HUMAN BODY AS AN
 ELECTRIC DYNAMO
Man Uses 2H KilOwatt Hours of Elec- trical Energy in Work
 ing Day
From Popular Mechanics.

T rom GopulHr hecndn1cS.
 One does not fancy the human body as an electric dynamo, but if the heat and muscular energy expended by an average man of sedentary habits were converted into electrical units, he would md himself in possession of quite a valuable asset. It is proved that a man uses up about two and one-half kilo- watt hours of electrical energy in n working day. Approximately one-half of this amount is used to keep the tenn perature of the body constant, while the other half Is expended in muscular energy
 This amount of electricity may not seem great, but when one considers the things that can be done when it Is efficiently applied. the power of the human body is more clearly seen. Two and one-half lSilowatt hours of cleo trical energy N sufficient to maintain four 25-watt tungsten lamps of twen- ty candlepower each for twenty-five hours; or heat an electric fatiron for six hours: run a sewing machine motor for 100 hours heat an electric toaster for four hours an electric heater for two hours; an electric curling iron for 100 hours run a largo fan for thirty two hours, or warm chafing dish for six hours.
 All this is accomplished without val untary effort, and merely comes in the course of the days work, and does not represent the energy of a laboring man. It is an astounding revelation of the efficiency and endurance of the human machine.
 Now when one sees a fat man toll ing along on hot day. he can realize that electrical energy is being gener- ated and think of the many things to which it might be applied. But if the fat man were aware of his own ability as an electric dynamo he would ar dently wish that it could be used to run large fan that would give him relief from the heat of the city pave n1ent

ert Craxton, a deliciously unexpected continuation of the pun? The subject of dancing by the way, was not exhaust ed by the Levisons, for, you remember WalsiNgham Hely was "a most amiable agile and excellent partner" and made Charlotte Baynes very happy at ball.
 ThaclSeray never openly ridicules his characters by their names: the pun IS always s.b rosa, as 1t were. The crlnging chaplain Is Tuition Hunt, not Tufthunter, as Trollope would have called him; a couple of heavy drink CTS tthose friends of Dr. Firmin who proposed Philip at the Megatherium club are yelled as Lord Bottley and Baron Bumpsher-please notice the delicate hint conveyed in the fuddled last syllable of the baron's name.
 One is not surprised that Frank Berry married Angelica Catacomb- whichever name was first conceived made the other inevitable; but it Is rather well done to call Angelica's father. Sir George Catacomb, apothe cary to his majesty George IT. You see he very naturally buried his royal patient This way of carrying on pun to a quite unlocked for and hilar- ious finish is distinctly Thackerayan. Bob Cullender, for instance, is unob- strusive; his country place, Sievely Hall, is amusing. and the further in- formation that he ran through f7000 a year before he was 30 years old'' sends me. for one. into shrieks of laughter.

RUSSIAN ANIMALS
 KILLED FOR FURS
Twenty Million Pelts Bring Five Million Dollars
 Annually

St. Petersburg Cor. the St. Louis Times.
 The toll of fur animals annually killed or trapped throughout the Russian em- pire averages 100000, of which squirrels provide 1o,0o0,0 ,0o0, hare (generally mis- named rabbits) 5000, 900 and marmots 1000, 600. Sable and baummartin have sadly di- unfinished A few years ago as many as 10000 of each were collected. The Irbit record of 1910 showed decline of 90 per cent. The other Mustelidae and weaseis average. <olinsky 100000; ermine, 300,oo0; mink 250o; otter 5000; wolverine, 2OO0; fitch (polecaD, SO0,0o0; red fox. 3OO,W0; cross fox, s0,000; blue fox, 40oO0; bears, 1000; wolves, 15,oO0; badgers, 5000; mus sluash. 2000o and lynx, 4000.
 Nearly all the sable is trapped by Si- berian natives or by Chinese or Corean hunters. One small district in the Amur region Is Known to contain 172o00 sable traps. It is proposed to enact a three years close season for sable, but in view of the above figures and of the remoteness of the district where the animal is still to ADe found there is some doublt whether the law will be observed or can be enforced
 Russia's fauna yields a very substan- tial annual increment, exceeding $5,0Oo,0o0. To the revenue from furs must be added the valuable trade in lambskins, the best of which come from Bokhars Attempts .nade to raise valuable fur animals in captivity in Siberia have yielded fairly satisfactory results. The rapid exhaustion of the supply of sables and the rarer foxes and the enormous rise In prices in recent years will no doubt lead to a fur ther development of fur farms The blue tox thrives in the Commander islands, practically in a state of captivity. There '5s talk of creating vast natural preserve for sable and silver fox on the borders Of Siberia and Mongolia.
 Siberia enjoys a monopoly of all the more valuable sables and of the humber but useful squirrel, yet these and most of Russia's other furs are cured and dressed in London or Germany. Since 1613 the Siberian fur trade has been concentrated at Irbit, a small town beyond the Urals not far from Ekaterinburg, which owes it's importance exclusively to the annual fair held from the end of January to the be- ginning of March By far the greater part of the annual take of Sibera furs has been brought thither at the beginning of each year. About 60 per cent of the sales are transacted for the foreign markets chiefly London and Leipzig. The unsold Slots go afterwards to Nizhni Novgorod and Moscow, where they also mostly reach foreign buyers.
 Owing to the diminishing supplies of gable. prices ruled very high in 1911. Bar gouzin sable was dealt in at $iS5 to s195 apiece, which is 30 per cent higher than in 1909. Mongolian sable brought about SzS. 70 apiece. The price for ermine varied between sl.22 and $l.52 a skin. Fox was little in demand, The Kamtchatka fox sold at $10. 70 and the YaSutsk variety at from 8 to ss.75 skin; Mongoian

