ever, that is the license of the novel
list, and was often Dickens way, On
the other hand, there are other and
weightier reasons for believing that
he Rectory was the house Dickens
rad in view when making the Rock
cry" the birthplace of David. AS a
matter of fact, the Hall can have no
ci.tm whatever from geographical
pSsnt Of view. In the first place, the
gIevestones in the churchyard cannot
be seen from any wiRdow in the Hall,
whereas they can from the Rectory.
Thu same applies to the sundial over
the porch, which David saw from his
mothers room. 1t is true, there are,
or were, elms in each of the gardens,
but no one remembers pigeon house

The Blind Mouse.

One day while sitting under a shady
maple tree by the roadside, reading a
book, the soft, rustling sound made by
the wind blowing through field of
tasseled wheat caused me to look up.
To my surprise l saw two large field
mice slowly crossing the road to the
wheat field.
One mouse had his eyes tightly
closed, and seemed totally blind, while
the other mouse was cautiously lead.

they both held in their mouths.

HAS NoN-REFILLARLE BOTTLE.
New Yorker Claims to Have Solved
Problem In Simple Manner.

New Yorker Claims to Have Solved
Problem in Simple Manner.
A scientist some weeks ago stated
in an interview that bottle that
could not be reflled had never been
invented, that it probably never would
be invented, and that many inventors
had gone insane over the problem.
The interview went the rounds Of
the country. Other scientists agreed
the non-refillable bottle was in a
class with perpetual motion.
A young man in working clothes
called at the Sunday Telegraph office
Tuesday afternoon.
my name is Frank Waters" he
said. IT am molder. In my spare
moments I invent things. l read in
the Sunday Telegraph that a non-re-
f1llable bottle could not be invented.

down and thought diligently. The
problem baffied me. l thought hard.
er. And harder.
Zone evening I suddenly laughed
aloud. The easiest and most natur'
al way had suddenly come to me.
Then I made the non.retlllable bot.
tie.
Il took an ordinary bottle whose
neck was slightly bulged and filled
the neck with stone cement so that
when hard it could not come out.
Then I ran tiny pipes through the
cement. one extending to the bottom
of the bottle, which l had already
filed. Then l turned it upside down.
The water ran out of one of the
tubes So far so good. took small
funnel and did my best to return the
water to the bottle. 1t was no use.
I had invented the non-refillable bot

The water Is forced from the bot
tie by air, which gets behind 1t
through the tube which extends to the
bottom of the bottle. 1t is air also
which prevents the water from being
returned. 1t cannot be forced through
either pipe because Of the air which
gets in through the other.
The principle can be understood by

Do you know the origin of the
phrase, "Up Salt River? Before
steaD', navigation along the Ohio was
carried on by fatboats which were
rowed UP stream. This was particu-
larly hard work, especially up Salt
River, dangerous, crooked branch of
the Ohio River in Kentucky. When
slaves were to be punished this was
a common method employed by their
owners. Hence, at election times, peo-
pie refer to sending the defeated can
didates up Salt River" as penalty,

which means clothes? Hence, a dude
is one very fond of clothes.

The Church.
Dickens found it, and as one ap-
breaches it one is struck by it's ideal
situation, hemmed in, as 1t were, by
the chief high roads of the surround
ing country, everything fresh and
glowing in the summer picturesque
ness, and the whole place nesting in
peaceful seclusion. One can well i'm
agine Dickens falling in love with it
as he did, by rambling through the
green lanes to such a charming VIII
lake so perfectly English in all its
characteristics.
Little David, as everybody who has
read his personal history knows, was
born in the Rookery. and there can be
little doubt that the Rectory of to-day
was the house which Mr.. Copperfield
bought" and named the Rookery,
because che liked to think there were
rocks about it." There are still elms
in the garden, but the strong wind
which made them bend Ito one an
other, like giants who were whisper
ing secrets" and causing the wealth
erbeaten ragged old rocks nests bur-
dening their higher branches" to
swing like wrecks upon stormy
sea-" had given place when l visited
It, to a light summer breeze which
quietly famed their leaves. There is
another house-Blunderston hall
which has made claim to being the
rookery on account of the. fact that

