Appearances Were Against Her.

the other day concerning Lady Sybil

for their entertainment.
At the close of the meal one of the
guests, not in the least realizing who
she was. shyly offered her a tip, which
was politely declined.
II really don't need 1t. you know"
said Lady Sybil smilingly. "I've got
plenty of money.
''Is that 500" exclaimed the soldier,
in tones of evident surprise. allowing
his gaze to rest on the plain linen
overalls she had donned for the oc-
,casion.
"You've got plenty Of money. have
you?"
Lady Sybil nodded assent.

Malaria In EnoIand.

Malaria was once common in GER
tain parts of England, but as result
Of drainage and the use of quinihe. it
was completely stamped out. notwith-
standing the fact that anopheline mos
quitoes remain in the country. The
parasitic cycle was broken, and the
insect was no longer infected. Now
comes the report Of recrudescence
Of indigenous malaria in England. Ac-
cording to q circular issued by the To-
cal government board, many men have
contracted the disease while fighting
on the eastern war fronts, and have
brought it home with them; thus they
serve as foci of infection for the civil
ian population. Measures are. being
taken to dea! with the carrier mos
quitoes.

Rock. In NOISY conelave.

The ways Of rocks in France,
somewhere in the army zone. puzzle
a correspondent who writes that their
behavior at the advent Of mild wealth
er was peculiar. They congregated in
immense numbers on few trees near
his billet; the trees were literally
black with them; every twig and
branch was crowded with q screaming
mob Of birds, that wheeled up and
down in great excitement. Sometimes
they settled on the fields, but not to
feed. The writer surmises that, hav-
ing on fine day resolved to visit their
old nests, as is their habit. they found
that the woodcutters-busy in France
as they are in England. had destroyed
their nesting sites. The hurly-burly
in the trees was probably then due
to the rocks all giving their advice 81
multaneously as to what ought to be
done in such untoward circumstances.

First editions and rare books often
bring prices at sales which excite the
wonder Of the uninitiated, but large as
the sums received sometimes are. 1t
often happens that volume goes for

the case Of a Douay Bible which

WEIGH the Babies.

II you have babies to weigh prepare
to weigh them now. This is the ba.
bies' year. 1t began April 6, the first
anniversary of our entrance into the
war. The first step is to weigh all the
children under five years of age. The
idea is to begin with the children, to
build up the nation Of tomorrow.
Many of the physical defects which
caused the rejection Of applicants fol
enlistment in the army and navy are
believed to have had their beginning
in infancy and the committee believes

from these tests. Height, weight and

;. WORLD MOVED FASTER
Existing Conditions Would BE Very
Greatly Upset BY increased Reta.
tstion, ~ Shown Here.

Conjecture has often been made 90
to what would happen if the earth
were to rotate faster upon its axis
than it does. OF course, If 1t went 1a
times as fast as 1t does now, bodies
ut the equator would weigh nothing
person would jump up into the air
and fail>to come down again. A man
might weigh 200 at the poles and
nothing at the equator, while his
weight would vary for intermediate
points. If he approached the equator
he would get lighter and If he re-
coded from it he would get heavier.
A man could carry house on his
shoulders very near the equator, while
near either pole he could only carry
what one can now. On this account
labor would be very dear near the
poles and very cheap near the equa-
tor. 1t would certainly be interesting
to know which section of the earth
would be more populous-whethef
everyone would 90 north for good
wages or 60 south for cheap work
men. The railroad problem would be
momentous unless the railroads all
ran east and west, when q uniform
rate would obtain on any particular
east-and-west line.
Journeys to the south would be even
more popular than they are now, for
they would make everyone feel better
and in buoyant spirits; more spriAgy,
too. SO that people could walk far:
ther without getting tired, and could
jump over any obstacle that present
ed itself without coming down with
too hard a thump.
There is no planet now known that
has such rapid rotation as is pic.
tured here, but there are several
where man would weigh great deal
less than on earth. On the moon q
man would weigh only fifty or sixty
pounds and could jump as many feet
without suffering serious discomfort
But this state of affairs obtains over
the whole planet, because it is due
to absence Of gravitative force and
not to centrifugal, as would be the
case on the rapidly rotating earth.

Mary of Scots was crowned in the
castle hall. Her son, afterwards James
the Sixth, passed his baby days here.
The iron bars at the windows Of some

Years afterwards he was crowned as
king in the same walls. John Knox
preached the coronation sermon.

]! Proof Of Their Possession
4 Of intelligence.

The nature and character of the
monkey are not changed by any. train.
ing that he may receive. All the little
tricks that may be taught him in cap
dvity will add little to what he IL
accustomed to practice in his wild
state. The chief difference to him is
that he has different set of victims
to torment. Those who have had
chance to watch the rascals In their
native wilds and native wildness find
them up to the same mischievous
pranks they play in captivity.
Every little while our expedition
passed under trees occupied by troops
Of monkeys, some of them Of the large
kind that had given the explorers
much trouble on q former occasion.
One large tree in which they had e.
tablished their quarters stretched its
branches over q stream twenty yards
or more.
While the leader Of the expedition
was watching the antics Of the mon.
keys, two crocodiles showed their
heads just underneath and remained
stationary with their ugly shouts
sticking up in the air. In various
countries this is common dodge of
the crocodiles to entice the monkeys
within their reach, and it was e1-
pected by the witnesses of this Incl
dent that one or more of the noisy
animals would fall victims to the
goggle-eyed monsters below, and it
was with considerable curiosity that
the result was awaited.
AS soon as the black-looking heads
popped up the monkeys became silent.
Presently one big fellow, evidently Of
authority in the monkey republic,
came down to reconnoiter. He re-
turned, and in few minutes came
back with long. thin stick in his
hand and accompanied by about q
hundred of his friends. They began
to chatter and to pelt their foes, but
the crocodiles took no notice. The
onlookers thought they seemed to give
a wink Of satisfaction at seeing their
silly victims coming within their
reach.
Nearer and nearer they came, until
some of them were barely six feet
above the crocodiles. and the men
watching were expecting every instant
to see one of them dragged under the
water. All of sudden the monkey
with the stick leaned over and drove
1t into the eye Of the crocodile nearest
him. The wounded reptile sank like
lead and was quickly followed by its
comrade.
There was no installing the howl Of
delight that greeted this stratagem
and its success. It was perfectly hu.
man in its tone and was taken up in
vengeful glee by all the monkeys in
the neighborhood. The gravity Of de.
meanor with which the old fellow
committed this assault was laughable
In the extreme. He went to work
with all the caution Of an old lawyer,
and when he had inflicted the poke he
hauled himself up with an alacrity
that showed he could form very
good estimation of the danger that
he ran.
