The young thing surveyed the hams
thoughtfully. "Are you sure she

"Yes'm," answered the butcher with

Traced by Thermometer.

One night many years ago DIR. White
law was walking along with the mes
senger when he was set upon and
knocked down in a lonely part of the
road. His pockets were rifed. and he
was left lying on the road with a
fracture of the fibula. One of the ar
ticles stolen was a clinical thermome-
ter with which he had that evening
taken the temperature of a patient
suffering from enteric fever. He re-
membered the temperature registered.
also that he had not shaken down the
mercury before putting the thermome-
ter back In his pocket. and he COM
municated these facts to the police.
Some time afterward a thermometer
registering the identical temperature
was discovered in pawnshop in
Glasgow. and by this means the po-
lice were enabled to track the doctors
assailants and to arrest them in one
of the Glasgow theaters. -Glasgow

Sunshine and Dust.

There is more dust in the places IL
Illuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady. If you
look along beam Of light as it streams
through a window or chink in the
door you will see innumerable dust
particles dancing about in the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there is just as much dust In the non
Illuminated parts Of the room as in the
more favored spaces, but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You will
think that this is eminently plausible,
but it is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents.
and these currents stir up the dust and
collect it in layers along the line of
light; hence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere. A GU
rious experience in a museum gave
proof of this. 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbeams
than on those which were never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb, and
this led to an inquiry, with the above
result

A Tempest In a Teapot.

What war was caused by a clay tea
pot?
For an answer to this question we
must go. as might be supposed. to the
land of pigtails and porcelain. The
story goes that a Chinese emperor III
olden days gave as mark of special
favor a magnificent clay teapot of rare
design to Lo Hung Chang, his favorite
mandarin. This was laid up as price
less possession among the treasures OF
Lo Hung or borne at his side by two
attendants at all high public festivals
and functions. A rival mandarin saw
these signs Of distinction with the
green eyes of jealousy and hired a
man, to break the obnoxious pot. The
clumsy fellow was caught in the ACT
and betrayed his master. War follow
ed between the two mandarins and
their respective followers, which re
suited in the overthrow and death at
Lo Hung Chang and the reception OF
his rival into royal favor in his place

The Railroads Reply.

Slason Thompson, who is at the head
of the Bureau of Railway News and
Statistics. has issued a pamphlet which
is believed by the shippers who met
at Cincinnati to be a confirmation of
their prediction that the railroads
intend to increase their rates The
shippers during the convention pub
lished figures based on a comparison
of the railroad earnings of 1907 and
1897, showing a fiuctuation from a de-
felt Of s33 in 1897 to surplus of 1921
for 1907, per mile Of road. Mr.. Thomp-
son objects to these figures on the
ground that they are unfair, as 1897
was the "leanest" year the railroads
had ever experienced and 1907 was the
--latest" year in their history. But

dividends in 1897 and 1913 roads opera
