THEIR PLACE OF MEETING
inference Plainly Set Forth Was Not by Any Means What the Lady
 Dean Meant.

The lady dean of well-known girls college, being very much an noyed that the girls after chapel on Sunday morning waited around the en- trance of the assembly room and stood in groups on the stairs instead of dispensing at once, resolved to in. st1tute a reform. So at the regular chapel service one morning she arose with much dignity and made the fol lowing remarks:
 T have noticed a growing tendency among the young women to finger about the chapel Sunday mornings blocking the halls and stairs. Here after the following order will be pre- served in leaving chapel: First the president will pass away. Then I will pass away. Then the faculty members will pass away, and finally the stu dent body by classes will pass away and we will all meet below"
 It is needless to say why she never finished her sentence.

GOAL IN MAhlaAS VINEYARD
Vast Field Discovered Which May Produce Hard Coal Enough to
 Supply New England.

Baston, Mass.-The Bay states only coal mine, the location of which has been known to but a few, while the fact of it's being operated has been carefully guarded secret, may soon produce hard coal in sufficient quan. tity to supply the wants of all New England.
 A vast field Of coal is to be found on the shores of Marthas Vineyard, declare the present owners of the mine, and the near future will see a new mammoth industry called to life in Massachusetts, they predict.
 The coal mine, or rather the clay pits where the coal has been discov- cred, is located at Makoniky, Marthas Vineyard, and the owners are George Allen Matthews and his son Ray. It lies about nine miles from the town of Oak Bluffs on a precipitous stretch of the island shore, and can be reached only by the most circuitous route over the roads knee deep with fine sand, and only a few of the resi- dents of the island are aware of it's existence
 Several years ago, when MT. Mat thews, with his son, was engaged in the real estate business at Makoniky and Oak Bluffs, he purchased 200 acre shore lot for the purpose of ex- plotting the rumors that the land con tained supply of merchantable clay.
 
 Much to the owners astonishment, 8 few months after work had begun the workmen began to strike frequent strata of what appeared to be a sort of reddish-brown charcoal. Geologists were called in, and it was discovered that there were promising evidences of coal lying near the clay pit and in the hills near the shore the entire length of the property From that moment dates the history of the new coal discovery
 Recently 75 tons of this fuel, called Ignite, have been taken from the ground at Makoniky and used in fir. ing the brick kilns No borings have been made as yet to find the coal formations, which, it is asserted by geologists, lie in all probability all along the Matthews property.
 It is declared that there may be hundreds of thousands of tons of an thracite coal waiting to be mined
 The upper strata of Ignite now found in the clay pit represent the younger formation of coal, and as such are still in condition of hard ering, which renders Ignite only ol practical service as fuel when mixed with bituminous coal But as a fuel in making gas it has been pronounced by experts to be even more service able and cheaper than soft coal, since It contains greater quantity Of gas eous products.
 Lignite gives off 5000 keat units a pound and burns 30 per cent. ash which, in comparison with the ordi nary soft coal, is below the practical standard

HOSPITAL AT zoo

in friendly way and probably start ed an epidemic. Curiously enough. the baby ibex has also an affection of the coat.
 Scarcely single i'll that mankind is subject to but has it's parallel among the beasts of the zoo. Many diseases, indeed, have been carried to them by human infection-notably chest troubles and tuberculosis, which have been the scourge of the monkey house. The higher the beast in the scale of creation the more liable it is to contract disease from it's human visitors.
 That is the main reason why the most manlike brutes-the apes-are wisely shut off from their admirers by great sheets of plate glass Other wise single influenza-stricken sneeze from a visitor might place every chimpanZee and orang-outang on the sick list
 A weak heart killed "Lobo," the great gray American timber wolf. It was diagnosed early last year from his distress after slight exertion. An iron tonic mixed with his meat in pill form pulled him round wonderfully and he never refused his medicine He died quietly during the night and his widow "Blanco," swiftly told the news with her wailihg lament.
 Visitors were recently astonished to see female tapir-that weird compromise between a nip and an ephant-wearing a heavy neckcloth. It was in reality a mild mustard pIas- ter, which was tied round her neck to alleviate homely complaint humps. All the symptoms were there-the glandular swelling, pain on mastication (she refused all food). and feverishness. To all intents and purposes it was human humps and yielded to the same treatment, after the usual period-about a fortnight or three weeks.
 In the case of powerful, savage brutes much which would do them good has to be left undone. When Eve, the full-grown chimpanzee, suf- fered from a skin trouble on her wrists and forearms she could not be properly handled for curative pur- poses, but whenever she strolled up to be fed the keeper patiently and quietly sprinkled the worst places with powder.

Observations Show That Gain in Weight Follows the Trips Afoot
 Taken By Children.

Berlin-The union of the Berlin School of Physicians has been investi- gating the effect of open-air walking on the health of school children. Dr. Raider has presented report on the subject, He examined the school chil- dren before and after a walking tour to see whether the favorable results of such a trip were only subjective or whether objective benefit resulted. Fifty-six pupils were sent on walking trips in three groups, each under the leadership of teacher. On an aver age the children walked from ten to twenty miles day.
 They were given coffee, milk, and white bread for breakfast. During the day they got bread and butter. Tn the evening they were given warm dinner. One series of well-nourished, strong children did not change weight during the six days tour. A small

About two years ago my eyes got in such condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly in famed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were con siderably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well.

