 Scene of Herod's Time.


 Scene of Herod's Time.
 Frank Coyle, an old museum lec- turer," who has been In the show bust ness since the early days, was discuss ing some of hls early experience at the Green Room Club recently, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Coyle was telling of the growth of the moving picture shows and he gave story or two from his own experiences.
 The making of moving pictures" he said, requires much skill on the part of the actors, for mistakes made before the camera cant be rectlfied. They usually mean a spoiled string of films. I remember when the moylng-picture industry was In its infancy we had contract to make n series of biblical scenes. A quiet spot in the country was selected, and after considerable re- hearsal the machine was put Into posi- ton and set to work.
 Every one was part perfect, and things went on we'll We were congrat- ulating ourselves when word came that two of the principal scenes were spoiled and would have to be done over again. One of the spoiled scenes was that of St. John being baptized in the River Jordan.
 "The photographer In developing the scene found that there was more In the picture than we had bargalned for. He noticed in examining the string that way off some distance from St John was small boy, partly concealed by bush, fishing.
 "The other series which had to be made over was scene In which body of Roman soldiers of that period fig- ures. We had overlooked the fact, In selecting the place for the enactment of the scene. that line of suburban cars ran along a road some distance of. The result was that at intervals small but exceedingly up to date car scooted along behind the soldiers of Herod."

Promise . Little Vague.

A prominent New York lawyer says that in his earlier professional days he was glad to expand his slender in- come by bill collecting. On one occa- sion he had bill against a man who, incidentally, has since achieved sue cess which puts him beyond the neces- sity of such an indefinite statement as he made on that occasion. The young lawyer found him with his feet propped up on his desk, while he gazed drsam- fly at the ceiling through a cloud of to- baCco smoke.
 But really, sir, I Insist that you give me some definite Idea as to when you will settle," the lawyer said, after having been gently rebuffed.
 Tue author consented to lower his eyes and to wave his pipe laugudly.

there and elsewhere in Korea. thero blame or sheer at "the indifferent on looking powers" that are permitting az gressive Japan to abolish the lndepend- ence of the Hermit Kingdom and con- vert It into a mere colony. We are even told that Japan has disregarded, or proposes to disregard. the Ports mouth treaty, secure in the knowledge that no nation would dare offer any effective opposition. But all comments of this character forget the unanimous Interpretation which the world put on the very provisions of the Portsmouth treaty which Japan Is now accused of trampling under foot. If the world was right then, there Is no occasion for indignation and protests now. It Is true that the treaty with Russia os- tenslbly left Korea the status of an independent state. The Czar merely recognized Japan's predominant inter- est and influence in that "sphere" and bound himself to keep his hands off. This means a protectorate" all said. It did, and 1t does to-day. Japan sub sequently made certain agreements with the Korean government which, in fact If not in name, abolished the latter g independence. A government which must conduct all foreign relations through another and that is bound to take that others advice in administra- tive and fiscal and military matters is not Independent. But the masses of the Koreans did not perhaps under stand the exact change that had come about. The court continued to intrigue, and the mission to The Hague confer ence was unquestionably violation of the spirit of the Korean-Japanese treaty. Japan did not fight China and Russia in order to gain nominal ore dominance In Korea. Expressions of pity and sympathy for the Korean peo- pie are In order, but the interests of interests of the court and ruling poli- tcians of that misgoyerned country. The fact is, if Japan had not secured control Russia would have grabbed It, and would that have meant more prog ress and justice and order in Korea than Japanese overlordshp is likely to secure? Should Japan's rule prove en- pressve and tyrannical, the enlightened sentiment of the West will be justified in protesting. With mere changes of form and ceremonial the outside world will not trouble itself.

Hiding Place of Ancient Highway
 men Occupied by an Old Woman.
 There are perhaps many people here who don't know that England has cliff or cave dwellers, says the Philadelphia Inquirer It is so. nevertheless, and they are the most ancient houses in England to-day. These dwellings are at kinver, which. by the way. is from the old English words, Keum Vaur, referred to overlooks the valley of Stour and rises to the height of 540 feet. The rock is of sandstone and along 1t the rock dwellings have been hewn out. The only TO houses at present inhabited are situated In the huge isolated boulder at the end of KinYer Edge, known as Holy Austin rock.
 The whole of this vast natural fort ress is literally honeycombed with rock dwellings, which have been construct ed at three different attitudes. The method of construction has been to hew out the rooms and cut small apertures in the rock face for windows, in which the modern dwellers have inserted glass. The chimneys are particularly curious structures being formed of groove cut in the face of the rock, sup planted with brickwork.
 Nanny rock has been so long unin- habited that all traces of the blockwork have disappeared.
 This cave Is known locally as Mega Fox hole and it Is credited with hay ing been in the early part of the last century the stronghold and hiding lace of a notorious band of highwaymen. The oldest inhabitant of Holy Austin rock is the venerable Mrs. Chase, who dwells in one of the houses on the first floor, as it might be termed, and dispenses tea and light refreshments to visitors. Upon the third or top story is to be seen the most curious stable in England, perched high up in the rock, the only approach being by narrow pathway running round the face of the rock itself. The animal who occupies this unique stable Is quite a local celebrity, as he makes a weekly journey into Stourbridge to bring out supplies to the rock dwellers. This part of the rock is honeycombed through from side to side.

