SCATTERED RACE

Every SO often the suggestion is
made to collect all the Jewish people
in one land and form great colony
Ia new Judea; but 1t would seem
that these plans can never be realized,
for few people know how greatly the
Jewish race is scattered over different
parts of the world
Recent statistics show that there
are nearly twelve million Jews In the
population OF the world, OF which some
three million reside in America; in
New York alone there are estimated
to be ,1,062.000 Jews The Jews in
Africa roughly number quarter of a
million; while Asia has twice as many
and Australia gives shelter to only
1900.
The bulk of the Jewish nation live
in Europe. where there are about eight
million Jews, of whom no fewer than
five million belong to Russia and a
million to Austria. Hungary and Ger
many have about a million Jews in
their united population; while latest
statistics return the Jews In Turkey
in Europe and Roumania as 100000
for each country.

DEADLY REvoLvERs

A wonderful addition to the efficacy
Of the revolver has been made by a

tached, and by the use of powerful
lenses and mirrors the glare OF the
circle light which the lamp throws Is
bright enough to be seen clearly in
daylight against suit OF light colored
clothing. Now. the center of the cir
Gle OF light marked by black spot. by
arrangement of the lenses. is exactly
the spot where the bullet will strike.
Thus all one has to do is to place the
black center of the blazing circle OF
light over the heart of an adversary
and pull the trigger.
At night the light is exceedingly
strong. Experiments with the new
weapon show that inexperienced per-
soDs who have never used a revolver
in their lives. can shoot far more ac-
curately than experts using an ordi-
nary pistol. Up to 60 yards one cam

cally, by levels. TO distances. The dead

ODD PROPOSALS

In Switzerland. among the remote
Alpine hamlets and villages, especial
ly in the Bernese Overland. there still
exist ancient and pretty customs of
proposing marriage by the language
OF flowers. II maid accepts a bou-
quet Of edelweiss from man she at
the same time accepts him as her
fiance. the idea being that the man
has risked his life to obtain the flow
ers for the woman he loves. Another
method which exists in the canton of
Glarus is for the young man to place
a fower-pot containing single rose
and note on the window-sili OF the
girls room when she is absent from
home and perhaps days-for a
reply. II the maid takes the rose the
young man boldly enters the house to
arrange matters with her parents, but
II the rose is allowed to fade away the
proposal is rejected without single
word having been exchanged between
the couple. Sometimes tickle girl

CORK LEG WINS A HUSBAND

A good story. which is said to be
true, is tod OF certain woman who
wasewooed and won for the sake or
her cork leg.
One day. not long after her mar
riage. she was. during her husbands
temporary absence. urged by curiosity
to open wardrobe that had always
been kept religlously fastened. and
found therein, to her horror, two
wooden legs. each of which was la
beled with the name of lady.
Filled with dismay, she sought some
mutual acquaintances, to whom she
confided her grewsome discovery only
to be assured that. although the false
limbs were indeed those of her hus-
bands two former wives, there was
no cause for alarm, for her husband.
who had originally welded one-leg-
ged lady. had been 30 happy in his
marriage chat, on her death. he had
vowed never to mate again save with
a wife similarly circumstance.
A short while afterwards he met a
lady who fulfilled the required stipu-
lation. Her he courted and won. His
second venture, even more delicious
than the first. had caused him, on his
beloved partners decease. to renew
his former VOW. the outcome OF which
was his present happy union. This
explanation Gained the wifes alarm,
for she now recognized that the
wooden legs were not only mementoes
OF past bat guarantees OF future hap
piness.

SNAKE SWALLOWING A FISH

While fishing in Big Raccoon creek.
near Bridgeton. Ind, John H. Jollien
had his attention attracted to big
snake on some rocks in the water.
With pole Mr.. Jollieff managed TO
get the snake out OF the water on a
large stone and was surprised to dis
cover that 1t was water moccasin
and from It's mouth protruded the tail
of good-sized fish. 1t took the enaka
long while to swallow his dinner. a
large catfish measuring fully eight
inches in length.
Fish have been known to play
tricks on snakes when the latter at
tempts to swallow them. A gentle
man once saw catfish spread its fms
go that the sharp ends penetrated the
snakes throat, and the fish stuck fast
therein Nobody knows whether the
fish, the snake or both. persisted from
that trick, as the snake escaped from
view before it could be caught.

their holiday arrangements before his
