S,os, That VIII Not Freak.

Louis Kauffeld, owner Of a large
glass factory, claims to have discover
ed the secret of manufacturing MALE
able glass, the long-lost art of the an
cients.. He says he is now manufactur-
ing semi-malleable ware, according to
the Washington Times, soon will be
able to put on the market kind OF
glass that will be as malleable US any
of the metals.
In the presence of the cores ldent
and workman Mr.. Kauffeld took a
glass chimney of ordinary appearance,
put as much water in it as it would
hold when it was placed horizontally,
and, placing it over a fire, proceeded to
boil the water without cracking the
chimney.
Next, this same chimney was heated
puntil it was almost at the melting
point aud plunged into cold water.
The chimney went through the ordeal
without injury.
! Kauffeld followed this experiment by
taking up the now cooled chilnaey and
using it as hammer, driving a good
sized nail into tough card with it.
Again the chimney came forth I'M
harmed.
While Kaufteld's process is unknown
to anybody except himself he volun-
teered the information that the lime
and lead that are used in the manu-
facture of ordinary glass do not enter
into the composition of this. What the
substitutes arc he would not say.

Colnical FishinG Contest.

A very amusing competition for fish
ermen has just taken place in Brussels.
The contest, which was international.
says the London Express, brought
three fishing clubs from France. The
prizes, which ran up 10 several hun
dred francs, we're TO be awarded to
those who caught most fish in given
time. Hundreds OF competitors ap-
peared on the scene, clad in varitey
of comical costumes.
Fishing took place in the lake in
the Bois de Ia Cambre and the Tuelles
ponds, all noted for their finny inhab-
itants. Round the banks the fisher
men sat for hours under broiling sun
in serried line, gravely watching
their floats. All the rods had to go
into the water at given signal.
Wherever a fish was caught, be it
great or be it small, a gun was fired
The first fish caught in each group
was cooked for the feast and. minnow
or whale, served on bed of parsley.
The dish was carried solemnly to the
president, who rose and bowed gravely
three times to the unconscious fish, af-
ter which it was paradcG round the
room and saluted by all the members
If lie club il turn. At the close OF
the dinner the president proposed the
health of all fish.

THE BOY AND THE MERCHANT.
How, by Snndry Tests, an Employer Sc
lccted an Errand Boy.

How, by Srndry Tests, an Employer Sc
lccied an Errand Boy.
A merchant prince of this city,
needing additional help, inserted the
following advertisement in a morning
paper:
boy Wanted-s4 week; Sc to the
right one"
A group Of two or three dozen ap-
plicants awaited the merchant the next
day in his office. One at time they
were admitted, and to each in turn the
merchant said:
"Take this book and read on without
pause or break until tell you to stop"
The boy would take the volume and
begin to read. The merchant t,after a
moment would rise with a sharp eX-
clamation and drop heavy paper
weight upon the floor, which would
excite the curiosity OF the rea-
der, who would pause and raise his
eyes from the text to see what was 60
ing on. But if he refrained from
doing this, if he kept up a continu-
GUS flow of reading, the merchant
would put him to another test by
taking a puppy dog from closet and
beginning to romp with it.
All the boys but one fell before the
test of the puppy dog. They stopped
reading, they looked on at the romp
with smiles, and some, of them even
went so far as to say:
whats the dogs name, mister?"
Those who failed like this were
hidden to depart. But the one boy
who did not fail the merchant took
by the hand. Il want you, he said,
'for it is plain that you are master OF
yourself l told you to keep on
reading, and you kept on, though to
test you l dropped an iron paper
weight and pl aged with puppy
dog. I'll take you, therefore, into my
employ at 81 week, and if you do as
well as l think you will your salary
will be rased to Sc week within 9
months.
The boy, who had an honest, open
countenance, said: 81 thank you, sir.
Mother will bc glad to hear of this.
l will report for duty at o'clock to-
morrow morning"
And bowling politely, the lad with
drew, holding his cap in his hand.
The merchant gave him, the next
morning, $5 in greenbacks to deposit
in bank. You are master of your
SELF" he said, land without fear |
give you a position of trust at once. "
The boy set out for the bank, but
never reached it. Neither did he
ever return to his employer again.
He disappeared completely. He was
a scoundrel and thief
Thereafter, in engaging help, the
merchant was guided by references
rather than by tests.-Philadelphia

A Wonderful Electric Watch.

An invention which is likely to rev.
olutionize the Matchmaking industry
has been perfected by Swiss watch
maker named David Perret of Marin,
near Neuchatel. 1t is watch which
goes by electricity, and its special
feature is its accuracy. 1t was Sc
verely tested by experts, and it was
found that it gained only seven-tenths
of a second in five weeks. The expert
at the observatory at Neuchatel de-
clares the watch to be equal in preci-
sion to an expensive chronometer. The
watch resembles an ordinary gentle
mans lever, costing $50, and goes for
fifteen years without being rewound.

Novel Test of Death,

Horror of being buried alive is
common to the whole human race.
and from time immemorial expert
nents have been in progress with. the
view of making such a terrible fate
impossible. Some physicians main
tain that satisfactory tests can also
be made by the use of Roentgen rays,
but it is not every one who has the
facilities for making such tests,
whereas any one can make test on
the plan devised by DR.. Icard, a ply
sician of Marseilles, France. The
doctor uses fiuorescin, the we'll
known coloring material, and his eX-
periments have proved so successful
that they have won for him the ap-
proval of the French Academy of
Sciences. Fluorescin injected into the
human body produces absolutely no
effect if the body is dead, whereas it
produces most surprising effect if
the body is alive. DR.. Icard uses a
solution of it which is so strong that
sa single granme is able to color 40,-
600 quarts of water.
If little of this. solution is injec-
ted under the skin of living person
in two minutes the skin. and especial
ly the mucous membranes, will
become much >discolored and the
person will present the appearance Of
one suffering from an acute attack of
jaundice. Moreover the eyes will
become greenish color and the pupils
will almost become invisible. These
symptoms will remain for one or pos
sibly two hours and then will gra-
dually disappear. Since fuorescin
produces this effect on living body it
naturally follows, according to DIR.
Icard, that any body ON which i.
produces no effect must be dead
