A Curious BeetIe.

The little bombartlier beetle because preyed upon by larger beetles of its own family has ben armed by nature with what is practically d miniature cannon When attacked the bonibar- dier beetle turns and makes off, but if Overtaken Icy the larger insect-bang.- and an acid fluid is shot from glands situated in the tip of its tail onto the enemy beetle The acid when ejected vaporizes upon reaching the air and thus gives the effect of puff of smoke from a gun, while at the same time small but distinct report, like tiny cannon. is heard. The bombardier bee tie is q rarid frer, too, for the dis charge can be repeated in quick sue cession. and thus the little insect keeps off his larger foes until he can scurry into convenient hole in the soil or find shelter under stone.-Atlanta Journal.

A Gramophone Trick,

The neatest thing in gramophone tricks is to offer n bet to any member of the company that you can play n record without the machine. 1t is n perfectly straightforward matter, says the Strand Magazine. Take lead pen cil and q piece of note paper and ex- plain that this is all you are going to use. Then fix the lead pencil into the hole of the disk so that 1t can be set spinning on the point like n child's tee totum. Fold a piece of paper, which should be thin and crisp, and hold the sharp point of the paper in the groove of the record very lightly, so as not to disturb the equilibrium of the spinning disk The record will be distinctly played, only very faintly, of course, as you are substituting n somewhat prim- ltive producer" instead of the patent sound box.

Ancient Diamonds.

The discoverer of diamonds is un- known. From references in Exodus il is apparent that the diamond was q precious stone in Egypt in those early times, and even before that ii was known in India. where probably il was first obtained. The name is derived from the Greek word "adamas," mean. ing ''unsubduablc."
 From pliny. Il writer of the first ecu tury, we learn that the diamt nd was regarded as the most valuable of all things and only few kings ever could afford to buy them. But as no means of artificial polishing had been discov. cred the stone appreciated iu value. sp that the ruby and the emerald became more precious. The discovery by Lud- wig van Berquen in 1416 of Il mode of polishing and cutting il at once return ed this gem to the first place amOn.g precious stones.-ChicGgo Herald.

Oldest Bridge In England.

Harold's bridge, said to he the oldest bridge in England. Is near Walthnm Abbey. which the Saxon King Harold founded. 1t consists of n single arch Of sandstone surmounting stone foun- dations and spans little stream, tho river Lea. Across this bridge King Harold is said to have been borne to his grave in the abbey churchyard after having been slain by an arrow at the battle of Hastings in 10G6. The sides of the arch have crumbled away, but the central portion is intact and seemingly as secure as 1t was when constructed, more than $50 years ago.
 The bridge is not in use today, but stands in pasture adjoining the grounds of the ancient abbey, of which the chapel. now used as the parish church, and portions of the brick wall surrounding the grounds alone remain. Springfield Republican.

4 Joko on tho Lynx.

Frequently during the winter nature plays Il Io,ie on the lynx. ,Mr. Lynx Loes his hunting at night and lies out stretched on some horizontal limb dur ing the day. Some day, while the lynx is dreaming. the sun comes out bright and warm and softens the sur face of the SHOW 10 such extent that when the animal climbs down and 1tarts in search of his supper the soft snow collects in great clumsy balls on the long foot hairs. The lynx sits. down and with his sharp teeth gnaws away the accumulated snow, gets up

In its pure state it cannot be employed for any useful purpose, owing to its ex- treme brittleness. Its value in alloy ing, however, is great, not only because it hardens metal. but because of its low melting point.

railway system now fairly gridirons the city and extends around each of the islands. New hotels are being built and the older hotels are being enlarged.
 The influence of the tourists presence has also been felt in the remodeling of the telephone system which is now automatic instead of manual; and in the establishment of two great wireless systems, con meeting Hawaii with the American mainland and with ships at sea in all parts Of the central north Pacific. The tourists have also helped bring about the building of modern schoolhouses, the construc- tiou Of modern wharyes and the in stallation Of modern water supply systems.
 In shcrt, the islands are being practically made over and brought up to date. There was only one hotel in Honolulu upto 1900. Then came a great stone structure, occu- pying an entire square down town and costing S2,OO0,oOO. This was the foreruuner of line of modern hotels iu Honolulu as fine as can be found in any city in the world. At the seaside resorts there is an other line of modern hotels. In every way, it thus appears, Hawaii is putting her best foot foremost and preparing to take advantage Of the opportunity which the Panama canal has brought her.
 The traffic through the canal that will directly effect Hawaii is of two kinds - that bound to or from the Asiatic coast and adjacent islands, which needs a way station for supplies or instructions, and that which makes Hawaii its di- rect objective point in connection with local freight or passenger Of through tourist excursions.

