Pat Tod Him.

An astronomer was trying to explain
TO an Irishman that the earth was
round: but Pat could not understand
how If could be possible. After some
discussion the astronomer said:
"Now where does the sun rise"
"In the east" said Pat
"And where does the sun setT' In
ouired the astronomer
"shure, sar, in the west"
"Then how does the sun manage TO
get back again to the east|
Pat scratched his head for few min
,tos and looked perplexed. At last his
face lighted up, and he shouted quite
triumphantly;
"shure, sar, it slips back In the
dark"

Reviying Ancient Papyrus.

Papyrus, supposed by many to be an
extinct plant, nevertheless does exist
In some of the lake margins of lower
Egypt, and occasionally is found else
where, as, for example, in the famous
mountain of Arethusa, in Sicily.
Whether this be the real payrus anti
quorum from which the paper of Egypt
and Greece was made, or the papyrus
corymbosus, abundant in India, and
used for mats, is not so sure. But why
should not the papyrus be added to our
paper stock resources? 1t could prob
ably be domesticated in Florida
swamps and Louisiana bayous, says
the Springfield Republican. Moreover,
it might be planted in the vast marshes
of the Amazon system. Something
must be done to insure the constant
supply of paper; the forests of spruce
and poplar are not going to last for
ever under the drain of the pulp mills,
and attention should be turned to the
rank marsh grasses and sedges, among
which there must be many which are
capable of use, and so of cultivation.
II NAV prove mistake to drain and
bury all our marshes, even in the
north; and the apparently irreclaim-
able gulf inlets, swamps and ever
glades might well be experimental
with by cultivating papyrus. The
popyri that are found are brittle, after
some thousands of years, but 1t is
rosslble that the resources of chem
istrv NAV better that tendency. At all
events. why is it not worth trying?

Within the last two years American
cash to the amount of 100000, 900
has been invested in mining and indus
trial enterprises Of Northern Mexico,
according to the report of United States
Consul Hanna at Monterey. The Con-
sui reports that investment money is
still coming over the border at the rate
of $100,0OOO0O a year. These an
nOuncements will carry surprise with
them to those who have not closely fol
lowed the movements of American cap
ital in seeking newly profitable fields.
An effect upon Mexican prosperity of
the incoming money and energy may
undoubtedly be read in the increase
of the export trade from $14S, 453, ,S34 in
1889 to $15s,247, 1888 in 1904 growth
of nearly eight per cent.

Of business in London, says the CORES
pondent of the New York Herald, was
brought to my notice the other day.
A young American came to London
on his way to the Argentine Republic
for his health. He noticed how far be-
hind advertising methods We're COM
pared to those in vogue in America,
and on inquiry learned that the cards
in omnibuses and cars are never
changed during an entire year. He
called ON several of the largest adver-
tising agents, submitted the idea of
frequent change and offered to develop
it for percentage. The manager of
one concern looked bored and said:
1--WE were asked by a certain COM
pany in the United States to change
their advertisement at least quarterly.
But when we submitted the propo-
sition to our directors they agreed that
it was too much trouble"
