THE WAKING OF RAMEsEs.
Moral Story Of the Experiences Of
Bronx Zoo Toad.

From the New York Times.
They have found the jewel in the head
Of the aged Rameses II, the toad that
came from out near Butte, Mon. last De-
cember as a present to the Bronx Zoo.
The jewel is this discovery: No matter
how aged the subject, no matter what his
past instructive experiences no matter If
he be removed from Broadway a mile or
two, the atmospheric effect of Manhattan
will tell sooner or later upon him.
Rameses II, it will be remembered.
was round by some gold miners hundreds
Of feet below the surface of the earth In
the center of an otherwise solid rock.
He was blind and dumb then. His breath
ing was so slight as to be next to i'm
perceptible. Competent judges estimated
that he was far beyond forty when Noah
led the other animals into the ark that
vet morning years ago.
Rameses III was made much of when he
arrived. A little food was put in his
mouth. His heart began to beat faster.
He was waking up. By Christmas he
was able to take a drink. and New Year
night he said something that might have
been "Hurrah!' The New York atmOs-
phere was working.
BY February he was able to wink an
eye. By April he ogled the pretty girls
who passed his corner in the reptile house.
BY May he drank like nsh and was sat
isfied only with six-course dinners.
And yesterday morning Curator Dit
mars found Rameses leaning against a
broom in one corner Of the reptile house
with an 'I'll-never-dO- it-again" express
sion upon his sad countenance. One eye
was in poor shape and his body bore con-
tusions. He had evidently been out all
night. A broken plank In the side OF his
house explained how he got out.
Without thinking second time Curator
Ditmars sent a. keeper after brandy and
some cracked ice. Rameses II shook his
head sadly as If to say: "Oh. but this
is fierce" And Mr.. Ditmars found him
self saying:
There. there now, you'll feel better
after a good bath and some sleep Cheer
up, Ramey You're not the first. Ali.
here We are. take good swig of this. OF
course, it tastes vile. but it'll do you
good. Feel better already. don't you? OF
course
With Curator Ditmars and a keeper as
sisting him. Rameses got home. He
slipped hurriedly into the cocoanut shell
that furnishes dark seclusion when he
wants it. only poking his head out long
enough to say:
THANK you. both. old chaps. You've
been awfully good to me. I'll do as much
for you both some day."

Wedding Cake Older Than the Bride
From the Ithaca Journal.


At the wedding Of Miss Jennie Tichenor
and Clarence Talby the wedding cake
which will be given by the bride to her
friends will be eight years older than the
bride herself.
Miss Tichenor will be married at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. George Pollay, at
the corner Of Tioga and Buffalo streets.
Mrs. Pollay was married twenty-eight
years ago. and at that time she had baked
wedding cake which she resolved to
save for the next one in the family who
married. Years have passed and Miss
Tichenor is the first one of the present
generation to wed.
The other day a hunt was instituted for
the wedding cake, for Mrs. Pollay had
forgotten where she had placed 1t. After
several hours of searching it was finally
found and given to the bride.

rom the London Evening Standard.

The announcement that the Hayward's
Heath Horticultural Society was prepared
to pay a penny for every queen wasp

senders have requested that the money
they consider due to them should be for
warded by return of post. The secretary
however, wishes it to be understood by
senders that only persons living within the
radius Of the show will be paid for their
WaSpS.

The Telephone.


Professor Alexander Graham Bell Is
y,ported to have explained in lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
my father invented a symbol by
which deaf muteS could converse, and
finally l invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be tele
phone. 1t occurred to me to make
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. wc,t to an aurist. and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear l expert
mented, and upon applying the appara-
tus l found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations.
81 arrived at the conclusion that II
could make iron vibrate on dead
mans ear l could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood
I thought if placed delicate piece OF
steel over an electric magnet / coul1
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed.
"The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. II
arose from my knowledge. not Of cleo
tricity. but as teacher of the deaf.
Had been an electrician ] would not
have attempted it,
