The P~eriscope.

Permit me to introduce myself to
the public generally. Modest and re-
firing, both by nature and occupation,
l have hitherto refrained from obtrud-
ing myself upon the attention of the
multitude.
My name is Periscope. My principal
object in life is to rise to every neces-
sary occasion. When this demands
my more or less immediate presence,
I occupy myself by holding up the
mirror, not to Nature, but to the enc
my. Like an occasional idea which
renders superfuous old systems of
philosophy, / have come to render
superfuous an entire cycle of inven-
tons. | am the last triumph of mind
over matter. l reflect, and a thousand
men go down to their fate. Within
the blue zone of my horizon, subject
to my orders, fits the angel of death.
/ am the naval eye that put the
naught in dreadnaught.-Life.

BORING THROUGH THE ICE
Seals Have a Laborious Method Of
Keeping Themselves Supplied
With Air.

Not many people know how the seal
of the far North gets air when the
Arctic ocean is entirely covered with
many feet of ice.
The small spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not a fur bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters,
remarks the Youths Companion. I'm
der his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the ice
closes up the open water in the Arc
tic the seal selects a spot and begins
to drill a hole TO the surface by press
ing his warm nose against the ice. No
body knows how many hours it takes
him to accomplish his task, but he
manages it; and although he is obliged
to work most of the time, because the
surface of the hole is continually
freezing, he keeps it open all winter,
and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill in
this manner through 80 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these seal holes that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply Of meat

Canadians Teach English.

Canadian troops arriving at Sails
bury Plain, England, carry an en-
trenching tool that is novel to the
Englishman. 1t is capable of being
used as a shield and is slung across
their shoulder in a leather case. The
tool is a spade weighing about four
pounds, and consequently can be car
ried at all times. The spade has an
oval hole in the center of it through
which a %gunbarrel can be thrust. The
tool thus serves both as a rifle rest
and a shield to the soldier in the
trenches. All the spades have been
subjected to heavy fire and the metal
in them is practically bulletproof. AT
a distance of 200 yards heavy ammuni-
ton only cracks the shields and does
not penetrate them.

The Children.

1t is a base thing TO be at anything
out u best before children. We may
think that a child will not know that
our show of temper or irritation is not
justified. We may expect him to be-
Iieve that it is right because we do it.
But if he does look upon our failure as
something entirely right, how we have
lowered his standards! Just because
a child is so ready to believe trust
fully that what he sees in others is
good, we should be all the more keenly
alert to let him see in us only the
best. A specialist in children's books
said recently before the Booksellers
school, in New York: "All the money
we may make out of distributing IN
worthy books could not take away the
shame we should feel if it came back
to us that we had in any way assisted
i'm the mean work Of lowering a child's
taste or character ideals" Do we ever
lower the tastes or ideals of the chill
idren in our own home, or school, or
neighborhood? To do wrong before
those who may innocently think it is
right, is about as disastrous a way OF
propagating our own failures IS could
be MISUNDERSTANDING.

Joy Turned to Grief.

There is a big bunch of phony
money being 'lost" in this town every
day, siys the New York Press. And
it looks as if some was dropping
it just for the purpose of causing the
finders to have an attack of heart fail
ure. A man fell upon a roll of green
boys in the theatrical district the 9th
er day and when he wrapped his hand
around it he wore an expression that
seemed to say This will put me on
velvet" But upon closer examina-
ton the p~aleness of his face indicated
that he had changed his opinion. The
roll was stage money.
There is a stage money treasury To-
Gated near the Metropolitan opera
house, where they have stored about
thirty million dollars or more in green
and yellow backs. The money is sent
all over the country to be used in
the movies to pay for mortgages and
on the stage to win heiresses. AS a
side line the stage money treasurer is
sues small lots of accommodation pa
per for four-flushers to use as the ba-
sis for a roll" With a couple Of
regular KS or ks wrapped around
a bunch of stage money any gay fellow
can make a great showing along the
main street.

RATTLEsNAKE is AUTo-PRoof
After Being Repeatedly
Run Over.

William Burguson of the Charleston
Motor Sales company, while driving
through North Charleston in an auto
mobile, effected the capture Of a large
r~attlesnake, which he brought to
Charleston, s.. c., alive. The reptile
with six rattles and a button, and is
of the deadly diamond back variety.
The capture was made by the skill
full use of a lasso which was hastily
made from a ball of Irvine. When
first sighted the snake was vigorously
~disputing the right of way with Mr..
Burguson's automobile. and it was the
buZzing of the snakes rattles which
first attracted his attention. The rat
tier was stretched across the road,
and Mr.. Burguson, intending to kill it,
drove the car directly over its body.
The snake eoiled. and made several
vicious strikes at the auto, apparently
none the worse for having had it's
body passed over by several hundred
weight. The driver backed the car,
anu dSQih 1dH NOfCt illO iCpblAC, but
with no apparent effect, except to put
the rattler in a worse humor. for the
latter repeatedly struck at the wheels
of the car. Mr.. Burguson then alight-
ed and attacked the husky specimen
with a large stick, and the snake re-
treated to the bushes on the side of
the road. After an exciting chase the
reptile was finally stunned and las
seed. Mr.. Burguson brought 1t to the
city in a box. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Burguson to give the snake to
Professor Rea of the museum, alive,
as the reptile seemed to recover com
pletely from it's rough handling with
in a few hours after its capture, and
showed fight every time any IN took
a peep at it In. it's temporary prison.

