HARD TO CREDIT THIS STORY
II True, However, It Shows the Re.
narkabIe subtlety Of the Mind Of
the Oriental.

One ingenious If dishonest native Of
India turned his dark skin to excellent
account. One Of the European exam
iners of Calcutta university says Lord
Frederic Hamilton In his book Days
Before Yesterday" told me that there
had been great deal Of trouble about
the examination papers by some
means or other the native students al
ways managed to obtain what we may
term advance" copies of the papers.
My informant had accordingly devised
scheme to stop the leakage Instead
of having the papers printed in the
usual fashion he called In the services
Of single white printer on whom he
could rely. The white printer received
the papers early on the morning of the
day designated for the examination
and duly set them up on hand press
inside the building. He had one as
sistant, coolie who was clad only In
loin cloth and turban; by no possibility
could he conceal any papers about his
person.
In spite of these precautions, how
ever, 1t soon became clear at the ex-
animation that some of the students
had a previous knowledge of the ques-
tions. How had they managed It?
Eventually 1t appeared that the coolie,
taking advantage Of the momentary
absence of the white printer, had
whipped Off his loln cloth, sat down
on the form" and then replaced his
solitary garment. When he was
obliged to strip on going out the
printing ink did not show on his dark
skin; and all that he had to do was to
sit down on large sheet of white
paper for the questions to be printed
off on 1t. Then, with the aid Of mir.
ror, the students could easily read
them. The oriental mind is subtle.

Hia Allmsnt pianhosed.

"Waterw yelled the fervent orator.
aqua aqua - he shouted, lapsing into
Latin, his mother tongue. Aqua
pura The greatest gift Of Nature to
thirsty mani What would the ocean
be without water? Answer me that?
What"
That question had never struck his
audience before. They pondered In
silence.
"Waterw cried the orator again.
what would Niagara falls be without
water?'
Another stupendous question. His
audience stirred restlessly; his argu-
ments were too much for them.
"of what use" screamed the speak.
err, "would our bathtubs be without
clean, beautiful water?'
AS one man the audience turned and
left the hall, perhaps to consider out
side the orators bralny conundrums.
But one ignorant fellow said to an
other:
THAT man has water on the brain ~

which he operates, the government
sets out to suppress him. 1t does
So in the usual way, by bargaining.
Troops are moved, though not too
close, and negotiations are opened
with the bandit leader, He offers to
90 the way of good citizenship in ex-
change for an appointment as gov
ernor of a province. The governor
offers TO make him general. They
compromise on his appointment as
brigade commander with stntion
rich and ripe for the plucking. When
negotiations have been satisfactorily
consummated, the government troops
are brought up. They launch an at
tack upon the bandits. fire into the
air for a few minutes and then with
draw. Official proclamation is made {;
the bandits have been dispersed and
order restored And the former bandit
chieftain finds that squeeze" is far
more profitable than robbery-and
much less hazardous.
Such is the history OF not a few
of the outstanding notables in con-
temporary Chinese public life.

The shapes Of EGGS.

An expert recently entertained the
Geological society OF London with a
mathematical discussion of the differ.
ences In the shape of eggs A few
eggs. like those OF the owl and the
tortoise, are spherical or nearly so; a
few, like the grebe's or the cormor-
ats are eliptlcal, with symmetrical
ends; the great majority, like the
hens are ovoid, or blunter at one end
than Mt the other,
The hens eggs are always laid
blunt end foremost. Eggs which are
the most unSymmetrical are also eggs
of large size relatively to the parent
birds Tile yolks of eggs are spherical,
whatever the form of the entire egg
may be- This is shown to be due to
their being enclosed in a fluid, the
"white," which makes the pressure
everywhere on the surface Of the yolk
practically constant.
