USING X-RAY ON PRINCESS
Suspicious Of British Museums Off
Gals Regarding Egyptian Mummy
Are AIlayed.

A distinguished scientist attached to
one of the government bureaus at
Washington suggests that there may be
such a thing as using the X-rays too
much and too often, especially, he
contends, when the rays are made
the medium to pry into the antece-
dents of young woman of royal lin
cage, resting for the moment under
unjust suspicious.
Every one knows that spurious
mummies have been planned off upon
the public. Recently doubt arose
in a London museum as to the validity
of one daughter of the Pharaohs in
the collection. 1t occurred to the
museum officials that, in view of the
general hollowness of life, the young
woman in question might have been
manufactured in some up-to-date town.
So the officials at once turned the Ro-
entgen rays upon her, with the re-
suit that they Immediately perceived
through her many-folded wraps the am
ulets which the Egyptians placed upon
the bosoms of their dead. So the sus-
picions of the museum officials were
allayed. One of them remarked: at
does seem a little hard that after the
lapse Of several thousands of years
a lady should be suspected of impos-
ture."

Great slnner,s Generosity.

Among the stories told by Arthur
Pougin of Malibran, the great singer,
is one of her stay in Venice. She was
to give six performances at one thea
ter there, when Gallo, the director OF
the Teatro Emeronito, being on the
eve of bankruptcy, begged her to give
two at his theater, promising her
e120 for each. She consented, but
when Gallo went to take her the sec
ond payment. he entered saying:
Here is the sum we agreed on"
''What sum-" she replied with an air
of surprise. ooh. the e12o for yester-
days performance" 81 don't want
your money. Take 1t all away and
spend it on your children. You shall
kiss me and we'll be quits" Did the
good fellow believe his ears? His two
performances had brought him in
e40O in round figures, had saved him
from bankruptcy, and to crown his
joy, he kissed Nine. Malibran. This
magnanimity to poor Venetian was
received publicly by a frantic ovation,
and crystalized in verse, while the
theater was renamed Malibran.

Very Ancient Sword.

"Some of the Arabs have two

Of anything in this world. After one
of the British campaigns in Egypt an
officer brought back as trophy such a

OFFER SHEEP IN SACRIFICE
Animals Killed at Steps of Palace In
Constantinople on Feast Of
Bairam.

The idea of animal sacrifice seems
strange in modern Europe But 1t must
not be forgotten that Constantinople
is Turkish, in spite of the numerous
desires on the part of other nations
to possess it-or rather because those
are so numerous.
The new regime in Turkey is up
to date in many things. 1t is establish
ing schools, planning railroads and
hoping to take it's place by right, and
not by suffrance, among the nations OF
the world. But the favor Of the devout
Mussulman is sought by strict observ-
ance of religious festivals.
The second feast of Bariam is the
occasion of sacrifice. Its date is varia-
BILE, since the Turkish year is lunar,
and not solar. Last year came in
December and 1t lasts four days.
In anticipation of this festival,
droves of fat sheep were taken to
the city from Roumelia and Asia
Minor The price varied from
81 to SIS. In all the rich and even
wellto-do houses these sheep were sac
rificed, and the flesh in most cases
given to the poor.
Naturally the most elaborate cere-
many was at the royal palace of Dol
ma Bagtche. The sheep, picked for
their Wilderness and plumpness, were
solemnly led to the palace. At the
hour fixed the sultan, surrounded by
his staff, descended the steps and read
a prayer, while the first Of the victims
was led to the marble step that be-
came the sacrifical altar.
The sultan made the motions Of
killing the sheep, but actually handed
the knife to an officer, who waited I'M
til the sultan had withdrawn before
completing the sacrifice.
In the last three years the custom
has grown up that the skins and wool
of all the sheep killed in Turkey that
day belong to the sailors.
One of the old rites of Bairam was
to consign all Christians to massacre.
This is now omitted in Constantinople.
But it can be imagined that in the
oasis Of Tripoli this part of the cere-
monies is carried out with emphasis.

BYRON HAD LITERARY AGENT
Authors Representative Not New In
Vention for the Torment of
Publishers.

Much has been written lately about
literary agents, as if they were new
invention of the Evil One for the tor

over Byron's letters the following one
shows clearly enough that the first
John Murray, who published for Bryon,
had to cope with authors representa-
tives just as the third and fourth
John Murrays do today-and, by the
way, John Murray w., who is an &C
tive and pleasing young man, is taking
more and more Of the burden of his
fathers business. Here is Byron's

An Early Insurance Scheme.

A very early scheme of insurance
for the laborer took heed of the wo-
man worker. In 1885 the leaping of
the poor rates gave birth to the pro-
posal of Universal Benefit Society"
Mr.. lakewood summarizes the scheme
in his Good Old Tines" every la.
borer between the ages of twenty and
thirty years." he notes, earning 10d
a day should contribute to national
fund I'd a week, and every woman
earning GS a year 115d weekly. and
when sick or disabled should receive
benefit at the rate of as a week, with
Is a week added for-each child. There
were, of course, many other details,
but the chief interest lies in the fact
that this was perhaps the earliest pro-
posal for the national insurance of the
laborer against invalidity."

MAKING MONEY WITH GAS
Up-to-Date Equipment Installed In
New Melting House of Brit
ish Mint.

Four tons of gold will on an aver
age be melted down each working day
in the wonderful new melting house
now being completed for service next
year at the royal mint, near the Tow
er of London.
The new melting house will be the
most complete in the world 1t is
much larger than the existing one,
and is to contain ten furnaces, all
heated by gas. The present melting
house has only four such furnaces.
Gas furnaces alone are now used at
the royal mint for the melting down
Of precious metal, coke furnaces hav-
ing been finally banished in March
last No less an amount than ESQ.,
100000 worth Of gold has been melted
down by gas since the special furnaces
were introduced.
Many experiments were carried out
before gas was accepted as the best
medium for the melting. In connec-
ton with the tests Mr.. Rigg, the super
intendent of the operative department,
paid a number of visits to factories
in London and the country and made
tour in Canada and the United
States with the object of obtaining
evidence as to the value of gas as a
fuel. At length a special type of fur
mace was designed by officials at the
mint, and gas burner made by Mr. s.
N. Brayshow, Of Manchester, was
adopted.
Ordinary gas is taken from the
street main for the melting and mixed
with air from a powerful blowing en-
CINE. 1t is found that by the use of
gas the crucibles for the gold last long
er than they did when coke was en-
ployed, each crucible enduring eight
cen heatings under gas as against
twelve under coke. In addition, the
cost is less, having been reduced from
I'd. to Sd. for each hundred weight Of
gold melted.-London Mail.
