In winter went to see Hunt and found
him In a large room with a wide, old
fashioned fireplace. He had dragged
his piano on to the hearth, close to a
large fire, leaving only room for hlm
Bclf and his chair, and was playing
with the greatest enjoyment.
"My dear fellow," cred Home, "ar
you aware that you are ruining your
piano forever and ever in that heat?"
"I know, I know," murmured Hunt,
"but it is delicious."

Warning to Poet).
"The late Richard Watson Gilder,"
said a New York poet, "always opposed
the reading of light literature. A poet,
he said, could not read such literature
.without corrupting his literary style.
He once told me that the poet, in this
respect, was like Brown's parrot.
Brown bought a parrot for $20 from a
pet stock dealer, and a week or two
later returned to the shop and insist
ed that the bird be taken back.
"'What's the matter with it?' the
dealer asked.
" 'W-w-why,' said Brown, 'the durned
c-c-critter st-stutcrs.' "

"Now that the novelty of the moving picture has worn off," sold a man
Those business Is to think up new Ideas for the film makers, "It requires a
good deal of ingenuity to show the public something it hasn't seen before.
In the early days of tho business, there were one or two simple tricks that
never failed to fool the average audience. Hut nowadays the old tricks
won't do.
"For instance, one of the first stunts was to take a roll of pictures and
then run it. off backwards on the machine. You would see regiments of
soldiers marching backwards down the street, and disappearing In the dls
tance, or there was that old stand-by, the water sports film,' which, when run
the wrong way, showed men rising feet first from tho water, turning
somersaults and finally landing gracefully on the springboard overhead.
"Another reversible film which kept many people guessing a long time
was one which first showed a mass of clay, and then to take form and shape
itself Into the likeness of George Washington. How was It done? Simply
by taking a wax Imago of the Father of His Country and slowly melting it
while the photographs were being ticked off. Now, when we ran the film
backwards tho melting process was reversed. But as I said, these things
don't go down any longer.
"You'd be surprised to know how resourceful some of the photographers
are to-day. There is a film which has lately been sent out all over the coun
try that marks the climax in the art of motion picture faking. I don't be
lieve one man in a thousand who sees it will have the least idea how it was
done. It represents the flight of the children of Israel, and gives the scene
where Moses waved his wand and the Red Sea parted.
"Tbe man who took that picture spent twelve hours on the Red Sea
section alone. He singled out a spot on the shore of Long Island, where
there was a sandbar which was out of water at low tide, and under water
at high. He started at high tide and took, say, a score of pictures of the
sea as it looked then. After fifteen minutes he reeled off another twenty,
and fifteen minutes later he did the same. Thus at the end of six hours he
had a Aim showing the changes for every quarter of an hour. At the end
of that time the tide had receded so that the sandbar could be seen. Then
he called In the supers and had them walk across the bar while he took their
picture.
"That was only half the work. Later In the day, when the tide began
to rise, he returned and began again to take a few pictures every fifteen
minutes. At the end of six hours the water had risen to where It was when
he began. We had some doubt as to how the film would come out ; we didn't
know whether the tide, when photographed that way, would give the desired
effect of a sea parting, and then closing up again. But it did. I don't know
of any film that looke more lifelike and wonderful. The waves seem to rush
apart for a minute, and then rush back again. Just as described In the
Bible."

