Unidentified Sea Monster.

A sea monster believed to have
come up from the depths of the Gulf
stream to die and drifted into the
shallow water north of the Key, where
it was discovered by Z. Z. GarretsOn
is a subject for much inquiry by scien-
lists. A fragment of the skull, weigh
ing three tons and measuring 16 feet
in length and feet across, was taken
to Miami in tow of the yacht COrSair.
Thousands of curious persons visited
the dock, but none could name the
creature, and Mr.. GarretsOn was I'M
certain as to the species to which it
belongs. He is inclined to the Opin-
ion, however, it is a giant Squid, for
the only bone he could salve was the
skull. Mr.. GarretSOn declared that
when he first saw the monster it was
surrounded by sharks which were de-
vOuring the flesh. He did not know
how long it was, as he saw only 80 or
90 feet of it, with the head protruding
or feet above the water. Mr.. Gar
retsOn, with the aid of the yacht,
pulled the head from the body and in
doing so broke the skull. He is con-
fident there is another piece of the
skull there as large, or larger, than
the fragment he took to Miami.

Hawaiian Volcano Active.

The great volcano, Kilauea, 80 miles
from Hilo, Hawaii, which for two
years has been exhibiting tremendous
volcanic force, recently overlooked the
rim of its active throat and burst
forth in fresh activity and brilliance.
After weeks of steady rising of the
lava in the pit of Halemaumau, the
House of Fire" the molten column
reached the rim and poured over it
toward the southeast side of the great
crater, while simultaneously another
lava stream burst through the crater
floor some distance from the first.
Hundreds of fire fountains began play
ing on the numerous lava lakes and
sheets of flame gushed internationally
from beneath the crust surface.
Along the main line of the old rift
which the new flow is following, sew
eral lava cones of small craterS have
formed and these add to the weird
scenes with their laundering blasts of
steam and fire.

Perfume at $50 Per Ounce.

The harvest of Bavarian roses for
last year, being one of the worst on
record, the price of the essence has
gone up very considerably. The
wholesale price just now is round
about $50 an ounce. Before the war
it was 81. Contrary to popular be-
lief, however, altar of roses is by no
means the most expensive scent on
the market. Civet is worth wholesale
just now $50 an ounce, and musk 800 /;
ambergris, which forms the basis for
nearly all the best quality scents,
costs $50 an ounce, and Is hard to get
at that. These prices refer, in the
case of perfumes to the essential oils,
one or two drops of which will make
quite a decent-sized bottle of scent.
Only dealers in precious stones carry
more valuable stock in a small space
than the dealers in these highly-con'
centrated essential oils. A quite mod
erate-sized safe in the Office of firm
of wholesale perfumers will frequent
ly contain stock worth S125,OOO.

BEGAN Great University.

An anonymous pamphlet, written
and published by Franklin in 1749,
concerns the myriads of "Old
PENIS" sons very nearly. Its author
has described its genesis in the fol-
lowing words: Having acquired some
little reputation by projecting the Pub
lie Library in 1872, and obtaining the
subscriptions by which it was estab-
lished, and by proposing and promot-
ing with success, sundry other schemes
of utility, in 1749. | was encouraged to
hazard another project, that of a Pub
lie Education for our Youth. Before
L went about to procure subscriptions
thought it proper to prepare the mind
of the people by a pamphlet, which /
wrote and printed and distributed with
my newspaper gratis; the title was
Proposals Relating to the Education
of Youth in Pennsylvania From this
small beginning sprang the university

Paris Not French CAPITAL.

Paris is not the capital of France
This is not a paradox nor joke, but
an official fact. PariSianS who are
given to an alarmiSt disposition are
disturbed in their minds, for from the
fact that Paris has ceased to be the
capital of the country since 1914, re
suits that all official documents of the
republic of France signed since the
above date are theoretically illegal.
September 3, 1914, when the govern
ment left Paris before the menace of
the German advance, the Official Jour-
nal announced that Bordeaux was
hencefOrward and until further notice
the legal capital of France, and Off
cial documents dated from Bordeaux.
Until December this procedure was
followed. One by one the ministries
came back to Paris, and by December
IL all documents were once again dated
from Paris.
No one, however, in the stress of
the times, thought to insert a notice
in the Official Journal TO the effect that
Paris once again had become the cap
ital of France.

Biblical Truths Revealed.

Work by psychologists has thrown
great flood Of light and rich under
standing on the Bible
This point was emphasized by Jo-
siah Penniman, acting provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, in a re-
cent address on the literary back
ground of the Bible.
Their discoveries of records do not
confirm the Bible" he said, "for it
needs no confirming, but they give
US clearer understanding of the
Bible"
The story of the prodigal son was
cited by Doctor Penniman as one
example. When it is known that the
laws at that time made it possible
for young man to ask for and re-
ceive his inheritance. and to go Gin
to far country the story is more
clearly understood.
Records have been unearthed which
show that the selling of Joseph to
the caravan of merchants bound for
Egypt was one of many similar trans
actions that happened along this road.
The greatest literary background of
the New Testament is the Old Tesla
ment, said the speaker but there are
number of books, among them the
Wisdom of Solomon" and the Last
Days of David" which throw a pro
found light on the parallels and incl
dents recorded in the New Testament.

Music Makes Life Brighter.

Seeking to relieve the strain of long
hours of labor and the discordant
sounds of constantly passing trains, a
ticket seller in a subway station in
Brooklyn has installed a photograph
in his little BOOTH
Since its installation the machine
has not only made the life of the agent
happier and brighter but has sent hun
dreds of passengers away to their of
fees in the mornings with smile upon
their faces
The Interurban Rapid Transit COM
pany, on whose property this innova-
ton has been made, has voiced no pro-
test. Indeed it is limited among reg
ular users of the subways that the
photograph may prove an asset to the
Interborough in that it is likely to
attract travellers who might otherwise
take the Brooklyn Rapid Transit sub
way.

WENT UP IN RECORD TIME
Comfortable House That Was Begun
and Practically Completed in
Single Day.

A farmer in one of the Middle West
aFn states bought material for
house and then discovered that for
tack of means he could not go on with
it. The stuff lay on the ground for
months. when one day u generous
thought came into the mind of a con-
tracing builder He called his men
around him and asked for volunteers
to build the farmers cottage. telling
them he would undertake to do it with
in one day if they would contribute
their work Twenty-six carpenters, ma
sons and painters agreed. Oh the con-
ditiOn that the farmer would furnish
a chicken dinner. and a time was fixed
for all to report at the site of the pro-
posed building.
Every man appeared on time and all
went at once TO work. Each worker
was assigned TO a particular part, and
the house began to go up with a rush.
When noon came the framework was
all up and the chimney was started.
Then came dinner. The wife of the
farmer had fried two dozen chickens.
There were ten loaves of bread, four
dozen ears of corn and nearly a bushel
Of mashed potatoes. The dessert con-
sisted of cherry cobbler and various
kinds of pie. The contractor had TO
call off his men for fear they would
eat so much they would not be able
TO finish the job.
The hurry began again. Before the
roof was on the plastererS were at
work, and at exactly six o'clock the
cottage was finished, all but the sec
Ond coat of paint and the skim plas-
ter. neither of which could be put on
before the first coat dried. Everything
else, even to putting on the locks and
hinges, was done before the men were
called off, and done well.
The contractor cOmplimented his
men when the job was complete. He
said that although he had done
hurry" work before, he had never
known a house to be begun and COM
pleted in a day.
