INVENTION OF BEEFsrEAK.
Roman Prisoner Of Rank Discovered
That Sacrifice TO Jupiter Was
Excellent for Mortnls.

Beefsteak, like most other good
things, was discovered entirely by acci-
dent. It appears that Lucius Plaucus, a
Roman Of rank, was ordered by the EN-
peror Trajan for some offense to act as
one Of the mental sacrificers to Jupiter;
he resisted, but was at length dragged
to the altar There. says the New YORK
Herald, the fragments of the victim
were laid upon the fire and the unfor-
tunate senator was forcibly compelled to
turn them. In the process Of roasting
one of the slices fell off the Goals and
was caught by Plaucus in its fall. II
burned his fingers and he instinetively
thrust them into his mouth. In that mo-
ment he had made the grand discovery
that the taste of a slice, thus earbona-
doed, was infinitely beyond all the sod
den cookery of Rome. A new expedl-
ent to save his dignity was suggested at
the same time, and he at once evinced
his obedience to the emperor by SEEM
ing to go through the sacrifices with
due regularity and his scorn OF the en-
ployment by turning the whole cere-
mony into a matter of appetite. lie
swallowed every slice, deluded TraJan,
defrauded Jupiter, and invented the
eefsteak! A discovery of this magni-
tude could not long be concealed; the
sacrifices began to disappear with
rapidity and satisfaction to the parties
too extraordinary to be unnoticed. The
priests of Jupiter adopted the practice
with delight, and the king OF Olympus
must have been soon starved if he de-
pended on any share of the good things
of Rome.

NOT WHAT WAS EXPECTED.
AcetvIene Gas Was Discovered DUR
ing Experiments for Something
else; Then by Accident.

Like many other things now IN gen
eral use in commerce and the arts, the
discovery Of acetylene gas was due to
accident. A Mr. Wilson, scientlnc
experimenter, believed that nearly all
metallic oxides could be reduced to a
metallic state by heating them to an
extremely high temperature by the
yoltaic arc in the presence OF Tree
carbon. Aluminium has been success
fully reduced in this way. Mr.. Will
son wished to obtain metallic calcium.
He therefore mixed a quantity OF
olricklime with pulyerized coke and
brought the mixture to a high tenn
perature by the action OF the yoltaic
arc. He expected to obtain a white
metal. but instead he appeared to pro
luce nothing but Stag. This was
thrown into the yard one day at noon,
when the boys we're having their
luncheon, they picked up these bits OF
Stag and thrsw them at each other.
one piece fell into pail of water and
produced bubbling effect and
strong odor. This attracted Mr.. Will
sons attention. and upon investigation
he found that the strong smelling gas
was extremely inhammable. Further
investigation revealed that it was pure
acetylene gas.

WOMAN AND HER NOSE.
Pbotographers Resort 10 Many Tricks
to Render Pictures More Beauti-
full Than Their Owners.

"The latest wrinkle in the photog-
raphy of women" said leading artist
the other day, ''is the ayerted counte-
nance in portraiture. Inasmuch as
womans nose, when she directly faces
the camera, is closer to the lens than
any other feature, it is magnified slight
". which is not desirable. To avoid this
we try to retire that organ as much
as possible, and the only way is to re-
touch the negative. This is invariably
done when the nose is a trifie larger than
perfect harmony requires. A woman
with a big nose is the unhappiest OF
mortals. far more miserable than the
man with one too small. The tip OF it
is always cold, rendering her positively
unlissabie. Nine-tenths of the pictures
| am taking nowadays have the head
thrown back, exposing the throat, en-
phasizing the chin, concealing the pen
dency of the under-lip giving a small,
tip-tilted nose, with a fine view of the
nostrils, greatly softening the express
sion of the eyes, beautifully arching the
brows and modifying the forehead. Oh,
we can make any woman look pretty in
a photograph. That is our art."

STILL DEMAND FOR WHIPS.
nespite the increasing Use Of AutO-
mobiles and Electric Cars-bi-
cycle Craze Hurt Trade.

