Remarkable Thins; Shown by the Klnet oseope When Ileversed. "ImiKiHsibllities Mudo Possible by Monn of the Modern ItiTentlniii In the Electrical Field" furnished Ihethonioof a lecture given recently by Professor O. Qncronlt in tho Paris Academy of Sci ences, During Rome of his experiment he hit upon tho idea to turn around photogrnphlo record nnd also the aerie of picture een through the kinetoscope, respectively the kinemutogrnph. Having photographed a plant nt regular inter vals nnd Hhovt-n in the kinetoscope the growth, the development of the stem, leaves, buds, flower and fruit, the same consequence of pliotogrnphio pic ture reversed triu presented to tho eye of the itstonished academicians, who wondered at the fruit turning into flow ers, flower into buds, buds drawing book into themselves nud disappearing, the leaves closing, getting smaller nnd disappearing, the stem getting shorter and shorter, until the earth closes over it The most incredible things aro devel oped before the eyes of tho spectator if n most ordinary series of sueh pictures is reversed. A drinker take up an empty glass and replaces it full upon the table ; a smoker sees the stump of a cigar fly ing at him from the floor, takes it to his mouth nnd sees the smoke, originate in tho room, draw it into bis mouth and into his cigar, which is gradually lengthened and finally replaced in tho pocket A wrestler, who has probably thrown away his garments, is recovered with them by their, so to speuk, walk ing up on him into their places, while lie himself perform motion of which we can understand nothing because we never saw these most ordinary motions performed backward; a man, for in stance, seated at a table before an empty plate, works hard taking bite after bite from his mouth, until the chicken is whole ngain on the dish before him, nnd the sidn diHhes tire also returned full to their respective places. In order to fully enjoy an exhibition of the kinetosoope, such an exhibition should be completed by arranging alongside, of each other the same scenes in regular order in one ma chine and revorsed in another. It would be advisable, however, to inform tho spectators previous to their looking at such a reversed series of pictures, for othorwiso they might think themselves the victim of a dream, a hallucination, or something worse.

Although nearly all tho passenger oars running out of Chicago have little overhead racks marked "Read and Re turn, "few of these racks contain Bi bles, as they used to. Tho explanation is that tho Bibles disappeared so system atically that the American Bible society discontinued furnishing thorn, bolieving that they could employ their money in fluids in whioh it would be more appre ciated. The suggest ion has boon made that the Biblos be attached to the oar with chains, aa oity directories are in drug tores and hotels, but the idea of chain ing down a Bible is so incongruous that It has mot with little favor.

