The straits OF Messina are channels
OF immense depth, through which a
wild tide surges, and owing probably
to irregularities at the bottom there
are whirling eddies which have the ef-
feet OF bringing up from the depths
below many marine creatures which
are rarely seen except In the deep sea
travis. It was here that the larval
form Of a. fresh water eel was first
discovered, an incident which threw
a blaze OF Hight on the life history
Of a very mysterious fish. All kinds
of theories have been given forth
with regard to the propagation of the
eel. Some naturalists declared they
breed in fresh water. others that they
visited the estuary for spawning pur.
poses, but thanks to the discovery OF
Messina and later captures Of the eel
in its larval form 1t is now practical
~ certain that after mature cells drop
down our rivers in autumn they HE
them to exceedingly deep water in
the sea and there deposit their eggs.
From the egg comes a little ribbon
shaped creature. the larval form. In
due course this changes into an eel
OF stu smaller size. strange to say.
and these small cells or elvers after
ward ascend our rivers and there ro-
main until they reach maturity when
they in their turn descend to the sea
and history is repeated.-LondOn

shoes In Four Minutes.

How long would It take you to make
a pair OF boots, do you think? You
probably had better not begin It. es-
pecially II you need them soon. Even
a cobbler in the old days, working
with assistant, would spend day and
half making a pair OF boots and
the cost would be about $4 But now.
OF course, shoes are made by machin-
cry, and II Is astonishing to hear how
quickly they are made. II takes just
four minutes 10 make a pair Of
bootsl And the labor cost is about
35 cents. OF course, no one makes
the whole boot nowadays. There arc
hundred different men making diff
ferent parts OF II, and each one does
the same thing over and over again,
and each man learns TO do his partlc-
ular work especially we'll and quick
ly. And you should see the buttons
sewed on! A boy takes the part OF
the shoes where the buttons are to
60 and Ats II into a machine. throws
in a handful of buttons quite care
lessly, turns the machine, and In no
time out comes the piece OF leather
with all the buttons exactly in the
right place. No wo1der some fac.
tories turn out 10000 pairs OF shoes
in day.-chicaGo Daily News.

on Badness.

II has been discovered recently that
there are no bald-headed men In our
insane asylums. Other interesting facts
about bald people are the following:
You never see bald-headed man
wearing his own hair.
No one ever saw a TedIheaded bald
man.
Most bald men keep their hair In
their wife's name.
No bald-headed woman has ever
been known to admit it.
Bald-headed men never appear In
public with their hair marcelled.
II a man lcses his hair no amount
Of advertising will restore it TO him.
No woman was ever drawn to bald
headed man by capillary attraction.
Badness cannot be cured by having
your hair pulled. as you can euro
toothache by having a tooth pulled
The bear has more hair to the
inch than any known animal. and yet
there is nothing in the world that Is
barer than bald head.
There are other interesting facts
about badness no doubt, but none OF
them occur to us at this moment, so
we will content ourselves with say
ing in conclusion that the head OF
n bald man in the front row of tho
modern theatre shines like good
deed in a naughty world.-Harper's

French story Of Note In Bouquet That
Was for Years Unanswered.


One OF the longest delayed proposals
on record Is related IN French story
OF a shy young subaltern who was
ordered away TO the wars. Not dar-
ing TO speak, he sent a rosegay OF
yellow roses to the girl he loved. with
a little note inside begging her, II
she returned his love, TO wear one OF
the flowers In her breast that night
at the ball. She appeared without Il,
and he went away broken hearted.
Years afterward. when he was a
lame old General, ne again met his
old love, now a white haired widow.
One day his old sweetheart gently ask
ed him why he had never married.
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, you ought to know best. II
you had not refused TO answer that
note In the bouquet OF yellow roses
might have been happier man." "The
note In the bouquetY' she repeated,
growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from a drawer a shrivelled bou-
quet of what had been yellow roses,
among whose leafless stalks lurked =
scrap OF paper yellow with age. See!
never had your note" she said, hold
ing the bouquet UP. "If had would
not have answered 1t as you fancied."
"Then answer it now" ssid the gal
liant old soldier. And the long delay
ed proposal was accepted at last

KING EDWARD LIKES cRooUEr.
Does Not Now Play Golf Though h
Enjoys Watching II.

The beautiful new croquet ground at
Cannes will probably see a good deal
OF King Edward should he go there,
says Madame. Golf, curlously enough,
does not SUIT him and he now scarce
ly plays at all, although he is fond
OF watching the game.
There was formerly no croquet
ground at Biarrftz, but since the King
took to going there annually lawn
has been set apart for him adjoining
the golf ground and no one else uses II
during certain hours OF the day.
The King plays remarkably well
and adopts the complicated modern
croquet. so unlike the game which
was looked upon as only suitable for
curates and old maids. He is said
to be especially sldltul at long shots.

nH.E HAIRPINs USES.

It Is extraordinary how few COM
prehend the hairpin's full capacity.
For example, the hairpin may be used:
AS gimlet-To bore holes In soft
wood. pasteboard, or plaster walls.
AS an eggbeater-Two or three
hairpins held together will beat eggs
much better than the various ma
chimes upon the market.
AS a pen-Some important letters
have been scratched by debutantes
in dim conservatories upon the sticks
OF fans.
AS a snore cure-Fastened to the
lips, 1t keeps them together, thus
compelling nasal breathing. which kills
the snore.
The hairpin's uses in manicuring, in
the eradication OF wrinkles, and IN
other beauty operations are perhaps
well known, while no doubt all wom-
en-in these days OF womens clubs
are acquainted with its excellence as
a crokscrew and cigarette holder
