"Slphon" Sisson.

Thomas Upton Sisson, member of
congress from the Fourth district of
Alabama, is destined to go down in his
tory rs the siphon bottle statesman.
Which is an unfortunate fate.
When the California-Japanese I'M
broglio was at height Mr.. SIsson deliv.
cred an tmpassioned anti-Japanese
speech on the floor Of the house.
IF we must have war;" he declared,
"or submit to this indignity, I am for
war;"
Later, in the tariff debate, Repre-
sentative Johnson of Washington, re-
proving him for this speech, called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Sisson had
voted last year against a battleship
program, and then he referred to the
southerner as "the sizzling solon from
the Mississippi, Mr.. Sisson."
II that doesn't sound like a siphon
bottle, what does? The resemblance
caught the fancy OF the cloakroom con-
gressional kidders, and they are ring.

Sisson happens along.

when these hammocks are occupied
by pretty girls. Trees, like dogs, are
known by their banks.
Trees are tall, short, thick and thin,
and sometimes nude. In cold weather
nude trees stand around and invite
immortality. Spring, the only modest
thing left, comes along once a year
and covers them up. Then autumn
tells them what is going t. happen to
them a little later, which makes them
all blush.
Trees are very polite. They spend
their time in nodding to one another.

New Bed of ScalInnn

The demand for sea food Is a per-

This Is particularly true Of the lob.

But the scallop is a good substitute,
and the report just made to the sec
rotary OF commerce that a bed OF the

extending from Rhode Island to the
Virginia capes, has been found, is
very ~reassuring. The common kind

Profitable Dreams.

Authors and musicians are not the
only dreamers of profitable dreams.
st. Augustine records that a disciple
OF his, having to lecture on Cicero's
rhetorical books, was baffed by a Ger
tain passage. He slept, and in a dream
his master, who was really far away
and unconscious of the whole thing,
appeared to him and e%xpounded the
passage. In 1893 Herr Hilprecht, pro.
lessor Of A~ssyriology In the University
OF Pennsylvania, was worried over
two small fragments of agate found
at Babylon, Of which he had received
drawings. In his dream a tall, thin
Assyrian priest told him they be

an inscribed votive cylinder which had
been cut up to make earrings for the
statue of a god. The professor found
next day that the fragments did At

Makes Body TRANSPARENT.

A 9 method of giving medical
students instruction which, 1t is said,
will largely obviate the necessity of
dissection, will be put into practice at
the Hahnemann Medical college, Phil
adelphia, at the beginning Of the next
term. Physicians and surgeons n
nected with the department Of anat-
omy are now ~perfecting the process,
which originates through the recent
discovery by a German scientist OF
n fluid by the use OF which the human
body can be rendered transparent.
The fluid, which Ia composed Of W.
eral oils, turns the flesh into a sort OF
transparent jelly when injected, en-
abling the student to study the veins,
muscles and bones far better, It is as.
serted, than II they resorted to the