That la What the Victim of a Practical Joke Thought "A good many year ago, " nid an ex-congressman to a'party of coitgress men, "I was in Georgia. A pnrty of n decided to go from Atlanta to Clark ville on horseback. Tim Murphy, an Irishman, was a lieutenant of the At lanta police force. Ho wanted to go, too, and we consented. On our wny to Clurksville, through the mountainous Sections of the state, we killed two large rattlesnakes. Murphy was amazed and frightened. He wonted to know if snake were plentiful, and we told him that they were. We told him thnt nt Clurksville they hnd often been foniid in the rooms of guests at tho hotel Tim hated to turn back and so went on. "We knew that at Clarkesville a sa loon keeper had a stuffed bull snake, and we concocted a plan to make 'Tim wish he had never left Atlanta. Wo got to the old fashioned hotel all right We were put in a big room, with four beds in it We drank a good deal, and Tim was in excellent spirits. It was a warm night, nnd most of us undressed. Tim pulled off everything but hi shirt He lay down face foremost across tho bed. Then I tied a string around tho neck of the snake, put a fishhook at the other end of the line nnd cautiously hitched tho hook to Tim's shirt . "The n?xt time he turned around he got a glimpse of the snake, 'Holy schmokel' ho yolledl 'Look!' And then ho mado a dash for tho window. A ho jumped out the window the fishhook pricked him in the back. He uttered nn awful yell, said he had been bitten nud went flying through the Bandy street of tho town dressed in Kongo style. Wo followed nud tried to catch him. At ev ery step he swore he had been bitten, and that he would die. Wo overhauled him after tho whole town had been aroused. We took him back to the hotel and filled him with whisky, telling him that was the only cure for a snake bite. The next morning he went to At lanta and took a course under a physi cian for snake hi to. For year nfter that Tim would brag about killing 20 snakes at one time and of having been bitten by ono of them. Ho did not learn of tho trick for five years, and then ho threat ened to take my lifa "Washington Star. The Aryan Cowboys The study of domestic cattle should be of especial interest to us becanso they have undoubtedly occupied a more itu portuut place in our own ancestral his tory than any other species of animal. The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly all western civilization folk are do- soended were cowboys almost to a man. Like the Knfllrs and damaras of South Africa txxluy, all their thoughts were about their herds. This is shown in a curious way by the study of the early development of our language. The Sun. skrit word for a king meant originally ' 'a chief herdsman." Tho word for an as sembly, or the meeting plane of a con gress, was the ume as that for a cow- yard. A soldier was "one who fights about cows. " It would seem as if they regarded nothing else as worth ruling over or talking about or fighting for. Professor Mox Mullcr traces tho word "daughter" to tho auoieut tenn for a milkmaid. In tho good old times they plainly did not take nny account of young ladies who were not accomplished performers in the cowpeu. The cow or ox was for long ages tho chief standard of value Everything, from now ooati to a new wife, was priced at so many cows. Muny of our wards which refer to money bear traces of this, such a 'fee" and poouniary, " which are directly derived from tho old English and Latin words for cattle. Doubtless there were currency disputes when other materials began to be used for coinage, and difficulties arose about the adjustment of relative values. "Cow motuliiam" might well have been an important plank in some of the Aryan political platforms. North American Review. Tho Thonht Switch. "I supposo," said Mr. Glimmerton. "that if a man is blessed with fairly good houlth he ought to be able to sleep nights, bnt, as a matter of fact, many people lie awake half the night worry ing ovor tilings not worth fretting about, and waking up in the morning tired out to start with. "What is needed is a thought switch that will switch the thoughts over from unpleasant lines to line that are pleas ant aud keep thorn there. There are plenty of such switches now, but the trouble with 'em all is that they don't lock. They're all open switches. A man gets over all right, but it's always up grade where this switch is laid, and the first thing he knows he slides back on the old line of thought What we want is a switch that will keep him on the right track till he's gathered strength enough to climb the hill to the levol, where the going is easy, and where the track lies straight for dreamland. ."There's money for the inventor in this, and what a boon he would confer on his brother man. "New York Sua Mains. Ruins in some ooun tries indicate pros perity. In others decay. In Egypt, Greece and Italy they record the decline and fall of great empire. In England, Scotland and Wales they mark aboli tion of feudal tyranny, the establish ment of popular freedom, and the con solidation of national strength. R. Anderson. Llllth, Adam's First Wire. The old Talmudist had a queer leg end concerning the first pair created by the Almighty. According to the story, Lilith was Adam's original "helpmeet," and Eve was the alter con sideration. Tho Talmud says that Lilith was created just as Adam was out of the dust of tho earth. Soon after the breath of life had been breathed into her ears (you will remember that the Bible says "nostrils" in Adam's case) her entire nnture changed to such nn extent that she Became a veritable do mon. About this timo tho devil came along, and, recognizing in Adam's wifo nil that was necessary to make a first class governess of tho infi-rnalegions, persuaded her to quit tho first rYan nnd go with him into the "upper region of tho air. " To us thi seems lik a queer place for tho location of hell, but thnt is tho direction tho pair nresnidto have taken when they left Adam a tho sole occupant of the garden. At homo with tho king of the sulphurous domain, sho became the mother of devils, nnd then deserted Pluto and became a "specter of darkness." After thi transformation her olo de light appear to have been in the de struction of innocent babes. It is even said that our word "lullaby" is a cor ruption of an oriental term, "lillaabi," which means "A vaunt," or "Begone, Lilith. " The ignorant nnd superstitious Jews of tho far cast still tio nmulets or charms around tho necks, waists, wrists or ankles of their bnhea in order to pro servo them from Lilith 's evil intentions. St Louis Republic, Why England Stays In Egypt. But though much has been done, much still remains to bo done, and even If it did not, tho necessity for our con tinuance in Egpyt depends on some thing more than the completion of a programme. When we have exhausted the list of improvement of which tho country is capable, our mission will be only half fulfilled. The pasha and the whole tribo of fattcners on a corrupt system are still on tho spot, only wntch ing for a favorable opportunity to inau gurate a counter revolution and repos sess themselves of their lost fleshpots. Tho peoplo have not yet learned to rely ou any protection agaiust their former oppressors, except what is afforded by the English. Take nwny this support and the whole machine of progress would run down hill agnin, and the great work of the last ten years be completely undone. Tho old corrupt system would at once reassert itself, and the second state of Egpyt would be worse than the. first Tho appetite of the bloodsuckers only whetted by their enforced abstinence, and the hapless fellaheen, instead of feeling, as they feel today, deeply grate ful for 'the intervention of England, would only curse the hour when they first listened to her counsels. Black wood's Magazine. Immense Fortune la Trees. The timber wealth of the United States give a yearly product of over a billion dollars, or twice the valuo of the entiro output of all the mine put together gold, silver, coal, iron, cop per, nino and the rest. This is a re source worth keeping, and yet we are cutting into our oupitul nt the fearful rate of 76 por cent each year, as only oliout 25 per cent of the timber market is represented by new growth. As for losse from the Are that are started by locomotives, cattlemen, berry pickers, hunters nnd incendiaries, it give a suffi cient idea of what they cost us, to be told by the forestry commissioner of Pennsylvania that his state alone prob ably suffers to tho extent of 30,000,000 Annually from this one cause.

