Tofellier Again, ,
One ol thb famous and popular ex
hibits in the British muaH'm is the
uniquu Portland vase. About ten
Inches higb, male of glass of a won
derfully deep bl le, ornamented in re
lief with a aeriiiB of figures of opaque
white glass, It vas found In a warbie
earcophagus under the Monte del
Grano, gome two and a half miles from
Rome ou the way to Frascatl. For a
long time it was the chief ornament
of the great Earberini palace at Rome,
but toward the end of the eighteenth
century it waa bought by Sir William
Hamilton, wfco In turn sold it to the
Duchess cf Portland In 1785, and by the
then Duke of Portland it waa deposited
in the British museum in 1810. The
museum did not then occupy its pres
ent building, and in 184S, while it was
still In Montague house, the vase was
broken by an act of vandalism. A
man named William Lloyd, who was
employed in the museum, gat drunk
one day ia February cf that year, and.
vu& uv a cauyiumau wu,
y on the ground, he hurled it at the
ase, which was placed under a glass
case. There was a crash, and the case
and the vase fell shattered to the
ground. The museum authorities ap
proached the Duke of Portland with a
view to prosecuting the man, but, for
reasons of his own, the duke refused to
appear, and the only thing the museum
could do was to bring the culprit be
fore a magistrate on a charge of wan
tonly breaking the glass case. The
magistrate fined him a couple cf
pounds, and the fine was considerately
paid by an old lady with more sym
pathy than sense, so that the man got
off scot free. The pieces were put to
gether again, and perhaps the romance
which has thus clustered around the
vase may have enhanced Its value. It
is estimated to be worth no less than
10,000, London Strand Magazine.

The measurements of the rivers of
Texas by the hydrographern or tne
United States geological survey have
brought to light the fact that during
1900 there was a marked increase in
all the streams Investigated. This
was found to ba particularly evident In
the streams which rise in the exten
sive Edwards plateau. The Edwards
plateau is a flat tableland in south
central Texas some 2,000 square miles
in area, the extension of the high
plains of western Kansas. From the
sides of this tableland many rivers
flow In deep and picturesque canyons
and are of great economic value for
Irrigation, power and supply. Owing
to the Increased amount of water in ,
1900, the entire section through which 1
these rivers passed raised the best
stock of tho last ten yew and were
also enabled to make use of' continued j
irrigation and water power, which had
not been the case for- a number of I
years. The geological survey Is con- J
ducting systematic measurements on
about twenty rivers in Texas, the re
sults of which will be of use in their
future development

"I have met a great many liars In

other day, "but John Lundy, a Rock
away oyEterman, Is far and away
king of them a,l. It doesn't make any
difference what you tell John in the
way of a fairy tale, he will always go
you one better. You may depend
upon him, for he never falls. Two or
three weeks ago I met John In a
saloon in Long Island City. We got
to talking about fogs, and I tried to
impress him with the thickness of the
fogs in London. I told him how peo
ple, standine on a street corner in
London, could not se the lighted
lamp on the post beside them; how
people, after leaving their own door
step, could not find their way back
home until the fog had lifted, and a
doaen other stories all greatly embel-

not even feaie him. This was the re
turn I got:
" 'Sonny, fogs may be pretty thick"
