"eooJ Luck" AmuIets.

Mr.. Edward Lovett, in lecture to
the members of the Folk Lore society,
explained his collection of amulets for
good luck used by fishermen on the
coasts Of the British islands. 1t was
with no small difficulty that he secured
his specimens and certified their his
tory. Luckily here and there he met
old men of the sea who had 10 longer
any direct personal interest in the
wares of BillingsGate; for 1t was an
unwritten law among the fishermen
that to communicate the nature of the
charm was to destroy its efficacy for
good luck. These charms were any.
thing but charming in themselves-oId

What Would You DO if You Fell Heir
to Three Hundred Millions?
Some time ago Il man was knock
ing" Andrew Carnegie for the crazy
idea of putting up all those libraries"
and finally for lacS of something else
to say, asked him casually: We'll,
what would You do If you had 300
millions dumped into your lap?"
He gulped once or twice, went into a
sort of trance, and finally said: WHY
Fd-Id-why. blamed f know"-and
then we talked about something else.
Since then the subject has crossed
my mind many times. and l am not
sure that the proper solution is any
nearer. If you ask the question of
ten of your friends, you will at first
get a funny answer from each OF
them:
Buy me a yacht and travel all the
time" Build the finest home in the
country" Bay all the pork and beans
in the world and throw them to
the fishes" etc, these being few of
the actual answers given me. After
ward. on reflection, each one will really
try to say what he would do. but the
human mind finds it difficult to com
prehend such an amount, or even the
interest on it, which at 3 per cent
would be S15,OOO,OO0 yearly.-Interna,

CHANCES of Climate,

A scientist who recently investigated
the causes of secular variations in tenn
perature at the earth'S surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes in the amount of carbOnic
acid in the atmosphere than TO vGria-
tons in the heat of the sun. If the
amount OF carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished a little
more than half the mean temperature
all over the earth would. it is stated.
drop about eight degrees. which would
be sufficient to bring on another glacial
period. On the other hand. an increase
of carbonic acid between two and three
times its present amount would raise
the mean temperature Is degrees and
renew the hot times of the eocene
epoch.-Boston Post

Feats of Strength by Which the Lady
Chooses Her Mate.
When two male elephants compete
for the cOmpanionship of female they
do not forget their dignity so far as to
fight for the lady. They simply face
each other squarely. Then one of
them pulls down a branch from Il tree
with his trunk and lays it at his feet.
The other takes a larger branch or
pulls up big shrub by the roots and
also lays it at his feet.
Number one then tackles still big
ger branch, and this strange competi-
ton goes on, turn and turn about
until at last the contestants try TO pull
down trees wholesale, and the one who
fails TO uproot his tree in turn is aban'
dOned by the lady elephant, who has
been an interested spectator of the
strange duel. She goes of with the
pOssessor of the largest tree. and the
vanquished elephant retires shame

This trial of strength species of
courtship is very remarkable when
contrasted with the ordeal OF battle
