Painters Frenzy.

The painter-engraver, Alexander Lu.
nOis, who has just died, excelled in
oriental scenes. He had passed half
his life in the lands Of the Mussulman.
His works were full of light, full of
color, full Of movement. During his
last illness, at Paris, where his ele-
CANT apartments looked out upon the
quay, he was on his couch burning
up with fever. From time to time he
threw glance upon beautiful Van
Dyck. The picture was covered by a
glass. Suddenly In the reflections of a
glass of water he imagined that he
saw in the sparkling light dance Of
odalisques, such as in former days be
had seen in COnstantinople. He could
not restrain himself. He leaped from
his bed and, all trembling, he seized
his palette, his brushes, and frantical
ly set ut work upon a marvellous
sketch. His wife found him nude save
for slight covering over his shout
ders, his eyes sunken, his teeth chat
tering, painting with the fury OF O
mailman. She led him back to his
couch. He died few days later ant
the last picture of the great artist re
manned unfinished.-Le Cri de Paris

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity Of Obtaining Air In
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person in
a thousand knows how the seal Of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice. ~
The small, spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
Ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic, the seal selects spot and be-
gins to drill a hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages 1t; and although he is
obliged to work most of the time, be-
cause the surface of the hole Is con.
tlnually freezing, he keeps 1t open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill In
this manner through 80 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t Is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply Of meat.

Wartime Games in Paris.

Nearly all the kids of 1915 have a
father or brother at the front. They
live In an atmosphere of heroism. All
the little folks-0f the lycee, the
common schools, and even of the kim
dergarten-play soldier In the streets
and In the parks. You see them Mt
their war plays such as Willette has
pictured at Rue st. Vincent de Paul cor
ner much to our delight, ingenious
plays in which II Is hard to take the
part of Boche, and in which justice
would demand that each in turn took
that detested part-but is there ever
any justice, even here?
All, the tiny ramparts and trenches
that have been built by boys and girls
this year on the gllstening sands Of
the beaches, smoothed by the recedlng
tide, only to be leveled when the

The girls In these war games usually
serve as Red Cross sisters; they care
for the wounded and nurse them WITH
Jam and make-believe bandages. Or
else they are godmothers, writing jolly
letters to the brave boys at the front.
But there are some, however, who are
never satisfied unless they, too, can
carry a toy musket and take part in
the observation-disclosures Magazine.

The iron industry of this country has
been adopting the by-prOduct cOking
process at marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil

of the plants also surplus gas is re-
covered and utilized either at the plant
itself or by distribution to outside con.
sumers. There are possibly two or
three very small by-product coke plants
ut which tar and ammonia are not re.
covered for disposal to the outside mar.

CELLO PLAYING HARD WORK
Experiments Show That Four Tons Of
Energy Are Necessary to Play
Single Selection.

A simple air played on the violon-
cello calls for a total expenditure of
energy equal to two and three-quarter
pounds per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
Popular Science Monthly. This Is
vouched for by Prof. POffenberger of
Columbia university, who made some
experiments in his laboratory with the
aid Of the famous Dutch 'eellist
Michael Penha.
A special apparatus Is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surface
Of revolving carbon cylinder is sus-
pended chalk point which is actuated
by q slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. At each pressure
the tension vibrates along the COM
municating connection and records the
energy expended.
At recent test Michael Penha at
times raised the point to a distance
equaling three pounds In weight, that
being the record Of the forefinger. The
pressure alone required to produce the
Enthusiastically luscious tones Of a
simple Bach aria averaged two and
three-quarter pounds per note. The
total energy expended amounted to
9,414 pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount of energy would
be sufficient to carry a laborer through
his entire days work. Yet 1t took but
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount Of force.

Some months ago, while he was gov

keeping a grave face, "in minute,

not smile.

It is probable that few men in New

that a boy or a girl should get @

FIRST IDEA FOR MOTOR CAR

In 1886 he mounted this engine on a

belt.

Burning Bush" Is A Real Gas
Plant.

4 lUhN
The Burning Bush," which is
known to botanists as the Dictam-
nus fraxinella, is regarded as one
of the most wonderful plants in
the world. This plant is native
to Western Asia, though tits now
found in some gardens of the
temperate zone. In connection
with the Dictamnus, tits rather
remarkable that the species is
common where the incident of
Moses and the Burning Bush is
said to have occurred.
A great many people who grow
the plant are quite unaware of
its strange habits. AS a matter
of fact, the Dictamnus secretes a
fragrant essential oil in great
abundance, which botanists say
is produced in especially large
quantities by the flower stems,
in warm weather volatilizing so
that the air surrounding the plant
is impregnated. Further, this
vapor is highly infammable, and
if a naked flame is brought near
to the plant, the fumes at once
take fire with a most singular re-
suit. The whole plant is sur
rounded with cracking, shooting
flames, reddish in color, and leav-
ing a highly aromatic odor behind
them. The Burning Bush does
not seem to be injured in any
way by the fire; for the flames
do not actually come into contact
with the plant itself.
Several conditions are needful
if the experiment with the Burn
ing Bush is to be a success. Thus
it is essential that the air should
be very dry and warm; also that
there should be practically no
wind. The best effects are Sc
cured only just after the opening
of the flowers. 1t will be realized
that these conditions cannot al
ways be relied upon. A plan has
recently been devised by means
of which the infammable nature
of the vapors given out by the
Dictamnus may be shown with
startling effect.
A strong plant of the Burning
Burning Bush is raised in a pot.
At the time when the flowers are
jast reaching perfection. the
'plant is placed in a glass jar of a
Lease. This -is-elesely covered for
some hours before the time of the
experiment. On removing the
cover a light is held over the
plant, when therelis at once a ire
mendous outburst of flame. So
great may be the rush of fire that
the experimenter is cautioned to
keep his face away from the top
of the jar, as a serious burn is
not by any means out of the
question. After an interval of
an hour of so, with the jar or
case closed up, the experiment
may be repeated with similar re-
suits. Masonic Home journal.
