TORTURE MACHINES
Curious Instruments That Wero Used
In the Middlo Ages
In an old tower in Nuremburg there
Is a room set apart especially for the
preservation of the curious Instru
ments of torture used during the un
certain period historically referred to
as the middle ages
In that room you can see thumb
screws of the most approved pattern
closely arranged along shelves filled
with Har helmets and bridles for
gossiping women One horrid relic
called the spike wheel is a heavy
cylinder on one side of which stand
out two or more score of sharp Iron
spikes In days of old when an of
fender had been sentenced to undergo
a rolling he was stripped naked and
firmly bound on a plank face down
In this position the spike wheel was
slowly dragged up and down his back
the number of times depending upon
the gravity of the crime and the word
ing of the sentence
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded so full of holes that they
died before they could be removed
from the plank When death was in
tended the number of rolls was not
specified but double length spikes
heated red hot were put in the surface
of the cylinder This mode of carrying
out capital punishment was hardly as
expeditious as the guillotine but it
was equally certain
GIANT BUTTERFLIES
Have a Wing Spread Greater Than
That of Many Small Birds
The largest butterfiy known to nat
uralists is found only in British New
Guinea and specimens are worth any
thing from 100 upward The mule
measures eight inches across the
wings and the female not less than
eleven inches a wing spread exceed
ing that of many small birds
The story of the first discovery of
this gigantic butterfly is a curious one
says the Wide World Magazine A
naturalist saw a specimen perched on
the top of a tree and failing to cap
ture it by any other means finally
shot it
From the fragments he decided that
the species was entirely unknown to
science and he forthwith fitted out an
expedition at a cost of many thou
sands of dollars to go In search of the
magnificent insects
Two members of the party fell vic
tims to the Papuan cannibals and an
other was rescued only in the nick of
time In spite of this inauspicious
commencement to his enterprise how
ever the naturalist persevered and
ultimately succeeded in obtaining a
number of perfect specimens
Origin of the Letter V
The letter V may be regarded as the
mutilated remains of one of the sym
bols used by the ancient Egyptians in
their hieroglyphics or picture writing
A common animal in their country was
the two horned sand viper a represen
tation of which stood for V The
priests ultimately found that for the
practical purposes of everyday life it
was a waste of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented a kind of
shorthand to meet the occasion In
this tbe snake was reduced to a V j
with a dash V to represent horns
and body The Phoenicians adopted
this letter and from them we get our
V by loss of the dash leaving only
the two little horns of the original pic
ture This snake is still common in
Egypt and is probably the one men
tioned in Genesis xlix 17 Dan shall
be a serpent by the way an adder in
the path that biteth the horse heels so
that bis rider shall fall backward
Travelers tell us that It is still addict
ed to this unpleasant habit
Wet Weather and Camels
Camels tare very seusitive to mois
ture In the region of tropical rains
they are usually absent and if they
come Into such with caravans the re
sults of the rainy season are greatly
feared The great humidity of the air
explains the absence of the camel from
the northern slopes of the Atlas and
from well wooded Abyssinia This
sensitiveness expresses itself in the
character of different races The fin
est most noble looking camels with
short silk like hair are found in the
interior of deserts as in the Taureg
region in north Africa and they can
not be used for journeys to moist re
gions Even in Fezzan south of Trip
oli the animals are shorter and fatter
with long coarse hair and in Nile
lauds and on coasts it is the same
These animals too are less serviceable
as regards speed and endurance
The Eyes of the Musk Ox
The skull ot the bull musk ox is re
markable for the development of the
eye orbits which project sufficiently
beyond the plaue of the frontal bones
to compensate for the interruption tin
horns would otherwise make in the
range of vision The musk ox how
ever does not seem to rely greatly on
keenness of sight far less on acute
ness of hearing for the ears are of
small dimensions and are completely
covered by the heavy growth of fur
about them The organs of scent ar
evidently more highly developed and
they exact of the hunter his greates

OLD LONDON INNS
Some That Are Famous Because of a
Special Dish
Though various restaurants In New
York Washington New Orleans or
San Francisco are famous for certalu
dishes yet this is generally the result
of accident ruther than design that
one article upou the menu should be
pre eminently successful and popular
Tbe day is past when this one dish
could make the reputation of the
place
In London however this Is not the
case though it must be confessed that
there are not now as many Inns as
formerly which have become famous
by reason of the popularity of oue
dish In times gone by every London
Inn of any pretensions at all bad its
special dish whereon it prided Itself
and to partake of which patrons trav
eled many miles
Eel pies were once the great feature
of breakfast served at the old Sluice
House near Finsburg park The nec
essary quantity of fish was regularly
dredged up from the stream which ran
under the windows of the inn The
pies are still to be had but the eels
are procured from a nearby fish mar
ket
Simpsons in the Strand is noted for
Its fish dinners This place was once
immensely popular and even today
there is a certain following who swear
by its repasts For a certain sum the
guest eats as much of a variety of fish
as be cares to
Another inn boasts of a special dish

the particular cut to which he is par
tial The mutton Is kept warm by

THE RIVERNILE
Egypt Would Be a Wilderness but For
This Wonderful Stream
The Nile is probably the most won
derful river in the world It has made
Egypt possible by turning an arid
wilderness into the richest land in the
world It has provided at the same
time an admirable commercial high
way and made easy the transportation
of building materials The ancient
Egyptians were thus enabled to utilize
the granite of Assuan for the splen
did structures of tbe hundred gated
Thebes and of Memphis and even for
those on Tanis on the Mediterranean
coast
At a time when the people of the
British isles were clad in skins of wild
beasts and offered human sacrifices
upon the stone altars of the Druids
Egypt was the center of a rich and
refined civilization Most of the de
velopment of Egypt was due to the
Nile which not only watered and fer
tilized the soil annually but was and
is one of the best natural highways in
the world
From the beginning of winter to the
end of spring that is while the Nile
is navigable the north wind blows
steadily up the stream with sufficient
force to drive sailing boats against the
current at a fair pace while on the
other band the current Is strong
enough to carry a boat without sails
down against the wind except when it
blows a gale That is why the ancient
Egyptians did not need steam power
nor electric motors for the immense
commerce that covered the Nile nor
for barges carrying building materials
for hundreds of miles New York