AN UNDEYELOPED ASSET

Looking back at the past tourist season in skagway. when our town Was visited by q small army of people from all over the world, who came to see the wonders of this ucrthlaud of which they had heard 50 much from their friends, and to Le entertained and taken care Of while here in manner befttting their stations in life-tUr which they were amply able and perfectly willing 10 pay anything in reason- it seems to Us that We have in a manner failed to take advantage oG one of the great business assets a kindly Providence has Youchsated Us, for it is to tEis sources that We shall have to look in future for a large measure cf our prosperity and wnich should bo fOstered by us ill every possible way.
 The habit most of us have gotten into of sitting around during the intervals between the arrivals Of boats iu port figuring on the prob able profits We are likely to make out of the next bUnch' Of tour ists for rooms, board and the pur- chase ot curiOs, photo cards, etc, could have been much better em- ployed in devising ways and means for the travellers entertainment while here, that would have caused a desire on their part to prolonS their stay, or possibly have con- firmed them i'll a determination to visit Us at some future time
 To show what the tourist tray el is bound to amount to iu Skag- way in the next few years il is only necessary to refer 10 the following account of the wonderful advance that has been made ill the pros perity of the Hawaiian Islands with in the vast fifteen years, and more especially in Honolulu. While 1t may never here reach the propo.- ton it has attained in those fla vored islands of the Pacific there is nevertheless an exceedingly bright prospect before us if we educate ourselves to grasp the Opportuni- ties as they present themselves.
 Tourts: travel to the Hawaiin is lands has been built up by lines op- eratipg from san Francisco and Vancouver, B. c. There are no lines sailing from Honolulu to Los Angeles or seattle, although there is renewed talk of connections Of that kind to be established at an early date.
 The chief result of foreign Visi- tors is seen in Honolulu in the expansion of business in 'al dl- rections and the Identification or the city. There has been a general city remodeling. Streets have been strengthened and widened and laid with better pavements, \ street

 He's quite an athlete, too," Oakley went on admiringly.
 "SO Taylor was telling me-" Freddy broke in. He kicked Taylor down Mott street for a block and a half"
 "Thcre surely must have been some provocatiop."
 "There was. Taylor smoked six of his cigars"
 "Six cigars oughtn't to disturb him like that" said Oakley. Hes the soul of generosity. Why, the ring he gave Mary Is absolutely priceless. It's an heirloom in his family-a large ruby set with four brllliants. Perfectly stunning thing-you ought to see it!'
 q have seen it"
 "What?" Oakley cried. Impossible! He only gave 1t to Mary yesterday aft ernoon."

"This morning when came in found Taylor tossing small object in the air and catching 1t again with such rapidi- ty that it looked like lot of colored balls issuing from a Roman candle. As soon as he saw me he pocketed 1t. My curiosity being aroused, proceeded to knlckle him."
 "Knuckle him?"
 Precisely" Freddy went on. "A schoolboy trick. Hurts like thunder. Old TorIucnada knew his business, Oakley, foS 1t wasn't five minutes be- fore l had it out of my worthy young friend, and there you see It."
 How did Taylor get hold of itT' ask ed Oakley. ......
 More knuckling made him tell" said Freddy. He confessed that last night he attended the Benyenuto Cellini cir cle, having made his peace with Gin hOuliac. Of course he noticed Mary wearing the ring, and when she went into the anteroom to wash her hands and returned without 1t he concluded that she must have left 1t on the lava tory. That's precisely what she had done, as he found out immedlately-and there you are. Lucky I came In just when did"
 And where Is Taylor now"
 i've fired him." said Freddy. i've meant to do 1t every day for the past three weeks, but I've always forgotten about 1t until today"

It was to this chamber that Freddy had been ushered by Oakley on their arrival
 Light up while go and find Mary" he said, and started for the door,
 Hardly had he reached 1t, however, when from the lower floor came q cry, half of rage, half of hystcria, which at once halted Oakley and brought Freddy to his feet.
