A wocderful Electric Watch.

An invention which is likely to rev.
olutionize the Matchmaking industry
has been perfected by a 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
yerely 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 precl-
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
colmon to the whole human race,
and from time immemorial expert
ments 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, ply
sician of Marseilles, France. The
doctor uses fluorescin, 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 II
the body is alive. DR.. Icard uses a
solution of it which is so strong that
a single gramme is able to color 49,
900 quarts of water.
If a little of this solution is inJec-
ted under the skin Of living person
in two minutes the skin, and especial
" 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 a 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 f1uorescin
produces this effect on a living body it
naturally follows, according to DR..
Icard, that any body on which it
produces no effect must be dead

THE BOY AND THE MERCHANT
How, by sundry Tests, an Employer Sc
lected an Errand Bow.

How, by Sundry Tests, an Employer Sc
lected an Errand BOY.
A merchant prince of this city,
needing additional help, inserted the
following advertisement in morning
paper:
"Boy Wanted-$4 a 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,after a
moment, would rise with 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 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. 1 told you to keep on
reading, and you kept on, though to
test you I dropped an iron paper
weight and pl aged with a puppy
dog. III take you, therefore, into my
employ at 81 a week, and if you do as
well as l think you will your salary
will be rased to $6 week within .
MONTHS
The boy, who had an honest, open
countenance, said: 81 thank you, sir.
Mother will be glad to hear OF this
I 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, s5 in greenbacks to deposit
in bank. "You are master of your
SELF" he said, "and 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

Tha Amounting OF William ".

At the coronation Of William w.
when the archbishop was about tc
onoint him on the chest, and opened
bis robes for that purpose, the King
was discovered to be wearing under
meath his mantle q tight admlral S
uniform. A delay was caused by this,
during which the King became impa-
+iont and showed frank indifference to
strict adherence to the ritual part OF
the ceremonial. Irritability and I'M
natience were marked characteristics
of William w., and there was, more
over a thin streak of democracy IN
the composition of the very eccentric
sailor king.

Joke on Bret Harte.

JOAQUIN Miller says Bret Harte was
always disgusted with his ""Heathen
Chinee" glory, and always begged his
friends never to mention it. Once
Miller and Harte went to breakfast
with Lord Houghton in London, and
on the way Harte asked if the guests
would be likely to quote from that
awful poem. This prompted Miller
to tip Lord Houghton a wink, and the
Jolly old nobleman gave the tip to a
lot of good fellows at his table, and
they all talked nothing else. How
ever Harte soon saw through the Joke
and he never betrayed his impa,ience
on the subject again.-Rosten Herald.

In Brussels, Malines and other Bel
gian towns, novel method of not only
getting rid of smoke, but turning it
into use, has recently been employed.
The smoke is driven by ventilating
fan into filter with porous material,
over which continuous stream Of Pc
troleum, benzine, alcohol or some llq-
uid hydrocarbon flows. The result ls
that the smoke is entirely suppressed,
while the filter yields a gas OF great
calorific power, which can be used Tor
heating purposes and for driving gas
engines. The filtering material itself
also becomes a good combustible.

standard with the college.
The colleges do the teaching, what
there is of it, but always with a view
to the honors and degrees conferred
By the university. The university it.
self provides certain lectures, notably
in science, law and theology
science is not put to the front at OK
ford. But as rule the university lee
turers talk to empty benches. The
students is not really required to at
tend any lectures, not even those Civ
Ell by his own college; but he may at
tend any he likes, even those in other
colleges. In recent years the lectures
have taken a somewhat more practi-
cal and definite turn.
Formerly the favorite colleges at
Oxford were filled up several years in
advance, but for the last generation
students have been allowed to live in
their own lodgings. instead of in CON-
mons, and now student can enter any
college on short notice. 1t is hard to
say just how many students are in
attendance. as such statistics are not
made prominent by the university.
The number runs iroEi 1900 to 2O0O
perhaps-or much below that at
number of the German, French and
American universities.
The colleges hold certain examina-
tions at intervals. and students are
generally expected to pass these up
within a stated time. Specially diff
eli examinations are held for honors.
Finally the university conducts the ex-
aminations leading to the degrees
the main purpose being to make Mas
ters CT Arts.

How Indians Use Ants.

The grip Of an ants jaw is re-
tanned even after the body has been
bitten off and nothing but the head
remains. This knowledge is pos
sessed by a certain tribe Of Indians
in Brazil, who put the ants to a very
peculiar use. When an Indian gets
a cash cut in his hand, instead Of
having his hand sewed together, as
physicians do in this country, he
proeures five or six large black ants,
and, holding their heads near the
cash, they bring their jaws together
in biting the flesh and thus pull the
two sides of the cash together. Then
the Indian pinches off the bodies of
the ants and leaves the heads cling
ing to the flesh, which is held to-
gether until the cash is perfectly
healed.

Amber In Ancient Rome.

In such repute was amber in
Rome in the time Of the historian
Pliny that he remarks sarcastically,
'EThe price Of a small figure in it,
however diminutive, exceeds that Of
a living healthy slave" He OBJ
serves also, 'True it is that Q collar
Of amber beads worn about the
necks Of young infants is a singular
preseryative against secret poison
and a counter charm for witchcraft
and sorceries." He says further
that as an article of personal orna-
mentation amber was used to pro-
duce limitations Of precious stones
by artificial staining, a use to which
it was peculiarly adapted owing to
its brilliant luster, combined with
the ease with which it could be
worked and polished.
