poorkeeper's Testimony as to unlueky
Number He Had Taken Startled
Internationally the "Dras'
on" Was in Luck.

The keeper of the stage door TO a
New York roof garden where some Oh
the prettiest summer girls are play
ing has come to the conclusion that
there is not much in proverbs ana
that 10 is a pretty lucky number.
The other night as he was sitting
drowsily guarding the sacred precincts
over which he plays the dragon, a
young man with nothing but money
and a thirst, and who seemed to be
waiting for somebody, invited him TO
come out and have something wet
For a moment the doorkeeper eyed
the young man uspiciously-when he
is invited to quit his post there is usu-
ally cause for suspicion. Then he
coldly explained that he couldn't get
away.
"Oh, WE'LL" remarked the other non
chalantly. 'Tll go, anyway, you can
take one when you feel like it," With
that he flung a half dollar in the door
keepers lap.
The doorkeeper slipped the silver
piece into his pocket and smacked his
lips in anticipation.
When the young man returned wip-
ing his mouth, he sat down on bar
rel near the entrance and began a
friendly confab. Pretty soon, how
ever, he grew restless again.
Have a drink" he asked the door
keeper, absentmindedly.
This time the dragon explained the
situation more graciously.
"Oh, all right. Get one when you
feel like it. I'll take mine now" and
again a silver half dollar landed in
the doorkeeper's lap.
By the time the young man re-
turned he was beginning to feel cheer
full but in ten minutes he began to
tdget.
Have a drink" he asked. The
doorkeeper started to explain, and the
young fellow said: Very WELL" and
was off again leaving the same silver
remembrance behind him.
That was early in the evening. 1t
was quite evident to the doorkeeper,
who understands every species of
Johnny by heart, that the particular
Johnny in question was feeling pretty
nervous about the girl inside. Regu-

ARTIFICIAL WOOD,
Attempts Made to Produce Ii From
Peat Eibers


Frequent attempts have been made
to use peat as raw material for the
manufacture of artificial wood. The
material must, for this purpose be
fully reduced to fibrous condition, so
as to produce fbrous and a mealy
mass. This mixture is mixed with an
emulsion OF two parts by measure of
plaster of paris and ten to twelve OF
water; and is subjected for cOnsidera.
bic time to heavy hydraulic pressure
in molds, then artificially dried, pol
ished and oiled, painted and vanished
A more simple process is to wash
the peat, without destroying its natur
al fibrous state, and to mix the result
ing moist mass with a mixture of by
drafted lime and an aluminium com.
pound Gas, for instance, aluminium
Sulphate, and press it in moldS for a
short time in the moist state, after
which the resulting plates are allowed
to harden in the air. The resultant
product needs only a comparatively
low pressure, and this for only a short
time; and is then set out to dry in the
air The resulting artificial wood is
not hygroscopinc, and in order to use
it for open air work needs no painting
or further impregnation. In view OF
the fact that the pressing operation
takes only few minutes, considerable
quantities can be manufactured in
comparatively small space of time

EAGLE PUT up STIFF FIGHT.
Monarch Of the Air Resented Interior
ence with His Dinner.

Thomas Haywood, homesteader
near Turtle Lake. Mimi, sustained
serious injuries in a desperate battle
with large eagle which had attacked
a calf. Haywood saw the eagle descend
into the clearing where the calf was
grazing and attempt to carry it away
He rushed at the big bird with a club
and the eagle at once left the calf and
attacked Haywood
The man was beaten into partial in
sensibility with heavy blows from its
wings, but managed to protect his
face by crouching on his hands and
knees. Finally he hit the bird on the
head, knocking 1t to the ground.
Scratched, bruised and exhausted
Haywood still had enough strength
left to get up and with another blow
or two dispatch the bird. The eagle
measured five feet seven inches from
tip to tip.

nople very extraordinary character,
known throughout that city by the
name Of "Solyman, the eater of zorro

the Times of 1906. He is now 100
years old, and in his youth he accus-
toned himself, like all the Turks, to
take opium, but after increasing the
dose to a great extent, without the
wished effect, he adopted the use of
sublimate, and had taken daily, for
upward of 80 years, 60 grains.
He some time since went into the
shop of a Turkish Jew, to whom he
was unknown, and asked for a drachm
of sublimate, which he diluted in a
glass of water and swallowed in an
instant. The apothecary became great

OF poisoning the Turk, but his aston

next day the Turk came again and
asked for a similar dose

Fish Dropped From Clouds.

During the remarkable thunder
storms in the state of Queensland
Australia, an extraordinary phenom.
enon was witnessed at a place called
Cooper's Plains, near Brisbane. In
the midst of the rain there suddenly
fell from the skies large number of
young fish. The fish fell at first in
twos and threes, but subsequently,
came in dozens, until large area OF
ground was strewn with live fish
measuring from one and half inches
to three inches.
Experts In the district described the
fish as OF fresh water variety never
before seen near Brisbane. The the
ory accounting for the phenomenon
most generally accepted is that the
storm generated waterspout. In one
of the rivers and that the fish were
sucked mp by 1t and carried by the
wind some long distance before being
dropped.
