A palm which grows in South
America has a leaf measuring fifty
feet long and twelve feet broad—the
largest in the world.
The diamond, so long the hardest
known substance, now has two ri
vals, the silicide and the boride of
titanium—products of He nri Mois
san’s electric furnace—being claimed
to be as hard.
Dr. Adolph Cluss, professor of agri¬
cultural chemistry and technology
in the Imperial Agricultural High
school of Vienna, Germany, is visit¬
ing the colleges of agriculture and
experiment stations of the United
States. |
Bird whistles are a curious Peking
product. Bamboo whistles of two
to five tubes and gourd whistles of
two to thirteen apertures are wired
to the tails of the pigeons, and emit
a peculiar and pleasing aerial music
as the birds fly through the air.
A method of bluing small steel
goods by dipping is to melt saltpeter
in an iron pot, then immerse the
previously polished and cleaned arti¬
cles until sufficiently blued. The
goods should then be removed and
cooled in petroleum and afterward
dried out in sawdust.
In the erection of a railroad brjpge
ever the Susquehanna River at Havre
de Grace the American Bridge com¬
pany will make use of what is prob¬ j
ably the largest wood block ever
made. It has been made especially
for the work, and weighs 1,350
pounds, measures 30 inches across
the shell and is rated at 60 tons ca¬
pacity. The shackle is a solid forg¬
ing three and a half inches thick.
A project is being considered for
the transference of the Jardin des
Plantes to a site three miles outside
Paris, where it is intended to create
a zoological oasis in which the ani¬
mals can have comparative liberty.
Large inclosures containing trees,
lakes and water courses are to be
constructed. One feature of the oasis
would be a large hothouse, in which
all kinds of butterflies* would be
reared.
Ocean observations, connected to
the continents, have been suggested
as a need in forecasting European
weather, but a more economical plan
is proposed by M. Bigourdan, a
French meteorologist, who would
have regular weather reports fur¬
nished by steamships equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus. How
essential are the observations at sea
is seen from the fact that weather
changes are generally associated with
the passage of atmospheric depres¬
sions from the westward in the Atlan¬
tic north of 35 degrees North latitude.
About half of these depressions seem
to come from North America, and the
others form in the open ocean. Wire¬
less weather reports are already
made by British naval vessels.
Back in the Union.
At a Washington meeting of a
Rough Rider organization, one of the
members told the following story of a
fiery old Southerner, whose son, at
outbreak of the war with Spain, was
desirous of joining Col. Roosevelt’s
regiment.
The old gentleman had been wont
to declare that he “went out of the
Union” when his state did; and dur¬
ing the period between the close of
the one war and the beginning of the
other he was an apparently hopeless
“unreconstructed.”
To the surprise, therefore, of all
who knew him, the old man offered no
objection when his son, a stalwart lad,
went with the Rough Riders to Cuba.
Not long afterward, the volunteer re¬
marked to a fellow soldier:
“The oid man is back in the Union
at. last.”
“Does he say so?” asked the other,
with a glance at the letter the boy
held.
“It amounts to the same thing,” was
the answer. “He now writes ‘United j
States’ without quotation marks.’’— j
Philadelphia Ledger.
’Bus Mystery.
Shop walkers and ’bus conductors, it j
seems to me, disappear immediately j
they reach middle age. Old ’bus driv- |
ers you may see on every other ’bus |
that goes by, but a whiskered conduc- :
tor is so great an incongruity that one j
almost starts to behold him. Where
do they go to, these men who vanish J
from their accustomed places with
middle age?—Strand Magazine.
The Only Way.
“I hate to marry him for his money.' j
“Then why do it, gyurl?”

A HUMOROUS PATIENT.
Surgery has much to gain from
spinal cocainizatlon, says Robert
Jones, a Liverpool surgeon, in the
Medical Press. He advocates this
process in cases where patients can
not or will not take other anaesthetics.
The resulting insensibility to pain
lasts more than an hour, but the pa¬
tient often develops abnormal loquac
lty.
Mr. Jones tells of an operation In
which he cocainized the spine. It was
that of a big man, who as soon as he
had taken two or three whiffs ot
chloroform jumped off the operating
table and scampered away. This hap
pened tw^ce, and Mr. Jones tried co
cainization, injecting cocaine into the
eerebro-spinal fiuid. 'By this means f
troublesome operation of cutting ou!
hones in the leg was safely carrier
out. The man, an old poacher, mean
time regaled the doctors with stone
of his art, only once interrupting
when the surgeon was chiseling £
hone, to ask, "What is that knock
ing?”—London Mail.
An Interesting Parrot.
A remarkable parrot was killed at
Lytham on Saturday. The owner,
an Ansdell gentleman, had had the
bird for twelve years, and it accom¬
panied him on his walks into the
country. It would fly home, a dis
tance of two miles, and visit flocks
of tame birds, but it always returned
home for its food. On Saturday it
flew into some trees at Ballam and’
a man, thinking it was a pigeon af¬
ter his peas, brought it down with
his gun.—London News.
