The colonel had demonstrated vigor-
ously with Uncle Eph about the old
darky's persistent excursions into the
state of inebriation. Uncle Eph,
though he promised faithfully to re-
frain from frequent dips into the flow

nels expectations. On numerous oc-
casions the colonel saw Eph under the
influence of liquor, but the darky when
taken to task stoutly denied the ac-
cusation, affirming emphatically that
he did not drink One evening the

enormous vogue The lady was giving
the professor lunch, and he tried to
fob her off by praising Stilton cheese

Of the cheese. hoping thus to draw
him. She succeeded to the extent OF

this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the code Napoleon
he frequently astonished the council
Of state by the skill with which he IL
Illustrated any point In discussion by
quoting whole passages from memory
Of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how a man whose life had
been passed in camp came to know so
much about the old Roman laws. Fl

acquired his knowledge.

tanned no furniture except an old chair

ponderous volume, which proved to be

bubbles" and Science.

Until Lord Rayleigh supplied the
missing explanation scientific men had
never been able to explain how 1t is
only with a very few liquids that soap
bubbles can be blown. The reason is
that some cannot lather even If shaken
up vigorously, while others lather with
complete ease. The natural question
therefore arose, "Why is 1t that some
liquids lather and others will not, and
how is it that sphere of liquid film
of almost inflnitesimal thickness can
exist In a still moist atmosphere for
hours and even days" This was all
exclusively explained for the first
time by Lord Rayleigh.
The explanation Is partly question
of physics and chemistry, and it may
be succinctly described, according to
Sir Oliver Lodge, as follows: "A sur
face which possesses the minutest
trace Of scum has less tension than
clear or lesser scummed surface, and
such scum, no matter how thin 1t
may be, has the tendency to slide down
If It's liquid support or foundation dis
plays any inclination to the horizon.
Furthermore, lathering liquid has a
complex and resistible constitution
sufficient to yield by partial dissocia-
ton, owing to the tension of the sur
face, quasi solid scum, while the con-
slant tendency of the viscous liquid to
slip between two layers of scum is
very slow process"

From the dried backbone OF sturgeon,
which has the appearance of macaroni,
an excellent Russian soup, called
vesiga, is made. 1t is excessively nu-
tritive and invigorating, almost as
much so, indeed, as the famous beche
de mar mot mer). otherwise the ira
pang, or edible sea slug. 1t is collected
in large quantities throughout the In
dian archipelago, especially to the east
ward, for the China market. There
are many varieties. such as the large
scarlet trapang from Macassar, the Ku-
roke trapang from Borneo, the great
black trapang from Leuconia and many
more. Properly prepared. this is abb
solutely the most inspiring soup there
is and is as superior to turtle as the lat
ter is to water Cruel. 1t costs about
$3.50 per pound.

A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble whom the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region
of the heart are not necessarily heart
trouble, We suggest that you start with
the stomach and whenever you feel a
depression after eating or whenever your
food seems to nauseate take Kodol. II
will not be very long until all these
"heart pains" will disappear. Take
Kodol now and until you know you are
right again. There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you will ind
the truth of this statement verified after
you have used Kodol for few weeks.

What Was Left.

MOSTLY of Chicago" is the way a
man described his residence. His char
acterization seems reasonable. When
he was six years old, he cut off one of
eight, he shot off two joints of one of
his fingers. He ran away from home
when he was fourteen, and the frost of
a winter night took off three more toes
and the tip Of his nose At twenty-five
he lost his entire right foot. \ drunken
half breed bit off an ear in the Klon-
dixie, a Dakota corn shelter took his
left forearm, and since then he has lost
three fingers, joint from another fin
ger and one eye.-Youth's Companion.
