For years electrolysis has been the
friend of man. and until now it has
been his servant. Just now 1t seems
to be his master and has passed from
his control. The brightest minds in
the electrical world are graphing
with the problem of protection OF
our steel buildings and bridges from
the insidious attacks of this subtle
enemy-the result OF the almost uni

railroads and power utilities.
A stray electric current having

Has Remarkable History That Will
Strike the Reader as Being Typl-
cally Russian.

The Kamaoulie Koloko, or Bell
With the Ear Torn Off," had a most
romantic history. In the sixteenth
century Prince Dimitri, the rlghtful
heir to the Russian throne, was de-
nosed by a revolt led by Boris Godun
off who was afterward proclaimed
The seat Of government vas
then at Uglich and thither Dimitri was
sent. in order that he might remain
under the direct observation OF the
usurper.
Boris, fearing that the populace
might awake to the justice of the
claims of the young prince, planned
the assassination Of Dimitri. He a
one day stabbed in a courtyard. None
of the bystanders showed any DISPOSE
ton to aid him. A priest, however,
from the cathedral belfry, saw the
crime and Immediately began tolling

and rung only on unusual occasions,

The Bitter Fruit

Fortune had a hearty contempt for
persons who ate their breakfast In
bed. For her the glory Of the day was
the fresh fairness Of the morning,
when every ones step was buoyant,
and all life stirred energetically. There
was cheer and hope everywhere; men
faced their labors with clear eye and
feared nothing; women sang at their
work. 1t vas only at the close of day
that despair and defeat stalked the
highways. So she was up with the
sun, whether In her own garden or IN
these odd and mystical cities. Thus
she saw the native as he was, not as
he later in the day pretended to be,
for the benefit of the Feringhi about
to be stretched upon the sacrifcial
stone. She saw, with gladness, the
h%oney-bee Thrilling the rose, the plow-
mans share barring the soil; the morn
ing, the morning, the two or three
hours that were all, all her own. Her
mother was always irritable and petu-
liant in the morning, and her uncle
never developed the gift Of speech till
after luncheon.
She had the same love Of prowling
that lured Ryanne from the beaten
paths. She was not inquisitive but
curious, and that ready disarming
smile of hers opened many a portal.
She was balancing upon her gloved
palm, thoughtfully, a Soudanese head
trinket, a pendant of twisted gold
wires, flawed emeralds and second
pearls, really exquisite and not gen.
orally to be found outside the eXpen-
sive shops in the European quarters,
and there infrequently. The merchant
wanted twenty pounds for it. Fortune
shook her head, regretfully. 1t was
far beyond her means. She sighed.
Only once in a great while she saw
something for which her whole heart
cried out. This pendant was one of
these.
81 will give you five pounds for it.
That Is all have with me-"
"Salaam, madame" said the jeweler,
reaching for the pendant.
IF you will send it to the Hotel Sc
miramis this afternoon . :" But
she faltered at the sight Of the mer-
chants incredulous smile.
iii give you ten for 1t; not a pias-
tire more. l can get n like 1t In the

DESTROYING Weeds In Ponds.

Copper sulphate is often used for
destroying the scum-like weeds in
ponds. But precautions must be ia.
ken, for unless the right proportion Of
sulphate is used any fish which may
be in the pond will be injured. The
proportion of copper sulphate used In
the ponds at Kew Gardens is one part
to from 100000 to 1000. 900 parts OF
water. Sulphate Of copper in a pun.
verified state is placed in a porous bag
and dragged through the water until
dissolved. The water in st. James's
Park, London, it might be mentioned,
has for two summers been kept free
from scum by this method.-London

Bell of Tragic Memories

such as at a coronation or the death of
a car.
Furious at this tacit expression Of
reproach, the car commanded that the
priest should be tortured and executed
and that the bell should be taken down
and placed beside the body Of its
ringer. This order was fulfilled, and
the bell was beaten with clubs by, the
entire populace, the Gear Boris being
at their head.
The "a then decreed that the bell
should be exiled to Tobolsk and that
one Of it's hangers be removed to in
