Former Norwich Boy Speaks Osgood Memorial
 ticon Around Mission Station at Changsha, China Norwich Has Furnished Three of the Workers There.

college course to this The school has been held in some Chinese buildings so far, but money is raised and plans for 20 acre campus and new build ings. English and Chinese are both used in the course of study. Although educational in method. the school Is missionary in purpose and religious instruction is part of the course. There Is already change in the at titude of the pupils, which will be more marked under the republic. many of the leaders being Christians. A hospital was opened with the school and increased as rapidly in influence and usefulness. 10, 900 patients a year are being treated.
 StersoPticon Pictures
 With Dr. W. Tyler Browne's as- sistance MT, Leavens gave stereopu- con pictures showing the city of Chang sha and the summer retreat up on the mountain at Yu Sing. The river at Chang sha sometimes rises 1! feet in one day. There were also many pictures showing the present school buildings and the students, the hospital patients and Chinese medi- cal theories; and the proposed new buildings.
 Weraa Can Help Much.
 He spoke of the greater ease with which a woman physician can reach and help the women in China and Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson spoke of the We- mans league, an auxiliary to the Yale society now organizing to sup port a woman physician at the mis- sion and solicited members to her league. Mrs. Bella P. Learned spoke in favor of the league and promised to be the first to join.

There was a large attendance at the Osgood memorial on Friday even ing of members of all the Eongrega- tinal churches to listen to the inter estfng address given by Dickson H. Leayens of Yale upon the Yale Mis- sion in Chang sha, China
 Rev: pr. Howe, who introduced MT Leavens said that Norwich has an es- pecial interest in this mission as 1t has furnished three of the workers there-more than has any other place.
 Due to N. F. A. Graduate.
 MT Leavens also added that it was due to a N. F. A. graduate Of 1888 that the mission was invited to Hu- nan province and settled at Chang sha. The idea first started Is years ago, when several Yale men going to China joined forces. for more effective work and for arousing interest in other Yale men. They were so sue cessful that 10 years ago the Yale corporated with 40 members. This so- ciety sends men to the mission and raises $20, coo a year for it's support Though not officially connected with Yale, it has the colleges endorsement. The plan of work is educational as that is the most important in a eoun- try like China and most natural for a university to do.
 Chang sha the Capitol.
 It was fortunate in locating in Chang siaa which is the capitol of an anti foreign province where work of this kind is brand new and not in eeHpe- tition with any other mission. The people are pure Chinese and are some of the finest and most talented in the country. But, on account of no pre- vious work having been done there, it was impossible to begin with a regular college courEe as planned, as there were no students ready for that.
 Five Year Preparatory CcurEe.
 So they started in 1905 with a five year preparatory course and expect next year G91D to add a three year

Electric Power Produced in the United
 States.

Twelve billion horsepower-that is the combined electrical power output of the 7.500 central stations in the United States. And that Is not one- half of the total electrical power pro- duced in the United States. The twelve billion total includes only pub lie service companies and does not include the great steam railroad and manufacturing companies which pro- total power thus produced is easily double the output of the central sta tions.
 It is a little difficult for the mind to grasp what such vast amounts of power really mean. Take it this way The largest standard locomotives which pull the fastest passenger trains are rated at about 5000 horse power. It would take nearly 5000, 900 of these big locomotives to equal the energy produced by American cleo trieal power stations. Take the big gest transatlantic liner, nearly 1000 feet long, with it's engines rated at 10000 horsepower. To equal the elec- trica1 power output of the United States would take 342.s57 of these liners, with a combined length that would reach more than twice around the globe.
 The figures of the census of 1910 on the electrical industry are astounding and yet these statistics are admitted ly Incomplete It is estimated that the total business in electrical ma chinery in the United States was in the nefghborhood of $500 900 900 for 1912. This estimate seems conserva- tive in view of the fact that the last census reported the total business for 1909 at s243, 900. 900.

DAVIS THEATER CATS.
Cashier Davenport Trains One to Rake in Nieke4s-Joseohine Adds Her Family to the House Staff.

