A POOR JUMP.

Il Came Near Being the Death Of Isa-
bey, the Painter.
Napoleon Bonaparte. as Is we'll
known, was in the habit Of walking
with his arms crossed upon his chest
and his head slightly bent forward.
Isabey. the painter, was at Malmai-
son, and he and some Of the first con-
suls aids-de-camp were having a game
of leapfrog on the lawn. Isabey had
already jumped over the heads of
most of them when at the turning of
path he espied the last player, who,
in the requisite position, seemed to be
waiting for the ordeal. Isabey pur-
sued his course without looking. but
took his fight so badly as only to
reach the others shoulders. and both
rolled over and over in the sand.
To Isabey's CONSERVATION. his sup
posed fellow player turned out to be
Bonaparte, who got up. foaming at the
mouth with anger. and, drawing his
sword. pounced upon the unfortunate
artist. Isabey, luckily for himself bet
ter at running than at leaping. took to
his heels and. jumping the bitches di-
viding the property from the highroad,
got over the wall and never stopped
until. breathless, he reached the gates
Of the Tuileries.
Isabey. it was added, went immedi-
ately to Nine. Bonaparte's apartments.
and she, after having laughed at the
mishap. advised him to lie low for a
little while.

TOO ROUGH ON CUT GLASS

New York, March "a Richard
Carle, comedian, and Joe Tuohey, an
actor who comes from a we'll known
Chicago family, have so tried the pa
tience of their fellow Lambs that they
have been indefinitely abolished.
Things had come to pretty pass. said
a member of the club, when an actor
could jump over the bar into $4,000
worth of cut glass.
1t was only last week that another
famous Lamb, "Bottling" Nelson, not
related to the pugilist of somewhat
similar name, was abolished. Mr.
Nelson is not an actor, but that fact
didn't save him.
So large has the ex-membership OF
the Lambs club grown that new club
may be formed AS matter of fact

sions at the Gerard, just across Forty

THE ADAMS APPLE.
An Important Organ That Helps to
Protect the Brain.

An Important Organ That Helps to
Protect the Brain.
One of the most remarkable pieces
of mechanism in the human system, a
device which anticipated several of
our modern patents, is the Adams ap-
pie, which for ages physicians consid-
cred a sort Of freak of nature with
out any material use in the human
economy. But how differently this
little device is considered today!
If We had no Adams apple there
would have been more deaths from
apOplexy and brain disorder than ever
chronicled in history. Instead Of be-
ing useless organ this article serves
as an important storage system to
protect the brain.
For instance. when we are excited
or too animated the heart pumps the
hlQOd up to the brain little too fast,
and If it could not be stopped by some
automatic device death or brain dis
ease would follow. The Adams ap-
pie Is the blood storage cistern which
intercepts the rapid flow and holds
the surplus blood.
Again. If the supply from the heart
runs short and the brain is likely to
suffer from an insufficient supply the
storage cistern gives up its surplus
Of blood. Thus this organ acts au-
tomatically to check and increase the
flow of the blood to the brain. protect
ing that organ from damage through
our temporary excesses. - Pearson's
Weekly.

II air cannot be seen, what is it that
we see quivering above a field on a
hot summer day or even above a hot
stove In the house? That question has
puzzled many a head, both old and
young. The answer usually given is
that 1t Is the heat, but heat cannot be
seen and therefore it is not the heat.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
really quite simple, like all such things,
when we hear it. AS a matter of fact,
1t Is air that we see quivering, but
heat makes it visible. The quivering
is caused by the upward passage, close

Of different temperatures in which the
