Worried High Official.

Custody of the great seal Is one
Of the most important duties under
taken by the British lord chancellor
in return for his $4,000 year. This
responsibility gave Lord Brougham an
unhappy time during his tenure Of
the chancellorship. When staying
with the duke of Bedford, in Scotland,
some Of the women in the house
amused themselves by abstracting the
seal from Brougham's room. The
chancellor was SO frantic when he
discovered the loss that his tormen-
tors promised to restore it on condi-
tions. So they blindfolded him, hid
the seal in the drawing room, and
told him to find it, guiding him in his
search by tune on the piano, which
grew louder when he drew near it
and softer when he drew away. Af-
ter an hours scrambling the seal
was found in a tea caddy.

and started for home.

Mind-Readinu,

A young mln and his wife, accom-.
panied by their two children, a boy
and a girl, entered a street car and
sat down on one Of the side seats.
The girl was beauty, while the little
boy, with strongly marked features
and freckled skin, was quite the OPP

Directly across the aisle sat two
ladies, evidently mother and daugh-
ter. The younger of the two looked
critically at the children. Then she
scrutinized tie parents. Then she
turned to the elder lady, smiled, and
made a whispered remark. The young
man, who had been watching her,

Protection During Fogs.

Two brothers named Hodgkinson
have invented an apparatus which
acting as "ears" for q ship will afford
8 protection now lacking in time of

claims made for this invention, that
it will definitely determine the direc-
ton of sounds. The invention consists
of drum nine feet long by five feet
in diameter set up aloft so as to miss

Early Pneumatic Tires.

It has been discovered recently that
as early as 1847 efforts were made to

time patent was granted by the
patent oface Of the United States to
an Englishman, whose invention COW

which was maintained in a distended
position by means Of air under press

means of springs, were also contem.

his invention he called particular at
tention to the fact that vehicle thus
equipped was propelled with greatly
