Blue Blood.

In the "Zeltschrift Fur Deutsche
Wortforschung" r. F. Arnold recently
called attention to verihcation OF the
origin of the we'll known term blue
blood" In Goethe's preface to the
German translation Of salvandy's
French novel, "Alongo" Q820 occurs
the following passage, "a man Of 50
red and even 80 blue blood as NINE"
to which the author adds the e1plana-
tory note, ain some parts of Spain, es-
pscially in the kingdom OF Valencia,
the arstocracy is divided into different
classes, according to the color Of the
yellow, red and blue blood" In the
opinion OF the "Polltische Anthropo-
logisehe Revue" the blue blood" re-
fers to the blush blood shining through
the veins Of the skin that distinguish
ed the hidalgos, the Spanish nobility
Of German descent, from the red and
yellow blooded natve-that is. the
darker type.

An Ancient Abbey Burned.

The beautiful abbey of st. German
end st. Mary at Selby, Yorkshire, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire few
weeks ago. Portions Of the building
dated from 1906. Its architecture, ow-
ing to additions at various periods, was
Of many styles, but the nave and choir
were among the most beautiful and
perfect specimens of Norman architec-
ture In England. The local fire brigade
found that the fire had gained strong
hold on the organ, new instrument
recently installed at cost Of $4,000.
Their efforts had hardly any effect OH
the fire, which, having destroyed the
organ rose to the roof Of the choir and
spread with remarkable rapidly among
the seasoned oak timbers.

A Help to the Health of Those with
Bald Heads.
An eminent American who while in
Paris consulted famous physician OF
that city to ascertain If there was any
remedy for badness was told by the
doctor that the best thing to do was to
wear toupee or wig. The American
said that he always regarded the wear
ing of q wig as an evidence OF mans
vanity. but he was quite surprised
when the French physician replled'
"You are quite mistaken. The wearing
of n wig Is regarded by those who have
carefully studied the subject of health

Calls Beauty to It's Service.
Advertising has indeed become an

much of the energy that Is now mis-
directed, much Of the money that IS
now prodlgally wasted in destroying

best Of public Journals-those whlch
are recognized az the most desirable
mediums for advertising and when
consequently obtain the highest prices
for their services-make IL rule 10
classify and restrict In n judlcious
manner the advertisements that they
print. They confine them to certain
parts of the publication, they restrict
their display to certain decorous styles

columns or to display them In incoher-
ent fashion according to the whims OF
the advertisers would largely destroy
the very objects held In view. The
readers Of these journals would resent

Novel Musical Instruments.

Puccini, the famous Italian composer
and author of La Boheme," employs
many musical instruments not known
in this country in his latest work,
MADAM Butterfly" A new instru-
ment called the celeste Is to be used
for the first time in America. 1t IS
made in London and consists Of Sc
rles of bells in two octaves Of the
chromatic scale, tuned to normal pitch,
with a keyboard similar to that of
piano and played like it. There is also
a double set of tympani In sets OF
three tambours. A viola di gambia and a
viola di amore were employed not long
apo by Charles Loeffler Of b lon SYM
phony fame in his symphonic poem,
"The Death of Tintagiles." He used 1t
in an obligato with the orchestra. Both
of these instruments are obsolete as
far as general use Is concerned, but
Puccini has revived them. There are
said to be only two viola di amores
In America. The celeste is strictly a
modern instrument and was used first
In TschaikOwsky's "Casse Voisette"
c"The Nutcracker'O, a series or SIX
character dances Of old France.

Professor Arsonval Of the French
Academy of Sciences has made re-
port Of the result of a remarkable ex-
pertinent by DR.. Stephan Leduc at
Nantes. DR.. Leduc has succeeded In
producing a plant in an artificial way.
The "seed grain" is pill about one
millimeter In circumference and con-
sists Of one part Of sulphate OF copper
and two parts Of glucose. The pill Is
placed in a gelatin solution containing
3 per cent Of ferrocyancalium and
small quantity Of salts, such as are
found in sea water. The plant that de-
velops is a kind Of sea weed. Some OF
these artifcially produced specimens
attain a length Of forty-hve centime-
tiers. These plants are subject to the
same influences as are the natural
ones, such as the sun, ETC., but they
cannot propagate.
