BOOK
DEEP SEA MONSTERS.

The prince Of Monaco presented re-
Gently to the Academy Of Sciences in
Farls some notes about cephalopods
captured by him at an average depth
OF about $4,000 feet. Cephalopods are
octopuses. cuttlefish and squids. These
deep sea creatures. he said, have such
transparent bodies that all their inter
nal arrangements can be seen distinct
~, and even the course of the nerves
through the head and tentacles may
De traced. Several years ago the prince
described come cephalopods which
mad searchlights fixed upon their
neads. He now describes q species
with eyes Of which the lower half Is
luminous. SO that the eye serves both
Ior seeing and for lighting. Any AMI
NAL that inhabits such depths as these
90 must have artificial light, for the
suns rays cannot penetrate. and all
Is absolute darkness. So the eyes of
these cephalopods are perfectly adapt
ed to their environment.

Uses of Uranium.

There is considerable popular inter
est in uranium in the United States on
account of its connection with ra-
dunn, Very little uranium is mined
in this country, except as 1t is incl
dentally taken out in mining carnot-
tie 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 it gives yellow color and
indirect light a 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.

NIAGARA's MIGHTY STRENGTH
Hard to Estimate Power That Has
Been Wasted Since HennepIn First
Described the Falls.

In the autumn OF 1878 q Franciscan
Irlar, Hennepin, set out alone-the
first solitary figure Of the expedition,
q gray priest-from the gray rock Of
Quebec, In birch canoe, carrying
with him the furniture of a portable
altar" Along the way up the st.
Lawrence he stopped to minister to
the habitants, too few and too poor
70 support priest, saying mass, ex-
norting and baptizing. Early in No
vemDer he arrived at the mission at
FORT Frontenac, which he had two
or three years before helped La Sale
to establish In the wilds. Soon La
Sales lieutenants appeared, with
most of the men, and while some
were dispatched in canoes to Lake
Michigan to gather the buffalo fieeces
against the coming of the ship whose
Keel had not yet been laid, the rest
LA Motto, Hennepin and sixteen
mem embarked for the river by
which the upper lakes empty into
Lake Ontario and the st. Lawrence,
That is, the Niagara. To this priest,
Hennepin, we owe the first descrip-
ton and picture of Niagara, probably
now more familiar to the world than
any other natural feature of this con-
tlnent. He has somewhat magnified
the height of these falls, but they are
impressive enough to acquit him of
Justification and powerful enough to
run virtually all the manufacturing
plants in the United States, If they
could be gathered within reach. AS
1t Is. less than four per cent of the
water that overfows from the four
upper Great Lakes into the lower
lake once known as Lake Frontenac
and now as Ontario, Is diverted for
unitarian purposes, and yet it sup
plies the American and the Canadian
almost equally between the two
shores over 100000 horsepower. What
the conversion of the strength of this
Titan, for ages entirely wasted and
for century after Hennepin only a
scenic wonder, means or may mean
/ to industry in the future is intimated
in some statistics furnished by re-
cent writer on the Great Lakes show
ing the relative cost per month of a
certain unit of power in number of
representative American cities.-John
Finley, In Scribner's.

THE BLANKET TREE.

Blankets grow on trees In Ecuador,
and while the idea of an Atwood.
fresh from the forest, bed-covering
might give insomnia and a backache
to the child of civilization who likes
to snuggle comfortably under several
layers of down and wool, the natives
find 1t all right, as in fact, it Is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up demajagua
tree and cuts from it five or six foot
section of the peculiarly soft, thick
bark. This is dampened and beaten
until the fiexibility of the sheet is
much increased. The rough, gray ex-
terror is next peeled off, and the sheet
dried In the sun. The result Is a
blanket. soft, light, and fairly warm.
of an attractive cream color. It may
be rolled into a compact bundle with
out hurt and with ordinary usage will
last for several years.-Harpers
Weekly.

Fiddle With a Brain.

The latest invention Is a violin that
plays itself. People who have heard
it say that it possesses the delicacy
Of touch and sweetness Of tone Of q
finished player, Pearson's Weekly
states.
Really the mechanical violin con-
sists of three instruments. The bow
is q 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.
It is not likely to replace the human
player in the orchestra for some time,
at least. as the cheapest kind costs
1000. !,
Like most machines. however, II
lacks one thing; it cannot tune itself.
When any of the notes get fiat the
strings have to be frightened by mere
man in almost the same way as an
ordinary violin.

FARM HAS TRAGIC HISTORY.

A tragic history accompanies q
Welsh farm near Swansea. The farm
is known az "Talywanda." A man
named David Davies. farmer, thirty
years old, committed suicide there, a
few days ago, by cutting his throat.
When found In field, the body was
almost beyond recognition. having
been attacked by rats. No fewer than
five inquests have been held by the
coroner at the farm on bodies of
members Of the family during the
past few years, and all met singular
deaths. The father was killed by
being run over by cart which he
was driving; the mother died sudden
ly; an elder brother was thrown of
his horse and killed, and another
brother hanged himself. A previous
occupant of the farm, prior to the
tenancy of the Davieses, also hanged
himself.

HOW sP00NER QUIT SMOKING
son OF Former Senator From WIscon.
SIN Makes Agreement With Father
When Leaving Home.

Ex-senator John C. Spooner OF Wis
consin, who is now prominent law
yer in New York, is fond Of telling
now he came to quit smoking. The
story has moral in it which other
parents might take to heart and apply
In dealing with the faults of their
children.
For thirty years I was an inces-
SAINT smoker" said the senator. "and
had cigar in my mouth nearly all
the time. Cigars soothed my nerves
when l worked hard. At least that
was my belief. l knew the habit was
filling me with nicotine, but it did not
seem to affect my health much.
MY son Charles had been graduated
from law school and was preparing
to go west and put out his single In
new country. He and sat together
one night before the time of Els de.
parture, and as we conversed thought
that before he left it would be a good
idea to have the boy promise not to
drink.
Do you drink, Charlie?' l said to
him, and he responded, Once in q
while. Why? I would like you ia
promise me-. said, that you will not
touch intoxicating liquors. You are
going far away to begin your career
In rough country, and : would feel
better If you will not drink We prob
ably won't see much of each other
again for a good many years, and II
would give me consolation to know
that wherever you are you are in no
danger of being ruined by drink
"Coolly looking me over, Charlie
said: Father, you smoke too much
You are filed with nicotine. I am go
ing away and we will probably not
see each other for some time This
smoking is running your health.
would like to feel while I am away
that your health is not being ruined
by this dangerous nicotine habit. I'll
tell you what / will do. You quit
smoking and will quit drinking
My son. said l, you have touched
me in very weak spot. l take great
delight in smoking good cigar, but ii
you are game SO am l. We will both
quit our. bad habits.'''
The senator says he and his son
shook hands on the compact and that
both of them have kept their pledges
