 Mount sAthos is unlikely ever to be turned into an island again, as it was by Xerxes. The canal which he cut through the isthmus was regarded as a myth even in the time of Juvenal, but traces of ftsare still in existence
 One circumstance of it's construction. recorded by, HeroGOtus. may help to explain why it was three years busi- ness to cut this canal of less thdn twelve furlongs- Nearly all the peo- pIes employed by Xerxes dug straight down, with the result that the sides continually fell in.' thus doubling their work The Phoenicians. with their su- perior intelligence. began excavating at R breadth much greater than the canal Itself was to occupy, so as gradually 30 narrow with a convenient slope as Ehey dug down.

FIRE AT SNYDER PLACE

The fact that the Stratford fire de- partment was not sent for until much time had been lost trying to get in cost George Snyder of the north end several hundred dollars yesterday, for while he was trying in vain to induce the Bridgeport department to send their apparatus way up into the woods in the northern end of the town where he lives a shack which he owned and which contained valuable farm imple- ments and produce, was burning to the ground.
 The shack caught fire about three O clock yesterday afternoon but it was a half hour afterwards before the To- cal department was notified of the fact. The a,uto-chen1ical responded to the call when it was finally sent in but there was nothing to do as the shack had been consumed.
 Moral: In case of fire telephone for the Stratford Fire department first. Unless the fire is a very serious one and the local department unable to cope with 1t the Bridgeport depart rnent will not respond even when called upon In any event. the Bridgeport chief must first get permission from two of the fire commissioners before he can send any apparatus out here from Bridgeport. The Stratford de- partment if called innned lately a. fire is discovered is sure to get to the scene long before the Bridgeport depart ment can possibly do so under the cir cl1mstances.

 Artificial ears are so sdllfully made that they may with difficulty be dis t1nguished from natural ones. it is claimed When the Individual who has lost an ear applies to the manu- facturer for a substitute, there is made a mold of the renaiHias esr. If there be left any part of the other mold of 3tat part also must be taken to assist Nm the fitting of the artificial. Manu- facturers assertt that no two ears are alike and that it takes 9 -skillful work man to preparefan ear from the mold or molds.

How to Unearth a seot.

"A Scot, commenting on the fact that Scottish" as a term of reproach has disappeared from Scottish schoolbooks. makes the curious contention that there is only one locution now in which Englishmen discern a Scotsman's pen in the uncertain use of .'shalP' and "wiIl-' And even there, he says. it has to be admitted that the English Bible often shows the same uncertain ty. The name of the locutions by which the pen of a@Scot can be fn- falIibIy detected is legion. and Scots are fully aware of this. For example. Scots stin write of certain horse drawn vehicles as machines and puzzle us by references to the t'policies'' of cas- ties and country. houses. They ''homol- ogate.'' too. do the writing Scots; al1ude to prisoners as panels take much to 'avizandum" and ''compear'' their wit nesses in law case.-London TatIer.

HoIu sAMara hv MnaIanaa-

There has been no universal war by Moslems on unbelievers since the early days of Mohammedanisna. It has been supposed that only the car Iiph, an office now claimed bysthe sul- tans of Turkey, can order general war or jihad, but as the Persfans and the Moors, who are Mohammedans, do not acknowledge the spiritual author1- ty of the Ottoman sultan and look to their own rulers for their cue in such case, it is not at all likely that there will ever again be jihad. Holy wars have been proclaimed by the mahdis, as was the case in the Sudan in 1882, when Chinese Gordon was murdered at Khartum, but there has been no gen era1 war between the followers of the prophet and the infidel dogs since the early times when Mohammed was esta blishing his power.-ArgOnaut.

 Staudigl answered promptly and truthfully, "Lablache is the best.''
 Marini replied. ''T will not. say who is the first basso, but I am sure La bIache is the second.''
 LabTache modestIy responded. ''If staudigl were not here I certainly would claim the lead"
