Swain was shot in the head, and his

a Fish Aids Science.

There appears to be no limit to sci
sntific curiosity, especially in Ger
many. Not long ago a scientist Of
Leipzig, wishing to ascertain whether
fish are warmer than the water they
live in, stuck a needle connected with
a thermOelectric circuit into a living
fish in an aquarium. The needle formed
one element of the circuit, while the
other element was immersed in the
same water that contained the fish.
The latter was not seriously injured by
the needle and quickly became indif-
ferent to it. Then as the fish swan
about carrying the needle, the ingen-
ious savant closed the circuit and kept
watch of the galvanOmeteT. 1t show
ed no DETECTION whatever. from which
he concluded that the fish and the
water were precisely equal in tempera-
ture. for had either been warmer than
the other a current would have been
generated in the circuit.-Chicag Rec

MISSED THE KANGAROO.
The Hunter Was After Meat, but Got
instead a Stone.

The Hunter Was After Meat, but Got
instead Stone.
In 1889 a hunter in New South
Wales took d fancy for some kangaroo
meat, so he made a trip through the
mulga with no companion but his gun.
He had no need OF either guides or
dogs, as he was an experienced bush
man.
The first kangaroo sighted was
wounded by him, but not badly
enough to disable it. Before he could
get in another shot it made OFF through
the salt bush at a terrific pace, but
leaving a plain trail in drops Of blood,
so the hunter followed as fast as he
could.
The trail gradually grew fainter as
the wounded animal bleG less freely,
and fits pursuer was often obliged to
stOOp and examine the ground closely
for the telItale signs. After several
hundred yards had been covered with
out seeing any more crimson spots the
hunter began to think his quarry had
escaped. when he saw a single fieck
Of red before him.
As he bent to look for more fieCks
the red changed to an iridescent pale
green, and he saw It was a gem stone
that lay before him. The kangaroo
was not bagged, but the White Cliffs
opal fields were discOvered.-New York

The Furtive Look.

Here is something worth while for
bachelors to consider.
A Boston woman says she can detect
a bachelor as far as she can see him.
She always knows a bachelor by his
furtive look The fUTtive look, she ex-
plains, is something akin to that OF a
hunted animal. always on the watch
for snares and pitfalls. OF course this
may apply only to Boston bachelors,
but it would be well for all other sin
gle unfortunates to take a good look
at themselves in the mirror and find
that telltale look. If they do there Is
an easy way to efface it.-Cleveland

FIRST AID IN FAINTING.
One Should Lower the Head to Let the
Blood Back to the
Brain.

Painting is a loss of consciousness
due to the diminution Of blood supply
% the brain. 1t occurs most frequent
Iy In weak, sensitive women, but may
occur also to men as we'll. 1t usually
occurs in crowds or in crowded halls,
theaters and churches, where the at
mosphere is close and the air foul
Painting usually lasts only a few
minutes, and the person RECEIVERS i'm
mediately when taken out into the
fresh air, but there are cases in which
II lasts much longer, sometimes for an
hour or more. The first aid treatment
Of fainting is usually very simple.
Take the person out into the fresh
afr and lay him fat on the back, with
the head lower than the feet
This can be done by grasping the
feet and holding the body so that the
head hangs down, OF take an ordinary
straight back chair, turn it over so
that the back forms an angle with the
floor and place the person on the back
OF the chair with the head hanging
down. This position with the head
hanging down favOrs the flow of the
blood back to the brain.
All tight clothing about the neck and
waist should be lOOsened. Smelling
salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia
applied to the nostrils and cold water
sprinkled on the face chest and hands
help to restore consciOusness.-Nati

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
haaHy Changes In Its Design Since IL

haaRy Changes In Its Design Since IL
Was First Issued.
The silver dollar has undergone
great many changes since it was put
In circulation in 1894. On the face of
the first dollar there was stamped the
head OF a young woman turned to the
right and with hair flowing, as if she
was in a gale OF wind. But in 1876
congress came to her relief and ordered
her hair to be tied up with a bit Of
ribbon. The fifteen stars which ap-
peared on the first dollar were after
Ehis reduced to the original thirteen In
recognition OF the number Of states.
In 1886 the design was again chang
ed. and the dollar bore the figure Of a
woman dressed in a flowing garment
The designer forgot, however, to put
In the thirteen stars, and the coin was
soon called in, the new design having
the woman surrounded by stars. Her
air was defiant and stiff looking, and
IN 1893 dollars were issued which were
more artistic in treatment. The first
dollars bearing the motto, in God We
Trust" were coined in April, 1864 and
in 1873 the era of the trade dollar be-
gan, lasting just five years.
The Liberty dollar made its appear

VARIED HIS VIEWS.

Farmer Gordon was engaged for a
fortnight to drive a political candidate
about the county in his buggy. They
travelled by day, each town being a

The man was honest and well mean

tried the temper of each community
in advance and reported to him with
suggestions. So it happened that from
his extreme anxiety to please his ex-
pressed conviction on the issue varied
considerably from time to time.
"WelI, Mr. Gordon" said the candi-
date one day at the beginning Of the
second week. how do you stand on
the election? How are you going TO
vote?"
