amount which had been paid in for
fees was $3.50. OF course there may
be a marked increase in the number
of corporations for the balance of the
month but under existing conditions
such q feature does not seem hardly
probable, and allowing that the bust
ness for the remainder of the month
will be about equal to that of the first
Is days. the amount received for fees
would figure up about $1,000.
The falling off in the amount re-

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, ii
confers it's properties more or less upon
copper and silver when these metals
are alleged 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 alleged 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-
ers' Circular-Weekly.

Wooden Anchors.

The Basques, strange race inter
mediate between French and Span
iards, 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 wooden anchors are in all prob.
ability of the identical type in use
among the Phoenicians twenty centu-
ries ago. The wooden anchor is rough
hewn out of three branches, so faste1l-
ed to crossbar, also Of wood, as to in
close great stone Of twenty or thirty
pounds weight. Here is a cheap but
effectual anchor for comparatively light
boats. It can be made on the spot, and
it entails little loss if, in a sudden
squall, it has to be left imbedded in
the rocks.

has neither the spiked tail, the horned
head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup
posed to be the distinguishing marks
OF the evil one, but he is hideous
enough to suggest all sorts of horrid
dreams and nightmares, and on that
account has been made more repulsiye
by the bestowal of his uneuphonious
common name. He is not poisonous in
any way, has no horns or sting, but is
simply a mud devil because he is re-
pulsively ugly. In general appearance
his distorted and wart covered body is
not exactly unlike that of gigantic

eighteen inches, but occasional well fed
individuals may exceed even two feet

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-
MED by their counsel. A lawyer, after
keeping the required number of terms
at the 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
lish word "barrister" suggests the tech

where pythons are kept to receive the

are not confined to the precincts of 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

Men Are Bigger Now.

Until the sixteenth century armor
developed in logical way, it's forms
were governed by the necessities Of
war, and changes in it were the re-
suit Of practical experience and actual
experiment on the battlefield. After
the sixteenth century it became fan
tastic and meaningless, gala costume
rather than a harness. The greatest
captains opposed It's use, but the no.

ton. After it was made bullet proof
1t became so enormously heavy that at
the end Of the sixteenth century it
was complained that gentlemen of thir-
ty were even at that age deformed by
the weight Of their armor. In spite Of
the huge armors Of Henry VIII, Of
Anthony Of Burgundy and Of some 9TH
ers, the average size Of the modern
man is greater than that Of the SOL

Harvell lay in the bottom Of his ca

from the shore, and the river, deep,
powerful and mysterious, tugged at the
frail little craft. But Harvell did not
heed the call. The darkness was deep,
yet luminous, with the promise Of an
early moon, and the night wind that
swept from shoreward was sweet and
heavy with the fragrance of blooming
rushes.
Haryell stared upward to the stars,

beauty Of the scene as if mind and
heart had not been given over for days

himself into the canoe to solve. Final

Cold Blooded 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 it, possibly
one or two degrees higher. A snakes
temperature is higher in summer than
in winter, the average being 80 de-
grees. A birds average temperature is
107. The average temperature Of the
mammals is 1O1 degrees.
