OZA WALDROP? YES, THAT'S REALLY AND
 TRULY HER NAME.
And She Has No Idea Just, Now of Changing It She
 Says So Herself.

Oza Waldrop! That's her really, truly. honest-to- o-goodness name and it's been so longer than she can re- but nevertheless her own name and she isn't going to let a little thing like being a Broadway star cause her to change it, either.
 ''You spell it W-a-I-d-r-o-p,' she told an interviewer in her dressing room at Po1fs theatre just after her admirable performance of the delight full playlet, "Petticoats," last evening. e'I know it's a bit odd. but it's my own name. I'm going to keep it, too.
 t'I never was called anything else, except once. That was when I was only a few months old, so I couldn't help it. As the story was' told to me my mother that he was going to have me rechristened and he was going to call me Coffee. Yes, just plain Coffee '' Miss WaIdrop reiterated as the interviewer looked at her. ques- tioning1y to learn if she had heard alright.
 ssWhy the Mocha monicker? ?'' came the natural inquiry in true inter1ocu- tor tunes.
 "Oh, daddy said I kept him awake nights flashed back the petite artiste, to an aceompaniment of a. merry little laugh that radiates hap piness.
 The interviewer felt much more at home after that, thank you, and pro ceeded to get down to the business in hand with that determinatfon and di- rectness by which celebrated inter l viewers are always known-in their own writings. . Question and after question was fired at the dainty bit | of fe1nininity perched there on a wardrobe trunk, and, the questions eliminated, here's the important and interesting part of the conversation lias Miss Wa1drop told it:

GEN. FRENCH ON SECRET
 VISIT TO THE PREMIER

London, Nov. 30-Ffeld Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces on the western front, was in London yesterday and confer red with Premier Asquith.
 So far as the public knows Field Marshal French had not been in Lon don since he paid a secret visit to the capital late in January.
 Earl Kitchener, British secretary for war, was in Paris yesterday. There have been reports that a movement was on foot to place Gen. Joffre, the French leader, in supreme command of the F'ranco-British forces on the xzzeSterT front, but London has de- nied that there was any foundation for them.

It must not be supposed for an In
slant that bravery is unknown in
this great conflict. Every day on
the firing line Is a day Of bravery,
and incidents Of personal heroisn
are plentiful enough. In the earlier
days Of the fighting was the note Of
bravery especially dominant.

How Plants Die.

That plants die like animals we all
know, but we do not know the exact
moment when they die. For hours a
dead plant seems alive. There is no
twitch, no death spasm. A scientist
has, however, succeeded not only in
noting the precise moment when
plant gives up it's life, but in recording
it's death spasm. The plant is heated
very gradually so as to avoid all excl
tation. This is done by placing the
plant in a water bath the temperature
of which is continuously raised by the
application of a gas or spirit fame. At
60 degrees G. a spasmodic extraction
takes place. All attempts to obtain
response after this fail, even though
the plant is cooled down TO it's normal
temperature. This death temperature
of 60 degrees is constant for all plants.

A Tarrihle AhNss.

The greatest ocean depth yet sound
ed is 1900 feet, near the island Of
Guam. If Mount Everett, the worlds
highest mountain. were plucked from
it's seat and dropped into this spot the
waves would roll 1000 feet about its
crest. Into this terrible abyss the wa
tiers press down with force more than
10000 pounds to the square inch. The
stanchest ship ever built would be
crumbled under this awful pressure
like an egg shell under steam roller
A pine beam fifteen feet long which
held open the mouth of the trawl used
in making a cast at a depth of more
than $4,000 feet was crushed fat as if
it had been passed between rollers.
The body Of the man who should at
tempt to venture to such depths would
be compressed until the flesh was fore
ed into the interstices of the bone and
his trunk was no larger than a rolling
pin. Still the body would reach the
bottom.-Pearson's Weekly.

All Money Good In Canada.

There is no place in the world where
money is under less supervision thar
in Canada. The coins in circulation
there are not confined to the Dominion.
British helfpennies and pennies cir
culate as freely as the cents, and Unit
ed States coins of all descriptions are
accepted as equal in value to the Ca
madam coins, though the United States
refuses to handle the coins of the
Dominion on It's own side of the Dor
der In the course of a busy day in
Canada you are not surprised to meet
coinage of many nations. Sometimes
you get finds. A correspondent who
is an amateur coin collector tells me
he got among his change a beautiful
specimen of farthing of the reign Of
George Ill, and an hour or two after
ward he became the possessor of an
old Irish halfpenny over 100 years old,
with the harp on one side. Probably
these two coins had been carefully
preserved, but poverty induced the pro-
prietors to part with them.-London

"And when may l expect to see your

And then his majesty sent for Signor

asking for more clerks he should make
it his business to see that those already
ON the staff attended to their duties.

The InQuisitive Japs.

The Japanese have a lively desire to
know all about you. They are actively
interested in your health, your bust
ness, your habits, your wealth, your
personal affairs, how you like your
eggs for breakfast, what your clothes
cost, where you are going, when you
are going and why you are going; what
YOU intend to do after you get there,
what your excuse for existing is, how
often you get your hair cut, how many
children you have or have not and
why, what your watch cost, who is
your tailor, how often you wash your
teeth, how much you owe, whether
you have any birthmarks and what
was the occupation of your GRANDPA
Their These and all other topics that
are personal to you they are anxious
to discover. Their curiosity is I'M

they are about it!-Samuel G. Blythe

Ewes Of = Bird

Fishes and birds have an advantage
over human beings in their ability to
see on both sides Of them. Their eyes
are set not for looking straight ahead,
but for looking out on each side. That
is because they balance their bodies
to right or to left, while we balance
forward and backward. A bird can
watch the tips Of both wings at once.
The pilot of an aeroplane has to turn
his head from side to side to see his
wing tips.

Hogan, Casey and O'Brien were hav-

each had forgotten what it was about
originally, and they were wholly obliv-
ious of the gathering crowd until an
urbane and genteel person in frock
coat put in.
Come, come, my man., he said, gen
