Afraid of the Rama local man

Afraid of the Rama local man
who enjoys an occasional joke on his
wife Is still chuckling over this one:
After preparing a hamper of lunch
con and gathering in couple OF
friends in order that they might also
enjoy the fresh air of the country
she Instructed the chauffeur to go to
the Office, where her husband Joined
the party which proceeded to Four
Mile Run. A stop was made at the
corner while one of the party disap-
peared into the shrubbery of side
mill to secure water. for II was the
plan to have lemonade with the lunch
con under the trees.
The water carrier was gone an un-
usually long time, and on his return
explained his delay by saying: There
was only a trickling stream coming
from the spring, so 1 had to wait.
There was a ram down there in the
bushes, and 1t seemed to be taking up
all the water"
"A what?" queried the hostess.
"A ram-hydraulic RAM"

When the X-rays were first detected
by Prof. Rontgen by their action upon
a fuoresceht screen and upon q pho
tographic dry plate the newspaper
scribes gave the discovery the erro-
neous title ''the new photography"
quite ignorant of the fact that the
dry plate was no more than a record
er Of the phenomenon. Strangely
enough, what we may call the "old
photography" by which Is meant the
usual process with camera and lens,
was the subject Of prophecy many
years ago.
This Is perhaps not so remarkable
as the instances of prediction already
given; for although the invention Of
the camera obscura Is commonly at
tributed to Baptista Porta in the six
teenth century, its principle was well
understood many hundred years be-
fore his time. And We may feel con-
fldent that many must have dreamed
Of the possibility Of making the images
formed by the sun take a more per-
manent form. Especially would this
be the case after Scheele, the Swedish
chemist, had shown in the eighteenth
century that silver chloride would
darken under the action Of light. La
Fontaine. who died long before
Scheele was born, gives in one Of his
fables method Of picture making
which may be regarded as fore
shadowing the beautiful art that is
now Of service to mankind in so many
different ways.
1t occurs under the title Voyage
Suppose" and a description runs as
follows:
"There was M nainter In that coun-
try but II anybody wished to have
the portrait of a friend, of a picture,
beautiful landscape, or Of any other
object, water was placed in great ba-
sins Of gold or silver. and then the
object desired to be painted was plac-
ed in front Of that water. After a
while the water froze and became a
glass mirror. on which an ineffaceable
image remained"

"SEElNG THINGS"
Famous Men Had Remarkable Expe-
rences With Apparitions.

riences With Apparitions.
There was a certain Pisander whose
name has been preserved in one Of the
proverbial sayings of the Greeks, be-
cause he lived i'm continual fear of
seeing his own ghost. Just that thing
happened to the German poet Goethe.
One day, when he was out riding in a
spot somewhat removed from the
usual haunts of men, he saw horse
man approaching him, and as he drew
near he saw that the rider was no less
person than himself-hiS other self
though dressed differently. Twen-
ty years after he found himself, quite
without forethought of the matter, in
the same place on horseback and
dressed just as was the apparition of
himself which he had met there two
decades before.

"spook." He tells the story i'm his

quently i'm our walks discussed and
speculated upon many grave subjects,
among others, on the Immortality of

question and the possibility, / will not
say of ghosts walking. but of the dead
appearing to the living, were subjects
of much speculation, and we actually
committed the folly of drawing up an
agreement, written with our blood. to
the effect that whichever of us died

Double Action PrescriptIon.-On
wet and bitter night in winter old DR..
B. was summoned from his snug home
to attend a farmer threatened with
pneumonia. The farmers wife, lit
tie woman resembling a scared bird,
reported that the patient called for
hot punch, but that she awaited the
doctors permission before giving it.

soon as you can. strong and hot, and

The little woman soon fiuttered in

The Worlds Egg SuppIy.-One sta
to have in quite sufficient supply is the
egg Of the "unsyndicated, unmonopo-
lized" hen. In the large view Of the
egg market there Is never an over
supply. The extent and character Of
the international trade in eggs is evil
dence enough that 1t Is necessary to
go great distances to obtain eggs to
meet the requirements of countries
which import many more than they
ship to other nations. England i'm
ports eggs from several countries.
Russia alone supplies the British mar
kets with more than a billion eggs
every year, and many Of the eggs ship
ped from Russia are really from Sibe-
ria. They cross Europe, after leaving
Asia, to supply consumers in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Canada has lately i'm
ported eggs In great quantities from
China. especially, to meet the needs Of
mining camps and lumber districts
Is scarcely another food staple which
is handled so freely, in so many direc-
tions in international trade as eggs.
Great Britain imports them from
many countries, obtaining about g.
200, 900, 900 in all. The United States
imports a comparatively small num-
ber Of eggs from Canada and exports
many times that quantity to the do
minion. in the interior Of China eggs
are probably cheaper than In any 9TH
er country where they are produced
in large quantities. There they some
times sell at the rate Of eight or nine
for a cent and good eggs at that. In
the United States the latest statistics
show that about 1,500,000,000 dozen
eggs are produced in a year. These
$4,000, 100000 eggs, If laid end to end,
would go around the earth at the
equator about sixteen times. The line
would be 100000 miles long. That
quantity Of eggs would weigh not less
than 100000 tons. 1t would load 100
of the biggest steamers on the great
lakes, averaging 10000 tons to the
cargo. No less than 10000 average
railroad cars would be required to
move that immense weight Of eggs,
even If they could be shoveled into
the cars like so much coal. If these
American figures are multiplied by
five or six, the total egg crop Of the
world may be roughly indicated, II
not measured. 1t is probable that the
eggs produced in one year, in all coun-
tries, weigh not less than 100000 or
5000, 900 tons, and number nearly or
quite 100000. 100000. That means
about 65 or 20 eggs in year for ev-
cry man, woman and child on the
earth.