Unlike many artist, the presence of visitors or companions does not dis turb him when he is painting. He seems to work without obvious exertion even in his intensest activity.

Does Rnek Make Tan ftelflshf "Talking of game, " suld a diner at an up town cafe, "did you ever notloe that a duck has a weird effect on a man's selfish instincts? A tender canvas book, cooked to a turn, will arouse a pe culiar gluttony in tho averngo good fel low's nature, I've watched thi curious development for years ruining my friends and acquaintances. Just drop into a club or a swell restaurant about the time the shooting season opens. If yon see a fellow hiding over in a corner, his eye balls gleaming like a cannibal's over a young missionary on the Ore why, he's got a duck. Fellows of warm, social qualities, addicted to tnblo fellowship and liberality, becomo possessed of a solitaire gastronomic mania totally out of their lino when they strike duck. They steal off like a dog with a fresh bone, nnd yon can almost hear n growl from tho greedy benst if yon go too close to that bird. Take thnt fellow BOO days in tho year and you'll find him nngling for some other good fellow to share a dinner with him says ho hate to eat alone. Now, I want to know why the succulent duck should nrouse this un canny instinct in a social specimen of tho man. Think it out if you can." Now York Herald 1 "i " r The Princess Wottarnlch.

"Oh, no!" was the answer. "But the Empress Elizabeth is a real empress." The other anecdote, though not more crcditablo to jthe princess' taste, has a racy humor about it which puts us, in spito of ourselves, on better terms with her. Having lost patience in an argu ment with Mme, do Persigny, sho ap pealed to the empress, who begged her to givo in, saying of Mmo. do Persigny, "Remember that her mother is mad."

In one town, where ho stopped four weeks to build a flutboat, there was pre served and pointed out for many years a peeled log, called Abe's log, whereon he and his listeners used to sit lounging nnd whittling in the summer evenings. So irresistibly funny were tho yarns that Abe told there that, said the narrator, who used to be ono of the boys, "when ever he'd end np in his unexpected way the boys on the log would whoop and roll off." The result of this appreciative fric tion, constantly repeated, was that Abe's log, so long iv it was in existence, dis--played a polish like a mirror f n one end to the other. Youth's Coir uiion.
