Dancers Mother Earth Faces.

Lord Kelvin. the well-known British
scientist, foresees that as the world
grows older earthquakes will grow
bigger until it is to be supposed that
Jamaica and Sumatra-latest of earth
quake victims-will sink into the sea.
In the distant time when the central
fires of the earth are burning them
selves out Lord Kelvin believes that
earthquakes will occur only at inter-
walls of a few millions of years. But
even when the earth has been cooled
down to uniform temperature
throughout and all further disruption
by shrinking has ceased a new terror
looms on the Kelvin horizon-a shat
tering and remelting of the earth by
collision with some other large bodies.

Gets Three Just the Same.

Hilary K. Adair, the well known de-
tective, was complimented in Calves
ton on an arrest that he had made.
The arrest had been mysteriously
achieved, and Mr.. Adair was asked to
explain it. This, though, he refused
to do. There are so many ways of
catching criminals" he said, laughing.
"You know what the old man told his
wife? She said first to him:
Don't talk, John. You can't say
ever ran after you
"'True, the old man assented. And
you can't say the trap ever runs after
the mouse, either, but it gathers him
in just the same"

What Women DO in Chile.

There are some oddities in Chile
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention. One is that
women act as conductors on the street
cars. Everywhere the passenger
meets the woman conductor, armed
with her bag and, as Mark Twain had
it, ''the blue trip slip for a scent fare,'
collecting the coins fully as well as
her masculine competitor and much
more politely. In the shoe stores all
the statesmen" are girls and women,
and in the telegraph offices in city and
country young women are invariably
found as operators. And they DO their
work well, too. But to offset this, in a
Chilean hotel or boarding house and
in many residences men do the work
of the chambermaid. American ladies
are always shocked to find that man
servant takes care" of the sleeping
rooms in the hotels in Chile.-Nation-
al Magazine.

What the Tree Would Have Said.

An alumnus of st. Stephens col
lege said of the late Bishop George
F. Seymour:
Bishop Seymour founded st. Ste
phen's, and we treasure here many
anecdotes about his wardenship.
"The bishop was very fond of trees.
and one day, while walking with a
young lady, he pointed out to her
some of the fine trees in the neighbor-
hood. She protested great interest
and delight. She cried:
How the noble aspect of beautiful
trees stirs up the keenest emotions
of the soul" Then, patting a great.
rough trunk she went on, You superb
oak, what would you say to me if you
could talk?
"The bishop smiled.
"I believe l can be his interpreter
he murmured. He would probably
say, 81 beg your pardon, miss; I am
a beech

Aids = Diver to Lift.

The difficulty diver experiences IN
lifting weights beneath the water is
partly overcome by new Italian in
vention, which has been formally
adopted by that government. The
mechanism is a diving suit, the arti-
fetal arms of which are worked from
the inside by the wearer. The lever
age thus obtained enables the diver to
lift objects heavier than he could
otherwise handle. In addition to this
Improvement over the old method a
high power electric light that will
penetrate the water for some distance
is placed in the helmet.

TOOTHACHE IN HIS NOSE.

Offending "MoIar" Pulled, and He Is
All Right.
A Hartford doctor, who refuses to
divulge the name of his patient, was
called to treat man for grip. He dis
covered that the patient was almost
deaf and advised him to consult an
ear specialist, who succeeded in open
ing one ear. The specialist then di-
rected his attention to the left nostril,
in which there was hard substance.
Forceps finally were brought into
play, and a good-sized tooth was ex-
tracted. 1t must have turned from it's
regular course years ago, the doctor
says, and penetrated the nasal organ.

the dedication exercises.

came.

and sat down amid roars of laughter.