Lord Dudley, the Governor-General
of Australia, has headed a movement
for persuading the federal government
to establish in Australia a solar ob
servatory to act in concert with those
now In operation In Engird, India
and America. It is pointed out that
there is a great break in the chain of
these observatories, extending between
California and India, and covering a
distance of 150 degrees of longitude.
The proposed observatory in Australia
would serve to fill this gap. Moreover,
It would possess special value from
being located in the southern hemi-
sphere. With its aid a continuous Be-
continuous ee-
ries of observations of the sun, ex- t
tending throughout the 24 hours, could
be made.
Among the if ost interesting of Amer
ican birds Is ,the great vulture called
the California condor, which rivals the
famous condor of the Andes in size,
averaging 4 Mi feet in length and 10
feet in spread of wings. It nests in
wild and Inaccessible places in the
mountains. Its eggs measure 4 Mi by
2Mi inches, and are very rare In col
lections. Prof. Vernon L. Kellogg calls
attention to the fact that this bird car
ries two mallophagan parasites which
are common to it and to the two other
great vultures of the American Cor
dillera, the Andean condor and the
king-vulture, whose cotubined range
extends several thousand miles north
and south. But the parasites are wing
less, whereas the vultures represent
three separate genera, of which the
Individual's are particularly non-gregarious.
How, then, have they come into
the possession of identical parasites?
Professor Kellogg believes that the ex
planation must be that the parasites
infested an extinct common ancestor of
the three related types of birds, and
have persisted, practically unchanged,
on its now divergent descendants.
Invention during tho next two or
three centuries, says Prof. John G.
McKindrick, will probably be in me
direction of imitating the wonderful
economy, and the simple, direct meth
ods of nature. Tako the electric cel.
Its electric organ is in no sense n
storage-battery, but a contrivance by
which electric energy is liberated at
the moment when it is required. At
rest, the organ shows so small an elec
tromotive force that a good galvano
meter is required to detect it, but a
sudden nervous Impulse from the eel's
spinal cord raises a potential of many
volts, with very 1 1 tie heat, and so
small an expenditure of matter as to
defy the most expert chemist to weigh
It. Fireflies, glowworms and many
deep-sea fishes produce light without
heat, "at a cost which would make the
price of wax vesta an extravagant out
lay." The organic chemist requires all
the resources of his laboratory, with
high temperatures and potent agencies,
to produce alkaloldal substances which
plants make at a low temperature and

INCREASED COST OF FURS.
BUtua Advance Iletwcrn BOO and OOti
Per Cent In a Few Yeara.
No fur has risen In value like the
lynx In thelaiit few years. Four years
ago the dealers could buy any amount
oi skins for 6 apiece, writes the Cana
dian correspondent of Fur News. Now
a latge skin will fetch the trapper $30
to $33.
The fact that fewer lynx have been
taken this winter than last does not
go to prove that they are decreasing
In numbers. The lynx Is an animal
that Is continually traveling and be
goes In a huge circle, covering thou-
PICTURE
sands of miles, so that years in which
they are plentiful in Manitoba and the
western provinces there is likely to be
a decrease in the eastern provinces.
The mink does not appear to be
quite so numerous as formerly. This
can readily be explained by the large
price paid the trapper for skins. Ten
year3 ago a skin that would fetch $1
now can readily be sold for $6.
In Manitoba and the western prov
inces the season is closed for beaver
and otter owing to the scarcity of these
animals. However, these two magnifi
cent fur-bearing animals are, becoming
more plentiful. On many parts of tho
Asslnlboine, where the beavers have
not been seen for a period of twelve
years, they are now visiting the old
haunts and building new dams. On
the Sourls river the beaver has be
come so plentiful that farmers have
complained of the damage done to
small trees, particularly poplar.
The weasel Is another animal that
the fur men yearly export in thou
sands. The weasel is easily taken by
the trapper, as he is a very inquisitive
animal and is always on the move.
One fur dealer of this city has already
chipped 60,000 weasel skins to the Eng
lish market.

