plorer Of Chinese Turkestan. found In
caverns at Tuan-Huang silk rolls
which are Chinese manuscripts, some
OF them embroidered by artists who
seem to have stepped out of THE
Arabian Nights" These rolls have
been immured in these grottos for
nine hundred years. and when de-
ciphered and translated will tell the
story Of civilization that fourished
over a thousand years ago and is

OLD GAME IS WORKED AGAIN
Confidence Men In Paris Substituted
String Of Imitation Pearls for
Good Ones.

A Paris dealer in precious stones,
M. Lagnel, was the victim of an au
dacious theft perpetrated by means Of
the time honored confidence trick. A
few weeks ago M. Lagnel made the
acquaintance Of young man who
called himself Sognier. He was anx-
ious to act as agent for M. Lagnel.
and declared that he would be able to
introduce wealthy clients.
A few days ago Sognier introduced
to M. Lagnel wealthy friend" OF
his. whom he called M. Chevalier OF
Clermont-Ferrand, who desired to buy
a pearl necklace for his wife. The two
men called at M. Lagnel's office in the
Rue du Temple, and M. Chevalier Sc
lected a necklace valued at $4,000
When about to pay he found that he
had left his purse at his hotel. In or
der to be sure that the necklace would
not be exchanged for another while he
was absent in search of the money,
Chevalier asked II 1t could be placed
In sealed envelope. This WAS done.
and Chevalier and his friend disap-
peared.
AS they failed to return, the jeweler
made inquiries, but could find no trace
of them. He then opened the sealed
envelope and found 1t contained imita-
ton pearls worth but a few francs
The thieves had cleverly substituted
second envelope for the one contain
ing the necklace.-Paris Letter to the
London Chronicle.

Households to Let,

The cult OF the houseboat has never
made much progress in this country,
for number of reasons, the chief OF
which Is perhaps the liking OF Ameri-
cans for speed. Besides, we are a
gregarious people, and hotels with
their crowds attract most of those
who nave not the time or money
for elaborate country places.
But in England and Germany these
quiet summer floating houses are in.
creasing In popularity and a Berlin
company has this year gone into the
business on a large scale of building
Households to let. ..-
They are built on one pattern, the
main feature Of them being a roof

ing-room. Perhaps we may some time
appreciate their advantages, and our
rivers may present as attractive an
appearance as does the Thames.

Protecting Wild Animals.

An important amendment to the
game laws which goes into effect this
year is that prohibiting the sale OF
game at any time. While this will
have no effect on the average hunter,
1t will put an end to a practice which
has had much to do with decreasing
the supply Of wild animals and birds
In this state. The slaughter of game
In order to supply the markets has
In the past done much to aid in the
extinction of our wild animals and
birds, and the elimination OF this type
OF hunter will be most beneficial.
Each year the game laws are be-
ing more strictly enforced, and the
protectors have obtained large num-
Der OF convictions. The officials are
no longer ready to overlook violations
OF the law, but are making every ef-
fort to put stop to illegal hunting.
And In this work they have the moral
support OF all good citizens of the
state.-Schenectady Gazette

WORK FOR CLOUD SPOTTEF
the Process Of Taking Nov
ing Pictures.

Among the new jobs that modern
.ife has originated said statistician,
that of the cloud spotter is interest
ing and odd. The cloud spotter
doesn't, OF course, make spots on
clouds. No, no. He stand on high
roof with costly field glass and he
continually notifies his employer,
moving picture maker, Of the condi-
ton of the heavens.
You see, for an elaborate moving
picture play a steady, uniform light is
essential. The pictures must be taken
all in sunshine or all in clear gray
light. Otherwise they differ. Some
are weak and some strong. They don't
match on the screen. So the cloud
spotter on the roof, searching the
heavens with his glass, studying the
course and velocity OF the wind. as
sures his boss of good half-hour or
hour for photographing a moving pic
ture play, and thus saves waste OF
films that would otherwise be many
times larger than his frugal salary.