To one who is not acquainted with
the extent Of the business 1t seems a
mystery where all the whips go to, says
the Springfield Republican. One local
concern is able to turn out about 2O,OOO
whips in single day under favorable
conditions, and 1t is only one of many
companies. Westfield, is of course, the
center Of the whipmaking industry OF
the world, and there are many horses In
that world. Some of the local whip men
have studied the automobile question TO
quite an extent, endeayoring to find out
the possible effect upon the whip busi-
ness. Some thought few years ago
that the bicycle was responsible in
measure for the dull times in the whip
business, and it may have had some ef-
feet.
At that time there was less demand
for livery teams than previously, and
there was consequently little use for
whips. The bicycle was not SO much In
demand as in former years, but the au-
tomobile and electric cars are taking It's
place. One would suppose the rapid
construction of electric roads all over
the country would tend to in1ure the
whip trade, but in spite of automobiles
and electric cars the output OF WHIPS
continues year after year. One OF the
local whip men said recently that he mad
no fear Of bicycles, automobiles or eiec-
trio cars running the whip business.

The Ainu bear hunter can put tc
shame the best modern sportsman,
who considers a hundred yards of,
with his Winchester, a safe distance
for a shot for such an animal, says the
New York Tribune The Ainu method
is thrilling and dangerous. The bears
spend their winters in caves and holes.
Long poles are pushed inside, and II
one comes out he falls an easy victim
to the poisoned arrow; often they are
smoked out. When Bruin is first shot,
being full of pain, he is savage, and
furiously attacks his enemy. Being
now at close quarters. the Ainu dis
cards his bow and arrow and prepares
to make a final onslaught upon the
creature. The wounded and enraged
beast rises upright on his launches,
ready to pounce upon his assailant.
The Ainu hunter watches his chance
to make the fatal thrust. At the right
time he rushes point blank into the
animals embrace and plunges his
knife into his body but does not al
wavs escape without a reminder Of his
encounter. He is s~re to get severely
scratched. frequently scalped, and
sometimes killed.

LEAD I'm INVENTIVE ARTS.
Residents of Connecticut Hold the
Record for Useful Creations Ac-
cordfng to the Records.

The inventiveness of the Yankee has
become proverbial the world over, and
among the Yankees those residing in
Connecticut easily carry off the palm.
During the last 20 years by the patent
office record Connecticut has led every
state in the country in inventiveness,
EXCEPT in four separate years when IT
stood second IN the list. There is
scarcely an article in common use about
vour house that is not made in Con-
necticut. from the hinges and locks
on the doors to the billiard table, the
clock on your mantel, the sewing ma
chine In the workroom, your silverWare,
your gun, your bicycle or automobile,
your piano and piano player and many
such simple things as axes, nails,
kitchen hardware, knives and forks
and needles and chains. If there be
ANYTHING that you cannot trace to Con-
necticut you will find that the machin-
ery for making 1t or the first shaping
of raw material come from that state.
The letter box you pass on the way to
your Office and the typewriter in use
there. the ship in the harbor and the
railroad train you ride in all have the
Connecticut stamp on them somewhere.

THE TEST OF FIRE.
Crisis in Financial world Necessary
in Process of Developing New
and Better Methods.

The new methods and the new prof.
ects are going through the test of fire
to-day, and some of them are being
consumed, asserts Charles A. Conant,
in the Atlantic. The tests which
weeded out the badly organized and
incompetent of the early stock com
panies, which drove to the wall the
wildcat" banks Of ante bellum days,
and which wiped out dividends and
stock rights in badly managed rail
ways, are now being applied to the
new forms of organization which have
been the growth Of the past decade.
But the stronger and better organized
of these new corporations are likely
to meet these trials without disaster
or to modify their methods to conform
to the teachings of experience until
there remains to the financial world
valuable residuum of new methods
for giving flexibility to capital and
promoting its transfer promptly and
efficiently from the industries where
it is not needed to those where it will
render its highest service.

SILVER AND WOUNDS.
ties Not Popularity Known-SiIver
Leaf Excellent for Dressings.

DR.. Reboul has made use with excel
lent results Of a sheet of silver leaf
in dressing wounds and ulcerations, ac-
cording to all exchange. The silver
sticks closely to the surface of the
wounded or diseased tissue and small
quantity of cotton soaked in colodium
is sufficient to keep it in place. When
the wound is fresh it heals quickly
without Inflammation or suppuration
A perfect cicatrization of liberated can
GER of the skin has been attained by
this means.
The antiseptic properties Of silver are
not popularity known. Some years ago
DR.. Rollin, of Lyons, in cultivating mi
crobes in a bouillon which he had placed
in a silver cup, found that the microbes
perished and at the end of a few hours
completely disappeared, and the fact
was all the more remarkable as the same
microbes multiplied when placed in an
other vessel. Pursuing his investiga-
lions, Dr. Rollin analyzed the bouillon
which was contained in the silver ves-
sci and found therein a very small trace
Of silver, which infinitely small guam
tity had rendered the bouillOn antisep-
tic.

