Sydney Parliament House.

In January. 1888. Lord Darlington. then
governor Of New South Wales, laid the foun-
dation stone Of what was intended to be
gorgeous pile Of parliamentary buildings in
Sydney. During the fifteen years that have
since elapsed 1t has not been introduced to
a single companion. and has stood in silent.
solitary, satirical isolation. Once more the
propriety of providing Sydney with decent
parliamentary house is being urged. The
collection of ramshackle wooden sheds that
have served for sixty years are reported to
be in imminent danger Of collapse through
the rayages of white ants. How they have
contrived to escape destruction by fire Is a
puzzle. They were originally erected in the
early years of the last century by trio Of
enterprising Sydney citizens. who under
took to build hospital IL permitted by the
ruling military authorities Of the period to
import $1,000 gallons Of rum. Hence the
ORIGINAL colloouial name Of the Sydney par
lament house-the Rum Hospital"

Rainbow Colored Uniforms.

From the London Broad Arrow.
From all accounts. the recent experiments
made at Aldershot for concealing the posi-
lions Of guns in the field. by painting them
with daubs of the primary colors. red, blue
and yellow, seem to have met with extraor-
binary success. Six guns so bedizened were
placed on the Fox Hills, and at 5000 yards,
although the direction in which they lay
was known. 1t was found impossible to To-
cate them all, even with field glasses. Some
horse artillery sent forward to engage them
were unable to find them until they had ad-
yanced to within 1 COO yards, by which time,
in actual warfare, the gaily covered gums
would have probably made short work OF
them. The streaks of color are splaShed on,
rainbow fashion, and the result Is to cause
the guns to appear as part and parcel OF the
la ndscape. even at a short distance.
Once this principle has been adopted for
artillery what reason Is there to suppose
that 1t canot be applied to the uniform OF
men in the field? Perhaps we shall be short
former days. Khaki and heather tweed may
even make way for combina lions Of color
that will throw into the shade all the bril-
liant uniforms fthe past. At first sight this
may seem frivolous idea. but once 1t has
been established that men CARRIED In rain
bow hues will emulate the properties of Mr..
Wells invisible man, we shall be obliged to
consider ths advisability Of reforming uni
form in this direction. The appearance OF
the soldier will be crude barbarc and SIN
gular. but we doubt not that 1t will have
considerable effect upon the recruiting prob
len1 and perhaps go some way to solve 1t.

Cost Of Modern Research.

From American Medicine.
The cost Of modern original research as
compared with that Of the past IL clearly
set forth by Professor Dewar in his presi-
Dental address before the British Associa.-
ton. He obtained from the book Of tie
Royal Institution the actual outlay made
by the institution during the past 100 years
for experimental inquiry, and punlic DEM
onstration. which was 1900, or an aver
Age Of 5000 a year. Recalling the names
Of Young, Davy. Faraday and Tyndall,
ceptional man is about the cheapest Of
natural products" The gist Of the matter
Is perceived when 1t Is stated that the Car
negie institution will dispose in one year
Of as much money as the members Of the
Royal Institution expended in 100 years.
Professor Dewar wisely adds:
1T may be doubted whether We can rea-
sonably count upon a succession CT scien-
tif1c men able and willing to make sacrifices
which the conditions Of modern life tend to
render increasingly burdensome. Modern
science Is. In fact. In something Of a d.
lemma. Devotion to abstract research upon
small means Is becoming always harder TO
maintain. while at the same time the num-
Der Of wealthy Independent searchers after
truth and patrons OF science Of the style OF
Joule, Spottiswoode and De la Rue Is ap-
parently becoming smaller. The tnstafa-
lions required by the refinemeuts OF modern
science are continually becoming more cost
'ly, SO that upon all grounds It would appear
that without endowments of the kind pro-
vided by DIR. Carnegie the outlook for dis
interested research Is rather dark. On the
other hand, these endowments. unless care
fully administered, might obviously tend to
impair the singie-minded devotion to the
search after truth for its own sake. to
which science has owed almost every inefl-
orable advance made in the past.

