Ivry's Novel Fire Alarm.

NJ. Jules Contant, the Mayor OF
Ivry, is taking precautions for the
safety of his jurisdiction against fire
which have not received unanimous
support. He has set up a powerful
siren, not at all unlike, as far as
sound goes, those in use on the great
liners. The alarm can be heard any.
where within a radius of six kilome-
ters. or nearly four miles. The APP
paratus is not worked by steam, but
by electricity. The principal ground
of objection to the Mayors proposals
seems to have been based on preju'
dice-that the siren sounded at night
would disturb the slumberers OF Ivry.
The Mayor, however, requires some
stronger reasons before he gives heed
to the malcontents.-London Daily

Chinese Superstition.

tors, We learn from French source,
re at their wits end for the educat-
ed Ce,esials share with the common
reople belief that the hygienic
measures and clinical treatment ad.
tooated by European surgeons are
e:igned to kill and not cure the peo-
pie. One of the legends which has
powerful influence over the people is
that the Europeans want the bodies,
more especially the eyes, for the pre-
raration of different medicines. More,
;orrible stories still are circulated,
nd it is said the native press is
auch to blame for not endeavoring to
edrcate the people up to an under.

surgical treatment.-London Globe.

A Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific Ocean covers $4,000, 900
miles, the Atlantic 90.0000O0 and the
indian, Arctic and Anarctic $4,000, 900.
To stow away the contents of the
Pacific it would be necessary to fill
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 44O
years. Put in figures the Pacific
holds in weight 100000, ,OOO, ,OOO,-
100000 tons. The Atlantic averages
a depth of not quite three miles. It's
". er weighs $4,000, 200, 900, 100000.
600 tons, and a tank to contain it
would have each of its sides 4SO
miles long. The figures of the other
oceans are in the same startling pro-
portions. 1t would take all the sea
water in the world 100000 years to
how over Niagara.-Fur News.

AWAKENED TRAIN OF THOUGHT
Little Incident That Would Have
Made Almost Any Man Super
stltIous.

Seeking to dispel the pangs OF lone
someness occasioned by the absence
OF his wife, who had been away for
several days visiting her parents in
another city, fashionable and WELL
known resident OF the East side in
vited number of his men friends to
his home one night last week to play
cards and clink glasses.
Being fond OF music the host en-
gagged a four-piece orchestra and while
his guests exchanged deals and raised
the cut glasses to their lips he found
more pleasure in reclining in favor
ite leather cushioned chair and listen
ing to the music.
1t was nearing the time for depar-
ture when one of the merry-makers
proposed that each guest drink toast
TO the host and that he respond. When
all had followed the suggestion they
turned toward the host. Tell us what
you are thinking OF your wife," one
suggested as the party giver hest
tated.
Raising his glass to level with his
lips be was about to respond. Il was
thinking and wondering"
Just at that moment the orchestra
began it's rendition OF Il Wonder
Who's kissing Her Now"
The guests never heard the re
sponse, but II they had fingered out
side and peered through the library
window they would have seen him
writing a letter which was later eu
closed in an envelope bearing a spe
cial delivery stamp. The contents oil
the message have not been made pub
lie, but the wife came home two days
later.-Kansas City Journal.

SOME APPLE TREE HISTORY.
Planted IS Years Ago, with Seeds
Brought from England.

Brought from England.
The oldest apple tree IN the Pacific
Northwest, planted ei<hty-five years
ago, by the early officers of the Hud-
sons Bay Company from seeds car
ried in their vest pockets from Eng.
land. has been discovered by A. A.
Quarnberg, district horticultural in
spector. and positively identified, The
tree is in front OF the chief commits
sary's office, in the southeast part of
this reservation.
Col. McGunnegle, commanding off,
Ger of this post, upon learning OF the
history of the tree, gave orders imme.
diately to have fence built around
Il. a tablet bearing "a short history
and every precaution taken to pre-.
serve 1t. Inspector Quarnberg says
the tree may live to be 100 years old.
The record of the tree vas written
by Mrs. Mary Whitman of Vancouver,
Wash, September ~. 1886.
Another record, it is thought by
Historian Bancroft, is:
AT a lunch party in London about
1925, given in honor of some young
gentlemen who were about to EN-
bark for Fort Vancouver in the eniv
ploy of the Hudson's Bay Company,
seeds of the fruit eaten were slyly
slipped by some young ladies into the
waistcoat pockets of the young men,
and upon their arrival at their des'
tination the young men in overhaul
ing their wardrobes discovered the
seeds and gave them to Bruce, the
gardener at the fort"
Originally there were three trees
which grew from these seeds, but the
two others have disappeared.-Van-

A Corner In Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monOp-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclu-
sive right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for fourteen years. A
year later, however, factory was
.tarted in Providence, R. l., and
within the decade there were eight
actories in New England and one in
Philadelphia Their output greatly
reduced the price of candles, which
not long before sold for five shillings
pound. In those days $l.25 was
- fully three times as much as

One very interesting contribution
to the April American Magazine is
a report showing exactly how Scien-
t:flc Management is working. Now
that agitation of the matter has
somewhat subsidized, definite results
have been obtained in factories
where the invention has been put in
to actual operation. One of the
cases reported is that of a Govern
ment Arsenal, where, since the adop-
ton Of Scientific Management, the
cost OF molds to the Government
(that is, to the people, has been re-
duced from $1.17 each to $54. The
daily earnings of the molder have
been increased from 1928 to $5.74.
What My Boy Knows" is the IL
tie OF a remarkable article written
by city father who, because of what
he has found out about his sixteen

A JEFF READER.
An enthusiastic audience that
tested the capacity of Marble Hall,
on the corner of Broad and McIn-
tosh streets, to its utmost, heard the
lecture on Convent Life, by Mrs. P.
A. Seguin. Thursday night Mrs Sc
gum is the wife Of ex-priest P A.
Seguin, of Stevens Point, Wis, who
has been subpoenaed here as wit
ness in the case against the Hon.
Thos. e. Watson, of Thomson, Ga,
charged with sending obscene mat
ter through the mails, and who is to
be tried here in the next term of
Judge Speer's court, which will con-
vene now shortly.
The matter referred to as obscene
is alleged by Mr.. Watson to be the
questions asked female penitents in
the Confessional of the Catholic
Church. They were printed in Latin
and taken from work which is used
as textbook by the Roman Catho-
lie theologians is the author. Mrs.
Seguin is a woman Or rare ability,
and the audience that heard her was
treated to an intellectual feast. She
claims to have been nun in the
Immaculate Conception of ST. Fran
els, in New York City, from whence
she escaped by means of rope, slid
ing from the second story of the
building to the ground, after she had
spent eleven years of her life there.
She is Irish by birth, and Mr.. Seguin
is French.
They left the city this morning
for Thomson, where it is supposed
they have gone to confer with Mr..
Watson concerning the pending case
against him. Mr.. Seguin announced
his disposition to address an audi
ence of men only, if he could secure
a hall large enough, as at the hall
where Mrs. Seguin lectured last
night every available inch of space
was taken up, and many were turned
back, account of not being able to
get it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seguin are engaged
