One of the most Interesting scientific
discoveries connected with the SLmplon
Tunnel is the existence In the rocks
through which the tunnel was bored of
a surprisingly large amount of radium.
The greatest percentage was found
more than two and a half miles from

of rock containing about one-four-thou-sand-mlllionth
of a gram of radium.
The presence of such a quantity of ra
dium Is thought by some persons to
furulsh an explanation of the extraor
dinary degree of heat encountered In

The . astronomer, P. Stroobant, ex
plained to the French Academy of
Sciences recently the utility of long
pose astronomical photographs In fur
nishing data for calculating the orbits
of comets. Such photographs record
the traces of faint comets when thay
' are too far from the sun to be seen
with telescopes. Thus they greatly ex
tend the distance over which the path
of the comet can be marked out, aud
this Is of extreme Importance lu cal
culating with accuracy the elements of
Its orbit When a new comet has once
become visible, the method pursued by
Stroobant Is to search for its earlier
traces on the photographic negatives of
the observatories.
WHERE THE TOYS COME FEOM.
Am Industry Which Germany Re
gard aa One of Her Greateat.
Any one looking at tho store win
dows woulu know when Christmas and
tho holiday season were approaching.
'Hint which attracts the most attrition
probably in all the displays Is the
wonderful assortment of gifts lu the
shape of toys.
A reared dealer observes that Amer
ica Is getting to be more and more a
toy market each year, and that the
Industry is gaining very rapidly. This
Is undoubtedly true. Indeed, public
approval of the manufacture of toys
was foreseen over 200 years ago when
the first patented toy was invented
abroad.
. It is known that In New England,
and especially In Massachusetts, tin
manufacture of educational and me
chanical toys has Increased consider
ably of late years, but the bulk of the
toys that amuse the children so much
come from Germany and Switzerland.
Germany still counts the manufac
ture of toys as one of her greatest In
dustries. She sends at least three
fourtlis of the toys she manufactures
to other lands, the United Slates pur
chasing the most and Qreat Britain
ranking second. Out of a toy product
valued at over $22,000,000 the United
States purchases nearly $tl,000,u00
worth.
In the Saxon Ore mountains wooden,
In the Tburinglan mountains leather,
and In Nuremberg metal toys are pro
duced, while from several other sec
tions there 1b a contribution of other
ypes,
Germany has forged to the front as
a producer of toys because thousands
of families are engaged In the making
of thorn at home. The little town of
Souneberg produces 43 per cent of all
the toys that come to America. A pop
ulation of 15.000 lu this town and near
by hamlets devotes roost of the year to
the making of toys, principally by band
labor, although there are some fac
tories which have achieved a high rep
utation for their products.
The wages paid all workers la Ger
many are extremely low.- A whole
family constructing toy dolls may not
I receive over $3 a week for their labor
In fact, the percentage of wo:nen work
ers in all callings there has rapidly In
creased of late years, owing to the
enormous number of men required Ip
the army. It Is estimated tlk:re up
more than 7,500,000 German worne
who earn their own living, and thin 1
an Increase of more than 1,000,000 I
the last dozen years. The toymaker
get a .mere pittance for their work, urn
all the working women in the empii-t
labor for very small pay. Wages li
the factories are slightly higher tha
In the home industries.
During the first half of the last cev.
tury Young America's toy supply earn'
from across the water. Germany eve
then supplied the larger part an
Japan also a share. About 1S50, how
ever, several toy shops started In a
small way In the United States, an1
Yankee Ingenuity has since added this
country to the toyuiakers of the world.
America then being a forest country
began the production of wooden toys of
grades which could be turned out by ma
chinery. In the manufacture of thesp
wooden toys the United States had an
advantage, as Europe had but lltt'.e
wood and - worked mostly 4y hand,
while America bad an abundance of
wood and her inventors were always
perfecting machines to do the work.
The principal advantage of the Amer
ican wooden toy manufacturers was In
the wonderful woodworking machinery,
certain patented forms of which even
the Germans have found necessary to
hny In order to keep abreast of Ameri
can rivals. Mechanical toys have also
flourished in the United States. The
field, however, Is wide, and should be
covered better by Americans. Boston

EE WAS SO IMPERTTNENT.
How a Lonsr-Abaent Brother An
noyed Hla Slated by Flirting:.
"He winked at me and annoyed me."
Mrs. Samuel Billings, wife of the
owner of the Sexton Hotel, showed her
Irritation plainly when she Imparted
this Information to her husband a day
or two ago, says the Kansas City Star.
The offender to whom she referred had
registered at the hotel as "M. I. Wil
son, Billings, Mont."
It wns during breakfast that his at
tentions began. He sat at table oppo
site Mrs. Billings and his actions left
no doubt of his desire to flirt.
But when Mrs. Billings told her hus
band of the Incident Mr. Billings was
Inclined to doubt whether Wilson had
Intended to be rude. Besides, Wilson
was a guest.
An hour later Mrs. Billings met Wil
son in a hallway. This time he was
more obtrusive. Not only did he look
at her cunningly, but he actually
smiled, a broad, undaunted, offensive
smile. Mrs. Billings' room was near.
She entered it quickly and slammed
the door hard, believing this might in
dicate to Wilson how unwelcome were
his advances.
But Wilson was persistent, also In
sistent. The following day he tele
phoned Mrs. Billings' room and told
her "a friend" wished to gee her In
the office Immediately.
"Umph!" exclaimed Mrs. Billings
when she-answered the call and con
fronted Wilson.
But WJlson only smiled.
"Say," he said, "just a moment,
ma'am. Aren't you the sister of M. J.
Draper of Hillings, Mont.?"
Mrs. Billings hesitated. The nam,
wns that of a brother she hadn't seen
In nineteen years. Wilson saw his ad
vantage. "Well, he told me to look you up
when I got here," he hastened, to say.
. Mrs. Billings' resentment began to
cool. "Oh," she said.
Then Wilson apologized for having
been' Impertinent, adding: "But I
guess I had a right to smile at you
If I wanted to."
The Ire of Mrs. Billings began to
rise again. "Why?" she asked.
"Because," replied Wilson, "because
I'm Draper I'm your brother, dear."
The Modern Wax,
"Will you have this here woman to
be your lawful wedded wife?"
"That's what I 'lowed I would."
"Will you love, honor and obey her?"
"Ain't you got that switched around,

you reckon the parson knows his busi
ness? Answer the question!"
"Yes, sir," said the bridegroom meek
ly. "I reckon I'll have to." Atlanta
