIC
hnist stared.
''Then why on EARTH" said he at
length, "didn't you say: Come, Joe,
old fellow, let's have some more mu.

Pulling Height of a Tower.

A great mystery invests the electric
tower at the Pan-American Exposi-
ton. Nobody knows how high it is.
At any rate. that is a fair inference
from published descriptions. A long
account of it in the Industrial and
Architectural Review says: From
the water to the feet of the figure Of
Electricity is a vertical distance of
331 feet. The ngure is seventeen feet
in height"
To verify this we turn to certain
Pan-American publications at hand
One official looking book in a gray-blue
cover informs US that "the electric
tower is 391 feet high" On the same
page with tbs statement is a cut Of
the tower labeled Electric Tower, 375
feet high" Another exposition fold
era green and yellow one-gives the
height of the tower as 400 feet, and OF
the goddess as eighteen feet, but
whether or Lot she is included in the
400 feet, is not stated. The builder OF
the statue informs the Express that
her height is twerty-fo.:r feet.
Still another exposition booklet with
an esthetic sage-green cover says OF
this marvellous construction that it IS
"a stately tower of soaring height"
Just how high thing has to be before
it is of ": >aring height" we do not
know, brt we think in this case the
statement is correct.-Brffalo Express.

bleaching by Electricity.

Some information as to the advan'
taces of a new method of bleaching
textiles by means Of electricity is CIV
en- in a recent communication to the
State Department by Ernest L. Harris
United States Consular Agent at Elb-
enstock, Germany. The new method,
which has been invented by q German
professor and a firm Of electricians IN
Saxony, consists Of passing currents OF
electricity through brine, producing a
liquor strongly impregnated with So
dunn hypochlorite, which, it is said,
advantageously replaces chloride OF
lime for all bleaching purposes.
The advantages of this new agent
are that it possesses the highest
bleaching power; there is no injury or
loss to the weight of the fabric; lime
and magnesia salts are not deposited
on the cloth-a valuable point in the
subsequent dyeing and printing pro-
cesses-the liquor is always of one
strength, and the cost of production is
less. Rock salt OF sea salt may be
used for the mixing of the brine, pro-
vided it contains no material injurious
in the subsequent processes.

How the Government Indications Can Ee
Utilized to Best Advantage.
"Ampliication of Weather Fore
casts is the title of an article by AL
fred J. Henry, professor Of meteorolo-
gy, weather bureau, which will appear
in the Year Book of the Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Henry says:
"The time at the disposal Of the
forecast official of the weather bureau
At the central Office in Washington
city for the purpose of forec1sting
probable weather changes, cold waves
and severe storms is about thirty min
utes in the morning and forty at night.
It is impossible in this short time to
do more than express the character
of the anticipated changes for each
State or district east of the Rocky
Mountains in any but the most gen.
eral terms. The local or State fore
cast official, Gu the other hand, is
concerned with but 4 single district.
Hc is at liberty to amplify the nation
al foretaste or to put forth state
ment of his own. in which the antici-
pated changes may be given in as much
detail as the conditions seem to
justify.
Persons who use the forecasts con-
stantly should cultivate the habit Of
carefully noting the weather changes
in their respective localities, especial
ly the sequence in which such changes
occur, for it is only by acquiring a
knowledge of local weather signs that
they can use Government forecasts to
the best advantage.
persons whose working hours are
largely spent in the open air soon be-
come familiar with the changing as
poets of the sky and the condition OF
the atmosphere as to its moisture con-
tent, viz: whether relatively dry or
humid. If careful observers Of natur-
al phenomena they note also the shift
Of the wind and the sequence of
weather which follows. In this way
and without special effort a fund OF
weather wisdom is soon acquired
which needs only to be properly CORE
lated in order to serve 4 most useful
purpose. The greatest advantage will
naturally accrue to the individual who
reads and accurately interprets not
only the Government forecasts, but
also the local weather signs"
Mr.. Henry devotes the remainder of
his paper to a description of the local
sign of falling weather.-Washington

Two Kinds of Porriflre.

How is it that the agricultural folk
in the south of England will not take
at all 10 porridge as the Scotch peas
antry do? Possibly the explanation is
that for the most part they know
nothing whatever about this admira bic
food, which makes bone and muscle,
and is, moreover, so palatable to the
majority Of people who have tried it
for a while. The rural workers could
not, it is true, often afford to take milk
with their porridge, as the well-to-do
people in the south of England who
eat this food do, but Scotch peasants
seem to prefer porridge and salt to por-
ridge and milk. There was an excel
lent dish at one time in favor in the
south, but which has gone entirely out
of fashion-frumenty, or furmenty, as
it was sometime called. 1t was
boiled wheat with milk, spice and su'
gar.-London Express.
