READING SEALED LETTERS.
A German Relentlst Rliows How This May
Be Accomplished.
It is not geuerally known that sealed
letters may in many eases bo rend with
out opening tho envelopes or doing them
tho least injury. It was discovered by u
German physiologist by the use of an
enihryoHcope, or egg glass, that tho
shells of eggs wero of very unequal
thickness. ,
It occurred to him to mako experi
ments in order to ascertain how many
'caves of ordinary letter or oliieial pa
per must bo laid abovo and below a
written leaf In order to ninUii it illegible
to a highly sensitive eye in tho direct
sunlight. Hn i'ound that after ho bad
rested his eye in n dark room for 10 or
15 minutes ho cold read a piece of writ
ing over tho mirror of the omhryoscopn
that had boon covered with eight layers
of paper.
Ho called iu other observers to con
firm this. The letters, however, that
could thus bo deciphered wcro written
in dark ink ou 0110 hide of tho paper
only. If four written sides wero folded
together, and especially if there hud
been crossing, it was hard to mako out
tho drift of tho writing, and there are
some kinds of writing which, wbeu
folded twloo or thrioo, ndnilt too little
light for tho purpose of deeipliuriucnt.
In this wuy possibly many of tho per
formances of "clairvoyunts" maybe ex
plained. I3y means of the egg glass it
is, as u rule, easier to muke out tho con
tents of letter or telegram without tho
slightest tampering with the euvelope
than it is to detect tho movements of
tho embryo in the egg.
Suppose tho writer of a billet, the
contents of which are known only to
himself, lota it out of hishuudand loses
sight of it for five minutes. It may bo
readily carried cither into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
lifiht uud be read by the aid of the egg
glass. The placing of a piece of car
tridge paper in the envelope or the col
oring of it black ia a means of defense
at hand.
A IlnrmaM sVihsol.
Tbe uproar was like thnf of a run
away .engine tearing through a tunnel.
The floor was littered with youngster
lying on their stomachs, and all bawl
ing with an energy indicative that
somebody was hnrting them. Long,
slim, scratched upon slips of palm loaf,
the equivalent of books lu Burma,
were spruitd before tho scholars. Making
the lads shout is tho approved method
of elementary instruction. When the
master discovers any lagging in lung
exercise, a long switch begins to sing
through the air. Quiot, sorious study is
exploded. The Burmese educationists
argue that so long as a boy is shouting
his mind is occupied. WheuhoisBilcut,
ho is certain to be scheming mischief.
Therefore the boat shouturs are tho host
pupils. Travel.

HE WAS WELL MADE UP.
the Cans of n Wmirirrfnl tilt Made by
the l.nte Kill Nye.
James Whltcomli lliloy tells a quaint
story or his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye. It was the opening of their
joint season. They had both been rnsti
eating during the vacation and v, 10
brown ns berries. Nynlimk, ! 't like
nn Othello in his iun!,u:i.. ' i up,
nnd Hi ley suggested to him the n: rdiea-
tinn of somo "liquid whit ', " i;i:i..jiieiio
much affected by the gentler sex of tho
profession.
Nye sent for tho preparation, nnd
never having used anything of tho kind
beforo ho tilled tho palm of his hand
with it nnd carefully smeared it over
his countenance. There was no mirror
in bis primitive dressing room, and
Riley was beautifying himself ou the
other side of tbo stage.
Tho "liquid white" dries out some
what liko whitewash, and when Nye
nppenred beforo tho audience ho was a
light to behold. His head looked liko a
frosted top piece on a wedding cuko.
His face, white as tho driven snow, was
expressionless and blank. Tho audience
shrieked, mid when ho came off from
his first selection they demanded his
reapjx arnnee. Ho obliged them to howls
of laughter. Again ho niudo his exit,
and again was rcdciunuded by tbe up
roarious audience.
Believing he had mado a hit, he was
about to return to tho stago when ho
wns 011 tight by tho arm by Mrs. Nvo.
who cried, "William Edgar Nye, what
novo you got on your face?"
"Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear. "
"Expression I Fiddlesticks I You'ro a
fright, cried his wife, nnd leading
him tow-hero there was n piece of broken
looking gluss showed hiin bow ho
looked. .
Nye was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley, just abont going ou tho
Btnge, ho would have undoubtedly fol
lowed him on and been revenged but
for tbo intervention of Mrs. Nvo.
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his llext selection wns read
without "a hand" from tbe audience.
Moreover, tho story is a fact and not a
press agent's concoction Detroit Free

