HAD WHISTLES. - SELL.
Crusty Old Man Bought Cne Of the
Boy to Suppress Noise.

1t was on a Swarthmore trolley car,
and among the passengers were lot
Of youngsters with baskets and ham
mocks, out for a days fun. One ri
the lot was boy about 5 years old,
dressed in full navy uniform. Sus-
pended from his 1eck was whistle
that cost perhaps ! or 9 cents. But
the boy belind tIe whistle was
enough to raise the G5ad. An old
man sitting opposite stood it for quite
a while, but at last, to stop the noise.
he offered the young marine 10 cents
for the whistle. and the sale was
made and goods delivered.
The boy looked at the two nickels
for while with staring eyes. clipped
them into his pocket and was quiet
ard apparently in deep thought for
perhaps ninety seconds. Then he
reached in his pocket and pulled out
another whistle, a mate to the first,
and started in where he had left off,
with one eye on the old man. After
he had got red and purple and tired
from blowing, he said:
Say, mister, do you want to buy
another one?"
The old man stopped the car and
got off at the next cross road, says

With Foreign Scientists.

Jean Maumus recently ligatured the
end of the vermiform appendix Of
monkeys. Dissection after 90 days
showed that nature was defending
the menaced organ by circumscribing
adherences and encystment.
Herr Bachaus, of the Agricultural
Institute of koenigsburg University,
after experiments in feeding COWS on
different foods, concludes that the
flavor of milk depends more on the
peculiarities OF the animal than on the
vegetables eaten.
NJ. Preyes writing in the Revue de
Psychiatre, finds that of the trans
verse markings on finger nails normal
persons have only 10 per cent, where
as degenerates of all sorts have from
four to seven times that amount.
Critics of these statistics point out
that the markings vary with the physi.
cal conoition of 'he subject.

Ozark Light"

Some five years ago M. lie Bon an
nounced that when light fell on one
side of certain bodies-a thin metal
place, for instance-the other, unillu-
minated side of the plate gave out
non-illuminous radiations, which were
later shown to be identical with cath
ode rays and which are now believed
to be made up Of elements of atoms
carrying an electric charge. The ra
diations, says Popular Science News,
are analogous to the X-rays and to the
rays of radium, and traverse thin
plate of meta freely and discharge
electrified bodies in their path. Sim
liar efIluvia are produced ina great
number of chemical reactions, and the
phenomenon is, in fact, one of the
most common in nature.

Nearly a century before the Dutch
sailors, lie Marie and Van Schouten,
in 1916 sailed round the cape. Masel-
Ian in 1920 had pushed his way
through the straits bearing his name
and become the first to find a west
ern way from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc.
But the straits of Magellan. tortu-
Gus, windy and narrowing in places to-
the width of mile or so, involve such
great difficulties that in general only
steam vessels attempt them. The
United States battleship Oregon wes
brought through those waters in 1893,
on her memorable voyage from tie
western coast: but powerful steam
ships are often beaten back and de-
layed by the terrific gales encountered
in the narrow passage.
And in all, the life OF tie deepwa,ur
sailor will be much easier when he has
no longer to reckon with the strai,s
ana the cape. Neither of them offers
such route as man would choose
for a holiday journey.

ter to hold the latter open when
thrown back, and to close the shutters
by hand it is only necessary to pull
the cord which hangs beneath the left
shutter. when the spring hinge will
perform its part. At the same time
the connecting rod over the window
releases the opposite catch and allows
the second blind to close over the
first. To accomplish this result auto
matically under the heat of the flames,
a fusible link or ring is used in CON
nection with the fastening of the first
or left shutter, and the melting of this
ring permits the spring hinges to
close the blinds in turn before the
heat has reached the point of danger
to the contents of the building.