The Uses of Rubber
It is probable that no other com
modity ever came into such varied use
within so short a period as india rub
ber First employed practically for
footwear and other waterproof apparel
rubber has come to be employed In
electrical insulation hose pipes for the
conveyance of water steam air and so
on pneumatic and other tires for all
sorts of wheeled vehicles balloons and
the planes of aerial machines innu
meral articles for the comfort of in
valids household conveniences and
what not Thus far rubber has never
come into use to an important extent
for any given purpose to which it is
not still devoted In other words its
advantages are so marked in many
uses that when once introduced no
substitute can be found for it Cas

Odd Hair Styles
Some of the New Hebrides people do
their hair up in a bunch on the top of
the head and stain it yellow while
the inhabitants of tbe Ombai islands
pass it all through a tube so as to
make a kind of plume The Marquesas
chiefs favorite method is to shave all
the head except two patches one over
each temple where he cultivates two
horns of hair No doubt this is to
render him more a thing of terror to
his enemies than admiration to his
friends His reason for shaving the
rest of the head is to allow more space
for tattooing as if all the available
kin of the bodv were not enough

HE PLAYED CRITIC
The Composer Tried to Be Funny and
Got a Surprise
Slgnor Leoncavallo tbe composer re
counted an amusing experience that
befell him In u theater where be occu
pied a stall one evening to bear tho
performance of his Pngllaccl
At tbe Unnle a stranger sitting next
him kept exclaiming enthusiastically
What a masterpiece What a per
fect masterpiece
Leoncavallo imnglnlng himself utter
ly unknown In the audience thought
it would be fine fun to play the critic
of bis own work so chimed in Iron
ically
A masterpiece I dont In the least
agree with you sir Im a musician
myself so know what Im talking
about The fact Is this opera Is a
worthless production and brimful of
Imitations and plagiarisms For In-
I stance that cavatina is filched bodily
from Berlioz the duet in the first act
is all Gounod while the finale Is a
sorry copy of one you will find in
Verdi
Next day Leoncavallo drove to tho
railway station and bought the leading
local journal On comfortably seating
himself in the train he opened It and
was aghast with astonishment at en
countering tho following Hues

STEALINGA DOG
Sir Edwin Landseers Experience With
a London Fancier
Sir Edwin Landseer the animal
painter one time was about to put the
finishing touches to the portrait of a
dog belonging to a nobleman and was
expecting a visit from bis model when
the owner arrived In a state of great
perturbation without the dog The an
imal had been stolen After talking
over the loss with Sir Edwin the own
er decided to leave the matter In the
painters hands together with a teu
pound note as a reward for the recov
ery of the dog
Sir Edwins acquaintance with the
dog fanciers was large and ho sum
moned to bis aid one Jem Smith who
he thought might put him on the right
track He showed the man the picture
and the banknote and promised that
if the dog was restored no questions
should be asked Six weeks later
Smith arrived at tbe studio leading the
missing dog by a piece of string
Here is your 10 said the artist and
I suppose I must ask no questions
But now that the affair is done with
you may just as well tell me about it
After a moment of hesitation the
man confessed that he himself was the
thief You you thundering rascal
exclaimed Sir Edwin Then why on
earth have you kept us In suspense all
this time Well you see govner
was the answer I stole the dorg but
the genleman I sold him to kep Im so
jolly close that I hadnt a chance of
nicking him again till yesterday and
thats the truth selp me
Birds as Oracles
A most remarkable superstition of
the Kenyans of Borneo is the consulta
tion of birds If for example a Ken
yah has to undertake a long journey
he will not risk it without having first
consulted the tlakki a kind of hawk
If tbe hawk flies with its wings spread
out to the right side it is a good sign
but if it goes to the left or flaps its
wings then the journey is not begun in
any circumstances The next day the
Kenyah tries once more until the
hawk gives the sign which he wants
Thus the continuation of the journey
depends on the flight of tbe birds
Some birds are of greater importance
than others and also to the singing of
the birds attention is given Other
animals are also consulted and the sea
Dyaks call every animal a bird when
the consult it
Prodigality of Life In Ancient Egypt
The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling In
this respect as the monuments yet re
maining abundantly prove they stand
alone and without a rival We may
form some idea of the almost incred
ible waste when we hear that 2000
men were occupied for three years in
carrying a single stone from Elephan
tine to Sais that the canal of the
Red sea aloue cost the lives of 120000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor of 300000
men for twenty years
An Infamy
Some year3 ago we remember meet
ing at the door of a secondhand book
shop an excited Irishman He had
just bought the Irish Melodies for a
shilling when he turned round on th
bookseller and burst out Put I could
kill ye for selling these immortal gem-
so cheap London Athenaeum