Inyents . Humane Bullet.

A French officer has invented a new projectile for firearms which Is said to wound and kill as we'll as the usual bull lets but does not present the ravaglng action of the present projectiles of re- beating rifles. This new missile Is not of metal but of paper surrounded by thin shell of aluminium.
 According to the inventor, the paper bullet, fired at the same distance, un- der the same circumstances and with the same precision as the ordinary bull let, produces thoroughly smooth wound. The number of disabled sol diers will be no less if the projectlle of the future were to be the paper bull let, but the number of dead and fatal- ly wounded would be considerably de- creased, as the shot fired with a steel projectile tends to produce blood pol. soning, while the paper bullet Is said to only bring on a curable injury.
 The inventor has sent his bullets for approval to all the governments belong ing to the convention of Geneva and the Austrian war office has ordered trials to be made of the invention.

Golfers Curious Drive.

An odd Incident occurred on Satur- day during a match at the Golf Club de Paris, near Versailles Two players in the open amateur championship were at the fourteenth tee, when one sent his drive up q tree. The ball remained climbing up, discovered It's presence there
 A great consultation arose as to what should be done. The committee heath the spreading branches of the tree, much in the fashion in whlc,, St. Louis dispensed justice in primitive France. Evidently the ball was not out of bounds. Finally the judges decreed that either new ball should be drop ped on the tee, counting two, or the ball should be played from the spot. To save the point, the golfer bravely skinned up the tree and played his ball from the embracing fork, making, in- deed, quite good stroke.
 Later in the afternoon from the same tee I witnessed another curious incl dent. The player had driven, and his ball, striking the sand box of the la- dies tee, fifty yards ahead, bounced back to its starting place. The player then drove into the bunker with his second shot, which Is also something of a performance.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Radiographic Progress.

Even the newest of the sciences radio -telegraphy- y-isshedding its earlier methods, says the London Globe. Mar conf has satisfied himself that the use of the spark and the voltaic are is be coming obsolete, and he has relinquish- ed them for the direct current. This virtually means the replacing of all the instruments in use by new ones, which will be manufactured partly in Eng land and partly In Italy. In order that it may be equipped with the fruits of this latest development of his own science, Mir. Marconi has suspended the construction of the great high-power station at COltano for the long-distance ocean service.

Daring Yankee Engineers.

The operations of Yankee engineers are a source of constant wonder and bewilderment to all foreigners. The daring way in which the Americans blow up mountains that come in their way, or string bridges over seemingly impassable canyons almost takes their breath away. On one job In South America contractor used about $SO,00O worth of powder in blasting. He employed 5000 men and completed a piece of work in less than three months that local authorities said could not be done inside of ten years. He put 5000 kegs of powder in one blast, and when the Shot went off it sent over 700 trainloads of rock down cliff into the river. There was such mass of debris that it raised the water of the stream 55 feet in less than twenty min utes. The channel had to be blasted out to let the water through. The force of this immense charge was so great that 1t sent huge boulders the size of box cars sailing over the hill like a flock of buzzards flying over a barn. Toledo Blade.

An incident which occurred in New York Is interesting, as showing in how short time women have succeeded in inspiring confidence in their ability to do work which was formerly done ex- clusively by men. The employees of the corporation counsels office celebrated the completion of fifty years of sery- fee by the chief clerk, Mir. Andrew T. Campbell. In referring to the changes which had taken place during the half century, Mir. Campbell recalled the con- motion which was caused twelve or fif- teen years ago, when it was first sug- gested that women be employed In the office: There was almost riot" he said. Then, he added, But today, if any one should suggest that we do away with the services of the twenty five women helpers, there would be something worse than riot"

The Letter G.

The letter G furnishes us a curious bit of orientalism. Its Hebrew name is gimel, camel, from the resemblance of the Hebrew character to the head and neck of that animal. The char acter was thus almost certainly de- rived from a picture of that animal, which, reduced to a hieroglyphic and then slmplified, still distantly indicates the shape of the head and neck of the beast of burden familiar to every dwell- CT in eastern lands.

