SUGGESTED BY CHILDREN.
Origin of the Arsand Lamp and ths
Telescope,

$tSSS~RSs
Some of our most useful mechanical
appliances owe their existence to the
ingenuity of children in fashioning
their playthings. Argand, who in
vented a lamp with wick fitted into
a hollow cylinder, was one day busy
in his workroom. Sitting before the
burning lamp, his little brother was
amusing himself by placing a bottom
less oil flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed it upon the fame
of the lamp, which instantly shot up
the long circular neck of the flask
with increased brilliancy. Argand did
not allow such suggestive occur
renee to escape him. The idea of the
lamp chimney almost Immediately
came into his head, and in a short
time his invention was perfected.
The telescope owes its origin to a
similar occurrence. The children of

Of their eyes. They were naturally
puzzled and called their father to see
the strange sight When the spec
tacle maker looked through the glasses
he was no less surprised than the
children had been. He went indoors
and thought the matter over, and then
the idea occurred to him that he might
construct curious new toy which
would give people good deal of
amusement. Not long after the tele-
scope was an accomplished fact

A funny incident occurred aboard
one of our big battleships. While at
anchor off some large city a delega-
ton Of ladies representing the W. G.
T. U. came aboard and were much In
Il terested in all they saw. One of the
\ visitors, spying the chit box for the
wine mess, which was fastened up In
the ward room, inquired what it was.
A young officer, being facetiously In
clined and not for one moment suppos-
ing that his joke would be taken seri-
ously, told her it was box for foreign
missions and that the officers were al
ways glad to have all those who came
aboard contribute. Nothing more was
thought of the matter till the end of
the month, when the box was opened
and, to the astonishment of ALL was
found to contain $3.50 The dilemma
was overcome by sending a check for
the amount, together with a letter Of
explanation, to the secretary of the
navy requesting that he have it for
warded through the proper channel to
the cause. for which it was contrib
uted-Army and Navy Life.

How She -Wheedles and Buiiies the
Poor Man Creature.
AS woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility Of strutting around in
finery and the necessity of being prac-
tically useful his garb has become more
and more sober and workaday in ap-
pearance. Ethnologists tell us that
the decorations Of primitive man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes
but woman presently began to make
1t clear that she was not hunting for
"a fine. snowy article but something
solid and plain and useful, warranted
to stand wear and tear AS for the or
namental role, she was going to repre-
sent the family herself in that line.
In fact, when one reflects how man
has been stripped of gauds and vince
died out of his flipperies one by one.
one cannot help feeling tender pity
for this victim Of feminine self aggran-
dizement. Poor, timid trembler! A
vague. general fear of the female sex
haunts him. Afraid of being married
against his will, he is circumvented by
some subtle female creature who makes
him think that it is his will to marry
her. An observer remarks that man
very often in running away from the
right woman runs straight into the
arms of the wrong woman. And the

First Giraffe In Europe.

DR.. Johnson, as Is well known, re
fused for many months to believe in
the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians
formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence of the giraffe, new spec
linen of which has just been added to
the Jardin des Plantes. The earliest
specimen of these gentle creatures was
seen in Paris In the reign Of Louis
XVI. We learn from a French con-
temporary that the giraffe was first
heard of in 1857, when 1t was de-
scribed by a Frenchman named Le-
valiant, who had journeyed in the
lands Of the Hottentots and Kaffirs
When the explorer referred to the an
finals with the long necks he was look
ed upon as a Munchausen and told
that he was such In not the politest
language. 1t was only when some liv-
ing specimens arrived in the French
capital that Levaillant's reputation for
veracity was re-esta blished, and then
the animals for long time formed the
sensation of Paris, not only among the
multitude, but In all scientific circles

Selling "carlyIe."

spoke for the rest asked me If / did

on the picture. 900 guineas-and |
said, Yes, perhaps, If you will have

And he said that it seemed to the
council excessive. ''Why, the figure
was not even life size"
And agreed.
But, you know" said, 'few men
are life size"
And that was all. 1t was an official
occasion, and l respected it. Then
they asked me to think over the mat
ter until the next day, and they would
come again And they came. And they
said, Have you thought Of the thou
sand guineas and what we said about
1t, Mr.. Whistler
And 1 said, "Why, gentlemen, why
well, you know, how could l think Of
anything but the pleasure Of seeing
you againT
And naturally, being gentlemen, they
understood, and they gave me check
for the thousand guineas.
