him everything was Il joke, the subject
Of a bonmot. The lightest and dainti.

lock of gray hair in it's proper place as
he came into the room, with apologies
and excuses, none of them true, of
which he vas perfectly conscious and
also that they were not believed.

PERFUME OF MUSK.
The Odor Is Penetrating Because tho
Substance Is Radio active.

The Odor Is Penetrating Because tho
Substance Is Radio active.
The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er Of musk perfume is accounted for
by the fact that it is radioactive. The
United States consul at Chunking,
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
in Il way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio.
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry it. If it is held
close to the body for any length OF
time it produces sores that are proba-
bly similar in character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk is a secretion Of certain glands
or pouches of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
of the year. 1t is difficult to obtain
pure. and one Of the largest French
manufacturers of perfume keeps a rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border. for the sole purpose of
buying it.
Three thousand pounds of musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half of this
has passed through Tachienlu, which
is one of the principal musk markets OF

If Animals Could Speak.

1t is a startling fact that If some ami
mails could tell their life history they
would be able to recall events which
happened hundreds of years ago. A
Russian eagle, for instance, would be
able to remember watching with
greedy eyes as n by II the French
soldiers under Napoleon fell exhausted
out Of the ranks in their awful retjeat
from Moscow in 1912. There are froc-
odiles alive in India today which saw
the first English traveller set foot there,
while there are whales in the sea which
may have skirted the coast Of France
when it was invaded in 1415. A great

The Colossus Of Rhodes,

The remains Of the Colossus of
Rhodes have been dispersed beyond
possibility of recovery or even Of trac-
ing. 1t stood for little more than half
a century and then, in 224 B. c.. was
overthrown by an earthquake. The
Rhodians raised from benevolent out
siders large sums Of money for it's res
toration, but divided the fund among
themselves, asserting that the oracle
Of Delphi had forbidden them to set
it up again. So there the ruin lay un-
til G72 A. D.. when the Saracens sold

900 camels and went away-literally-

WHISPERING GALLERIES.
Old World Churches With Remarkable
Acoustic Properties.

Acoustic Properties.
The most celebrated whispering gal
lery is that which surrounds the base
Of the interior of the dome of st. Pauls
cathedral, London. A person speaking
neal its surface can be heard distinctly
by one listening near the smooth wall
at the other extremity of the diometer,
but not elsewhere.
In the cathedral Of Gloucester a whis-
pering passage leads from one aisle to
the opposite behind the east window Of
the choir. 1t is seventy-tive feet long,
six and n half feet high and three feet
wide in the form of half an irregular
octagon. The walls and ceilings are Of
freestOne. and the slightest whisper
travels from end to end.
The cathedral of the Tai Mahal in
Agra, India. has most marvellous ech-
oes and reverberating qualities, but is
scarcely a whispering gallery. The
whole cathedral of Girgenti. in Sicily,
has this character owing to the pecul-
lar structure Of its walls. These re-
markable properties also belonged to
the Ear of Dionysius," cut in the rock
at Syracuse in the shape Of a parabolic
curve, ending in an elliptical arch. 1t
Is said that the tyrant seated in a small
chamber over a hundred feet from the
spot occupied by his captives by this
means could hear every word spoken
by his prisoners. London Answers.

An Irish drill sergeant was instruct

difficulty In getting a countryman of
his to halt when the command was
given. After explaining and illustrat-
