BARGAINING AS A FINE ART. Polite and Loquacious, the Oriental Shopkeeper Will Haggle Over the Price of an Article From Dawn Until Dark-A Sample Tralsaetion. He is the selfsame fellow still, the Cairene merchant, as in the days of Haroun-al-Raschid. He squats In cross legged contentment as of yore, amen able only to the loquacIous system of bargaining dear to the heart of the oriental. The western tourist, foolish ly regarding time as of value, will lose all equanimity long before he has com pleted the smallest transaction. If his knowledge of the east and his patience suffice and he begins negotiations early enough In the day not* to .be driven forth as the merchant sets up his shut ters at nightfall'he may obtain the ar ticle he seeks at a Just and equitable price. If he gains possession of it in less than. the accustomed time he will certainly have paid more than Its mar ket value. Vagamundo, the western traveler- ex perienced In the ways of the east, catches sight during a stroll through the bazaars of an Arabic blade that takes his'- fancy. It hangs high at the top of the open booth, on the raised floor of which serenely squats the pro prietor, with folded legs. Vagamundo, as from the merest curiosity, pauses to run his eye over the countless ar ticles. suggests with a half 'stified yawn that the scimitar looks like what might be a convincing weapon in the hands of an enemy, ventures to hope that the merchant is enjoying fine weather and strolls leisurely on. The shopkeeper continues to puff drowsily at his water bottle until the western er Is all but out of earshot Then he ap pears suddenly to awake and drones out a languid Invitation to return. Vagaimundo pays no heed to the sum mons for some moments, gazes ab stractedly upon the wares displayed in another booth, then wanders slowly back. The merchant hopes that the traveler is enjoying the best of health, invites him to squat in the bit of space not already occupied by himself or his wares, offers a cigarette and falls to discussing the state of the cot ton crop in t"e dia. By the methe second cigarette s lighted he turns the conversation deftly to the scimitar and remarks that though it Is hung among his wares rather for ornament than for sale It is possible he may some day tire of beholding it and part with It for-perhaps 1,000 plasters. Vaga mundo, puffing reminiscently for a time, recalls having heard a friend ex press a desire to obtain such a weap on for, say, 75 plasters or so and wonders, after all, why that friend should care for so useless an article. The shopkeeper regrets that the two prices named do not more nearly coin cide, trusts that the inundations will not be so late this year as last and reaches again for the tube of his nar ghile. Vagamundo expresses his de light that the khedive has recovered from his recent attack, thank the merchant for his disinterested hospital ity and saunters away. The shortest instant before he Is finally lost from view In the surging stream of bazaar loungers he is called back to learn that the merchant is of the opinion that the new land tax will work more effectively than the old, that the scimitar Is probably worth only 780 plasters and that some of the eucalyptus trees in the Esbekieh gar dens are to be removed. With all due respect to Cromer Pasha Vaga mundo doubts the practicability of his latest scheme of taxation and hopes that his friend may somewhere run across such a scimitar at 100 plasters. Thus the transaction M-ontnues; a third, a fourth, even a fifth time Vaga mundo returns. By the sixth visit he has dropped the fiction of a friend and openly offers 225 plasters for the blade, and the shopkeeper. arouses himself sufficiently to take the weapon down for inspection and expresses a willing ness to part with It for 275. Over newly rolled cigarettes the ne gotiation proceeds, now touching upon the prevalence of ophthalmia, anon sirting the matter of scimitars, their manufacture and price. Speaking of scimitars, the merchant suspects that for the one In hand he would be satis fled perhaps at 250 plasters. Vaga mgndo lays that sum--whid' both recognized from the beginning as the just price-on the mat between them, grasps his newly, acquired property and, amid protestations of lifelong friendship from the mercbant, takes his departure. Manchester business men and Chi cago captains of industry, scorning such childish methods, have dived into the maelstrom of the bazaars of Cairo with the avowed intention of "doing business" after the manner of today and 'the west; but ail In vain. The Cairene shopkeeper will -hurry in his transactions for no mortal man. Let the pulsating westerner-press his mer enary suit too tordbly and he dis covers to his surprise, and perhaps even to his dismay, that the merchant of the east displays his wares and squats by day among them merely as a recreation and armusement and that the notion of selling anything is far thest from his thoughts.-Harry A.

