DIRTY FLOOR WAS GOLD MINE
Man Paid $4,000 for Privilege Of Clean
ing 1t and Made Profit of $4,000
on the Deal.

Would you pay $4,000 for the priv
ilege Of cleaning a dirty floor? There's
man in New York who made a profit
of $4,000 by doing that very thing.
Some months ago d manufacturing
jeweler on Pearl street decided that
twenty-five years was long enough for
any sane man to work, and at once
set about the business of retiring
Ameng- his assets was listed the priv
ilege Of sweeping the floor of his fac
tory, and ne called for bidders.
One offered $1,000, which was re-
fused WITH 4pen amusement; another
bid $500 and was turned down, uid
then third, after carefully appraising
the floor, ceiling and walls. concluded
to take long chance, and bid $4,000.
First the bidder had the floor cleaned
carefully. Then carpenter was called
in. The floor boards were taken up,
and after the swecpings that had piled
I'D under them had been carefully col
lected new boards were put down. The
old boards were planed off, and the
shavings, together with the sweepings
and the dust from the ceiling and
walls, were burned.
Here stepped in the modern alchem-
list. The ashes were turned over to
him, and through n secret process of
his own he recovered enough gold, sill
yer and platinum to net the successful
bidder a cash profit of $4,000.

W0MEn ARE WAFER CAhh!E5S
Story Of Jacob and Rachel Is Declared
to Be Transcript of the
Arab Life Of Today.

In the East, where water is scarce,
a village generally grows up near
well or fountain. Abraham's servant
asked for water to drink, Rebekah
made haste and let down her pitcher
from her shoulder and said, drink,
and | will give thy camel drink also"
A similar request would be made now
and a similar answer would be given
though a modern young lady of the
country might for your eamels or
horses put water into the trough-an
article always found near wells, and
frequently made of stone.
Canon Tristram once asked for q
drink from an Arab girl who had Il
water jar on her shoulder. She set 1t
down for his use, and would not ac-
cept any gratuity. Tears filled her
eyes, and she said that she gave the
water freely for the love Of God and
for the sake of her mother, who had
died lately.
Rebekah carried her "balass," or
water jar, on her shoulde". A modern
Syrian woman does this but an Egyp-
ton carries 1t on her head.
The boys and girls of Bedouin life
still meet ut wells. The story of
Jacob and Rachel is, even in minute
details, transcript of the Arab life of
today. Evening Is called now, as 1t
was 1000 years ago, "the time that
women go out to draw water"
A person going to an Eastern well
brings a leather bucket and a rope
with which to lower 1t. This is one of
the utensils necessary for an Eastern
journey.

The Camera as Detective.

The camera has been frequently In
strumental In the detection OF Grim
inals. In case Of forgery photography
Is Invaluable, for there is no forger N
the world clever enough to battle IT'S
detective skill. An interesting proof
of this was provided few years ago
In the case of a forged will An en-
larged photograph revealed the pen
ciled lines over which the signatures
of the testator and witnesses had been
written, although no trace of them
was visible through the microscope.
This is one OF the pecullarities OF the
camera, that it brings to light marks
which are invisible through a micro
scope, Just rs II has been known to re
veal the signs of measles and smallpox
several days before they become visible
to the naked eve.

Whale Not Fish.

Whales and porpolses are not hsh.
according to statement issued by the
bureau Of fisheries, so far as their flesh
Is concerned.
They are mammals, like cattle ana
sheep, and in texture, appearance and
taste their meat is more like beef than
anything else.
The bureau OF fisheries has been de-
voting much time TO study of the
matter and has conducted a great deal
of correspondence upon the subject,
with the result that It now advocates
the use of whale, porpolse, dolphin
and "other cetnceGns" as a substitute
for beef.
