Y, NJ. c. A. NOTES.

The Morris County Committee Of
the Young Mems Christian ASsocia-
ton have been quietly pushing the
CANVASS for their budget since the
time they were elected at the Conven-
tion in Dover. Notwithstanding the
condition of business they have met
with very encouraging success. The
canvass progressed so satisfactorily
that they met at the office of the Do
yer Trust Company, Dover, April 30,
and extended call to W. B. Chase, of
Washburn, Maine, to become their
first Secretary. Mr.. Chase is gradu-
ate of Colby College, Maine, and of the
Newton Theological Institution. He
has been very successful in his
work among young men and boys as
pastor for five years. He has given a
large share of his time acting as Town
ship Superintendent Of Schools in
Aroostock county, Maine. When in
college he took part in track athletics
and other games. Feeling that he
could be of greater service he, has de-
cided to take up the work Of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
He will begin work July 1st, making
his headquarters at Dover. Mr.. Chase
will spend the summer months in
starting the various fields in Morris
county and will plan to organize the
different points in the early fall. The
County COMMITTEES feel that they have
been very fortunate to secure the SER
vices of Mr.. Chase as he has. had calls
in other directions. ~ ,aa.i $50

The Drama of London's Fog.

There is a whole world of drama
bound up in the chronicles of London'S
fog. This misty and mysterious Wis
liant, far older than Cog or Magog,
which used to visit the watches of the
night when the metropolis barely lifted
itself out of the surrounding marshes,
has a fund of comedy as well as trag-
edy. Countless murders have been
committed under its sheltering cloak,
men and women have been waylaid.
children have been torn from their
mothers and wives from their hus-
bands, but on the other hand there are
a few incidents of a less narrowing
character.-Strand Magazine.

WhistIer's Portrait of Irving.

"Why did Whistler paint Henry
Irving as Phillip" some one once ask
ed me. How dangerous to ask why"
about any one SO freakish as Jimmy
Whistler! But l answered then and
would answer now that it was be-
cause, as Philip, Henry, in his dress
without much color from the common
point of view, his long gray legs and
his Velasquez-like attitudes, looked
like the kind of thing which Whistler
loved to paint. Velasquez had painted
a real Philip of the same race; Whis-
tier would paint the actor who had
created the Philip of the stage.
1 have a note from Whistler written
to Henry at a later date, l think,
which refers to the picture. 1t is
common knowledge that the sitter new
er cared much about the portrait.
Henry had a strange affection for the
wrong pictures of himself. He dis
liked the Bastien-Lepage, the Whistler
and the Sargent. which never even
saw the light. He adored the weak,
pretty-pretty picture by Millais, which,
I must admit all the same, held the
mirror up to one of the characteristics
of Henry's facets extreme refine
ment.
The most remarkable LEI l have
known were, without a doubt, Whis-
tier and Oscar Wilde. This does not
imply that I liked them better or adj
mired them more than the others, but
there was something about both Of
them more instantaneously individual,
%audacious and wonderful than it is
possible to describe.-Ellen Terry in

AWFUL CREATURE WAS
NINETY FEET LONG
Recent Grewsome Experience of a Chicago
Man Is Sample of a Series OF
Such Cases

During L. T. Cooper's recent visit to
Chicago, where his new preparation
and theory created the usual sensation,
many hundreds of people brought
enormous internal parasites to the
young man, which had left the system
after taking his medicine.
Among these people vas Mr.. Emil
Winkler, who brought to Cooper a
tapeworm that proved to be over
ninety feet in length. Mr.. Winkler,
who resides at 1872 East Ohio Street,
Chicago, had this to say of his expe-
rience: "For five years 1 have been
more or less complaining. l have had
severe headaches, and any food that l
would eat would nauseate me. l would
have bad dreams almost every night;
dizzy spells would compel me to quit
work. Black spots would appear be-
fore my eyes when stopping over and

of the time; in fact, 1 had no life in

THE SMALLEST SCREWS.
To the Naked Eye They Look Like
SPecks of Dust.

To the Naked Eye They Look Like
SPeeks of Dust.
The smallest screws in the world are
those made in watch factories. They
are cut from steel wire by Il machine,
but as the chips fall from the knife it
looks as if the operator was simply
cutting up the wire for his own di-
version. One thing is certain-no
screws can be seen, and yet a screw
is made by every third operation.
The fourth jewel wheel screw is
next to invisible, to the naked eye re-
sembling a speck of dust. With Il
glass, however, it can be made out
quite distinctly. 1t has 26O threads to
an inch. These little screws are four
one-thousandth of an inch in diam
eter, and the heads are double in size.
1t has been estimated that an ordinary
thimble would hold 100000 of them.
About 1,000,000 of them are manu-
featured in the course of a month,
but no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100
of them are placed on a very delicate
balance and the number of the whole
quantity calculated from the weight
of these. All the small parts of the
watch are counted in this way, prob
ably 80 out of the 120.
When they have been cut the screws
are hardened and put into frames,
about 100 to the frame, heads up. This
is done very rapidly, but entirely by
the sense of touch instead of by sight,
so that a blind man with a little *
perience could perform the task.
The next step in the process is to
polish the heads in an automatic ma
chine, 10000 at a time. The plate on
which this is done is covered with oil
and a grinding compound, and on this
the machine moves them very rapidly
by a reversing motion until they are
in perfect condition.-Chicago Record

A NEST HARD To FIND.
Remarkable and Artistic Home of the
Hummine Bird.

RUNNING 0lr0.
The home OF the humming bird Is
one of the most remarkable and artistic
creations of all bird architecture. 1t is
d tiny, delicate cup. made of the soft
est plant down, saddled upon some
rather slender branch so deftly that il
seems a part thereof. The saliva OF
the birds is used to compact and secure
the material and likewise to coat the
exterior with the gray green licheDs
so generally found upon trees. This
makes it so assimilate with the sur
r%oundings that it is a very difficult OBJ
ject to discover. And thereby hangs n
tale. A gentleman had told me that
if / would call upon him he would
show me an occupied nest of a hum
ming bird In his orchard. When |
came, he was u of town, but |
thought | would see if l could not find
the nest myself. So made inspection
from tree to tree, and presently the fe-
male hummer began to fly about me
a~nXiously. We played a game of hot
and cold until it became evident that
the nest must be in a certain low apple
tree which had many dead, lichen Gov
cred branches. Some of these came
down nearly to the ground, and for
quite awhile l stood by the tree, run
ming my eyes along each branch in or
der, trying to make out the nest, while
the female kept darling frantically at
my head. 1t must have been nearly a
quarter of an hour before | discovered
that | was standing almost touching
the nest with my hands, having been
looking right over it all the time. 1t
contained two fresh eggs. this being in
the early part of June. The branch
upon which it va built was complete
ly overgrown with lichens, and the
nest, being covered with them. too, was
wonderfully disguised. though there
were no leaves to hide it.-From "Ex-
periences With Hummirg Birds" by

Curved Spokes.

There Is no doubt that IN iron wheel
with curved spokes is much more at
tractive to the eye than the ordinary
variety, but it is not on account of its
appearance that it is constructed i'll
this manner. Wheels that are cast in
variably contract a little in the process
Of cooling, and those made with
straight spokes are always liable to
crack. The curved variety, by allow
ing a certain give and take in the
metal, avoid this danger.
