Flower Worth Small Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars is an eXtra0r'
binary price for q single plant yet II
was paid by English horticulturiSts
for an orchid raised in Amer. "a, the
Catteleya gigaS alba.
This C~atteleya was lowered in 1910,
and exhibited at an orchid show In the
United States. where it was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found IN
1909 in Il lot of other specimens OF
Catteleya gigas. 1t vas only by chance
that the plant was not sold for a dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most Of its companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally all the speci.
lei were potted.
To the great surprise Of the horti-
culturists when, next spring, the plant
came up ii was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold in London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

DOES AWAY WITH ALL PAIN
Remarkable Anesthetic May Soon Be
Employed in Delicate Dental
Surgical Operations.

A cOal-tar chemical for the elimina-
erutions, simple of application and
suitable for repeated and universal
use in oral surgery, according to the
Scientific American, is announced by
Or. Joseph A. Klein Of New York
city.
This new chemical is liquid in form,
is applied on Il pellet of cotton TO the
gum or mucous membrane surrounding
The tooth TO be anesthetiZed or into
n cavity prior to excavation where a
tooth is to be filled or treated. 1t
produces complete local aneSthesia In
from two to eight minutes and elm
mates all feeling for from n to six
hours.
Doctor Klein has extracted teeth
and pulps painlessly by the use Of this
chemical. It's effect is entirely local,
so it may be applied with perfect safe
ty, regardless of the patients age or
general physical condition, and it Is
particularly valuable as an aneSthetic
in the extraction Of children's teeth.
1t leaves no disagreeable after-effect,
but because Of its long period Of ac-
tivity gives the nervous system ample
time to ecover from the shock Of OPP
GRAFTON before the nerves In the area
of the operation regain their normal
feeling or activity.

FIND RELIC OF OLD LONDON
Arch Of Bridge Which Must Have Been
Butt Centuries Ago Just
Brought to life.

A very interesting relic Of old Lon
don has com to light, according TO
the London Times, an arch of old Lon
don bridge, which was demolished dur
ing the construction of the new Lon
don bridge, which began in lS25. The
arch now discovered is the second from
the north side of the Old bridge. and
is close TO st. Mugnus' church. 1t vas
disclosed during some building opera
tons now in progress.
The first stone bridge over the
Thames was built in 1l76, but the
bridge was constantly repaired and
restored, so that there is no evidence
of the exact date Of this particular
arch. 1t was apparently medieval, and
Is built of Reigate stone with a very
fiat trajectory. At the beginning OF the
Eighteenth century, however, three Hat
wrought-stone supporting ribs were
put in, and the middle one Of these Is
dated 1903. The arch is not yet en-
tirely uncovered, but a springer al each
side is just being disclosed, and the
span Is estimated to be about 80 foot.
h under surface Of the arch Is con
siderably waterworn between the add
ed ribs. Ii Is n of the arches close
to which the mill wheel stood for the
raising Of water into the watertower
that stood alongside the bridge. This
arch stood in the river, and is, there
fore. an evidence Of the limits which,
as time has gone on, have been i'm
posed on the Thames, the river being
Low much narrower than ii was in
medieval times. 1t IS understood that
this relic Of old London is TO be care
fully preserved.

Mohammedan Law.

In the Moslem state Of Turkey the
laws Of the empire rest in principle
on the basis Of the Koran, the Hadith,
or traditions of Mohammed, and the
reported sayings of his successors, all
of which are binding upon the SOW
ereign Of the state as upon all Mos
lens. Each successive sultan, how
ever, has enacted statutes as suited
his individual purpose and, by virtue
Of his absolute authority, his laws
have stood until others have swept
them away. The nearest approach to
n Supreme court justice is the sultan.
He lnterprets 60 the law as he thinks
best for his people.-New York Tnb-

Memoria, for Baxter Doas.

