Wet Weather and CameIs.

Camels are very sensitive to mois-
ture. In the region Of tropical rains
they are usually absent, and If they
come into such with caravans the re-
suits of the rainy season are greatly
feared. The great humidity of the air
explains the absence of the camel from
the northern slopes Of the Atlas and
from well wooded Abyssinia. This
sensitiveness expresses itself In the
character Of different races. The fin
est, most noble looking camels, with
short silklike hair, are found in the
interior Of deserts, as in the Tuareg
region in north Africa, and they can
not be used for journeys to moist re-
gions. Even in Fezzan, south Of Trip
oil, the animals are shorter and fatter,
with long coarse hair, and in Nile
lands and on coasts it is the same.
These animals, too, are less serviceable
as regards speed and endurance.

a Queer Fish.

A male fish which matches the young
Of its mate is the Chromis paterfamil
ias. 1t is found in the lake of Liberals,
Palestine. Strange to say, this indus
trious fish matches its young In its
mouth. When the female has spawned
In the sand the male approaches and
draws the eggs into his gills, where
they remain until hatched, when they
struggle out of their confinement into
the parents mouth. As many as 200
perfect young are sometimes found in
the mouth Of an adult male. How the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing its young Is mystery. The
grown fish is about seven inches long
and one and three-Quarters wide. Its
back is olive green, shot with blue, and
the belly Is silver white, marked with
green and blue.

Kings and Shaving.

The classic case Of king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him Is that of Dionysius the elder, ty-
rant Of Syracuse, who appears to have
been unable to shave himself, for he
Is said to have resorted to the IN
comfortable device Of smuggling or his
beard with hot walnut shells, says the
London Chronicle. We may suspect
that Napoleon's was another case Of
the kind. Rogers asked Talleyrand
whether Napoleon shaved himself.
"Yes," replied Talleyrand; lone born to
be king has some one to shave him,
but they who acquire kingdoms shave
themselves" That way Of putting it
pleasantly emphasizes the practical su-
periority Of the parvenu to the help
less, spoiled child of heredity, but pru-
dence probably entered into the mat
ter also, If TaIleyrand's statement was
correct.

Phonooraph Records.

Photograph records are made by the
cutting Of lines in wax, from which a
matrix is then formed for the manu-
facture Of the records for use. Edison
found that this matrix could be made
by gold plating the wax impression
and backing up the film Of gold with
copper. A special wax is used, made
Of stearin and parafin, and when the
record is originally made on the wax
it is electrotyped with copper and
nickel to give it hard wearing sur
face. The actual records used on the
monographs are made from the ma
trix of shellac, wood charcoal, barium
sulphate and earth coloring matters;
the matrix is heated and placed in the
warm plastic material, where it is
pressed and cooled. Records are made

Bill For "Tint' Makes Bachelor Issue
Leap Year Declaration.

Elwood, N. J.-Robert W. Hunt, re-
tired college instructor, received let
ter recently from a neighboring town
containing a bill for 40 cents for "tint"
purchased by Mrs. Hunt" Hunt Is a
good looking bachelor with steady in
come, and the inquisitive element Of
Elwood at once interpreted the post
office bulletin In terms Of leap year
possibilities.
To quiet the buzzing gossip, Hunt
has issued the following statement:
1--WE have had several offers Of mar
rage, and one or two ladies have as
sumed we were engaged without max
ing any offer, and It is with fear and
trembling we pass each day OF this
year, which Is Invisible by four. How
ever, when Mrs. Hunt does arrive she
shall come as nature painted her, with
eyes like the heavens, with cheeks
like the rose and with lips like the
damp Of crushed strawberry. She shall
have no need Of tint When We want

British Red Tape.

An English officer who had been,
through mistake, reported KILLED In
action" on his return from the front
went to his bank to cash one Of his
checks. The clerk at the counter, in
stead Of asking the welcome question,
GLOW will you take it?" looked doubt
full and puzzled, stared at the soldier
and finally hurried away to seek ad-
vice elsewhere. He presently returned
with the news that the check could not
be cashed. But you know me, and
that is my signature" exclaimed the
astonished officer. "M-yes," said the
clerk hesitatingly, "but the fact is, sir,
that you're-you're dead, you see, and
I'm told we shall require you to give
proof to the contrary before we can
pay the money"

Double Action Waterfall.

There are a good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow f1ords,
or arms Of the sea, are DISTRACTED by
barriers Of rock. The rising tide flows
over the filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction In
an irresistible torrent. Most curious
Of all Is the waterfall at Canoe pas
sage, where the island Of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the foodtide from the gulf
Of Georgia to the southwark Is held
back at a narrow cleft between two
islands until it pours over In boiling
cascade eighteen feet high with per
haps double the volume Of the Rhine.
At the turn of the tide, however, the
waters from the north rush back into
the gulf, producing cascade Of equal
height and volume. The waterfall &C.
tually flows both ways.-Baltimore Sun.

The Game of Life.

Life becomes, as the stoics more
than once tell US, like a play which
Is acted or game played with coun-
tiers. Viewed from the outside, these
counters are valueless, but to those
engaged in the game their Importance
Is paramount. What really and ulti-
mately matters is that the game shall
be played as it should be played. God.
the eternal dramatist, has cast you
for some part In his drama and hands
you the role. 1t may turn out that
you are cast for a triumphant king.
1t may be for a slave who dies Of tor
ture. What does that matter to the
good actor? He can play either part.
His only business Is to accept the role
given him and to perform it well. "
Success or failure is thing he can de-
termine without stirring q hand. 1t
hardly interests him. What interests
him is that one thing which he cannot
determipe-the action Of your free and
conscious will.-Gilbert Murray.

Old Time Witchcraft.

Jane Wenham was indicted at the
Hertfordshire assizes on March 4, 1712,
for "conversing with the devil in the
form Of q cat" under the provisions Of
the act Of 1904, repealed in 1875. Her
prosecutors wished to have her also In
dicted for practicing witchcraft to the
harm Of Ann Thorn, servant girl SIX
teen years old, but this was not al
lowed, although evidence was produced
at the trial to show what injury had
been done the victim by means OF
crooked pins and by placing cakes and
cats hair In Ann Thorn's pillow and
how the prisoner had caused the death
OF some cattle simply by walking
through turnip field.
The jury brought her In guilty" and
Justice Powell passed sentence Of
death, but took steps to quash the YER
dict. Wenham's prosecutors published
an account Of the case, but their argu-
ments were pulverized by scientific
men. Jane Wenham herself was hber-
ated and taken under the protection of
Colonel Plummer, who gave her a cot
tage, and we are told by DR.. Hutchin-
son that in 1720 the whole country was
fully convinced Of her innocence.-Lon-
don Spectator.
