It is said, not the surprise the High
landers expected 1t TO be, the eminent
statesman remarking that a similar
instrument is used in the south OF Rus
sia. observes the Westminster Ca
zette. OF late musical antiquaries
have been looking outside Scotland
for the birthplace of the bagpipe, and
Maj. F. w. Won Herbert, a recognized
authority on musical instruments, an
cient and modern, has placed it some
where in the vast territory once ruled
by the Seljuks, the ancestors Of the
modern Turks. On the authority of
Sir Alexander Mackenzie. the princi-
pal Of the r. A. NJ, the fiddle is Scot
lands national instrument, and as a

MIIIlena Of Electric LIahts.

In Manhcttan there is an electric
light for each inhabitant of the city,
but. taking the city as a whole, this
average would be considerably reduc-
ed. as, for instance. the borough OF
Brooklyn has but one thousand. The
other boroughs which go to make up
the city would show a lower figure.
Some of the other cities of this coun-
try may have a percentage almost, If
not as great In Denver, for instance,
the use of electric signs and lights for
illuminating and decorative purposes
has become so general that some OF
its business men are advertising 1t as
the Electric City. One building in
that city is outlined outside with

Natures ElrsIeas Cookers.

Maori housewives of New Zealand
have discovered, like their more civil
lied sisters, the value of the f1reless
cookers as labor saver, but their cook
ers have neither to be made nor or
dered. Nature furnishes them In mex
haustible supply, for they are nothing
more nor less than the small geysers
of the region. Using box, basket,
or bag, depending on what they are
cooking. the women sink the recepta-
Gle in the moist mud over a steam
hole, which makes an admirable oven.
They not only cook their meals, but do
their washing in these baby volcanoes.

Two Danish inventors have found Z
way to put out oil fires BY applying
carbonic acid that is toaming Violent
~. The foam is produced by q mix
ture OF two liquids. and Il is said that
when II is thrown on burning sub
stances. such as OILS. benzine and tar.
It spreads rapidly over the surface
and puts out the flames By cutting
on the ar. Many tanks that contain
oil or other highly infammable liquids
are now permanently fitted with per
forated pipes. through which the foam
ing mixture can be applied directly to
the surface Of the burning material
Hitherto, fires in oiItanks have been
allowed to burn themselves out. or
the contents have been drawn out
from below. and wasted. According
to Chambers journal. many private
and government institutions have
adopted the new system.-Youth'a

Peculiar VIennese Tax.

The more pretentious apartment
houses in Vienna have a curious i'm
post levied upon them. The doors
are closed at ten o'clock at night.
and after that hour every one who
goes or comes must pay 20 cents un-
til midnight and 40 cents thereafter
until six o'clock in the morning. The
impost must be paid as many times
as a man enters or leaves a house.
II. for instance. a person is in the
house of friend until one o'clock
he must pay 40 cents on leaving the
friends house and another 40 cents
on entering his own. The money
thus raised is devoted to protecting
citizens against burglars.-Harper's
