Albinism, states E. Herriot. may be
 traced back more than four centuries
 before Christ. when 1t was described as
 existing in India, but until the end of
 the seventeenth century 1t was regard ed as a condition of the skin. Sachs himself an aIbino-and others have shown
 that it is caused by absence of iron
 in the lower skin. In man 1t is most common among blacks. The white albi- no has skin of peculiar pallor, hemp colored hair, a Tose-colored iris and a red pupil; the negro in some cases has a skin as white as milk. while in oth- CTS. 1t resembles wax. and the hair is pale blonde. yellow. orange or even red Albinism has been recorded in seventy nine mammals. including horses, rabbits and mice. Numerous examples are found among birds. the white blackbird being no myth. and 1t Is often observed among fishes. reptiles and batrachians It takes two forms in plants. In one the leaves are affected. producing monstrosities of variegated colors. and the other mani fests itself in the corolla. There are al- binos also among fruits such as the rapsberry, strawberry and gOoseberry.
 Attention has been called by E. Bohn to two new forms of incandescent lamps. In both. the lower half of the bulb is huted glass. which. acting as a row of lenses, concentrates the light downwards and gives the special advantage of strong directly beneath the lamp. One form has the ordinary filament with the upper half of the bulb of opal glass. while the other has a zigZag horizontal filament and a top of clear glass

 Women is queer all around. De kid had done good woik; learned how to take care of himself; and to make change; made money. and had good time; but all dat was noting to Duchess. He'd lost his dude langwudge, and a diamond ring wouldn't been no set-of against dat. She likes money as veil as de next French goil; I tink she's bit stuck on me: know dat sine ssears by Miss Fannie. but all de poodle and folks in de woild-including yours truly-isn't in de proposition Q little bit aongside of de way Duchess wants to see oat kid a swell for fair. found out dat she was only jollying. even when she talked about 'prenticing him to de huspand of her fren Julie, who keeps de re,taurant.
 Duchess wouldn't hear to De kid going back to de old lady's but fetches him along wit us up to de place dn de Sound: for Miss Fannie lets us have de little one up dere when we wants. and he eats wit us. in de housekeeper's spom. Duch ess had a long pow-pow wit Miss Fan nie about de game dat night and Miss Fannie was as interested as if it was her own kid dat had lost her h. Den Mir. Paul was took into de caucus, and den I was sent for: and before we vas settled dere was more gulf aad gas about de proposition dan if de kid had lest his head instead of his t h. Miss Fannie votes dat de youngster should be sent to a swell little school dat Is kept for de kids of de smart set folks while de di- voice judges Is making up deir minds wedder de naodders or de ladders is de best one to have de kids. But Duchess baked. She said she didn't want de kid in school where inc would get de woise of it because his parents was house sol wants.
 Den Mr. Paul settles at. He said dat he would enter kiddie as de son of a fren' of his. Dat wouldn't go in most schools. but in dis school dere was many 8 kid dat de school teachers didn't know who its pa and ma was. All dat was wanted was dat de pas and mas was respectable. and would pay de bills. As to responsibility, says MT. Paul. "I tink dis cubs parents could give cards to many of em. and show to de good at dat.
 So we Is to be let to keep Little Duke with us until de school opens. and den MT. Paul is to enter him, and see dat he has a fair crack at his h. But what's worrying me is what will be doing when some silk haired youngster gives little Master Fadden any back talk.

Even his English Is like MT. Paul's. already; and l never let de neighbors hear him talk Tor Tear of de shame dey'd put on me Tor being de grandmother of a dude"
 It's de trute your modder is saying, Chimmie' says Murphy. You could come pack to de ould war-rd and be a Pre- cinct Captain yerself. but yer own son couldn't get pushcart Mcence in de war-rd wit all dis jude Iangwudge he do be learning. Lave de lad go to Park Row and sell papes for a year. and he'll be as good an American as any of us. Remember how worser dan a toot less child 1t Is to cherish a snake fin de bosom of de family, as Saint Patrick says, rest his sowl.'
 Dat was a pretty strong argument. for fail. r.and says to Duchess we'd better be letting de kid get little learning. in stead of boddering his conk wit all de foolish tings she and de swell Mission teacher was putting into him.
