NEEDED SCIENTIFIC REFORM
Men Trained to Precision in Observa- tiOn and Utterance Should
 Learn PunctRality.

With the latest opening of the season of medical. electrical and other scien- tific conferences, .a familiar character istic of such meetings is brought into fresh prominence. says the New York Tribune. The members are rarely called to order untiT ten or fifteen min utes after the appointed time, Not in- frequently the delay is greater. Similar tardiness may be observed in formally opening the proceedings of charitable and social organization, and such laxity is not without its drawbacks. Comment is confined heTe,b however, to the group of gatherings first named, because a lack of punSEaaltty among scientific people is, after fashion, inconsistent with that exactness of thought and statement which the world expects from them and on which they occasion ally pride themselves. Men who are trained to precision in observation and utterance might reasonably be expect ed to be exceptionally scrupulous in keeping engagements. Any shortcou- ings in this respect become even more conspicuous when a comparison is made with the pronptness with which bank directors meetings and church services begin, toesay nothing of the aters and symphony, concerts.

THE SEA OF SAHARA.
T0 Convert Desert Into a Lake the Gigantic and Pleasing Dream
 of French Engineers.

French engineers have, declared it is perfectly feasible to convert the desert of Sahara into a vastflake, thus open ing to commerce great regions of the interior of Africa which can now only be reached by long, tedious and dan gerous caravan journeys, says London Answers They say that large DOT ton of the desert lies below the level of the Atlantic, and that by digging 8 canal to let in the waters of the ocean the great change could be effected easily, and at cost which would be small compared to the benefits which would accrue
 If the whole desert lay below the level of the Atlantic, the flooding of 1t would create a sea more than four times as big as the Mediterranean; but, as the Sahara is composed of ele- vated plateaux, mountain ranges and depressions, only part would be cov- cred with water when the waves of the ocean were let in, and the new sea thus formed would be an irregular body of water, probably of about the same size as the Mediterranean. Great commercial cities would at once spring up on it's shores, and trade and civil ization strike at once to --e heart of Africa The sea of Sahara may never become a reality, but, in any event, 1t is a gigantic and pleasing dream.

Habit of Ne@kness.

! Comparatively few men are dis- tinguished for habits of neatness, yet none can forgive aslack of%it in their wives. Yet neatness is one of the rarest of feminine qualities. Early and persistent must be the training which carries the girl into womanhood with her bump of neatness" well developed Unless inherently fastidious during school days she is liableeto drift into careless habits which she never out grows One girl may have a trick of leaving shoes about her room. As a mere tot she was permitted to do this, and as she grew'older the untidy cus- tom was never abandoned, for the sim pie reason that. she herself did not mo- tice anything unusual about it, and probably nobody else tookthe trouble to correct her. Without thinking any thing about it, some girls, otherwise above reproach in their personal habits. leave punches of combings on their dressing tables, while the combs them selves are permitted to retain for days at time their harvest of dead hairs. This is one of the habits which, when carried into the matrimonial state, sends young husbands back to their clubs Chicago American.

NO SERvIAN GROWN.
Stephen Dushan, Who Became King in 1346s Last Ruler to Wear
 symbol of Royalty.

It is no wonder, says the Philadelphia Press, that King Peter finds it hard to discover a model for his crown. Since 1874 no ruler of Servia has worn one, from 1874 to 1882 no Servian bore the htle of king. There is tradition that a Servian ruler named Michael received the crown and title from the pope so far back as 1078, but the parsonage, who is styled, the first crowned" in Serviap history, was Stephen Nemausha H.. who was crowned by papal legatee in l217, and in order to pacify his ortho. dox subjects renowned by his brother. St. Sava, archbishop of Servia, in 1922. On that occasion the crown was provid- sd by the Byzantine emperor.
 From that time the Servian sovereign bore the title of king, or "kral, till, in 1346 Stephen Dushan was crowned al Uskub as emperor of Macedonia and monarch of the Serbs, Greeks and Bull. garians." His son was also styled em. peror, but the usurper Vukashin, whc murdered the latter, took the name ot king. Since his death no Serb has been crowned. The king of Roumania had his crown made from the cannon oi Plevna, but Slivnitza would scarcely be commemorated in that way at Belgrade

ZACHARY TAYLOR'S TOMB.
Resting Place of a Great General and President Is Neglected-Few
 Visit the Spot.
'tZ. Taylor. Died 1850."

