Bricks Made Of Flour.

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 compress
sion. With hydraulic pressure ap-
paratus the flour is squeezed into the
form of bricks, and experiments are
reported to have shown that the pres
sure destroys all forms of larva 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
-four in the ordinary state.

Provocation Enough.

A deaf old gentleman dined with
family where grace was always
said. When the guests were seated
the host bowed his head and began
to repeat the accustomed verse in
a subdued, reverent tone.
"Eh? What's that?" demanded
the deaf old gentleman, who sat be-
side him.
The host smiled patiently and be-
gan again, in a louder, more depre-
catory voice.
Speak a little louder. l don't
catch what you say the old gene
tleman persisted.
A low ripple of laughter went
ROUND the table. The host, his face
crimson with embarrassment, raised
his voice and repeated the verse.
The deaf gentleman did his best to
hear, but failed. He placed one hand
upon his hosts arm.
What did you say?" he demanded
irascibly.
The host cast him an angry.

EXTINCT CAHAW FOUND.
Curator of Bermuda Museum Discov'
ers skeletons With Hawk Beak.

ers skeletons With Hawk Beak.
Louis L. Mawbray, curator of the
Bermuda Museum of Natural Hist
ory. will visit the Smithsonian lnst1-
tuition, in Washing ton, for the purpose
of exhibiting to the experts there sew
enal skeletons Of an extinct bird,
which he had the good fortune to una
in a recently discovered cave in Ber-
muda.
This bird, that has failed to get
place in the who's Who" of feathered
folk of modern times, was many huno-
red years ago known as the oanaw'
from the peculiar noise it made, and.
while it was web footed, 1T had
beak very similar to that of the hawk.
It was supposed to be a cave dWeller
and to have the habits of an owl, mas
much as il was never seen or heard
except at night.
When white men first set foot on
Bermuda there were traditions among
| the natives of the cahaw, that nau
disappeared many generations before
| the time of the hoariest inhabitant,
and for more than a hundred years
scientists have been disputing among
themselves aus to whether such a bird
ever existed. Mr. Mawbray believes
he has settled the question.
To all except expert ornithologists
there is quite as much interest IN the
cave where the skeletons We're found
as in the bones themselves. The
cave was discovered last january by
some negro boys, who by means OF
ropes let themselves down into a hole
thew found in a spot of waste land
and came upon great chamber with
a:eaming white walls and lake OF
ice cold water. They were in search
Of stalactite crystals and reported
that they had found them IN great
abundance.
Mr.. Mawbray became interested in
the stories of the wonderful cave and
explored it himself. He was Obliged
| to swim across the lake, and on the
crystal shore on one side he found
several skeletons of the long lost bird.
In one spot he found several feathers
completely encased in calcite, which,
so far as he knows, are the only speci-
mems of the kind in the world. Many
of the bones were encrusted in the
| calcite and all were in a good state
of preservation. The bird, according
to the feathers found, was white be-
low and its back and wings were OF
a russell color. These colors, he says,
correspond perfectly with the best de-
descriptions obtainable of the an
cient bird The cahaw was about the
size of pigeon.
The cave, which rs midway between
Hamilton and st. George and in the
| east end of old Bermuda, is about
three miles from the ocean. but it is
the belief of Mr.. Mawbray that in the
time of the cahaw it had an opening
to the sea, and that the birds came
in that way. He said the present ent-
rance to the cave is a jagged almost
perpendicular hole down Through the
rock, and that the immense chamber
and lake were $50 feet below the
surface. He was sure that the birds
never entered the cave through that
hole. The lake is about $50 feet long
by $50 feet wide. and the cavern is
dome shaped and a place of dazzling
beauty when the crystal walls are
revealed by a strong light. An emit
rance is being made TO the cave, and
it is to be one of the show places of

Shy One Fare.

Inspector johnson, of the Columbus
Railway company. .ells the following
story of one of his new conductors:
The inspector had boarded car on
one of the East Side lines and glanc-
ing at the register, noticed that there
were nine passengers on and only
eight fares. He touched the conductor
on the shoulder, green man from
the country, and said:
you are shy one fare. There are
nine people on the car apd only eight
fares collected

that's right" and hastily grabbing the
bell cord, he stopped the car and yell

them to "git off"-Coiumbu Despatch.

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE.
Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof of Deafness Also.

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill, vas a passenger on a Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to couple of clerks who were
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite a high pitch, says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
if any one was listening to the talk
of his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence of the dignified
Justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake, lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf also" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark it is i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same, a
calm smile fitted over his face at
the conclusion of the young fellows

There are honest makers of foods

honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
of kind to understand it.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not taint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.

many thousand from people who have

You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the

OF knowledge, makes not the slightest
