NOT THE PHILOSOPHERS IDEA
Small 0irI Gave Peculiar Twist to PrOvsrb That Some of Us
 May Remember.

A Philadelphia school teacher was quoting to her pupils the sayings of various wise men touching the value of silence on certain occasions, when she gave them the proverb to the eff feet that we have one mouth and two ears, in order that we may listen twice as much as we speak.
 day or so after the instruction, the teacher, to see how well the les son had been learned, asked a girl pu- piI the question, as above.
 Little Lulu had forgotten the philOs- opher'S maxim; but the question did not seem a difficult one to answer.
 Because" she said, I've should not have room in our face for two mouths, and we should look too crooked If we had only one ear"
 "No, Lulu," said the teacher, 'that is not the reason. Perhaps Marie can tell us"
 "Yessum," said Marie. tits that way SC we can let what we hear go in at one ear and out at the other w-Phil- adelphia Ledger.

Are the Pleiades Dimmor9

The question presents itself whether three stars of the constellation of the Pleiades have less brilliancy than for merly, or whether prehistoric man had a better sight than ours, or If he was wont to climb up the mountains to ex- anime the nearest stars, or if the at- mOsphere of past ages was purer than ours?
 This problem arises from the fact that we see from below only seven of the stars of the Pleiades and that the last three stars can only be seen by ascending to the highest summits, while there have just been discovered stones dating from prehistoric times upon which the ten stars are engraved.
 This interesting question in astron- Omy and archaeology has been preached to the French Academy of Sciences by NJ. Bigourdan.

c0MET-FINDlNG NOW EASY
Work of Picking Up "HeaVsnIy Vist- tors" Aas Been Reduced to
 Scientific Basis.

Seven comets which have been seen on previous occasions are expecte': to return to the vicinity of the earth this year. If they all keep their ap- pOintmentS, and the average num- Der of new comets turn up, astronomers will have at least a full dozen under observation between now and Decem- Der 31. But there Is reason to fear that some of the seven old comets have met with mishaps while bowling along through space, and that they have either been shattered into un- recognizable debris, or diverted into quite different orbits. There is, how ever, little romance now in comet finding, as was the case when heroic cOmet-hunters swept the skies all night in the hope of dropping on one. Now they set traps for them-cOmbina- tiOn of telescopes and cameras turn ing in unison with the rotation of the earth on it's axis-and go to bed until morning, when they develop the plates and examine them for the tell-tale marks which betray any comets that may have entered the region of the sky thus photographed.

Great Britain Bars Feathsro.

No more feathers can enter Great Britain now that the plumage pro hibitiOn bill is in force. Women who have feathers in their hats are the envy of their friends and osprey feath- CTS, bird of paradise plumes, and all kinds of fans will shortly be worth their weight in fve-pOund notes. Af- rican ostrfches and cider ducks are the only exceptions to the law, as the plumage of both species can be Ob- tained without cruelty while they are mOulting. The new law does not ap- ply to passengers coming into the cOun- try with feathers as part of their per sOnal apparel. Birds of paradise re- gently have been killed at the rate of 5000 a year in full breeding plumage, and as many as 100000 albatrOsses were killed in one raid in the Pacific. Florida has been swept clean of egrets, whole colonies of these birds having been butchered at the breeding season to obtain the feathers some times known as "Ospreys."

Snake cauoIns Reign os Terror.

SHAA& S&S0SUW USbBN VI b@ES0Hs
 A South RhOdesian farmer wrote to the director of the Port Elizabeth museum for advice on the disposal of q great mamba which inhabited a wooded kop1e on his farm. '"The snake" said the farmer, has already accounted for two natives and over 100 other victims in the shape of fowls, goats, calves and dogs. when ever anything ventures within the pre- cincts of the snakes haunts 1t darts from cover, strikes, and rettres into the undergrOWth again like a flash. A glimpse is all that is ever seen of this death dealing reptile" The farmer states that the natives in the vicinity regard the snake with superstitiOus awe, declaring 1t to be the reincarna- tiOn of LObengula, who seeks revenge for past wrongs. LObengula was the king of Matabele Land and was long feared as a powerful warrior and per sistent opponent of Christianity and civilization in his Kingdom. In 1898 he was defeated in a battle in which 500 of his men were killed. He then became a fugitive from his kingdom.

 COsmO Hamilton writes ill the Spur. He poses as an egot;st, be- cause it affords him immense amuse. ment to see how much ire it pro- duces. He knows, of course, that he is a master craftsman who stands alone as a dramatist. He has proved is a very simple and humble man. great Christian, deeply moved by the woes and the sufferings of so many fellow creatures and greatly impa- tient of all the hypocrisy and red tape that stand in the way of the betterment of the world. No man
 living has keener sympathies or a more practical method of charity. He gives most of his money away. And there is certainly no man who is so enthusiastic about other peoples work, OF so very ready to give a help- ing hand to the young men who are knocking at the door. It is re- freShing and delightful sight to see him aC one of his rehearsals, stand ing in the middle of the stage in his bilious clothes and hygienic boots sur rounded by the carefully chosen act Ors and actresses upon whom he tries his latest jokes, kindly and wh1Ien- ing MephistOpheles. It is equally delightful to see him walk forth in the afternoon into the London that he knows and loves so we'll, kid-glOved, dapperly halted, wearing loosely built suit of tweeds, to make his jaunty way out of the purlieus, of the Adelphi into PiccadilIy, talking to himself, laughing aloud and utterly un- conscious of the attention of the pass ers-by. He is really sort of elderly schOOlbOy who makes a hobby of para dOx, whose legs are in the present, but whose head is 20 years in advance of his time.
