Not for many years have the health returns in Paris shown such a low percentage of deaths as has been the ease since the recent floods. This ia attributed to the thorough cleaning process which took place after the subsidence of tho waters when the I accumulated rubbish of years in eel- I lars and other obscure places waa either washed out or has since been removed by the health authorities, who now praetice a rigid inspection resnltlni in the greatest cleanlines8 and have instituted fre3h methods of insuring the purest possible supply of water. Thus the floods may be con? sidered as a blessing in disguise.-? New York Tribune. Son of Respectable Parents. A refen-nre to the late king "play? ing wtlh the Prince of Wales's chil? dren" rsmtadi ons that a pleasant un? derstanding existed between Prince Edward of Wales and his grandfather. It was the latter, who, having asked what the boy had been reading in his history one morning, received the re? ply: "Oh. all shoat Pekin Warbeck." And, in answer to a request for still more information. "He pretended ha was the son of a king, but he wasn't He was the son of respectable par* snts."***-LoadoB oiobe. Built for Comfort.

The Miracle Play. Passion Play is a dramatic repre SBBtatlOB of the chief events In the passion of I formed every tenth year by the Inhabitants of the Tillage of Oberamergnu, Bavaria, In accordance with a vow made by them In 1C33 to express their gratitude at the cessation of the plague. This Yow has been religiously kept, with few interruptions, ever since. The play depicts the events recorded in the Gospels, and ls interspersed with tableaux from the Old Testament and choral odes, it occupies about seven hours and a half In Its representation, enlists the services of SOO persona and is performed in an open-air the? atre accommodating 1,000. The Pas? sion Play is probably the only "mira? cle play" or "mystery" in existence, and attracts great numbers of tour? ists, as well as peasants, from all parts of the Tyrol and Bavaria. The last performance took place in 1900. Magnetic Lamps. Among the more recent forms of aro-lamps are those In which a stick of magnetite is substituted for carbon in the negative terminal. The mag? netic lamp is the result of efforts to find a substance capable of with? standing exposure in an open arc, and giving a Bi He light instead of the orange color of the brilliant flame carbon lamps. To increase Its effi? ciency, a small percentage of other metallic oxlds ls added to the mag? netite, lt ls found that the flame In these lamps is fed only by the nega? tive electrode, the magnetite stick, which alone needs to be replaced from time to time, the positive ter? minal, composed of copper, not being consumed. Oatmeal and Stature. Archdeacon Sinclair was the guest of Mr. Burdett-Coutts, M. P., at a dis? play of gymnastics given by members of the ShoredltchJVorking Lads' Club, London, which was founded by the late Baroness Burdett-Coutts. In congratulating the members the Arch? deacon said: "I go through many of your exercises myself even to the present day, and as a Scotsman I should like to recommend what I con? sider one of the best preparations for them, namely, good old Scotch oat? meal. I had four brothers, all six feet high, and my father had fourteen brothers and sisters, ranging from six feet to six feet eight Inches?all brought up on Scotch oatmeal por? ridge." Irish Bulls. The origin of the word "bull," as the definition ?f a confused utterance, ls doubtful. Some philologists say lt comes from the French boule? "fraud"; and others that lt is de? rived from the Icelandic bull?"non? sense." Many definitions have been attempted, but the best probably ls that of Sydney Smith. Writing of the difference between wit and "bulls," he says, "Wit discovers real relations that are apparent, 'bulls' admit ap? parent relations that are not real. The stronger the apparent connection and the more complete the real dis? connection of tha Ideas the greater tba surprise sad the better the 'bull/" The Sea's Ventilation. One of the reasons formerly urged IBjaiast the existence of living crea? tures in the abysses of the ocean was ;he supposed absence of oxygen there. It was deemed Impossible that any :onsiderable quantity . of oxygen :ould exist at great depths. But dis? coveries of recent date have shown mat there ls no lack of oxygen even it Uss greatest depths. The explana? tion ls that, the cold water of the polar regions, charged with the oxy? gen from the atmosphere, creeps ilong the bottom toward the equator from both poles and thus carries a ?upply of oxygen over the whole vast loor of the oceans. The surface wa? ler moves toward the poles, and so i great system of circulation exists. Were it not for thl3 world circulation, MIS authority aasureS us, lt ia alto? gether probable that the ocean would in time become too foul to sustain inimsl life, at least In Its higher manifestations, and the sea, the mother of life, would itself be dead.

Diamonds from Gunpowder. Sir Andrew Noble, in % recent ad? dress Royal Institution in London on tbs development of ex the last 50 years, re? lated a remarkable story of what oc? curred during one of his experiments with a gunpowder made of cordite and carbon. After the explosion, in which the elevation <>f temperature was estimated to have been about I rees (Jen Igrade, s residue was left In the explosion chamber In Which Sir William Crookes afterward found diamonds. They wore, of course, exceedingly minute, and must have beni formed from the carbon under the influence of the immense heat and pressure developed at the moment of the explosion. SHIPS OF THE AIR. Aerial Fleets Will Play Great Part In Coming Wars. It really begins to look as If the next war?If war there must be?will mark the Introduction of aerial manoeuvres on a scale which would hardly have seemed possible a few years ago. At the end of IBO! says the Youth's Companion, there were already in existence, either finished or promised to be ready for service very shortly. 32 dirigible balloons and 56 aeroplanes belonging to the vari ious European nations. Of these di r many has 14 dirigibles, of six different models, and five aeroplanes; France, BS* n dirigibles and seven aero? planes; Austria, two dirigibles and four aeroplanes; Pmgland, two dirigi? bles and two aeroplanes; and Spain, one dirigible and three- aeroplane- It ls interesting to remark how Germany runs to dirigibles and France to aero? planes. Yet France was the first offi? cially to experiment with the former type. How Danish Farmers Prosper. The Danish farmers. liviBg as they do on or near the seacoast, are great exporters of dairy stuff. England is so big a customer that the Danes in fun reproach their neighbors with eating up their butter, and leaving them only oi- irin. "Yet." says Mr. F. M. Purlin in "Among the Danes." "they are not all of that way of thinking, for one old farmer asked us if We could not persuade our fel? low countrymen to eat butter with their cake. "If you ask how the Danish farm? ers manage to keep pace with our j (the British! increasing appetite for Danish eggs, butter and bacon, the j , answer is, they co-operate. The but? ter which is exported is made in their CO-Operatlve dairies. The pigs are slain in tie lr co-operative slaugh? ter-houses, and the Danes are not a little proud of the process. Ons dis* tlnguisl complains that during his stay in Denmark he was always being asked to come and see a pig killed. "The eggs are exported by co? operative societies. If a Dane has only one egg he can export it?al? ways provided it be a good egg. No mistake must be made about that. Before the eggs are packed for ex? port, down in tbe co-operative fac? tory on the shore, they are held over -in filled with electric light, when all defects can be detected with the Baked eye. It is no use for an old egg to pose as a young one then. Each egg is marked with the owner's num? ber and the number of h's district; the owners of bnd eggs are fined. No less than eighteen thousand Danes belong to this nne society. Here, too, butter is packed for the English mar? ket." Soft-Boiled Shirts.
