GARRICK'S MOBILE FACE.

Il Drove Sir Joshua Reynolds Into a
Fit of Temper.
This story Of an artists despair while
working on Garrick's portrait is often
printed, but it Is reproduced in David
Garrick and His French Friends" with
a footnote saying that the experience
was made the material for French
vaudeville sketch:
It was no easy task to transfer to the
canvas features so changeable. Gar
rick, as model, threw painters into
despair. Let us listen moment to
Northcote relating Sir Joshua Reynolds
experiences:
"When the artist had worked on the
face till he had drawn it very correct
", as he saw it at the time, Garrick
caught an opportunity. while the
painter was not looking at him, totally
To change his countenanea and expres-
sion, when the poor painter patiently
worked on to alter the picture and
make it like what he then saw. and
when Garrick perceived that it was
thus altered he seized another oppor-
tunity and changed his countenance to
q third character. which, when the poor
tantalized artist perceived. he. in a
great rage, threw down his palette and
pencils on the floor, saying he believed
he was painting from the devil and
would do no more to the picture"

DYNAMITE AS 1T EXPL0DES.
It Follows, as Lightning Does, the Line
of Least Resistance.

It Follows, as Lightning Does, the Limo
of Least Resistance.
1t is the popular impression that dy-
Mantle seeks the line of greatest re-
sistance. Place quantity of black
powder on a rock and light 1t with
fuse. 1t will fash. simply scorching the
stone. Place a piece Of dynamite ON
the same rock. and the rock will be
shattered; hence the reasoning that
dynamite follows the line of greatest
resistance.
Nothing could be further from the
truth, however The black powder
takes fire and explodes much more
slowly than the dynamite, SO that the
elastic air that incloses it. as it does
everything. gives way gradually and
the force is lost in the atmosphere.
With dynamite the explosion has been
so sudden. the attack on the air so In
stantaneous. that for a fraction OF a
second it actually resists. The force of
the dynamite is so tremendous that 1t
cannot wait. and it Is turned into the
rock. which for the instant becomes the
line of least resistance.
An illustration Of this may be seen
during display of lightning. A fork

lie air so densely that it can no longer

and it turns aside to follow the line of
least resistance 1t cannot wait for the
air to yield. 1t is the same with dyna-
mite. -Harper's Weekly.

LIQUID AIR.
The Way 1t Acts as Preservative OF

The Way It Acts as PreservatIve OF
Animal Matter.
1t is sometimes necessary to pre-
serve parts of q human body or OF

In such cases the preservative must

either structural or chemical; 1t must
not introduce any substance that
would III any way interfere with the
subsequent tests or give rise to false
conclusions. and it must be easily han
died.
Liquid air has been found to be
quite we'll adapted to this use. Its
low temperature about 400 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit prevents alb
solutely all putrefaction as well as all
other chemical change. At the same
time, it prevents the evaporation of
any volatile substance that may be
present such as carbon monoxide or
hydrocyanic acid gas. Experiments
have shown that the most delicate
tissues, such as glands and brain, are
quite unaffected by being placed In
liquid air for a long time, and the
tissues even retain their natural colors.
For the purpose of making chemical
tests in piece Of tissue 1t Is frequent
ly necessary to cut the material up
into very small pieces. Tissues that
have been preserved in liquid air are
frozen so hard that they may be

Suicide and the Weather.

Suicide is most frequent in summer,
when the air is clear and the sun
shines. In Europe the maximum Of
suicides is reached in June and the
minimum in December Yet there art
fewer suicides in the torrid than il
the temperate zone In the United
States. in all seasons, there are more
suicides on sunny days than on cloudy
days. Some theorists reason that fine
weather aggravates the mental depres-
sion Of the unhappy by its contrasting
sunshine In dark weather there are
few suicides and fewer in time Of
war or following some great catas-
trophe. During the first three months
that follow a devastating earthquake
there are fewer deaths by suicide than
before the cataclysm.-Harper's.

THREE SONGS.

They Will Live Above All Others In
the Man Who Heard Them.
The brilliant, faShionably clad audi
ence roared an ovation to the great
singer. She was unquestionably the
best soprano in the world. The critic
turned to his friend. the self made mil
lionaire. and said:
Did you ever hear any song more
exquisitely renderedT
Yes" said the rich man musingly,
for he was touched by the magic OF
what he had heard. Yes; | have
heard three greater singers"

critic
THE first was years ago. The singer

tired of body There was much work

AN OBLIGING JUDGE.

Creatino a Vacancy.

When the republic had been set UP
In France in 1913, wrote the Baroness
Bonde, the first attempts Of the en-
franchised people to use their new
powers resulted in the election of the
most miscellaneous assembly that had
ever tried to govern a country. A
member nominated from Rouen went
to Paris and selected his seat. He had
hardly taken it when his next neigh
Dor turned and stared at him. The
Rouen man. embarrassed, turned up
his coat collar, but too late.

Titbits of the Ancient Greeks.

AS delicacies the Greeks ate young
foxes caught in the autumn, robins
and sparrows and certain kinds of fish
shared by moonlight. There is a scrap
of an old Greek comedy in which a
cook boasts Of frying a fish so exqui-
sitely that it threw him grateful looks
from the pan. A famous Greek dish
was the Trojan pig, half of it boiled
and the other half roasted. 1t was
stuffed with eggs, ortolans and
thrushes. The Romans ate snails-
giant monsters-fattened until their
shells held an incredible amount of
snail. The kettle in a high class Ro-
man kitchen was often shaped like an
elephants head. The water was pour
ed through the trunk. The gridiron
might be huge silver spider or

The Aazal Tree
