Thinking to rid himself of further
opportunities for an assignment. the
editor said:
well, write an article on bread"
1t was trying moment for the am
bilious youngster, but he never ainch-

terial, and the next day reported to
the surprised editor with q bright and

Another Interesting Demonstration
Of the powers OF the ~Acousticon. has
been given in New York City by the
inventor, Miller Reese Hutchinsoa.
Mr.. Hutchinson selected ~ subjects
for the experiment several inmates of
the New York Institution for the IN.
struction Of Deaf and Dumb. Some
had been stricken with deafness At too
early an age to remember what the
meaning Of sound was. and one young
girl In particular almost went into
spasms Of delight when the ear-piece
was adjusted and she heard the strainc
Of music.
Mark Twain was in the little audi
ence, as was also Mrs. George Dewey,
wife of Admiral Dewey. There was
one skeptic present. He was deaf. but
had NO faith in the Invention. 80 he
asked to be put in the chair. This
was Gone and his face flushed with
surprise when he was able to distin-
guish mamma" from papa" Mr..
Hutchinson said, "Hello!" to him and
he repeated 1t.
A number Of other tests were made
and all were successful.

you were very positive in your assur.

such one."
We'll, has he proved otherwise ?"
/ Why, man, he Is drunk all of the

drawn q sober breath since he has
been with me-"
Then what are you jumping on me
for? Your own statement bears out
just what l told you about him. I

Amphiscians are the people who in.
habit the tropics, whose shadows in
one part of the year are cast to the
north and in the other to the south,
according as the sun is north or south
Of their zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants
of the earth living on different sides
of the equator, whose shadows at noon
are cast in contrary directions. Those
living north of the equator are antis.
clans, to those living south of that
line. and vice versa. The shadows on
one side are cast toward the north and
upon the other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who live
in land where, at certain time OF
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inhabitants of the tor
rid zone are Ascians, they having a
vertical sun twice a year.
The PHYSICIANS are the inhabitants
OF the polar circle. whose shadows,
during some portions of the summer,
must in the course of the day move
entirely around and falf toward every
point Of the compass.
