ANECDOTES OF FAMOUS WIT
Life Of Labouchere Of London. Truth
RePlete With Incidents Worth
the Telling.

One Of the most fascinating of the
many books of biography that have
appeared during the present publish
ing season is the one dealing with the
life Of Henry Labouchere. It is cram
med with good stories told by or
about this remarkable man, most of
them relating to his career in the dip
lomatic service.
While he was in Washington he,
planned little holiday excursion, and
he was just about to start when he
received letter addressed in the we'll
known handwriting of his chief.
Suspecting that the instructions it
contained would render his holiday
impossible, he put the letter unopened
in the tail pocket of his coat and pro-
ceeded to carry out, with great salts
faction to himself, the holiday he had
planned.
Then, when he was quite ready to
return, he opened the letter, which he
had carried the whole time in his
tail pocket, and found that his suspi-
cions of its contents had been very
we'll founded.
'-1O SSN NO"h anu "TOIS
a nice letter Of apology to his chief,
beginning: Your letter has followed
me here" Which, after all, was
nothing but the simple truth,
Some Of hiS most amusing diplo-
matte experiences occurred in Ger
many, and he was especially proud Of
the popularity he enjoyed at Frank
fort, which he explained in this way:
Sometimes there was ball at
court, which the foreign diplomatists
were expected to attend, At the first
|. ball Labouchere attended he found
| himself at supper next to a grandee
very gorgeous in stars and ribbons.
When a servant came to pour out
champagne, which Labouchere detest-
| ed, he shook his head.
The grandee Immediately nudged
him. Let him pour it out" he said.
Labouchere signed to the man to
pour out the glass of champagne, and
| the grandee explained in q whisper
that their host never gave his guests
more than one glass. so you see,"
he added, ''if I drink yours I shall
have two"
After this" Labouchere used to
say, there used to be quite strug-
gle to sit next me at court suppers!"

The Research Enqineer,

About a decade ago the great adj
vantage to be derived from bringing
the scientist directly to the manufac-
turer's workshop, provided this could
be done in the proper spirit, becomes
evident, and the institution now we'll
known as the Industrial research
laboratory has gradually become firm
ly established. There are those who
still maintain, and, no doubt, correct
Iy, that the worlds greatest discov-
cries come from independent investi-
gators working alone, often amid great
hardship, driven on by the fire of
their. own enthusiasm and complete
absorption in one idea. Be that as
it may, the industrial laboratory has
now to its credit some remarkable
achievements, which would do honor
to any university investigator. It is
also worth noting that these achieve
ments are due in great measure to
that broad dictatorship over research
work which, while not imposing irlh4
some restrictions, guides it toward
useful ends. While spectacular re-
suits bring great credit to Industrial
research in general, and to this de-
partment in particular, 1t seems to
be q fact, nevertheless, that such de-
partments represent an excellent in
vestment even when measured by the
value Of their day-to-day services Of
minor character rendered to a great
industrial organization. Electrical

Home Of the Glove.

About two-thirds of all the cloves
come from little island named
Pemba that lies about FIVE degrees
south Of the equator, just within sight
OF the mainland of Africa, between
Mombasa and Zanzibar. The island
OF Pemba is only 35 miles long and
ten wide. 1t is low, jungle-covered,
fever-haunted spot, surrounded by
coral reefs and inhabited by indolent,
unintelligent and improvident natives
and a small handful OF Europeans.
The Glove tree is singularly deli
cate and must have combination of
climatic conditions that exist in few
places on earth. Where 1t will grow

fusion.
Capt. ]. e. 10. Craster of the Brit.
ish Royal Engineers has Just publish
ed an account OF q survey he made OF
the island. He estimates the average
yield of q tree TO be 35 pounds Of
cloves, and says that with little at
tention to the plantations this could
easily be doubled.

Coal Consumers ORGANIZE.

Recent developments in the coal sit
uaticn in the Philippines, including 4
shortage in the supply Of fuel for tile
archipelago during the last few
months and the increasing use OF fuel
in the islands for industrial purposes
in which fuel costs are of prime i'm
