HAD MET THE SENATOR BEFORE.
Diplomat Unaware He Was Introduce
Ing Old Friends.

When Senator Knox Of Pennsyl.
vania was abroad recently he was met
at the station in Paris by member Of
the American embassy. After the SEN
ator and his friend had exchanged
greetings, the diplomat remarked:
by the way, senator, the handsomest
woman in Continental society is in
the station. Wouldn't you like to
meet her." mo less honored than
delighted" returned the senator, gal.
lantly. Thereupon the two men
crossed the Cafe du Nord and a Sec
ond later the diplomat was saying:
Countess, allow me to present one of
your distinguished countrymen."
Turning, the countess after one quick
glance rushed toward the senator and
throwing her arms about his neck, ex-
claimed: "Why, Uncle Phil, you dear
old thing, wherever did you come from,
anyway" 1t was Countess Gontaut
de Biron, who before her marriage
was Martha Leishman, daughter Of
the American ambassador to Turkey.
Years ago, before the Knoxes or
Leishman became known to the world
at large the two families were near
neighbors at their homes in Pitts
burg. AS a short frocked miss of the
schoolgirl genus Martha Leishman
was a great chum of Senator Knox's
only daughter, and to this day the
countess is looked upon as a member
of the senator's family.

silken threads from the spinnerets at
The end Of their bodies. Before very

little creatures hold on and pour out
silk till each has some eight or ten
feet Of line rising almost perpendicu-

they let 20 and rise into the air them
selves, each at the extremity of it's
own thread. In this way they are car
ried upward, perhaps for many hun
dreds of feet, till at last they meet a
current Of air moving slowly along,
and by this they are carried often for
many miles, while they can always de-

Of rolling up their supporting threads.

The Chinese Dragon.

The Chinese dragon is SO familiar
as to be no longer remarked, and yet
his significance is perhaps not fully
understood by all. There are, in fact.
three kinds of dragons-the lung of
the sky, the II OF the sea, and the kiau
of the marshes. The lung Is the IA
vorite kind, however, and may be
known when met by his having "the
head Of camel, the horns of a deer,
the eyes of a rabbit, ears Of COW.
neck of a snake, belly Of a frog, scales
Of carp, claws of a hawk, and palm
of tiger" His special office is to
guard and support the mansions OF
the gods, and he is naturally the
peculiar symbol Of the emperor.