'tZ. Taylor. Died 1850."
 That is the inscription on the tomb of Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the United States, according to the Cleveland Press.
 A correspondent who recently visited the tomb of "Old Rough and Ready" says for over half, a century it has lacked the care of kindly hand and is fast fall ing into decay.
 Apparently nobody cares.
 The tomb lies five miles from Louis vile, and is offthe>road. Ivy riots over the weather-beaten blocks of granite. The fastenings on the'door are red with rust. So far as is known no key has turned the locks for 50 years. Visitors are rare. It is. doubtful if half dozen tourists visit the tomb in a twelve month.
 And this neglected spot is the last resting place of the hero of the Black Hawk and Florida wars. Here is the dust of that great soldier who with 4.000 American rifenen drove in retreat 20,- 900 Mexicans under Santa Anna at Buena Vista. Here are the remains of the American Cortez and president of the United States
 He who conCr-~ed the swamps and everglades of F.. I and made Mexico surrender is forgotten by his country men. Not one in 10000 knows the place of his sepulcher.

Messrs Rowland and Clifford have provided tremendously elaborate scenic production of cover Niagara Falls,'~ which will be given a single performance at Polls this evening. It is claimed that the scene showing the Niagara Falls, with it's mighty rush, roar and fall of water is the heaviest ever built for transportation. Other prominent scenes, simply enormous even for these days of electrical con trivance and motive power, are Goat Island at night, Suspension Bridge, the Whirlpool Rapids, Lake Chautau- qua. and the PanAmerican Indian congress. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents.

HOW IT ALL CAME OUT.
Who That Girl With the Auburn Hair

Who That Girl With the Auburn Hair
 Is.
 It will be welcome news to this dis turbed community that the secret of the auburn-haired girls identity is out. For two weeks this mystery has been a source of agitation in the commun- tty, wives and husbands and lovers and sWeethearts entering into discussion of her identity with the liveliest vigor. The copper mystery and the settle ment of Mary Ann's age have been mere bagatelles in comparison with the determination of this mysterious girls identity, and there will be general sat- isfaction that the problem at last is solved It is a fact, however, that this particular girl with the auburn hair is not Waterbury girl; indeed, when she comes here next week, as it is now learned she will, it will be her first visit to this part of the country. She has visited enough cities in this country and Europe and Australia to be ranked among the most industrious of globe trotters, but she is anticipat- ing her stay of @ week among us with the, 1fveliest expectations of a jolly good time: She hopes to see and greet all our people, and promises in return to give them entertainment that they will enjoy. It Is no harm to state in this connection that the girl with the auburn hair will be at the Jacques opera house all of next week as perhaps the most extraordinary at traction that Manager Poli has yet presented the public Of Waterbury.

''BY THE GHOST OF NELSON. WOMAN" got studding sails out on both sides. Let us see how much you know of the sailor business"
 By the ghost of Nelson, woman, but how dare you talk this way to me? If you were at sea I'd have you in irons, wife though yeu>are!'
 "Never mind what you would do if we were at sea, but tell me what you know about marine matters. How many masts has a brig. for instance"
 And do you pretend that you know yeurselfT"
 'tI pretend, Commodore .Bowser, to know more than you do about such matters, and haven't got an anchor in my pocket or a belaying pin up my sleeve either"
 Mr. Bowser looked at her in 8 puz- zled way. It was the first time in his life hG had ever heard her make use of such terms, and how she had picked them up was puzzle to him. She evi- dently knew something or thought she did, and here was the chance to hope lessly wreck her on lee shore. A beau- tiful smile covered his face and chuc- kle was heard in his throat as he softly sat down on chair and said:
 tEVery well. We will discuss little. What question did you ask?" .--
 "'I asked how many masts brig had" ...
 q answer that a brig has three masts, and ask you in return what [S, alo ic SS%17 Tod Come, now, show your smartness."
 "After you have shown yours, my dear commodore. A brig has only two masts instead of three."
 "What! Whats that?'g
 "OnIy two masts."
 "Are you seeking to deliberately in- suit me or is it only another sample of your general ignorance? If you knew the difference between salt water and cider vinegar you would know that a brig has three masts."
 Mrs. Bowser took a dictionary out of a bookcase and showed him a picture of a brig, with sails, masts and every part named. She further brought out three other books with pictures of brigs. There were only two masts.
 Its either m1Spr1nt or else the puD- fishers of these books are bloody mind ed villains" shouted the commodore as he brought his fist down on the table with a crash that lifted the cat off the lounge and threw her on her beam ends on the floor.
 eve will let it go at that" quietly replied Mrs. Bowser. ''You asked me about the pinnacle. It is sort of box In front of the wheel where the com pass is kept, and at night it is lighted by a lamp. You are going out to sail on a yacht. Can you tell me what the main sheet is?'
 "Of course can. Do you take me for a knockkneed idiot? The main sheet is the main sheet is the rope that hauls down the main jib in a gale"
 The Bowser cat was born and reared almost within sound of the surf, and