TAKE NOTE OF SMALL THINGS
Not the Larger Dangers, But the In
significant, Are Most to be
Guarded Against.

Alike in the world of nature and
the realm of human conduct, the
things called little count for more in
the sum of good or evil than the
things acknowledged as great. Stat
istics would probably show that the
ravages Of gypsy moths. and other
parasites that feed on the products of
garden, field and forest, exceed the
ruin wrought by cyclones and earth
quakes. We are more likely to be
killed by microbes than devoured by
lions. The soldier may be in greater
danger from the neglect of sanitary
precautions than from the bullets OF
the enemy. Some people are terrified
at the approach Of a thunderstorm,
and do not breathe freely until the
danger is past. Others would rather
forego the pleasure of foreign travel
than brave the perils of an ocean voy-
age. Yet poor ventilation numbers
moro victims than the lightning, and
insufficient drainage than the temp
ests that strew the shore with
wrecks.-Universalist Leader.

He Manages to Collect a
"HaIf" Fare.

A Newark man went to Newtown,
Conn, the other day, in quest of an
interview with Doctor Hadley, presi-
dent of Yale. At the railway station
he learned that the Hadley home was
several miles distant. An elderly
hackman, driving a spawned horse
and a rickety carriage, waited con-
veniently near, and the reporter hired
him for the trip.
Out through the country they drove
for three or four miles. Suddenly the
hackman slapped his knee and
shouted:
"Whoai"
What's the matter now?" asked
the reporter.
"By crickety!" said the hackman,
of that Teller Hadley didn't leave town
on the train this morning, and / clean
forgot all about it,"
ITS a wonder you didn't remem-
Der before you brought me away out
here" the reporter explained.
"Oh, WELL" replied the hackman. II
won't charge you but half-fare. l
won't charge you but a couple of dol
lars"

DRILLED SOLDIER UNDER FIRE
Reckless Courage Shown BY Russian
Captain In Driving Fear From
Subordinate.

At S~ebastOpol, during the siege, q
Captain Samoiloff, wishing some wine,
ordered an officer to send a man for
it. The man, a young soldier, took the
money and started on the errand. just
then, however, a French battery had
concentrated it's fire upon the very
spot where the young man must go
outside the works. He stopped and
turned back.
Il wouldn't go out there for the
world" he said.
An officer, of course, reported the
act of disobedience to the captain. The
captain, in a rage, ordered the man
into his presence and demanded why
he had not obeyed his order.
Il beg you to pardon me, captain,
but ] vas terribly afraid"
Afraid cried the captain. "Afraid!
A Russian soldier afraid! Wait a min
ute. / will drive the fear out of you.
Come with me-"
The captain led the way to the ram
part, mounted it, and there, with the
bullClS lalhiAA6 ACdAAo hihs CSSoh pub
ting the man through some military ex-
ercises. The lookers-on in the fort held
their breath. If a hat was put on a
bayonet and lifted above the walls
the bullets came that way on the in
slant.
Not many seconds elapsed before a
bullet struck the captain in the arm.
He did not vince, but kept on with his
drill, while the blood dripped down his
hand to the wall.
Next a bullet went through the tail
of the soldiers coat, and another
through his knapsack. Then suddenly
the firing ceased.
The soldier begged for grace and
promised to go wherever he was sent.
Still the captain continued his drill.
When he thought the lesson had been
learned, or, perhaps, when his wound
grew too painful, he dismissed the sol
der and went himself to the surgeon
and had his arm dressed.
The French explained afterward
that they ceased firing out of sheer
establishment at the sight Of the two
men exposing themselves so reck
lessly.

Relieving Monotony o N Train.

AS a method of relieving the mo-
notony of a long journey the obser-
walton of the distance post has a val
ne. Calculated in this way, the high
est speed | have achieved in this
country has been one mile in 46 Sec
onds, or at the rate of IS miles per
hour, on the Midland railway COM
pany's system between Chesterfield
and Stockport-a most exciting run on
a down-grade five miles length of
track. The train swung frightfully,
but we survived. The next highest
speed has been observed on the Lon
don and Northwestern railway COM
pany's system between Penrith and
Carlisle; another down-grade run,
when a speed of 70 miles per hour can
often be observed. Speeds of be-
tween 60 and 70 miles an hour are.
however, quite commonly attained by
many of the main line express trains
in this country, and the amateur OBJ
server need not trouble to record any
runs in which the quarter-mile takes
over Is seconds to complete.-Londop

TWO MORE BELIEFS ENDED
Science Says Rattlers and Antiers
Have Nothing to Do With
Matter of Age.

