Modest Contributors.

A man was coming up from Chun- chen province with a sum of money which had been subscribed for the pay ment of the public debt. He was met by robbers. who took the money and started away. He called after them that the money was subscription to the fund for the raising of the debt, whereupon they came back and handed him the money and begged his pardon for their mistake, and they gave him 10 yen extra as contribution on thelr own part. He asked their names to publish in the papers, but they said they did not want to obtain notoriety in that way and declined, but said they were glad to pay something toward helping the country.-Korean News.

The man eating fish pa: excellence Is the great white shark. It is otherwise known by the name of man eater. Oc. casionally specimens are seen on botl, coasts of the United States, though It's more customary habitat Is in tropical waters. This frightful creature attains length of nearly forty feet, and 1t is able to swallow a man whole.

Why Shells Fly Straight.

Many people wonder why the cone shaped projectiles in their flight through the air do not wabble. but drive straight ahead. This is easily explained Round the bottom of tue shell Is narrow band of copper which varies In width according to the size of the projectile. Being made of soft metal, this band Is cut by the steel riaing of the gun on the shock of eX' plosion. This action causes the shell to revolye with lightning rapidity, witt. the result that 1t keeps steady during It's flight through the air. - I.ondor Mail

The incxpert- enced citizen who tries to look at some thing with such glass Is sure to close one eye. lie can't look at the magnifled object with the other eye opened, as can the jeweler.
