VERTEBRATE EXTREMES.
Largest and Smallest. Creatures In the
 Different Groups.

In an article written for the American Naturalist Dr. A. w. Hem. compares the largest and smallest creatures in the different vertebrate groups. The smallest of all is a minute fish of the goby fam fly from lake in Luzon, which is just over half an inch long.
 In contrast to this is the great blue rorqual of the north Atlantic, a whale that sometimes attains the enormous length of eighty-fve feet.
 The smallest known existing mammal is a shrewmouse from Madagascar, which is two and thre- quarters inches long. In America there is another shrew very little larger. The biggest existing land mammal is, of course, the African elephant. Next comes in turn the Indian elephant and the white rhi- noceros. The tallest member of the group is the giraffe, but that animal was approached, although not actu- ally rivaled in this respect, by the extinct giraffe camels of North America.
 The smallest bird is a humming bird from Cuba, which is only two and quarter inches long. No men, tion is made by Dr. Hem of the big gest bird, but this distinction among living species is enjoyed by the os- trich, which is, however, much smaller than the extinct New Zea- land moa. The most massive of all birds was the extinct Patagonian cariama, which had skull almost as large as that of horse, but in massiveness of limb some giant birds of Madagascar exceeded it. Their remains have given rise to the legend of the roc. The largest flying bird is either the giant albatross or the Chilean and Californian con- dors.
 A West Indian gecko has a good right to be regarded as the smallest lizard. Its length is about one and three-quarter inches. On the other hand, the great water monitor of the Indo-Malay countries, which grows to eight feet in length, is the great est among living lizards. But it is a mere dwarf in comparison with an extinct Australian species, known solely by detached vertebrae. Ignoring snakes Dr. Hem regards the Indian garial, which grows thir- ty feet or more, as the largest of all existing reptiles, But such dimen- sions are insignificant beside those of the gigantic dinosaurs, which in some instances are said to have been 100 feet in length.

His Idea of Scoring.

At a country cricket match Tn Lanarkshire local farmers boy was appointed scorer, his duties be- ing carefully explained to him. The first inning was not very produc- tive of runs and soon came to an end, and every one made rush for the scorer. Judge of their surprise, however, when they found that not a single mark had been made in the carefully ruled book that had been provided.
 When reproached in somewhat strong terms the boy was not in the least disconnected, but with the most ingenious air in the world said:
 "I was sac eenterested in the sport that l quite forgot to mak' the crosses. But it disna matter that wee laddie vi the red face is the smartest runner among ye. London Tit-Bits.

6ismarck's Intense Hate.

That Prince Bismarck was a good hater is shown in the "reminiscences of Herr von Tiedemann, formerly chief of the imperial chancellery. During the first dinner at which Herr von Tiedemann was present with the prince, Bismarck said he thought Goethe was wrong in saying that love only beautifed life. Hate did the same service and was quite as great vivifer as love. ''To me-" added the prince, 'are indispensable love for my wife and hate for Wind- horst" One morning Bismarck said to Herr von Tiedemann, q have not been able to sleep; l have hated the whole night"

Presence of Mind.

An old farmer drove into a small town the other day and stopped at the country store. A photograph had just been installed and the farmer decided to have few cents worth of music. The clerk handed him the ear tubes, placed them in proper position and immediately started the machine.
 The farmer instantly dropped the tubes and rushed to the door, crying:
 "Great snakes! Hold on a min nit, will ye? There's gol durned brass band comin' an there ain't nobody a-holdin' my horse. Eff.

NITROGLYCERIN.
Dangers Attending the Making of This
 Erratic Explosive.

Nitroglycerin does not always be- have in the same way. One day, it is said, this fckle explosive will Ego off, at the slightest shock, while the next day one might If he had the temerity) strike quite blow upon can of the same substance and live to tell the story. Nitro slycerin's readiness or reluctance to explode doubtless depends upon it's quality. One "rr,n' of stock may be we'll washed and clean and an- other may be full of impurities. If can be filled to the cork so that the substance within has no oppor- tunity to wash against the sides, it is thought that it will not explode so easily as one which is three-quar- ters or seven-eighths full.
 It is an interesting sight to be- hold the nitroglycerin workers at their task. Usually the building wherein the stuff is made contains several huge wooden vats, few pails and barrels, an engine and a great iron kettlelike receptacle. This receptacle is called an "agita- tor" It consists simply of small kettle within large one. The space between the two is kept constantly filled with a stream of cold water. The inner kettle is fitted with sev- eral paddles turned by crank.
 One will see about 1,500 pounds of acids, sulphuric and nitric mixed, poured into the smaller kettle. A thin but continuous stream of glyc- erin slowly follows; the engine be- gins to pant, the crank revolves, the paddles churn the glycerin and acids, and the manufacture of the powerful explosive is under way.
 The flow of glycerin is controlled by a stopcock, the workman the while observing with unremitting vigilance the agitator and the ther- mometer that registers the heat of the perilous mixture.
 Nitroglycerin is formed by the action of nitric and sulphuric acids upon glycerin. When red fumes be- gin to show the greatest caution must be observed. They indicate that the oil is on fire, and should the mixture attain too great a de- gree of heat an explosion will fol- low. When the mercury in the ther- mometer attains 90 degrees c. it be- hooves one not to finger too long in a nitroglycerin factory. The stream of cold water constantly circulating about the base of the agitator keeps the mixture cool. In warm weather ice must be used.
 After leaving the agitator the product is placed in the drowning tank" Then it is transferred to other tanks and carefully washed. At the end of a period of four hours the milky, amber tinted nitroglycer- in is poured into rectangular tin cans. These cans are deposited in a huge iron safe, and the explosive is then ready for the market.
 Much nitroglycerin is used by oil we'll "shooters." The Shooting" of oil wells is the discharge of nitro glycerin at the bottom of the wells in order to increase their flow. Nitroglycerin, rather than the safer dynamite, is used because it can be exploded under water. - Harper's l Weekly.

Dinino by tho Shadow.

The most primitive of ancient Grecian methods of telling the time of day was by means of a shadow pointer. This was merely stick fixed in the earth, and the length of its shadow served to indicate the hour. Greeks were invited to dine "when the shadow is ten feet long" the length of course varying ac- cording to the time of year.

To clean glass put a little pow dered pumice stone between the layers of a folded piece of soft mus lin and stitch round the edges to prevent the powder from falling out. Rub lamp glasses or window panes with this dry cloth and they will be clean and sparkling almost immediately. Enough powder will remain in the cfoth for uss many times.
