Of the Hargis-Callahan clan. She,

Fiddle With a Brain

The latest invention is violin that
plays itself. People who have heard
1t say that it possesses the delicacy
Of touch and sweetness of tone Of a
finished player. Pearson's Weekly
states.
Really the mechanical violin con.
sists Of three instruments. The bow
Is circular hoop of horsehair which
travels around continually. Standing
on end inside the hoop are three vio
Inns.
Along the neck of the instruments
stretch row Of uncanny fingers that
run up and down the strings Just like
real fingers. The violins stand back
about an inch from the moving hoop
of horsehair, against which they are
pushed at the right moment when the
note Is struck.
The hardest tunes to play present
no difficulties to this marvellous fiddle.
1t is not likely to replace the human
player in the orchestra for some time,
at least. as the cheapest kind costs
$4,000.
Like most machines, however, It
lacks one thing; 1t cannot tune itself.
When any of the notes get fiat the
strings have to be tightened by mere
man In almost the same way as an
ordinary violin.

Library Of Artemu. Ward.

AS we sat on the old-fashioned
porch at Waterford, Me-. and talked
with Uncle Daniel" Browne. a cousin
of "Artemus Ward" he revealed many
quaint glimpses Of his own career as
village justice of the peace. His
daughter owns the library of "Arte.
mus Ward" In his will 1t was award.
ed to the brightest girl in the old
Waterford schoolhouse, which he at
tended. and the prize was won by an
own cousin. Thereon hangs the love
romance of his life. The blue-eyed
girl died a few years after the re.
mains of Charles F. Browne had been
brought to the old Elm Vale cemetery
in Waterford. and thus ended the
earthly love OF the cousins. Today
In the quiet cemetery the gravestones
stand in stern military array and
carry dates reaching back for more
than century. Under the granite
shaft, beside his brother and mother,
sleeps "Artemus Ward" under a sim.
pie slab on which the Inscription
reads: Charles F., Brown. known to
the world as ArtemNs Ward."-

Charm Of Memory.

The charm of memory lies, think.
in the quality which it gives things,
at once of intimacy and remoteness.
The fascination to US OF recalling our
past selves. our former surroundings.
lies In our sense that they are abso-
luteiy known to us. yet absolutely out
Of our reach. We can recall places,
houses. rooms, until every detail lives
again. We can turn from one thing to
another and. as We look at each. 10. 1t
is there! 1t has reality more poig-
nant than the hand that we touch or
the flower that we smell Sometimes,
1t is true. present experiences, even
as they occur. have something OF this
quality. They do not need to recede
into the past to gain this glamour.
Certain places have It; cathedrals

Uses of Uranium.

There is considerable popular inter.
est in uranium in the United States on
account of it's connection with ra-
dium. Very little uranium is mined
in this country, except as it is Incl.
dentally taken out in mining carnot-
ite for vanadium, according to the
United States geological survey. In
1911 the uranium mined amounted
to about twenty-one and two-tenths
tons. A few hundred pounds of pitch.
blende was mined from the German
mine, at Central City, Colo, but this
material was not sold, as it was said
to have been used in experimental
work. The extraction of radium has
been attempted in the United States
by several persons and firms. Some
of these have given up their efforts,
but others are still at work. Uranium
is employed principally for making
yellow glass, for yellow glazes on
pottery, and in a less degree as a
chemical reagent. Yellow glass made
with uranium oxide is known as
''opalescent." Direct light shining
through 1t gives a yellow color and
indirect light greenish yellow.
Some Of the firms which have at.
tempted to use uranium in the manu-
facture of steel have abandoned such
experiments, the claim being made
that it apparently imparts about the
same properties as tungsten, and is
very much more expensive.

THREW THE DIAMOND AWAY
Second Finder Was Wiser and Kept
II for its Much Worried
Owner,

At big hotel not over half a mile
from Times square, which may be fur
ther identified by the fact that some
of the employees can afford to wear
diamonds, good-sized brilliant went
begging for a time Friday morning
1t was lost by its owner, found.
thrown away, and then found again.
The night manager owns a ring
that has three diamonds in it. The
middle one was said to have cost him
5000. Some time Thursday night 1t
dropped out of its setting.
After things had got quiet, the man
who cleans up the second floor saw
something glittering on the carpet
in one Of the public rooms on thesec-
ond floor. He picked it up and took 1t
to the night controller.
Jaw. that's nothing but a bit Of
glass;" appraised the controller, who
doesn't wear diamonds.
But 1t looks like something" said
the cleaner.
Rats! You're bughouse If you think
that's worth anything. Throw 1t
away"
AS the cleaner didn't have any
other place handy, he threw the thing
in corner.
When daylight came the rays of
the sun came in and fell on the dia,
mond just as housemaid was tidy
ing up the room. She saw it and
picked 1t up. The cleaner had not
yet gone home, and she showed it to
him.
Nothing but glass. That's the sec
ond time I've seen that thing" he as
sured her.
Who told you it was glass?" she
asked.
''The controller"
Huh! he knows nothing about jew
elry. I'm going to keep it," and she
put it into her pocket
The night manager came to the ho-
tel Friday night out of breath. He
had not discovered his loss until he
awoke in the afternoon. He immedi-
ately began an investigation, and
finally it led him to the cleaner.
Yes, l picked up something like
what you say" he said.
What did you do with it?"
Il threw it away"
The manager said some things, to
which the cleaner retorted that the
controller had been positive the thing
was nothing but glass
The manager said some more
things. Then the cleaner remembered
that the housemaid had picked up the
thing again.
What did she do with it,"
Il told her to throw it away"
The manager thought Of a few
things he had left unsaid. but looked
up the housemaid. No. she had not
thrown 1t away. She looked up the
working skirt she had worn the night
before and there the gem still lay in
the pocket.-New York Times.
