So, to please the old woman, he prom
ised to ask for Donald, and he con-
scientiously kept his word. At various
ports he made inquiry among British
ships, although it seemed very much
like looking for needle in q bale of
hay. But 1t Is the unexpected that
happens. AS DR.. Macleod's steamer
went up the Hugh river an outward
bound vessel passed close by. A sailor
was leaning over her bulwark, and,
moved by sudden impulse, the doctor
shouted out:
"Are you Donald Mactavish?"
To his intense surprise the man an
swered, "Yes."
DR.. Macleod had only time to shout,

the vessels drew apart. The result of
his amazing meeting was that the old
lady received a penitent letter from
her long neglectful son.

The Alarm Clock Cure.

A writer In the Farm and Fireside
declares that the surest cure for broody
hens is an alarm clock. He says:
'Some years ago I was endeavor1ng
to break up sitting hen, but my eff
forts were In vain. Old Yaller con-
tinued to sit Finally l took small

one corner Of her nest and watched.
It went of. And so did Old Yaller.
She left the nest and stood dazed for
one Mortified instant, and then, with one
shrill suuawk, she ran out Of the hem
house and flew over the park fence and
began to hunt for bugs In the grass.
"She not only stopped sitting. but she
stopped clucking, and In short time
began to lay. have since tried this
method on more than 100 broody hens
with complete success"

REPRODUCTION lS.MADE EASY
Perfect Copies of Masterpieces Of
Sculpture Secured With the Aid
Of the Camera.

A new optical method for making
reproductions of sculptures consists in
photographing the object from two or
more points Of view and then, with
the cameras and lines of sight in ex-
actly the same relative positions, pro-
Jecting the images to an intersection
on the modelling clay or block of mar
BILE from which the reproduction is to
be made. While somewhat crude in
Its present state, this process. says
Popular Mechanics, is one that ap.
parently has great possibilities for fu.
ture development. In making the re-
production the worker simply cuts
away the material at any point until
the corresponding points as projected
from the different cameras coincide
on the surface AS most sculptural oh.
jects do not have points that are suf-
ficiently prominent for their coinci.
dence to be determined with precision.
1t is proposed to use an additional ap.
paratus for projecting a series of fine
lines and letters on the object while
it is being photographed. These lines
and letters, Of course, appear on the
negative made by each of the cameras
and are projected with the image. In
this way the worker obtains set of
artificial points that are sharp and
definite, and the coincidence of these
SIS easily determined.

The Human Side of Things.

NOTED FOR SMALL THINGS
Great Men Not Always Held in Mem.
DRY on Account of Deeds Of
Consequence.

It is said that the duke Of Yelling
ton once "chaffed" Lord Brougham
as man who at one time babe fair
to go down to future ages as famous
advocate of law reform and popular
education, but who, after all, would
owe his renown in the name of the
vehicle which had received his name.
Brougham retorted by saying to the
duke that bis name, which promised
to descend to after-times as the hero
of a hundred battles and the liberator
of Europe was to survive as the ap-
pellation Of certain kind of boots.
The story is good one, whether true
or mythical, and suggests to US some
of the strange ways in which men be-
come famous.
One person acquires celebrity by
his giant intellect, as Webster or Cal
houn; another, by his dwarf stature,
as Count Borowalski, or Tom Thumb.
There are great men who are known
to fame hardly less by their physical
or moral eccentricities than by their
intellectual might. Such was the
case with Lord Brougham, who was
long associated in mems minds with
the queer twist Of his nose, on which
Punch hung SO many conceits; and
Lord Peterborough, who, walking
\ from the market with fowl under one
Aarm and a cabbage under the other,
quite threw into the shade Lord Pc
terborough, the hero of Almanac.
The same was the case with the
great duke of Marlborough, whose
hagglings with the Bath chairmen and
acts of petty avarice were talked Of
long after the conqueror at Blenheim
and Malplaquet was forgotten.
