varieties, the curly and the late

The patronage of the lord mayor OF
London is not to be despised. He
first appoints chaplain, who receives
a full set of canonicals. suite of
rooms at the Mansion house and a
purse of 80 guineas from the alder
men. He appoints the clerk of the

a boy to Christ's hospital-the Blue
coat school-and has a long list of
offices at the Mansion house to be

a figurehead. He has very tangible
powers over the city. He even has
the right of precedence in the city
before all the royal family, This
right so displeased George w. when

Latin American Trade.

Fear that the greater republic will
wrest from them control of their own
countries is an ever present and pow
erful influence against the American.
More was done by the Spanish-Ameri-
can war to strengthen that feeling
than by all that had gone before. That
squat convinced Latin America that
the United States was actually brave
enough to declare war and strong
enough to punish even Spain herself.
Amusement was natural, for had not
all Spanish America to struggle des-
perately for many years before it
could break the shackles that bound it
beneath the banner Of blood and gold?
Before that skirmish which freed
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines

A Cannon in the Air.

A little cannon is stationed on the
Eiffel Tower to announce the hour
when the sun is at zenith, all for the
benefit of Parisians who live on the
left side of the river. This arrange
ment cannot excite the jealousy Of
those who live on the opposite banks
of the Seine, for they have the little
cannon of the Palais Royal for the
same purpose But there is this diff
ference between the two cannons
That of the Palais Royal is set off by
the sun, whose beams are focused by
a carefully-placed magnifying glass
whose angle is calculated with the
most accurate mathematical precision,
so that when noon comes the cannon
is fired off automatically. Not so the
Eiffel Tower cannon. In this case the
cannoneer takes down a trusty tele-
scope at about the time his stomach
warns him that luncheon hour is not
far off, then directing his gaze toward
the clock at the st. Lazare railway
station awaits the arrival of the hands
at noon on the dial. No other diff
Guilty is then in the way to pulling the
percussion cap and the thing is done.
The charge of this cannon costs the
sum of 2 francs so centimes for each
shot at old Father Time.

Nature as Puzzle Maker.

Nature sometimes does things with
the evident intention of just puzzling
people. For years she has been pro-
pounding many little standing jokes
and conundrums, and asking people
to guess at the answers.
One example is afforded by the
Singing sands of Pascagoula." Pasca-
goula lies on the shores of the Gulf
OF Mexico, in the southern part of
Mexico.
The warm waters CT the gulf wash
gently up on a smooth and shining
beach which looks like any other
smooth and shining beach in that re-
gion. But the sands of Pascagoula
beach have properties which the sands
of other beaches do not possess-they
are tuneful and can sing.
At odd intervals, when the tide is
out, the moon shining and the lazy
swell of the summer sea breaks gently
on the shore, strange, sweet melody
rises from the beach. and all the
grains of sand seem, like the morning
stars, to sing together.
The music is not lively, nor yet is
it very mournful-just a pleasant,
dreamy sound OF singing, which wells
UP from the beach and along the
shore.
There have been various guesses at
the cause of this phenomenon, but, SO
far, no one has been able to give a.
wholly satisfactory answer to this
charming little conundrum PROFOUND
ed by nature.
A more grewsome riddle is offered
by the Palatine light, which has been
celebrated in verse by Whittier. OF
late years the light, which used to be
seen at intervals off the coast of
Block island has not been observed,
or, if observed, has not been reported.
The story is that ship laden with
immigrants from the Palatinate of the
Rhine was decoyed on the rocks by
false lights, and then set on fire by the
wreckers, and that the Palatine light
is the phantom of the old ship, come
back to burn again as perpetual re-
minder to the people of Block island
of the sins Of their ncestors.-Indian.

Convicted by a Shark.

