aasaIina Once pespissd.

It is interesting to note how despis- ed and perhaps, for the time, harm full byproduct may develop into the chief product of an industry and a shortage seriously affect the general comfort and economy of our lives.
 Just now gasoline is an everyday ex- ample. In the time of the early coal oil lamp many dangers lurked in the poorly refined oil, and every effort was made to increase the yield of high flash kerosene and remove for this reason gasoline from the oil. This gasoline was then little more than waste prod uct, to be disposed of when possible or thrown away and allowed to evaporate or even run into the rivers with the re- sulting danger of fire. Now all is changed, and the utmost effort of the chemist and engineer is called for to devise means of increasing the yield of this despised byproduct at the expense of the higher boiling fractions in the crude oil-Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering.

Polyglot.

Even in New York city, where noto- riously all the races of the inhabited globe are cast into the common melting pot, it is not often that one sees the compositeness of the population quite so concretely Illustrated as it was on a subway car the other day. On one side of the car. sitting alongside of each other, all in a row, were five men and one lone woman According to the observant and veracious straphanger who reports the occurrence, one of the five men was reading German news paper, the next was absorbed in an Italian sheet, the third was occupied with an English paper, the fourth with a paper in Jewish text, while the fifth was busy with Greek magazine. The lone womdn. sandwlched in near the middle of the line, was reading a French magazine. Presumably there were some few persons in the car who were content with purely American lit- erature, but the straphanger, who hap pens himself to be Irish, does not men, ton them.-New York Post.

The ssors's Lazy House Building.

The Ssor,<'s Lazy ,iouse Building.
 The most interesting sight in the Rotterdam zoo was the stork, whose nest is set high on a pinnacle of the buffalo house. He was building in the leisurely style of the British working man. He would negligently descend from the heavens with stick. This he would lay on the fabric and then carefully perform his toilet, looking around and down all the time to see that every one else was busy. When. ever his eye lighted on a toddling child or perambulator it visibly brighten ed. My true work!' he seemed to say. This nest building is mere by paths of industry" After drinking and overlooking and congratulating him self thus for few minutes he would stroll off over the housetops for anoth CT stick.

Costly Economy.

sThe secret of saving money is econ. omy, don't you think P asked of the sad faced little man on crutches, adja- cent to whose home I had just moved. We had been making our acquaintance through common subject of interest.
 The little man sighed. Perhaps" he said rather sadly. "but one must al ways be careful in selecting those things on which it is best to econo- mize."
 I waited attentively, knowing that he had something on his mind which he would feel better for telling.
 My wife," he resumed. wouldn't let me sprinkle ashes on the path and steps at our home for fear I would track some of it into the house and in jure the carpets.
 T slipped on the top step, broke my leg, and it cost me $S46 for doctors bills, besides $425 thus far in loss of salary. This would have paid for new carpets in every room in the house and left enough for an extended vacation for my wife"
 And I thought from his tone of voice that the last idea appealed to him ruth CT strongly.-Judge.

Did His Best.

The young politician was as obliging as possible, but there was a limit to his possibilities. When the reporter asked him what his wife would wear at the mayors reception he assumed a confidential air.
 'I'n tell you just as much as I know myself" he said. "IAst night she told me she should wear white. This morning at breakfast she said she'd decided on her rose colored gown, and when I said goodby to her she had spread a gray one beside the rose col ored on one chair and her black lace beside the white on another and was taking something else out of the closet If her hair hadn't caught on a hook as she turned round might have been able to tell you more."

Her Only Criticism.


 Little Dorothy not only liked her tea and coffee to have the appearance of being ''real and truly" but she also liked to taste the flavor of each. One afternoon her mother took her to 8 friends home, where tea was served at 5 o'clock.
 The hostess gave to Dorothy what she usually gave to her own children, of Dorothy's age-viz, hot water, sugar and milk. Dorothy tasted hers politely and ate her little cakes.
 Why, Dorothy, you aren't drinking your tea, dear. Isn't it sweet enoughY asked the hostess.
 "Yes, Mrs. O., it's sweet enough" re- piled the child. fel
 'Then why aren't you taking it?"
 "It's too dull," she replied. = New York Times.

fact that the fly was watching the movements of it's would be captor out of all or most of its 5000 eyes. An
 other reason for its rapid retreat Is that, instead of seeing one hand com ing toward it, the fly would have seen
 at least 7,5oO hands all looking alike and all moving down upon it in the same direction. A third reason of the fly's nimbleness is its ability to VI brate it's wings nearly 700 times in . second and to travel through the air at a rate of mile in two and hah minutes or twenty-four miles an hour"
