New Time System PuzzIss.

The use of the new twenty-four hour time system in France is likely to give rise to some rather curious re. suits One of these is brought out b. A. De Mortellet, and relates to the striking Of the hour.
 it will not be very practical to use tUe7ty-four strokes or less in succes, sion. aS these would be very difficult to count after a certain point. The number of strokes should therefore be reduced in some way.
 He proposes using a double chime, orc bell for units and the second for tens. the two bells to have a different tone. Or else with a single bell rapid strokes would show the tens, and slow strokes the units. hsft A
 With two bells, one bell gives strokes up to nine. The second bell rings once for ten. For eleven, the first bell rings once and the second once, and so on in the decimal sys. tenn. For twenty, the first bell rings twice. and so on.

Woman May Ely Ocean.

Miss Ruth Bancroft Law and her brother, F. Rodman Law, are to try a flight across the Atlantic in a biplane. They expect to make the trip in July.
 .The flight will be from Newfound- land to the Irish coast said Miss Law today, and shall take my brother
 l do not think there is the slightest doubt that We can do it. We shall carry no pontoons or boats, but under the wings of our machine we will have three floats of hollow tin, so in case of a fall the apparatus will float.
 Boats would be too heavy to carry, and in ease we fell they would be of no use in the ocean. Then, again by not carrying them we get away from just so much weight We shall have to carry from 90 to 100 gallons of gasoline, and this wifi be enough for about 30 hours flying. We expect 10 make 100 miles an hour on our way across. Lord Northcliffe has offered 9 prize for the successful flight across the Atlantic, and we are after It."

DELvER INTO NATURE
AMATEUR GARDENER CRANK OF
 THE HARMLESS VARIETY.
Does No Injury, and If the Fates Are With Him Possibly May Do Little Good in This Sordid
 Old World.

When you meet a man now who has g furtive. faraway look in Gls eyes do not get the impression that he has robbed a bank or is planning some such escapade, for the chances are that he is only an amateur gardener preparing to plant his back yard patch. An amateur garden crank, it should be known, Is about the most harmless creature on earth. the Okla. homa Times states.
 There are many advantages in be ing a garden crank instead of being an automobile fiend or a chicken raiser. All that is necessary to be a garden crank is two seed catalogues. g dimes worth of seed. hoe. a small plot of ground and much enthusiasm. To be a chicken raiser one must have at least a chicken house and a half dozen chickens, besides subscribing for a chicken paper or more dignified poultry journal
 Chicken raisers who have. ali the equipment necessary to be placed in the class of chicken cranks' have also q large equipment of small live stock. together With the roup and other chicken ailments. that gives chicken raisers so much to talk about. Of course, few eggs are necessary to give chicken raisers complete hap piness. An egg a week. however, will keep ono interested for months
 The amateur gardener should be E- ll nus offered and a large number Of prizes. It requires only a small plot of ground on which to raise a large amount of garden truck" Few per. sons who have not acquired the gar den habit realize the joy of seeing the first little plantlet come through the dirt
 Much depends upon the quality of the seeds used. Even the most en- thusiastic naturalist should not ex- pect to get good strong plants from seeds several years old or of a good quality. Nature is pretty generous where gardens are concerned, but even nature cannot overcome the handicap of poor seeds.
 There are many vegetables which even the most amateurish ana. teur should not attempt to grow in town. For instance. potatoes for a family of six cannot be grown from a by 10 garden bed, but on this same space, with proper proportion, plenty of onions. radishes, parsley, letture, and perhaps another vege. table or two may be raised.

New Gun Makes "pesd shots.g 9

A French inventor has made 6 frightful addition to the efficacy of the revolver. A small but powerful cleo. tric light is attached to the mechan- ism of pistol of ordinary size. By use Of lenses and mirrors the glare of the circle Of light which the lamp throws is bright enough to be clearly seen in daylight against so dark an object as a light colored suit of clothes.
 Now the center of the circle of light, marked by a black spot by arrange ment Of the lenses. is exactly the spst where the bullet will strike. Thus ali he has to do is to place the black cen ter of the blazing circle of light over the heart of an adversary and pull the trigger.
 At night the light is shockingIy strong. Experiments with the new weapon show that perfect greenhorns, who have never used a revolver in their lives, can shoot far more accu- rately than experts using an ordinary pistol.
 Up to SO yards one cannot miss a small bulIs-eye, day or night, while extremely accurate shooting is possi- bls up to 100 yards. The lamp ar. Tangement adjusts automatically, by levels to distances.

Liaht Plant Runs Itself.

An automatic electric lighting plant. designed for private house use. is mounted on two cross girders for con venient portability. and comprises an oil engine. dynamo, automatic start ing switch and water tank
 The small battery also supplied has a capacity much below that of the charging plant. The apparatus is so designed that while the battery is charged and not at work the engine is at rest, and 1t continues at rest while the lamps turned on are being fed sufficiently by the stored carrent.
 But when the battery voltage falls below a certain point the automatic switch sets the machinery in motion. The starting current-quickly cut off by time-limit circuit breaker-tarns the dynamo, and this starts the en- zine, which runs as long as needed.
 When the lessened use of current permits the battery to become suff- ciently charged the switch stops the engine.

More British Doctors.