American klondiker Presents to Can ada Many Specimens Found in
 Gizzards of Ptarmiqans.

Ottawa, Ont.-Wilson Foster, Klon- dike prospector, has presented the Dominion museum with 10000 speci- mems of minerals secured in the Klon- dike region, gold, topaz, opals, etc. Many of the specimens were taken from the gizzards of ptarmigans and grouse found in the rich mineral bear ing districts of the Yukon. They rep resent almost every kind of precious stone except diamonds.
 While prospecting here Foster mo- ticed the birds always picking away at stones and trapping many he was astonished at the variety and value of the stones found in their gizzards. One curiosity he is giving to the museum is a mastadon's tooth, weigh ing IA pounds.

First Aeroplane Idea.

The earliest effort to construct a machine which, according to modern ideas, is entitled to be called an aero- plane, was undoubtedly that of Will liam Henson, in 1S42. Henson, who was practicing engineer, with off, ces in New City Chambers, Bishops. gate, London, devised machine which resembled very closely the tyne which has since been termed the monoplane- is, having its SUD- porting planes practically forming a sinle deck, as distinguished from the box form of the biplane and multi. plane devices of later inventors.-Cas- sier's Magazine

Squirrels Severely Bitten by Large Rat First Patients.
Fox, Kangaroo and lbex also Receiv ing Treatment-ScarceIy an III That Afflicts Mankind Not
 Found in Collection.

London.-A large and savage raj sure where the zoo's gray squirrels live. Before it could be found and destroyed five of the graceful little fellows had been badly bitten and were discovered with angry wounds showing through their pretty, bedrag gled coats.
 These squirrels were the first pa tients at the zoo's new hospital, a beautifully equipped, red brick build ing just behind the reptile house which has just started its career of usefulness. Just like the London oI any other modern hospital, the floors are constructed of easily cleaned ce ment with curved corners. Ten airy warmed cages are situated on the ground floor, while the upper part oi the hospital is composed of two we'll lit, cheerful wards with glass roofs where the smaller birds and animals will be treated
 Thither the little injured squirrels were conveyed. their hurts were
  now almost fully recovered.
 The need for such an institution in the gardens is undoubted. There is no more pathetic sight in the world than that of a savage animal at tackled by mortal disease The wild powerful creature, it's coat streaked with sweat and it's muscles qu:vering with anguish. will not submit to the well-meant ministrations of it's keep CTS or of the medical expert. and re fuses the food in which, perhaps healing or soothing drugs are hidden It only demands to be left alone to die. When free. the merciless mercy of the jungle or desert would insure speedy relief from it's sufferings at the fangs or claws of it's fellows.
 In the geological gardens. hitherto it has seldom been possible to do anything in such cases but to leave the animal in it's den. watched by cu- rious visitors. and allow nature to take it's course until an experts cer- tain diagnosis of fatal termination permits the use of the final kindness of strychnine or bullet.
 The hopital's case book so far in- cludes:
 Five gray squirrels.
 One fox
 Two kangaroos.
 One infant ibex.
 The fox went there afflicted with a painful canker of the ear. The saw age little creature was secured by means of a moose on the end of a pole, which was gradually pulled "taut" He betrayed no disposition to snap, so a muzzle was dispensed with and the ear was dressed as swiftly as possible.
 A disfguring skin disease has at- tackled one of the kangaroos and his mate has been placed with him until it is certain she has not also con tracted the same trouble. Had the pair been left in the cages they would have "nosed" their healthy neighbors

number either lost weight or gained from one to three pounds. The re- suits of the tour were strongly mani fested some time after it was over. During the following three months 50 of the 56 children gained from three to twenty-two pounds in weight. From this 1t would appear, says Dr. Raider, that the violent muscular exercise stimulated the organism to increased metabolism and more rapid growth.
 Of especial interest, the investiga- tion says, are the facts developed by the comparison of nine girls who made the tour with twelve from the same school who had not been on the trip, but who had taken vacations at the same time. The girls who had walked gained six and seven-tenths pounds during the next three months

BATTLES WITH BIG SALMON
English Fisherman Has Long Strue gle with Big Fish-Frends Go
 to His Rescue.

London.-A prominent member ot the Liverpool Fly Fishing club went angling in the River Wyre at Gar stang the other day He did not re. turn to dinner in the evening and his friends thought of all the terrible things that might have befallen him and trembled. His friends formed a search party, and, armed with Ian terms, set out along the riverside at midnight. At length they came upon him-holding on like grim death to a magnificent salmon. He had hooked the fish early in the evening, but his rod being light one, he had been un. able to land it. His friends had found him and they helped him to hoist in the refractory salmon. "I never an ticipated such a delightful experi- ence," he told his would-be rescuers as he bore off his prize in triumph

Ancients Wore Sheath Gowns.

It need not be supposed that even feminine fashions can evolve some thing new under the sun. A learned Psychologist discloses that the sheath gown was popular among the ladies ot the Nile 15 centuries before the Chris tian era. One gown was made of fine linen, adorned with elaborate designs The professor thinks that the slit in the side was intended to display the Wearer's precious anklets. These an cient ladies also dressed their hair elaborately with puffs and padding They painted their faces and lips, a: shown by rouge and pomade jars. All of this is reassuring to man who may have thought that some of the modern developments of the dressmaker were without precedent in their eccen tricity. Once more is demonstrated the fit coupling of the words 'eter nal'' and feminine"
