He Would Find Out.

Henry Irving In his early days once
played part which in the first act
called for dark stage. In this dark
ness he fought with an old earl, threw
him heavily, and when he did not rise
after the loud thud of his fall Irving
would cry out:
Great heavens, what have doneY'
One night he played the part in a
small English town. A stage hand was
very much impressed with the play,
and to him the scenes quickly became
real, so that when Irving reached the
climax, felled the old earl to the ground
and spoke the line Great heavens,
what have | doneT he was startled to
hear the stage hand say In n loud voice:
Strike match and Wen have a
look. New York Globe.

The Burns cottage at Ayr is under
the charge Of trustees, who purchased
1t In 1881 from the Ayr Shoemakers'
Incorporation for the sum of $4,000.
The birthplace OF the poet had up till
that time been In use as public
house. The trustees abandoned the
license and after n time removed a
hall and other extraneous buildings
which had been added to the premises
and restored the cottage buildings as
nearly as possible to the state they
may have been In In Burns time A
new museum was built at the north

Morris and His Furniture.


in William Morris-His Work and
Influence" is retold how the two
friends, Burne-Jones and Morris, set
ting out to keep house together in the
now historic rooms, II Red Lion
square, found themselves confronted
with the uncomfortable ugliness and vul-
garity Of mid-Victorian furniture.
Says Mr.. Clutton- Brock:
''Their rooms were to be furnished,
and Morris could not find In any shop
a single new table or chair that he
could endure. This was not mere fas-
tidiousness. To him vulgarity IN furni-
ture was. like vulgarity Of manners,
the expression Of a wrong state Of
mind, and II his own furniture had
been vulgar he would have felt as re-
spOnsible for It as for his own man.
ners. Therefore he designed furniture
to please himself, making drawings
that were carried out by a carpenter.
Thus simply and naturally he began
his business Of poetic upholsterer'
From the first he was not
only an artist, but one who tried to
make the world what he wished It to
be and, beginning with armchairs, end
ed with society"

Sound DETECTION.

Sound does not always travel through
the air In a straight line. 1t often
happens that two zones Of sound are
separated by zone Of silence. In 1908
an explosion OF dynamite on the rail-
road then building up the Jungfrau
was heard in two different zones. The
first extended through radius Of for
ty kilometers around the explosion.
The other began at distance of 40
kilometers, the sound being unheard
in the intervening 100 kilometers. Sim
liar phenomena had been observed
elsewhere, and physicists tried TO ex-
plain them by the refexion OF the
sound waves from certain atmospheric
strata. Professor Fujiwhara, who has
studied such matters during volcanic
eruptions In japan, asserts now that
these phenomena depend upon the di-
rection Of the wind In the middle strata
OF the atmosphere.

Chamberlain and XII, MonooI.,.

While the late Joseph Chamberlain
was crossing Palace yard one day
some years ago he was accosted by an
American girl with the cool request,
mr.. Chamberlain, please do give me

1t was at once handed to her, guard

and stammered, Most likely I'm in

he screwed in position, and then went

ChanQinu Matter,

"Can the diamond be destroyed by in
tense heath asks a reader.
Yes. Any substance known can be
vaporized in the fierce heat Of the cleo
tric furnace. The word destroyed
should not have been used. Diamond is
chemically pure carbon-that is, lamp
black-and the same quantity still ez-
lists after the diamond has vanished.
Man is now able to destroy the form Of
all matter known to chemists-that is,
matter disappears as matter, only to
resolve back into its primordlal cleo
irons. These are pure electricity, and
nothing else exists. These man cannot
create nor destroy. All that any hui
man can create is a thought that had
not been created before. But this is n
theory, for all thoughts may be eternal.
But here one must stop, for our minds
cannot think Of the meaning Of the
word eternal.-Edgar Lucien Larkin in

Beef In Boston In 174O.

A writer In the Yale Review, who
notes that in 1740 beef could be bought
in Boston Mt II cents a pound, seems
to imply that that price was all 1t was
worth. Invariably a steak for dinner
was heralded by the vigorous pounding
with the potato masher welded by the
stalwart arm Of the cook" The meat,
in fact, often came, he tells us, from
the carcass Of "a COW that no longer
gave milk or bull that had lost its
bloom"