FALSE TEETH TBAQEDY.
I'hi-i- Mul in Throat of Kna-llabMian
mi J Tlirolllecl lllm.
Numerous people, we believe, have
swallowed thrlr false teeth, and a few
ptrhaps been throttled by them. But
the latter occurrence is so rare as to
deserve passing ntoleo. At Hlghbridgo,
In England! a man was found dead In
tho highway, presenting all the marks
or asphyxia. Ills body lay near the
top of a hill. The autopsy disclosed
a plate of false teeth wedged tightly In
his throat across the opening Into the
lungs. They so completely blocked
the passage that no air whatever could
pass, and appeared to have been held
In place by the suction of tho lungs.
A medical witness offered tho expla
nation that the man was walking up
tho hill, breathing heavily. In some
way the plate was loosened and drawn
forcibly Into tho throat by a "deep
breath." It happened to fall In such
a position ns immediately to become
tightly wedged, so that the victim was
entirely unable to dislodge it. No one
being about it probably would not
have made any difference If there had
been, because he could not call out or
even explain what had happened ho
was choked f death Just as effectually
as If he had bwn garroted or drowned.
If such accidents were common it
might be desirable to wear false teeth

In Search of
According to the family nible, Julia
Walslngham was 34, but she pleaded
guilty to 26 with such ingenuous frank
ness that everybody believed her. She
had been engaged many times, but
never for longer than three months at
a stretch, although she had been In
troduced to each man's family as the
only girl a reasonably sensible per
son could marry.
The rolling stone nature of Julia's
affections at last caused her to be
classed as fickle, and friendly atten
tions from young men suddenly ceased.
She took serious counsel with herself
as to the quickest method of acquiring
a husband. There was no time to wait
for a man to come to woo her, so she
diessed herself In a dainty costume
and went forth to battle.
By a fortunate accident she ran right
Into the arms of Jack Homebird, a
cynical married man whom she had
flouted long ago, when he thought her
too beautiful for this sordid earth.
He was sorry for Julia now, and so
grateful for his own escape that he
undertook to help her to stalk a hus
band, although his conscience told htm
It was a cruel conspiracy against his
fellow man.
Julia cheerfully confessed that, as
HE LIKED
irhe would soon be 27 (that is to say,
(35), it was really time' for her to
sober down and be of some use to the
world. The idea of including posterity
in the purview of her altruistic inten
tions seemed to invest the pursuit of
man with a lofty spiritual purpose.
Jack Homebird cordially approved,
and they proceeded to plan the am
buscade. It was rather a protracted
business, as they differed widely on
the important question of tactics.
"I cannot for the life of mo see
why you object to dances and musical
evenings," said Julia, with a pout.
"My dear girl, the men you catch
that way are only fit to bo let loose
again out of pity."
"I never thought of that."
"Few girls do, Julia."
"Do tell me what you mean in a
way I can understand."
"Well, all things considered, and es
pecially having regard to your erratic
past, I strongly recommend the role
of the ingenue for you."
"Whyr
"Because It deceives the most ex
perienced bachelor, and gives a neo
phyte In love no chance at all."
"I don't quite like that, but tell me
what I have to do without any more
flippancies."
"Listen. ABk the predestined person
to lend you a book or something and
tell him to bring It In the afternoon.
When he comes, receive him In a pret
ty apron, and have your hands all over
flour. Say you the sure he Is laugh
ing at you, but you take a delight In
domestic duties and were making
cakes for tea. Tell him you would ask
him to stay, but, unfortunately, every
thing Is homemade, as you were not
expecting anybody. If you had known
he was coming things would have been
very different. He will think you naive
and natural, and when a man makes
that mistake his days of single 'bless
edness are drawing to a clone."
"That sounds rather deceitful,
doesn't It?"
"Oh, heaven excuses such things In
a woman."
"I shall malce as good a wife as
most women, I am sure."
"I should hopo bo."
"Don't be so horribly smart."
"Now, Julia, where are wo going to
find the fatted I mean the victim?"
"I know the man I want already."
"Thanks. You have removed a ton
of remorse from my mind."
"He Is an author Mr. Laurelle.
"A man like that can be lured Into

