He conduct- ed his negotiations by nods and shakes of the head and by writ ing on his pocket slate. He ex- amined the clocks carefully and finally selected one. Asked later if the clock was for his own use he replied that it was and then explained, on his slate, of course, how he uses It. He has a shelf above the head of his bed which is heid in place by a trigger. On top of the shelf he puts a pillow, so that when the shelf, which is hinged, drops, the pillow falls on his head. A string attached to the trig- ger is tied to the winding key of the alarm, so that when it sounds the string is wound up and the trigger is sprung. In order to avoid disturbing the others iu the house the considerate deaf tnute removes the bell from the clock.—New York Sun.

On the frozen ice fields about the South pole live the penguins, ¢alled by explorers “human birds” because they play just as children play, are friendly to their strange humup vis- itors, and live in colonies. Penguins are quite tall, a full-grown i Their | bird standing two feet high. wings are so short they cannot fly, but they use them as flappers to help them hurry along over the snow. Their | strong legs are far back on the body and are so placed that the bird stands upright. The penguins are as much at home in the water as on the land. One remarkable habit of the pen- | guins is the way they “talk” to one another. A dozen birds will meet on one of the beaches, and gathering | in groups of two or three, spend 15 or 20 minutes in animated conver- sation—uttering cries distinctly dif- ferent in tone. Penguins are fond of games, a fav- ' orite play being to force one another into the water. They dive deep and swim under water, sometimes coming to the surface more than 50 feet from shore. Another sport of the penguins is a snow slide. They pick out a nice hilly spot near the shore of an icy bay, and then pack the snow very hard by throwing themselves on it. Then they go to the top of the slide and one gdes down to test it. If it is all right the others follow. How Speech Is Made Visible. A wonderful new invention called the lioretgraph enables one to make ac- curate tracings upon parchment rec- ords of the actual vibrations of-sound in articulate speech. The instrument is worked by motor power. When a vowel sound is uttered the room becomes full of vibrations, and | each different sound gives vibrations of a different shape. In the presence of the lioretgraph a person saying “Ab” would record upon paper a wobbly, symmetrical line. The princl- ple involved is similar to that of the phonograph, but by means of delicate mechanism, the effects of speech are enlurged an enormous number of times. It is believed that with the new in- vention, alded by mathematical formu- las already in use, it will be possible ultimately to read and translate any foreign or unknown tongue of which these lines are the record—Ex- change, Why Called “Blue Laws.” “Blue laws” are, in general, any laws which impose vexatious restric- tions on the members of a community and interfere with their ordinary habits or which seek to regulate their private morals. The name came to be applied specifically to a set of laws of this na- ture supposed to have been in force in the colony of New Haven, Conn., about the middle of the Bighteenth century. The supposition is based upon the well- known fact that in the Puritan days the personal conduct of citizens was often subject to a close judicial supet- vision and that the sin of Sabbath breaking was especially odious to the | magistracy. How Matches Cause Poisoning. Cases of poisoning from safety | matches seems to be common in Den- mark. Dr. C. Rasch reports to the Ugeswrift for Laeger (Copenhagen) on 13 recent cases in his own practice. | The trouble took the form of a severe inflammation of the skin on fingers, | ‘ neck and face, with badly swollen eye- | lids. In men it appears below the pocket in which the matches are car- ried; in. women on the fingers with which they light their cigarettes. Dr. Rasch ascribes it to the use of phos- phorus sesquisulphide | phorus phosphorus was not to be had. —Detroit Free Press.

Collecting old copper is a most | fascinating pursuit, for some of these | old pieces are so beautifully ham- | mered and fashioned into symmetry | }of shape and design that you can- not help but feel that the coppersmith who made them was an artist who enjoyed his work and gave to it the best of his talent and skill. The beauty of old copper is its |color. These rare old pieces when burnished have a richness of fiery glow like a flaming winter sunset. | There is also something about them | that suggests the splendor of the | gilded domes and minarets of ori- | ental mosques. In the home a few | choice pieces well placed brighten up a room, giving life and brillian- cy to all its decorations ; besides this, around these old copper pieces is in- | terwoven the history, religion, and | romance of the old world countries | from which they come. | The copper pieces brought here by | the Jewish families of Macedonia {and Syria show the finest art and | the greatest richness of color of all | the copper which one may collect in America.—M.

Comparisons made by Dr. Furey show that the superior purity and splendor of floral colors in the Alps are not imaginary, or a mere effect of contrast. The reds, blues and yellows of the mountain blossoms are much more intense than those of the same species of | flowers grown at ordinary levels. The leaves, also, have a deeper and rich- | \er green, and microscopic examina- tion shows that chlorophyl is more abundant in Alpine plants than in | those of the plains. One fact which seems quite nat- ural, yet is very interesting, is not on the mountains plants have rel- atively smaller areial organs and larger subterranean ones. Thus a graceful flower which in the plains is seen nodding at the summit of | an aspiring stem, ‘will be found high on the mountain slopes hug- | ging the soil, anchored by compar- atively heavy roots, and beaming up with accentuated beauty from the ground—New York Herald. | HUNTING OIL IN AIRPLANE Locating oil by airplane appears among the latest aerial novelties. In this case we have reference to a British oil concern that is using two flying boats to survey the delta of the Orinoco river in Venezuela. It ap- | pears that oil-bearing lands in this | part of the world are distinguished | by the partial destruction of the | vegetation, and it is believed that an aerial photographic survey of the region will afford a rapid method of | both locating oil fields and of dis- covering the most suitable forest | DO IT NOW!
