 The Pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the Egyptian pyramids, Is 750 feet square at the base and 451 feet in height. 1t is said to have taken the services of 100000 men ten years to build a road from the quarry to the pyramid.

ODD USE FOR BREAD.

Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put is cited In the National Druggist (St Louis. December). may be seen in the great factories of the Elgin National Watch company, at FL gin, H., where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. Superintendent George E. Hunt CT, of the watch factory. is quoted as saving:
 'hVle iS regarulilS '"O use of bread in this factory. and I am willing to tell all I can concerning it From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking it. has been the cus- tom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough. This is done by steamlng and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere, in course of manufacture, to pieces as small as the parts of a watch. There are many parts of watch. by the way, that are so small as to be bare ly visible to the naked eve. The oil is absorbed by this dough, and the chips stick to it. and there Is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of it's particles attached to the thing wip- ed This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the matchmaking industry The Elgin National Watch Case Company uses something over forty two-pound loaves a day, or about 24.O00 pounds a year."-Ameri- can Food Journal

FOX HUNTING EXPERIENCES.
Marketmen Take Up Chase-Refuge
 on House Tops.

During a recent run of the Essex and Suffolk foxhounds, the good peo- pie of wivenhoe had the novel ex- perience of seeing their town invaded by hounds and huntsmen and of look ing on at the death of reynard in one of their streets.
 It is not long since the New Cut was the scene of an even more start ling incident, when a full grown fox suddenly appeared trotting along the middle of the street when marketing was at its busiest. To a man every coster deserted his barrow and with cries of "Tally-ho!" joined in the chase. Dashing toward Blaekfriars road the fox soon doubled, and dart ing under a fruiterer's barrow sought refuge in wheelwright,s yardd where he was found firmly wedged in the spokes of a cartwheel and carired off in triumph by second hand furni- ture dealer. .s sr1
 A fox was recently chased by. the Belvoir hounds into Aslackby vil- lage and went to ground in the churchyard; another sought refuge on the housetops in Hunavington village and was dislodged by means of lad der, while still another was killed in the dining room of Gayhurst house, the residence of W. w. Garlic, form erly M. P. for North Bucks-West- minister Gazette.

DENTISTRY FOR DOGS.
Diamonds ani Gold and False Teeth
 Inserted i1 Canine Mouths.

Painless dentistry for dogs Is now as highly developed as for humans" said a New York specialist in dog diseases. "rhe operator needs four, five or even six assistants, according to the size and energy of the patient, even after CO., caine has been applied, and often we use gas If the patient proves to be too much for us. But with dogs, as with people, care must be taken that the heart is in good condition before the gas Is administered.
 For filling dogs teeth gold, silver and platinum are used, and frequently if the filling is very large and con- spicuous a gold filling is used with a small diamond inserted in the middle.
 And if milady's pet poodle has a tooth missing, particularly one of the four front teeth, which show when he smiles, a porcelain or gold tooth can easily be substituted Often when one of these teeth is broken a gold cap is put on. s.,
 For the more pusnacious bull pup who has an opportunity for all kinds of warfare a whole row of false teeth is sometimes needed. This can always be 'done as long as there ls a tooth on each end to which the false teeth may be fastened.
 Many dogs have to have their teeth cleaned regularly, especially those who live on a bonbon diet"

BETTER WINGS THAN A BIRD.