believe that you are the woman he
has been waiting for all tlyse weary
ears.
"I want him to feel that," said Julia.
"No doubt; but when he Is en
grossed in his work you will have to
show him your marriage-lines to re
mind htm that you are his wife."
"He's a bit fond of me, but bates
flirts."
"If you can avoid that virtuous form
of Indiscretion he will be as plastic as
clay in your accomplished hands."
Julia set about the siege of the au
thor on the lines laid down by Jack
Homebird.
Mr. Laurelle was, among other
things, a poet, and sought inspiration
in a public park In the evening. He
was madly fond of flowers, and, like
many men similarly sensitive to their
beauty, he could not grow them at
home, for you could not swing a cat
in his garden at least, not with any
degree of comfort to the cat.
Julia met. him quite accidentally, of
course, and asked him about his work.
He gave her a voluble biography of
all he had written since a child. She
told him she had nothing to , read
worth reading, and he Immediately

pressed her to accept a copy of his
poetic drama, "The Startled Gazelle."
He walked home with her, and glad
ly promised to come to tea some even
ing. He went to Julia's to tea, and she
behaved so sensibly and charmingly
that he metaphorically smoto himself
for not having seen long ago that life
was a howling wilderness without a
wife.
She sang to him, and be liked her
songs because they were not too
saccharine in sentiment.
It was a glorious evening for both,
and she invited him to come whenever
he chose, and guide her choice of
books.
Mr. Laurelle's conception of love was
august, and glittered with Arthurian
rectitude. He professed a knightly
chivalry, and offered a devotion of
such ardor that no caprice of Julia
could chill it. The fanfare of adula
tion wound up with an impromptu ode
to her eyes, which so correctly cata
logued the glories of those orbs that it
might have been written by an outcast
with a gift for rhyme.
When this avalanche of sentiment
foil on Julia she gasped with amaze
ment, and Boon got hopelessly out of
her depth In the welter of unfamiliar
words In which he expressed his ado
ration.
Julia wisely refrained from answer
ing it, and he called in some trepida
tion a few days later. He had never
been so wildly In love before and fear
ed that he might have overdone It.
She, however, put him at hla ease on
that point, and he became a frequent
guest at her house.
Now, Julia generally managed mat
ters so that he should avoid meeting
other friends until he could be intro
duced as her future husband, for then
his Sir Galahad style of gallantry
would be excused. One evening, how
ever, an old lover called; he was a
bank clerk with a divine mustache. He
was alBO deeply in debt. Julia was
in a radiant humor and simply could
not resist tho temptation to flirt. Sho
cooed and languished and rather neg
lected Mr. Laurelle, who was puzzled
at first and Anally took refuge lu deep
thought. He made no allowances for
the civilities dun to a fellow guest.
He did not understand the persiflage
of his companions and felt that he
was being made to look foolish.
Julia was not an alert observer and
saw nothing of the turmoil that was
tearing Mr. Laurelle's delicate nerves
to shreds. He fanclej that the other
man saw his discomfiture and was en-

and tho author made no sign. Then
she wrote him a cajoling little note
saying how dreadfully she missed his
visits; but he was a master of the
epistolary rapier and replied with a
caustic courtesy that caused her poig

A year later she heard that,he was
married, and then someone sent her a
small sheet of notepaper bearing the
typewritten legend: "A bird In the

