 action on MT. Bowser's part.
 He made sly notes with pencil and afterward consulted several vol umes in the library, and his desire for concealment was so evident that she, of course, determined to solve the mys- tery. How she secured and made a copy of his memoranda must remain a family secret, but for the next three days she was preparing herself for what, she knew must come. On the third evening, after MT.

 '"Then l will answer for you. He was born at Syracuse in the year 2S7 B. c. and was the greatest mathemad- elan of the century. His demonstra- tion that the area of segment or parabola is two-thirds of the inclosing parallelogram is the first real example of the quadrature of curvthnear space. In his treatise on spirals he rises to yet higher investigations, which, however, are not very easily un- derstood, even by masters of the sub- ject. He first established the truth that body plunged in fluid loses as much of it's weight as is equal to the weight of an equal volume of the fluid. It was by this law that he determined how much alloy the goldsmith whom Herod had commissioned to make a crown of pure gold had fraudulently mixed with the metal.

He probably would rather sit in the dimly lighted parlor and while away the time with lovey.' but do not allow this. Make him hustle. There are lots of things that we can find for them to do. and we should not shirk our responsibility"
 This was the startling plan of Mrs. Orrin N. Carter, voiced at the meeting of the West End Mothers council in Chicago the other day in an address on Assigning Home Duties to Chil- dren as a Means of Teaching Responsi- bility." She was but one of several speakers who urged that the daughter of the house should wash the dishes after family meals, but there was hush when she urged dishcloth as means of entertainment for callers. says Chicago dispatch.

Macedonians Adopt It For the Tune
 to Lead Them to Battle.
 The tune of Yale's .Boola'' song has been adopted as the air for the pa- tional song of freedom prepared, by Constantine D. Stephanove, Ynle, '99, for Macedonia, which has become the war song of the Macedonians, says a New Haven dispatch to the New York Journal
 The song has travelled a good deal since it was first heard on the Yale field as one of the football odes. Pop Hirsh, the old Yale catcher, first offered 1t to Yale audience few years ago. Only Hawaiians recognized in it any sem blance to the national hymn of their country. Then 1t took flight to the Macedonian mountains, where it has become battle cry, sounding, so Stephanove says, like the old rebel yell of the south. 1t has travelled to Japan also, 1t is said, and may be heard in battle when the clash comes with Russia.

Curious Apparatus to Illustrate
 Quality of the New Element.
 Professor George B. Pegram of Co lumbia university, in New York. has improved tiny device invented by an- other experimenter named Strut which illustrates some of the peculiarities of radium, says the New York Tribune. Among the different rays emitted by that substance one group is positively electrified and the other negatively. By suspending delicate gold pendulum in glass vessel from which the air has been removed it is possible to bring the metal alternately under the influence of these rays and produce an oscillation. The action in Strutt's ap- paratus was slow, but Professor Pe- gram is able to obtain more frequent swings in given time. The amount of power developed Is microscopic. The instrument cannot be utilized, except for educa tional purposes. but it is an interesting scientific curiosity. Though Professor Pegram is careful to avoid saying that it will run forever, he thinks 1t should continue as long as the store of energy in the radium holds out.

He lived there in very extravagant style, giving splendid entertainments, especially to the prin- ces of his imperial family, and scatter ing his money lavishly in gifts to the freemen of the emperor until his debts rendered 1t unsafe for him to remain longer in the city. He then took refuge i'll Idumea.

 "when I reached India,'' said Dr.. Jackson, T learned that there were 500,0 lepers in that country, who lead a life of absolute loneliness and who gre considered unclean outcasts.
