A Haitian Glass Eve.

Some years ago Haitian general
wrote to Paris optician to supply
him with glass eye. The optician,
flattering himself that successful eye
would secure for him a Haitian deco
ration, devoted his utmost intelligence
to the production of splendid glass
optic Six months elapsed A small
box reached him from Haiti. A cross
glittered In his imagination; but, to his
horror, within folds of cotton was his
original eye, accompanied by the fol-
lowing note: "Sir-The eye you for
warded to me is of a tint that resem.
bles that of the Spanish flag, and |
am too patriotic TO wear any hut the
color of my country"
The optician proceeded at once to
the admiralty. there ascertained the
colors of the Haitian flag and then
manufactured a scarlet and green eye,

TRESPASSING IN ENGLAND.
If No Damage Is Done lntruders Need
Have No Fear


Have No Fear.
Many timid pedestrians In rural
England are frightened away from in
viting fields by the notice "Trespass-
ers viii Be Prosecuted" They need
have no fear, says an English ex-
change.
AS the law stands any trespasser
who does the smallest damage-in-
lures a fence, breaks small branch.
etc.-can be summoned before mag
istrate and fined. But II he does no
damage the landlord must bring an
action at law and get an injunction.
This costs lot Of money, and unless
the trespasser Is a man Of means the
landlord won't bring his action at law
All he can do otherwise is to ask you
to get out. If you go peaceably you
can return an hour later and repeat
the visit as often as you wish. Moth
ing can be done beyond asking you to
leave again. But II you resist then
sufficient force can be used, and If
you show fight you may be legally
knocked down, your legs tied and your
self bundled on to the road
The landlord may, however play
some tricks on you. He can saw a
bridge crossing a stream. so that you
will get ducking; he can dig a pit
for you to fall into, and he can so fix
the stile you are likely to cross that
you will break 1t, and then he can
have you up before the magistrate. If
you don't commit any damage, how
ever, you can trespass to your hearts
| content.

An Architects Ruse,

Der of the corporation insisted that
the roof required further support and
wished more pillars to be added. Vain
ly did Sir Christopher assure him that
the supposed danger was imaginary.
The alarm became infectious. and the
great architect was finally worried
into adding the desired columns.
Years rolled on. and in later times,
when architect and patrons had passed
away, cleaning operations on the roof
revealed the fact that the supposed
additional supports did not touch the
roof by couple Of inches, though this
was imperceptible to the gazers be-
low. By this curious expedient did
Sir Christopher pacify his critics while
indicating his own architectural skill
to future generations.

Mineral Microbes.

Some interesting experiments have
been made with ancient medals. vases
and so forth of lead that are gradually
disintegrating in the museum of Gu
ny. After Il certain number Of years
they fall into dust. The cause, 1t is
thought, lies in the presence of minute
quantities Of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial In the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words, the lead is sick" and unless
the noxious matter can be removed
will inevitably perish. Curiously
enough, it is found that If traces of
salt are impaired to fresh mass of
lead it is attacked and eventually falls
to pieces like the objects in the mu.
scum at Cluny.
