They smoked churchwarden pipes
at the Cheshire Cheeses mermaid
evening"" but-since Tennyson died
has anyone else smoked the yard of
clay?" One recalls G. A. Sala's lament,
and that was so years back: There is
no such thing as pipe of tobacco
nowadays, sir. l see English gentle
men go about smoking black abomina-
tons like Irish apple-women. hear Of
Milo's, Burns Guilty pipes, narghiles,
chiboucks. meerschaums, hookahs, wa
ter pipes, straw pipes, and host of
other inventions for emitting the
fumes of tobacco.
But where, sir, is the old original
alderman pipe, the churchwarden's
pipe, the unadulterated yard of
clay?' A man was wont to moisten the
stem carefully with beer ere he put 1t
to his lips; when once it was alight 1t
kept alight; man could sit behind
that pipe; but can man sit behind the
ridiculous Pigments they call pipes
now? The yard of clay is departed"
Like the yard of tin," perchance, it
belonged to the old coaching days, and
went with the sanded parlors of the
old coaching inns.-London Chronicle.

FROM BODY OF CATERPILLAR
Australia Has Curious Plant Which
Develops From Action of Para
site on Insect.

Nature is a curious force. There is
a caterpillar in Australia 1t looks
for food under leaves and twigs in the
usual way. AS it searches, a parasite,
specially equipped by nature for the
purpose, drops on it's neck and fastens
itself there.
In week or two this little parasite
seed begins to terminate, drawing its
nourishment from the very life blood
of the insect The latter, feeling sick,
buries itself about two inches into
the ground.
Eventually a pale green stalk, about
twelve inches high, at the summit of
which is a most extraordinary flower,
somewhat resembling the top of &
bulrush when in seed, appears.
The poor caterpillar's refuge in tho
ground is OF no avail, for it's whole in
terror has to make room for a mass
of roots. Sucked as dry as bone.
it is actually converted into a stick
Of wood.

ASSURES HONESTY OF VOTE
French Method Seems Somewhat Com
plIcated, but Doubtless 1t Effee-
tually Eliminates Fraud.

Have the French discovered the only
honest way Of getting the number of
votes? The way Of voting which has
recently become law is called '1'iso-
loir electoral" The following is the
description given by Paris paper
More than 10000 electors defiled be-
fore the urns in district of Ivry for
the election of deputy. Before put
ting their votes into the urn they all
passed through the isolator When
they entered the voting room, after
receiving a paper. which proved their
right to vote, which they had taken to
court the day before, according to the
new law, the voters were each given
an opaque gray envelope, with which
they we're allowed to go to the urn,
but only after passing through one of
the eight cabins put there for the voter
to be able to choose his ticket freely.
without anybody seeing him do it, A
squad of policemen stood by as the
men were about to enter the cabins,
and told them what to do Put your
vote in the envelope" Nov go on the
other side" Don't try to seal the en-
velope." And then the voter was al
lowed to throw his vote into the urn.

Origin of Petroleum.

Experiments recently conducted by
two Swiss scientists seem to have
solved the mystery that yelled the
origin of petroleum, a riddle with
which scientists have struggled for
many generations. There have been
two theoi iea as to the origin Of retro
leum, Oh g school Of Investigators he,
neving that 1t is produced by carbon
compounds that exert an igneous &C.
ton on water, while others held that it
proceeds from a distllation of vege-
table origin.
The tests made by the Swiss scien-
lists seem to support the second the
DRY. They distilled ordinary coal in
vacuum at q very low temperature
and obtained a special kind of vacuum
tar that contained no phenol or any
aromatic hydrocarbides.
When this product was washed with
alkali and sulphuric acid it gave a
powdery product which when dis
solved in water in turn produced semi
aromatic alcohols whose characteris-
tics resembled the Canadian petro
leums.

Mistakes In Business.

According to the philosophic Stats
tician of large New York business
house, the proportion Of mistakes
made every day in the business world
averages rs to every 100 transactions.
This does not mean 25 per cent of Sc
rious errors, but that one-quarter of
the business transactions Of New York
show an error large or small in judg-
ment or action.
The statistician declares that the
general managers of all large con
Germs make at least one mistake a
day in the conduct of their business
affairs. 1t is true that this oAsA mis-
take is not so easily detachable as are
the mistakes of subordinates Only
the general managers secretary OF
confidential stenographer knows about
1t in most cases. Yet the mistake Is
made.

1t has been noticed for a long time
that monkeys become more stupid as
they advance in years, but until re-
Gently no plausible explanation for this
condition was available Edmond
Perrier. French scholar, says the
reason is that the temporal muscles
grow upward from birth until adult
age and that by COMPRISING the brain
they prevent it's development.
In the same connection number of
experiments have been made showing
how the development of the skull or
the face is influenced by the compress
sion or removal of certain organs. The
teeth Of dogs were extracted as soon
as the molars appeared through the
gums. and it was noticed that little by
little the skulls of these dogs grew
deformed. By cutting the temporal
muscles of dogs or monkeys COM
preston of the Uranium is produced.