In the museum at Kingston, Ja-
maica, there are some tattered ship s
papers, brown with age and salt water
and a small tin canister. These arti-
cles attest the truth of the strangest
pirate story ever told.
In 1899 the crew of the Nancy"
brig were apparently honest traders
but did some piracy on the
side One day they found it necessary
tc go to Kingston for supplies. Be-
fore doing so, they naturally removed
all traces of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister. stuffed with
papers taken from ships they had
sunk, with comments on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day British frigate
was becalmed near the spot, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up a
big fellow, cut him open, and found
the tin case with the papers inside.
These were taken to the captain, who,
as soon as breeze sprung up. sailed
into Kingston harbor, found the Nan
cy'' brig there, and had the crew tried,
convicted and hanged in chains at
Port Royal.-New York Press.

Meadow. M ice.

We can always tell when there are
meadow-mice in field by the little
fcot-paths winding in and out among
the grass-roots. These paths are
usually rather lower than the sur
rounding grass, and are used chiefly
at night, when the mice come out to
feed upon wild bulbs, grass-roots, ber-
ries and insects. The little rodents
have many enemies. owls perhaps be-
ing the most of ALL Domestic cats get
a great many of these mice, and OF
course hawks capture many OF those
which venture forth in the daytime.
The mice themselves are harmless
creatures, except perhaps in very cold
weather. when they have been known
to destroy the fruit-trees by gnawing
the bark just above the snow line.
They are gentle in disposition, and al
though l have picked uD hundreds of
them with my bare hands they have
seldom bitten me unless happened to
squeeze them a little too hard.
The best known representative of
the American long-tailed mice is I'M

RAILROAD TIES OF LEATHER
Scrap Of the Leather Factory Utilized
AS a Substitute for Wood.


AS a Substitute for Wood.
The latest thing offered as substi-
tute for use in the manufacture OF
railroad ties is leather The man who
is responsible for this Innovation is F.
w. Dunnen.
In the manufacture of his cross-tie,
which weighs 1875 pounds, the scrap
leather from shoe shops is taken into
a disintegrator, ground very fine, sub
jected to a refining process and mould
ed.
The tension of the moulding ma
chine can be so regulated that ties
hard enough to take a spike or ties
through which a spike connot be driV-
en- can be turned out.
The three great essentials in
crosstie are apparently found in this
leather sleeper, for it is guaranteed
to hold spike, the fishplate will not
splinter it and it will not rot. 1t is
expected to stand service for 35 years.
Sample ties put down % months ago
in the West Springfield freight yard
of the Boston & Albany road do not
show the least wear.
Roadmaster Sullivan, Of the Boston
G Albany, says the spikes hold as
we'll as when first driven, instead OF
working loose, as in the wooden ties.
The ordinary chestnut tie now in use
must be replaced every two years.
Mr.. Dunnell proposes to turn out
5000 ties a day for the present.

of the four-footed animals IN this
country. Unlike the meadow-mouse,
IL is a creature of the woodland, and
"wood-mouse" is the name by which
it is known in many places. Among
the surest signs of its presence are
the empty shells of the hickory nuts,
which form a considerable part of it's
food These shells may always be dis
tinguished from those which have,
been opened by squirrels by the man
ner in which they have been cut. In
nearly all cases it will be found that
there are two holes in the shell-one
in each of the two fiat sides-and very
often one of these holes is larger than
the other. When you find a shell

Electric Leaves in Trees.

curious characteristics.
It's leaves are of a highly sensitive
nature and SO full of electricity that
whoever touches one Of them receives
an electric shock 1t has very singu-
lar effect upon a magnetic needle and
will influence it at a distance OF even
20 feet. The electrical strength OF the
tree varies according to the time OF
day, it being strongest in midday and
weakest at midnight. In wet weather
it's powers disappear altogether. Birds
never approach the tree. nor have In
sects ever been seen upon it.

Two Similar Careers.

1t is rather peculiar coincidence
that the early days of two such we'll
known theatrical celebrities as Henry
Arthur Jones and Wilson Barrett
should have been SO curiously similar.
Each is the son of a farmer, and the
parents were so strongly prejudiced
against theatres that their sons were
forbidden under heavy penalties, to en-
ter their doors. In spite of such dis
couragement, however, both have be-
come famous in the theatrical world.
