An Expensive sheep.

Many people make it rule to retain
any stray dog or cat or, indeed, any
stray animal that may come to them.
In France this is a dangerous thing to
do. Some time ago a farmer living at
LoZcre, near Paris, took in n sheep
that had strayed on to his land, and in
due course branded the sheep with his
initials. Later on the real owner OF
the stray sheep turned up and demand
ed the animal back. The farmer who
had adopted the sheep as his own
stoutly refused to comply with this re-
quest. Then trouble ensued. The
owner of the lost sheep was a tena-
cious and persevering man, and he
went to law over the matter He
fought the matter out in three differ
cnt law courts and eventually won his
case. He got his sheep back and the
other farmer had to pay bill OF costs
amounting to S3500-The Tatler.

" That Awful Bow

A well-known family of the northern
wards, says the Troy Times. had as
their guest at the supper table few
evenings ago little niece, maiden
of five years old or thereabouts. As
usual, the topic of the lawful badnessT
of Mays little brother was taken up.
Unexpectedly she agreed in the "bad
boys" arraignmcnt, for he had been
on plundering expedition through her
toys recently. Finally some one sug-
gested that he would smash even an
iron doll" But here May hesitated.
She was aware that iron could not be
included in Georges list of materials
capable of destruction, yet she re-
GREETED to lose the opportunity Of show
ing some more of his "badness.' A
pensive moment followed, and en-
circling the table with her wistful blue
eyes she at length said hesitatingly:
"Well, if he wouldn't break the iron
doll, he would put a good dent in it."

Several months ago in the work of
exploration which has been going on
in the Roman Forum two ancient
tombs Of the prehistoric period were
unearthed. Lately two more of prob
ably the same epoch We're found, the
epoch being the eighth century before
the founding of the city. One of these
tomLs contained what was probably
the remains of child, In both of them
We're urns which contained ashes,
showing that at that period both in
humation and cremation were prac-
tised. These four tombs are among
the most interesting finds that have
been made in Rome.

A story is told of former Chinese
Minister Wu's declaration that Chinese
humor resembled American humor
Pressed for an example of this, Wu
told the following story:
'There was once n Chinese doctor
who didn't satisfy his patient. The
slcker the patient grew the more in
dignant his friends became at the uhS
successful physician. At last, whent
the sick man was in the final stage
and death was imminent, the relatives
laid violent hands on the unfortunate
doctor, and, tying him up TO a tree.
started TO administer smart beating.
But while his assailants We're looking
for a stick with which to beat him,
the doctor freed himself and, jumping
into the river, swan to safety When
he reached home he found his son,
who was studying to be n physician,
poring over book on medicine. Put
it up, put it up; shut it up said the
doctor, grimly; the first requisite of n
doctor is to know how to swim, not
to cure New York Tribune.

Electrolysis is now recognized cs a

examination of the cruiser Brooklyn
showed that the electric currents M
troduced into the ship for various pur-
poses had practically rotted the false
bottom, necessitating extensive re-
pairs.
The weight of the carriage has been
greatly reduced and the comfort OF
the occupant enhanced by the use OF
metal in the manufacture of pleasure
vehicles. The first of these have been
turned out by the Paris builders. The
weight has been reduced by about a
quarter.
The fuel value of our different kinds
of native wood have been figured out
as follows: Shellbark hickory, 100;
pignut hickory, %; white oak, 81;
white ash, II; dogwood, 70; scrub oak,
67: white beech, 60; black birch, G2;'
yellow oak, 80; hard maple, SO; white ,
elm, IS; red cedar, So; wild cherry
So; yellow pine, 81; chestnut, 52; vel
low poplar, 81; butternut and white
birch, 43: white pine, 80. The nature
of the soil on which a tree grows also
has much to do with its fuel value.
The tremendous power eXerted by
water in violent motion is well shown
by some experiments carried out by
English engineers to determine the
stress eXerted upon the foundations of
n lighthouse. Thomas Stevenson dis
covered that at Skerryvore and Evil
Rock Dressures of 60S3 pounds per
square foot and 3013 pounds, respect
lively, were to be encountered in ordi-
nary weather. This is about forty
two pounds per square inch, and is
doubtless much exceeded in severe
storms.
By new German invention adopted
by an English firm bricks will be made
by machinery at the rate of 10000 per
day, as against the 1000 to 5000 per
day made by molder. The bricks
will be artiicially dried in twenty
four hours, as against the three to five
weeks by the ordinary open-air drying.
while it will be possible to make them
all the year round, instead of only six
months in the summer. The system
was investigated by large number Of
experts, and it is believed that its per-
manent introduction will result i'll a
considerable reduction in the price Of
bricks.
Professor Henry T. Eddy, of the
University of Minnesota, described at
the Pittsburg meeting of the American
Association an invention of DR.. S. A.
Hageman, of interest TO musicians.
1t is a pianoforte which renders the
diatonic scale in perfectly just intona-
tlon in any desired key 1t differs ~
outward appearance from an ordinary
piano only in having, in addition to the
usual pedals, n bank of single octave
somewhat like organ pedals, which ac-
tuatc a bank of sliding bars, and
these, in turn, move the bridges on
which the strings rest, and adjust
them simultaneously to any key. This
Professor Eddy believes to be the first
practical solution of the A-roblem of
just intonation FOR Instruments with
fixed keys.
