A Merlted Rebulse,

At the age of eighty-six Madam Rey-
nolds still found much zest In life, and
having retained all her faculties, she
felt that few of the physical disabiii-
ties of her age were OF small account
and portending nothing. Her nephew
Thomas was a man of much worth,
but of a certain tactlessness of speech
which always reused the ire Of his
aunt
A few weeks before the old lady's
eighty-seventh birthday, Thomas. who
had been overweighted with business
cares for years, started on a trip round
the world which was to consume two
years
1--WE come to say good-by," he an
nounced, when he appeared at his
aunt's house, in a town fifty miles dis
tant from his home. I'm starting
round the world next week. and as I'm
to be gone two years. and perhaps
longer, thought l might not ever
well, you understand. wanted to be
sure to see you once more"
The old lady leaned forward fixing
him with her bead-like eyes.
Thomas" she said, imperatively,

doesn't think you'll live to get back T.

The debt of industry to science has
often. and very properly. been pro
claimed; but now the reverse is an
nounced. The National Electric Lamp
Association has established at Cleve-
land a physical laboratory, which the
director. DR.. e. P. Hyde, declares has
for its object the development Of sci
ence rather than the improvement of
an industrial commodity. In this re-
spect 1t differs from the many labora-
tories that have in recent years been
established in connection with large
manufacturing concerns. Among the
objects of research will be the laws of
radiation and the radiant properties
Of matter, and the effects of light and
its attendant phenomena on the eye,
the skin, and microscopic organisms.
A corps of investigators is being
formed.

In England nine-tenths of the lads
Of the middle classes look forward to
nothing more than seat at an office
desk with a certain number of shil-
lings a week for certain number Of
years. To attempt to do anything
else would be to run the risk of social
ostracism. A young man may loaf re-
specially on his family. But he must
on no account start a business II 1t
involves selling anything or producing
anything with his hands. That would
be bad form. It would be getting out
side the groove. Thus for the great
mass of the people England holds no
romance. The lad who thinks he
could do something is discouraged.
Every class distinction Is SO definite
ly marked. The whole weight Of pub
lie opinion is against the smallest d.
vergence from the ordinary rule.

Mr.. Archibald Sharp described at
recent meeting Of the Institution of
Automobile Engineers in London his
system Of air-springs for road vehicles.
As applied to the saddle pillar of a
bicycle, the apparatus consists essen
TALLY of vertical cylinder with a pis-
ton or plunger, made to work air-tight
by a specially constructed "mitten," /"
and supporting the weight of the rider.
The same device has been applied to
motorcycles, and experiments have
been made with light motor-car. On
the front fork of heavy motorcycle
the ''life" of the "mitten" covered
from 1000 to 5000 miles. but on a
back spring fork 1t was only equiya-
lent to 1000 miles. The effect of the
air-springs is described as luxuriously
comfortable.

Enallsh Mail Routes.

The first record contained in our
Colonial history of any kind of mail
service dates from 1875. when the
court in Boston appointed Mr.. John
Hayward to take in and convey let
ters according to their direction" In
December. 17l6. arrangements were
made to receive letters in Boston from
Williamsburg, Va, during four weeks
OF the Summer time and eight weeks

INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX.
Apparently Able to Distinguish Be
tween Real and False Dangers.

Apparently Able to Distinguish BE-
tween Real and False Dangers.
The intelligence Of the fox is often
shown by the way he refuses to be
headed when he has made up his
mind as to the safe course to take.
The West Somerset have an excel.
lent fixture at Kilve. but It has one
drawback-the sea is not far on, and
foxes naturally often make for the
cliffs, secure refuge. A fox can be
easily headed at times, but that is
nearly always when to be seen would
betray him to his enemies, the hounds
and give them an advantage; but wheL
If he makes his point the advantage
is on his side. then nothing will turn
him.
To return to the West Somerset at
Kilve; they found fox, and the whip
perrin, seeing that the fox meant to go
to the cliffs ii possible, started to head
him OF. The ground was open, and
for half mile the whipperin and fox
were taking parallel lines. the fox
clearly meaning to slip by and find a
refuge in the cliffs. The man turned
the fox away at last, but In a short
time the hounds lost him, and be-
lieve he got back after all.
Again the master ranged up some of
the field to prevent another fox going
back into a certain covert. In vain
whips were ratified against saddle
flaps; the fox went right through the
watchers and made his point. 1t is q
thing l have often noticed both with
stag or fox, that the quarry seems to
distinguish between real and false
dangers.-London Globe.

During 1910 It is expected that
strenuous efforts will be made to i'm
prove the already great efficiency Of
the gas-engine. Although this form
of engine enjoyed triumph in 1909
through the achievements Of the aero
planes, yet 1t is pointed out that its
old rival, the steam-engine, at the
same time greatly advanced In fuel
economy. achieving a thermal efficiea-
cy of IS per cent, figure hitherto as
sociated with gas rather than with
steam-engine tests. 1t has recently
been discovered that. owing to errOne-
-ous assumptions, the gas-engine has
not been credited with having ap-
preached as close to the thcoIc1c
limit of thermal efficiency attainable
by the prevailing four-stroke cyclt as
it really has approached. Thus It has
been shown that. gas-engine which
by the old standard OF efficiency was
supposed to have attained 80 points
out of a possible 80. This leaves so
little room for improvement that ex-
perimenters are turning their atten-
ton to radical changes in the method
of operation which viii afford larger
margin for advance.

FREAK RUBBER rRnEs.
RsvOI,ed Against Parasites and Killed
Them OF.


Some years ago big planter in the
Congo abandoned a rubber tract Of
several hundred miles which had be-
come infested with the parasite Of
the rcgion. All the trees droopod and
died down to the roots, only these
surviving. Part of the trunk under
the inner bark continued to yield the
rubber milk, as usual, but the fluid
was found to be thoroughly poisoned
and apparently useless. A visit to
the abandoned tract some years after
the blight had fallen showed, to the
amazement Of the owner, that the
trees had taken on q new life. When
the milk was tested he found that 1t
made rubber of a superior quality,
and now brings the highest price in
the market Apparently nature had
reyolted against the destructive in
sects and with their poison the trees
had inoculated themselves against
further affiction of the kind.
