The artichoke, which originally came
from Barbary, is not botanical spe-

grows spontaneously all along the Al
rican coast of the Mediterranean from
Morocco to Palestine. 1t Is now Guilt
waited extensively in France. where
those which come from Brittany and
Algeria are the species most highly es-
teemed. Even of these there are many
varieties, such as the Camus artichoke
Of Brittany, the bronzed artichoke OF
Roscoff. the big green artichoke or
Laon and the violet artichoke of Pro-
vence. There are also varieties which
come from Italy, Spain, India and Can
ada, to say nothing Of the Jerusalem
artichoke, famous for the enormous
size OF its leaves. In the south OF
France when the crop is abundant the
heads are carefully picked Of all their
leaves and the hearts dried In the sun.

Flexible Stone,

Itacolumite is peculiar stone which
Is found in Brazil When flexible itacol-
unite is cut into thin plates, and when
examined with microscope it is found
to be composed almost entirely Of fine
grains Of sand Of peculiar shape. with
indented edges which interlock like the
fingers Of clasped hands. The fexibil-
ity Of the material results from this
interlocking Of the grains Of sand, Of
which 1t is chiefly composed. Although
but few persons know that this stone
can be anything but hard. the flexible
stone is not so much Of curiosity as
It seems, for 1t Is found in North Caro-
lima. and there are specimens of it in
a case at the Philadelphia collection.

stone which bends like a piece Of rub

EnuIand's First Scientist.

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon, who died in 1904. The
exact date of his birth is unknown, but
it is believed that this year marks the
seven hundredth anniversary. He was
prosecuted and condemned and much
Of his work destroyed, SO that the ex-
tent of his discoveries cannot be def
nitely known. 1t is certain that he
was centuries ahead Of his ignorant
and credulous times in chemistry. me-
chanics and mathematics. Branded as
a magician, he was thrown into prison.
From 1877 until a short time before
his death Bacon was immured in a
filthy cell. He is said to have invented
the camera obscura, the air pump and
the diving bell and he was acquainted
with the uses of optical lenses and the
nature Of gunpowder, although the pro-
iectile power of gunpowder appears not
to have been discovered until the fol-
lowing century. 1t is said that during
war Bacon set fire to the chief build
ings in town by using burning lenses.

While the morning rush was on one
day young woman followed a trolley
car down Broadway, running two
blocks before she caught it This she
was able to do because Of the jam Of
the traffic which retarded the car Her
efforts attracted attention on both sides
Of the street. and hurrying shop hands
stopped to cheer her on. At Houston
street, where she came painting up to
the side of the car, she gasped to the
conductor that she had left her pocket.
book on the seat and wanted to get It.
He obligingly held the car while she
made a search. No pocketbook was
found. but as she stepped of into the
street again. her eyes filed with tears.
there came a shout from behind 1t

SAVING and Small Earnings.

In the Scotch parish where the saw
ings bank originated a great majority
Of the inhabitants were poor cottagers.
Their average wages did not run over
8 shillings about 81 week.
"It seemed" wrote Samuel Smiles,
"a very unlikely place in which to es-
tablish a bank for savings. where the
poor people were already obliged to
strain every nerve to earn a bare liv-
ing, to provide the means of educating
their children-for, however small his
income, the Scottish peasant almost
invariably contrives to save something
wherewith to send his children to
school-and to pay their little contri-
buttons to the friendly society of the
parish"
In four years this unpromising field
yielded to the Rev. Henry Duncan's
bank at Ruthweli nearly 5000. The
bank became self sustaining, and all
over Scotland and England the new
savings bank idea spread. - Chicago

The reason for the usage does not lie
in any feeling that the United States
pre-empts, stands for or overshadows
the other parts Of the western hemis-

Of rock crystal unearthed by Layard
at Nineveh. This lens. the age Of

when it left the makers hands By
the side of 1t are very recent speci-
mems Of lenses which have been ruined
by exposure to Londons fogs and
smoke.
