When a Hedgehog Awake#. When n hibernating hedgehog awak ens it rapidly warms itself up. Whetii er this is done automatically or wheth er it is due to the awakening animal "pulling itself together" seems to be a moot point. The fact is that the nnlmal rapidly warms Itself up. The chemistry of this is a rapid combus tion of glycogen along with a small 01 moderate quantity of fat. There seems 110 doubt that the important fuel which so rapidly makes the fire of life burn up is glycogen; the fat is only sub sidiary. It must be noticed that in the hedgehog the awakening and the warming up are two distinct though associated processes, for the animal may be awake at a lower temperature. , The Waste In Storms. Many scientists and captains of in dustry must sigh during a thunder storm at the vast power running to waste in the heavens, and at sundry times attempts have been made to en trap and utilize the energy of light ning. So far, however, all these have had insignificant results. B\ way of experiment huge rocks have been split asi nder by attracting the lightning to them, and in a few isolated cases it has been claimed that paralysis has been cured by shocks administered by lightning, but as yet man's ingenuity has not devised the harness that will turn the wild, free agent of the heav ens into tractable "horsepower."—Lou don Spectator. f Just to Oblige. When u certain jurist made his first appearance at the bar as a young law yer he was given charge by the state solicitor of the prosecution of a man who was accused of some misde meanor. Although there was practically no evidence against the man, the youthful attorney did his best, but was aston ished when the Jury brought in aver- ! diet of "guilty." After the trial one of the jurors tapped the young lawyer oa the shoulder. "We didn't think the man was guilty," he explained, "but at the same time didn't like to discour age a young lawyer by acquitting Wm."-Harper's Magazine. k ' The Liberty Statue. From time immemorial such great sentiments as liberty, justice, truth have been spoken of and when put into verse, statue or painting have been represented as being feminine. Just why this should be so there is no tell ing, but it Is so. It was in obedience to this custom that "Liberty Enlight- ; ening the World" stands in the shape of a woman.—New York Journal.

They Are Not New, as Pascal Invented One In the Year 1642. The adding machine is of modern de yvlopment. but not a modern invention, a passable out having been invented In 1642 by Pascal (1G23-16G2), a brated French geometrician, philoso pher and writer. Later, in IG7I, the adding machine was modified to facili jate multiplication by Gottfried WJ.I - Leibnitz, a German mathemati cian of great achievement, and his in vention was followed by many Im provements. A notable experimenter in this line was Charles Babbage (1792-1871), au English mathematician, many years professor of mathematics at Cambridge university. In order to secure accu racy In tables of logarithms he con ceived the idea of doing the work by machinery and was commissioned by the British government to superintend the construe*lon of a machine for the purpose. Fe spent much time and money in experimenting and attained some remarkable results, but died be fore perfecting his machine. All calculating machines contain cer tain features devised by special refer- j ence to the work to be done, including circular metallic d'sks, wheels with teeth, etc., ingenious, but not more complicated and no more responsive to human intelligence than many othei machines. The thinking is all done 1 y thd operator.—Philadelphia Press. - Always Leap Year. A most extraordinary custom pre vails among the Vizrees, a powerful tribe occupying an extensive district In Cabul, among the mountains be tween Persia and India—a female pre jogative that has no pa'allel among juy other people of the earth. The romen, in fact, choose their husbands >nd not the husbands their wives. If ! t woman be pleased with a man she sends the drummer of the camp to pin a handkerchief to his cap with a pin she has used to fasten her hair. The drummer watches his opportunity and does this in public, naming the wo man, and the man is obliged to marry if he can pay the price to her father. Incongruous. "How did you get the black eye?"

