It Was Quite Appropriate.
A famous divinity professor win?
was visiting In the north of Enpilaud
had been Invited to preside nt the
church ceremony of the baptism of the
last arrived Infant In the already
crowded hours of a local minister,
The guest eve out for congregational
singing a paraphrase much favored on
such occasions.
"Let us," said he, "sing from the
fifth paraphrase, beginning at the sec
ond verse, As spvka In close suc
cession rise.' "
To his consternation the congrego
Ust: steeled.
Afterward, asking the "minister's
man" what had been wrong, that func
tionary replied:
"Ye see. professor, the minister's
n&mo Is Sparks, and yonder Is his
tenth balm!"
Natural Gas.
Tho natural gas of Pennsylvania Is
wlorless. Its presence cannot be do
tectcd by smell. That Is the explana
tion of many of the disastrous explo
sions which occur. The gradual leak
age from a natural gas pipe may fill a
cellor or a room. This leakage may
occur directly from the pipe or the
gas may travel some distance through
a sewer pipe. Then when n light Is
brought Into the cellar or room a ter
rific explosion occurs, often destroying
tho building and sometimes tearing up
tho street In front. Philadelphia

His Little Joke.
A Denver doctor who Insists on Jok
ing onco In a while noticed some scales
of a now pattern I11 a shop window.
Over them was a sign which read:
"Weigh your supplies yourself at
home. Tbo scales will pay for them
selves. I'rico $1."
Tho doctor went Into tho shop, ex
amined tho scales aud decided to try
them. He had one wrapped up and
started away with It.
"Oh, by tho way," said tho shop
keeper, "did you want to pay for that,
cc shall I charge it?"
"Tho sign says they'll pay for them
selves," replied tho doctor. "Now, If
this one doesn't you let mo know and
we'll have It arrested."
And then he went out and Just
laughed and laughed. Denver Times.
Narrow Escapes.
An Edinburgh minister rolled a
thousand feet down the steeps of Ben
Nevis and lived to tell the tale. Ad
miral Sir Novell Salmon was clean
shot through at Lucknow nnd returned
as dead, but came up smiling soon
nfterward. Similar was Lord Wolse
ley's experience In the Crimea: but,
though pretty well riddled with shot
aud shell and deprived of the sight of
an eye, he was able soon after to en
joy a laugh over his own obituary.
Not long ago there was a girl Up on
trial In a London police court who had
twice attempted to commit suicide, but
two trains had passed over her and
left her absolutely unscathed.London
Telegraph.
The Seal's Sense of Smell.
The sense of smell possessed by the
seals Is very strong and will Invariably
wake them out of a sound sleep, oven
if you come upon them ever so quietly
to the windward, and you will alarm
them in this way much more thorough
ly, though you be a half mile distant,
than if you came up carelessly from
the leeward and even walked In among
them, they seeming to feel that you
are not different from one. ot their own
species until they smell you. The chief
attraction In these animals Is their
large, handsome eyes, which Indicate
grent Intelligence. They are a deep
bluish black, with a soft, glistening
appearance, and the pupil, like the
cat's, Is capable of great dilation and
contraction.
Curiosities About Fish Scales.
Tho thin silver- coating of fish
scales derives its luster from- many
minute crystals of lime mixed with
a peculiar substance called "guanln."
This coating of silver crystals Is very
easily rubbed off the scales, and In the
ense of a European species of carp
known ns the "bleak" the crystals are
so numerous that a metallic pigment,
commercially known as "argentine," is
made from them. The large globular
glass beads known as "German" or
"Roman" pearls are coated on the In
side with this substance. In some spe
cies of fish with lusterless scales the
silvery lining Is found on the Inside of
the body. A well known example of
this Is seen In the common smelt.
