A story of the great Bishop Selwyn
Of New Zealand is told by Commander
Gambler of the British navy in his
book. The bishops missionary yacht,
the Southern Cross, touched a coral
reef when entering the harbor Port of

necessary to examine her bottom, but
the sharks were 50 numerous and so
daring that nobody would venture into
the water $50 the bishop, who held
that if man showed a bold front to Il
shark he would sheer off, went over
board himself with a long, sharp knife
in his mouth for defense, and, diving
under his vessel, ascertained the dam

sufficiently to enable him to nail on

Wells as Weather Prophets.

A popular idea in Switzerland that
some of the wells in that country are
reliable weather prophets has been
proved by scientists to be we'll found
ed. These wells, by some sort of pres
sure, not clearly understood, have the
property of drawing in air at certain
times and Of blowing out air at other
periods In order to ascertain definite
ly if there was any truth in the idea
of weather prophecy the wells were
covered and a small opening was sur
mounted with a Z shaped pressure
gauge. 1t was found that when the
barometer rises the air rushes into the
wells in a steady current, and when
the barometer falls the air rushes out
The currents of air are definite and
easy to perceive, even without the
gauge. The general tendency of the
weather is foretold with considerable
erldinty.-Chicago Tribune.

Better Than Song.

A workingman, fond of his pint OF
beer on Saturday night, got very mud
died sometimes. Knowing that his
wife on such occasions searched his
pockets, he, when not too far gone
used to secrete his money in various
places, and it often happened that the
next morning he could not remember
the hiding place. He had canary
which used to hang in front of the
window. One Sunday morning he was
sitting looking at the bird when a
neighbor looked in and inquired if he
would sell it. AS the bird was not
much use for singing, he reached the
cage down for his neighbor to look at.
whereupon his wife got very angry
and hung up the cage again.
Il will not have that bird sold on any
account" she exclaimed. 81 don't care

Hickory Trees.

1t Is rather pity that our hickories
should receive highest appreciation
from rs when they are yielding up
their substance in roaring flames in our
fireplaces. For nowhere in the forest
world can we find a genus Of trees
that is, as whole, more attractive
and valuable than the genus hicoria
Most of the hickories are beautiful in
summer when their glossy foliage is at
its best. In autumn this foliage turns
the color of uncoined gold, and when
bare of leaves there is revealed an
Oakl1ke twist to the branches which
makes these trees most picturesque
and beautiful objects in the winter
landscape. We have never made as
much commercially of the nuts as we
might well have done. Our Indian
predecessors knew how to make a
most attractive beverage from them,
and the early settlers pressed from
them an oil that was a luxury. The
pecan is the only hickory species that
has been developed and cultivated to
any extent and this has only recently
begun its career as a cultivated tree

ElEciNE.

Gracefulness is of course the highest
object of the dance among all peoples,
but their conceptions of what consti-
tutes grace differ widely According
to a student of dancing, who has wit
messed tens of thousands of dances in
all parts of the world, who has pene-
trated to the interior of Africa and the
desola:a mountains of western China,
there are three dances that, to his
way of thinking, are equal in beauty,
In grace and in the poetry of motion.
These are the dances of the Javanese
Mohammedans, especially the 'love
Dance" in which only the younger wo-
men participate; the tarantella of
Christian Italy and the butterfly dance
Of Japan. That dancing loses in poetry,
In fire, in meaning, as civilization in
creases is the belief of this student Of
the art. The modern dances Of civiliz-
ed nations, especially as expounded on
the stage, are not only meaningless and
lacking in the beauty of the original
dance. but actually degenerate and
merely physical contortions that, while
they may be rhythmic and graceful.
are as insipid and as meaningless as
the waddle of a duck.-Chicago Trib-

The Public In Speculation.

The public as body never buys any
thing when it is cheap. There are nu-
merous reasons for this. To begin
with, the point Of view of the success
full Spectator and that Of the public
trader are entirely different. The first
named operates on deductions, on care
fully erected theories of what condi-
tons will be /. year-two years-hence.
The unsophisticated trader acts upon
whatever of the future is already ap-
parent. 1t is again platitude to say
that Wall street discounts everything,
good or bad, but how many people
who mouth this axiom extract it's full
meaning? They do not realize that this
discounting means, not the gauging of
the known, but Of the wholly unknown.
The man who acts today on the proba-
BILE conditions of the long. unseen flu
ture is the man who makes money, in
Wall street or in any other enterprises
for that matter, and the man whose
mind goes farthest ahead makes the
most money. eff l could only see the
tape a month aheadv cries the tyro.
There are many men who see it year
ahead, not in it's flurries and fractions,
but in its great and important entirety.

Furs Not Always What They Seem.

Does the average fur buyer know
that the far eastern mink is simply
dyed marmot with the black stripes
painted in with a toothbrush? Does
the buyer know that the low priced
black lynx sets are nothing but COM
mon wildcats or Roumanian cats or
in some cases soft Chinese wolf skin?
Does he know that the white ermine
pillow muffs selling for song are
really weasels, and yellow weasels at
that, since a white weasel commands
almost as high price as its dear rela-
tive, the ermine? Then the sable lynx
scarfs and muffs that sell for a few
dollars are of course nothing but coney
or hare while the cheaper caracal sets
are simply kid astrakhan, which is
something entirely different from cara
cal-as different indeed as ordinary
Persian is from broadtail. The beau
tiful imitation white fox sets that ap-
pear also are generally moufon, or in

Luminous Paint as Night Lights.

The connection between earthquakes
and luminous paint would hardly be
apparent to any one without explana-
ton. 1t nevertheless exists, and the
use to which it is put invests it with
the utmost Importance just for the few
critical moments of the shock In the
Philippine Islands, where earthquakes
are not uncommon, small metallic
plates coated with luminous paint are
so placed about the premises that at
the first warning the inmates are
quickly guided to the door and thus to
the street. In Manila it is laid on in
patches about the bedrooms and stair
cases, serving as guides for the door
handles and the stairs, night lights be-
ing considered especially dangerous, as
likely to set fire to the falling houses
and thus to roast the inmates in their
own homes.
