The GuiIIotine.

The machine employed In French
public executions has the reputat ton
Of being the invention of DIR. Guillotin,
but the machine was used long before
the doctor had seen one. All he did
was to publicly encourage preference
for this means of death as being pain
less, and In consequence some one, I'M
happily for the doctors humanity,
named the machine after him. The
guillotine was really prepared by a
German mechanic named Schmidt I'M
der the direction Of Dr. Antonine Louis
and hence at first was called lou
ison" or "louisette"
And here it may not be out of place
to mention the cognate error that Gull
lotin was Its first victim. He nearly
became a victim of the revolution, but
he escaped, and after the ending of his
political career he resumed his duties
as physician and became one of the
founders of the Academy OF Medicine
In Paris. He died May 20, 1914, aged
seventy-six, but the French revolution
died twenty years earlier. The first
man executed by the guillotIne was a
highwayman, who died La 1892.

One often hears comments passed up
on the administration of the law by
local magistrates, but while 1t may
sometimes leave little to be desired
1t Is not so glarlngly crude as it often
was in earlier times.
1t is on record that the Montrose
bailie, after hearing the evidence In
a breach of the peace case, fined both
the accused and all the witnesses half
a Groom
The witnesses naturally resented this
decision, but the bailie, with his mind
made up, refused to bulge from the po-
sition he had taken up and defended II
with the remark:
1T disna matter; he had nae business
there. Half Groom apaice."
The same bailie was trying another
case in which difficulty arose regard
ing the nonappearance of a witness.

ness was defunct The magistrate.

Magyar Music.

OF Magyar art music seems to have
gained the widest admiration, and 1t is
certain that musical executants of the
first order, and In the case Of Liszt of
unique grandeur, have justified part
Of the expectations with which musical
Europe has long looked upon Hungary.
Magyar music can be likened to moth
ing more aptly than to the exclusively
Hungarian river Thesis. Capricious
and majestic, teeming with life and
sildng up for miles, surrounded by
charming Torture of water lilies and
alder trees and suddenly again by poi
sonous marshes and swamps, such is
the Thesis, such is Hungarian music

war dances after the victory. But, like

Mistakes III punctuation have often
led to ridiculous blunders. Some time
ago In an article telling of the opening
of new hospital in New York the
writer was made to state that ian ex-
tensive view is presented from the
fourth story of the Hudson river"
The omission Of comma In paper
announcing the death of famous man
made the sentence read, His remains
were committed to that bourne whence
no traveller returns attended by his
friends"
The reputation of DIR. Pond. an emf
nent theologian, was nearly ruined
back In the fifties of the last century
by typographical error. A paper
came out with an account telling how
the divine had given a series of lee
lures In Bangor, Me-, to the effect that
theology was no science and that there
was no truth In 1t whatever. The
world rose in arms, and the unfortu-
nate Pond was heaped with abuse as
being a gross infidel In time the pa
per in which the first account appeared
printed a paragraph acknowledging
that the excitement was all caused by a
typographical mistake, the typesetter
having used the word theology instead
of phrenology.

A Worm That Chevvs Iron.

Some years ago the engineers en-
ployed on the railway at Hagan, In
Germany, were puzzled by accidents
which always occurred at the same
place. The government sent com
mission to the spot. 1t was not, how
ever, until six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared to be
corroded as If by acid to the extent of
over a hundred yards. The rail was
taken up and broken, when it was
found to be literally honeycombed by
a thin, threadlike gray worm. The
worm was about two centimeters in
length and about the size of a small
knitting needle. On the head are two
little sacs, or glands, filed with most
powerful corrosive secretion, which is
elected every ten minutes when the in
sect is lying undisturbed. This liquid
when squirted upon iron renders that
metal soft and spongy and of the color
Of rust, when it is easily and greedily
eaten by the little insect.-Londou En-

TIE CIRCUS.

kt In the Father of Contemporary
American Drama.
No problem is more fascinating to
the student of Elizabethan drama than
the attempt to trace its splendid
achievement to its earliest sources.
The quest leads one back to primitive
folk plays, to secular improvisatlons
and medieval renderings Of sacred
story, and all study of perfected types
shows clearly here and there the de-
terminate influence of these first at
tempts.
It is odd that no one has undertaken
q similar investigation Of our Ameri-
can drama, a species of art so dis
ttnctive from drama proper that we
are not only justified In seeking, but
are compelled to seek a partially diff
ferent origin. The material drawn
from American life, developed by
American talent and appealing to
American audiences has peculiar char
acteristics pointing irresistibly In con-
ception, development and execution to
our first artistic achievement, the
American circus, and inquiry as to
origins takes us back to our own
shall l say mediaeval?-days, when p.
T.. Barnum was perfecting the enter
tainment that was to burst upon the
eyes of an astonished world.
Though we can hardly be said to
have evolved new species, we have
given such marked coloring to existing
types of comedy that we may fairly
claim the credit of creating new va
rieties The local color play, the so
ciety play, the melodrama, the comic
opera, flourish as strictly national pro-
auctions upon our soil, differentia be-
ing perhaps more firmly established in
the case of the first two than Of the
others In ALL motif, plot, characterize
ton, setting, show Enthusiastically the in
iuence Of the great prototype already
suggested.
Circles and circles of unrelated ac-
ton, swift galloping from one to an
other lest the audience should have
time to think, the ruling out of cause
and effect in order that something, no
matter what, may happen every min

gin In the planning of a circus day 2

country can legs wriggle so swiftly,
can the swinging and leaping Of the

Between the ages of fifteen and forty

English Consumption of Meat.
Last year there were 438. $50 tons of
beef. mutton and lamb imported into
the United Kingdom, being an In
crease of about $4,000 tons as COM
pared with 1904. There were big in

In Australian lamb. The Argentine
meat companies, which are financed
almost entirely with British capital
succeeded in wrestling considerable
proportion of the chilled beef trade
from the United States. While s372

beef arrived In the United Kingdom