Of David's birthplace comedies more
fully with it than it does with the
Rectory. And, further. when Dick
ems was visiting the spot and called
at the hall for the purpose of becom-
ing acquainted with it's interior, he
made himself known to the old house
keeper who was in charge of the
place at that time, and had her per-
mission to enter

the garden of the Hall, while ssch a
piece of architecture is clearly recall
ed at the Rectory. And, again, it will
be remembered that David met Mr..
Murdstone and Mr.. Quhion, after his
mothers death, while he was turning
the corner of lane near" his house,
and after strolling with them he re-
turned home. Looking back" he
sayS "ss / turned into the frcnt gar
den, saw Mr.. Murdstone leaning
against the wicket of the churchyard
and Mr.. Qrinion talking with him"
This world not be possible from the
HALL, but If any one will take up a
similar position at the wicket gate,
the Rectory will be seen, and one will
recognize how particular Dickens was
as to his minute geographical details.
Another point in favor of the Rectory
being the "Rookery" will be found in
the hedge of the front garden. which
divided Mr.. Murdstone on his horse
in the roadway from David's mother
in the garden, when they walked up
and down conyersing. Then, again,
take that delightful little incident of
Peggotty's, when David was packed
off in Mr.. Barkis' cart on his way to
school. David and the carrier had
gone some little distance when Peg
gotty burst from a hedge and climbed
into the cart and presented David
with bags of cakes" and purse con
tanning three bright shillings which
she had evidently polished up with
whitening" Dickens had studied the
geography of the village so well as to
make this little incident possible.
The cart would have to travel the
road on two sides of the field adjoin-
ing the Rectory, and Peggotty would
have just had time to reach the Sec
ond corner by taking a diagonal run
across the field, which no doubt she
did. This would not be possible in re-
gard to the Hall.

SPLENDID FIGHT
ON FOR TONIGHT
ALL THE MEN ARE FEELING FIT
AND ARE IN GREAT SHAPE FOR
TONIGHTS GO.

Tonight the fight fans viii gather at
the Orpheum and watch the Welter-
weight champion of the Hawaiian ISL
ands defend his title against silva the
demon from Punchbowl The betting
is all i'm favor of Sullivan the champion,
but still there is plenty Of Silva money
i'm sight and his friends are not vast
ing any time in placing it.
Tonights first event will be royal
struggle and one i'm which it is hard to
pick a winner. 1t is conceded by the
fans that if silva ever hits Sullivan
with one of those mighty body blows
Of his that Sullivan will collapse. on
the other hand it is thought by Sui
livans friends that he is too wary and
light OF foot to let the demon get
near him. 1t promises to be a lengthy
battle and a good one.
The second go on for tonight is be-
tween Sailor Morch and Huihui. Both
of these boys have worked hard and
trained faithfully. Morch does not
claim that he will win but he states
that he win give Huihui a run for his
money. Huihui is rather shying off
at the match and will go into the fight
tonight knowing that he will have the
fight of his life on his hands.
Young Barry and All Sam viii raise
the curtain with four round go. All
| Sam has been working with Sullivan
and has improved much. Young Barry
| is fighting and working up his form I'M
der the direction of Young Nelson.
! And so the fight tonight should draw
! a big crowd for from the first round it
| viii be sport and clean sport. Sport
that will have the audience on its tir
| toes for the while.

The Declining Birth Rate.

1t is not only i'm this country that
declining birth rate is arousing much
discussion and in some quarters much
apprehension. We have been familiar
for several years with race suicide
talk and now the Europeans are taking
of the same theme. The statistics for
1904 just published in Great Britain
show that the birth rate is down below
2S per thousand inhabitants. This has
been attended with a decrease Of ~ per
cent. in the marriage rate. 1t is the
lowest birth rate since accurate
statistics on this matter have been
kept. From the standpoint of those
country Is indicated by a high birth
rate this makes d distinctly bad show
ing for Great Britain. But it is worthy
of attention that in the past thirty
years there has been "A pretty general
decline i'm the principal nations of
Europe in the number of births as
compared with population. Com
parative data are not at hand for the
whole period. but for the quarter of a
century from 1876 to 1901 there was d
decline in the German empire from
400 to 35.7, in Austria from 40 to 36.9.
and in France from 26.2 to %. In
Ireland, there was an increase of the
rate between 1881 and 1891. but there
has been a marked decline in the past
10 years.
1t is usual to explain the decline in
the number of births by reference to
wars. emigration. bad crops. Industrial
depression and the like. But after
these have all been allowed their due
| weight. they are hardly found adequate
to explain the general prevalence of
| the decline. So an effort is made to
point out that higher standards Of
| living. the love of ease and comfort.
| and the fear of poverty have been
added to the other reasons. Rut this
makes 1t necessary to explain why
| there is now greater attachment to
ease and comfort than there was in
former times. Human nature remain
ing the same, similar conditions should

From any point of view it is an
interesting and complicated problem.
