From eight o'clock in the morning

During these hours there are, Of course,
5000 typewriter girls busily hammer

Uncle Sam is the largest employer Of

the British association last met in
Edinburgh the royal scientist drew
large audiences to hear his accounts of
his experiments upon the routes fol-

selves, as distinguished from the voy-
ayers upon them. The gambler at
Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve

La Figaro Of Paris states that the
members Of the Jockey club Of that
city have a serious affair to settle with
Leopold u Of Belgium on his next Wis

cur toward the end Of the present

was last there, in February, he dined at
the club on a ''canard aux navets,"
which he pronounced to be the finest
ne had ever eaten, and the next day the
chef Of the club disappeared. It was
later learned that he had been kid
mapped by the Belgian monarch and is
now IN charge Of the royal kitchens
at Laehen. Then the Jockey club met
and resolved some disagreeable things
about the old Royal rOue, with more

BOARD ON HOUSEHOLDS.
Accommodation offered New York
erS who Like to Live on
the water.

The fact that board can now be GOT
on housebOats near New York puts the
bachelor maid and the single man
bOarder in a position TO test a new
order of domestic accommodation
says the New York Sun.
Two sorts of hOuseboats offer sum-
mer accommodations to boarders
First, there is the boat of comparative
lyPrimitive description, which does not
rent for a large sum, on which the
bOarder gets merely a berth and a
locker, and all the furnishings in the
various departments are Of the sim
plest and plainest.
Then there is the housebOat Of biVh
class English pattern, with all modern
house eOnveniences, antique fittings,
library, stateroOms, etc, and liberal
amount Of deck room. The rates Of
board on the two kinds correspond
with the accommodation offered.
The water facilities for houseboatiu1
within 25 miles Of New York are such
as to arouse enthusiasm for this sort
Of summer lodging.
Doubtless in addition to houseboat
boarding colonies there will soon be
housebOats offering furnished rooms
and apartments to the public and
Others making a speciality Of providing
meals for the neighbOring rOOmers.

AN EAR FOR MUSIC.
UaeOaseIous Relations That Exist Re-
tween Musical Art and the
Human OFEanism.

According to q new theory advanced
BY Fere and Jaell, two French investi-
gators, the influence Of musical tones
and intervals on the physical organism
Is exactly the same with all persons,
says Success. The only difference be-
tween a musical and an unmusical per-
son IL that the former is able torealize
the esthetic relations Of these reac-
tons, while the other is not. Bymeans
Of Mosso's "ergograph," a sensitive de-
vice by which the exciting or depress-
ing effect Of any influence on the or
ganism can be measured, the expert
mentors have ascertained which are
stimulating combinations Of sounds
and which are depressing ones.
Thus they find that discord has Just
the same depressing physical effect on
a person who "has no ear" as on one
who is exquiEitely sensitive to tones.
These experiments seem to prove"
says the writers, shat our musical cul-
ture makes more and more perceptible
to us the unconscious relations that
exist between musical art and the hui
man organism"

''They eat the lobster entire when
they find one that has Just shed its

and then destroy Il even when Il is in

for instance, might come across lob

so partially disable il.
''The lobster Is agile, a quick and
long jumper through the water, but
the Blacklist Is quicker and II can east

abled, IL quickly finishes It. In this
way a Blacklist might get away with
lobster of considerable size.
"The Goldfish gets many-very likely
the Goldfish knows the haunts Of the
lobster better than men do. The skate,
clumsy as IL is, gets some; IL il can
blanket a lobster, get one Of its big
hap-like pectoral fms over IL, the skate
gradually works the lobster up to its

The skate gets crabs in the same man