By a change in the bylaws of the Royal College of Physicians in Lon. don, made in December last, says the British Medical Journal (LOndou) the number of persons entitled to use the title of Doctor" in Great Britain has been largely increased, although, cuTiously enough, the number of qualified physicians remains precisely the same. The fact is that until this change all British physicians were not entitled to be called Doctor" Only those who had received the doctorial degree from a university were so en titled The Royal college gives diplo mas to its graduates, but has no pow CT to confer degrees. To the ordinary citizen, however, a physician is a Doctor" degree or no degree; and the British apostles of red tape have been obliged to bow to the popular will. The Royal College of Physicians of London, by the alteration in its by laws, has recognized this fact.

ALL FEAR THE MANTIS
INSECT, FOR ITS SIZE, HAS NC
 EQUAL IN THE WORLD
Rsmsrkable Attitude of Prayer While in Wait for Prey Has Made It Unique Among Creeping
 Things of Earth.

Most persons know the praying man. Es--that large. greenish, grasshopper, like insect which holds up adoFing arms as if venerating some deity of the woods. or making an invocation an oracle among insects, as the old Greeks thought it. But these atti. tudes of prayer conceal the most atroeious habits; these srpplieating arms, to fall into Fabre's picturesque phrasing, are lethal weapons; these fingers tell no rosaFies, but exist to seize the passer-by. Although msm. Der of a vegetarian family, the mantis feeds exclusively upon it's living prey. 1t is a tiger in ambush; and If only It had sufficient strength it's ogrish ap. petite and it's horrible facility of con. cealment by color and form among the green leaves where peaceful insects travel would make it the terror of the countryside
 At first glance it does not look very terrible. It's neck Is flexible and it can turn it's head and look with sharp eyes in all directions, but no formidable jaws alright a victim. In it's power. fuI uplifted forelimbs lies the hidden danger, the cruel trap. Each long thigh, shaped like a fiattened spindle carries on the forward half of it's low CT face a double row of steely spines alternately long and short; and three needls.ike spikes, longest of all. rise behind the parallel rows, between which the fore leg lies when folded in prayer" This fore part of the leg is similarly armed, but with smaller spikes, and terminates in hook with a blade like a pruning knife and a tip as sharp as a needle. Handle the insect incautiously, and this arma ment discovers itself to you instantly, thrusting it's needles and blades into your flesh, gripping you in stinging wise and forcing you to crush it to get free,
 When the mantis is in repose these weapons are folded and pressed against the chest, showing nothing of their ferocity The bandits sword is sheathed and it seams at it's devotions But let a victim come within reach and the ruse-if ruse it be-is abandoned ike flash. The three long joints of the deadly forelimbs straighten and shoot out their talons, which strike the victim like the unsheathed claws of cat and drag it back be tween the saws of the thighs. The wise closes with an upward motion, as a man would bring his hand up to his shoulder, and no cricket. grasshopper, beetle or spider can struggle out of the crook of that terrible elbow Harber's Weekly.

NOW FUrUalsT FACE POWDER
Mavve. YeiIsw and Green Tinss Made by Fsshion's Leaders From
 Pearl Dust.

The post-impressionist artists, paint ing. as they do. mauve, yellow, greer and brown flesh tints. have given q new idea to manufacturers of cos metics.
 The fashionable woman may now tint her complexion in any tone as easily as she may assume a toilette ir that color. One manufacturer is show ing face powders in shades called vio let yellow. emerald. old rose and ashen rose.
 These new tiEts are recommended only for evening wear. as 1t is gener ally admitted that they would be toe grotesaue for daylight. The amazing thing, however, is that they really look well on the skin, and when ap piled give only the faintest sugges. tion of shadowy color. Thus, when the mauve powder is sed, the shad ews have sort of purple bloom. which Is rather becoming and lends softness 10 the face, accentuating in small de gree the expression of the eyebrows and eyelashes, and also intensifyins the color of the eyes. The purple tint is usually recommended for bru. nettes with blue or gray eyes.
 Yellow powder is fattering to blondes. who need to intensity the vel low in their skins to correspond with the shadows cast from golden hair This intensiies the type and makes it much warmer looking. therefore much harmonious than if the face were tint. ed with either white or solcaIled flesh. colored powder
 The most difficult of all the new shades to conceive as having a place among beauty applications is the green powder. But through demonstration it is proved that certain types of col. bring look we'll with the green tint, notably ashen blondes who have the reflection of green lights from the hair. This is also recommended for types too fiorid, whether blonde or brunette. It is said to give a cool, clean look to such skins.
 The rose color is not at all the old fashioned flesh pink, but a sort of salmon tinted old rose This Is a color which would be we'll suited to a neutral brunette. as it would warm the type, giving body and a look of strength to the skin and consequent -healthlike flush.
 It is an interesting fact that these new cosmetics are made from powder of real pearls, discovery of somewhat recent date, though for some time in quite current use in Paris.

1ime.reIIinn Inventions.

It seems that the invention of clocks and watches was not the fruit of a single discovery, but was really slow growth, side by side with many other advances in civilization, and of course the earliest clocks and instruments were sun dials.
 The invention of the sun dial is generally attributed to a Grecian as tronomer who dI5d about 547 B. c.
 The dial was followed by the hour glass. and this by the water clock, which marked time by the escape of water through an orifice. These were introduced into Rome about 15s B. c. but are believed to have been in use in Chaldea and Egypt for a hundred years previous to that date.
