Before Mr.. Blake had chance to ex-
press an affirmative or negative opin-
ion Of that hazard as to the source Of
the Walpole anecdote Mr.. Barton came
In. Mrs. Blake, being by that time
sure Of herself, tried on him her rec
ipe for winning universal affection.
"Oh, Mr.. Barton" she said, 81 am
very glad to see you. / have hardly
stopped laughing since saw you the
last time"
Mr.. Barton, cadaverous man with
solemn eyes, looked rather foolish.

"Over that funny story you told
about Horace Walpole," said Mrs.
Blake.

Is beyond my powers. Even If it was
funny to start with 1t wouldn't be by
the time got through with it."
Mrs. Blake's spirits were somewhat
dashed by her f1asco in finding an
owner for the Walpole story, but she
bore up courageously, and later when
Mr.. Markham came in she drew him
out Of earshot of Mr.. Barton and dilat-
ed on the pleasure his story Of Horace
Walpole had given her. Mr.. Markham
was not cast in the funeral mold that
gave TO Mr.. Barton his grave aspect,
but be protested himself totally inca.

Horace Walpole or anything else.
Presently Mrs. Blake left the room
to prepare the sandwiches. Mr.. Blake
followed her.
'For the love Of the Lord" he said,

Mrs. Blake stood still, with carving

A CHEMICAL FURY.
FIuorins 10 a Rabid Gas That Nothing

FIuorine Is a Rabid Gas That Nothing
Can Resist.
The fury Of the chemical worfd Is
the element fuorine, although, strange
ly enough, it exists peacefully In CONF
pany with calcium in fuorspar and
also in few other compounds.
Although this element was known
and named a good while ago, it long
resisted the efforts OF chemists to iso-
late it-that Isl prepare It in a pure
state, unmixed chemically with other
substances-for tfse' Instant the COM
pound containing 1t was form apart
the free fuorine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing it. Tt was finally
isolated by the great French chemist
Moissan.
Fluorine is rabid gas that nothing
can resist It combines with all met
ais, explosfveIy with some, or IL they
are alF:eady combined with some other
nonmeta1lic element 1t mercilessfy
tears them away from 1t and takes
them to- itself.
In uniting with sodium, potassium.

Iron filings slightly warm burst into

the noble metals, which at melting
heat proudly resist the destinations Of
oxygen, succunb to this chemical siren
at moderate temperatures.
Glass is devoured at once and wGter1

"ToothY
"Well, call it fang If you want to,
but amt there something III the good
book about sharper than serpent's
toothT Look at this one and you'll
think that the old fellow that wrote
that must have known what he was
talking about"
He opened the paper and showed
what seemed like a miniature horn.
1t was shaped like cow horn, which
has only one curve. IT was yellowish
white, like discolored tooth.
It was about three-Quarters OF an
inch long and q sixteenth OF an inch
in diameter at the base, where it
seemed as If it had been broken of.
The point was as sharp as a needle.
An eighth Of an inch back Of the point,
on the outer curve Of the tooth, was
an opening, the end Of sort Of tube
witch ran the whole length Of the
tooth.
This little channel through the tooth
seemed to be full Of a dried substance,
which the zoo keeper evidently regard
ed with proper suspicionS for he warn
ed the recipient Of the tooth to handle
the same with care. He dRf not think
that one would get true CASE Of snake
bite from one Of these discarded teeth,
but If the skim should be scratched or
pierced by it a bad sore would prob

According to him, the keepers at the

OUR BIG COUNTRY.



on the Stars and Stripes.
There is only one flag that the sun
never sets on-the British. But the
American flag Is close second, for
the sun during half the year never sets
on it either. That Is to say, these two
are the only flags that the sun is con-
tinuously shining over, no waiter what
his position in the heavens-.the one all
the year round and the other during
exactly half the year, from March % to
Sept. %.
OF course it is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points Of continental
United States at all times during q
period Of twenty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
Guiding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Philippines show that between the
spring and fall equinoxes the sun new
er ceases to shine In the eyes Of the
American eagle.
Perhaps nothing could make us real
lie how great q nation our expanded
country Is better than this simple as
Economical fact. Moreover, within
these two dates there are also several
other pairs Of eastern and western ex-
IRENE points where the same condi-
ton obtains, though for much shorter
times.
1t is not generally known. but the
easternmost point in the United States
and it's island possessions Is in the is
land Of Porto Rico-longitude IS de-
grees II minutes west, latitude IS de-
grees 20 minutes north. The western
most point is In Balobe island, In the
hilippines-longitude lie degrees 40
minutes east, latitude 8 degrees o
minutes north. When the sun is at
what the calendar makers call north
declination" Of 0 degrees 10 minutes
that is to say, on March % and on
Sept. PIT rises in Porto Rico at ex-
actly the same time that it sets In the
island Of Balobe. Between these two
dates during the winter months the
sun does set on the United States, and
during the remainder Of the year, the
summer months, it does not.-Scrap

Er. Taft has been tried In more
complex situations requiring a high
order OF statecraft and diplomacy for
ais government than any other man
perhaps except Blaine, who has
come before the people as candidate
Tor the presidency. and in all of them
ne has acquitted himself creditabIy.
Recently IN introducing Mr.. Taft to
an audience a Virginia Judge remark

has not strengthened. The phrase
Wlll be remembered because II fits.