Josephine, the black cat at the Day- Is theatre, has increased the staff at the theater this week by a family of three kittens. She proudly display Cd the newborn trio on the rug under the desk in the office Only one a h1a. k duplicate of its mother, will be allowed to grow up.
 Josephine is the cat which wandered Ia end took up its home at the the- Ter on the opening right this s.+as "a, and hs consequently ever since beel4 looked upon as the mascot o{ th ! Eoase
 By that strange intuition which ss often noticed in animals, Josephine g seemed to knew she would find d friend in Cashier William Davenpo4 ', and she immediately struck up a friendship for him when he came here from PaWc1ssuck. She has ever since had the run of the office He has a special liking for animal pets. and an aptitude in training them.
 Recently he had a small kitten at the box office which was tn line for a place as assistant cashier. By spin ming n1ckels in front of her on the glass slab he had the kitten trained to reach out with her paw and sweep them off into the change box. With the kitten at his elbow at ticket sell ing time he would sit at the window, and as soon as a customer deposited a piece of money on the slab swish would come kittys paw and the mon ey would land in the box
 The clever kitten has disappeared now, and it is presumed that some one who admired the trick has picked her up and carried her off
 Some years ago. when working in Providence, Cashier Davenport went by the name of Doe" from the skill he showed in fitting a wooden leg to a friendless cat By means of a clothes pins which he fastened to the cats stump of leg, he fitted her out for travelling almost as good as new, and Peggy as the cat came to be called. was long an object of great interest to many who heard of the cat that walk ed with a wooden leg.

Recipes for Wrinkles
 and Bad Conplexions
(From Arr and Nature)

Of all the beauty recipes in my scrar book, here are two that have always given complete sa tiSfaction
 Wrinkle Remover-One ounce DOW dered saxo1ite. dissolved in 1z pint witch hazel. Use as a wash lotion n brings instantaneous results.
 Face Peeler-Pure mercolized wax applied at night like cold cream. only Ing. It causes the worn-out scarf skin to come off in tiny, almost invisible flakes, a little each day, until the fresh young under skin Is wholly in evil dence. The beautiful rose tinted com plexion thus obtained Is not to be com pared with one made over with cos Tnetics. If the old skin is marred with freckIes, pimples or other blemishes, these defects are of course disca arded with the skin itself An ounce of the wax is sufficient in any case
 The ingredients named are inexpen- sive and can be found in any drug store-Leuise Leblanc.

The Marseillaise.

The famous battle hymn known as the ''Marseillaise" is generally attributed to Rouget de Lille, a French engineer ollices who, it is said. composed it in l192 to cheer up the conscripts at Strasburg It derived its name from d body of troops from Marseillan march 1g into Paris playing the tune. The piece became instantaneously popu- lar. and from that day to this it has never failed, wherever sung or played, to arouse the martial ardor of the hearers to the highest pitch. As an inspiration for fighting it is beyond doubt the most successful musical composition ever known. The author of the immortal piece was pensioned by Louis Philippe in 1880 and died in 1S36.-New York American.

Fish That Cannot Swim.

More than one species of fish is met with that cannot swim, the most singular of which is the nal the, a Brazilian fish, whose orgAns of locomotion only enable it to crawl or walk or hop after the manner of a toad, to which animal this fish to some extent bears a resemblance. It is provided with long, upturned snout. Other examples of nonswim- ming fishes include the sea horse, an- other most peculiarly shaped inhab- itant of the sea, and the starfsh, of which there are many specimens, which walk and crawl on the shore and rocks, both being unable to swim.

BLACK DIAMONDS.
Their Origin Riddle That Science
 Seems Unable to Solve.

Seems Unable to Solve.
 Genuine black diamonds, although considerably more valuable than the ordinary white diamond, are not used for gems, having an appear ance no more attractive than a bit of stone or fragment of coal, being dark gray, brownish or black in color and opaque, without crystal line form. They are somewhat harder than the crystal or gem dia- mond, being, in fact, about the hardest substance known and are found in irregular pieces ranging in size from one-half to 800 carats.
 The origin of the black diamond is a subject on which science re- mains silent. They are found in but one spot on the earth-an area of not over 225 miles square, in Brazil. Here they are recovered from the gravel and washings of the river beds. No fine specimens of the gem diamond have ever been found in the black diamond fields. Yet-and this is the point over which science has vainly puzzled both black and white or gem dia monds are simply pure carbon, be- ing of practically identical compo- sition. The gem diamond Is trans lucent and crystalline in form. while the other is not. The black dia- mond is harder, tougher and not so brittle, and there the difference ends.
 Practically the entire output of black diamonds is used for tipping diamond drills, the precious bits of carbon being set in pieces of soft steel or iron. These diamond point ed drills will cut through any sub stance known and have eaten their way through the hardest known rock down to depth of 6,000 feet. Ordinary gem diamonds would be crushed under the enormous pres sure it is necessary to put upon the drills when the bore has gone to great depth. No substance is known which could be used in place of the black diamonds for drill points used in boring for mineral deposits. and should the supply become exhaust ed there would be no more deep borings, as there were none before the black diamond was discovered.
 The diamond drill is a decidedly expensive tool. as it is usual to place eight stones in each bit or drill point, and fair sized stones of three to four carats each are more satisfactory and economical in the long run than small ones. As the carbon is worth about $S5 per carat, a single drill armed with stones of medium size would cost in the neighborhood of &, ,500.-Har- per's Weekly.
