Attention was first called to the bleaching effect of' air and light on writing ink as used in modern times by the fact that signatures on certain certificates had become illegible through the "fading ?f Jhe ink, says a writer Uj th§ Joug^pi toe.SfideJQr, If an ink could be produced posses sing the desirable properties of perfect fluidity and, being* nondepositing and at the same time incapable of being de-. colorized by oxidizing or reducing agents, there would be good reason to believe that the writing done by such an ink would be practically permanent. In the meantime, when writing is of an important nature and is desired to endure, some form of carbon ink ap pears to be the only trustworthy prepi: ration. ONCE A WIDE CANAL Broad Street, New York, Where the Curb Brokers Now Operate. The curb brokers of New York, who now operate 011 Broad street, would have been forced to conduct their busi ness from gondolas or canalboats had they made use of that thoroughfare in early days, for where solid pavement now stands there was a wide canal. Many people nowadays, wandering through the narrow streets of lower Manhattan, have wondered at Broad, street's unusual width. Still more pe culiar was such breadth of thorough fare in the olden times, when streets were nearly all narrow, and to dis tinguish it from the alley-like byways that surrounded it the thoroughfare was referred to as "the broad street." The Dutch called it the "Heere Graft." (The latter word had a far different meaning in those days.) It was not at first a.street, but the principal canal of the city. This canal, wide enough for hea.vy boats to pass each other, ran into Broad street at the southern end and continued north almost to Wall street. A similar but smaller ca nal ran through Beaver s/reet. Peter Stuyvesant in 2657 bad the canal's sides planked, and a few dec ades later the waters were gradually replaced by a street. As that street perforce followed the canal's former lines, it was much the widest thoroughfare in all lower Man* hattan and well merited its name of Broad street. The, "Cork Convent." A striking curiosity near Cintra, Por tugal, is an ancient convent built par tially in the interior of an immense rock. The convent is situated in a very isolated spot ancL was formerly surrounded by a dense wood of cork trees. The convent is known as the Convento da Cortica, or "Cork con vent," for the reason that the monks' cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are all lined with cork' to keep out the damp. From 1560 to 1834 the convent was inhabited by an order of monks known as the Capuchins, a remark able feature of their discipline being that, except on certain occasions, si lence was obligatory. Since 1834, when the monasteries and convents of Por tugal were dissolved, the convent has not been occupied, though it is open to the public, a caretaker residing there for this purpose.—Wide World. Princes In England. Only the eldest son of the king of England has a legal right to the title of prince, although other royal chil dren have many privileges. They are sons and daughters of England, they are royal highnesses in their own right, and they could claim to be served on one knee at table when the king is not present Moreover, in England princes are always of royal blood. In other countries they are often mere nobles, ranking after dukes.—London Stand ard. Dubious Compliment. "I'd hate to have Dubson's mean dis* position." "What has he been doing to you?"
