WAS FEELING WRONG BUMP
sagacious Phrenologist Mistaken in His Conclusion, as It
 Turned Out.

The learned professor was giving his public lecture on phrenology. and for purposes of demonstration he in- vited a boy to the platform, says the New York American. After criti- cal examination of the lads cranium, he turned to the audience:
 Ladies and gentlemen" he said, 'the protuberance on this little boys head is remarkably well developed. It Is the bump of philoprogenitiveness. In the present case it proves that the boy has an extraordinary love for his parents, Addressing the boy) Isn't that true, Johnny?"
 Johnny hesitated a moment, then said:
 Well. l get along pretty well with the old lady. but the old man ain't such much
 Why, how is that, my boy?" asked the professor.
 Well, if yuh want me ter let it out, the bump yer blowin' about is where pop hit me yesterday wit a belt buckle.'

The cIepsydra of Canton.

One of the most extraordinary clocks in the world Is the clepsydra, or water clock, of Canton, in China. This time-teller Is housed in temple on the city walls and Is sight no traveller to the Chinese city ever fails to take in.
 In hall called the Temple of Time" are four big earthen jars plac- ed upon shelves. The fourth and low est one has a wooden cover. This, together with the others, constitutes the whole clepsydra.
 The water descends by slow drops from one jar to another the brass scale on float in the last crock tell ing the hours as 1t rises. It is said that during every afternoon since the year 1921 A. D. the lowest jar has been emptied, the upper one filled, and the clock thus wound up" for another day.
 Boards with the number of the hour are displayed on the outside wall, in order that all passers-by may know the time.

CANDLES THAT NEVER GO OUT
In the Tomb of Russia's Czar Papers Burn Constantly at Head and
 Foot of Coffin.

In the vault in the Fortress Cathe- dral of St Peter and St Paul in St. Petersburg, the place of burial of the czars, two great candles are always kept burning, one at the head and the other at the foot of the coffin of the czar last buried.
 These candles. which are replaced immediately they are burned down. have been kept burning constantly since the burial of Alexander II. in 1881, at the head and foot of his omb and were transferred in 1904 to he head and foot of the next czar to lie There they will remain until an- ,ther emperor dies and is buried.

literary Blunders-

Some of the literary blunders quoted by the Journal dus Debats are quite delightful. Thus Balzac in his Cousin Pons" refers to a fan, the divine masterpiece ordered from Vatican for Mme de Pompadour., who was only born in the year of the painters death. He also describes a midnight mass celebrated in the evening. Alphonse Daudet is no less careless, his outstanding lapse being perhaps in "Tartarin," wherein he presents the astonished reader with four thousand Arabs, laughing like madmen, and displaying six hundred thousand white teeth in the sunshine" Champfeury in his "Amoureux de Saint-Perine" describes a phenomenon unknown to scientists in the shape of a poisoned electric wire" while Oc, tave Feuillet in "ssybille'' gravely re corded the existence of two twins, both aged eighteen"

Veuetable Fiber for Shoes

A Haverhill (Mass) shoeman has obtained patents giving him the right to make yamps and tops of vegetable fiber which he has invented and per fected to be used in the manufacture of shoes. A few cases of shoes have been made of this material, which ap- pears to be good substitute for leather. The fiber is said to be par ticularly adaptable for warm weather wear because, being of a woven ma terial air can penetrate the vamp and top. The inventor also claims that a shoe made of this material is water proof

DETECTIVE DALToN's STORY.

q had the very great pleasure" said Detective Dalton, "of running down about the last of the important red-pepper sneaks.
 q saw the two messengers about three hours after the robbery. They were in terrible condition. Their minds were in such shape that they gave me half dozen different yer sions of the way the robbery hap pened, and as many descriptions of the thieves. I could sympathize with them, and knew that it would be hours, perhaps days, before they would have sufficient control of their senses to tell an intelligent. story. About the only thing which they agreed upon in their delirious rawlings was that there were two thieves.
 Knowing that it Is customary for thieves before carrying out robbery of this kind to study the situation carefully and lay plans for the at tack and escape, I hunted all over the neighborhood of the bank to find some one, if possible, who had seen any suspicious-looking persons I only learned enough to confuse me, as so many people had seen men who might have been the thieves. If all their stories were accepted there probably were one hundred crooks in lower Broadway several days before the robbery. It is remarkable how little evidence can be picked up about an occurrence which, in the natural order of things, ought to have been seen by at least fifty men, The rob bery occurred in broad daylight at an hour when the street is most crowd ed Yet after a long search I only found one person, who had seen any thing which might be of value. I ran across a street vender who must have been within twenty-five feet of the messengers when they were attacked.
 He did not see the assault, but a second later, and before he under stood what had happened, he saw two men, very well dressed, hurry across Broadway and turn down Ce- dar street toward the North river That was the natural course which thieves who knew their business would have taken. The vender had pretty fair idea of the appearance of the two men and their clothing With that as guide I went through Cedar street. I traced the men to West street by witnesses who had noticed them moving quickly as if they were In hurry to catch a train. but lost track of them in West street until I reached the Liberty street ferry Then I picked up the very clue I was after
 "The ticket agent had seen the men, and his attention was attracted to them particularly because in buy ing ticket for Scranton one of them took some money out of bag. This
