Odd Marine Relic*
An ancient ship was recently dis
covered h the bed of the old River
Lea, in England. The vessel, found
at a depth of seven feet below the
surface, is about fifty feet long and is
constructed of oak throughout, with
the exception of the keel, which is of
elm. The ribs of the boat are secured
to the sides by tree-nails, while the
timbers are secured with crude iron
nails. Tbe floor boards are fastened
together with nails and the calking
is done with felt. Antiquarians think
it belonged to the fleet with which
King Alfred the Great fought the Danes
"
t Use Rhone River Power.
Switzerland presents an object les
son in the practical applications ol
scientific principles. Geneva now de
rives all the electricity it requires foi
public and private lighting and tho
traction of its cars from the impetus
of the Rhone as it rushes out of Lake
Leman, and there is still left an enor
mous amount of power unused. Elec
tric railways and lighting everywhero
are supplied by the innumerable water
falls, while heat and power to an in
calculable extent can be derived from
the same source.
Wasps Storm a Ileehlve.
A story of a curious battle between
bees and wasps comes from Sempering
ham, England. A band of wasps en
tered a beehive in search of honey.
Tho bees not unnaturally defended
their property and tried to turn the
enemy out. They were, however, bad
ly beaten, and the wasps gained pos-:
session. When the beekeeper exam
ined the'hive later on he found that
nearly all his bees had been killed and
that the wasps were enjoying the
fruits of their victory.
Press Bringing Universal Peace.
Max O’Rell, who recently joined the
staff of the Paris Figaro, thinks that
the press now fulfills the duties for
merly monopolized by diplomacy and
urges his companions of the pen to re
frain from writing on any subject with
which they have not at least an ele
mentary acquaintance. If this plan
were followed everywhere he says that
twenty years hence the peace of the
world would be assured.
Crusade Against Fat Policemen.
A crusade is on in Jersey City
against fat policemen. They must get
down to fighting and running weight.
The other day a thoroughly equipped
gymnasium was opened and orders
were issued by the president of the
police board and chief of police to
every policeman to report at the gym
nasium at certain hours for exercise
necessary to reduce them to athletic
proportions.
Asymptote.
Asymptote, from the Greek, meaning
“not coinciding," is a line that con
tinually approaches nearer and nearei
to some curve, but only meets it at
an infinite distance. It is only wit!)
regard to mathematical lines that tli6
proposition is true; and the truth ol
it has to be conceived by an effort ol
pure reason, for it cannot be repre
sented.—Montreal Herald and Star.
Food for Literary People.
An English writer thinks he has
discovered a food particularly adapt
ed to the literary man. He asserts
that apples, raw apples at that, are
the best diet on which to feed genius,
but that they should be eaten as the
children eat them, skins and all, and
in sufficient quantities to be satisfy
ing.—The Commoner.
Total Population anti the Voters.
The total popular vote of the United
States in 1900 was within a small frac
tion of 14,000,000, and the total popu
lation of the country, including ter
ritories which have no vote on the
presidency, was 75,000,000. Practi
cally, therefore, there was one vote
cast for each five and a half inhabi
The Kaiser’s Palaces.
In the twenty-odd palaces of the
German Emperor some 3,500 servants
are employed, about 2,000 of these be
ing women. A huge income is, ot
course, required for keeping up estab
lishments on this scale, and the Em
peror's total expenditure is estimated
at some $25,000 a day.
Waterworks of Two Cities.
New Orleans, a city of nearly 300,000
population, consumes less than 15,000,
000 gallons of water daily. The total
cost of the New Orleans water works
was $4,000,000. St. Louis has spent
$20,000,000 for the same purpose and
has a daily consumption of 60,000,000
gallons.
Water Power I. Mighty.
Gigantic water power developments
are projected in the Alps. There are
now in the French Alps 48 factories
supplied by 250,000 horse power, elec
trically generated. Engineers esti
mate that 3,000,000 horse power is now
running to waste in the Alps.
Rob*. oY Musk-Ox Skins.
The skin of the musk-ox, which is a
denizen of the "Barren Grounds” and
the Arctic region of Canada, has taken
the place of that of the extinct bufs
falo for sleigh robes. It varies in
price from $50 to as low as $5 for a
poor article.

Wire Gauze for Hay Fever.
The newest ideas for mitigating hay
fever—a disease which seems to :laim
more victims every year, in propor
tion to the population is embodied in a
