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 North American. 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. -no an nn nn an in nn hh un. E. E.