A couple of more fond beliefs have
sentimental scientists-that the age Of
IA rattlesnake can be told by the num-
Der of his ~rattles, and that a deer's
span of life is accurately recounted
by the number of points in his antlers.
AS the Geological Society Bulletin
says:
1.-The largest RATHER may have few
rattles and a small one twice the
humber of the big one.
HE grows three a year. At birth the
rattlesnake has a tiny button where
his rattles are ultimately to be. There
fore at the end of the first year-if
he should live-he would be, according
Ito theory, three years old; or perhaps
three and a half, if one considers the
button as the nucleus of another rattle.
1T is quite probable that the rattles
increase in number for a certain num-
her of years; remain that number
during another period of years and
then degenerate as the snake attains
its longevity.
THE degeneration of the antlers of
a male deer presents a less bewilder-
ing problem, inasmuch as it is posi-
BILE to prove beyond doubt that the
points on his antlers have no bearing
whatsoever on his age.
In the first place several species
may be reared in captivity with Is
much certainty as domestic cattle, and
therefore the recovery of the shed
antlers before they are destroyed
either by decay or the teeth of rodents
is an assured fact.
With such means no other testi-
'mony need be presented than two
series of a%ntlers, one from an Ameri-
can wapiti and the other from an axis
deer.
"The first antlers of the wapiti bear
eight points. which, according to the
popular theory, gives him the age Of
eight years. In reality, as he was born
in June, 1906, at the time his first
pair Of antlers had attained their
maximum size-in September, 1907
he was exactly seventeen months old"

PUBLIC LED BY CONVENTION
Fact Explains Why Reality in Any
Form of Art Comes as Some
thing of a Shock.

We are all such creatures of nven
ton that the first impression made by
reality in any form of art is sometimes
a distinct shock and we close the win
dows of our intelligence and draw the
blinds, that the fresh air and the new
light may not enter it. Just as no
form of art is SO strange as life, so
it may be the strangeness of reality
in books, in pictures, and in music that
makes our attitude one of resistance
rather than of welcome.
Virgin sno often looks blue, but it
took courage to paint it blue, because
people judge not by eyesight, but by
convention, and snow conventionally is
assuredly white. In reading books of
fiction we have become so accustomed
to conventions that we hardly notice
how often they contradict reality. In
many novels l have read / have been
introduced to respectable women with
scarlet lips, whereas in life l
saw a really good woman with
such labial curiosities. Conversations
are conventionally unnatural. A triv-
ial illustration will suffice. Someone
in a group makes a proposition.
Agreed" cried they all. Did you
ever hear anyone say "Agreed?"-

King as a Prisoner Of War.

In these days no prisoner of war is
likely to be SO well treated as King
John / of France, who, after his cap
ture at Poitiers, was lodged first at
the palace of the Savoy and subse-
quently at Somerton castle, in Lincoln
shire, the London Chronicle observes.
Before being removed to Somerton,
John had to dismiss AZ members of
his suite; but even then there re-
manned about forty persons in attend
ance on him. Among these were two
chaplains, a secretary, a clerk OF the
chapel, a physician, a maitre d'hotel,
three pages, four Wallets, three ward
robe men, three furriers, six grooms,
two cooks, a fruiterer, a spiceman, a
Jester, a barber and a person entitled
he roy des menestereulx," who APP
peared to have been a maker of mu-
steal instruments and clocks, as well
as a minstrel. He was alCO allowed
to keep game cocks. falcons and grey
hounds ana to 60 out hawking and

The Physicians Life.

The study of medicine is an en-
trancing subject; its practice requires
an array of virtues whose mere con-
temptation staggers the mind. One
must meet violence with gentleness.
ingratitude with equanimity, insult
with fortitude, SANDER with silence.
The physicians life is a daily exempli-
fication of the Golden Rule. The very
se%nsitiveness that inspires sympathy
with pain and misery is a weapon In
the hands of Ignorance and malice
wherewith they deal dreadful wounds,
wounds which must be endured silent
Iy. Resentment can have no place In
the physicians mind. Equanimlty
must be maintained in the face OF mis-
apprehension and abuse.-From Re
creations of a Physician" by A. Stuart

Nathan Bedford Forrest,

It is not true that General Forrest
was IAN ignorant man, never to his
dying day able TO read or write" as
has been said. On the other hand, he
was a mar Of extraordinary natural
ability and the possessor of a great
deal Of solid wisdom. The poverty OF
his parents prevented him from obtain
ing an early education, but in mature
life he learned to read and write. The
best life of Forrest is that of DR.. John
A. Wyeth.
