Animals Are Poor Sailors,

 The polar bear is the only wild ank nal that likes trip on the water, ac. eording to French scientist who has studied its behavior at sea. He is quite jolly when aboard ship, but all other animals violently resent such a voyage and vociferously give vent to their feelings until seasickness brings silence.
 The tiger suffers most of all. He whines pitifully. his eyes water con- tinually. and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are bad sailors and often die on sea voyage.
 Oxen gre heroic in their attempts not to give way to seasickness. Ele- plants do not like the sea, but they are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy is buckeful of hot wa ter containing three and a half pints of whisky and seven ounces of Qut nine.-Fur News.

FooIhardx Snake ksaper.

The only fatal case of snake bite o.
record in the London geological gar
dens was directly due to the foolish
ness Of the victim. He was In charge
OF the snakes and, coming in one
morning with some friends, began tt
boast of his power over the creatures
and the extent to which they would
submit to be played with by one whom
they knew. This led to practical ex
perinents. The overconfident keeper
took an Indian cobra from its com
Portable sleeping place and. declaring
he was snake charmer, proceeded tt
swing it about his head and play Other
tricks with it. A native snake charm
er would have known there was nc
more certain way to rouse the snakes
temper than this, for the race abhors
rough handling or sudden movement
of any sort. The result Of the exploit
was that the keeper was bitten on the
nose. He was hurried off to the hos

When He Was Bad.

1t has been said that you never know
man till you travel with him, and
certainly travelling has q tendency to
bring out all the depravity innate in
human nature. Out Of this test, how
ever, Benjamin Disraeli emerged with
flying colors. This is what was said
of him by Mrs Austen, who with her
husband travelled with him when he
was quite young man. as related in
Mr.. Monypenny's biography:

was addressed to Disraeli's sister,, sis

put on his shirt; then he is violently

It was In. the reign Of good King
James that baronets first came into
existence Today you could hardly tell
q baronet from banker. But In the
year 1911, when James 1. needed ready
money and created 200 little barons''
to supply him with cash, they swag-
gered about in their ba1drfcs and sash
es and behaved in the courtliest of
fashion Each baronet in order 10
justify his title had to maintain q
small army Of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only increased his revenue, but
actually Hghtened his expenses.
1t Is not generally known that the
title of "baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One of these was
the mother Of Dutch general. The
other was a Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way
into the good graces of Charles I. and
received the title from bis hands,

Figures are sometimes impressive
simply by being SO stupendous that
the human mind grasps them with
difficulty. An instance in point is at
forded by the illustration once offered
to his hearers by an eminent scientist,
who, In order to bring to their COM
prehension the idea of ultimate parti-
cles OF water, stated that If he was to
empty q tumbler containing half a
pint Of water, letting out each second
a number equal to 1000 times the
population Of the earth. it would re-
quire somewhere between 100000
and 100000 years to empty the tum-
bier. Lord Kelvin has assured us that
If drop of water was magnified to
the size Of the earth the particles
would be between the size of cricket
balls and footballs. If that statement
IS correct the drops Of water in all the
oceans are not many times so numer-
Gus as the particles, or molecules, in a
single drop.-St. Louis Republic.