 ~ HERB was sort of deep sea
 roll to MT. Bowser's gait as he
 came home the other evening,
 and there was sort of shiver my timbers look in his eye as he hung up his hat and overcoat. It wasn't Mrs. Bowser's policy to take notice of these things, and she had nothing to say un- til an hour later, when a boy left a package at the door containing a tele- scope and a yachting cap.
 What on earth are you going to do with those things?'' she asked as MT. Bowser opened the package and placed the cap on his head.
 '@There is no particular reason for anxiety on your part" he answered with all the dignity of a commodore as he picked up the glass and sQuinted at the opposite wall through it.
 Have you bought a man-of-war or are you going to enter into a contest with Admiral DeweyT'
 Commodore Bowser paced the quar- ter deck for few minutes before re plying and then said:
 q have an invitation to take a trip on a yacht tomorrow, and if I like it as well as believe shall may buy the craft. The doctor was telling me the other day that what needed was salt water ozOne."
 ''I was expecting you to develop some new fad" said Mrs. Bowser, "but this is the silliest thing yet. The idea of your going on yachting trip when you can hardly cross bridge without be- ing seasick! You'll be lying on your back the whole time. It would be more sensible for you to go and buy brick yard instead of a yacht. Brickyards don't bob up and down in a gale"
 Woman, you will either talk to me in respectful manner or retire to your stateroomv' exclaimed the commodore after casting look to windward.
 eff I don't I suppose I'll be court Imartialed and shot. Now, then, you have got the yachting fad. You have gone and bought cap and telescope. There is hurricane in your right eye, a typhoon in your left, and you have

AT THE JACQUES

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 There is the regular large Monday audience at the Jacques this afternoon and one can hear the laughter for al- most a block, so loud and cheery is it as the great comedy acts follow one another in rapid succession. It looks like bill of exceptional strength in the comedy line. Heading it are two special features in Charles H. Burke and Grace La Rue with their famous Inky boys and Mir and Mrs Gardner Carne. The former art
 old time variety style. with plenty of comedy, cmfwyp mfwyp mfwyp cmfcY singing and dancing joined to the comedy. while the other is of the mod ern school that has been made popu- lar through the graduates from the le- gitimate style. It will be interesting to note which one will attain the wfd- est popularity during the week, al though it may be said in advance, if they repeat their experiences else where. that both will prove so accept able that it will be difficult to dis criminate between them. Manager Poli believes that he has found in these two acts the very cream of vaudeville comedy. Another capital feature Is provided in a singing act offered by Bertha Wagner and Bruno Arnim under the 'tTftle of the Maid of the Mill'' The rest of the bill is con- tributed by the O'Rourke- Trio, Toney Haskell, Beeson, Malcolm and Beeson, Cherry and Bates, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Bad Condition of siberian Railroad.

Bad Condition of siberian Railroad.
 A Russian traveller who recently ar rived in London from the far east by way of Canada states that an errone- ous idea seems to be entertained in England as to the progress of the sibe- rian railroad. Over ], 400 miles of line have yet to be constructed, and there are several breaks presenting such enor- nous engineering difficulties that it will take years to ink them up. Moreover, he adds, it is evident to an expert that, owing to the severity of the climate and the amateur way in which the work has been done, much of the line in cen4 tral Siberia will have to be entirely re- laid.
