sane, and having heard that there
was a man confined there who la
bored under the hallucination that he
was God the student asked that he
be allowed to see that patient first,
as he appeared the most promising
for his investigation. He was taken
to the ward where the lunatic was
confined and the following CONVERSE
tion ensued:
Student--Are you the Deity?
Lunatic-From everlasting unto
everlasting. l am he.
Student-Well; I've been looking
for you for long time. l have a
question to ask you. How do you
reconcile the doctrines of predestina-

Five Central American Republics Of
fering Their Good Offices in Bring
ing About Peace Conference.

Diaz simultaneously have telegraph
ed notes TO the presidents of the five
republics of Central America, offering
the good Offices of the United States
and Mexico in bringing about a con-
ference of the republics for a dis
cussion of plans to maintain peace
The announcement that this action
had been taken was made by acting
Secretary Adee, of the State Depart
ment. II was stated also, that the
notes would not hc made public here
until they had been received by the
Central American states. and proba-
bly, not until replies had been re-
ceived. The exact time OF sending
the notes was not made known, but
1t is possible that replies from some
of the countries already have reach
ed Washington
Mr.. Adee received Minister Cooley,
charge d'affaires of the Mexican EN-
bassy, and they conferred at length
concerning the steps taken looking
to the settlement of Central American
disputes and ending the almost in
cessant warfare between the republics

that none of the Central American
republics can afford to decline to
accept the proffers of mediation made
by the United States and Mexico, and
that this means that permanent
peace practically is assured

Women And Hairnins.

I'VE buy hairpins by the hundred
weight and sell in one form or an
other about three gross a day" said
the foreman of the notion counter
in department store.
"A woman with three or four grown
daughters buys hairpins by the pound
and buys good many pounds in the
course of year at that. Where
there is only one woman in the house
she buys her hairpins by the package,
put up in some fancy and convenient
shape. The latter way is the more
expensive, of course.
Women with hairpins are very
much like men with matches. Some
shed them as they go and never can
find one when they want it. Others
keep them where they can make up

careful sisters

Curious Fact About Platinum.

A singular property OF platinum
amalgam was discovered by Pro-
fessor Moissan just before his death.
After mercury and water are shaken
together they speedily separate into
distinct layers, but IL the mercury
contains platinum in solution the
mass swells to about five times its
original volume. forming an emulsion
that gives no sign OF change after
twelve months. The. microscope
shows 1t to consist or minute glob-
ules OF metal and water. Even when
boiled in water or cooled to eighty
degrees below zero there is no sep
aration.
The effect is the same with alco-
hol. ether, ammonia solution, turpen-
tine oil or chloroform instead OF wa
ter, but not with benzene. Anal
gains of silver, gold and copper sep
arate from water as readily as pure
mercury.--Philadelphia Ledger.
