EMBRYO LION TAMERS.

The New York Times prints a ludi- crous story which illustrates some of the joys of a civil service examiner.
 Some of the men who applied for the position of the keeper in the Bronx Geological Gardens made some queer answers recently to the questions put to them in the civil service examina- ton. One said he had ben employed as an undertaker's assistant for ten years and was not afraid of anything In answer to one question he wrote: Some animals, such as goats, digest newspapers and tin cans" In answer to another question he wrote Ca nivorous animals live on islands and exist by the skin of their teeth" There were nineteen applicants ex- amined for two positions vacant. Among the applicants were old-time circus men, railroad conductors, print CTS, house painters and drug clerks The subjects in which they were ex- amined included arithmetic, spelling and the conduct and disposition of all manner of animals likely to come under their care.
 Philip Weinheimer of 1896 Webb ave- nue, who was coachman for an actress for ten years took the examination be- cause he believed a man who could drive an actress ought to be able to drive lion.
 One of the German applicants in de- scribing the habits of certain animals wrote the following:
 "Elephants travel in vast flocks, but lions flock by themselves in the moun- tains of wild Africa. The habits of cage, while some shake their head from side to side. Monkeys are funny, but bears can hug a man to death before he knows it. The wolf is noted for his courage. but the cat and dog is mentally tame"
 An applicant telling what he knew about animals wrote: The hoofed animals of North America are the de- scendants from other types" Then he added: Elephants are found on the ice cliffs of the Siberian coast and have skulls different from rabbits and squir- rels."
 A wood carver who was anxious to become a keeper of the menagerie stated that his experience in carving lions and tigers for caroussels had made him familiar with wild animals Another applicant stated that in his in- fancy he had fallen into dog pit where fight was in progress and didn't even cry. His father had taken him to witness the dog fight.

THE REPORT WAS APT.

After the opening meeting of the Re- ligious Education Associations recent convention in Philadelphia the Rev. Erastus Blakeslee. of Boston, enter tained Dr. Frederic Tracy and Dr. Halsey Gulick with stories of his youth.
 "A friend of mine at college" this learned editor said, was a lad of sceptical views. He and I made q walking tour one summer. and late on certain evening we stopped at lone ly farmhouse and askec Tor shelter for the night
 The old woman who owned the farm welcomed us. She had a simple, pious mind, and she insisted on our taking part with her in evening prayers.
 At the prayers end my sceptical companion attempted to deride her piety.
 DO you really believe he said, that men are made of dust?'
 "'the Good Book says so; therefore, believe it. said the old woman.
 "'How about wet weather. then, when there is no dust, when there Is only mud? What is done then?' said my friend.
 The old woman looked at him and laughed.
 When there is only mud she said, 'infidels and such like truck are made"

 T saw not long ago in a newspaper that some thoughtless woman who had demanded of Mrs. Roosevelt a gift for a church fair, and had received hand kerchief hemmed by herself. had sent it back with the message that some thing better was wanted.

The Failure of Another cureaII.

An Associated Press dispatch from London. printed a few days ago. stated that the "radium treatment" for can cer had been entirely abandoned at the London cancer hospital. It was never viewed with much hope there, and a few days ago the last unsuccessful treatment with 1t took place. Trials were made at the end with e case con- talning five grains covered with mica sheeting. probably the largest morsel in any hospital in Europe. and the effect was always the same though it might vary in a degree. The surface of the skin became inhamed. a blister formed and dried up, but that was all. Sixteen cases have been under treat ment, the longest period of single ap- pllcati0n having been three hours and the longest total time of application having been about twenty-five hours, and the only favorable result has been an occasional cessation of pain. On the other hand. several patients have complained Of an increase of pain.

WHEN YOU AND WERE BOYS.

