The First Railway Gauge

An interesting story was told by one
Of George Stephenson's biographies re-
lating how the great engineer came to
adopt the four foot eight and haI
inch gauge for his railways Some
time previous to the building OF his
Newcastle and Carlisle railway Ste
phenson had an opportunity Of inspect
ing some portion Of an old Roman waii'
through which the chariots used 20
be driven. Deep ruts made by the
chariot wheels were still visible, and
on measuring these he found their
distance apart to be as near as possible
four feet eight and half inches Ste
phenson thereupon came to the conctu-
sion that II a world power like the
Romans had made such use OF the
measure for its chariots he could not
be wrong in adopting those measure
ments as q rule for his railway.

Anecdote of Gounod.

Gounod was at one moment within
an ace Of taking holy orders, but on
reflection be thought that the life OF a
priest would not suit him. He none
the less remained firm and devout
Catholic and adored religious music
On this point typical anecdote is told
OF him. It occurred during the re-
hearsal Of bis "Drames sacres" at the
Vaudeville theater. The manager cali
ed on him one morning and asked per
mission to make a suggestion. /
think, mon cher maitre,'' he said, that
there is something wanting in your
sacre. For example, do you not think
that the Barabbas incident might be
improved by a little more orchestral
efect?" Gounod, without replying, hid
his head in his hands and after two or
three minutes Of meditation suddenly
exclaimed: NO; decidedly no. Such a
blackguard as that does not deserve
more music .'-Lcndon Graphic.

Thumb Prints,

In the Argentine Republic the 1oentl-
fcation cards OF policemen, coachmen,
cab drivers, COMMISSIONERS and serv-
ants have since 1896 borne their finger
prints. Upon all passports and bank
receipts for deposits the imprint Of the
thumb must be made at the time OF de-
livery. In Roumania since 1908 the
thumb print has been substituted Tor
the cross made instead Of signature 6E
persons who cannot write. In the Phil
ippine Islands those who cannot write
are not obliged to be identified by Wit
nesses at savings banks, but have to
make their mark with their thumb.
The same system has been used IN
the banks Of Bengal for fifty years. In
France to put an end to the fraud OF
enlistment, deser6on and re-erlistment
for the bounty paid in the Foreign Le-
gion, every mans finger prints are tax
en- and kept on file.

Eic,s That Mevcr Go Out.

There ire many household fires in
England which are kept burning con-
tinuouslv. III several Yorkshire inns
which. like the Falcon, Oil Cloughton
moor, make speciality Of peat cakes
there is always a ruddy glow on the
hearth.
There are whole districts in Wales,
too, where domestic fires never go out.
Once lit, they are kept alight because
of the difficulty OF starting them. This
is owing to the peculiar character Of
the fuel, which is culm, q mixture Of
anthracite coal and clay. In every
house in the cu!m districts the last job
at night is making up the fire. and then
It is time for bed. There IS no lncllna-
ton to tarry, for nothing looks more
dead than the black, sodden mass from
which smoke is curling. But in the
morning the bellows quickly BRING q
blaze, and the kettle boils in ten min
tes' time.-London Answers.

The Gaelic A!phabet.

Men familiar with the Gaelic tongue
tell US that the alphabet Of that an
cient language is the most curious OF
alI alphabets in that nearly every let
ter is represented by tree. The al
phabet Of today comprises eighteen let
tiers. Ancient Gaelic had seventeen.
Now, as of old, all the letters with the
exception Of 6, t and u, which stano
for ivy, furze and heather, are called
after trees.
The Gaelic 4 now runs: Allm'
bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath,
huath, iogh, luis, muin, NUN, olv'
peith, ruis, suil, teine, ur, which IS
equivalent to saying: Elm, birch, hazei'
oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whitethorn, lew
rowan OF quicken, vine, ash, spindle
tree, pine, elder, willow, furze, heath
In the ancient Gaelic alphabet the let
ter h (the huath, or whitethorn) does
not exist. The alphabet is called the
beth-lris-nuin because b 4 and not
q b are it's first three letters.-Ne"

SNOW GsrIands.

Curious ropes Of snow that form
on window ledges, tree branches, etc,
at a temperature near freezing point
have been brought to notice by DE-
Karl Kassner as ''snow garianos.
One Of these ropes photographed on
the building Of the Meteorological in
.stitute in Berlin was four inches in
thickness and was suspended by the
two ends, the distance between the
points Of support being three and
three-quarters feet and the vertical
sag about one and one-haH inches.

the wall, it is supposed. was warmed

Foes Sewiider Birds.

It IS q curious thing that, though
human beings are utterly bewiidered
in a dense fog, most animals find their
way through it without much dlttl-
Guilty. 4 horse will trot along N its
right direction as though the air were
perfectly clear, ard not only that, but
will take the right turning at the right
moment If it is at all accustomed to
the road. 4 human being would take
any turning but the right one. Birds,
on the other hand, are utterly bewl-
dered by fogs. Pigeons, for instance,
will remain moionless all day long,
half asleep, hudcled up in their pigeon
houses. Chickens and poultry Of all
kinds won't stir all the time a heavy
fog is about. Birds Of all kinds, as q
matter Of fact, seem helpless during
foggy weather-Pearson's-

that they fell on one another and their
