a Rather Dull Pearl.

There is an anecdote in ]. A. Ham
merton's George Meredith In Anec-
dote and Criticism" which hints at the
possibility Of the great novelist's foun-
tain of talk being sealed at times.
A lady who had friends in Surrey
who were on terms of some intimacy
with the novelist was greatly charmed
on one occasion when visiting there to
find that Meredith was to be one Of
the guests at dinner. She prepared
herself for rich ingathering Of his
celebrated flowers of witty talk. But
he was singularly silent throughout
the visit, and the only Meredithian
phrase the lady could carry away with
her was his remark when reaching
across his neighbor for the salt:
Excuse the picnic stretch"

The first lighthouse built on this
continent was at st. Augustine, Fla.
It's chief use was as lookout, whence
the Spanish people of the town could
see vessels approaching from Spain
or get notice Of the coming of foes in
time to run away. The tower attract
ed the attention of Francis Drake as
he was sailing along the coast with his
fleet of high popped ships on his way
home from pillaging the cities of the
Spanish main. so he stepped long
enough to loot the town and destroy
what he could not take away.

Gamboge is one Of the artists most
important yellows. 1t is the gum resin
Of tree which bears yellow flowers
and leathery, laurel-like leaves. The
name Of the pigment indicates the
country from which it comes. for gam
boge is simply a corruption of Cam
boja or Cambodia. In this far eastern
country the tree grows wild and sheds
those sticky tears which help the
artist to paint the sunrise and the
autumn tints Of the woods. Gamboge

A Very r,u CLOCK.


The village clock, which because
OF its elevation. size, and isolation
seems to the town a great thing, some
thing belonging to the whole COM
munity, something for boys and even
men to wonder at, exists by the hun
dred In a metropolis, in church spires
and buildings, most OF them dwarfed
by surrounding skyscrapers Of mon
strous size, and practically none Of
them causing a thrill. The city of New
York. however now has a real town
clock a clock that may be seen three
miles away, a clock that looms up day
and night in the Metropolitan Tower
and stirs the busy worker as he hur-
ries on his way. Here are some of the
facts about this clock Twenty-six
feet across the face and 3i6 feet from
the sidewalk. Hands twelve and eight
feet long Figures, four feet high.
One hundred and ninety-eight electric
lights In each dial, to say nothing Of
those in the hands. Above this clock
stretches tower the tip of which is
almost seven hundred feet from the
ground. In comparison with this time
piece hundreds of church clocks in
the same city are practically lost

A European geologist calls atten-
ton to the practical bearing OF recent
geological studies Of the construction
of the Karpathian Mountains. It has
hitherto been assumed that the coal
basin adjoining these mountains ter
inmates at a fault along their edge.
but Professor Uhlig shows that the
coal must continue under the noun
tains, and that the proper points to
sound for II may be determined sim
ply by the character Of the superposed
layers. Instead OF sounding through
the Lower Cretaceous formation. as
has been attempted, he points out that
the places where the older Tertiary
layer shows itself are those where the
coal must lie nearest the surface. Re
cent soundings indicate the correct
ness Of his conclusions.

The kltohan Dresser.

DR., Johnson tells us that the kltch-
en- dresser was bench in the kitchen
on which meat was dressed, or pre-
pared, for table.
Wright, in his Domestic Manners
Of the Middle Ages" says; "One Of
the great objects of ostentatIon in a
rich mans house was his plate, which
at dinner time he brought forth and
spread on the table in sight of his
guests. Afterward, to exhibit the plate
to more advantage, the table was
made with shelves or steps, on which
the different articles could be ar
ranged In rows, one above another It
WAS called in French. or Anglo-Nor-
man, a dressoir, because on It the diff
ferent articles we're dressed. or ar
ranged"

How tha Eva sees ,he EYe.

At a recent meeting of the French
Academy Of Sciences. the apparatus
Of Doctor Forth for rendering visible
the inner structure Of the human eye
was described. A very brilliant mir
ror is illuminated with a Cooper
Hewitt tube, and the light is reflected
into the eye. after traversing two
thicknesses Of blue glass and being
concentrated by large lens fixed in
a screen. The observer places his eye
behind the lens at such distance
that the whole neld appears uniformly
Illuminated. What he sees Is re-
Election of the interior Of his own eye.
The circulation of the blood in the
minute vessels is visible. When a
screen pierced with a pinhole is
passed rapidly to and fro between the
eye and the lens, the structure of the
fovea. the minute spot on the retina
which Is the most sensitive part Of
the eye. is revealed. The apparatus is
designed to aid Investigations by ocu-
lists.

