Wooden Anchors,

The Basques, a strange race inter mediate between French and Span !ards, have for all time been great fish ermen, and some of their craft and seagoing gear are totally different from any other known types. Perhaps the most remarkable relic of bygone civilizations is the primitive wooden anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round Biarritz, Guethary or St. Jean de Luz. These woo-en anchors are in all prob ability of the iden.:ca! type in use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago The wooden anchor is rough hevn out Of three branches. so fasteH- ed to a crosshar. also of wood. as to in- close a great stone of twenty or thirty pounds weight. Here is a cheap but eGectual anchor for co::.D2rativeiy light boats. It can be made on the spot, ansi it entails little loss if in a sudden squall, it has to be left imbedded in the rocks.

pickens and sehooImasters,

Dickens, with something in his dis. position peculiarly sympathetic toward children, was a bitter foe of any one relative, teacher or ofScial guardian who tyrannized over them. X writer in the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight ill ex- posing the nliSdecIs of mercenary and cold hearted pedagogues. When ones notice," says the Post, lis first directed to the attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods, 1t is inter- esting to try to recall the number men, toned. Six come to mind instantly Dotheboys Hall, Dr. Blimbers, David Copperfeld's two schools-Dr. Strong and MT. Creakle's - the Gradgrind school and Bradley Headstone's in Our Mutual Friend.' But even the most devoted reader of Dickens is amazed upon special investigation to discover the sum total of twenty-eight There is not phase of education that he does not touch upon, and wrong methods are revealed and commented upon in tones so caustic and with req son so unerring that better conditions were the natural result"

Cold Flooded Animals.

The so called cold blooded animals vary from the warm blooded in the particular that their blood changes temperature in accordance with their surroundings. The temperature of a fish will be almost exactly the same as that of the water around 1t, possibly one or two degrees higher. A snakes s temperature is higher in summer than in winter, the average being S2 de- grees. A birds average temperature is 1O7. The average temperature of the mammals is 1O1 degrees.

Properties of Gold.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos phere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal is heated. It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, it confers it's properties more or less upon copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for example, twelve karat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmos- phere at ordinary temperature, but some of the copper will be oxidized during annealing Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of plat mum in an ordinary crucible and fire, but such an alloy will not be uniform. A larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidifica- ton, and homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtained.-Jewel- CTS CircularWe eekly.

Before the Bar.

The terms admitted to the bar' and "before the bar" are of English origin The "bar" in question is the barrier or railing which separates the judge and the other officers of the court from the rest of the courtroom. In earlier days the parties to a suit presented themselves before this bar, accompa- nied by their counsel. A lawyer, after keeping the required number of terms at tue inns of court and passing a sat isfactory examination, was then en titled to appear before the bar on be- half of client, or, in other words, he was admitted to the bar" The Eng fish word "barrister" suggests the tech nical meaning of this word.-Scrap Book.

Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship Of snake gods is still practlced in parts of the west coast of Africa. In Da. honey and Ashanti there are temples where pythons are kept to receive the adoration of the people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of the temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home in the houses of the people. When stray snake is found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car " him back home a#

CHANGES IN POSTAL SERVICE
Large Amount of Work Taken from
the Division of Corre-
spOndence.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1o-An important
change in the administration of the Post
office department will become effective
about February Is. when the division of
correspondence will be divided and dis
tributed among other bureaus OF the de-
partment Frank II. Hitchcock, first as
the change IN his annual report. and It has
been approved by Postmaster General Cor
telyou.
'Tt is of the highest Importance TO peo-
pie who use the mails" says Mr.. Hitch
cock. that this change should be made.
Much purely legal work now devolving
upon the division Of correspondence should
be transferred to the assistant attorney
general for the Postofhce department. This
requires careful study and application of
the law, and for an exact and comprehen-
sive knowledge of many branches OF the
law. II should fall, properly. within the
province of the principal law officer OF the
department.
"Qne function now exercised by the divi-
sion OF correspondence belongs appropri-
sral. This is the enforcement OF the
statute relative to The limit OF weight OF
mail matter. Experience has demonstrated
the undesirability Of divided RESPONSE
bility in such cases.
Another function of the division OF cor
respondence to be transferred is the man.

rect to Parliament Moscow having four
members and the other cities one each.
In accordance with RUSSIAN ideas the
counting of the votes has been postponed
until tomorrow and definite results Of the
elections are unknown, but the indications
everywheie are OF a Victory for the opposi-
ton. In several cities. notably Moscow.
the question is whether the election has
been carried by the constitutional demo-
Gratis or the socialists. The cfances of the
socialists In Moscow are favored by the
results of the workmen's elections, in which
nineteen social democrats were chosen.
Elections of peasants, land owners and
workmen were also held today In several
provinces, but no results have been received

In spite of the evident opposition char
acter OF Parliament, Premier stolypin is
quoted as saying that he hopes to nurse
along until summer before a dissolution Is
necessary. but general opinion is that the
constitutional democrats will be unable TO
hold their radical colleagues in check and
that the new parliament's life will not ex-
ceed two months. The expectation that the
dissolution OF parliament would be followed
by change IN election law is denied by
Premier stolypin, who says he believes
this would be unconstitutional.
MOSCOW, Feb i0-The elections today
were a struggle between the constitutional
democrats and socialists and the probabll.
ity is that neither party secured an abso-
lutte majority. Strong forces of police were
massed in the vicinity OF the polls and al
agitation was suppressed. AS a result OF
these measures the police stations werS
jammed with agitators before noon. There
were mounted patrols in all the streets. but
