Princess Marie, wife of Prince Wal
demar. born princess of Orleans. is
.reputed. no-"adays, to be the chief
confidant OF We King of Denmark,
who. like so ~ more. Is highly i'm.
pressed with q cleverness of the
lady Endles ,e the stories which
are told of { Princess Marie. her
! brightness an interest she takes
In political mi In fact. nothing
seems to escai " notice.
She reads the papers with care. ana
now and again she sends for an editor
: and asks him TO alter his views. If they
do not coincide with hers.
One of the prettiest stories told Of
the Princess Marie is Connected with
the United States. A new American
war ship, one fine day. steamed gaily
into the harbor of Copenhagen and
was the subject of much interest. The
United States representative, thinking
IL would give pleasure, arranged for
members of the royal family to go
aboard this particular pride of the
American navy.
One of the very first to avail her
self of this opportunity was, of course,
Princess Marie. Well, Her Highness
caught hold of the captain, who was
delighted at finding so clever and viva
cious titled visitor to act as guide
for.
Nothing tired the Princess. She must
see everything. And, to quote the
words of one who was there, Her
Royal Highness went everywhere.
Finally she found her way to the lock-
up, and there she found a lot of jolly
tars had been celebrating the evening
before into joyous a fashion, had got
themselves into trouble. failed to turn
up from liberty" at the proper time
and had been brought home by the
marines.
The usual punishment for this by no
means unusual sailors escapade
meant that tpey were put in irons. and
this accompanied by a very meagre
diet.
When the Princess Marie saw the
poor Jackies and had heard the story
of how they came to such a pitiable
position. she forthwith pleaded so elo-
quently for their release that the cap.
tain had nothing left to do but set
them free. And you may imagine how
quickly the story flew round and how
popular the Princess was with every
man aboard the man-of-war from that
moment out.-New York Herald.

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences, with the aid of a
brilliant experiment, that the blue
color of the sky Is owing to floating
particles of invisible dust. that break
up and scatter the short waves. which
are the blue waves of light. This, as
recent writer in knowledge shows,
occurs principally at great eleya'
tion, where the atmospheric dust Is
extremely fine. while in the lower re-
gions Of the air. where the dust is
coarser, the scattering affects all
the rays or colors alike. The bril-
liant fringes of clouds, seen nearly in
the direction of the sun, are largely
due to dust, which especially accumu'
lates In the neighborhood of clouds,
and refracts the sunlight around their
edges.

NJ. Thoulet has shown by expert
ments that in fresh wa,er fragments
of pumice of the size of grain of
wheat sink at the end of two or three
days. while fragments of the size of
a walnut require two or three months
before they become waterlogged.
These experiments he has lately re.
peated with salt water of density
of 1924 at 81 degrees centigrade, and
his results indicate that II the frag-
ments of pumice found on the ocean
bed were of subaerial formation they
must have floated for incredibly long
periods, and he attributes the great
majority of such fragments to sub
marine volcanoes and concludes that
the pumice has never foated at the
surface at all.

The transpanting of big trees on
the worlds fair site at st. Louis Is an
interesting work. A deep trench is
cut around the tree four or five feet
from its base. and the earth dug away
beneath. Then huge truck is backed
up to the tree and securely fastened.
then tipped over on the truck and an
other pair of wheels attached in front.
Then with sufficient teams to pull the
heavy load the tree is drawn to the
place where wanted and restored to
an upright position. Much care Is re-
quired In the work, and the trees will
receive constant attention until again

Heat exercises a powerful influence
on rocks deeply buried below the
earth's surface, chiefly by means of
heated water and steam. In this way
rocks have been very much altered or
"metamorphosed The crystalline

their present state by a series of
chemical changes due to heat. and
