Not What They Seemed.

A marquise who was in residence for
few days at Partisan hotel discov-
cred that her pearl necklace, worth
$4,000, had disappeared from her
room. Suspicion fell on a messenger
boy, who admitted his guilt. but de
clared that the necklace had been
taken from him by his mother. The
mother corroborated her sons state
ment expressing establishment that so
much trouble should be made about
"a trashy little trinket," which. she
explained. looked SO cheap and tawdry
that she had given 1t to her daughter
in-law. This young woman. in her
teens. displayed an equal contempt for
the "bits OF things" She told the po-
lice that she had given the necklace
to her little girl to wear, but she had
removed about half the beads. All the
missing pearls were found In a box
among buttons and hooks and eyes

Sensitive Measurement.

Minute bendings of steel bar three
feet long and three and one-half feet in
diameter are accurately measured by a
curious but very sensitive device of the
United States bureau of standards
The bar. supported at each end. has a
small mirror fixed at its center, and
above this is a frame holding another
mirror partially silvered. AS the light
of sodium burner is reflected in each
mirror the lower mirror shows a series
of black and yellow concentric rings.
A very small weight. even that of a
pin, defects the bar and causes the cir
cles to expand outward. Each circle
indicates a movement of one hundred
thousandth of an inch, the pressure of
a finger. forming five or more new cir
cles, showing a bending of one twenty
thousandth of an inch.

men who have the knowledge of stock

SQUIRTING AT THE STARS.
It Helps tho Astronomer In Calculating
Their Distances.

While lecturing recently to an audi
ence of children at the Royal institu-
ton, London. Professor ii. ii Turner
explained how astronomers measure the
distances of the sun. moon and stars
The importance of squint was ex-
planned with the aid Of match and a
cigar Putting the cigar in his mouth
and lighting the match. he told them it
was by squirting that he judged the
distance at which to hold 1t.
Then, taking another cigar. which
was about twelve inches In length. he
explained how In that case It was not
necessary to squint so much, as the
point of distance to be measured by the
eyes was further away.
This was done to illustrate the fact
that, just as the brain calculates the
distances of things seen by means of
the angle of the squint, 80 astronomers
tell the distance of the stars by reckon
ing the amount of 'squint" involved
when looking at them.
Two telescopes are placed apart at an
exactly measured distance. The astron-
omer then looks through the two tel
escapes at the same time and. having
got them to the angle at which he can
see the particular star. just reckons up
the amount Of ''squint' and reels 1t of
in millions OF miles.-Boston Herald.

In camp ants are q continual null
sance. They eat your clothes. gnaw
the softer parts Of your boots and raw
age the food. Many kinds bite saw
agely. One kind. which the natives
call itashi, lives in palosantos or holy
posts-trees that they hollow out them
selves. Their bite is like the touch Of
q redhot iron. and If any one mad
vertently leans against palosanto
the little red demons swarm out upon
him instantly. and SO bite him that
for an hour afterward his life is al
most unbearable.
Most dreaded Of all are the tucan-
deras-black ants with bodies one and

forks of trees, but that often invade