L. L. WELLS, ART OF WEIGHING. Wonderful Scales That Are Not Made -of Anything. THE LAW OF FALLINGAODIES. By ThisThanks to Newton..and- Lieb nitz and the Calculus of Differentials, the Weight of Suns and Planets. May Be Accurately Determined. - The art of weighing has expanded into a comprehensive science and can no longer be called a mere art. Scales are made of metal, but the set herein described is not made of anything. Scales are in hourly use that can weigh a peicil mark whose length is one-fourth of an inch; or a section of a hair -of equal length. The usual practice in weighing runs from grains, ounces, pounds up to tons, usually one ton, and then up to fifty or more tons in railroad weighing. costing hundreds and thousands of dollars. But humans would find it quite diffi cult .to make scales that would weigh millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, quintillions. sextillions. septillions. oc tillions and nonillions of tons, or de cillons. -An Instrument able 'to weigh a decillion tons can now be purchased for one cent-a pencil. The scales are not made of metal; instead a set and fixed specific speed is the next to all powerful engine used. Put it is far more easy to run a locomotive or steamship without knowing a single law of these complex machines than to even attempt to use the speed scales without knowing every minute detail of every velocity law of .mov Ing bodies. Let a street car start from rest and keep moving faster and faster until its rate of motion. Is, say, twenty miles per hour at the end of one minute. If the speed of the car increased uniform ly during the entire minute its aver age -speed Is ten miles per hour, be cause It started from rest and in creased to twenty miles per hour. If a body moves during one minute at twenty miles per hour the distance traversed will be speed multiplied by time, or twenty miles multiplied by one-sixtieth of an hour. or one-third of a mile; but the average speed In case of the car is ten miles per hour, so that the distance moved over Is half as great or one-sixth, mile. This is a fundamental law of nature and is of enormous importance.. X4wt For uniformly , Increasing speed, starting from rest, the velocity Increases with the time, but the dis tance traversed is that moved over by the moving body with its average speed, or one-half. If measuring the distance fallen through by a body let fall at the rig Idly exact beginning of one second of time to the rigidly exact end thereof is diffcult, what shall be said of' finding how fast It is falling at the end of the second. Go try: work from the ages of twenty to sixty years daily and you will fall. The fact is, the timerequired to Wud the mathematically exact spe-. cific speed of a falling body in still air was almost that required to measure the distance of the nearest star, about 120 years. Then Atwood invented his machine. and this finally came to some near ap prach to accuracy. But this instru ment of precision fell' far short of the electrical chronographic apparatus. Wen all of this very complex mechan ism Is in perfect order It releases the ball at the exact beginning 6f a sec ond and records the absolute time on the cylinder of a chronograph electric ally and repeats the process at the ab solute end of the second so far as hu man hands are able to do rigidly accu rate work. The moment that those supermen. Newton and Llebnitz, discovered that mighty power, beside which all else human pales into insignifieance-the stulendous calculus or differentials every mathematician saw Immediately that.. one of nature's most magnifieent laws was found In falling bodies. And then began the relentless and arduous self Imposed work of more than a hun Ired years to find the set specific speed acquired by a falling body at the in stantaneous and absolutely exact end o the first exactly measured second of time since man appeared. The result is one grand, all potent, all powerful mean or average of a cen tury of world wIde 'measures. the dia mond of diamonds. the most valuable number In possession of man, the as tronomical balance: Sixteen and one-tenth feet fallen to end of the first second: 32.2 feet per second speed at end of first second. That is, a body let fall will, under the action of the earth's attraction of gravitation, fall 16.1 feet during the first absolute second of time, and at the absolute end of the second will be In motion with a velocity of 32.2 feet per second. These numbers constitute the most accurate and all powerful scales In existence.-Edgar- Lucien Lar kin in New York American. Turkish Postage Stamps. Every one who has collected stamps must have noticed the absence of sov ereigns' heads from those of Turkey. That this Is so is due to the fact that Mohammedans thInk a representation of the human face or figure unlawful. Therefore Turkish stamps carry the rescent. which the Turks borrowed from the Byzantines after the fall of Constantinople. They also used a com plicated, arbitrary sign. supposed to be the signature of the sultan. Search. thy own heart; what paineth thee in others in thyself may be.-John 9. Wittler.
