Nov«*l Match Scratclicr.
Tho most popular match soratoher
in tho world is part of tho Brooklyn
bridge. On tho groat structure itself
thousunds of matches are lighted
daily, but there is ono particular
spot, which has become noted for tho
number of fuses ignited there. This
spot is on tho eastern surface of a
pillar situated at tho Now York en-
tranoo of tho bridge on the north
side.
Tho structure was opened to tho
public only a short timo before tho
smokers who crossed it every morn-
ing discovered that this particular
pillar was bettor sheltered from tho
varying air currents than any of tho
others. In consequence from 100 to
500 matches are lighted on tho side
of the pillar every day. The con-
stant. friction of these fuses has worn
a hole in tho iron. The depression
is eight inches long, live inches wide
and nearly an inch in dopth.—Now

A Canard*
The origin of “canard” is said by
Darin os teter, page 56, to ho ns fol¬
lows: In the seventeenth century it
was usual to say, “Vondre a quel-
qn’un tm canard a moitio”—i. c., to
sell a person half a duck, meaning it
to pass for a whole duck; hence a
Canard took the sense of a lie. Lit-
tro says that canard coinos from the
old expression, “Yendro un canard
a moitio” (to half sell a duck), in
which a moitie was subsequently
suppressed. It is clear that to sell
half a duck is not to sell it at all;
hence the sense to take in, make a
fool of. —Notes and Queries.
Why He Was Cool.

The F»yonm Portrait*.
The likenesses of the dead found
iu tho Greco-Roman cemetery of
tho Fayoum must not bo regarded
as good specimens of the art of the
time. They wore no doubt executed
hastily by very inferior practition-
ers, but they show the prevailing
fashion for all that,
It is very carious to see how noar-
ly they resemble the fashionable
taste of a very different period—that
of the early Victorian era; they
havo so ninny of the characteristics
of that interesting though extrome-
ly debased form of art. The eyes
are too big, tbo nosos too long, the
nostrils too narrow, the mouth too
small, tho face too oval, the neck too
thin, the shoulders too sloping,
They seem strangely familiar when
one tliiiiks of tho fashionable por-
traiture of some 40 or 50 yoars ago.
And then, no doubt, this type bo-
came gradually less anil loss human
until it dovelopod into tho Byzantine
formalism, such as we see in the
oolobratotl mosaic at Ravenna, repre¬
senting Justinian and Theodora—a
work of the sixth century. After
this wo lose our art for a timo, for

Frogs ns Wrutlicr Prophets.
Frogs have from remote times
been regarded as weather prophets,
and at the present day in some parts
of Germany tbe European tree frog
(Hyla arborea) is used as a barome¬
ter. A few of them are placed in a
tall bottle provided with miniature
ladders, the steps of which they as¬
cend during fine weather, seeking
the bottom again on the approach of
rain.
Anatomical structures of a variety
of kinds are characteristic of differ¬
ent species of frogs, having to do
with the voice organs. So it is that
many cro.fk, some chirp and somo
almost bolluw. Many omit noises
most disagreeable to all ears, while
others give vent to sounds that un-
der some circumstances are quite
enjoyable,--PopularScience Mouth-
