Whaling Is Still Carried On, aa Is Also Candle Making. The launching at Ebbox of a voasol built to crulso for whales Is n remind er of the vitality callings havo oven when thoy havo sunk from their old tlmo spectacular promlnonco. The whaleships of Now Bedford are no longer found In ovcry sen, as In tho era boforo potroloum, but a sorvlco able fleet that searches for sporm.v cettl and whalebono still has that city for Its hailing port.

The Natural Bridge. Tho nvornge height of tho cliffs nbout tho Natural bridge Is about 250 foot; the height of tho bridge about 220. Tho span of tho arch Is 93 feot; Its avorago width 80 feet, and Its thickness In tho center 51 foot. Tho bridge does not cross tho chasm pre cisely at right angles, but in an oblique direction, like what engineers used to call a "skew" bridge Tho top of tho bridge is covered by a clay soil to tho depth of several feot, which nourishes a considerable growth of trees and bushes. These, with masses of rock, servo to form tho natural parapets along -the sides, which quite conceal tho view of tho chasm below. The Roman Tribune. Tho Tribunes in ancient Romo rep resented tho people In much tho samo way that the House of Commons does In England, and the House of Repre sentatives in this country. For a long tlmo the Patricians or aristocrats ot Rome had everything their own way. But when tho Plebeians (or, as wo would say, tho "plain people") got their Tribune the reckless tyranny of tho Pntrlclans ceased. Tho Trlbuno had great power. He could veto al most any act. and nullify almost any law passed by tho Senate. Liberty among the Romans dates from the tlmo they first secured their Tribunes. Would Interest the Child. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin tendent of the schools ot Chicago, say's that she does not believe In much homo work by the pupils, a statement that will delight parents as well as children. She believes, however, that school, work should be so Interesting and concern itself so much with the dally life of tho child that it will want to talk it over at home. The. fact that chBdren do not consider the work Interesting enough to talk about It out ot school is, she says,' a criticism of the schools. Broadening New York.

Oon listing of One Man, Ono Burro and a Rolling Water Barrel. It might bo thought that such an exciting thing as a firo would Btartlo tho Mexicans out of their habitual In dolenco, but such Is not tho caso. Tho alarm of a flro at Matnmoros. Coahulla, Moxlco, was given by tho dischargo of numerous pistols and guns, says a wrltor In tho Wldo World Magazine, and I hastenod to tho Bccno, thinking at first that a battlo was rnglng. After n long Intervnl, during which tho people watched tho firo with Inter est, chnttcrlng among tliomsolvea meanwhile, thero nppearcd placidly trundling along tho rood tho Mata morcsnn equivalent of a flro engine a bnrrol rolling nlong tho ground, drawn by a reluctant burro. A swivel pin in each end of tho keg permitted It to roll freoly and ropes attached It to tho animal. Behind wnlkod the firo brigade a solitary peon, bearing a bucket. Arrived at tho sceno of tho conflagration, tho wa tor in tho barrel was poured into buckets nnd hauled to tho roof of an adjacent house, whenco It was flung onto tho flames. Everybody was greatly excited. Tho calmest thing of nil was tho Ore, which burned steadily on till there was nothing loft to consume. Then as tho spectacle was over tho pooplo dispersed. Every ono was satisfied, excopt perhaps tho unfortunnto owner of tho houso that had been destroyed. Substitutes for Leather. According to Revue Chlmlquo, M. Jules-Prosper Gauthler has Invented a leather substitute consisting of a combination of pure or 'mixed India rubber and vegetable, animal or mln oral fibres. The proportions of theso matorials vary, according to the de gree of pliancy and tenacity required. Good results are given with eighty per cent, fibres and twenty per cent puro or mixed rubber. For manufac ture tho fibres are spread out in form of bands, and then glued together with melted rubber. Other means can, of course, be adopted o. g., Im pregnate the fibres with rubber and compress them In molds or presses, or consolidate the fibres simply by mixing or crushing under rolls. Sev eral previously prepared sheets can also be united to obtain great thick ness. Finally, the product can bo vul cmlzed if so required. It Is then treated like ordinary leather, which It replaces profitably both from tho point of view of price and of quality. Artificial Rubber Invented. There Is quite a stir among tho directors of leading rubber Importing and manufacturing firms nero (Birm ingham, England), regarding the re ported Invention of artificial rubber by a German professor at Kiel, and they seem to be very optimistic, as the inventor enjoys an unquestioned reputation as an authority on all mat ters pertaining to rubber. The in vention is based on the boiling togeth er, under certain conditions, of lso prem with acetic acid. In a closed tube, the result bolng the creation of a gray composite possessing all the properties of pure rdbber and capable of being vulcanized In the same man ner as gutta-percha. At present this artificial rubber has been produced only In small quantities, but It Is the inventor's opinion that when his meth od has been fully developed It will per mit of the placing on the market of on article at one-third tho cost of real rubber. Nature Faking Again. A commercial traveler driving from town to town through the pino woods of Florida saw a drovo of emaciated razorback hogs rushing wildly from tree to tree. Ho halted at tho palings of a "cracker's" homo, nnd asked a woman in a sunbonnot what was tho matter with tho swine. "Well, you see," tho woman ex plained, "my old man is deaf and dumb, and when ho wanted to call the hogs to their swill he learned them to come when ho tapped on one of tho trees. It worked all right whon thoy first got learned, but now them woodpeckers Is makln' tho poor things run their legs off." Every body's Magazine.