The Wright Brothers believe they have discovered the greatest secret of the time,' a practical, manageable nying machine. In an article, The Men Who Learned to Fly" in the February McITdres. George Kibbe turner tells tneir story as it was told to him.
 We know that we have made the i aeroplane a practical machine, but we are not over-sangulne apout Its rev elutionizing the transportation of the future. 1t will scarcely dsplace the railroad or the steamboat; necessarily, it's expenditure of fuel will be too great. In steamship, it is calcuIateu that the heat from the burning of a sheet of letter paper will carry ton a mile; you could scarcely expect such results in an air-ship. The air-shlp i so far as we can see at present. will i have its chief value for warfare, and -or reaching inaccessible places-fer such uses as expeditions in the Klon- l dike, or to Pekin during its siege l few years ago. The value of an air ship moving faster than a railroad l train for reconnoitering or dropping explosives upon an enemy in time Of war Is now obvious to the entire civil ized world. The aeroplane may also be of great value in the near future for service like the carrying of mail.
 There Is no question but that a man can make lighter and more effi- cient wing than 8 birds. A cloth sur face, for instance. can be produced offering less surface friction than feathers. The reason for this fact is that a birds wing is really a com 1 promise. It Is not made for flying only-it must be folded up and gotten out of the way when the bird is on its feet; and efficiency in flying must be sacrificed to permit this. The wings i of aeroplanes will vary in size accord ing to speed. A slow machine will re- quire large wing; but the faster the speed, the less will be the Supporting surface necessary. and wings for high speeds will naturally he very small. Not only will less support be needed, but the size must b, reduced to re- duce the friction of the air.

Two-HEApED SKUNK.

Horace E. Young, living on the Ba- ton farm in Oneco, has been bothered with some animal taking his chickens, ten in number, in the past two weeks, and a week ago he set trap at the henhouse door. thinking it was a mink. The next morning he went to look at the trap and it was gone. The animal had got into the trap and gone with it. Friday he went down in his lot to cut some white birches and he heard in the bushes near him noise and he looked and saw harrow back skunk close to him. He took a white birch pole and killed the skunk and when he picked him up he found that the trap he set in the henhouse was hanging to the right forward leg. The skunk is a full grown one.
 The skunk had two perfect heads and he could eat with both heads One head is black and the other has a stripe on it. He had only three legs, two behind and one forward leg Where the left forward leg ought to be is perfect head. Both heads are the same size. The body back of the two heads is perfect.-Moosup Press.

U. s. AGENT IMPLICATED
Consular Representative Dismissed for
 Aiding Haytian Revolution.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Startling de- velopments in the plot to overthrow the government of President Nord in Hayti have followed the investigations of the secret service agents in New York in connection with the arrest of Jose M. Giordani. on the charge of counterfeiting Haytian money.
 The officers say they have ascer- tained that the prisoner was the agent of a formidable conspiracy, whose op- erations probably would have extend- ed beyond the limits of Hayti into Santo Domingo, and even into Cuba, had the revolution in Hayti been a success and the agents In New York remained unmolested.
 It was found among other things. the secret service men declare, that certain persons in Hayti, mostly Frenchmen and Corsicans, and one of them brother of Giordani, were ac- tive agents of the conspirators, and were designated by numbers in the papers found among Giordani's ef- fleets. The secret service men were able to connect these numbers with the proper persons, and the first re- suit was to fix upon one Charles Miot, the American consular agent at St. Marc, as one of the persons to whom a number had been applied.
 Upon learning this fact last evening the state department immediately eabled to the American minister at Port au Prince, MT. Furniss, to dis miss this agent at once from the em- ploy of the United States. This action was taken because the state depart ment feels that 1t must keep itself ab- solutely free from any appearance of sympathy with rebellious movements in American republics

Justice Restricts Each Side in Thaw
 Trial to Three Experts.

New York, Jan. 23.-When an early adjournment of the Thaw trial was ta- ken to-day to enable the attorneys for the defense to prepare their long hypo- thetical question covering all the evil dence in the case, there seemed no more doubt that next week will brins the second hearing to a close. Justice Bowling has decided to limit each side to three expert witnesses and two of the defense's trio were heard to-day as to the mental and physical examina tions they made of Harry Thaw in the Tombs prison after his arrest for kill ing Stanford White.
 No experts for the state have yet appeared in the court room and MT. Jerome has not indicated how he will combat the testimony ef the alienists in the employ of the defense. All of the doctors who served MT. Jerome at the first hearing are under subpoena by the defense, not as paid experts, but as possible witnesses in sub-rebut- tai of any action the district attorney might take in rebutting the plea of in sanity which has been built.
