One of James Hamilton Lewis cli- ents has been under sentence of death for nine years.
 Prof. Huxley once wrote in regard to a scientific congress over which he was to preside: s'All this time I shall be occupied in hearing one jackass contradict another jackass about questions which are of no inn portance."
 Andrew Carnegie's first gift of a library was to his birthplace of Dun- fermline, Scotland ($40,000). He said at the time that it was a good place to begin because the first public li- brary the little place ever had was the collection of three weavers, one of whom was my father
 Ex-Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, who has returned home after two years spent abroad with his family, says that since the Spanish war it is evident to travellers that the English regard us with much more friend ship and that 'sthe French do not like us at all, though they are afraid of us.''
 Senator Depew has given to his son Chauneey, Jr., house and lot at Seventy-eighth street and Amster- dam avenue, New York city. The transfer of this property is intended to mark the beginning of the young mans business career. There is a $15,000 mortgage and the lifting of that incumbrance will be a test of business ability.

GLASSES FOR AUroMoBILIsTs
Kind Used to Protect the Drivers Face When Going at
 High Speed.

To the various sorts of glasses de- signed for drivers use have now been added automobile glasses, especially designed for the use of the automobile driver. These are not worn in the city, where, with the restrictions on the speed of automobiles, they are not needed; but they are worn in the coun- try, where the adtomobilist un- shackles the machine and 1etslft go at 40 or 50 miles an hour, more or less. Going at that speed his eyes need pro- lection; and this is afforded by the automobile glasses, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 These glasses are spectacles fitted with very large shell-shaped or con vexed glasses, the size and the shape giving 6 large field of vision. Attached to the frame is mask that projects high enough above the glasses to cover the forehead of the ,wearer, up under the peak of the cap, and that extends below the glasses and out at the sides Blong the spectacle bows, sufficiently to cover the entire face, front and sides.
 For winter wear, when some warmth in it would be desirable, the mask is made of suede leather, lined with silk; for summer use these glasses are made with the mask of unlined silk, either of the gray suede color or of black.
 Automobile glasses are French no- tion, and originally all those sold here were imported from France. Now they are made here. Lots of them are sold. They cost, according to the material the mask is made of, from S25O to S a pair.

ORGANS CARRIED IN TRUNKS.
One That Travelled Around the World -Mahy Are Thus Carried in
 This Country.

'In the Sun awhile ago." said a man ufacturer of organs, says the New York Journal, 'sI read an interesting paragraph about trunk that New York manufacturer had made for an organ that was carried around the world by Ira D. Sankey, the singing evangelist. He carried the organ with him to be sure to have one to use when ever he wanted it, and he had that trunk made for it to insure it's safety in transportation, and to make it easy to transport instead of boxing and unlocking it every time. They used to carry this organ in its trunk right onto the stage and just open the trunk and throw the top and sides back and there was the organ ready for use.
 ''Very probably that organ trunk made the longest continuous journey of any ever made, but I guess you would find dozen or dozens of organs toted all over this country in trunks made to carry them in. These organs are carried by theatrical and other travelling entertainments. It might seem as though an organ could be found anywhere in the country but as matter of fact that is not so. Car rying an organ along they avoid all difficulty and have just what they want. And if you could get them all into bundle together I guess you could gather up something like a carload of baggage consisting of or gans carried in trunks

--- Music of Beetles.

While the structure of the music of stridulating organs of beetles is ex- tremely simple, they sometimes pos sess contrivances for varying the pitch. The general structure of such an organ is a hard surface covered with striations, over which some other member of the body furnished with rasping edge or area is rubbed. When the striated surface is divided into parts with finer and coarser markings, variations of pitch can be produced.

The big Australian parrot that play cid a conspicuous part with the Klaw & Erlanger opera company in Foxy Quiller" last season will continue in the same role the coming tour. It is spending it's vacation in bird store on upper Broadway, where it attracts much attention by repeating lines from it's conversation with Jerome Sykes as Foxy Quiller'' in the opera. The To- Quacious bird sadly jared an Irish lab orer at work fin the street by persistent- Iy yelling. "The reds above the green" and .sStreak of yellow. eh?' lines from Mir Sykes part.

HOW BIG SEA TURTLES FEED
Take Big Balls of Grass Out to Sea
and Eat While swimming.


With my gastronomic taste natural
ly was very curious TO know just what
kind of terrapin are caught in these
waters. for the dish Is one much
sought after by epicures and forms
part of the menu for every first class
hotel on the coast. ! was told that
none is caught about here. but was
invited TO n sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine a turtle weighing all
the way from 1.200 to loo pounds,
and not long ago one was turned over
on the beach near Miami that weighed
more than 1,600 pounds. or course /
am giving the largest weight. for the
average weight of those caught along
the coast is about 500 pounds. After
they are caught the turtles are kept for
a long time. their captors feeding them
on cabbage. lettuce, turnips, carrots
and sea grasses.
The study of this monster shellfish is
a most interesting one. In order to get
rid of the parasites that cling to their
shells they often enter fresh streams to
enjoy a bath. but they are extremely
timid and take fright at the least
noise. The hunter knows. however,
that the turtle feeds in brackish
streams where the tide falls rather low
and where the turtle grass grows in
greatest profusion. The turtles cut
great quantities of this grass and then
roll it into ball. cementing it as they
roll it with the clay in which the grass
grows, and in this way, when they
have managed to amass a goodly sup
ply of provisions, they wait for high
tide and float away seaward. feeding
as they float.
The professional hunters are quick to
detect these balls, and just the mo-
ment they do so they set their seines
and send their peggers. as the men are
called. in search of the feeding shoals.
Men are not the only enemies the tur-
ties have, however, for bears, raccoOns
and other animals native 10 Florida
destroy great numbers of them.-Jack-
