Phosphoreeeent FIowers.

Many persons do not know that.there
are flowers and plants that give out a
phosphorescent light in the dark. The
nasturtium is one Of them The light
OF this flower is more noticeable after
day Of strong sunlight. The marsh
lily and the fiaxinella also have the
light. In the case of the flaxinella the
phenomenon is due to a volatile oil
that the plant secretes. 1t oozes out
In warm weather, spreads itself in a
thin layer over the flowers and forms
a vapor that becomes luminous In the
dark. 1t is said that there is a kind
Of fungus in the coal mines near ORES

FOR THE CHILDREN
Game q Speculation.

II
The leader Of this game provides two
packs Of cards, one Of which is dealt
one by one around the company tin all
the pack Is dealt. The other Dack be
keeps In bis hand, drawing one card
from It at random, which he conceaIs
In his pocket.
The players being each further pro
vtded with saucer containing ATTY
beans, the leader rings a small ben
ana calls out, "SpeculateF' Then for a
time there Is confusion, the PLAYERS
circulating around the room. Offering
beans In exchange for certain cards
which the neighbors display. Each
wishes to hold the duplicate Of the
card concealed by the leader, though
no one knows which It is.
At a second ringing OF the bell the
players are again seated, while The
leader. turning up one card from the
pack in his hand, calls out its name.
Whoever holds the duplicate must go
forward and lay 1t upon table pro-
vided for the purpose. After a half
dozen or more of the cards have been
thus collected the signal to speculate"
Is again given.
OF course the interest increases as
the number Of cards held by the play
ers diminishes, and sometimes play
er will give his last bean for a card
which may be called in at the next
ringing of the bell.
After repeated speculations and call
ings In one card alone remains-the
duplicate of that concealed in the
pocket Of the leader The fortunate
holder of this wins a prize, as also
does the possessor Of the greatest num-
Der of beans.

The players form ring, hand In

players dance around him till he raps
on the floor, when they all stand per.
fectly still and silent. Then he holds
out the cane, and the one toward
whom 1t points must grasp the end
The blind man then asks any three
questions he pleases, all Of which must
be answered in a changed voice. The
blind man must guess who is talking.
II be is right the two change places,
but II he is wrong the players dance
about him'again and the game goes on.

In reply to the allegation that an
interest in athletics is prejudicial to
scholarship, may be cited the case of
the University of Maine football team,
which continued faithfully to attend
all college exercises, while the other
students absented themselves on ac-
count of a disagreement with the fac
ulty over the matter of hazing. To
be sure, the football men knew they
could not play out their schedule If
they got themselves suspended, but
whatever their motive, they got some
instruction which the rest of the col
lege missed.

WHALE HURLs MAN INTO SEA

MATE OF Codhsh Schooner Has Thrill
ling Experience While Fishing.
Struck by the tail of gigantic
wnale which smashed his dory to kim
ding and threw him almost 100 feet
away into the icy sea. Chief Mate Olaf
Wick OF the Goldfish schooner Vega
brings a thrilling story of his escape
from death in the far north. a Seattle
dispatch to the New York Herald saws
His experience, strange as it sounds,
is confirmed by many persons who
saw the body of the officer hurled
through the air and who later picked
him up as he lay bruised and uncon-
sclous on the few remaining boards of
his shattered dory.
The Vega, in command of Can't.
Peter Nelson, was lying at anchor in
Behr1ng sea and the chief mate was
alone In his dory one calm morning
In August, fishing apart from the rest
OF the crew. A monster whale had
been observed by the men earlier in
the day swimming sportively in the
vicinity, blowing a mistlike stream
high into the air, or again coming to
the surface and rounding his shining
back with knifelike dorsal fin out
Of the water as he played and dove
into the CLASSY sea. Intent on his
fishing, the mate had little warning
OF the weird experience he was to un-
dergo
Suddenly I felt something under
the boat" he said in relating the tale
II thought l had struck a rock and
instantly threw the windlass over
board so she would not sink the boat.
Hardly was it over the side when
was lifted high in the air as the whale
dove and struck the boat with his TAIL
l went up as though a mine had ex-
ploded beneath my feet. Around me
were flying bits of wood and tackle
from the boat.
Il cannot tell how far l was thrown,
but 1t must have been about ninety
feet from the point where the dory
was stationed l lost consciousness for
time, l think, for l remember the
shock of striking the cold water,
which seemed to clear my head and
caused me to strike out with arms
and legs to keep ahoat."
The mate swan back to the dory
which still held a few bottom boards,
and here he was picked up by the
second mate. None of Wick's bones
were broken by the mishap, but his
was SO lame he could hardly move for
couple of days.

JEWELS OF GREAT PRICE.
Necklace Worth Half Million
Owned by Duchess of Hamilton.

