fish are warmer than the water they
live in. stuck a needle connected with
a thermoelectrlc circuit into living

one element of the circuit. while the
other element was immersed in the
same water that contained the fish.
The latter was not seriously injured by
the needle and quickly became indif-

An UntineIy Royal Letter and the
Message II Conveyed.


One night at 3 o'clock the bishop OF
Orleans was reused by royal cou-
rier who had in hot haste brought q
dispatch from mis- majesty Louis XIV.
The bishop imagined that something
terrible had happened. Tremblingly he
opened the package and read:
Monsieur the Bishop of Orleans-My
daughters wish for some preserved Or
leans ounces. Pray send some. II
you have none beg that you will
In this part Of the letter there was a
drawing of a sedan chair. and under
meath the chair the kings letter con-
tinued thus:
Send Immediately into your episco-
pal town and get them, and, monsieur
the bishop. may God have you in his
holy keeping. Louis"
Lower down on the page was this
postscript:
THE sedan chair does not mean any
thing. 1t was drawn by my daughter
on this sheet of paper, which l hap
pened to find near me-"
Greatly relieved. the bishop hurried
courier into Orleans, procured the
preserves and sent them to his royal
master.-Thomas e. Watson in THE
