She Became q Bore.

Most persons who talk about them
selves are bores. A writer In the
American Magazine says:
Zone Of the most companionable wo-
men l ever knew was so completely
transformed by an operation that she
unconsciously became bore to her
friends and to her family by tedious
repetitions of her hospital experience.
Her idea of its importance was so ex-
aggerated that she lost all sense of
proportion. Truly her operation be-
came the alpha and omega of her ex-
istence. From it all events in her life
history dated. 1t was her sole topic
Of conversation. No~matter how skill
fully one might steer the conversation
al bark away from the dreaded topic,
she adroitly brought it back. AS re-
suit she became self centered, intro
spective and bore to her friends. Her
efforts to entertain merely annoyed.
Where she hoped to arouse admiration
she created disgust, and where she
sought sympathy she received only in.

There are more Poles today in the
world than ever before. and their
fecundity Is unrivaled. Their national
feeling was never deeper rooted or
more intelligent. If Pole tells you he
is in favor Of autonomy under Ger
many or Russia or Austria he Is lying
for expediency's sake. The Pole wants
only one thing, and that is independ-
ence. In this are they not like every
other nation worth its salt? care you

Old lronsidss.

Old Ir0nsides Is such cherished ma
tional treasure now that 1t seems In
credible that it was once proposed in
al seriousness to tear it to pieces for
what little value could be got out. Of
the material, remarks the Boston Post.
Holmes was law student at Harvard
at the time. He was only month
more than twenty-one years old. He
wrote his immortal poem with a lead
pencil on stray scrap of paper, yet
it has been said:
'This probably is the only case in
which government policy was chang
ed by the verses Of a college student"
Originally Old 1ronsides was one of
four sister frigates, the Constitution,
the Constellation, the United States
and the President. OF the other three,
alas, only memories remain. The Con-
stellation was broken up, as they in
tended to break up Old 1ronsides. One
of tie others rotted away. at British
dock, and the fourth: was lost at sea.
Cur1ously enough, the story of these
four sister frigates is one of the least
known chapters in American history.
Yet it is well worth reading up.-Chi.

/ LIQUID Fire II vvar.

Liquid fire % q war weapon Is thus
described In IN English Journal:
In the earliest models the combus.
hble liquid was propelled by gas
condenser out of a portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato device as it escaped from the
nozzle Of the projecting instrument.
Later double barreled liquid gun
was devised, having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and piv-
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid is shot from the two barrels a.
multaneously, but only that from the
upper one ignites automatically.
This small, burning stream is 30 d.
rected that 1t unites with the larger,
nonburning one at any desired point
and then, Of course, ignites the larger
Jet. The small stream is then shut of,
the large one continuing to flow.
The flames do not spread backward
along the jet toward the nozzle, but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking the ground, form a veritable
sheet of fire. which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast and as long as it falls

- leaves 0t enc S0lo0n IVY.
No doubt Just picture of poison
ivy is enough to cause some folks to
shudder and remember the time their
face and body became scarlet and
swollen from contact with the leaves.
How it itched and burned! Yet to rub
it was only to make matters worse.
A curious fact is that some persons
are immune from this poison, while
others must not even breathe the pol
len Of the plant. 1t is often confQund-
ed with the Virginia creeper, although
the difference between this is distinct.
The leaves of the latter are divided
into five leaflets, while those of the
former have but three, q fact well
worth remembering.
Strange enough, the witch hazel plant
is sometimes found growing close to
the poison ivy. As witch hazel extract
Is one of the best remedies for ivy
poisoning it would seem nature was
holding out disease in one hand and q
remedy in another.

The Snail and tho Screw.

1t is no doubt true that nearly all
human inventions have been suggested
by natural objects. An engineer points
out an interesting example in the case
Of the screw. the fundamental idea of
which, he believes. was suggested to
primitive man by the spiral shell of
the edible snail. 1t was not the shape
Of the shell that suggested the screw,
but the spiral motion which it is nee
essary to give to the body of the snail
In order to withdraw it from the shell.
This at once showed that an object of
a screw shape embedded in a solid
powerfully resisted attempts to with
draw it by a straight pull. The hint
was enough, and the screw became one
of the earliest Of mans inventions.

Keeping busy is the root of all evil.
Man is by nature so constituted that
he must keep busy. This would be a
fine thing If he could always find
things worth doing, but unfortunately
most Of us lack the intelligence and
imagination necessary to fill our active
hours with useful endeavor. and &C.
cordingly In our weakness we fall back
on activities which are not only use

Heat at the Psrsjan Gulf,


The Persian gulf and it's coasts are
in summer about the hottest place on
earth's surface, temperature of l2O
degrees In the shade being not un-
common, while a black bulb solar ther-
mometer has registered 1877 degrees in
the sun.
When one remembers that the hot
test room in Turkish bath is usually
kept at about 100 degrees the appalling
nature of this Persian heat will be
better realized.
The greatest heat ever known in
England was on Aug. Is, 1893, when q

registered. But on this day the sun
temperature did not quite equal that
