To Measure Natural Gas.

When natural gas was first brought
into use in America there seemed to
be a general idea that the supply was
inexhaustible. 1t was sold at low
rates and usually without measure
ment. This method encouraged waste
in the consumption of gas, and was
shortly abandoned by the larger com
pan1es. To-day nearly all consumption
is sold by measurement. It is believed
that the time has now come when it
is possible to procure statistics of the
quantity of gas consumed, and next
year this will be undertaken The
method will give such figures in the
future that a more direct knowledge
will be obtained Of the capacity of gas
areas to maintain commercial supply
OF gas for a certain number of years.

Flour Preserved by Compression.

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method of pre-.
serving flour by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
flour is squeezed into the form of
bricks, and experiments are reported
to have shown that the pressure de-
stroys all forms Of larval life, thus
preserving the flour from the ravages
of insects, while it is equally secure
from mold. Three hundred pounds of
compressed flour occupy the same
space as 100 pounds Of flour in the or
binary state.

CORNERS The HARPs in ERIN.
Buys Up All in the Island
Durinu = II anime.

#LleWetiyn Buys Up All in the Island
During "a Famine.
It's is not generally known that one
OF the first corners formed in any mar
ket was a corner in harps. There is a
story told of one of the famous Level
lyns who had taken up his residence in
England to the effect that during the
great famine in Ireland he went
through almost every section of the
Emerald Isle exchanging much desired
gold for harps belonging to the famine
stricken peasants.
Naturally the peasants were glad
enough to sell their harps and any
thing else they possessed for food or
money to buy food, and the first thing
Irishmen knew they we're practically
barpless. Scarcely a single Irish in
strument could be scared up IN any
community, and then they began to
wonder what had become of their
harps. BY that time the dread and
horror of the famine had passed and
the ephemeral spirits of the sons of
Erin were light and would make mer-
ry, but how could they sing and dance
without their beloved harps?
Then it was discovered that one man
owned practically all the Irish harps,
and when he did part with them it is
said that the price received was far in
advance of that given some time be-
fore. History has not recorded a sec
ond corner in these celestial instru-
ments.

Black catr Football Teams Mascot.

Black Catr Football Teams Mascot.
The strange sight of black cat as
the travelling mascot of football
teram was witnessed in connection
with league match at Park avenue,
Bradford, on Saturday. EARLY in the
season fine, glossy black cat
strayed into the premises CT the Hall
fax Football club at Thrum hall. Some
members of superstitious turn of
mind perceived in this visit an omen
OF good fortune, and, in keeping with
a local custom, buttered the animals
paws. Ever since the cat has received
the kindliest treatment and fortune
has smiled on the efforts of the club.
At practice the cat takes up a
prominent position where it can view
operations and seems to take deep
interest in the players. The team has
won twenty-one of it's twenty-four
league matches this season, their
latest triumph on Saturday being over
Bradford, which is attributed to some
occult feline influence

Senator Plots Good Work.

In the French senate there Is a man
who already forced the general gov
ernment to begin handing good money
to families of five children. This is
Senator Edme Plot, a highly remarka.
BILE personality.
Son of Burgundian family so poor
that he was kept from school to work
in the fields. he broke stone on the
highways and worked over all France
as a navy; but as early as 1854 he
was taking small contracts on his own
account; and he finally became the
greatest of all French railway con
tractors.
Becoming very rich, Senator Plot
has made himself famous throughout
all Burgundy by special kind Of
liberality-the financial helping of
poor parents.
Actually, he is the great authority
on depopulation; president of the
senate committee relative to subsidies
which the law already permits to be
granted to communes for distribution
to families of five and more, and au-
thor and untiring pusher of a bill for
the subventioning of every mother of
a newborn child.

HOLY LAND BELIEFS
IMPLICIT FAITH IN POINTS ABOUT
HORSES.
Lucky and UnIucky Signs Are Many
White Stockings Highly Valued
Peculiar Marks That Show
Speed Of Animal.


The people of the Holy Land have
implicit faith in the following points
about horses:
A white star in the center of the
forehead of a horse is considered a..
lucky sign.
Small ears and a small mouth in
horse denote good breed
Two small black spots located Just
above the hoof on the whtestock.
inged left hind leg of horse is an
unlucky sign.
In certain parts Of the country a
horse is valued by the number Of
white stockings he may have. If II
have one it is said to be worth 100
coins (any coins from paras upward,
according to the breed PAGES. etc, of
the animal) If IL have two or three
white stockings It is valued I'm the
same way, but If IL have four then
the horse is said to be worth nothing
at all
A horse that is habitually paving
the ground is said to be digging its
owners grave.
A horses speed can be reckoned by
the position of the small hair twist
that Is usually found at the end of the
ribs close to the body projection on
the animals flank behind the saddle.
The higher from the ground the hair
twists the faster the animal can go.

! They were both mounted on a mag.

the sheik, and which had always been
highly valued on account Of the great
speed at which it could go After
having ridden some little distance, the
sheik asked his son to look round
and see If they were being followed.
/ The boy replied that there was some
one riding after them on a black
horse. The sbeik seemed satisfied on
hearing this report, but presently re-
peated his question. The boy an
swered that they were still being pur-
sued, but this time the horse was
white. Never mind" said his father,

In few minutes he asked further
report, and the reply given was the
same, with the difference that the
horse was a chestnut. The sheik. how.

Paris Takes Up Work.

In Paris the work has been taken
up by the Abatement Maternel-"The
Mothers Nursing"-to which in the
last ten years of his life Casimir-
Perier gave much of his energies and
considerable sums of money and
which Senator Plot would possibly Sc
lect as a nucleus for his great system
in which the state is TO pay cash for
the babies.

"eabY's Smile"

bdDyb oT1lle'
What Paris had eglected-because
modern maternity science had not
sufficiently insisted on Infancy in
augurated by enlarging and municipal
izing the private Oeuvre de la Ma
ternite of Prof. Alphonse Herrgott
called "Baby's Smile"
Prof. Herrgott was convinced that
the only way to combat the phenom-
email infant mortality of France was to
prevent any separation of the mother
and her unweaned child.
"If | give money at the start he
argued, how will It be employed?
win get results? No"
Therefore he said to each mother
quitting his Maternity hospltal
Nurse your babe from your breast;
and in six weeks come back and see
me. The babe will be weighed and
examined. If it is In fine condition,
I'll give you $40 cash"
It was the first cash for babies in
France!
And the results were magical. In
course of time Prof Herrgott had so
many mothers proudly bringing him
their superb babies-and demanding
money at each weighing the
private fortune of the good man
melted. Fortunately private donations
and substitutes from the department
came to his aid Now tho municipality
has 1t in hand; the work extends over
all Nancy, where the infant mortality
has fallen to three and one-half per
cent.-lower than in the rich wards
OF Paris, where five per cent. was con
sidered phenomenal.

and founded as early as t7S4--acts on
the principle of rendering glrl-mothers
pecuniarily attractive Its vast infu-
ence is exercised in every ward Of
Paris; and its unique gesture is to
offer money inducements to young
men to marry their victims-in a
country like France, where the in
qulry into paternity" much more the
swearing of baby, is not enforceable
by law. On condition that they marry,
the Charlie Maternelle will lavish at
tentions on the couple; but, as the
young satisfactory doctor points out,
the girl being nearly always willing,
why should she and the baby lose
their chance to patronage by the back
wardness of an uninterested third
party?
