The Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DR.. S. s.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer of New
York. was experimenting with a small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity if the %propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors. doing away with all
the gears then in use In steam propul-
sion. With this idea in mind he had a
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft Of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in a fine breeze Of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de,
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan,
with the result hat he soon perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.

His Apology.

A recent refusal by a member of the
English parliament to withdraw lone
comma" of what he had said about q
member Of the government recalls the
fact that Richard Brinsley Sheridan
once declined to p%unctuate an apology,
In the house of commons one day
Sheridan gave an opponent the lie di
rect. Called upon to apologize, the of.
fender replied:
MI. Speaker, l said the honorable
member was a liar it is true and l am
sorry for it."
The insulted party was not satisfied
and said 50.
"Sir," retorted Sheridan, "the honor.
able member a interpret the terms
of my statement according to his abil
ity, and he can put punctuation marks
where it pleases him."

BonnycIabber.

New drinks have sometimes a glori-
GUS and brief popularity. Lord STRAIT
ford, writing to Lord Cottington in
1886, extols ''bonnyclabber.'' which he
says lis the bravest, freshest drink
you ever tasted. Your Spanish don
would, on the heats of. Madrid. hang
his nose and shake his beard an hour
owe every sop be took of it and take
it to be the drink of the gods all the
while"
No one, however. seems to know
the exact composition of the seductive
'bonnyclabber," although from an al
fusion to it by Ben Jonson it would
seem to have been a mixture Of beer
and observation-disclosures Chronicle.

KEEPING TAP ON THE CROPS
The Way the Agricultural Department
Gets Its Information.

The details of the comprehensive sys-
tenn employed by the department Of
agriculture in gathering the crop in
formation from all over the country
are interesting. There are 10000
township correspondents scattered all
over the Union. whose duty 1t is to go
carefully over the territory and submit
each month concrete information as to
the condition of all kinds of crops. In
addition to this branch. 5000 county
correspondents" send in separate re-
ports from those of the township men.
A state agent makes a further report
direct from his agents, and an organ
ization in direct communication with
the department.. comprising seventeen
travelling field agents. go about the
country and make separate reports for
groups of states. Special cotton cor
respondents are also employed to fur
nish ccura information concerning
the cotton yield. Five different reports
are sent to Washington each month
by five different sets of correspondents.
This safeguards the government crop
reports for accuracy in local crop re-
ports and keeps the great crop account
and cost estimates for the millions of
American farmers. These records are
sent to the agricultural department. Of
ficials of the bureau of statistics and a
board go over all the five reports from
five distinct groups of correspondents,
and from all the figures a crop report
estimate is distributed to 10000 post
offices throughout the country every
month.-NationaI Magazine.

Earliest Iheater.

What was probably one of the earli-
est theaters built was the theater of
Dionysus, which was begun five centu-
ries before Christ. The seating capac-
ity of this remarkable building is said
to have been 10000. nearly four times
that of our largest amusement palace.
The theater of Dionysus was erected
when Greek art and literature were in
their prime. Here were presented to
a~ppreciative spectators the wonderful
works of Aeschylus. Sophocles and
Euripides.

Poets, Licenses.

The poet was sick at heart. He Just
had submitted one of his very best
productions to an unfeeling editor, who
had rebuffed him in these gentle
words:

If l had my way a poet would have
to take out a license every year and
