WOMAN AND THE RAT.
How Heartless Man Cracked Cruel
Joke.

How a Heartless Man Cracked Cruel
Joke.
The great horror that every woman
is supposed to feel at the sight OF
rat is more truth than imagination, as
shown by little incident that occur
red at Piedmont Station when a large
crowd of people were waiting for the
st. Johns motor. Quite number of
women were sitting on the bench wait
ing for the car, when one of the men
standing by determined to have some
fun at their expense.
Giving some of the bystanders
sly wink, he commenced to look in
tently at the feet of the women, and
after he had attracted attention of
some of them, he turned to a man
standing by him and said: rs tat
tame rat? never saw wild one so
tame" at the same time pointing I'm
der the bench upon which the women
were sitting.
The man was in the mood for joke
and was just preparing to say some
thing that would tend to startle them
If the rule would hold good but his
remark was needed. The women had
heard the word rat, and hat was
enough. At first they did not seem
to realize thoroughly the great danger
that they were in, and one Of them be-
gan to lock under the seat rather eau
tiously.
awbere is the rat?" asked she
rat! Rat!" re-echoed the women
and as they commenced to realize
the situation the air was soon filled
/ with screams, and they all fed frantic
1 ally from the place, while the mer
stood back and enjoyed a good laugh
/ It is useless to say how they greeted
the announcement that there was Nc
rat, and that the scare was all i'm
aginary. "-Oregonian.

So many tears have been shed over
the passing of the buffalo that it is
soemthing of a surprise to find that
these great beasts have actually in
creased in numbers during the past
year fuller returns collected by the
1901 there were living in the United
States less than eight hundred; this
year fuller returns collected by the
Department of the Interior report
1.143. Of course, this means tame or
partly domesticated bison. and, in
deed the 70 running wild" in the yell
lowstone National PARK have quasi
domesticated character Only Canada,
with 500 roaming west of the Great
Slave Lake, can fairly be sa-4 to pos
gess a herd. But when one considers
that in Montana there are 366, in New
Hampshire (the Corbin reservation)
10. in South Dakota 81; all on priv
ate ranges, and although subject to
some disadvantage from inbreeding,
normally, It will be seen that the case
of the buffalo is much more hopeful
than that of the great aux or Of tbs
vanished dodo.

Some French naval experts are re-
ported to have evolved a process
whereby petroleum is made semi
solid, mixed with coaldust, ana pressed
into briqusttes. It is claimed that a
splendid fuel is thus produced, and
among its advantages are economy and
the ahyence Of dust or ashes. One
brick, It is said, generates the heat Of
four times its weight of anthracite
coal.

A connection between thunderstorms
and the moons phases is now claimed
by meteoFologists. Some months ago
greater frequency of such storms
at new moon than at full moon was no
ticed in the records at Greenwich fol
IL years, and from other inquiry 1t
appears that Madrid observations for
20 years give similar evidence. The
| Spanish records show 20 percent OF
the thunderstorms near new moon,
22.S near first quarter. 21.8 near full
moon, and 26.4 near last quarter,
The prominence volcanic forces
have had in all time and in all places
is we'll illustrated in a recent paper
by Professor ]. w. Gregory, present
ed to the Royal Society Of Victoria.
The author gives an account of the
geology Of Mt. Macedon, an isolated
mountain ridge, which, though Az
miles distant, is one of the most con
spicuous features in the views from
| Melbourne. 1t consists of a volcanic
pile resting on Ordovician rocks. The
igneous outbursts may have com
menced in late Cretaceous times, but
there is no certain proof The noun
tain, however probably marks the be-
ginning of the great period Of vol
canic activity Of which the last erup'
tions built up still existing craters,
and of which records are preserved

igines.
DR.. H. A. Hare has recently been
experimenting with the treatment sug'
gested by Lott of the drug habit. 1t
consists of large and repeated doses
of hyoscine. He found that the pa
tents could take as much as one
quarter of grain each day without
any dangerous effects. They suffer
very little discomfort from the with
drawal of the morphine and the de
sire for the drug very soon disappears
He reports several cases in which he
has used the drug with marked sue
cess. One Of his patients-not only
a slave to morphine, but also of aico
hol-is at present rapidly progressing
toward a permanent cure. Hyoscin'
