Invention as a Business.

Commenting on recent article
whose writer laments that more per-
sons do not take up inventing as q
regular business. the Electric Review
tLondon) says: I'VE doubt whether
inventing in the highest sense can be
made business to be learned by any
body. Inventors are born, NOT made
Our own country is not lacking in the
divine inspiration, If we are to judge
by the number Of patents applied for;
different conclusion might be ar
rived at if we were to judge by the
quality. America appears to be the
special breeding ground Of the inyen-
tor. The peculiar mixture OF all races
in that fortunate land appears to have
produced kind OF superman who
alone is capable Of creating such dia-
bolical inventions as the cash regis
ter and the automatic telephone ex-
change"

Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to a camel
among plants is a curious specimen
of the cucumber family which bears
the name of the 1bercillea soborae.

of the desert and ii has to go without
water longer than the animal. AS

sand throughout the entire period Of
drought. nut when the rain comes it
springs into activity.

A French nerve doctor was called
to treat an American visitor for acute
neuralgia. Electricity was applied
with excellent results. The patient,
gratifled. promised TO send the doctor
a check. The next day the medico
was astonished to deceive check for

take had not been made and received
further expressions of gratitude. A
few days later the American sent title
deeds for a house near Arc de Tri-

Gil Bias vouches for the story and
says the doctor has just moved into

CALLED FOR SLIGHT SEVERITY
Indian viceroy Departed from itlss
Policy of Kindness

Lord Lawrence, one of the famous
viceroys q India, was an able and
very simple man. He used to do his
work in his shirt sleeves. and dis
coursged as much as possible all state
and ceremony. He was inclined to
treat the natives like children, al
though he always strenuousiy insisted
upon their meriting and receiving JUS
tice and kindness. lord Mayo went to
India to succeed him, and on the last
afternoon before Lord Lawrence was
to leave for home he took the incom-
ing viceroy for a drive. On the way he
impressed his doctrine of kindness
very emphaticaIly and solemnly Or his
successor Lord Mayo thanked him
for his helpful advice, and they re-
turned in dne course to the govern
ment house. The syoe or footman.
was slow and awkward in opening the
door of the carriage, wseFeupon Lord
Lawrence jumped out in temper and
gave his ear an unmissakable tug.
Lord Mayo turned to the viceroy's aid
with a smile. My first practical les
son in kindness 10 natives undoubted-
ly is an odd one he whispered
