by the continual attempts to lure them
into nets that they now show fight

during their morning strolls. The

SO seriously that 4 special committee

Color Revived.

If magenta is to be the new fashion
able color, it will be the return TO IA
vOr of the crimson-purple over which
Europe went mad go years ago, OBJ
serves a correspondent. 1t is dated
by it's name, for in 1859 the French
and Piedmontese under Napoleon de-
feated the Austrians among the rice
fields and vineyards of Magenta, near
Milan. A crimsOn-puTple anilinc dye
being discovered about the time, it
was named after the famous victory,
which everybody has now forgotten,
though the color is to be revived.
Magenta was then the very acme Of
beauty. But its glory soon faded, and
Charles Reade, the novelist, wrote of
his villain, "He wore q magenta tie
that gave Zoe a pain in the eye"
while Barrie in Margaret Ogilvy"
epitomized the age of a heroine in
the fact that she wore a magenta
frOck.

MYSTERY or MOUNT EVEREST
Finding by Explorers OF Imprint of
Human Foot on Mountain Given
Various Explanations.

The progress of the Royal Geo
graphical society's expedition to Mount
Everest, under the leadership of Col.
Howard Bury, was watched with keen
interest by scientists, especially at the
Natural History museum, South Ken
singt0n, to which the spoils were to
have been brought for study and clas-
sification on the return of the party.
One statement in q dispatch received
from Colonel Bury excited special
curiosity, and it is hoped that this will
be satisfied by further discoveries in
the course of the expedition.
Even at these heights (more than
10000 feeD," writes Colonel Bury,
there were curious tracks in the
snow. We distinguished hare and fox
tracks; but one mark, like that of Il
human foot, was most puzzling. The
coolies assured me that it was the
track of a wild, hairy man, and that
these men were occasionally to be
found in the widest and most mae
ceSsible mountains"
Naturalists here are by no means
prepared 10 scout the idea of q human
race living at such an altitude. The
probability is, however, that the sup
posed wild. hairy man." is in reality
a baboon, known as a Macaque, which
is known to live at great heights on
the Himalayas, and the footprint
would be very similar to the human
foot.

BEN FRANKLIN's STOVE.
Great Invention of 200 Years Ago Only
Incident to Its Creator.

1t is almost 200 years from our present
day heating systems, radiator, gas logs,
electric heater, etc, back to Benjamin
Franklin and his primitive stove. In 1742
be Invented an open stove 'for the better
warming of rooms and at the same time
saving fuel, as the fresh air admitted was
warmed in entering"
Franklin made a present of the model
to a friend who having an iron furnace
found the casting Of the plates for these
stoves a profitable venture. TO further
assist his friend and increase the demand
Franklin published a pamphlet entitled,
An Account of the New Invented Penn
sylvania Fireplaces, etc So great was
the result that he was offered a patent ON
the stove, which he declined because, as
he said,-"As we enjoy great advantages
from the inventions of others, we should
be glad of an opportunity to serve others
by any invention of ours; and this we
should do freely and generously"
The public-spirited decision was i'm
mediately taken advantage of by Lon
don ironmonger, who patented the result,
