BUILDINGS IN MINIATURE.

Architects often Make Clay Models
of Important Structures.
Although the architect is still the
most important person in the planning
If any big public or private building, he
often depends on the model maker and
not the craftsman to show his patron
lust how the structure will look when
completed. The model maker, in other
words, takes the architects drawings
and makes an exact counterpart of the
building on a small scale In clay.
When theater is to be constructed,
for example, such model Is made with
the greatest minuteness, and every de-
tail is looked at from the point Of view
of the stage, thus avoiding the posi-
bility that when it is too late some Of
the seats will be found quite out of
range of the performance. In other
buildings architectural details that ap-
pear excellent on paper are thus some
times discovered to be inharmonious
with the character of the structure as
a whole and can be changed before the
actual process of their construction has
started. By the use of models, in fact,
nothing is left to chance and every
body can express his objections before
the work is too far advanced to make
the necessary changes seriously expen-

A TEST OF NERVE.
One of the Ways In Which India

One of the Ways In Which Indians
Duel to the Death.
Among the Indian tribes the method
of fighting duels differs. There are
some tribes where a challenge to duel
means inevitably that both men must
die. When an Indian feels aggrieved
he demands combat. The day for the
same is fixed far in advance and is
made the occasion of a little celebra-
ton. The entire tribe assemblies The
braves sit in a circle behind them their
squaws and the young bucks.
The offended man is armed with
rife or shotgun. The challenged
principal is unarmed. At word both
men arise and face each other, the I'M
armed man barring his breast to the
bullet Of his adversary. With eyes
riveted on the little round hole at the
end of the barrel pointed at him, the
doomed man must face the protracted
ordeal of expecting death at any in.
slant without the least sign of weak
ening. The executioner may hold his
gun as long as he pleases in order to
try to break down his enemy. He may
raise it and lower it or hold it steadily
on the man under the frightful strain,
but not even with an eyelid must the
unfortunate betray his anxiety. At
last the gun cracks, and the bullet
speeds its way and the victim lies dy-
ing. The slayer hands the weapon to
relative or friend of the deceased and
is put through the same ordeal.

not be safe if she or the heir of Russia
died in his hands.
She gave him an order of the most

Every mine that has an entrance on
the level is infested by rats, and there
is no surer indication of a coming dis
aster than general exodus of the
rodents. As surely as the rats are seen
leaving the mine, just so surely will a
cave-in occur in the next day or two
Some miners are superstitious about
the matter and fancy the rats are en-
dowed with foresight, and so they are,
but not of the kind that is commonly
imagined.
A cave-in never takes place without
warning For days before a fall of
any portion of the roof of the mine the
earth and rocks are slowly settling In
to position for the grand crash. The
rats feel the motion of the mass, prob
ably hear the cracks that are caused
by the settling of the layers, and i'm
agine, if rat can be supposed to have
any imagination, that the earth is be-
coming alive, so they become panic
stricken and rush out in swarms. 1t
has often happened. both in this coun-
try and Europe, that the miners refus-
ed to go into a mine that the rats had
deserted, and the caution was invar1-
ably justified by the event

A strange fact in connection with
water is that its point Of greatest den
sity Is not the freezing point, as with
all other liquids, but between the two
extremes of its existence as liquid,
at 1872 degrees F. From this point wa
ter necessarily expands with either de-
crease or increase of temperature.
At the boiling point the conversion
of the liquid into gas steam is naturally
accompanied by an enormous expan-
sion, its volume increasing LOO times.
But the behavior of water at the freez-
ing point is as remarkable, owing to
the peculiar crystalline formation of
ice. The process of expansion Is uni.
form from 1872 degrees downward to
80 degrees. When that point is reached
the temperature remains stationary
during the loss of latent heat, but the
expansion continues until, when ice
becomes visible, it is seen to be bulk
Ter than the water from which it was
formed

HARD TO INITIATE.


