Do you recall that Paris case Of
Elsie Van Damme-how the girls

wrapped in paper, without single

Our friend Hamard visited eight
thousand houses, eight Thousand,
mind you, and tested over fifty
thousand door locks, before he got
on the trail. But in the end he
found his man and unraveled that

without relish, as he sat thinking

obscure uptown hotel in which
the agent from the Paris office
had installed himself as a cattle

Wilsnach's mood was as dis

heavy rain was falling. It was
falling without interruption, Ieav-

as desolate as a glacial moraine.
And the cattle-buyer from the
Argentine, quite apart from the

in little beyond a renewed acquain-

Wounds are no longer probed for

NOT ALL GOOD FOR HEATING
Much Variation in soapstones-ciassi-
feation of Properties Would Be
Most Valuable.

Soapstone is a term that has been
loosely applied to several varieties of
rock with differing chemical and phys
ical properties. Some soapstones are
hard, being only slightly different from
serpentine, and others are soft and
contain more tale. Some varieties
have definite grain and others are
composed of interlocking prismatic
crystals.
The difference in properties affects
the suitability of various sOapstones
for different uses. In the construction
Of fabricated forms hardness, tough
ness and absence of grain are most
important, but in the manufacture of
foot warmers, grlddles and heating
stoves for fireless cookers resistance
to heat and retention Of heat are more
important Thus sOapstone from GER
tain localities in Virginia is more valu-
able for fabricating than for heat re-
tention, and certain Vermont soap
stones are superior for heating pur-
poses. An investigation Of the proper
ties Of various soapstones and classifi-
cation by such properties would be
most valuable.-New York Herald.

Mother Of Invention.

Ingenuity was manifested to a
notable degree in Spain and France
at the time of the last solar eclipse.
The windows in Madrid, Paris and
other cities were filled with great
variety of devices for viewing the
passage Of the moon across the suns
disk without danger to the observers
eyes, There were black spectacles,
black glass monoclss, black glasses
set in pasteboard handles of 20 diff
ferent forms, and also devices for
viewing the phenomenon by reflection.
But the people made many contriv-
ances Of their own, such as plnholes
through paper or through the tops OF
derby hats. Some viewed the eclipse
in the streets or on the roofs by re-
lection from pals or pans of water
to reduce the glare, and some saw II
through cambria handkerchiefs or
thin umbrella tops. The bookshops
abounded with paper-bound <reatises

Geese slxty,seven Years Old.

Wild geese are sometimes said to
be centenarians, but there has been
difficulty In proving the statement
Some evidence has been presented,
however, by Henry Stark, for, says
Outdoor Life:
In 1866 an uncle Of Henry Stark
captured two Canada geese in a net
spread along the beach Of the Chicka-
nooga islands in Chesapeake bay.
Since that time this pair of geese have
been padding around farms owned by
members Of the Stark family.
A few years ago the uncle died at
the ripe age of eighty-one. but the
two Canada geese are still thriving
and alert and seemingly in the prime
of their youth. No one knows how
old these geese were when captured
but Mr.. Stark says he has evidence
that they are slxty-seven years old
now and he hopes they will prove the
statement that wild geese live to be
one hundred.
