jects or particles too minute to be
seen with the highest powers of the
microscope as it is now constructed.
Prof. Cleveland Able suggests that by
staining preparations with nuorescent

with ultraviolet light, smaller particles
than can possibly be seen with ordi-
nary white or colored light may be
brought into prominence. The human
retina is insensible to ultraviolet light
but fluorescence converts the short
waves into longer ones capable of af-
fecting the retina. The, same principle
applies to Photographic visibility, and
Prof. Able thinks that the ultimate
limit of such visibility will be o. the

molecules of matter. Special lenses will
need to be ground for this kind Of

THE GERMAN DRESSMAkER
The Thing That Greatly Surprised
Her When Shc Learned Her
Employers Calling.

A young woman author recently
hired a German oressmaker to do some
work for her. The German came to
the apartment daily, and after q con-
sultation or fitting the writer would
leave to go about her own business.
Il could see that she was trying to
place me-" said the author, in telling
the story. when she first came and
saw so many pictures and sketches
about the house she asked me If
could paint, and l replied in the mega
tive.
"Then she looked around for a piano
and seeing none, asked If could sing.
Again l told her no, and Of course it
was quite evident that knew nothing
about dressmahing.
ION her last day decided to end her
suspense, so after little friendly con-
versation 1 informed her In vague but
impressive terms that 1 wrote, men
tioning one or two things that she rec
ognized. Her honest German face was
raised in wonder to mine.

dot? But l always thought it took a

Alaska Salmon.

Alaskan salmon canneries work only
for short time in June, July and the
early part of August, and they make
little impression upon the run of fish.
Countless millions of salmon still es-
cape the nets and traps and press up
the rivers to spawn and die. Nature
Is here singularly wasteful in her
methods. OF these myriads of fish
none seems to return to the sea again
after spawning. If evidence Of this
be required" says q writer, "a walk
along the shores of a lake or the river
banks in autumn will soon convince
the unbeliever. since tho sight of the
dead salmon and the awful smell aris-
ing therefrom will soon drive him as
far as possible from the spot. In one
river We computed by the numbers
passing our camp during the day and
night that there must be already mil
lions of fish in the lake. Over one shall
low the salmon we're running in count
less thousands. AS they forced their
way up, with fms and tails out of wa
ter, they made a noise like sman
waterfall" And yet not one of these
fish lives to return to the sea.

Absinthe Drinking,

Thoughtful French men and women
are keenly alive to the havoc that ab-
sinthe drinking has caused in the NOR
al and physical life of the nation. Sen
aror Beranger, who has been foremost
in the fight against the use of this dan
gerous intoxicant, says: 1--WE are by
no means discouraged by the fact that
we have not yet passed bill to pre-
vent the use of absinthe.
''We are now trying to accomplish
our aim by propaganda work in
schools and barracks. The habitual use
Of dangerous drinks like absinthe and
vermouth, and especially the cheap
manufactured liquors, is the great en-
emy France has to face to-day. 1t is
responsible for the depopulation Of the
country and for more than two-thirds
of the crimes committed. 1t may take
some years to accomplish our end.

English Competition.

The coal mine owners in the south Of
Austria have been Obliged to reduce the
price of coal because English ships on
their way to the Black sea for corn have
taken British coal from Cardiff to
Trieste at the rate of one dollar ton,
whereas the usual rate is between 81 60
and two dollars. and has even been as
much as 1915. The price of British coal
is so low that unless Austrian mine
owners reduce their prices British coal
will find its way into Austria in largo
quantities. a., ..-

MONTANA's BIG TROUT.
The Great Twelve-Pounder Senator
Biggs Caught with Five and
One-Half Ounce Rod.

Frozen inside cake of ice, there is
on exhibition here one of the finest
trout ever landed in Montana, says a
Helena (Mont) correspondent of the
New York Sun. It was caught by
former Senator William Biggs, and
weighs slightly more than II pounds.
It was caught in the Big Blackfoot
20 minutes to tire the fish out 80 that
a landing net could be placed around
it, and the lucky angler complains
that for two days his arm was tired
rs the result of the long-drawn-out
tussle.
Just back Of the cake of ice stand
the rod, reel, line and hook which
proved the undoing of the fish. They
seem out of all proportion, as the rod
weighs only five and half ounces, the
reel is an ordinary affair, the line q
deceptive silk thread, and the hook is
minnow size.
In addition to the II FOUNDER, the
senator landed eight and four pound
ers.
Bonner is beyond doubt the banner
fish center of Montana this year, as
two other beauties, weighing eight and
ten pounds, we're caught in that vi.
cinity during May. Reports are slow
in reaching Helena from the numer
Gus parties which have gone overland
to the Big Blackfoot-central Mon,
tana's favorite stream-but judging
from results further down, it will
yield it's customary amount.
This has been an. unusually good
year for anglers in Montana, owing in
part to the fact that the waters are
lower than in other years because Of
the light snowfall during the winter.

s a Lesson. &

Those people who are afraid Of any

the story Of a coachman who received =
salutary lesson In this line. His mas
ter, q wealthy broker, is so fond Of flow-
ers that he spends much time in and
about his plants, and does some of the
gardening himself. One day, having
emptied his watering can, he called to
his new coachman, who was standing
near, and told him to fill it and bring
1t back.
beg pardon, sor; I'm the coachman,"
said the man, touching his hat.
well, that's all right. Just fill up
that can"
beg pardon. sir, I'm the coachman."
'Well, we'll, know that. Hurry up
with the can; l want it,
The coachman touched his hat and
made the same reply. Then something
dawned on the broker.
"Oh." he said; you're the coachman.
and can't bring the can Well, coach
man, go and have the black span hitched
to the family carriage and bring it here.
Have one of the hostlers ride on the
box with you
The coachman touched his hat re-
spectfully and went. Presently he drove
up In style.
Now" said the broker, 'drive to
where that can is; and you, hostler,
pick 1t up and get back on the box, drive
around to the stable with the coachman
fill the can with water, and have him
drive you back again."
1t was done, and the can brought back

or. "you may go. Coachman, remain

cocoANUT BUTTER.
It Will Keep Well for . Long Time
and Is a Good Antiseptde
sho< Medium. a#ls

A new butter is now being made
milk, when subjected to q tempera-
ture of over % c., runs into yellow
oil. which is imported in great guam
titles from India and Africa. The bet
ter qualities of It are obtained from
Ceylon, Cochin-C China and Australia.
The nut produces 60 per cent. Of oil
and one acre of land planted with CO.
coanut trees would produce over 400
pounds of OIL. This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or for machin-
cry oil, and the better qualities en-
ployed in the manufacture of textile
goods.
In France this oil Is now subjected
to a special treatment and converted
into butter
DR.. Heuner, a German chemist, pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what he
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like that made
from cows milk. contains seven per
cent. of soluble acids. 1t will keep
from Is to 20 days without showing
any sign of acid reaction, and it con-
tains from Is to 80 times less water
than ordinary butter, while it's slow
ness in oxidizing makes it specially
suitable for pastry and cakes, as they
will not get stale 80 quickly when
made with it as with other butter.
Another advantage claimed for the
cocoanut butter is that it seems to be
an antiseptic medium, while milk is
most favorable to the culture of mi,
crobes.
At the central hospital of Vienna and
in various hospitals, In Switzerland, ex-
periments have been made with this
new butter, and the results have been
pronounced satisfactory.
