though we haven't found the cause for
trachoma. as we have for ophthalmia

less frequent In this country because
we are preventing its spread through
the adoption of modern methods in its
treatment.

all other causes of the destruction Of
the human eye are not to be compared
In their effects to those of the two
leading diseases before mentioned.
Blindness caused by cataract is amen

majority of cases.

This story Is told OF Jerome Z. Je-

abroad one time. he fell into good COM
pany. with the exception Of one man.
who was what is known as "a walking
encyclopedia" This man persisted In
giving all sorts OF information. much
to the annoyance Of Mr.. Jerome and
others. One morning. as the travellers
leaned over the rail, admiring the ris-
Ing sun. the man with the information
turned to them and said almost sol
menly:
Gentlemen, If the earth were nat
tened out the sea would be two miles
deep over the whole world"
Mt Jerome turned around, seeming.
ly stunned. Then he grew indignant
and. walking over to the other man
he said. shaking his finger menacingly

SUCCESSFUL WITH STUMPS
John Syphers Has Burning Process
Which Works Well

John Syphers who recently pur-
chased 25 acres of the Humbird
e7mpany. has made some successful
experiments along the line of ex-
terminating stumps. By this
method stumps can be easily gotten
rid OF practically with no outlay OF
cash. The plan pursued by Mr.
Syphers is a simple one. Dig away
the dirt from the stump down to
where the roots branch out, and
make an opening underit from one
side to the other. Place around the
stump kindling and dry wood set
on end. Cover the stump and kind
ling with dirt, leaving the hole
under the stump open. Set fire to
the kindling and in a few hours
the stump will be consumed. Care
should be taken to see that the
stump is kept covered with dirt
during the buring process. Five
Stumps were burned out in one day
by this method, some of which were
three feet in diameter.

An Error Made Him . Professor Of
History In Russia.
Some years ago the minister OF edu-
cation In st. Petersburg was appealed
TO by telegraph for cook. to be bur-
ried to Moscow. The operator got his
dashes and dots mixed. but by next
train a man arrived and was ceremoni-
ously conducted TO the university.
where he was introduced to the assem-
bled faculty and students as the new
professor in history.
The unhappy fellow protested that.
while he might be professor Of pots
and pans. he knew nothing about his
tory. But In Russian official life 1t Is
harder far TO correct an error than to
make one, 30 for several years the cook
has held his professorship. though nc
one attends his lectures.
Another laughable story comes from
the Suwalky school for boys. A door.
keeper there who could scarcely read
or write had grown so untidy and
slow that he was no longer useful. but
as the headmaster did not want to sci
him adrift he promoted him to a teach
er's post and had him transferred to 6
distant school. He. too, will be pro
fessor some day.-Moscow Letter II

London,s Town Hall.

The guildhall is an important public
building In London. which may be re-
garded as the town hall. and Is the
place of assembly OF several courts, AZ
the court of common council. the court
OF aldermen. the chamberlain's court
and police court presided over by one
OF the aldermen. The construction Of
the building was begun In 1411. 1t
was partially destroyed In the great
fire of 1866. but was soon restored. and
In 1889 1t was altered to its present
form. The hall proper is 1853 feet In
length. AZ 10 breadth and IS In height.
1t has been famous for centuries for
the magnificence Of its civic feasts.
The first time 1t was used for this
purpose was in 1900. when Sir John
Shaw. goldsmith. who had been
knighted on the feld Of Bosworth, nrst
gave here the lord mayors feast.

John Barrett was only twenty seven

LIGHTNING FLASHES.
Many Things Concerning Thorn That

Science Cannot Fathom.
A young girl In charge Of two chill
dren, sheltering under tree on Chisle-
hurst common. was struck by light
ming and killed-one of those dreadful
instances Of the sort of personal touch
with which lightning seems to select
its victim. for. though one child Is re-
ported to have been thrown down. nei-
Their apparently was injured. There
are many instances, of course, of this
strange selection. due In most cases
probably to some accident Of clothing.
There IL we'll remembered case which
happened some years ago at Cam
bridge. when three young men were
walking across an open space OF
ground, and the middle one Of the
three was struck dead. while the 9th
ers were untouched. The inquest
showed that the young man who was
killed had nails In his boots. whereas
the others were wearing boating shoes.

NEW GUINEA PYGMlES.
The Spear and Bow and Poisoned Ar
rows Their Chief Wes,ons.


Our knowledge Of the cygmies Of
New Guinea shows that In habit they
are nomadic. nowhere filling the
ground, but depending for their living
entirely on their skill In hunting and
fishing. Their chief weapon is the
bow. their arrows being generally
poisoned either with the famous upas
or some other similar vegetable poison.
IN some cases a species Of strychnine.
They also make use Of the spear and
an ingenious form Of spring gun
which IL common to numerous other
forest tribes. This is formed by set
ting q fattened bamboo spear attached
to a bent sapling. which Is fastened to
trigger In such way that 1t Is re-
leased by the passerby stumbling
against an invisible string stretched
across q game track. These spears are
really set for game. and to the Until
ated they are obvious enough, as their
presence is always indicated by GER
tain well known signs. such as
broken or twig placed In cleft stick.
In war these signs are removed. the
removal being equivalent to the NOV
| ing of buoys In a mined channel. The
wounds inflicted by these hardened
bamboo spears are necessarily serious.
The mental qualities Of the Negritos
are extremely undeveloped. none OF
them being able to express higher
numerical idea than three. but all OBJ
servers who have met them unite In
saying that they are merry little PEG
pie. with great ideas Of hospitality
when their confidence has been gained
and provided they have not been pre-
viously Ill treated. They are not can
nibals and are generally homogeneous
