'rrhe Death Wave"

That the ninth wave of the ocean Is
more powerful and overwhelming
than the preceding eight, is a super.
stition which existed in 0vid's time
(before the birth Of Jesus Christi.
Today the fishermen of England speak
OF this wave as the death wave"
Others claim that the tenth wave Is
most to be feared. In Scotland they
believed a distempered COW could be
cured by being washed In nine surfs,
while the fishermen Of Iceland say
that there are three great waves which
follow in succession, in which II 10

creduloehemistry.

OF all the Scientific" titbits dished
up by our newspaper chefs, non en-.
joys more perennial popularity than
the discovery of the "lost art" of hard
ening copper. Only fately our fore
most journals were devoting columns
to the World war veteran who, finding
in an ashcan some leaves of an old en-
cyclopedia dealing with an ancient
metallurgist and his success in hard
ening copper, fell to experiment. lg on
his own account, with the result that
his process was bought by Judge Gary
for $1,000,000 In cash plus 2 cents per
pound royalty. A modest and retiring
denial subsequently appeared. For
such newspaper crookery Chemical and
Metallurgieal Engineering suggests the
apt nan of credulochemistry, while
the Engineering and Mining Journal
intimates that the press might vary its
menu by creating unbreakable glass
for milk bottles and petrlied wood for
construction purposes. Certainly these
would prove no less digestible than
copper-eyen hardened copper.-Scien-

Had Good Reason for Smile.

John Il. Milllgan, chief clerk OF the
public utilities commission, breezed
into his office Monday in high spirits.
A broad smile adorned his face and
he went about his work with the alac-
rlty Of a mar who has just inherited a
fortune.
His fellow-workers began to confer
with one another as to the prob
able Of the chief clerks ju-
bilation.
'Th bet he just got a ton of COAL"
suggested one young statistician.
Maybe he struck a gold mine out
in his Maryland farm another said.

out. Milligan had become the papa

The Rural Appeal.

To be out of doors is the normal
condition of the natural man. At
some period of our ancestral life, so
dim in our thought but 81 po-
tential in our temper, disposition
and physique, we have all lived, so to
speak, in the open air; and although
city-born and city-bred we turn to the
country with an instructive feeling
that we belong there. There are a
few cockneys to whom the sound Of
Bow Bells is sweeter than the note OF
the bluebird, the resonant clarion OF
chanticleer or the far-off bleating OF
sheep; but to the immense majority
of men these noises are like sounds
that were familiar in childhood. J
have sometimes thought that the deep.
est charm Of the country lies in the
fact that it was the home and play.

and, however long some of us have
been departed from it, it stirs within
us rare memories and associations

are older than any human speech

and noise and dust Of the city In mid

HELPED OUT MOTHER NATURE
Venetian Women Went to Some
Pains to Acquire Hair Of Tint
Greatly Admired.

Some ungallant bookworm has dug
IN a scandal that Sappho was bald.
There are not wanting grounds for
the suspicion that Queen Elizabeth's
red wig concealed a nude scalp.
AS for the thrice lovely Mary Queen
Of Scots, she actually wore a wig when
she wen to have her head cut off,
and she left a susplciously large col.
lection of wigs behind her.
The lovely and naughty Queen Mar
got, wife of Henry ", kept a train
Of pages with yellow hair for the re
Punishment Of her wigs.
How much trouble the Venetian
women took to acquire the reddish
hirsute tint that is admired In the
pictures of Titan may be judged from
this account written by an Italian
chronicler in 1889:
"The houses of Venice are common
ly crowned with little constructions
in wood, resembling q turret without
a roof. AT the base these lodges oil
boxes are formed of masonry and GOV.
cred with a cement of sand and lime
to protect them from the rain. 1t is
in these that the Venetian women may
be seen al often as, and indeed often
er than, in their chambers; it is there
that, with their heads exposed to the
full ardor of the sun, during whole
days they strain every nerve to aug
ment their charms.
SEATED there, they keep on wetting
their hair with a sponge dipped in
some elixir of youth. They wear on
their heads a straw hat without a
crown so that the hair, drawn through
the opening, may be spread upon the
borders; this hat doing double duty as
q drying line for the hair and a para
sol to protect the head and face"
And consider the Roman matrons
who used to blondine their ~"crowning
glory" with a mess of decomDosed
