Professor Thomas Condou, department of geology, University of Oregon, has celebrated his 75th birthday. This emi nent scientist has passed his three score years and ten mile post; and, at an aire when most men retire from life's ac tivities, he remains in the ram s of earnest truth seekers and investigators. He is one of the few on whom age seems not to stanin the marks of decay; to whom advancing years brine not dim ness of mental visiou; who are virile nnd vigorous in proportion to the length of life. Professor Condon is a student of nature, not a pedaut w'ho lives alone among boobs and feeds only on the mental fruit cultivated by others. He Las the ability to read "sermons in stones" see "books in running brooks," and find "good in everything." As a geologist of eminence, a bit of rock tells to him a story nf mighty forces once exerted; a stratum in the earth's for mation speaks eloquently of the ages during which our globe was being formed; a glimpse of Nature's product is a sentence from a language that the Almighty speaks to the one who goes "near to Nature's heart." One who studies Nature cannot crow old. Her voices speak encouragingly ; its hidden secrets entice ever onward to further discovery of her true spirit ; familiarity with her works purifies and strengthens. Mature known and understood renews -the youth and uplifts the mind of men. These are not effusive words of empty compliment, They are sincere tributes to one who deserves them. Professor Condon is honored by the people of Oregon, whom be has lone served as a teacher of the wonderful science of geology; and, where ?er genuine scholar ship is known, tiie name of Thomas Condon gss coupled with merit and true scientific research.

While the finer and thinner veneers of costly woods are sliced tangentially iroru the side of the log, there are woodfc that cannot Ik- cut this way no amount of boiling or steaming render ing it possible to cut them without breaking down the tissue.-? to such an extent as to destroy their surfaces for polishing while others, says Hard--ivood, becoming discolored from steaming or boiling, and being too hard to cut otherwise, have to be .sawed. The fine-toothed, thin-gauge circulnr, with flanged center, is the favorite for cutting nil ordinary veneers thicker than 30 to the inch; 20 to the inch is the thickness moat commonly used for cab inet work and ftniwhing, but much thinner it; used in the case of rare und costly woods, or rare abnormal or acci dental figures, as in the east- of burls. Some woods have to be cut much thick er, being unable to bear handling when too thin; genuine ebony, the only fine really jet-black wood known, and large enough to be of any use, will not stand sawing much below one-fourth of an inch in thickness, owing to the extreme brittleness or want of cohesion, but there are other woods that can be cut as thin as writing paper and still be bandied in lanre sheets. Other woods there are that will lose their fine color on exposure to the atmosphere, espe cially a smoky one; thexe are cut only -when immediately wanted, and are litpt covered until the finishers can put tm a protective coat of some prepara tion. liuclclen'c Annua autve.

Twice a year the elephants and the rhinoceros in the Central park menag erie get a eoatiugo: neatafoot oil. which is thoroughly rubbed in v. ;th th.- palm of the hand. The oiling ai.d Ik r.cnip nlation ojeause the skin, remove the dead skin, and open the pores, freshen the animals tip, and improve their health, and they seem to like the proc ess. The oilintr is done only in the spring and summer; if done in the win ter the animals would be likely to take cold from it. The rhinoceros at the park is in good condition and lively, and rather frisky for so big a brute. Sometimes it steps about with a step that is very much like a dancing step, and likely to surprise one who sees it for the first time and has been accustomed to regard the rhinoc eros as an animal always slow and lum bering in its movements. When the rhinoceros' cage is cleaned out, which is done daily, the keeper first attracts the rrvat creature- to one side with a tempting mess of food. Then he slips a noose cf rope over the animal's horn and settles it down around the neck and makes the other end fast around a bar or wo of the elephant's cage ad joining. This is done to keep the rhi noceros from pitching into the keeper if it should Take a notice. The 'nine precaution is taken when the rbinofpro? is oiled. The elephants, however, kneel at the word of com mand. It :s not necessary to plant a ladder againsrt them in order to reach the upper part of their sides in rubbing in the oil. TAUGHT HER A LESSON. She rrobably Found a Xcir l'lace lor Uldinc the Key. The other day a very estimable lady came to town to do a Vttle shopping, says the Atianta Constitution. Of course the key was put under the door mat so that her son. whom she expected to return before her, could get in. In her absence a tramp, who had been hanging around the place a number of days and had caught on. boldly went into the house, got some of the choicest viands out of the pantry, put them on the table and pitched,' n. He also found a bottle of wine that revived his spirits, j He did not expect anyone there for a j number of hours and so he took it easy. I In the meantime the lady of the house having finished her shopping returned home and, seeing the front door un locked, expected to find her son inside. Imagine her horror when she opened the dining-room door and saw sitting at her table the rustiest-looking tramp that ever vied with his companions in accumulating dirt on bis epidermis. The lady was dumfounded. In the si lence that followed the tramp coolly re marked: "Madam, I shall become scarce, now. ez I've eaten enuff. All I kin cive yer back fer this good meal and wat I want ter say ter yer is that yer ought to find a new hidin' place fer yer key. I won't charce yer nothin' for this advice." With that the tramp de parted. BLIND, BUT TOO GAY. Unfortunate Who Eloped with Another SlRhtliM Man's WKe. The outdoor poor department gives annually a small sum of money to those afflicted v ith blindness, says the New York World. "I've come for my pension, sir," said an applieuut lecently to one of Superin tendent li'ake's assistants. "There's no money here for you," re plied the assistant. "And let me give you a tip, you won't get another dollar from this department." "Oh. my, oh, my; do not say that," pleaded the blind man. "I'm poor; you'll admit that, won't you?" "Yes; I think you are." "And blind, too; isn't that so?" "Yes, you are both poor and blind." "Then hand over the money, please," demanded the man, "because under the law I come under both conditions." But the clerk shook his head in the negative. "You know well enough why you can't get the money," he said, "th re port against you reads that you are not respectable." "Nov 1 know what you are drivintr at," sightd the blind man, "bur what has that to do with It?" "Everything." was the reply. "A man who elopes with another blind man'fi wife is not fit to havr- a pension." And that settled it. I)of)ine of Gibraltar.
