WELL TWENTY MILES DEEP

Perhaps the most idiotic of all the
many idiotic schemes with which Brit
ons have been enamored in days gone
by was that which was at the time
of Brailes big well. NJ Braile was
a Belgian engineer, residing tempo
rarily in this country, who, in 184S.
approached the then prime minister
(Lord John RusselD, with scheme
for sinking huge shaft, a mile in
diameter and 20 miles in depth, that
should tap the earth's internal heat,
and thereby render England independ.
ent Of her coal supply when this gave

ed by visionary projects, attentively
considered the scheme, and caused
plans and estimates to be drawn up.
The first difficulty was the thrush of
water, which would have been GER
tain to occur sooner or later. This it
was proposed to keep under by pump
ing. caissons being used for the pur.
pose of further excavation, while the
finished portion of the shaft was to be
rendered watertight by a Jacket" of
granite set in Portland cement.
Mad as the scheme was, it found
plenty of advocates, and provisional
bill had been. 1t was said, actually
drafted, when the overthrow of the
government on the franchise question
was announced, and the whole bust.
mes was thenceforth consigned to a
well-merited oblivion.

na Nlncrs Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa of Leonardo da
Vinci represents Madonna Lisa" a
Neapolitan, wife of Zanobi del Clio
condo. from whose name the painting
is also known as La Gioconda. The
subtle. battling expression is of a kind
that the artist particularly delighted
in. and here brought nearest to perfec-
ton. The painting was finished by
Leonardo in 1906. It is said that he
worked on it for four successive
years and used to have music played
while his model was sitting in order
that the expression which he wished
to render might not disappear from
her face
Francis /. OF France bought the
painting from the artist for 1000 gold
florins, and ever since it has been in
the possession of France. Until it was
stolen recently 1t was one OF the most
renowned treasures Of the Louvre gal
lery in Paris. 1t has inspired numer-
pus authorities on art to rapturous
outbursts OF praise, among which the
most celebrated is that Of the English
critic, Walter Pater.

BANDED Jokes WITH KINGS

Voksd, Sometimes Very Much at
Their Own Expense.

Thomas Carlyle observed that
kings are III to Joke WI" but there
have nevertheless been plenty OF jok-

been rulers with a well developed
sense OF humor. such as Charles H.,

Of his reputed skill in naval architec-
ture, and, no doubt. by this query
sought n compliment. But Killigrew,
who was nothing Of courtler, re-
piled instead:

majesty would do better at any trade
than your own"
A lively example OF French retort
to royalty Is afforded by the story Of
Marshal Bassompierre and Louis
XIII. The marshal had given his ma
jesty an account OF his embassy to
Spain, setting forth the manner in
which he had entered the Spanish cap.

Good old Queen Bess, II appears,

WARS CAUSED BY TRIPLES

Many times it has happened that a
great and costly war has been brought
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous. Thus the war of the Span
ish succession is said to have been
caused through a glass of water A
lady, Mrs. Masham. was carrying
glass of water, when she was OBJ
structed by the Marques de Torey. A
slight scuffle ensued, and the water
was split, The marques thereat took
offense and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war
was declared
AS absurd in its origin was the war
that took place during the common
wealth Of Modena. A soldier stole a
bucket from a public well belonging
to the state of Bologna. Although the
value of the article did not exceed 30
cents, its annexation was the signal
for a fierce and prolonged war Hen
ry, the king of Sardinia, assisted the
Modenese to retain the bucket, and
in one Of the subsequent battles he
was made a prisoner. The bucket Is
still exhibited in ;he tower of the
cathedral Of Modcna.
A third instance of a war resulting
from a trifing cause was that be-
tween Louis VII. of France and Henry
II. Of England The archbishop of
Rouen decreed that no one should
wear long hair upon the head or chin
Louis submitted to the decree, where
up his wife, Eleanor, rallied him
upon his appearance. A quarrel en-
sued, which resulted in the dissolution
of the marriage and Eleanor's mar
riage with Henry. By this marriage
the broad domains in Normandy, for
merly belonging to Louis, passed into
the possession of Henry. Louis, hotly
made an attack on Norman
dy, and henceforth for nearly three
hundred years were waged those dew
wars which cost France up
wards of 100000 lives.

-znn .nnn Munkrata.

It is not generally known that the
nuskrat is the most importank fur
bearing anirlal OF North America. In
one year alone (191O) 5,500000 musk
rat skins were put upon the market
realizing to the trappers a sum ap-
proximately s1,7OOOOO. A large per-
centage Of the muskrat catch is fur
nished by the tidewater region OF Ma
ryland. Delaware and New Jersey. In
Dorchester county, Maryland, the
marshes are usually leased to the trap
per for half the value Of the catch. In
that county some 250,000 skins are ta-
ken annually, says Harper's Weekly.
Not only fur of the muskrat is used
but the meat also, which finds a local
consumption and is shipped to Balti-
more. Wilmington and other cities. 1t
is surprising to learn that the finan-
cial return exceeds that of the large
oyster industry of the same region.
The fur OF the black musTat com
mands the highest price, and in Dor
chester county some of the marshes
yield fully one-half OF this variety.

SPARROW CAUSES DEATH

An English sparrow caused the
death OF Sam Park Of New York,
steeplejack, at Detroit. Park was
painting a sign three stories in the
air and wanted to get to the roof for
u brush He climbed from the staging
on which he was working to the roof
OF another building, and from there
started TO cross to the higher roof by
going hand over hand along a wire.
He was about half way between the
two buildings when a sparrow few in
his face. The bird, apparently bewil-
dered, sank its claws into Parks face
in an attempt to poise a moment be-
fore resuming its fight. Park tried
with one hand to brush the bird away
and his other hand slipped. He fell
TO the ground. breaking his neck and

RABBITS FATAL COLLISION

A method of hunting by which
hunters can avoid shooting each other
to death was discovered by chance
while George Mills and William Swift
were. out cunning for rabbits near
Waynesboro, Pa. Guns will not be
required by the new method.
1t happened that when Mills and
Swift routed a rabbit, a party several
hundred yards away also raised one.
Pursued by dogs. the two bunnies
took courses toward each other,
through a path so narrow they could
not turn out when they met.
AS they were running at a speed OF
about sixty miles an hour, the rabbits
collided head-on, with such impact
that their brains were butted out, and
both hunting parties had their game
without firing a shot.

GEESE ARE LUCRATIVE
Stand Midway Between Chicken
and Turkey Industries.
Old Blrds Do Well In Any Kind Of
Weather, Requiring Nothing In
Way Of Shelter but a Com
mon Shed TO Run Under.

Raising geese for market Is an i'm
portant industry and has proved
very profitable. It stands midway In
importance between the chicken and
turkey industries.
Geese are probably the hardest of
all domestic fowls, requiring less at
tention than cows or hens, and little
or no outlay for buildings. The old
geese do well In all weathers with
nothing In the way of shelter but a
shed to run under, and usually they
disdain that, They do best on wet or
marshy land, where hens and turkeys
would not thrive. They are, however,
very different from other fowls, and
unless their nature Is understood and
their requirements met they are the
least profitable Of all stock. In order
to throw more light on the subject Of
geese and their greatest profits, the
Rhode Island station has expert
mented for some time, and has is
sued a most interesting report Of tests
made In cross breeding.
