A man was coming up from Chun-
chen province with 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 a subscription to
the fund for the raising of the debt,
whereupon they Comeback and handed
him the money and begged his pardon
for their mistake. and they gave him
10 yen extra as a contribution on their
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

The man eating fish par excellence is
the great white shark. 1t is otherwise
known by the name Of man eater &C.
casiOnally specimens are seen on both
coasts Of the United States, though its
more customary habitat is in tropical
waters. This frightful creature attains
a length of nearly forty feet, and it is
able to swallow a man whole. This
fact is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond of making when such
a shark is captured. The skull being
preserved, they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended jaws. II would be unsafe to
do this, however. when the head has
been freshly cut off, because under such
conditions the jaws will snap together
fercely for some time afterward if
anything is placed between them. The
skull of big shark, by the way, Is al
ways salable owing to the demand by
museums and curiosity hunters. A

pounds has been found in the stomach

Looks Easy, but Try IL,

Did you ever notice a jeweler wear
ing his magnifying glass in one eye? 1t
looks easy, but try it The inexperi-
enced citizen who tries to look at some
thing with such glass is sure TO close
one eye. He can't look at the magnified
object with the other eye opened, as
can the jeweler. This Is only another
evidence that one must learn all the
details of ones trade. What is easy
for the experienced jeweler is all but
impossible for the novice.-New York

Why Shells Ely STRAIGHT.

Many people wonder why the cone
shaped projectiles in their fight
through the air do not wabble, but
drive straight ahead. This is easily
explained Round the bottom of the
she'll is q 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
rifing of the gun on the shock of ex-
plosion This action causes the shell
to revolve with lightning rapidity. with
the result that it keeps steady during
its fight through the air. = London
