Then baby came and, besides adding
to the family. added to the impecuni-
osity. Ingenuity went far toward solv-
ing the problems of living for two in
an inexpensive place. Baby strained
that ingenuity further. At first it was
no impossible task to carry him up
stairs. but he grew, as babies will. and
Mary's back became weary daily as she
carried him up.
What was to be done? Oh, for an
elevator!
The dumb waiter? OF course! There
after, when Mary and baby came in,
baby was put in the dumb waiter. Then
Mary walked upstairs and hoisted
baby. Baby liked it. Mary liked it,

Changes Of Climate.

A scientist who recently investigat-
ed the causes of secular variations in
temperature at the earth's surface
thinks that they are more probably
due to changes in the amount Of car
bonic acid in the atmosphere than to
variations in the heat of the sun. Ii
the amount of carbonic acid that the
air now contains was diminished
little more than half the mean tenn
perature all over the earth would. 1t Is
stated. drop about eight degrees,
which would be sufficient to bring Oh
another glacial period. On the other
hand. AN increase of carbonic acid be-
tween two and three times its present
amount would raise the mean temper
ature fifteen degrees and renew the
hot times of the eocene epoch.-Boston

MIDDLE NAMES.
In England at Ono Time People Were
Hanged For Having Them.

In England at Ono Time People Were
Hanged For Having Them.
People have not always been allowed
the pleasure Of ha wing as many names
as they wish. Indeed, 400 years ago
not even a middle name was allowed
in England. 1t was illegal. The old
English law was definite and admitted
of no infraction of its ruling.
The only exception made to this iron
clad regulation was in the case Of per-
sons of royal rank. If they really
wished it they could boast middle
name, but woe to the person of Ordi-
nary rank who was sufficiently unwise
or obstinate to insist on having more
than two appellations.
For the first offense he would very
likely be tied to whipping post and
severely lashed For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment. perhaps the removal of
his thumbs or his ears. And if he still
persisted in his stubborness he would
be hanged
There is case on record of poor
man. in all probability half demented.
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. OF course he passed through
all the legal stages of punishment until
he was finally hanged.-Chicago Trib-
une.

GAS METERS.

Shsspskins Play q Leading Role In the
Work Of the Registers.
Consumers of gas are usually so un-
familiar with the operation of gas
meter, simple as it is. that 1t will be
surprising to many to learn that sheep.
skin plays an important part in the
meters work. 1t is used, according to
Gas Logic. in connection with the
diaphragms, or the two bellows from
which the gas is drawn when the gas
Is lighted.
A flock of 10000 sheep is required
each year to repair the gas meters used
In Manhattan and Bronx boroughs.
New York city. These skins cost about
$4,000 year. To repair the meters
used throughout the United States in Il
single year about 100000 sheep are re-
quired. Great care has to be taken in
the selection Of perfect skins before
they are put into use.
Each pelt, before it is accepted. is ex-
amined in dark closet by man who
passes it over table in which there
is hole about four inches square.
through which light is thrown up
ward. BY this means it can quickly be
determined whether or not the sheep
whose skin is being examined has ever
had experience in bramble bushes
Thin places. made by pricking Of the
brambles or by the skin having been
injured in the dressing process, render
It unfit for use in a meter.
