Collecting will always have its ro-

as recently as the sale at Christie's
of the effects of the late Sir Henry
Irving. Some one know had been
to see the collection before the sale.
He came across a portrait with which
he was familiar, because he had seen
it 80 years before. On consulting his
catalog he discovered that the por
trait was described as being that of a
man unknown, and, further, the artist
was also unknown. Now he knew
that the portrait was that of famous
actor by a famous English painter.
He longed to buy it, but decided that
it would go at too high price. He
went to the auction with very little
hope. The Whistler and the Sargent
were sold, and then it was the turn Of
this picture. Nobody recognized it.,
Finally he had to start the bidding
himself, and this he did. Only one
man bid against him, but he soon
stopped, discouraged, and then the
picture was knocked down to the man
I, who had never expected to get it. He
hurried to the desk to pay the small
amount and to carry off his prize. DO
you happen to know anything about
that portrait?" the auctioneer asked
him, as a porter took 1t down to a
cab vi know it very WELL said the
new owner, conscious that it was now
safely his property. 1T is a portrait

ALMOST TOO HONEST.
Methodist Preacher Sends Back Part
Of Damage Money He Did Not Use.

YES" said the railway claims
agent, I'VE come across queer things
sometimes. The queerest thing in my
experience was the case of Mthodist
minister. How honest those Meth
odists are-the most honest OF all
sects.
"This man was hurt In rear-end
collision, and we gave him $4,000
damages. At the end of year we got
letter from him that ran something
like this:
my salary is $4,000, and the ac-
cident caused me to lose it for a
twelyemonth My medical expenses
were $3.50. My board at mountain
sanatorium for six months was $3.50
Other expenses due to this accident
were, in round numbers, $1,000 Total,
$4,000. You gave me $4,000. Now |
am back in the pulpit again, as well
and strong as ever, and have $500
of your money on my hands. Not be-
ing entitled to that sum, | do what
any other Methodist minister would
do in my place. return the money
to you as per check enclosed
How was that for honesty?' said

r.eri Oh Comparative Modern Date 10
Ar3lo-Indian.

Tie word Is OF comparatively mod
ern date and is Anglo-Indian. Its
origin can be traced to the adjective
bangla (Hindustani), which literally
means belonging to Bengal" 1t 10
an easy step from this to the manu-
script preserved in the India Once
(Englandl, dated 1875, which has a
reference to "Bungales or HOvells
;" for all English in the company's
service" ANY sketch Of a native
dwelling in India win show how at
first It was not unnatural to bracket
"bungaIes" with novels" The word
was in the making, and the building
improved with the word
In iii we find reference to q
dutch Bungalow" on the shores Of
the Hughley. In the eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries there are
references in Anglo-Indian CORE
spondence to wayside houses which
are spelled "bungula" and "bungalo,"
and in one instance, in 1909, journal
of residence in India describes the
bungalo as a garden house, The most
striking reference which tallies with
our own view of the building as de-
scribed by the word is contained in a
book dated 1847, which says: "The
bungalows of India are for the most
part built of unbaked bricks and COW
cred with thatch. having the center
hall, the whole being encompassed
by an open veranda," That is prob
ably the shortest and most complete
definition of the broad meaning of the
word that can be found. OF course
we build bungalows nowadays Of
many other materials besides bricks;
but the latter are used, sun dried, in
many quarters Of the globe besides
India. Primarily, bungalow is q
building specially suitable for a hot
climate where the broad verandas
make cool. shady places for sitting
outdoors. Indoors and Out.

In Park Row.

Having his watch stolen from him
and offered for sale back to him In an
hour was what happened to q friend
Of mine the other day when crowds
gathered at the newspaper bulletin
boards waiting for news Of the Thaw
jury" said q citizen to New York
Sun reporter. 1T happened this way:
"An old friend Of mine was stand
ing among others waiting for news Of
the Thaw jury when suddenly he felt
a twitch at his watch pocket and his
watch was gone. Not being sure. OF
his ground he kept his loss to himself
and walked away from the crowd,
after transacting . little business
in the neighborhood he turned toward
home. Remembering that he needed
a drink he stepped into saloon.
HE was in the midst Of his story,
telling the sympathetic bartender OF
his experience, with his back to the
door, when voice back of him broke
into the conversation, ordered drink
and asked the drink mixer II he had
any use for n watch, mentioning the
fact that there was one to be had
cheap.
The barkeeper, having my friend
In mind, asked to see the watch and
turned 1t over to my friend, who Inn
mediately recognized it as his. Turn
ing around he inquired how much he
asked for the timepiece. The thief
recognized his late victim and made
bolt for the door, taking good care
to leave the watch behind.
Now being of peaceful disposi-
tion my friend let the matter go at
that. Can you beat it?"

Linht iron sunar.

Starlight, sunlight, moonlight gas.
light, lamplight, candle light electric
light and now sugar light. A phenom,
enon whose cause has not as yet been
satisfactorily explained recently was
observed by an expert during the
course of certain experiments. Disks
of loaf sugar were mounted on a
lathe and rapidly rotated while ham.
mer played lightly against them. An
almost continuous radiation was thus
produced from the sugar. 1t was
shown that the light did not arise
from heating the sugar, and 1t is be-
lieved to have been caused by some
change having taken place in the
sugar crystals. The act of crystalliza
ton is known to be accompanied
sometimes by flashes Of light The
practical bearing Of these experiments
is on the question of obtaining arti
fetal light by methods as yet untried
