Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti' ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when alt the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. ltis saidto be equally good and nu. tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphis Ledger.

DEATH THAT IS PAINLESS.
Sleep sn Burning Culm Banks in Pennsylvania.

Death comes in many forms In the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania. bus only one form is painless and pleasant, and to only one tho victims 70 uncon- sciously. It is the death of the burning culm bank, says the New York Sun.
 Many times during the year is such . death recorded when ono of these great culm banks is burning. The hrs Is not seen in the daytime. and at night 1t shines only with . faint glow through the layers of ashes which sep- arate the live coals frsm the outer air.
 To these burning Links tramps and other unfortunates, forced to spend night in the open air, go when the nights grow chilly. The warm breath of the culm lures them on with promise of 2 warm bed for the night, and they lie down to sleep in the comfortable atmos- phere of the bank and never open their eyes again.
 The noxious gases emanating from the bank wait over them 90 softly that they are soon asleep, and n many cases they never awaken, being sufioeated during ths night

TO AUCTION QUEENS GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa- bella of Spain Except Personal
 Jewels to Go Under Hammer.

It has been decided that the personal jewels of the late Queen Isabella of Spain, who for many years lived in Paris, will not be sold as expected, The casket containing the precious stones, necklaces, etc.. has been pro- visionally deposited at bank, and as soon as the affairs of the late queen are cleared up and the contents of her pal ace disposed of the Comte QuiaQui, who has charge of all these matters. will distribute the jewels among the royal family of Spain.
 On the other hand, the furniture, ob- jects of art and all the other treasures in the Palais de Castillo, Queen Isa- bella's home in the Avenue Kleber, op-. posite the united States embassy, will be sold at public auction.
 The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to San Sebastian to consult King Alfon- sos wishes on the subject and the auc- ton will probably take place early in the autumn. The catalogue is being prepared.
 It is we'll known that the contents of the Palais de Castillo are marvels of beauty and worth and constitute veri- table museum Several offers have been made for the palace itself and the surrounding gardens, but nothing defi- nite has yet been accepted. The estate covers 4,600 square yards of land, valued at $160 to $200 yard.

Curious Ina16anA

A man on Twenty.third street furnished much amusement to . number of people on a recent windy afternoon by a predicament he fell into, or rather that fell onto him A large gunny sack dropped from the roof of one of the buildings, and, as it descend. ed, filled with air, coming down with mouth wide open, like a bal. loon. It struck the unfortunate man squarely over the head, GOV. ering him completely down be- low the shoulders, and pinioning his arms so that he had difficulty in extricating himself. He strug. gled as if he thought he was being Kidnapped until he managed to get the sack off his head.-N. Y. Post

MlLE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- menus with motor boats, says the Lon don Mail, perhaps the most pictur- esque were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert, in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisseur, or gliding boat. It is also called hydroplane, and that name is really indicative of it's construction.
 With a De Dion l4-horse power mo- tor, the count attained speed of 28 kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made g kilome- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is will try in day or two to raise tho speed to 35 or even 40 kilometers, or 25 miles an hour, or a speed that Is not exceeded by the use of Q 40-horse power motor.
 The boat itself is 3s feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fins. When the boat is stationary these fins bang vertically in the water. They
 Ire hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow, are gradually given a backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests upon it, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeroplans glides on the air, and with not much more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor tae hydroplane will reach speed ot bO miles an hour.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com. ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not wei! founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous. ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,91 No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,0O0, of which number less than 3,000,000 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14.000,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,700,00O were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300,0O0 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450, ,000, or lit. tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra. gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer- ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form a ma. jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 300,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are AZ, ,000 in 290,000, and in Sac Paulo 30,. 900 in 1,43O,O0O.
 1t is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools Well, the same may be said Of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit. ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration Of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.

WOrkir~ Horn

1t is often the case that amateurs
would like to make some use of hand
some horns, but from the rigid and OBJ
stinate nature of the material are I'M
able to do so. A simple process care
fully followed out would enable any
one to make beautiful and useful arti-
cles. The inner part of the horn is
scraped out, then it is thrown into wa
ter and boiled for an hour or so, when
it becomes soft. 1t is then held ia the
flame of wood or coal fire, being con-
stantly turned. 1t should be kept in the
fire for some time, care being taken
that it does not burn, and is frequently
moistened by being dipped in boiling
water. The heat and yteam will soften
it to about the condition of molten lead.
1t is therefore very soft and can be
split lengthwise by strong knife and
pinchers. 1t can then be cut into thin
layers by separating the sheets of
which it is composed. BY being press
ed between dies it can be made to take
almost any form. When the article is
complete it can be scraped smooth,
then given a high polish.

Snakes.

Snakes have their usefulness in the
world. They are the scavengers of
swamps and morasses where other ami
mails of size are unable to penetrate or
to exist. 1t is in the tropics of course
that serpents chiefly abound. All
snakes are of tropical origin, but some
species have spread into cooler lati-
tudes. In very cold countries there are
no snakes Contrary to the popular
belief, there are some snakes in Ire
land, but they are very rare. The
smallest serpents in the world are the
worm snakes" Of the tropics. They
are about as big as fair sized earth
worms. Some snakes lay eggs, while
others bring forth their young alive.
In the latter categor[ are vipers, rat
tlesnakes and nearly all water snakes.
Pythons incubate their eggs after lay
ing them.

There WAS a Limit.

which was continually initiating it's

room the monkey grabbed the brush
and proceeded to finish lathering the
Irishman's face. After doing this he
took razor from it's case and strop-
ped it and then turned to the Irishman
to shave him.

Winding Your Watch.

The old superstitious belief that you
will change your luck if you stop wind
ing your watch at night and wind it in
the morning may have some slight ba-
sis in fact, according to jeweler, who
says that the morning is the proper
time to do the winding. This is not
only because the hour Of rising is for
the average man much more regular
than that for retiring, but even the so
berest and most orderly Of men are apt
to relax and prone to carelessness at
bedtime, when more or less worn by
the wear and tear of the day. In this
condition the winding is apt to be done
in jerky, irregular sort Of way or too
far or not far enough. mine people
out of ten wind their watches on going
to bed" said the jeweler, ''but if they
would do it when they get up, at some
regular point in the process of making
their toilet, they would do it much bet
ter."-Philadelphia Record

to his circle of acquaintance, placed
his stable at the mans disposal and
did everything in his power to make
life pleasant for Dumas friend After
the lapse of fourteen days the man
suddenly disappeared and with him
the best horse in the merchants stable.
Six months later the merchant visited
Dumas and thanked him for the kind
of people he recommended to his con-
sideration. Dear friend" he added,
''your friend is a shark. He stole the
best horse in my stable" Astonished,
Dumas raised his hands toward heaven

science of Bell Ringing.

Curious AlmshOuse.

The most curious almshouse in Eng
land is st. Mary's hospital at Chiches-

in the church, which is a fine old build
ing dating from 1850. 1t was originally
a monastery, but when Queen Eliza
beth came to visit there she turned it
into an almshouse to endure as long as
almshouses exist. The old ladies have
two neat little rooms each down the
sides of the main church, with win
dows looking out on the garden. They
have each coal supply, kitchen
range, water and gas. At one end Of
the church is the chapel, where daily
services are held. The choir stalls are
beautifully carved old oak, the original
seats that the monks used. The church
stands in a quiet little square.
