A Boomerang.-A gentleman pos
sessing q valuable collection of birds
eggs consented to give short lecture
upon them to a provincial scientific
|s0ciety, and, on. the afternoon preced-
ing his address, arranged q number Of
specimens from his collection on a ta-
BILE in the meeting hall.
Some young members of the society,
thinking to have joke at the speak
er's expense, managed to conceal sew
eral carefully prepared dummies"
among those placed for exhibition.
A large audience gathered to listen
to the lecture, and when, after describ-
ing In most interesting fashion sever
al of the rare specimens, the lecturer
came to the dummies" there was a
slight litter from some few young fell
lows at the back Of the hall.
Suddenly they realized that they
were laughing too soon, for the speaker
took up one of the faxed eggs and
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me
to call your attention to the production
Iof a biped generally known as the
laughing jackass. These eggs are u.s.
ually found in tropical climes. but as
this specimen has been laid here since
my visit this afternoon, it Is only rea-
sonable to presume that one Of the
species has found his way into this
hall Let us see If it's owner will come
to look for 1t while the lecture Is con-
|tinued!"

WHY SALT MAKES ICE COLDER.
A Bit Of Household Science Not Al.
WAYS PROPERLY Explained.

Why salt makes ice colder some
times and warmer at others is thus
explained in the current issue of the
Housefurnishing Review:
Freezing ice cream is done by means
of a freezing mixture, ice and salt in
certain proportions. Any woman
knows that salt of itself is not cold,
and it seems strange that they should
salt with ice to produce cold. or a low
er temperature. A thermometer put
in a bowl of ice will register 80 or 80,
but mix salt with 1t and it may go
down to zero. Yet we put salt on ice
on the sidewalk to melt it where there
is an unsafe, slippery place.
We put this mixture of ice and salt
in a pail in which there is a revolving
cylinder holding the mixture to be
frozen. How is it frozen? BY taking
could not do that. Cold is negative;
it is the absence of heat. Temperature
seeks to equaliZe, but by the distri-
button of. heat, not of cold. So what
must happen is that the freezing mix
ture takes the heat from the cream
or material inside the cylinder in or
der to melt the ice that the salt may
dissolve in the water. If the heat can
more readily be taken up from the
outside atmosphere than from the ma
terial in the can, of course that Is what
will happen-From the New York
Times.

He Needed the Dietionary.-Frank-
lin Matthews represented newspaper
during the Russo japanese war, and
one day: succeeded in breaking through
that remarkable hedge Of news CEN
sorship and reaching Field Marshal
Oyama. The interview was brief but
extremely courteous, and the jubilant
correspondent hurried back to prepare
the story for his paper. In the course
Of II. he used this expression: Mar
shall Oyama Is a brick!"
The letter was duly passed along to
the Official translator, and presently
Captain Kanaka, Of the marshars per-
sonal stan, called upon the correspon-
dent.
Marshal Oyama presents his COM
pliments," said the captain suavely
''and regrets to inform the esteemed
correspondent that his honorable let
ter can not be forwarded as written
why, what's wrong with it?" cried
the amazed war scribe.
Captain Kanaka explained with po-
lite gravity.

Working in the Dark.-Secretary.
McVeagh at a dinner in Washington

urday afternoon, and had left 1t and
a cartridge which had misfired where
the little fellow could get hold of IT,
not supposing the cartridge to be dam
gerous. The children's mother was
in another room, leaving two little
girls, one of them sick in bed, together
with Clyde in the front room. When
the rifle was discharged the children
were the length Of the fireplace apart,
the ball striking the little girl In the
breast, missing the heart by half an
inch, and coming out at the back OF
her shoulder with enough force to
bury itself in the wall Of the room.
The many friends Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clack are shocked and grieved at the
tragedy, which so nearly resulted IA

child Is doing we'll and, that In the
absence of complications, she will be
none the worse for the accident. .....
Little Mary McFadden, aged 81 years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B.
of Landsford, was fatally
burned last Saturday morning about
s o'clock, dying two hours later. Mary
and a younger child were left In the
room, a fender having been securely
placed in front of the fire. and 1t is
supposed that she got a match from
the mantel by standing on a chair,
and that in striking it set fire to the
mantel scarf, which blazed up and
caught her dress. She was not heard
to scream, Mr.. McFadden's attention
being attracted by the crying of the
baby. On entering, he found the poor
little girl lying on the floor. uncon-
scious and frightfully burned, nearly
all her clothing having been consum-

What Arbitration Did.-Just back
from a trip to the ould dart, Owen
Murphy is responsible for this: A
Dublin man, a great admirer of An
drew Carnegie, came upon two youths
in a Dublin back street fighting. He
pushed through the crowd and per-
suaded the combatants to desist.
Let me beg of you, my good fel-
lows" earnestly besought the peace
maker, "to settle your dispute by ar
bitration. Each of you choose half a
dozen friends to arbitrate"
"Hurrah!" yelled the crowd. DO as
the gentleman ses. bhoys."
Having seen the twelve arbitrators
selected to the satisfaction of both
sides. the man of peace went on his
way rejoicing In the thought of having
once again prevailed upon brute force
to yield to peaceful agreement. Hair
an hour later he returned that way
and was horrified to find the whole
street fighting, while in the distance
police whistles could be heard blow
ing and constables seen rushing to the
spot from all quarters.
Good gracious! What Is the matter
now?" asked the peacemaker.
Sure, sorr," was the reply. they're
trating!"-Exchange.