Necklace Worth Half a Million
Owned by Duchess of Hamilton.
Mary, duchess of Hamilton, is now
"a years old, but still a beautiful and
robust matron, and she still shines
brightly among the galaxy Of Anglo
Saxon bellies at the court of St. James.
AS everybody knows, she is the
mother of Lady Graham, the richest
woman in the united kingdom, but it
is not generally known that the Ouch
eSs has in her own right almost as
large fortune as was left to her
daughter, so she can we'll afford to
assuage her thirst for fine jewels.
Henri Chevalier says in the Cincinnati
Enquirer. She is the possessor of and
wears on state occasions a pearl neck
lace worth 100000. 1t is made up of
black pearls, not of gray, but of green
luster, the latter being by far the most
valuable.
Wonderful jewels of this sort are in
the possession of royalty and the no.
bility. Some of the pearls on the
uuCuSSo VI Nhdl lUOAOuSA IoihCo-
of rope are worth $4,000 apiece. Lady
Denman has a rope of 400 pearls, each
of which is said to have cost $3.50.
Some few years ago necklace COM
posed of 412 pearls, in eight rows, was
sold for $4,000. The late Lady Hen
ry Lennox's pearl necklace fetched, l
believe, over 100000, and the late
Empress Frederick of Germany pos
sessed a one-row necklace of thirty
two pearls worth at least 100000
This is really made up of three neck
laces, each of historic interest. One
belonging to the ex-queen of Naples,
sister of the late empress of Austria;
the second was once the property of a
Spanish grandee, and the third was
formerly owned by the ex-Empress Eu-
gene.
Pearls are possessed in plenty by
some of the Indian princes. The Ma
harajah Gaekwar of Baroda owns a
necklace of immense pearls and emer-
aids, splendidly set, and of priceless
value

ABBEY OF SOLESMES.

Treasures of Centuries with Ancien,
House to Be Sold.
One of the most famous of the relig-
ious houses in France is about to be
sold. 1t is the Benedictine Abbey of
Solesmes, and what makes the sale
regrettable is that the treasures col
lected with such care during so many
ages are to be dispersed in the literal
sense, for they are to be sold sepa-
rately. The abbey is magnificent
feudal dwelling full of artistic Won
ders. It is of the pure style of the
thirteenth century, situated about a
mile and a quarter from the little
town of Sarthe. There are sixty hec-
tares of land belonging to the pr1ory.
hectare being two acres one rood
thirty-four perches, upon which the
monks have bestowed all their energy.
Below flows the listless Sarthe, and In
the distance can be seen the little
tower of Sable parish church, pointing
to the skies. Within the precincts the
first objects to note is the chapel, dat
ing from and for the most part OF the
thirteenth century, completed in the
sixteenth and seventeenth. The ma
jestic arches are above, in somber
inches are priceless sculptures, and
the windows, Paris contemporary
tells us, says the London Globe, must
be seen to form an idea of their beau
ty. The statuary is said to form some
of the finest specimens of the renais-
sance period. The oldest and finest
piece is mise au Tombeau," attr1b-
uted to Fiesole. Another piece Is La
Sculpture de la VERGE" about the end
of the sixteenth century, a purely
French conception. Among the other
artistic triumphs showered upon the
visitor are lie Trepassement de Notre
Dame" lie Triomphe de Marie" and
Jesus parmi les Docteurs."

ROOSEVELT, THE NIMRoD
"1'm Poor Shot," He Said, but Here

"I'm Poor Shot," He Said, but Here
Is a Denial.
The caravan headed for Sir Alfred
Pease's farm on the Athi River, says
Warrington Dawson, correspondent
with the Roosevelt party in Hamp-
tons. This farm contains more game,
and greater variety, than any other
piece of earth owned by one man in
the world. Roosevelt and his party
were to be the guests of Sir Alfred
Is long as they cared to stay.
All over the country could be seen
the various spoons of the different
game. Kermit got the first shot.
About 200 yards ahead of him a fine
buck darted into view and, like
flash, Kermit fired and the handsome
beast fell dead. Col. Roosevelt smiled,
examined the bolt of his Springfield
rifle, and showed the safety over in
a way that indicated his intentions
toward the next inhabitant of the jun
gle that showed up. He had not long
to wait to try his luck. A small herd
of wildebeeste, with shaggy names
and vicious horns, galloped across the
track. Col. Roosevelt spurred his
horse into favorable position out
of range of the caravan. AS of one
accord every man, white and black,
stood still and watched Roosevelt's
Springfield went to his shoulder, and
crack! crack! and down went two of
the bounding wildebeeste.
The night before the party started
on safari, when all were around the
camp fire, the ex president had de-
clared that he was very poor shot.
When Cunninghame saw the two
wildebeestes drop in their tracks he
cried with a smile on his bewhisker-
ed face: Pretty bad shooting, that,
eh, colonel?l You pulled our legs
beautifully last night" The colonel
smiled, too, and without comment
rode over to watch the shikarees skin
the game.
A little later in the day beautiful
Thompson's gazelle stood out on the
open, presenting a fine target, al
though at very long range. Col.
Roosevelt got off his horse and took
a kneeling shot, with the result that
the gazelle is now being stuffed for
the Smithsonian collection.
