Curious Power of Charcoal.

1t has been found that the power of
charcoal to absorb gases Is vastly In.
creased at very low temperatures, so
that 1t can be employed for exhaust
ing incandescent lamp bulbs and
Crookes tubes and also for separating
mixed gases. Experiment has shown
that at the freezing point of water and
at normal atmospheric pressure one
gram of charcoal absorbs four cubic
centimeters of hydrogen and eighteen
cubic centimeters Of oxygen, but that
at 1872 degrees centgrade, the temper
allure Of boiling air, one gram Of char
coal absorbs 1875 cubic centimeters Of
hydrogen and $50 cubic centimeters of
oxygen. When several gases are mix
ed the charcoal absorbs some Of them
much more freely than others, so that
by multiplying the operation gases
can be separated from mixtures in suf-
fcient quantity for Industrial uses

Experiments That Seem to Prove the
Insects Have Memory.
Experiments are continually being
made to test the memory Of animals
such as the elephant. the dog. the bull
but 1t would seem a thankless under
taking to ascertain whether the ant has
memory. Nevertheless a scientist In
South America thinks he has succeed
ed.
Isolating two Of the largest speci'
mems of tropical ants he could find, be
so arranged their receptacle that they
could get no food without climbing
over a circular slant into another com.
partment. Over this slant when the
food was not there he placed crimson
cord. and the ants very soon learned to
interpret the signal and never attempt
ed to climb over IT,
Thinking after time that there
might be something in the color that
repealed them automatically. as the
bull Is affected unplcasantly by red. re
replaced the red cord by cords of vary
ing colors, ways with the same result
after the is had made few excur'
sions over the slant and come back
hungry. Then he tried plain cloth ard
even paper. but the result was invari-
ably the same After a number Of
trials the ants refused TO climb the
slant when there was any sort Of 'sig-
nal"
Finally the scientist reversed the sig
nal, having food beyond the slant only
when 1t was visible, and after an inf
mite number Of trials the ants accom-.
modated themselves to the change

burglar is under our bed. Run; fetch

minute with a policeman. and the man
was arrested. The burglar when
brought up before the magistrate re.
marked that he had come across a few
brave women in his time, but this one
must have had nerve like iron. for
she sat there for three solid hours. He
had the impression that she didn't

KILLED WITH A CLUB
UntimeIy Fate of Two Monarchs
of the Jungle.
Brave Siamese Woman Saved Her
Husbands Life After He Had Been
Carried Off-SIaughter of
Predatory "Calf."

A wooden club is not q weapon to
recommend for hunting tigers; usually
you need all the firearms that you can
take along. However, a correspondent
who has lived in Siam recalls some in
terestlng instances in which Master
Stripes fell before attacks with a
club, which succeeded through their
mere daring and unexpectedness-a
the good luck that attended them.
In the province of Nam, in the
northern part of Siam, a villager and
his wife were gathering wood one
afternoon in the jungle. Suddenly a
tiger leaped on the man, seized him by
the ankle, threw him over it's back,
and made for the woods. The wife,
mad with grief and excitement, fol
lowed. After going perhaps two hun
dred yards the tiger stopped, dropped
it's victim and began to play with him
precisely as a cat plays with
mouse
The woman, armed only with a
stout bamboo club, stole up behind the
beast and smote it on the neck. By
great good luck she broke two of the
vertebrae and killed the animal Then
she dragged her senseless husband
back to their hut and called the
neighbOrs. The man, although badly
mauled finally recovered In token OF
admiration for the woman's bravery.
the Chao Phya or governor of the
province, gave her a life pension and
a silver medal
A somewhat similar incident once
came under my own observation. At
place called Anghin, about forty
miles south of Bangkok, a Chinese
and his wife cultivated a small sugar
cane plantation. The man had been
greatly annoyed by having his cane
eaten by his neighbor's buffalo calves
Coming home one evening just at
dark, he saw what he thought was one
of the marauders at work on the cane
Stealing silently up behind it, he
struck it mighty blow with a heavy
club The animal dropped without a
sound. The Chinese told his wife
what he had done, and added: THAT
calf will steal no more of my cane"
In the morning he found that the
calf was full grown tiger; he had
killed it by breaking it's neck just as
the woman Of Nam had done And
John was so much impressed with
his own narrow escape that he took
to his bed and was sick for a week.