Sounds Beyond the Ability of Our
Vocal Organs.
''That man can initiate perfectly the
jingle of money" said in tone of eu-
iogy young woman.
well, what of that?" objected her
companion. THAT ought not to be
hard to do"
TRY to do it."
The objector, after summoning into
his mind the sound of jingling money,
tried. "R-r-r-tat-tat," he went. "Br-br-
bra-ra-ra, -chkk-chk." Then he
smiled alphabetically, for he had failed.
Not by the furthest stretch of the i'm
agination could it be said that he had
uttered a sound that resembled mon
ey's jingle in the least degree.
Il knew you couldn't do it." said the
young woman ut is amazing how
many simple sounds there are that we
can't initiate, try as we will. There is,
for instance, the sound of a person
walking, the sound of a typewriting
machine in operation, the sound of run
ming water, the sound of a breaking
dish You can't initiate those COM
monplace noises, and I doubt If any
one In the world can. Our vocal ca
pacity seems to us large, but it is real
ly limited enough-as limited as that
of many animals and much more lin
tied than that of certain birds. That
is why honor man who has extend
ed his vocal capacity sufficiently to i'm
itate the pleasant, silvery sound Of
moneys jingle. "-Baltimore Herald.

THE ALBATRoss.
Wonderful Flights of This Great
Feathered Wnnderer,

Wonderful Flights of This Great
Feathered Wanderer.
OF all the strange creatures seen by
travellers not the least interesting is
the wandering albatross. This great
feathered wanderer, sometimes meas
uring seventeen feet from tip to tip Of
his WINGS will follow a ship for days
at time. Some travellers and sailors
declare that they have seen particular
bird fly for weeks at a time without
resting. The albatross has always
been bird of mystery, and in ancient
times the people believed that these
unwearying sea birds were the CON-
panions of the Greek warrior Diomedes,
who were said to have been changed
into birds at the death of their chief.
Though the superstition about the
killing of an albatross bringing bad
luck is only foolish one, it has served
a useful purpose for many years in pre-
venting the slaughter of these beautiful
and gallant birds-the sailors friends
and the landsmen's wonder. Up in
dreary Kamchatka, that outlying part
of Siberia which cuts into the north
Pacific, the natives, never having
heard of the superstition about the
albatross, catch him and eat him. but
his flesh makes such poor food that,
after ALL the legend may be said to
hold good, for he is indeed in bad luck
who has to make a meal of it.-Ottawa

When he finally came down to spend
Sunday with his daughter his first
step was to meet Anna. He smiled
as his daughter gravely introduced her
as my friend, Miss Whelan." They
were such an absurdly different couple
and yet so very much alike in interests
and pleasures. He found his gaze
travelling constantly over the brown
head of his daughter to the gray head
Of his new found friend, and he began
to understand the letters better.
On Monday morning he did not go
back to town, but told his sister Hat
tie that he had only just commenced
to realize how the office had worn him
down. He needed a weeks rest.
Three nights later he was sitting In
a sheltered corner of the veranda with
Miss Whelan when two members of
the elderly porch brigade strolled slow
ly by, talking in a high keyed voice
which came squarely to their secluded
corner.

for being so clever. She probably

The two women passed out of hear
ing. The pink had fed from Annals
face, leaving it tired and white. She
rose unsteadily, but the man took her
firmly by the arm and drew her back
to her chair.
Don't go, please l know you care
for Grace for her own sake. Do you
think you could care for me for miner

night"
Instinctively Annals hand reached
up to her hair
"Oh, l couldn't! I've known you
such a short time-people would talk
-and-Tm really too old to have
love affair."
She did not speak bitterly, Just sim
ply. as if thought long unspoken

Cockades were formerly worn only
by soldiers. which gave rise to the
phrase, common both in England and
France, ito mount the cockade," mean
ing to become a soldier The black
cockade worn on the hats of officers
servants was introduced into Britain
by George L. from his German domin-
ions. The real right to use it belongs
not only to naval and military officers,
but also to the holders Of certain Of
fees under the crown, such as privy
councillors. cabinet ministers and
judges, though many people who can
not claim to be classed under any Of
these categories display it on their
servants hats.-London Times.

He was wearing his first pair of
glasses, and at first they afforded great
relief, but at the end of month there
was retrogression. Somehow, polish
the lens as he would, the vision ap-
peared to be weaker. So he went back
to his oculist and said he thought the
glasses weren't strong enough"
The oculist stepped aside for min
