A Few years Aso we haiied the ad

A few years ago we hailed the ad-
vent Of the German carp with open
arms. but today we are lamentina the
fact that they were brought to this
country. In Wisconsin the fish war
dens have begun to try and clear them
out Of the waters Of the state, but II
ia almost hopeless task. The Ger
man carp is not what We thought he
would be. He lives almost entirely
OH vegetable matter, with the result
that the moss. pond lilies aud other
growth have been almost entire ly
eaten up, thus destroying the protec-
tion to young game fish. The latter
are fast disappearing and the carp are
multiplying at frlghtful rate. Most
people have a prejudice against carp
and will not eat them. and the public
in general are beginning to regret the
day they were introduced into our
streams.

RAILWAY MILEPOSTS.
They Are of Use In Locating Accf-
dents Along the Road.


"Win you explain just the practical
benefit of mileposts along a railroad
trackY" asked an inquisitive traveller OF
the superintendent as they flew past
one OF the white painted posts.
80 far as the general public is con-
cerned," replied the superintendent, Il
don't suppose that mlleposts are OF any
particular benefit. The traveller can tell
by looking out of the car window how
far he is from the terminal points, but
IN that he is not greatly interested.
Some people like to figure out from
the mileposts how far they have trav-
lied or how far they have to go, and
there are not few who like to time
the speed of trains by the mileposts.
But that is not what the posts are for.
In the office OF the division superin-
tendent is a profile or diagram showing
the location Of every one Of these posts.
"If an accident occurs. rail breaks,
a car let's down or anything out OK the
ordinary happens between stations the
superintendent Is notified OF the prex-
unity of the mishap TO some particular
milepost, and thus the spot can be To-
Gated, and men are sent there at once,
and they can 20 in hurry, for they
know where the place Is. Otherwise
they would have to move slowly be
tween stations until the spot was found
and this means a loss Of time much
more valuable than the price OF the
mileposts. and 1t would be pretty hard
to railroad successfully without them"

The Gloomy Sentrtes.

To and fro march the sentries In
front Of Buckingham palace, meeting
face to face for a moment and then
separating without word, as If their
feud were too deep for speech. This
spectacle is watched with sympathetic
interest by American visitors, who oc-
casionally intervene. The sentries were
glaring at each other one morning when
a stranger standing close by remarked,
Come, boys, make it up" Another
American proposed to heal the breach
with a little friendly conversation.
Say, does your king live here" he
opened genially. The two sentries
stared impassively and then resumed
their tramp. Up came policeman.
Can l tell you anything, sir" said he.
YES" answered the American. Tell
me why these young hearts are silent
and sore. Anyhow, why can't they
whistle, We never speak when we pass

Utilizing the Cat.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that Il woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand In her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more OF the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up In
her parlor-the parlor IS directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin OF
the defective washstand she poured n
vial of the oil of valeriah. Cats are ex-
cessively fond of the odor Of valerian.
cat would rather inhale this odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk womans
cat after 1t had been in the parlor a
few minutes began to pur. Purring, 1t
crossed the ROOM 1t settled Itself on
the floor with its face to one spot on
the wall, and here its mistress found 1t
when she came downstairs, its nose
glued to the spot, smiling and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough. the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trickled
through, imparting It's intoxicating
odor to the Philadelphia Record.

The Elusive Lead Pencils.

What becomes of the lead pencils Is
as insolvable a problem as what be-

I'D lead pencils; no one drinks them, so

one Of those admirable people who
keep Journals and cash accounts and
who usually carry q sort Of penholder
Arrangement in which they insert a
half length pencil and go on and on
using it and sharpening it until 1t is all
gone. Very few people ever get pencils
worn down as far as half length
They disappear before that stage Is
reached. What becomes of them all?
Hundreds of thousands Of them annu-
ally are lent to young children and
never seen again, but what do the chill
dren do with them? Do they eat them
up? Possibly.
Everybody has seen lead pencils the
upper end of which have been chewed
into brush, but children do not pos
sess such ostrich stomachs as would
enable them to consume all the pencils
that disappear.

Curiosities About Dentistry.

Those who imagine that the care Of
the teeth and the replacement OF the
natural grinders with false ones Is
something new under the sun" may
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made Of ivory, placed on
plates Of the same material and held
together and in place by gold wires and
rivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus, 1.-The father Of history" tells
us that the Egyptians Of the fifth dy-
nasty understood the diseases Of the
teeth and their treatment There are
several passages In history to lead one
to the belief that both Caesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date Of the introduction OF false
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known in England as early al
least as the time Of the discovery OF
America. 1.-The Mathematical Jewel
published In 1886, contains an account
Of Sir John Balgrave. who caused all
of hys teethe to be drawne out and aft
er had a sett of ivory teethe in agayne."

TRAGEDY OF AN INSECT.
The Sand Fly Lives but Day AFTER
Coming Into the Light.

The Sand Fly Lives but n Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here is the tragic story Of the sand
fly:
II has but day to live in the light.
In order to earn the right to that DAY
Of life II lives from one to three years
in darkness. down in the mud at the
bottom of lakes or rivers. Moreover
the sand fly is perfectly harmless. 1t
does not bite. 1t has no sting. IT can
not even eat. All 1t can do is TO hit
about for few hours, enjoying the
Night of day or the glare OF an electric
lamp.
The sand fly is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms it is called ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for day To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most interesting and
beautiful of insects.
The fly lives but a day at most, but
before II sees the light 1t has lived for
from one to three years under the wa
ter In the form of what the scientists
call n nymph. This nymph can both
walk and swim. AS 1t grows 1t molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on Its thorax. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty-to lay its eggs. This
done. the sand fly zigzags through the
air until its brief life is ended.-Chicago
