SHAKESPEARE is ALL WRONG
Police Judge Rules World Isn't Stage,
After All, and Fines Woman I'M
personator Of Men.

Police officers and detectives can
spot the shifty eye of Il pickpocket,
the heavy jaw of a stick-up man-per-
haps-and the other peculiar physical
characteristics of the male clan Of
crime. But it takes a pOlicewOman
to detect suspicious characters by
their dress. Police routine and disci-
pline cannot, apparently, wear off the
keen instinct Of a woman for the
style of a tOque, the set of sash,
and the hang of outer garments in
the back.
Recently Bella de Turk walked down
town. She got as Ear as the post
Office. In so doing she probably
passed several policemen who marked
no sign of suspicious character in the
passerby. But at the post office stood
Mrs. Dollie Fisher .and Miss Emily
Greer, policewomen. The eyes of the
policevOmen diScerned at once that
the figure of the gentleman walking
by would have been set off to much
greater advantage had he worn fem
mime dress, says the Columbus Dis
patch. SO they accOsted him and
found it was her And Miss De Turk,
fitted out in a mans cap, coat and
trousers and other apparel to match,
took a ride to the police station with
Mrs. Fisher and Miss Greer. There
she refused to solve the riddle of her
masculine attire and was released on
bond.

A Scientific Prediction.

The story is often told Of the great
naturalist, Cuvier, that, given a SIN
Gle bone he could reconstruct the an
imal to which it belonged. That
somewhat similar law of organization
runs through the various species that
form families in the animal kingdom
is indicated by a curious case of scien-
tific prediction, to which attention
was called at a recent meeting Of the
Biological society in this country.
nuremberg, while studying the min
ute animals called diatOms, found that
many species were distinguished by
the number of rays they possessed.
But in the series Of specimens that
he had he could find bone having re-
spectively q, 20, 81, 81, so, Al, AZ, A.
As, 46, 4S and 40 rays. Still he pre-
dicted that the missing species Woulu
some day turn up, and he was right
for ten of them were afterward dis'
covered, although the remaining TWO
have not yet been found.

Flsh TeIephone whereabouts.

Fish, when they swim. make noise, and this can be detected by the tele- phone, according to the Scientific American, which says:
 Most of us have watched with in- terest the movements of shoals of fish beneath the surface of the sea or of a lake, but few will have associated with those movements the idea of noise. Nevertheless, such movements do make a noise, and Norwegian fish ermen, it is said, have taken advan- tage of that fact to devise an arrange ment to assist them in detecting and locating fish at considerable depths. They lower a micrOphOne by means of a wire from their boat into the water, the other end of the wire being connected with a telephone receiver on the boat. As the latter slowly pro ceeds on her course in search of haul, an operator keeps the receiver of the telephone to his ear and he can tell instantly when a shoal of fish is being approached.

jellies. Up in the south room Lane Marshall worked on his play, and was away sometimes for days riding in his small, high-pOwered car.
 One night in August he had worked until midnight. He put out his lamp and sat down by the open window, looking out into the mOOn-bathed gar den. Perhaps he slept a while, for when he opened his eyes he saw slim, white-cIad form fitting down the path to the boXwOod maze where an old fountain occupied the center. He could see it all from his post, and he smiled when he remembered how he had lost himself in there one day and the odd child, Amabel, had led him out of his captivity.
 He watched the form, hardly believ- ing 1t could be Amabel, for he had never seen her without the hideous cap. She was wearing a very straight white dress that hung Imply about her bare feet A great cloud of dusky hair floated behind her. Her feet hardly touched the ground, so lightly did she skim down the path and through the tangled maze. Pungent Odors of boxwood came to him and the fragrance of roses invaded his solitude. Now he saw that the child was dancing, dancing some interpreta- tiOn of her own-a worship of the sil- yer mOon-the resplendent stars-the God above. She typiied youth long ing for play-her poses were innocent ly charming
 "POOr little lonely thing-pOOr little butter1y-girl The child needs broth CTS and sisters to play vith-Pu talk to Miss Hesketh tomorrow" He went to bed and hours afterward he thought he heard the untitled sound of clos ing door and he knew that 'poor little butterfly" was folding her tired wings for rest. The next morning at break fast he suddenly turned and looked Amabel in the face.
 "How old are you, little girlY' he demanded.
 Twenty" confessed startled Ana bel.
 Mercy on us-what are you doing in this disguise?" he wanted to know, and he nipped off AmabePs sweeping cap. There in all her gracious girl hood, he saw Amabel Hesketh for the first time. T beg-your pardon-I- didn't-know," he stammered, and fled to his own rooms.
 "Oh, Aunt Lydia" cried Amabel, ''AIr. Marshall has found me out, and he has gone up to his rOom-and he is quite nice when he looks at one that way"
 Miss Hesketh smiled grimly. ''I shall have to wait on him myself and you can work in the kitchen, child" she planned, but Mr. Marshall found his way to the great Jagged kitchen, and as Miss Hesketh soon became re- signed to his pleasant company he found his woOing of Amabel progress ing under the eagle eye of stern aunt. When the day came that he asked Miss Hesketh for Amabel she told him frankly that AmabePs mother had been a great dancer, Maria. To her surprise he made no objection and she could only wonder why he spoke of happy Amabel as "PoOr little but terfly," but she did not know of that midnight escapade in the garden and the awakening of Marshall's love.
 So love and peace and happiness came again to the old house, and children played in the old garden and lost themselves in the maze, and Lydia scolded, and indulged and was never so cOntented in all her severe drab life as she was in these later. golden days.
