KING EDWARDS STRAY DOG.


Dignity, pomp and etiquette are
particularly strong points with Ed
ward VII, says London correspond
ent of the London Herald, and woe be-
tide any light-minded subject who
overlooks the smallest detail of dress
or department in the royal presence
that is, woe betide all such subjects
save one. The exception is Jack,
stray Irish terrier which strolled into
Marlborough house not long ago,
adopted the king without leave or cere-
mony, took charge of his majesty
forthwith and has helped TO run the
empire ever since.
Ii can be said without exaggeration
that no one item of the business of
the king of England gets so much at
tention daily as the care of Jack. His
food and exercise are personally SUI
pervised by his royal comrade and the
general question of his health and con-
duct are a matter of personal concern
to the king.

NEW WAY TO FIND WATER.
An electrical Device That outdoes
the wItch-HazeI wand an
Locating 1t.

Electricity has put the witch-hazel
wand and other methods of determin-
ing the presence of water under ground
out of business. Experts have patent
ed a little electrical device which tells
surely of the proximity of water, says
a Washington report. When its needle
begins to show vibrations it can be
stated positively there is water be-
meath.
Officials of the geological survey have
become so impressed with the inven-
ton that they are giving it thorough
test. The new water detector is some
thing like the seismograph used for de-
termining earthquake disturbances.
By its vibrations the presence of sub
terranean streams are not only deter
mined but the volume and direction of
the flow are also accurately recorded.
This instrument will be of great
value to the irrigator and farmer, as it
will enable him to drive his wells where
he will find water. Frequently inn
mense sums of money are expended in
drilling artesian wells. which after be-
ing Doreu huHuIeuS VI lSet are Aouhu
to be dry.
In tests made with the new electric
al device steel rods are driven a short
distance into the earth and attached to
the machine. There is an attachment
something like the telephone receiver
by which the vibrations are converted
| into sound waves. The device will not
work satisfactorily in regions where
there are volcanoes.
The officials of the geological survey
believe eventually the device can be
used to indicate the presence of oil, but
the vibrations caused by oil are not so
great as those set up by water.

VERY LARGE BANK CHECKS.
Cases wherein the Ownership of Mill
lions Is Transferred by Small
slip of Paper.

Wall street banking these days in
wolves the use of some very large
checks. Single items of s5,O00,000 or
S1O,OOO,OOO are frequently seen. and
much greater amounts are sometimes
transferred through the interchange
of a narrow slip of paper. Most of
these items are collected through the
clearinghouse, except in cases where
they are deposited in the bank on
which they are drawn, says the New
York Times.
At the time that the Third Avenue
railroad property changed hands. two
checks. aggregating s34,50O,oc0, were
given out. One of the checks. for $17,-
100000, passed through the clearing
house May &c, 1900. 1t was drawn by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. on the National city
bank, and was collected by the Bank
of Commerce for the Morton Trust
company. Another check, drawn by
the same firm for ST 100000 on the
Bank of Commerce, did not pass through
the clearinghouse, it being collected
by the Morton Trust company from the
bank direct. Previous to that, on Feb
ruary /, 1901, check for S23,127,0o0
was drawn by ]. P. Morgan & Co. on
the First national bank. That was
also collected direct without passing
through the clearinghouse. In con-
nection with the purchase of Southern
Pacific stock by the Union Pacific COM
pany, check for $14, S90,O 900 was drawn
on the Mercantile Trust company
March s. 1901. The check given fort
night ago in payment of Lake Shore
holdings of Reading stock was for S21,-
500 900, and ranks, so far as known, as
the second largest check ever used in
local banking.

knew one who brushed the hair on the
back of his head. l do not know why,
nor do know why southern boy who
has to shine his own shoes never puts
a polish on the heels. He will labor
in getting up a mirror shine on the
front of his shoes and leave his heels
untouched until they become russell in
shade.
There is another thing that you
will notice about boy who has been
raised in the south-he rarely parts
his hair in the middle. 1t is either
parted on the side or reached.
81 don't know what has become of
the boy with what we used to call the
cowlick on his hair, but at one time he
was very numerous. haven't seen a
boy with a cowlick since the war, but

HEAD DEADLY WEAPON.
So Declared by a West Virginia
Judge I'm "a Case of Assault
and battery.