work leaves out the very ingredients
which should make the tint sufficiently
sensitive.
The best security against alterations
of all kinds would be found in the pa
per itself upon which the document Is
written. The great value Of the dis
tinctive paper lies in the fact that the
user of such paper when once he is fa-
miliar with it's distinctive character,
can thereafter be assured that he Is
getting the real article and not mere
ly Autographed check which can be
altered without removing the back
ground.
At the great central banks of Eu-
rope the distinctive paper for bank
notes is usually manufactured under
the direct supervision of the bank.
Less efficient safeguards in many
cases are employed for checks. In the
United States the distinctive paper
for bank notes and paper money Is
made, under a careful system of
counting and checking, in Massa-
chusetts paper mill.
The first use Of safety paper for
checks, which involves quite different
factors from bank-note paper, dates
back about half a century. Since 1871
1t has been manufactured on a COM
mercial scale by means Of secret
process which has been very carefully
guarded. This paper Is so made that
during the process Of manufacture
there is combined with the white body
of the paper q chemical tint, ornament
ed with a distinctive design which is
conspicuously visible upon the surface
Of the paper.
This provides at once the requisite
of distinctiveness, at the same time
that the paper Is sensitive to every at
tempt Of alteration. The ornamental
tint turns to white under either acid
or mechanical erasure, and IT. Is of
such a sensitive character that after
being once removed 1t cannot be re-
stored by any known process.
The properties Of the new form are
such that the original writing can
be altered without 80 changing the
color of the paper as to make the for
gerry. apparent, and in the few cases
of attempted fraud which arose the
alteration was easily detected.--Bank-
ers' Magazine.

THINK TOO MUCH OF MONEY
Many Persons Lose Chance Of Happy
Marriage by Exaggeratlng tho
Value of Wealth.

Scores Of people lose their chances
of being happily married through max
Ing an unnecessary obstacle of mon
ey. The Importance of 1t is often ex-
aggerated. Many man hesitates to
propose to girl because OF his small
income. Very often much misery, mis-
understanding, and tangled lives result
from the silence. More unfortunate
love affairs are the result OF what has
not been said than Of spoken words.
When man has small, sure In
come, and a prospect of increase.
there is no legitimate reason for his
not speaking of his love; no reason,
for that matter, to prevent marriage.
People are SO desperately afraid,
though, Of beginning married life in
small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to make
-of the criticism to which they will
be subjected. Many years of happi-
ness are lost in this way. 1t is such
4 mistake for young people to want to
start marriage In the state that their
parents are ending 1t.
To delay marriage until a "comfor
table" income is available is to prove
something lacking III the loye,--An

in Country Life in America this new
variety is going to revolutionize or
ange growing throughout that part of
the country. 1t is declared that the
fruit has been known to hang on the
tree for one, two, or even three years,
and that the tree bears well even
when 1t is still carrying the crop Of
the previous year. This is not true OF
most other varieties. 1t Is also said
that the fruit can be shipped as early
as June, although 1t is still too acid
then. 1t is good in July, but better In
August and September "The fruit is
full of juice" says the quoted writer,
"and hangs on the trees through the
rainy summer weather. 1t can there
fore be placed on the market when
oranges are scarce and the highest
prices can be secured"

rhe cabman and the eIshop.

1t is not often that cabman has
any chance of influencing ecclesiastical
appointments. but DR.. Browne points
to such an occasion When he was

when the driver said: That's an un-
common nice young man you've sent
to take charge Of the church in --

to put him In bigger Job he'll do 1t

find and did use an opportunity to put
the clergyman into better Job, and
the cabmans words were justified, for
he did 1t very well indeed. Moreover.

Sea rakes roll Of Ena!Ish land.

With a noise like the booming of
heavy guns, hundreds of thousands of
tons OF cliff fell into the sea between
Dover and Folkestone (England) re-
Gently. The fall, which occurred at
Abbots Cliff, was the most extensive
which has taken place on that part of
the coast for many years. An examina-
ton showed the chalk extending like
a causeway some 400 yards to the sea.
1t was about 200 yards wide, and at
some places 30 feet deep. The dis
placement Of water caused by this
immense mass entering the sea set up
conditions similar to a tidal wave at
Folkestone. The water rose several
feet, colliers broke their cables and
got adrift, and fishing-smacks danced
like corks. The noise of the approach
ing wave was heard mile away.

one knows, Is at the north of Holland
and covers an area of $4,000 hectares,
hectare being practically two acres
and half.
Just half century ago scheme to

be introduced into the chamber The
promoters see that with an increased
population means must be taken to
