Makes Them Look Pleasant.

The, French police have a way of their own of handling criminals who object to being photographed. Instead of piling half dozen detectives on the Dbstreperous rascal, getting all con- eerned. red eyed and heated, the French detectives carefully strap the sinner to a large wooden cross. His arms and legs are made fast, large surcingle surrounds his middle, and his chin is propped at the right angle. Then the strapped individual is carried to the photograph gallery in the police sta ton. the light is turned on, the photog- rapher focuses his camera, lights a cigarette and sits down to wait No matter how desperate the man under arrest may be, the time will come when from sheer fatigue he will permit his features to slip back to their proper place. Then-click-the trick is turn ed.-Kansas City Star.

TuskIess Elephants,

It is singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks. They have miserable little grubbers project Ing two or three inches from the upper jaw and inc1ining downward, Noth- Ing produces either ivory or horn in dne specimens throughout CeyIon.. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads. they will not bear comparison with those of other countries The horns of the native cattle are not above four inches in length. The elk and the spotted deer's antlers are small compared with deer of their size in India This is the more singular as it is evident from the geological formation. that at some re mote period Ceylon was not an island, but formed a portion of the mainland. It is thought that there must be ele ments wanting in the CeyIon pastur- age for the formation of ivory.

Zinc and CaIc;+e.

"A novel use is made of the mystical ultra violet ray'' of the electric light by the workers in the zinc mines and mills. The ore carrying the zinc, known as silicate of zinc, is of gray tsh hue, Identical in color with the bar ren rock which surrounds the ore de posits, known as calcite. The zinc ore Is separated from the calcite by me chanieal means of a concentratingIt Ita- ble, upon which the ore settles apart from the calcite. To the human eye, however, the line between the rich ore and the worthless calcite as they lie on the table is utterly indef1nable. But when the ultra violet ray from an electric light is turned upon the mass the zinc ore, hitherto gray in color, ap- pears a deep turquoise blue, while the color of the calcite remains the same The separation can then be made by even an unskilled workman of ordinary eyesight.-New York Tribune.

Joaquin Miller ana New York.

Describing New York as it was when Joaquin Miller first saw it, and Miller when New Workers first beheld him, a writer in the New York Evening Post says, '"That was the period when the gossips were thrilled on learning that Mark Twain helped himself to olives with fork, when Bryant, his white beard flowing out over the folds of long Spanish cloak, moved through the bustling streets in scholarly ab- straction, and Whitman set his. verse to the rumble of a Broadway omni- bus. It was against this background that Miller, poet of the Sierras,s pro jected himself on his first tour of the east. He played the lion for a season, coming to evening parties in a velvet cen coat, corduroy trousers and a bril- liant scarlet neckde. The tawny hair on his head and face gave him the out ward appearance of a human sunburst Thus equipped for action and having selected a divinity for his homage, he would throw himself on the drawing room floor at her feet, resting on one elbow and devouring her beauty with his eyes, while he recited for her bene- fit appropriate passages of his own verse;

A TantenzIne Arctic Dream.

Speaking on the subject of his three years expedition to the icy regions of northeast Greenland, Captain Mikkel- sen told of his dreams of sandwiches. When the food supply was giving out, said the explorer, the members of the expedition dreamed of food at night. This is not an uncommon experience among those who have had, from .vari- ous causes to go short of the fuel nee essary to keep the power going in the human machine, as various records testify. For much the same reason the troubled sleep of the toper is visit ed toward morning by visions of cool ing bevera ees.
 The explorer related that one night he dreamed of a large plate of EfbeauL tiful sandwiches" but when he ap- preached them he found that they were inclosed with glass, and he could not get at them. Another time he saw in dream a plate of sandwiches GOV cred with newspaper, but when he took away the newspaper he found another one and still another and could never get to the food.-London Globe.

Welded to Vase.

Not long ago considerable com1no- tion was caused in the Chinese city of Hankow when the attractive and popu- lar daughter of a prominent Chinese official was married with great pornp and ceremony to large red vase which was supposed to represent de ceased bridegroom who had died few years before his marriage, whereupon his grief stricken bride elect declared that she would never marry any one els4, but would devote herself as a widow for the rest of her life to the family of her husband. Tn order to do tIlis. however, it was necessary that she should legally belong to that fam fly, and so the strange ceremony with the vase was gone through with. to ena- ble her to become a member of the family. Since then it has been sug
 gested that an arch should be built in the city in order to commemorate the devotion of the young girl. to the hus- band she never had.-Chicago Tribune.

Riaht and Left Handed Plants.

Do you know that there are right handed and left handed plants? An English investigator, R. H. Compton, has thought the matter curious and 1n- teresting enough to make it the sub ject of extended investigation and has reported on it to the Cambridge Philo- sophicaI society. He observed. eight varieties of two rowed barley to de termine the ratio of rights and lefts, in the first, leaves of seeds of different varieties and of the various kernels from the same individual spikes. and found, that among 12,4O1 seedlings 7,237, or 5S.36 per cent, had the f1rst leaf twisted to the left. A variety of miIlet showed an excess of left handed seedlings, as was also the case with oats. In the case of corn the ratio was almost unity, and there was ap- parently mo inheritance of right and left handedness as such.'-Sc1entifc American.

HAWLEY LIKELY TO BE REIMBURSED Senator Brandegee Offers Special Bill to Protect U. S.
 Marshal President NOminates. Three Con- necticut POstmasters-Tex-
 tile Co.'s Exhibit
By Our Special Corres.)

Washington, May 23-It looks as though United States Marshal Sidney B. Hawley was going to be successful
 in fighting a tangle that it appears the department of justice got him into back in 1911 and in 1912. He allowed
 two baiIiffs' fees for field work as deputy marshals after getting the ap-
 provaI of the department of justice to
 allow them to do the work. Now the
 department of justice has notified the
 marshal that there is a. statute against
 compensating bailiffs for work done as
 marshals. Senator Brandegee has of
 fered a special bill authorizing the ac-
 counting officers of the treasury to re-
 imburse the marshal for the money
 paid to the bailiffs, amounting to over $1, 900.
 The marsha1(wa here yesterday and | appeared before the subcommittee of
 the Senate Judiciary committee, con SiSting of Senators OVernan, Fletcher and Sutherland. He offered evidence to show that at a crucial time in the affairs of the office the only field mar l shal in the employ of the of1ce was taken i'll and that it was necessary to have the baiIiffs of his staff perform the work, He showed his authoriza- tion from the department of justice to have the bailiffs perform the work. When the time came to reimburse the marshal for the fees paid, the vouchers of the marshal were disal- 1OWSO ny LIE dSpdSI I1A4SI1L 1O1 l44O dl1- ference between the fees of bailiffs and the fees of deputies, as the bailiffs had only been paid the fee of the deputies. The subcommittee mem-
 bers expressed an opinion that the
 claim is a just one as the marshal
 had acted under the instruction of the
 department in having the work done.
 and will recommend to- the full com mittee that the bill pass.
 The bill provides for the payment of EJox to Selah G. Blakeman, the former
 bailiffs, although they have already
 been paid, and in case the bill is de
 feated the loss will come out of the pocket of the marshal.
 Both deputies are now deputy mar shals with salaries of $500 per annum and without fees, the fee system hay ing been disestablished.
