Praise for nations cultural at

representative men OF science to the
progress OF civilization, Is often heard
on behalf OF this and that country.
Much OF this praise, too, consists Of
conflicting claims. Some general idea
however, OF what the people OF var

lightments of all may be obtained by
an analysis OF the different reference
books telling who's Who in Science
and from their lists the number OF
men who have won general recogni-
ton in research may be ascertained
for each land.
Such a comparative. study was re-
Gently made by one OF this country's
leading scientific journals. It record
ed 1878 scientific men in the Amer
lean scientific blue list, and 1,472 for
Great Britain. Statistics FOR these
two countries, however, were more
inclusive than the statistics furnished
for the countries Of Europe. Recog-

tions were determined as follows:
Germany, 1880; France, 423; Austria

A DEAL IN XEcKs

Yawning with intense boredom,
Noah looked out Of the ark's second
story window. Suddenly he gave a
sigh OF relief. (See Skagworth Nor
ans Methods Of Expressing Emotion
in Biblical Days.")
Here comes that darn dove at last.
He's slower'n the Erie railroad" said
Noah.
The dove bore something in it's
mouth. 1t was note, as follows: Z
Dear Noah: Yours received and
will say that 1 will offer you 5000
shekels for your collection Of animals
and not a shekel more as they are not
worth 1t. Yours, P. T. Barnum."
The old skinflint,r muttered Noah
wrathfully. HE thinks because his
circus is the only one above water
he can dictate his own terms. Well.
III fix him. The 5000 will keep me
on my feet till It dries up a bit any
way"
And, heading Tor the Mt. Ararat Big
Combined Shows, he closed the deal
with Barnum, but not before he had
hidden Jack and Jill, the two giraffes
In the lower ball room OF the ark.
(see Andrew links Construction Of
the Ark and Pastimes Of Noah.'')
Then, when the water had gone
down sufficiently to permit him to
open little side show Of his own, he
exhibited the giraffes and in two
years made enough to retire on. And
Barnum, whenever he was asked why
there were no giraffes in his circus,
replied Grossly, There are no such
animals" an expression which has
come down through the ages.
