Enn.ror,s Unconventional Call.

A characteristic story may be related
of Emperor Wilhelm lis peculiarltleS.
One morning he made call on Count
Szoegyeny. then austrian ambassador
at Berlin. The count was dawdling
over his breakfast when his valet an
nounced. His majesty the emperor"
As the latter entered and took q chair
he said: Il have come for a glass or
beer and a chat, as l have not seen you
for so long. | will take cigarette
And how is your wife," At that mo-
ment the baroness entered the room,
and the trio held pleasant converse
for some time. Suddenly the kaiser
looked at his watch and jumped to his
feet. Good gracious. Have we talked
so long? l must use your telephone at
once to Bid the empress goodby, as l
haven't time to return to the palace
before starting for the maneuvers. l
must, however, excuse myself to my
wife" Thereupon the emperor rang
ND the empress, to whom he spoke as
follows: Don't be angry. l have chat

TOWNS BUILT ON CRATERS.
Earth GirdIed by Three Hundred Ao'
tive Volcanoes.

tive Volcanoes.
Some of the wonders Of the volcanic
world we're graphically described IN
,acture at the London institution re-
cantlv by Mr.. w. Herbert Garrison,
FRG s.. who has climbed volcanoes
in all parts of the world.
"The greatest noise on record" ne
said twas made by the eruption OF
Krakatoa. In the strait OF Sunda, De-
tween Java and Sumatra, In 1888
Here are q few striking facts about
the eruption that Mr.. Garrison men
toned:
II caused a cloud seventeen miles
high.
II was heard 1900 miles away.
II It had taken place in Cornwall, II
could have been heard in New YORK.
Constantinople, st. Petersburg, CAIRO
and Greenland.
The velocity Of the explosion was
three times that OF an Armstrong gun.
If raised tidal waves 100 feet hlgn
that invaded the land for five miles.
1t created dust finer than any rock
can be ground by man.
This dust was carried round the
earth for three years In the air.
II caused air waves that encircled
the earth seven times.
| If broke windows 100 miles distant.
The volcanoes of the world form O
"belt of fire" round the earth and are
| rarely more than 800 miles from the
sea. In the few exceptions to this
| rule the volcanoes are near large sheets
| of inland water. This tends to prove
that the proximity of water Is one OF
the main factors in the cause of erup
lions and that ii is the percolation o.
water through the earth's surface tina
leads to volcanic activity.
Mr.. Garrison explained what n
meant by the belt of fire" by showing
large map Of the Pacific ocean OF
which the volcanic centers were marx
ed. forming a rough circle, beginnin
| In South America and following tn
coast line to Alaska, then round Z
Kamchatka, Japan and the Sund
strait to New Zealand. In the cente
of the circle lies the greatest crater i
the world, in the Hawaiian Islands
which is nine miles wide.
In this belt of fire" are 800 actlv
r volcanoes, which, said Mr.. Garrison
, is a very small number compared wit
, the number once active, the quiescer
or extinct volcanoes numbering tel
/. Of thousands.

The explanation that laughter Is DIS
onnearine on account Of the sadness
Of the modern view of life is discard
od Inv Sienor f. Franceschini. an ltal
ian psychologist. He concludes tha'
mirth. like poetry, depends upon the
imagination and that the development
of tbe reasoning powers has tended TO

IN THE LOUVRE.
Artists Who Copy Masterpieces Are
Becoming a Nuisance.


The Paris correspondent OF Lon
don paper reports that agitation Is
rife among the frequenters OF the
Louvre whose profession 1t Is to sup
plv American millionaires and other
foreign art amateurs with mere or
less perfect copies of celebSted pic
lures. Every Wednesday afternoon for
some weeks exciting scenes have been
witnessed in the otherwise quiet gal
leries of the worlds greatest museum
The authorities have decided that copy
ing Is not to be allowed on those after
Moons; hence the row.
"Allons! says a polite keeper to a
bohemian looking artist as the clock
strikes -. Things have to be put
aside monsieur" Monsieur grumoles
and scarcely deigns to look down from
the top of his ladder on which he is
perched. The keeper lightly shakes 1t
or pulls the easel aside. Under such
conditions it is impossible to work.
There is no longer any liberty In
France" the artist grumbles. I'VE are
prevented from earning our living"
1T is Wednesday today" the official
politely answers.
The Frenchman eXclaims Mon
Dieuw and thinks the government Is
not satisfied with prosecuting the cler-
gy: it must also modest artists. The
Englishman or American says, what
n nuisance. The German exclaims,
"Das ist schandlich!" and so on. Gen
eral discomfort is manifested III a
dozen languages.
The most obstinate and last to yield
is said to have been an English lady
She was copying a Murillo and held
her ground. as the clergy did during
the recent explosions. To ali the en-
treaties of the keepers she replied
blandly. Yes" but continued working
1t was only when her half finished pic
ture and she herself were carried out OF
the room that she understood.
The new regulation continues to be
denounced as a violation Of the rights
of man." One old professional sale

scarce because amateurs could not ge
them done in time. Copying Is nov
forbidden on Sundays, Mondays
Wednesdays and Thursdays. leaving
only three days in the week for WORK

number is given to the copyist, ant
sometimes he has to wait months an

for a copy of a picture, and my nun

On the other hand, the authorize
state that the copyists are becoming
numerous. especially before certain II
nous pictures, that they are an II

an opportunity to look at these pi
lures. and it is In its interest that II
new regulations have been made.

HAPPINESS.
Tho Difference Between tho Sexes In
This important State.

MS Important 0taeo'
One source of women's happiness Is
to be found, we think, In their love OF
detail. They enjoy every detail OF 80
cial life. They love the minutiae or
their work They do not love II as
man loves his, for the sake OF an end.
They look close at what they are do
ing and they do not look forward.
They take pleasure In their children
as they are. A defect, even though II
he n serious one, destroys their pleas
IRE in them far less than 1t destroys
that Of a man. They are not constant
ly oppressed by the thought OF wnat
that defect will mean in the future
If a woman Is by nature apprenenslVe
her fears apply for the most part 10
little things. If man Is apprehensiVe
he fears when the fit Is upon MIN inc
debacle of heaven and earth. For wo'
men time goes little slower, They
take pleasure In each jewel OF tha'
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fretted because the pattern il
not complete. OF this quality they
have. no doubt, the inevitable defects-
much brilliance, little grasp and
tendency to frivolity. They are apt L
frltter away their lives and minds OF
little things. They become engrosseC
with the details Of play as well as tn'
details of work. Men no doubt nave
more opportunities of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni
ties are short lived. The happiness o

In the year 1900 Margaret OF Ma
varre wrote the following recipe for a
happy life" More than four centuries
have passed since, but wisdom Is ever
Young. and her quaint words are full
of good counsel now as when she pen
ned them: IF you would have happy
life. take three ounces Of patience and
three of repose and mix together with
pound of peace Of conscience. Add
AS much as the hand can hold OF lnno-
cent pastimes and of hope and pleas
ant memories three good drains. Mols-
fen these with the pleasure distilled
from a cheerful heart Add of loves
magic a few drops. but be sparing OF
these, for sometimes love brings a
flame that naught but tears can drown.
Grind all these things together and
mix with an ounce Of merriment to en-
liven. Yet all this may not bring hap
piness unless in your prisons you lit
your voice to him who holds the gift OF
| health"
