I The German Empress has been beard to say that the happiest periods of her life were the few weeks following the birth of each of her children, when she 1 was able to retire from public duty and enjoy her new treasure. ' I It happened when the youngest son of the German royal family was an in fant that one of the ladles of the house hold, upon going into the nudsery hast ily, discovered the empress kneeling be side her baby's cradle. Her majesty rose hurriedly, and came forward vwlth her eyes . full of tears. "No, she said, smiling unsteadily into the anxious face of. the lady in waiting, "nothing is the matter.

Everv vear in the Ruinal country, in India, a marriage 'lottery Is held, gen erally in October. The names of all the marriageable girls and of the young men who are tired of bachelor life are written on slips of paper and thrown into separate earth pots. One of each kind is drawn at one time by !a local wise man. The youth whose name is drawn out obtains a letter of i introduction to the young woman whose Iname accompanies his, and then all that remains for him to do is to start courtship, with all the ardor of which he is capable. Such fortuitous court ships might not appear at first sight to promise very well for future connubial happiness; but, nevertheless, in the majority of cases, everything turns out very satisfactory.

Oregon SpoKanc, Wash. jm CLLL An appropriation of ,30,000 bas been made by tbe Italian government for the establishing of six wireless telegraph stations at Rome, Milan. Turin, Sicily, Sardinia and Massowa. These stations are designed for general use, and an effort la to be made to popularize this system for the transaction of public and private business. In a lecture to the Paris Academy of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Grehant stated that water gas is seven times more poison ous than ordinary lighting gas. In presence of the recent fir damp explo sions at Llevin, In the north of France, and Saarbruck, In Germany, he ad vised that samples of the air la the underground workings be taken both day and night and be analyzed regularly. It was in the latter part of 1903 that Sir John Murray made a series St ex periment to determine the temperature of Loch Ness. Tbe thermometer was Immersed to a depth of 200 feet, and the temperature was recorded on an In strument at a distance of 1,200 feet from the thermometer. The thermome ter was attached to a cable wound on a drum, which was fixed to the deck of a boat which was moored In the loch, and the cable was connected to the shore cable by an elaborate mer cury cup. When an automobile is running at high speed the rubber tires are rapidly warmed, and the heat sometimes be comes very great, with resultant In Jury to the rubber. The cause of this accumulation of heat In the tire is ascribed to the kneading of th- rubber, which generates heat faster than It can be radiated away. For this reason man ufacturers have found It to be an ad vantage to have metal parts in the tread, such as the ends of rivets, in contact with the tire, because the metal, being a good radiator, helps to carry off tbe heat to the outer air. "It Is generally conceded that within a year an electric glow lamp, the tung sten lamp, will be on the market," says Prof. W. S. Franklin, in Science, "and that the output of light per unit of power consumed will be Increased at least threefold above that which Is now obtained by the carbon filament glow lamp." The writer adds that this means that the light-producing capac ity of every electric-lighting station in the world will be at once multiplied by three, with the possibility of greatly reduced prices per unit of light, and and also greatly increased profits. The tungsten lamp, In which a metallic filament takes the place of the ordi nary carbon loop, has received much at tention in technical journals. Dr. James Gale, the well known Brlt- tls scientist, whose death at the age of 73 is announced, was stricken with blindness when he was 17. But this did not prevent him from pursuing the study of science and literature with ar dor and success. He Invented a voltaic battery, which was once the means of bringing him In what is said to be the record fee of $250,000, as the reward for the cure of a millionaire patient Dr. Gale discovered a means of making gunpowder temporarily non-explosive, and gave a demonstration before Queen Victoria. "While I was conducting the experiments," he related, "which in cluded stirring up a quantity of gun powder with a red-hot poker, Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice came Into the orangery. I was much amused at hearing the princess remark to the queen in a very audible whisper, 'I thought you told me Mr. Gale was blind. I am sure, he Isn't He has beautiful eyes.' .'Hush !' said the queen, reprovingly: 'Mr. Gale is blind, but pray remember that he is not deaf.' " A Bond of Sympathy. While the new maid tidied the room the busy woman kept on writing. . . "Do you make that all out of your own bead?" asked Jane. "Yes," said the busy woian. "My," said Jane admiringly, "you must have brains!" t "Brains!" sighed the woman despon dently. "Oh, Jane, I haven't an ounce of brains." For a moment Jane regarded her with Blncere commiseration. "Oh, well," she said presently, "don't mind what I say. I ain't very smart myself." New York Press. Beat Him One Way.

The boy, who had 5one barefooted for the first time this year, awoke the next morning to find that his clay-covered feet were blis tered. Dr. Wlnnett, after examining the clay with which the youngster's feet was coated, declared that all that It needed to obtain a very good quality of antlphloglstlne, or Denver mud, was the addition of glycerin and an anti septic. The doctors and the owners of the land through which the clay banks run at once made plans for a factory. Chicago Record-Herald. For Breaking I'p the Soil.
