Russian Lady Of title Who Pur-
chased the Libraries Of Vol
taire and Diderot.

Empress Catherine II, Of Russia was
great reader and lover Of books,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. One
of her services to letters In Russia
was the purchase Of the Libraries OF
Voltalre and Diderot. She was a warm
friend and admirer OF these French
philosophers, and their work interest
sd her, because she was eager TO learn
new theories of politics and govern
ment. Voltaire's library Of about
1000 volumes 10 now a part OF the
Russian imperial library in the Her
uiltage palace, and in the hall devoted
10 1t is Houdons statue Of Voltaire.
The story Of GATHERINGS purchase OF
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t
lis creditable to her tact aud her gem
erosity. Diderot named G15,000 as the
price Of his library. Catherine H..
offered him e16,O00, and named as a
condition Of the bargain that her pnr-
chase should remain with Diderot un-
til his death
Thus Diderot, without leaving Paris,
became GATHERINGS Librarian in his
own library AS ber librarian he was
given yearly salary Of $1,000. One
year this salary was paid. Then
Catherine wrote to her librarian that
she could not have him or her library
suffer through the negligence OF a.
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set
aside for the care and increase OF her
library for SO years. AT the end OF
that period she would make new ar
rangements. A check for E25,000 ac-
companied the letter.

FROM BRAIN TO BRAIN.
Hint of the Possibilities Of Communi-
eating ideas Without the
Aid of Signs.

A scientific writer looks forward tc
the time when ideas will be conveyed
from brain to brain without writing
speaking, or other mechanical proc
esses, says Cassels.
He points out that writing and
speaking are simply methods by which
we signal thoughts one to another, in
what is really a slow and tedious
fashion compared with the speed Of
thought itself.
Experiments have shown that by
concentrating the mind upon some OBJ
ject for a time man Of clear ideas
can. In some cases, impress a more or
less definite record of his thought upon
the brain of another.
Here then, is a hint of the possi-
bilities of the future, when the hui
man brain, being more advanced than
1t now is, communication will 5e large
ly carried on by telepathy-a sort of
wireless telegraphy between minds.

'HE SAVED THE SITUATION.
"Dead'' Man on the Stage Displayed
Great Presence Of Mind
in Hitch.

In the second act of certain melo-
drama one Of the actors, in the role
of pOacher, was supposed to be
killed. A rival poacher, after shoot
ing him, ran on, and the curtain de-
scended on the dead man lying alone In
the center OF the stage, relates Cassells
The piece was being performed in
small country town. AT the end Of
the second act the victim was duly
shot, ard the murderer as duly made
his escape. Something, however, went
wrong with the curtain, and it did not
Sescead.
II came down to within seven feet
or so of the stage, and there it stopped.
Then whispers and frantic orders
given in low, hoarse voices, sounded
from the wings The audience tit
tered.
Suddenly the dead" man rose
wearily. He advanced to the foot
lights.
No rest, even in the grave" he said,
In sepulchral tone.
Then with his long, thin arms, he
reached up and pulled the curtain
down.

1t is often very desirable to know
how to seal letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envel-
opes closed with mucilage and even a
wafer. A hot iron or spirit lamp dis
solves the sealing wax, an impression
in plaster having been taken of the
seal. BY the combined use of wafer
and sealing wax, however, all attempts
to open the letter otherwise than by
force. can be frustrated All that is
necessary is to close the letter first
with a small moist wafer and to pierce
the latter with a coarse needle (the
same applies to mucilage), whereupon
sealing wax may be used in the usual
manner This seal can neither be
opened by dry heat nor by moisture
