Carnegie and Greek.

From the Bookmap.
 Not long ago the University of Cam bridge was desirous of securing from MT. Andrew Carnegie large sum of money for the erection of new laboratories and the encouragement of modern scientific research Sir Richard Jebb was selected as a suitable ambassador to present the matter to MT. Carnegie. He therefore journeyed to Skibo castle, where he was received with much courtesy. After the usual formalities and some general chat, Sir Richard set forth tho needs of the university and pointed out how much good would result from such a henefaction as was desired. Mir. Carnegie listened sym alphabetically and seemed disposed to con sider the request with favor. Suddenly, however, he turned to Sir Richard and asked abruptly:
 .'I>e you teach at Cambridge. Sir Rich ard?'
 ''Oh, yes''
 Well, what do you teach?"
 Greek
 How much do they pay you for teach ing Greek?'
 Sir Richard named the amount of his annual stipend-a very comfortable sum. MT. Carnegie grunted.
 We'll quoth he at last, with a de- cided change of manner; .all I can say is that any university that can afford to waste as much money as that on Greek doesn't need any from me-
 And so ended. the interview and the hopes of Cambridge university.

THIEVES LIFE OF LUXURY.
Arlstocratlc Crooks Who Go Out for
 Booty In Motor Cars.

Paris Letter to the London Express
 gang of fifteen burglars, who lived in great luxury in a house in it's own grounds in St. Maur, have been captured by the police.
 They owned three motor cars, vIctorlas. broughams, buggies and couple of smart American trotters. The furnishings of the house were most elaborate, though erring slightly on the side of the ornate. The cuisine was admirable, an accom- plished chef being kept at large sal ary. The wines were irreproa chable
 Everything in the house was the pro ceeds of robberies. and besides the ar tcles in use enormous quantities of stolen property were packed away An adjoining building was also used as a store for the stolen articles.
 Nearly $500OO worth of property has already been found, and the examina- ton of the place is not nearly concluded.
 The thieves went out on their foraging expeditions in their motor cars. which they used to convey back the stolen goods. Their speciality was stealing from parcel delivery vans and pantechnicons, and in removing the furniture from houses into which new tenants had not yet entered.
 Their leaders were an ex-poice ser- geant, and barrister, wno had been convicted of malpractiees.
 One leader was caught entering his motor ear. His aceoniplices dashed off in another car, but they were followed by a policeman on motor cycle. who traced them to St. Aaur He brought a strong force of police. who surrounded the place and captured the entire gang.

FIONA MACLEOD.
Literary Man Who Was Thought to Be
 Woman.

From the New York World
 The announcement that the late William Sharp was the writer of the verses and tales signed Fiona Macleod" clears up one of the most ,tantalizing mysteries of anonymous authorship. Inspired suessers had tried to At these works to various writers but had concluded that there really was & Miss Macleod"
 MT. Sharp as Sharp was merely writer of talent AS Fiona Macleod' he drew near to, if he did not quite achieve, the greatness and rareness of genius The "Fdona" myth indeed found believers, because no familiar writer was thought capable of such subtle work. Mark Twain's experience in writing the history of Joan of Arc was the reverse. He was detected at once. because readers recog- nized that no one else could have writ ten 1t.
 Sharp will be unjustly compared to MacPherson, the inventor of the 'Ossian" humbug. Yet he did not try to invent a legendary self or go beyond legitimate anonymity. He made his work sound like a woman's. But did not readers for years suppose "George Eliot" was man? And what revelation of the feminine Is there in George Sands" volumes? John Olives Hobbes" was not so successful in that re- spect.
 Did not Scott himself. after as he says. Byron "bet" him at writing verse long wear a thin diguise as the author of ''Waverley?' John Hays authorship of '-rhe Breadwinners" was absolutely kept secret, though suspected. during his life time Sharp's secret was hardly even sus- pected. Perhaps he undervalued his best work. c. L. Dodgson, forgotten mathe- matician, used to rage when reminded or his identity with Lewis Carroll" the clever and unforgettable author of Alice in Wonderland"
 We should be grateful that Fiona Macleod" is not to remain a dlsputable mystery, like "Junius." But no revelation will lessen the wonder that William Sharp, author and travelled man of the world, should have been able so admirably to assume the part of the lonely dreamer of the western isles

Regeneratlne Rubber.

From tho Scientific American
 European process for regenerating old rubber has for it's principle the sep aration of the caoutehouc proper contain- ed in vulcanlzed rubber from the mineral and other matters which have been incor- porated into 1t, such as sulphur etc. The first operation consists in dissolving the vulcanized rubber in one of the usual solvents. using petroleum preferably either alone or with benzine added to it. After treating for a certain time the in- soluble matter is separated by Altering under pressure. or hy centrifugal ma chine The solution when separated from the insoluhle matter is evaporated to the conscience of sirup under reduced pres sure and Is then taken up by acetone The liquid which Is thus obtained Is first boiled and then decanted off and the rubber is again taken up by an alcoholic soda solution, After boiling and pouring off second time the rubber is treated with boiling alcohol. After the alcohol is taken off, the rubber is washed with wa ter and then dried by superheated steam, which removes the last trace of alcohol and water 1t may contain.

Sample of the Struggles Green Com
 mittee Clerks Have With Names.

Washington Letter to the New York
 Times.
 The struggle that a new clerk of a congressional committee makes with names of men and places which he has never in his life before heard was illus trated today by an experience of Repre- sentative Acheson of Pennsylvania.
 Mir. Acheson has been trying to get . public building at Charleroi, the town in his district noted for it's glass industries. He went to the room of the committee on public grounds to arrange. hearing. The chairman of the committee was changed the other day and Representative Bart holdt of St, Louis holds the place, with the incident that his secretary had been made clerk of the committee.
 T would like to know" said Mir. Ache- son, when I can have hearing for my bill for a sl25.0o0 building at Charleroi."
 ''Where?'' asked the clerk.
 "Charleroi.'
 Charley Roy,' said the clerk. T never heard of that place before.'
 Not Charley Roy.'' explained MT. Acheson but C-h-a-r-l-e-r-o-i.'
 The clerk wrote it down wrong.
 Acheson then himself wrote it. exclaifn- ing as he finished: 'Charles the Kingl'
 Thereupon the obliging clerk, catching on to his job, wrote under the name of charleroi the additional words. Repre- sentative Charles King desires to know when he can have a hearing"
 "Oh, my, mo- interrupted the Pennsyi- vania member. My name is Acheson, and that town out there Is named Charlerol after Charles. one of the Kings of France. But never mind the Kings of France. and remember I want a public building out there.'