PLANS NEW INSURANCE.
Terwllllaer Promises a MrelltaooJ
Whatever the Coat of I.fvlnar.
When a man and a fat man at thai
walked up to Officer Harry Smith,
who stood dutifully by the telephone
booth at the Brooklyn bridge all yes
terday afternoon, and remarked that
he was no longer annoyed by the cost
of living, Officer Smith refrained from
calling the psychopathic wagon long
enough to hear the fat man say:
"It's a new kind of life insurance
company."
Calling to mind the fact that Inves
tigating Insurance companies is a first
rung on the ladder of fame. Officer
Smith began to probe. As a result ol
his questions a Sun reporter traveled
to Yaphank, L. I., and Interviewed
Terwilllger, the Inventor.
Terwllllger, best known as the man
who Invented the chicken-picking ma
chine, was found in his laboratory in
the woodshed of his home, the New
York. Sun says. A dozen stovepipes
rent the air, the sound of buzz saws
was continuous, but the Inventor a
fat man himself prevailed ' 'against
them all.
"The high cost of living," said he,
"Is the public, Indeed, I may say, the
private question of the day. I have
solved It I am about to launch and
float a full-rlgged Insurance company
which will carry the cost of living for
you and me and the next fellow.
"This company will not pay pro
mlums at death. It will be a genuino
life-Insurance company and will lit
erally Insure your living.' By paying
$10 a year you can Insure having a
roof over your head; by paying 20 a
year you can secure a policy Insuring
your lodging and sustenance. By pay

choice of marmalade, apple pie or char

a year you obtain parquette floors
throughout and grapefruit for break

The reporter choked with admira
tion at which Terwilllger patted him
on the back, withal kindly.
"That Is about all." exclaimed the
Inventor. "It Is simple, as the achieve

Tha Inherllaiic Tax.
An inheritance tax is an assessment
laid upon the male heirs of property,
either by distribution or descent. Some
times this assessment is confined to
collateral heirs, when it is called col
lateral inheritance tax. The raising
of public funds in this way has been
sanctioned by legislation from the be
ginning of Roman law, and in England
and In other countries is a large and
steady source of revenue, although
such taxes have been stigmatized by
certain economists as "death duties."
During the Civil War taxes of this
kind were made part of the internal
revenue system of the United States,
but abolished soon after the struggle
ended. The rate and method of as
sessment vary in different countries
and In different States of the Union.
In the United States lineal collateral
and succession inheritance taxes have
been instituted In several States as
a source of domestic revenue. Inher
itance laws have in the United States
occasioned much discussion and liti
gation, but their Justice and utility
have been testified to by experience
and the decision of the law courts.
The leading economists of the present
and other periods have seen the scien
tific propriety, even necessity, of such
legal provisions, and have noted the
uniformity with which they deal with
all classes of the financial community.

If you are in search of employment
In a Milwaukee drug store you must
be a stamp llcker. The unofficial word
has gone forth among owners of drug
stores that ltckless individuals in
search of work are to be turned down
cold.
That the ability to lick stamps Is
one of the prime requisites of a nifty
drug clerk, is Just becoming known.
Time was when Mllwaukeeans licked
their own stamps, stuck them on their
packages or letters, and that was all
there was to it. No more; the clerk
must lick the stamp that he sells. It
is a part of the bargain. True, it
seems rather hard on the stamp deal,
but facts are facts and cannot be rea
soned around.
Ordinarily the new wrinkle of Btamp
licking is not noticed, but at such,
times as Chrlst.nias and New Year,
when the tongues of the overworked
clerks become weary from overmuch
contact with glue, a wall goes up and
the new order comes under the public's
observation.
However, there nave been drug
clerks within the last few days who
positively refused to lick any more
stamps, says the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin. Their refusal Is made on
the ground that if they should overdo
the operation it would seriously Inter
fere with their speech. Many of the
clerks who refused to lick stamps were
women, though a number of men wen
in the striking ranks.
"It's simply awful," declared one
clerk in discussing the situation. "A
woman comes in here and buys a
bunch of stamps. She has her lettees
In her hands. Sometimes there are 14
or 15. You give her the stamps. Then
she counts them out, a stamp to a let
ter, and politely hands them back to
you with the demand, 'Lick 'em, please
and you have to do it to hold your
Job."
Hint of a drug clerks' union, com
posed of members banded together un
der the sacred promise to never lick
another stamp, has been heard, but un
til the present time the movement is so
small that it has not created Interest
even among the clerks themselves.
Meanwhile the licking demand it
made and stamps are being asslduou
ry licked.