Poo-EEi

The oak trees in the twilight stand Majestically tall; And fences by the sumach spanned Fringe the dark forest wall; And mid the acorn cups the swine On the plump. russet acorns dine, Until, as the night winds rustic by, There comes apace a mellow cry "Poo-ee." Then from the messy woodland bed Where thickly lies the mast" Bobs up each bristly. swinish head. With sidelong glances cast, And then with many a grunt and squea Homeward is turned each cloven heel, And while the dead leaves rustic dry, Faint sounds again that signal cry
 "Poo-ee, Poo-ee.' And with his rdged and horny hands And crumpled hat forlorn, The chore boy at the feed lot stands, With store of shining corn, His arms across the hickory bars, His eyes upon the drowsy stars, While resonantly comes his cry Quaintly, melodious, shrill and high

Where ignorance is bliss 'tls folly to be wise. The modern facilities of con- munication give us altogether too much information for our comfort about what is going on in the world. There Is danger that nervous persons may come to Imagine that there are un- usual disturbances taking place In the body of the earth, pretending some ter rife catastrophe. There Is evidently not the slightest foundation for such belief. Nothing is now happening which has not been happening since the earth was inhabited, although the probability Is that the earth, like folks, grows steadier as 1t grows older We merely hear more news than our forefathers got

CLIMBING A CLIFF.

Maj. John W. Powell, whose right arm was shot off during the Civil War, undertook and brought to successful issue one of the most daring feats of modern times. While making his ex- plorations of the canons of the Cobra do River in 1869, says the author of "The Masters of Fate" he was called upon to face great dangers and tolls. His own account of his explorations gives some idea of the difficulties en- countered.
 1 have barometer on my back, which rather impedes my climbing. The walls of the Assure are of smooth lime stone, offering neither foot nor hand hold, so I support myself by pressing my back against one wall and my knees against the other, and in this way lift my body, in a shuffiing man. ner, few feet at time, until I have perhaps, made twenty-five feet of the distance when the crevice widens a little, and 1 cannot press my knees against the rocks in front with sutfi- cient power to give me support in lift ing my body, and I try to go back. This cannot do without falling. So struggle along sidewise, farther into the creyice, where it narrows.
 I find I can get up no farther, and cannot get back, for I dare not let go with my hand, and cannot reach foot hold below. 1 call to Bradley for help ; he cannot reach me. Then he looks round for some stick or limb of tree, but finds none. The moment is crlti- cal. Standing on my toes, my muscles begin to tremble. If I lose my hold shall fall to the bottom, and then per haps roll over the bench and tumble still farther down the cliff.
 At this instant it occurs to Bradley to take off his trousers, which he does, and swings them down to me. hug close to the rock, let go with my hand, seize the dangling legs, and with his assistance l am enabled to get to the top.

 The offending motor was forgotten, and, while It Semalned in the dim ob- scurity of the coach house, its owner and the professional nurse shared the duties of the sick room, and Mr. and Mrs. Stanhope wandered tearfully hand in hand through the rooms and corridors, calling upon every one to share their grief, but doing nothing whatever for the good of the patient.
 One evening the old doctors anx- ious face told the other watchers that a crisis was approaching. "I must have another opinion," said he to Mir. Stanhope.
 Whom shall we get?" asked the az onized father.
 Young Dr. Raymond, of Craymin- ster," responded the old man. "He has a special oxygen treatment. I've read that he has done wonders, but In this out-of-t -the-way hole we only hear of such things. If only we could get him here by morning we might save the boys life"
 Crayminster was twenty miles away, the telegraph office in town would be closed; It was hopeless to dream of reaching the doctor before morning. MT. Stanhope groaned.
 Marjory heard the doctors last words, save the boys llfe," and her heart gave a throb of terror.
 Its surely not as bad as that" she whispered.
 q fear so." was the reply, "he has got rapidly worse during the last hour or two."
 For moment Marjory seemed stunned, then, giving herself little shake, she whispered a few words to the doctor.
 He looked at her for minute, then at the boy on the bed. Then he gave Marjory little pat on the shoulder. Its the only chance" he said.
 In flash Marjory was gone. She never knew how she got ready, nor how the car was put In motion, she merely has a recollection of tearing fu- riously through the night. needless of speed limits and gradients, through sleeping villages and scattered hamlets, until at last her car snorted and bound ed into the deserted streets of slumber- ing Crayminster.

Street Sweeping by Electricity.

The Corporation of Aberdeen have done a cute thing, says the London En- gineer. It occurred to them that the equipments of their electric tramways were necessarily idle for a long time In the night, and they looked around to see how they could be utilized. As a result of their cogitations two large brushes belonging to the streets de- partment were recently fitted to one of the corporation tramcars, and were ar ranged so that any width of street from z feet to IA feet might be swept. The experiment Is reported to have proved very satisfactory.