When you and were boys There were more joy in joys,
 More fun in fun,
 More mirth in mirth, Than since we've walked the earth One-third a century down And know the worlds cold frown. The sun held then more light, More sweet the flowers-rnore bright,
 More song of bird,
 More love, more cheer, Than line the pathway here, When we have trod half way Toward the close of day. Then bluer were the skies; More stars made glad our eyes;
 And. bathed in light
 Both day and night. The future pathway lay All glorified and fair. To tempt us onward these. When you and I were boys, Sweet were our childish joys,
 Gods mercy hid
 The rock-strewn path, The wintry blast. storms wrath, The weariness. the thorn, And gave a cloudlcss morn

IT MUST BE THE CLIMATE.
Otherwise Prof. Gayley Could Have In-
 terested Those "Giggling Girls"

"The archangel Gabriel, nor the AL mighty himself. could write a poem that would interest you girls. You are gig. glers; nothing more"
 With these words Prof. Charles Mills Gayley of the University of California Is reported to have dismissed a class of 100 young women whom he had tried vainly to interest in the choicest re- cent productions of the English-speak- ing muse.
 The frankness of Prof. Gayley's con- fession will not surprise his many old pupils in the University of Michigan hereabouts, but the confession itself will.
 For many of them will remember how under Prof. Gayley they found Latin poetry decidedly interesting. and first realized that Horace and Catul- Jus, Lucretius and Terence did not write merely to make market for dictionaries and give ingenious Ameri- can youth the headache.
 And many of these former pupils were then young women. He made Latin poetry interesting to them in Michigan. Why should he be unable to do with English poetry in California what he did with Latin poetry in Mich igan? Is he different there, or are the young women different on the Pacific coast2 And if so why?
 Here is evidently a sociological prob lem for whose complete study and so- luton there are demanded such re- search and such collection of data as Herbert Spencer caused to be made for his treatise on sociology. Only a sug- gestion toward its solution can here be ventured
 The glorious climate" of California has been put forward as a factor in life responsible for many things different there. Some enthusiastic Californians have even asserted that the influences of this climate were producing a civili- zation different from that existing else where, and of a superior quality.
 The rest of the world, while cheer fully conceding a possible difference. has not been inclined to concede a su- periority. In some quarters there is even feeling that California civili- zation, whether from climatic or other

 It Is gratifying. however, to HSte that considerable progress is being made. A bulletin just issued by the survey announces that one of the en- gineers. MT Frederick Leslie Ransone' is the author Of an illustrated work of 1es pages on the geology of the Globe copper district. this territory.
 It is explained that the investigation of this district was begun early in the summer Of 1901. when a month was devoted 10 preliminary reconnaissance and areal mapping of the geology. Work was subsequently, resumed iR October of the same year and contiH- ued 10 February. 1902.

 The area within the Globe quadran- gle contains about 250 square Iniles- IL Is situated in the southeast-ceRtraf part of Arizona, between the Gila and Salt rivers. and includes portions of Clla and Pinal counties. It is in the heart Of the mountain region of Ari- zona. The town Of Globe. which lies near the eastern edge of the quadran- gle. has a population of about l.5O0.
 The Globe claim. now part of the old Dominion mine. was the first claim located in the district. That was tn 1874. Silver ores were at first the attraction in this region and remained so until 1888. when silver mining declined. and the production of silver ores practically ceased in 1889. About 1881. copper ore beagn 10 at tract considerable attention. Up to the close Of 1901 the total copper pro- ductlon of the district is estimated at about l20OOO.OOO pounds. three-fourths Of which came from the old Dominion mine.
 In this paper MT. Ransome discusses the general geology of the region and the mineralogy. geological occurrence, origin. and the age of the ores. He then describes in detail the old Do- minion mine; the group Of the United Globe mines. including the Grey, the Buffalo. the Josh Billings, the Big Jonnie. the Buckeye. and the Stone wall mines: ether mines in the Globe hills. several mines northwest of Globe; and some mines in schist on the western slope of the Pinal range.