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
Tho Arinlesif Europe Hiitc Various Rules
Iti'fiitatluB' It.
The restrictive conditions at present in
forco with regard to tho marriage of
officers in tho Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance iu the
case of olllcers under the ugo of 2!1. Be
tween the nges of 23 and 28 years thu
dot of 1111 ollloer's wife must amount to
a sum representing tho minimum in
come of 2".0 rubles yearly.
On comparison of theso conditions
with those regulating tho same question
iu other Knropenn armies it mny be
noted Unit In tiio Austria-Hnngariau
army the number of ofdeers authorized
to contract murringii is limited by a fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade.
nnd, these totals being reached, all fur
ther marriages inuKt bo det'errud pend
ing the occiii-reuco of vacancies iu tbo
married establishments.
Tho Italian uriny regulations, which
tlx the incomo of tho lianeeo at a mini
mum of from 1,200 to 2,000 lira, would
ap2.enr to bo moro rational iu their
operation. Italian olllcer.1, however, ap
ply u somewhat liberal interpretation to
this law, with thu result that thu num.
ber of lunrriiigi's incurring under actual
provisions dues not exceed more than au
eighth of tho total number, seven
eighths of tho olllcers being united un
der the conditions of tho religious cere
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to ull tho iucouvenieuces which
atteud a marriage not recognized by
civil law.
Similar .disabilities would now ap
pear to be incurred by Russiuu oflloers,
and suggestions have boon inudo by the
press in Russia that a general revision
of the law is boeomiug necessary. The
question is assuming some importance
from tbe fact that Russian officers,
reaching a total number of nearly 40,
000, represent one of the most impor
tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Cit

One cause of the low standing of tho
teacher's calling is lack of extended
professional training. Professions easily
entered are not usually highly respect
ed. The medical profession has been
cited as au illustration. Not long ago,
when one could be a physician without
special training, the profession was not
vory highly esteemed. Now, when ex
tended training is deuauded both by
public opinion and by law, the profes
sion is respected as one of the highest.
In like manner tho teaching profession
would undoubtedly increase in favor
wero training of a high order demand
ed. In fuct, we find the rospoct for tho
proiessiou varying lu Uitlereut countries
and in different grades of the school
system almost in direct' ratio to the
education and professional training re

How Thsjp Do In Dawson. .
"Up at Dawson City," said a return
ed Kloudiker, "tho people, seem strange
to you. Now, while I was at a hotel up
thero burglars ontored and swiped near
ly $000,000 In gold nuggets."
"What did tho boarders do during
all this excitement?" askod tho clerk.
"Kopt perfectly cool," was the quiet
reply. Denver Times,
Hears Clrat Ntreticth.
Yes, tbo strength of gi'1.nly benrs Is
llmost beyond belief. Ihnvo read about
the powerful muscles in the arms of
African gorillas, but tionn can compare
with those in tho arms and shoulder of
big grizzly bears. 1 have seen a grizzly
benr with 0110 fore paw shot into useless
Bess pull its own 1, 100 pounds of meat
nnd bone up precipices and perform
feats of ltmseli) that traine! I dilutes
could not do. I hnvo seen griwOy bears
carrying tho carcasses of pigs that must
have weighed 70 pounds severnl miles
across a mountain side to their lair,
nnd I hnvo heard hunters tell of having
seen cows knocked down ns if by u
thunderbolt with one blow of the fore
paw of a bear.
Three summers ago I spent the season
in tho coast mountains tip in Monterey
county, and one luooilight night 1 saw
a big grizzly benr i.i tho net of carrying
a (lend cow home to her cub. I had n
position on tho mountain sido whore 1
could seo every movement of tho bear iu
tho spari-'cly timbered valley below mo.
The critter carried the dead cow iu her
foro paws for nt least thrco miles, across
jugged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over
fallen logs, r.ronnd tho rocky mountain
sides, where even a jackass could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up the
