Napoleon's Last Doctor.

NJ. Frederic Mason has traced the
remarkable career Of Signor Anton
marchi, whom Cardinal Fesch sent to
st. Helena to act as Napoleon's medi-
cal adviser. He was not even quail
fed, but was only student holding
an appointment in the dissecting room
Of the Florence hospital, and he dag
nosed cancer of the stomach as a SIM
PIE indigestion and counseled the en-
percr to cure it by digging in the gar
den. After NapoIeon's death he tried
to obtain a pension from his : .irs on
the strength of an unsupported state
ment that there was a codicil in the
will bequeathing one to him. Marie
Louise and Neipperg refused to do
anything for him. but the matter ulti-
mately went to arbitration, and he was
awarded an annuity Of 5000 francs.
He raised little ready money by SELL
ing Napoleon's death mask, and then.
after setting up in medical practice in
Paris and failing to obtain patients,
he crossed the ocean to New Orleans.
He died in Santiago in 1S3S.-West-

MOVING THE PIANO.
Changing lts Position In Room Will
Affect lts Tone.

Changing Its Position In . Room Will
Affect lts Tone.
It is said that the very act OF NOV
ing a piano around in a room is sufi-
Client to disturb it's tonal qualities.
When a piano has been moved into
the position for which it is intended,
is accustomed to the temperature and
the drafts prevalent, it should be tuned,
experts say. Any change Of tempera-
ture or movement may cause the
strings to contract or expand slightly
with the resultant loss or gain Of half
Z semitone. Changing the position Of q
piano Is said to have almost the same
effect as constant playing, only In the
latter case the constant action Of the
hammers against the strings tends to
loosen their adjustment and the instru-
ment runs out Of tune.
Sea air has also a detrimental effect
on pianos. Here again contraction
and expansion of the wires are the
chief causes Of disturbance. Pianos
constructed for the tropics are much
more strongly built than those used In
temperate climates. Wood that Is not
liable to warp and crack Is used In the
sounding boards; otherwise they have
to be brass bound and stayed to pre-
vent splitting.-New York Sun.

The Copper In q Cent.

A penny Is made from almost chem
ically pure copper, which Is obtained
by the new electric methods. Formerly
the refining of copper was an expen.
sive process. but with the utilization Of
electricity the expense has been ma.
terially decreased. The copper is plac-
ed at one end Of tank which Is filed
with water. This is called the anode
or positive pole The action Of pow
erful electric current releases the cop
per. carries it through the water and
deposits it on the negative or cathode
pole. The result ia what Is known as
Electricity" or cathode" copper. 1t
is what pennies are made of. While
the ''electrolytic" Is the purest known
copper. the lake" copper brings q
slightly higher price in the market
This Is because there Is small amount
Of silver in all the copper from the
Lake Superior regions. 1t is so small
that 1t cannot be separated at profit.
Silver, however, is a better conductor
Of electricity than copper. and there
fore for commercial purposes the lake
copper is in such demand that it brings
q better price.-New York Press.

We are even yet very much in the
experimental stage of road building.
1t is within the realm of the probable
that we shall yet discover a method
for building good and enduring high
ways that is much less costly than the
system which demands a road ballast
of crushed stone from six to twelve
inches deep. Some day, perhaps, son;c
investigating genius will tell lis how to
permanently solidify the clays of the
country roads. which in their natural
state mush into muck in winter and
grind into fine powder in summer.

It is probable, however, that many
species Of sea fish. are equally. II not
. great deal more, rapacious. Large
dog6sh, congers, pollack. cod and bass
are especially ferocious, while halibut
will very often seize and kill other
large fish. An English angler was
'playing'' a large conger when q huge
halibut swan up to and savagely bit
at 1t-a proceeding that cost the haiibut
its own life, for on its making for the
wounded conger a second time the
boatman contrived to gar and haul 1t
aboard. There have been many ex-
amples of pike being found dead, chok-
ed by their own species. and these fish
not infrequently attack another pike
that has been hooked by a fisherman.

WATER OF THE WORLD.

What Will We Do When ths Population
outarows the Rainfall?
DR.. MCGEE, un American scientist,
"who follows the form Of investig alton
that uses weighing scales for testi-
mony-scales that cannot lie." has
found that the average Individual uses
directly or Indirectly about 4,4OO tons
pf water every year. lie drinks ton.
The vegetables he consumes require
about 400 tons for their growth. and
his annual meat supply Of 200 pounds
uses up no less than 1000 tons of
water.
Using this figure as basis, DR.. Nc
Gee shows that when the population
of the United States has reached 1.O17.-
100000, which he thinks will occur
about A. D. 2210, every drop Of the
annual aaiDfall will be required to
maintain the food supply. and no fur
ther increase of Inhabitants will be
possible.
The present Inhabitants Of the entire
world, estimated at about 1900, ,OO0, 900,
can be increased to 10000, 100000 II
the total annual rainfall Of earth re-
mains as It is today-that Is, thirteen
times the present population will
crowd the earth to its limit.

leave quite out of account the ques-
ton Of tapping the oceans, which Is

her stories are some Of Pope Plus lX.
which show that pontif in u most ami

accommodated the king. they really
loved each other, says Lady Paget,
"for they were made of the same kind
Of stuff. and both belonged emphatical-
ly to the days that are past and gone.
Impulsive in action. primesautier and
generous in temperament. they allowed
themselves the luxury of sometimes
letting their feelings deviate from what
others might consider the stern path Of