Under the Gutllotine.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch
There is a story Of CHASTITY quarter Of an
hour once passed by a young Partisan who
wandered into the Chamber Of Horrors''
at q wax works show in London. Finding
himself alone. he was seized with an inspi
ration. What a glorious thing to put his
neck under the guillotine where had rested
the neck Of Marie Antoinette! He lay
down. touched a spring and closed the col
lar But how was he to release himself?
II he touched the wrong spring the fatal
ak might descend. Unable to speak a word
of English. he yelled Justify for help in
French. and before long a crowd Of visitors
led by an attendant came on the scene
The guide was a bit of linguist and saw
an opportunity with himself as master Of
the situation. He at once began a practical
lecture on the guiliotine, interrupting his
remarks with little asides in French to the
indignant victim, asking him to scream
louder OF writhe more agonizingly. How
well he actsr' exclaimed the gratified on
lockers. Finally the Partisan was released
and answering the applause with maledic-
tons. fed leaving his hat behind.

Desert Lizards.
Intry Life In America,

From Country Life In America.
There is no place like the desert for liz
ards As a man rides through the white
sands or over the black malapai mountains
in Arizona or southeastern California and
sees the flash and skurry Of these brilliant
and graceful creatures the suggestion Of
death and solitude is broken. and, behold
ing so much life he Is brought to wonder If
the country is really desert or only land
to which a man is not adapted. For here
are animals which never drink, yet, frisk
about through thorns and cactus and fatten
on the bitter plants. Many desert pros
pector had laid down with his burros to
die and seen on the rocks about him the
black heads Of the Chuck-walla lizards out
lined against the brazen sky. The Chuck
wallas were happy and corpulent with good
eating. 1t was their country. For thou
sands Of generations their ancestors had
never thirsted for water. and plants which
the starving burfos passed by furnished
both food and drink for the scaly natives
on the rocks. Next to the slow moving and
deadly ella monster the Chuck-walla Is the
largest lizard Of the desert, being from q
foot to a foot and a half in length.

Fathers First Name.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

fron the brooklyn hA&ie-
One Of the requirements Of the public
school system OF the greater city Is that
the Christian name OF the father az living)
of every pupil shall be entered upon the
class roll each term. with the older chill
dren it is an easy matter to acquire this in
formation, but 1t calls for the exercise Of
some diplomacy to get the little ones to re-
spond readily, and frequently the teacher
is called upon to frame some special ques-
ton when the stereotyped query. What is
your fathers manner" fails to bring forth
a satisfactory reply. One small girl. whose
educational career began this term, in an
swer to this question. replied Mr.. Blank"
But what Is his first name-John, Charles
or what?" persisted the teacher.
Mr.. Blank was the answer a second
time.
But what does your mamma call him.
Mary? What did she say to him this
morning."
You big fat slob.' was the discomfort
ing answer. and Marys examination was
postponed until the next session.

Women Buy Worthless Ours.

The Paris police have received lately nu-
merous complaints from American women
who bought pet dogs here at high prices,
but at the end of seven or eight days the
dogs sickened and died. A member Of the
Belmont family paid lately $500 for a dog,
left it with the dog fancier. went to Eng
land, returned to Paris and found that the
dog had died. The money paid for the ami
NAL was not returned. As high as $50 Is
often paid for these pet dogs. which never
live more than fortnight
Frequently they are dyed to improve their
appearance. and after a few days the paint
wears of. revealing an ugly cur not worth
house room. Americans should have no
dealings with itinerant dog fanciers whose
names and addresses are unknown and who
never are found after the purchaser has
been yictimixed.

Great Mem 'of Science.

FROM the Popular Science monthly.
The death OF uvirchow. following the
deaths Of Pasteur, Helmholtz and Darwin.
seems to leave the world without men Of
science as great as those 1t has lost. Great
Britain, in the establishment of its new
order of merit, has selected Lord KelvlI,
Lord Lister, Lord Rayleigh and Sir W.T.
liam Higgins as the four students of sci
ence to be honored In addition to Mr.
Herbert Spencer whose claims for recogni.
ton are somewhat different. Sir Joseph
Hooker and Sir William Stokes may be
placed in this group. When. on The occa-
sion OF virchow's eightieth birthday last
year. Lord Lister brought greetings from
Great Britain, he was the only man whose
work could be placed beside Virchow's; but
while his method of antfseptfc treatment in
surgery has been one of the greatest sd
vances In medicine. 1t Is In some respects
an isolated discovery. and can scarcely claim
equality with the immense work accom-
plished by virchow and Pasteur, Lord
Kelvin Is the only living physicist who
might be ranked with Helmholtz. Darwin