Pooahontn. and Iohn smIth.

The pretty story of Smiths rescue
from imminent death by Pocahontas
when he was In the clutches of her re-
doubtable father. Powhatan, has been
rather blown upon by later historians.
It has been shown that Smith in his
earlier narrative only mentions the
princess incidentally as a child. and II
was not until she came afterward to
England and Smith wrote an account
OF her for the edification OF the court
that he described vividly how she haz-
arded the beating out of her own
brains to save his. By that time the
romantic Pocahontas had the meta
morphosed into Mistress Rebecca
Rolfe. wife Of a Virginia settler of
standing, and her portrait, with
plumed hat. run and fan. has been
duly handed down in this capacity.

TypswrItIna in Arabic.

An American inventor has succeed
ed in making a typewriting-machine
which prints Arabic characters. The
principal difficulties to be overcome
we're in allowing some letters double
the space Of others. and in providing
certain letters with three different
forms. according as they fan at the
beginning. In the middle, OF at the
end OF q word. The machine con
tains 81 characters. eight of which
automatically supply themselves with
double the space taken by the others.
The machine has been tested by a
committee OF examiners at Beirut and
pronounced satisfactory, but some ma
tive critics think several of the letters
should have been more elegantly
shaped, for In Arabic writing beauty
IS appreciated as much as legibility.

The smaIIeet sheen in the World.

The Smallest sheep In the World.
The smallest sheep in the world Is
the tiny Breton sheep. 1t is too small
to be profitable to raise, for 1t cannot
have much wool. and as for eating,
why, hungry man could eat whole
sheep at a single meal.
1t takes its name from the part Of
France where Il is most raised. 1t is
the dearest little pet imaginable. 1t
is very gentle, and because 1t is SO
tiny 1t is not such a nuisance about
the house as the famous lamb which
belonged to the little girl named Mary.
Any little girl could find room In
her lap for Breton sheep. One Of its
peculiarities Is its extreme sympathy
with the feelings of its human friends
when 1t has been brought up In the
house as a pet. II its master or mis-
tress is pleased about anything the
little sheep will frisk about with every
sign of Joy. On the contrary. II tears
are being shed the sympathetic sheep

A Dead Poet Asked to rea.


All Paris laughed at the Duchesse
de Rohan this week when It was dis
covered that Paul Verlaine, the dead
poet, had been invited to attend the
latest of her literary teas. which she
has been giving the last ten years.
The card was sent TO the address o:
VerlaiDes publisher, who has lately
brought out an edition of his post
humous works. The explanation. Il
seems, is that Nine. de Rohan intrust.
ed the directing of her invitations to
her valet, who took the names Of the
authors Of the newest books sent heT
as his guide. The duchesse took the
blunder very hard at first. but is said
now to have quite recovered her
eQuanimity.

advertising a poq's Cemetery.

For several years Parisians and
English visitors to Paris have made
pious pilgrimages to the Dogs Gene
terry on the lie des Rayageurs, just
outside the city. There they have read
with emotion such inscriptions as "A
mon toutou ADORE" "a mon malou
cheri" and many others of a similar
kind. But It now transpires that these
tender tributes we're the invention of
some enterprising stonecarver who,
when the graveyard was opened, in
1893, was given a monopoly for the
tombstones to be erected over the
graves of canine favorites. In order
to attract others he erected Fifty
stones In various parts of the ceme-
terry and engraved apocryphal inscrip-
tions on them.

MelahInn a Perfume.

An Italian physicist Signor Sal
Yioni. has devised a microbalance Of
such extreme delicacy that Il clearly
demonstrates the loss Of weight OF
musk by volatilization. Thus the in
visible, perfume floating on in the air
Is Indirectly weighed. The essential
part Of the apparatus is a very thin
thread of glass, fixed at one end and
extended horizontally. The micro
scoDic objects to be weighed are placed
upon the glass thread near Its free
end. and the amount of iexure pro
duced Is observed with a microscope
magnifying 100 diameters. A mote
Weighing one-thousandth Of a milli-
gram perceptibly bends the thread.
