King LeopoId's Answer.

Few monarchs have possessed a
more caustic tongue than the late
King Leopold of Belgium when he
chose TO exercise it. Once a dispute
was raging in the Belgian army as
to whether the words of command
should be given in Flemish or
French. Neither side would give
in, and at length it was agreed that
King Leopold should decide the
matter. The aged monarch asked
for a week in which to consider the
question. at the end of that period
he summoned the leading generals
and announced that he had decided
that in future all orders should be
given in Esperanto. Needless to
say the disputants managed to come
to some amicable arrangement.

Sail BEARING Fishes.

Various marine animals possess
organs which. raised above the sur
face, act as sails, by means of which
they are propelled along the water.
Among these may be mentioned the
Portuguese man-of-war and the pa
per nautilus. Certain fishes, it ap-
pears, use the same method of pro-
erosion, the dorsal fin acting as a
sail. Brousonnet called such fishes
Poissons voiliers. And the scientific
name histiophorus (sail bearer, Civ
en- to a genus of fish, implies sim
liar belief. In a contribution to the
geological Jahrbuch Louis Dollo
claims that other genera are also
sail bearers. He suggests also that
among the cetaceans the grampus
and bottle nosed whale NAV make
a similar use of the dorsal fin.

The oriain of Numbers.

The use of visible signs to denote
numbers can be traced to remote
times, but our present decimal sys-
TEN in its complete form with the
zero is Of Indian or Hindoo origin.
From the Hindoos it passed to the
Arabians about $50 a. D. In Eu-
rope the complete system was de-
vised from the Arabs in the twelfth
century. The use of numerals in
India can be traced back to the
Mana Chat inscriptions, supposed
to date from the early part of the
third century B. c. The earliest
known example of date written on
the modern system is of 73S A. D.

There were FIVE of US at the table.
A few days afterward on my re-

there no way of describing smells?
You have not described or classi-
fed a smell when you have said that
it is horrid. and you are Just as wide
of the mark when You have said an
other smell is lovely. Consider the
parallel of the classification of col
ors. When you describe a sunset
YOU need not merely say that it is
beautiful. You can go further and
say that it is red or yellow or pur-

do nothing with it.

los Instructive Half Hour With Two
American Marines.

HOS inStrtsetIve Half Hour With Two
American Marines
The Marquis Ito was always
eager to acquire information about
western civilization. During his
four terms as prime minister of
Japan his country residence at oiso,
near Tokyo, was at all times open
to the foreigner, and his ready com
mand of SIX languages gave him
many opportunities of pumping his
Barbarian" visitors.
Two American marines on shore
leave several years ago were doing
Tokyo, and the course of a walking
trip took them into the suburbs.
Stopping to rest under tree, they
lighted their pipes and were survey
ing the passing coolies and rick
shaws with lazy interest when an
open carriage, with outriders and
other evidences of japanese opu-
lence, came along the road. Seeing
a Jolly looking, bewhiskered Japa-
nese sitting alone in the vehicle,
they saluted in military fashion and
smiled back at him. Suddenly the
carriage stopped, and the occupant
beckoned the marines to approach.
HIf you're travelling my way there
is room in my carriage for three"
said the bewhiskered japanese in
English.
The Americans shook the ashes
from their pipes. stifTened into dig
nifty and marched into the seat Of
fered them with all the aplomb of
experienced globe trotters. Then
followed catechizing such as they
never underwent before. In the
language of one of them:
''The old guy asked us all we
knew about civilization down to who
killed Billy Patterson, and he pump
ed us as dry as battleship three
months in drydock. he was wise
nut all right and a good judge of
cigar. He was especially interested
in the service, and his questions
upon the treatment of men and
chances for promotion in the Unit
ed States marine corps showed
knowledge of foreign military and
naval affairs"
Now" he remarked as the car
rage turned into a private drive
way, "this is where 1 live, and as !
have an engagement on hand I will
have to part company. You can
have my carriage for the ride to
Tokyo. I've had an instructive half
hour with YOU, and appreciate your
forbearance in submitting to so long
a cross examination. Goodby, and
good lick to you both"
With these words the japanese
handed two cards to the marines,
shook hands, got out of the vehicle
and disappeared behind a party Of
bowling servitors, while the carriage
started for Tokyo.
But he was big gun, all right,
all right" observed one of the ma
rines refectively, leaning back
among the cushions and taking the
card out.
And he was. In English script
upon the card were two lines of
print, which read: Marquis Hiro-

Unexpectedly Became a Model.

An authoress of note was once
in Naples and very much desired to
know Morclli, the famous painter,
but could find no one to act as in
termediary So at last she took
her courage in her hands and re-
solved to introduce herself, but not
without qualms. rs she approached
she found the st1dio door open, one
more cause for embarrassment, and.
pushing a cu=tsin to one side, stood
before the artist at work. who, look
ing at her absentmindedly, said:
'"These lines seem to be all right.
What do you say:"' And to her
murmured response he went on:
"But the eyes Of the nuns do not
suit me. Pray sit down moment.
Yours are Just the thing"
With inward delight the lady sat
down and acted as model for an
hour and a half, during which
writer and artist talked as though
they had been friends all their lives.
At a certain point Moreli stopped
abruptly, took off his glasses, peered
at his handsome model and said,
But, excuse me, who are you?"