FUTURE OF AUTOMOBILE.

the Great cities as soon an
Perfected.

The automobile is about to take on
more of the character Of reliable
servant, declares the Metropolitan.
1t will be- kept in the stables of the
rich for regular use in going to the
opera, to the office, to the shopping
district and in going about for social
ends, 1t viii require no one to wait
until it is harnessed, until it has fin
ished eating or until IL has been shod.
1t will be kept because of it's being
always ready to leap forward in re-
sponse to an intelligent touch. 1t will
enable one to catch trains at short no
tice, to be more leisurely at the break
fast board before starting for the
office, to linger longer at the dinner
table and yet see the curtain rise.
The boon of it's utility will not be
confined to the wealthy. 1t will have
all the democratic range of patronage
that has the street car. 1t will be as
much the handservant Of the middle
classes as Of the wealthy Clerks and
statesmen who cannot now afford to
own a horse and buggy will be able to
economic by using motor carriage.
The automobile will be so cheap to
maintain, so easily managed and so
reliable that it will be used by railroad
committing residents Of the suburbs
in travelling between home and place
of business. The motor vehicle is yet
to exert a tremendous influence in the
development of suburban property
It will offer a means of speedy access
to localities now too remote from rail
road and trolley to be popular

FISH THAT LEAVE THE WATER
some Can Live a Long Time Out of
Their Native EIemeht-The
"stare-ADout."

1t is commonly supposed that all fish
die very soon after being taken from
the water. There are exceptions, how
ever. to the rule. There is the stare
about" a kind of goby that at ebb tide
walks calmly up on the sand banks erect
on two huge fore fms. With his gigantic
google eyes he keeps a sharp lookout
for crabs and such things as are left
behind by the receding water. Then we
all know, says an exchange, that cells
can wriggle, snakelike, miles across the
meadows to other ponds and rivers.
In Holland carp are kept all winter
hung up in a net and sprinkled only oc-
casionally with water. The Indian
"shake-head" is quite happy even when
his native pond dries up, and lies torpid
till the next rainy season. The flying
gurnard will keep ahead Of an ocean
liner going at full speed and fly for many
minutes in quick successive flights Of
800 Yards or so at a time. So. granted
that the average fish prefers water, some
Of them, at any rate, can do very well
out of it.

The Ainu women are the family
tailors, as well as cloth manufacturers.
Although there are no dry goods stores
in the land, when a new outfit of gar
ments is desired free and unlimited
raw material is at hand. In the early
spring they go to the mountains and
get loads of elm tree bark, from the
fiber Of which they weave cloth. The
Dark is put in water to soak and get
soft, after which it is taken out and
the fiber arranged into threads and
wound upon balls 1t is then woven
into narrow rolls of cloth, on a primi-
tive loom. The garments are rough,
and have a faded brown color A few

FRENCH HOUSEWIVES THRIFT
Can Make Money Go Further Thnn
Any Women I'm the WorId-Pro-
bate Court Facts.

The management of the national
finances Of France, which are on bet
ter basis than those of any other ma
tion in Europe, find a counterpart in
the methods of the housewives OF the
nation. 1t is fact that the distribu-
ton of wealth in France is wider than
in any other European country, al
though the records are not available for
detailed comparisons in all cases. How
ever the records of the courts of pro-
bate in England and the notarial rec
ords in France afford data for compare
son between these two countries. In
England the 81, ,233 estates administered
last year amounted to $1,44O,O0O,0O
while in France 1863, ,612 estates only net
ted s954.425, ,210 In other words, while
the English fortunes were much great
or individually than the French estates,
the number of property holders in
France were five to one compared to
England. This information should be a
severe shock to those of the old school
who are prone to regard all French peo-
pie as extravagant and thoughtless,
while as a matter of fact they are a
thrifty, self-denying race.