According to a ruling in the circuit
court at WEIGH. Mcdowell county, w.
Va, a negro's head is considered "a
dangerous and deadly weapon" says
report from that section. Frank Mar
tin brought suit for $4,000 against
James Knox, a prominent attorney at
WEIGH. for damages sustained by being
pounded with a pair of steel knucks.
Martin is a colored man and has head
Of abnormal proportions. The testi-
mony in the case was that Martin be-
came incensed at the attorney, while
the latter was in his place of business.
and that the negro bowed low and
started to "butt'' the attorney out of
his shop.
The attorney swore on the stand that
he regarded the negro's head as "a dan
gerous and deadly weapon" and that
to defend himself and probably save his
life he dealt him few blows with steel
knucks. Evidence was adduced which
went to show that Martin had at differ
ent times "butted' people out of his
shop. The judge gave verdict in
favor of the defendant, ruling that I'M
der the circumstances he regarded the
Negroes head as dangerous and dead
ly weapon" and that the attorney act
ed in self-defenSe.

PAY OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.

"The people have done more for the
teachers of New York city than has
been done for any body of teachers in
the world" writes Prof. McAndrew,
principal of the girls high school, in
the Worlds Work.
AS for teachers in general, the rec
ord is usually after this fashion:
Crates, of Mallos, was the first to
teach grammar in Rome Having had
the misfortune TO fall into a sewer,
thus breaking his leg, he was thence
forward considered good for nothing
but to be a teacher"
Horace mentions Orbillius, the most
famous teacher of his time, only to
confer on him an immortality of con-
tempt.
The first American schoolmasters,
say the historians of education, were
also grave-diggers. street-sweepers,
and were employed in other occupa-
tions similarly looked down upon.
Maine, in cities of more than 5000 in
habitants, pays teachers s44s year
upon the average.
The cities of this state pay 1868 to the
average teacher; the cities of Massa.
chusetts, SIPS year; the cities OF
Pennsylvania, s52s. In the latter state
as whole, women average 1904.

THE AZTEC CALENDAR.
Curious Relic I'm the City of Mexico
That Was Carved over Four
Centuries Ago.

One of the curiosities of all ages is
built in the wall of the cathedral in
the City of Mexico. 1t is the Aztec
calendar, carved in 1912. While being
carted to its destination it broke down
a bridge and fell to the bottom of the
lake in which the city was built, kill
ing priests and people. With great
difficulty it was raised out of the wa
ter. With other objects of heather
worship it was afterward buried in the
marsh, as the best way to get rid of it,
and there it lay hidden for two CEN
turtles. In 1890 the Spanish viceroy al
lowed it to be built into the cathedral
on condition that it should be pre-
served and exposed always in public
place. 1t is now, however, held as the
property of the National museum, says
the New York Press.
The Aztec calendar is solid piece of
stone, ~ feet in diameter. 1t divides
time into cycles, years and days. Fifty
two years constitute cycle; the year
365 days, with five intercalary days
wholly devoted to human sacrifices.
Each year had is months of 20 days
each, and each month four weeks of
five days each. The days had such
names as Sea Animal, Small Bird,
Monkey. Rain, etc, and each of the 20
days had different name. The points
of the compass were named Reed.
House, Flint and Rabbit, instead of
east, west, north and south. When an
Aztec said: Il am going House on Sea
Animal" he meant that he was start
ing west on Monday. The month OF
March was called Victims Flayed Alive,
while July's title was Garlands of Corn
on the necks of Idols.
