Artist Didn't Look Strong, but He
 Surprised a JOcuIaE Waiter.
 It isn't at all likely that Charles Allom, the English artist, will be served if he should appear in the din ing room of one of the big uptown restaurants. However, MT. Allom will once and now has reason to fear some waiter would slip him dog biscuit if he were to try it over.
 Allom is a good-natured person with pronounced English accent, and doesn't look very strong, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He is really man of won- derful physical strength. When the oysters came on, Mir. Allom, being of good and said so.
 "Ow. me good man, said he to the waiter. ''ow, ow. These oysters are vairy good, don't ye knaow.''
 The waiter said they were.
 Where did you get them?' asked Allom.
 The waiter told him that the oysters were raised from plants in the restau- rants back yard.
 "Yuh know, sir," said the waiter. us Americans has got Europe sllun on new inventions. The boss has found a way to plant oyster eggs ana he raises all he needs for his own use in pots. Yessir."
 Allom was a bit sore over this kid ding, especially as it happened in a flrst-class place. But he couldn't very we'll get into an altercation with the waiter. That individual thought so well of his jest that he had to go to the cashier and tell it. Every word was audible to Allom, even if t., waiter had not accompanied himself on the thumb, jerking that member backward over his shoulder in Allom's direction. By and by he brought the next dish to Allom's table. The artist got him by the wrist and began % turn it. The waiter writhed to his knees and finally let out a screech that brought the head waiter hurrying toward the table.

Experiments with ultraviolet light appear to show that it is more effective for sterilizing liquids than ozone.
 Prof. Lowell announces that he has discovered a new canal a thousand miles in length on Mars. The canal developed between May and September of last year.
 Recent experiments have proved con clusively that coal dust which has been ground to a state so fine that it will pass a 20O-mesh sieve will explode from contact with either a naked flame or with the arc of an electric current.
 NJ. Alder, the Frenchman said to have flown about 1000 feet in 1897 with his steam-propelled monoplane, the Avfon, has been decorated with the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. His machine is said to have embodied the wing warping principles since patented by the Wrights.
 Lately the practice of superheating steam for locomotives has been resum- ed in Europe and England, and with the aid of suitable fabrication, is said to have given good results. The sav- ing in coal consumption is estimated in England at 20 per cent, and a still higher economy has been claimed in Germany. In Italy the plan has been tried on the State railways with an economy of coal reckoned at 23.S per cent. In addition it is said that the trains run by superheated steam show q gain of 126 per cent in weight of load drawn, and 9.6 per cent in speed. as compared with trains run by satur- ated steam
 Sir A. Trevor Dawson makes this comparison to show the great strides made in modern ordnance in forty-fve years: In 1864 the most powerful 12- inch gun was a muzzle-loader, 12 cali bers long, weighing 23.5 tons, using a charge of 85 pounds of powder. and discharging a projectile of GA pounds with a muzzle velocity of 1900 feet ger second. It could perforate 16 inch es at a range of 6.OOO yards. In 1909 the 12-inch gun had become a breech- loader, 50 calibers long, weighing 70 tons, using a projectile of $50 pounds discharged with a muzzle velocity of 5000 feet per second, and capable of penetrating 52 inches of wrought iron at the muzzle, 37 inches at a distance of COCO yards, and 17.5 inches at 24,- coo yards.
 Until within few months past there has been no authenticated instance of the Alaska fur-seal being fed in captiv- ity and kept alive for any great length of time except in its natural environ ment.

It has been generally accepted by men of science that the last dinosanr trod the earth a great many centuries ago, in fact, something like four hun dred thousand years ago. From the fossilized remains a good knowledge has been obtained of the gigantic pro- portions and terrifying appearance of the creature, and all have agreed in a preference to study the bones, rather than a living specimen at large. From South Africa there now comes the ra- markable story that there is a living dinosaur somewhere in the northern part of Rhodesia. Natives have recent ly told Of a mighty reptile in a lake near the river Lunga, and have idcn- tified drawings of the dinosaur as re- sembling this creature Thus far the proof is hardly convincing, but the story arouses a certain interest. Un- fortunately, the Roosevelt expedition did not penetrate that part of the Af- rican wilderness, but perhaps here is the opportunity for some hunter or naturalist to win immortal fame

feeding them artifcially. Both were doing well at the end of the year. Mr. Thurber fed them at first with con- densed milk and then with fish. He found it necessary. in the case of the male, to cut membrane called the ire mum, which restricted the movement of the tongue; the female eventually broke the frenum by her own efforts. They have been kept in a box filled with sea-water on board the Bear. it is thought that this experiment will afford means of saving fur-seal nurs- lings whose mothers have been killed at sea, which hitherto have invariably died of starvation.

What He Lacked.

A Cleveland lawyer whose interest frequently take him to a certain town in Indiana, tells of a quaint character there known to the townspeople as Necessity" Nelson. Nelson gets on pretty well despite the fact that he is a jack of all trades "and master of none" He poses mainly as an attor ney.
