London, Oct. 6. —Since Zeppelii raids have become more the rule tham the exception in London and there has been a marked increase in public interest in astronomy. Just now the newspapers are filled with discussions anent this or that star — discussions directly attributable to the fact that Londoners have acquired - the habit of star-gazing in the hope of sighting hostile aircraft. Toward 11 1 o'clock at night the usual time," perhaps a third of London looks sky ward.

There is not a new sorrow in the world. Animal Etiquette. No one who is at all observant of ; the ways of animals can have failed to notice how gentle large dogs, like the St Bernard and the Great Dane, are to their smaller canine fellows. It. is rare that a big dog turns upon one of the little fellows, no matter how ! aggravating and snappy the latter may be. Instead, he Invariably treats the small dog's antics with unruffled and dignified tolerance. For there is a recognized code of etiquette among animals, If you please, quite as much as there is among human beings. In truth, there are not a few respects in which the animals can give points ou politeness and good behavior to man himself. POOR PULLMAN PORTERS. Come to Think of It, Their Jobs Are Not Such Easy Ones. George or Lemuel or Alexander of , the Pullman car—whatever the name , may be—has no easy job. If you do ; not believe (hat go upstairs some hot summer night to the rear bedroom— j that little room under tlie blazing tin ! roof which 3-011 reserve for your rela tives—and make up the bed fifteen < r ( twenty times, carefully unmaking it 1 between times and placing the clothe i away in a regular position. Lt t your family nag at you and criticise yo 1 during each moment of tlie job, whi * somebody plays an obligate on tl J electric bell and places shoes and lenth- J er grips underneath your feet. Imag- J iue the house is bumping and rocking— j and keep a smiling face and a cour teous tongue throughout all of it! Or do this ou a bitter night in mid winter, and between ever\* two or j three makings of the bed in the over- 1 heated room slip out of a linen coat ! and into a fairl3- thin serge one and go and stand outside the door from three to ten minutes in the snow and cold. In some ways this is one of the hard- j est parts of George's job.

Edward Huugerford in Saturday Even ing Post. Pasteur's Tribute to Lister. Of all the tributes to the genius of Lord Lister, the discoverer of antisep tic surgery, probably the most touch ing was that paid to him Pasteur, the famous French scientist At a meeting of savants in Paris many I years ago Lord Lister was present, 1 and his brilliant achievements were explained to the audience by Pasteur. As he progressed in his sjieeeh he be came more and more emotional, and at last he was so carried away by his own eloquence that the tears stood in his eyes. Finally he stepped down I from the platform, took Lord Lister. > who was in the front row of the audi ence, by both hands, led him back on ( to the platform and kissed him on both cheeks, after the manner of the French, in full view of the assembly. Few could have looked on unmoved at the great Frenchman's act of homage to the distinguished English surgeon. How to Tell if It is Silver. To distinguish silver from white metal the Jeweler and Metalworker gives the following directions: Rub on a piece of slate, wet the streak with dilute nitric acid, by which it is dis solved. and then a drop or two of hydrochloric acid from the end of a glass rod, when a curd\- white precip itate is formed which does not disap pear on the addition of a small or 1 large quantity of water, being, in fact, indissoluble in this, while most other metals will not be thus affected.
