INDIA RUBBER.

When we think of the many differ.
ent uses to which India rubber is
now put, we cannot repress a smile
as we read the following allusion to
it in DR.. Priestley's book on Per-
spective, published in 177O, which,
it is said, is the earliest mention Of
the substance: 81 have seen a sub
stance excellently adapted to the pur-
pose of wiping from paper the
marks of a black lead pencil. 1t is
sold by Mr.. Marine, mathematical
instrument maker, opposite the Roy
al Exchange. He sells cubical piece
of about half an inch for three shill-
ings, and he says it will last several
years."

MEMORIAL OF ADAM"

April 1 was marked on old calen-
FAIRS as the "Nfemorial of Adam"
The orientals relate that Adam,
when dying, charged his children
70 bury his body, embalmed with
myrrh, incense and cassia, in the
cave of Al-Kanuz, near Paradise.
When they quilted the place they
were to convey his body to the center
Ct the earth, whence would come
salvation to his posterity. This is
said to have been done by Noah and
Melchizedek, who reburied him on
the sacred hill of Calvary.

MAETERLINCK ON TOLSTOI.

Maurice Maeterlinck is passion
ate admirer of Shakespeare and de-
clares the greatest debt he owes is
to the inspiring genius of the great
pect. Tolstoi's attack on the English
bard has caused the Belgian play
wright to take up cudgels in a bitter
way against the aged philosopher
He is quoted as saying:
''Tolstoi now gives to the world
poor, feeble messages of morbid res
ignation messages such as might
have been conceived and elaborated
by monk of the year 1000 or by a
sick beadle."

nature, except to stab the tired and overworked
and women Of American life with sharp, quick jab
at their sense of pure fun.
The comic germ has kept pace with the rapidity
of progress in American knowledge of worldwide
sense of humor It has banished certain types and
tiquated jokes forever. The fat German the idiotc
Englishman the excitable Frenchman, have all modi-
fled their stage desnes to meet the facts that they
established in the minds of the American people.
The laugh-makers themselves have adapted much to
their personal pleasure, legitimate interpre-
taton of character close to life presentments, and
the authors who grow gray in their service to make
audiences laugh facing the necessity of writing
comedies that are natural, rather than strained
aggerations Of burlesque humor.
