Queer War Bets. OME extraordinary bets have been made on the Japanese-Russian war. A number of Japanese officers have bet that they wouki be killed in battle. The money was to go to their widows. One officer, on starting for the front, made the following wager: If he were killed within a month his heirs were to receive $500. After that date he was to pay his opponent 10 yen ($5) a day until he had survived 100 days, after which the bet was to cease. He under- took to expose himself to danger only when military conditions demanded it; in other words, he was not wilfully to let himself be killed. In a moment of excitement Lomakin, & Moscow merchant, undertook to “eat his boots” if Japan were not forced to Sue for peace by July 1 last. Against this his opponent bet 500 rubles. Loma- kin ate the boots. But as no time limit was imposed, he cut off and swallowed only a tiny stNp each day, completing the achievement on Nov. 2. His op- ponent absolved him from eating the nails. A captive Japanese officer imprisoned at Omsk, in Siberia, bet the Russian} officer in charge of the prisoners a ko- | peck for every minute that Port Arthur | held out after June L He owed the; Jailer on Oct. 1 nearly $1,00.

When Hens Get Busy T is the season when the modest hen has greatness thrust upon her. Three-fourths of all the eggs laid in the United States are laid between March 1 and July 1 And now the music of the hens fills all the ccuntry with promise of plenty and substantal prosperity, says the Mil- waukee Journal.

The glass will, of course, fill with water, but as it continues to run in, if the pressure be strong enough, mercury bubbles will begin to rise in the glass and float around just as soap bubbles float in the air.