The Plain Mans Morning

Arnold Bennett in the Metropolitan. The plain man on a plain day wakes up, slowly or quickly according to his tompermanent, and greets the day in mental posture which might De mus expressed in words;
 "oh, Lord Another dayl What grind,"
 If you six me whom I mean by the plain man, my reply Is that l mean almost every man. l mean the rich and the poor, the successful and the un- successful, the idle and the diligent, the luxurious and the austere. For. what with the limits of digestion. the practical impossibility of wearing two peekties at once the insecurity of in- vestments, the responsibilities Of wealth and of success, the exhaust ingness of the search for pleasure, and the cheapness of travel, the real dit- ferences between one sort of plain man and another are slight in these times 1 (And indeed they always were slighto The plain man has lot to do be- 1 fore he may have his breakfast--and he must do it.

Preserving Monticello

From the Rochester Post Express.
 Mrs. Martin w. Littleton Is contin- uing efforts of long duration to pre- serve the home of Thomas Jefferson, the place of his burial, Monticello, on the crest of the Virginia hills. The site has passed through several own erships. and it is thought 1t may be necessary to appeal to Congress, to ac- ouire for the nation the historic edi- fee In which lived the man who was not only the pen of the revolution but who after the republic was formed profoundly affected it's development for two decades. Surely it is interesting to have preserved the homes of Wash ington and Marshall. Those of Frank lin and Hamilton have been destroyed. Many landmarks throughout the coun- try are guarded with q care that in sures their preservation. Jefferson S home is in private hands. but the opin- lon has been expressed that 1t can be acquired by the government under the supreme court ruling that preserved

 We left Belfast with the cheers ring ing In our ears and as we left the last message of Ulster came to us from the hills on both sides of the Lough.

Beck, assistant Attorney General in President McKin- ley's cabinet, has assured Mrs. Little ton that the preservation of any his- torical landmark is as legitimate a function of the federal government as Is the preservation of an historic bat tlefield.

An Acceptable Poem

From the London Chronicle.
 The highest price ever paid for poetry was f375 a line, James Smith of Rejected Addresses' fame, being the fortunate recipient. One evening at dinner he met Richard Strachan, the Kings printer, who, although badly crippled with gout, conversed so bril- liantly that Smith sent him the fol- lowing tribute:
 Your lower limbs seemed far from
 stout
 When last I saw you walk, The cause I presently found out
 When you began to talk. The power that props the body's
 strength,
 In due proportion spread. In you mounts upward and the strength
 All settles in the head
 On receiving this, Strachan added a codcil to his will, leaving the author f3000 as a reward for his poem.

Thackeray,s Puns
IA rnuIishwornan

From the Englfshwoman.
 Thackeray had unique gift for coin ing or choosing names that convey a whimsical idea without actually ex- pressing it by definite pun, an extra ordinary talent for hitting upon names that appear natural and artless be- cause they are so apt. and he played with them as a juggler losses balls in the air.
 There is Miss Billing (to take an example at random). who Is referred to quite casually as having tried to win Colonel Newcome's affections with her music We imagine the cooing at once. embodied in her songs.

You old people, Syrup of Figs is par ttcularly for you. You who don't ex- ercise as much as you need to; who like the easy chair. You, whose steps are slow and whose muscles are less elastic You must realize that your liver and ten yards of bowels have also become less active
 Don't regard Syrup of Figs as physics. It stimulates the liver and bowels just as exercise would do if you took enough of 1t. It is not harsh like salts or cathartics. The help which syrup of Figs gives to torpid liver and weak, sluggish bowels is harmless, natural and gentle.
 When eyes grow dim, you help them. DO the same with your liver and bowels when age makes them less active. There is nothing more import ant. Costive, clogged-up bowels mean that deoaying. fermenting food Is xclogged there and the pores or ducts In tSese thirty feet of bowels suck this
