SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Jew outwtted Russian Guard by lmi-
tation That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is clever fellow,
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of a situation of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia, but he had no passport. He
said to his friend Mendel:
you have a passport; I'll get into
big bag and you shall carry me
across the border II the frontier
guard asks you to put the bag down.
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in it and it will break"
Mendel was obliging He shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in it and ap-
preached the boundary. The frontier
guard asked what was in the bag and
Mendel answered, Glass" Thereupon
the soldier drew his sword and ran it
through the bag. 1t might easily have
gone very hard with Steidentaft if he
had forgotten his role and cried out.
But he didn't. Instead he made a
noise like this: Killing, klang." And
so he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: when one is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass. -

CANNONS MADE OF WOOD

Wooden cannons have been used
successfully in recent revolutions I'm
Cuba, Hawaii and some South Ameri-
can countries.
The wood used in the construction
of these crude weapons is a very
tough variety, having a twisted grain
that curls about the log in such a way
that to split the timber with ordinary
means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected and a
piece of the log five feet or six feet
In diameter is cut. After the bark has
been removed and the log made per-
fectly round it is swung up on a crude
truss and hole is burned into it from
one end. The log is wound with strips
of raw-hide cut from the skin of a
steer When the cannon is covered
with the strips of hide another layer
Is wound on, and this is continued
until the weapon has increased sew
eral inches in diameter
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draught, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding, which becomes
almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannon have been used
with success in a number of instances,
and it is astonishing the number of
times they may be fired before they
burst or become otherwise disabled.

CONCERNING RARE BOOKS

The late ]. Pierpont Morgan left
among his collections the only perfect
COPY in existence of Claxtons Mort
d'Arthur." 1t is one Of the rarest
books in the world for which Mr.. Nor
gan paid about $4,000. each page be-
ing worth $3.50.
Some years ago when the Antwerp
collection was sold at Sothebys, a
great American collector coveted the
First Folio Shakespeare which was in
cluded in the sale. His agent travel
ed 6.OOO miles to secure the treasure,
and returned to the states with the
great book. But he had left behind
him the record price, $4,000. In 1872
this book fetched $3.50.
There is a story of the unearthing Of
a Caxton at Thorneck hall, Lincoln
shire. The butler was entrusted with
the work of wedding out superhuous
books A perfect copy of Dame Ju-
Llama Berners' "Boke of st. Adams
was thrown aside and sold to ped
dler for ninepence. The latter thought
he was lucky when he sold 1t to
Gainsborough chemist for three shill-
ings. It was soon sold to a bookseller
for $40, and he sold it to another book
seller for $35, 1t was subsequently sold
to Sir Thomas Grenville for S40O. At
the time of this transaction Dibdin val
ued this book at $2,1OO, and in 1882 a
perfect copy changed hands for $3.50.
The most valuable printed book In
the world is the first ever issued from
the press-a Gutenberg Bible. But
even in those early days there were
editions de luxe" An ordinary pa
per copy, with three leaves restored" "
fetched $14,80O the last time it ap-
peared on the market, but at the Hoe
sale a tremendous sensation was
caused by the inclusion of fine copy
on vellum, printed by the very first
printer.
Dealers hurried like homing pigeons
from all quarters of the globe to view
this treasure and also to bid for it. 1t
was finally secured by Henry E. Hun
tingdon, the greatest book collector on
the globe, for the record price of $780,
900.

Dr. Charles Campbell, of San An

the sworn enemies of mosquitoes,
which, it is common knowledge, inocu-
late man with malaria, had the idea
Of employing those curious flying
mammals against the dangerous in
sect; more especially as the two crea-
lures have a liking for the same To-
calitles. Making various tests, he
came to the conclusion that the mos

and that each of the latter will ac-
count daily for some 300 of the for
mer So came the idea that bats
should be encouraged in malarial dis
tricts, and a special experimental
shelter was built on the edge of Mitch
ellis lake, large pool of stagnant wa
ter, ten miles from San Antonio. This
shelter is of form and size calculated
not only to resist the wind, but, what
is more important, to protect the bats
from their natural enemies. At the
end of four months, hundreds of bats
had taken possession of it; and it was
estimated that this year 1t accommo-

TELLING TIME IN INDIA

Among the Hindus clocks are re.
garded as great curiosities, and often
half-a-dozen or more timepieces are
found in the apartments of the veal
thy Hindustanees.
They are not used as timepieces,
but simply for ornament, since the
old-fashioned way of telling the hour
in India, by calculating the number
of bamboo lengths the sun has trav-
eled above the horizon, is entirely sat
isfactory to the natives.
1t is said that in the country police
stations in India, where the European
division of the hours is observed. timo
is measured by placing In. a tub Of
water a copper pot in which small
hole has been bored 1t is supposed
that it will take one hour for the
water to leak into the pot so as to

man sees that the pot has disappeared
he strikes the hour on bell-like gong.
If he is smoking or doing the copper
pot may have disappeared several
minutes before he discovers the fact.

FACTORIES THAT FLOAT.

Floating factories have become an
important part Of the development Of
the forest resources of India. In GER
tain parts of the country forests are
only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense of
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such a
course impracticable. Therefore saw
mills and other manufacturing estab-
lishments are built on floating plat
forms and moved up the streams as
they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill it can be packed in way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system of log
ging. Plants for the preparation Of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lished in this manner The plants are
built on fiat boats, 200 feet long by q
feet wide, capable of carrying load
of 40 tons.

CHAMPION OF RAT-CATCHERS

J. Allison Hogg is the champion
''Pied Piper" of the world. For 20
years he has been catching rats and
has at last established himself as the
rat catcher without peer He Is
official rat catcher 10 the federal gov
ernment, and he keeps government
warehouse in New York city free from
the pests.
Hogg catches 10000 rats a year. He
takes orders to clear ships Of rats. as
well as residences, factories and ho'
tells. Several hotels have given him
yearly contracts to keep their base
ments free from the long tailed ro-
dents. When he goes to catch rats he
stops up most of the holes. turns his
ferrets loose and picks up the rats as
they dart out the holes. He uses a
long pair OF plnchers, shaped some
thing like a pair OF scissors, and
thrusts the rats alive into a gunny.
sack. As long as the gunnysack hangs
free. without touching anything, the
rats will not try TO escape, but If the
sack is put on the floor the rats will
gnaw through and scatter to the four
winds They have TO feel something
secure under them before they will
try to gnaw through.
He sells many of the big, healthy
rats tu experimental laboratories,
while the crippled ones he feeds to his
ferrets. lie does not poison the rats
he catches them alive, traps them
or shoots them. When he goes to rid
a ship Of rats in one night he has to
take several assistants along with
him. An electric light flashed in a
rats face blinds him so that Mr. Hogg
can pick him up.

Just the Reverse.

A kind-hearted and witty clergyman,
entering the house of one of his elders
one morning, found the good old man
numerically whipping one of his sons,
a lad about fourteen years old, and he
at once began to intercede for the
boy.
The deacon defended himself by say
ing that "the youth must be early
trained in the way he should go. 1t is
best to make an impression when the
wax is soft"
Yes said the pastor, but that
does not hold here, for the whacks
we're not soft"
The deacon let the boy go.