At the summer home of Governor
Baxter of Maine on Mackworth island,
Casco bay, are buried all the dogs
owned by him which have died since
1887, says a Boston dispatch to the
New York Times. The governor is O
having made a bronze tablet, giving
the names and record of these animals.
This will rest on the face of a big
granite bowlder, around which the
dogs have been buried.
The dogs were all Of the same fam
ily and strain of irish settlers. The
first and great grandmother was Glen
cora, given TO the governor in lSs1 by
his father, the late James Z. Baxter
of Portland, Me.
The governor has raised about sew
enty-Gve of these dogs, and while ne
has sold a few, most Of those he has
not kept have been given to friends.

Britich Museum Overcrowded.

The British museum, says a London
writer in the New York Post, has
reached the end Of its rope, SO far as
space is concerned. BY the law Of
1890 every English author, whether
dOlniciled al home or in the dominiOns.
Is obliged 10 place two copies Of his
books with the museum, which in turn
guarantees To keep them in good con
dition and make them accessible 10 the
reading public. The same applies to
newspapers. Space for the latter Vas
exhausted some time ago and "a spe-
cial barracks was built 10 store them.
1t Is now feared that the same plan
will have to be adopted for the books.

Seeinu Without Eyes.

That tie blind can perceive light
and darkness is asserted by DR.. A.
C~antonnet in Medicine (Paris). Doctor
C%antonnet tested eyeless seeing ma
chlnery by bandaging his eyes light
proof and concentrating his attention
for 30 hours on perception or light.
He found that he could then perceive
not merely light and darkness but
also large and shining objects.
Testing many blind persons, he
found the same ability. He attributes
this vision without eyes TO Ranvier's
senSory cells, which have a nerve
sensation with the brain centers.

DO YOU GET THIS:
MOTHER LOVE HERO.
ISM ISN'T HEROISM!

This is the story of IA moth
ei who has been refused the
hero prize by the Carnegie
Hero commission.
Mrs. Norman Girling, of
White Plains, n. Y. arose one
morning with the expectancy
of becoming mother of a fifth
child by night. During the
l orning her youngest, a lad
of two and a half, was play
ing in the back yard. There
was IA sudden cry and all was
still, but that the mother heard
the cry. She rushed out to
an open well and - feet below
could see her tiny boy splash
ing about in the water which
she knew was several feet
deep.
Mrs. Girling did not hest
tate. She climbed down into
that well, gripping the slip
perry stone sides with feet and
hands and then she climbed
out by the same wet, danger
ons path, but somehow with
her baby boy in her arms.
Hurrah!
That night the other baby
was born.
Enthusiastic, people in all
parts of the country wrote her
letters and sent her kilograms
and flowers and other gifts.
Somebody called the attention
Of the Carnegie Hero commits
sion to the case, but that body
has calmly ukased that she is
not entitled to the medal of
hcrOism.
All right. And all we have
20 say is that Mrs, Girling has
better than the Carnegie COM
can possibly award
che has her two babies.
And ANYWAY, If all the hero
in this country were
given medals, the Carnegie
fellows could never keep up.
There would be millions every
year and the commission would
soon go bust.

FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE FARMER

The emergency tariff on
wheat which n slow congress
passed "for the benefit Of the
farmer" has now shown where
the benefit went. Simply and
oxactly. it went to the grain
specnlator in Chicago.
When the great slump came
in wheat last year. thousands
of farmers decided 10 hold
their wheat for a higher price.
On Jan. | wheat was $1.49 n
hushel. On March I. the price
was $1.47. on April 1, $1.33,
and on Nav I. $1.1O.
Around Nav I. the farmer
found il absolutely necessary
70 get rid Of his wheat stocks
I'm order to prepare for the
bumper crop forecastcd for
this year and in order to clear
his bins. Millions of bushels
went to the market mt that
time ut around $1.1O, the bot
tom price.
When this had happened. in
the fourth week of Nav, the
tariff. "for the benefit of the
farmer" was passed. that ia.
sitter most Of the wheat had
gone to market.
Then what happened. my
brothersf
Whv. towards the end OF
Nav the price of wheat scared
70 $1.65 and the IS cents ncr
Mushel difference went mostly
into the hands Of the grain
spectators. A very handsome