Steal Rail Inventor. The first modern steel rails of the 1 type which made high B|>eed railway operation possible were designed by Plimmon Henry Dudley, who was born at Freedom. 0., In 184.1 He became civil and metallurgical engineer, amt after four years as chief engineer of the city of Akron. 0.. he turned his at tention to railroading and trausporta tion problems. His first Invention the dynagraph, was made in 1874. He perfected the track indicator in 1880 aDd three years Inter designed the first five Inch steel rail used In America ; In 1802 he introduced the first six inch ! 100 pound rails. „ Another of his in ! ventions which made the famous "fliers" of today possible was the I stremmatograph, an instrument for ob taining and registering strains in rails under moving truins. Bielovitoka Forest, Lithuania. In the great park Bielovitoka forest, in Lithuania, which is about 150 miles in circumference, the primeval forest still stands, and all the wild animals native to central European forests are found there except bears and wolves, which were exterminated some years ago. Except for the roads which pass through it, the forest is unchanged. It is visited by few people except the foresters. MADE THE REPORTER BLUSH. When the House of Lords Adjourned at His Suggestion. There is a good Fleet street story, says a writer in the London Daily Citi zen, of how a reporter once adjourned the house of lords. He bad worked in the gallery of the house of lords for about a quarter of a century, and It may be that familiarity bad dimmed his sense of reverence. One day there had been a stodgy little debate with a dozen members in the house, and the reporter, with his colleagues perched in the gallery, was thoroughly sick of the whole business. His feeling 9 found outlet in a muttered remark as some noble lord on tbe cross benches rose to continue the debate. "Why don't you move the adjourn ment?" said the reporter to himself. He said It louder than be Intended, and the words reached tbe noble lord who had just risen. He on his part believed the words to be a private hint addressed to him from the lord chan cellor, and, feeling that be could not disregard the suggestion, be said, "My lords, I move the adjournment of the debate." Instantly the lord chancellor was on his feet from the woolsack, and their lordships' house rose for tbe day. Hardened as was the reporter, it is stated that as be went out he wa9 blushing at his achievement Typhoid and Cocoanut Milk. An English writer tells of a colored woman In Trinidad who was dying, be yond all hope, of typhoid, and pleaded to be allowed to drink of cocoanut juice. She was beyond the reach of good or harm, so she had her cocoanuts and drank the juice, not of one but of eight In succession—perhaps a gallon of liquid, and the orgle indisputably saved her life. Hearing Heart Beats. If you hear your heart beat in one ear, as many persons do. it Is no proof of anything wrong with the heart It Is much more likely to be a local defect such as chronic catarrh of the middle ear or stiffness and retraction of the drum.

Beepttal Efflci ency. A highly der4ofH<l pfticlPiiry system he soring time- trouble for the staff is used is a London hospital. Indies tow bearing tbe names of the officials, house doctors and some of the staff doctors are located In many rooms and hallways, and these Indicators show at all times whether or not any one af the officials Is in the hospital an.l available for consultation. When each doctor comes Into the building a but ton is pressed that makes It known on all tbe indicators that he has ar rived; and when be goes out the lndi cators are made to record that fact The indicators also show the word "engaged." which means that the of llcial or doctor Is not to be disturbed —a push on a button In tbe official's room accomplishing this. Thus. In any part of tbe hospital, nt any time, each doctor knows and each nurse knows when the various officials and doctors may be asked to give attention to any matter.—Saturday Evening Post. Gods of Machinery. The ceremony of propitiating the gods which are supposed to reside in the printing machinery is annually performed by the Hindu members or tbe Times of Malaya printing staff The usually prosaic machine and com posing rooms are turned into weird caverns of mystery, dimly lit by can dies and oil lamps, and odorous with tbe beavy scent of incense and per fumes. Every machine is garlanded, and has placed before it an offering of "makan." Rice and bananas and cakes are tbe portion of each machine acording in its size and importance; even the "stone" comes In for a share of tbe gifts. At tbe appointed time braziers, containing smoking camphor and cocoanut oil, are carried roundiand held before each machine, while the power engine, whose god presumably Is regarded as a particularly aggres live personage, is "smoked" for a spe dally long period.—Times of Malaya. Von Moltke and Hi> Snuff. During tbe Prussian advance in the Franco-Prussian war Von Moltke con tinually took pinches of snuff. When he was told that MacMahon was marching northward be exclaimed. "He Is surely mad!" and forthwith nearly emptied his snuffbox as he re tired to bis tent to organize tbe plan 9 that culminated in tbe tremendous con flict of Sedan. At tbe end of tbe war Von Moltke received a bill from the military stores with this item: "For one pound of snuff supplied to General Von Moltke, 1 thaler." Tbe great sol dier paid It without a murmur. Accounting For Patrick Honry. It is related that Chief Justice Sal mon P. Chase on stopping at the birth place of Patrick Henry in Virginia ex claimed: "What an atmosphere! What a view! What glorious mountains! No wonder Patrick Henry grew here!" Whereupon an honest native dryly re marked that the atmosphere, the view and the mountains had been there for ages, but that only one Patrick Henry had been produced. Quite a Difference.
