ERRORS OVER THE PHONE.
Some Arc Amusing, Others Humorous
One Of the Latter.

" some enterprising gentleman
should set to work 10 write a treatise
entitled Errors over the Telephone"
he could find a sufficiency Of them in
any single community, says the Bos-
ton Herald. Some Of these are rath.
er annoying; some cause considerable
irritation, as any person who resorts
to the phone frequently can testify;
and some, again, are so funny in their
results as to take away the annoyance
caused By the laundering.
One of the latter happened one
evening last week. The hour had ar.
rived when two men, professional as
sociates and occupying the same
room in a prominent building, decided
that they should dine. TO avoid haV.
ing to wait for their meal when they
reached the establishment they intend.
ed to ~patroniae. they decided to order
it oyer the telephone.
A couple OF fine steaks, with the
usual trimmings, were agreed upon,
and the order therefor was made In
due form. Soon afterward with good
appetites they entered their res.
taurant. Everything was ready, and
the courteous waiter escorted them to
their table. The steaks were already
there - two fine, large raw sirloin
steaks.
OF course there was a surprise.
"How's this?' said one of the gentle,
men. What do you mean by setting
before MS this raw meat? We're not
in training for an arctic expedition"
Beg pardon, SIR said William, the
waiter; that's what you ordered owe
the phone
Both of the patrons understood at
once. They had ordered rare steaks,
and the order as the chop house peo.
pie got 1t from the telephone was raw
steaks. The mistake was not SO Sc
rious as to put either Of the gentle.
men In a bad humor. The waiter was
the only one who felt put out about
it, and he remarked sub rosa to him,
self as he carried the steaks back to
be broiled: Blast them telephones,
anyhow"

Pooling a Wolf.

A boy u years old, the son of a
PIONEER In Montana, observed a wolf
sneaking about one day last Jan.
uary. He took a sheep skin and
spread 1t over a low bush in such a
way that It resembled the live ami.
NAL, and after a time the wolf made
a dash for it.
He detected the fraud at once, and
instead of %galloping away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him. he dropped it and
sneaked off with his tail between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim OF a Joke. and he
felt the same as a boy who had been
April fooled.

A HISTORY OF PHYSICS.
There Is None on a Large Scale, and
One Is Needed.

There are great histories of mathe-
MATES and great histories of astron-
omy, but no history of physics on a
ground scale. Some serviceable man.
uals there are, as well an monographs
on particular topics; what seems to
be lacking is some comprehensive and
comparative survey of the whole
range. The history of any Of the nat
ural sciences, like the history Of hui
man activity, is not merely an ency-
clopaedic record of past facts; 1t re-
veals both the spirit and the wealth
which the past has ~bequeathed to the
present, and which. in due course, the
present will influence before transmits
sion to the future. Perhaps all our
physicists are too busy to spare the
labor needed for the production of a
comprehensive history; yet such a
contribution to the subject would DO
of great value, not to physicists alone.

A FOOD FOR
Sugar Of Fruits Found to Be Better
Than That from the Cane.

The favorable influence of sugar on
ability to do muscular work, which
has now been established by various
experimenters, receives new confrma-
ton from the researches of Mile. varia
ktpiani, as reported in the Walbaum
Zentralblatt fur Gynekologie. Saws
the writer Of an abstract in Modern
Medicine:
After long muscular work or fast
ing, 1t was found that the taking of
sugar was followed almost instantly
by an increase in ability to do work.
The theory is that sugar lessons the
production of albuminoids, and so pre-
vents the production of fatigue prod.
ucts, while at the same time furnish.
Ing material for the support of mus.
cular activity. -.
THE great objection which has
been found in the use of sugar for the
purposes named has been the irritat-
ing effects of cane sugar upon the
gastric mucous membrane. This was
clearly demonstrated In experiments
made with the soldiers Of the German
army. The experiments of Ogata and
others upon dogs have shown that
cane sugar, especially when taken in
a concentrated solution. is extremely
irritating and gives rise to gastric
catarrh. These effects, however, do
not follow the use Of fruit sugars.
These are natural sugars which are
adapted to the membrane and
do not produce irritation by contact

PLANTS FORCED BY GAS LIGHT.
Growth Of Plants by Artificial Light
Shown to Be a Practical Scheme.

EFA
Sunlight, hitherto regarded as abb
soIutely indispensable to plant life, has
found a rival in ordinary acetylene
gas. Vegetation need not pause in its
growth when the sun fails to shine.
but under the cheering influence OF
acetylene's rays may wax large and
lusty.
Prof. John Carig Of Cornell univer.
sity, New York, in a series of expert
ments, recently discovered that of ar
tiicial iIluminants none is so closely
akin to sunshine as are the rays OF
acetylene gas.
Prof. Craig's experiments show the
great possibilities of his discovery.
Large, luscious strawberries were
forced 16 days before the first crop is
ordinarily matured, according to an
article in the April number of the
Technical World. Likewise radishes
were ready for the table In three
fourths of the usual time, and, more
over, in spite of an increase in size
