During the recent riouing at Barce lona all the gas and electric light plants were out of commission, and the city was illuminated only by tho searchlights of warships in the har bor. Thc term "electricity" was derived from the Greek word meaning amber. Electricity itself is earliest described by Theophrastus (321 B. C.) and Pliny (70 A. D.), who ?mention the power of amber to attract straw and dry loaves. At the annual convention of the As sociation of Edison Illuminating Com panies, the licensees under Mr. Edi son's patents, held last week at Scar borough on the Hudson, was cele brated "he thirtieth birthday of the incandescent lamp. In order to compete more effective ly with the gas company, which lets kitchen and other stoves, the munici pal electric light plant of Aberdeen, Scotland, has laid in a stock of elec tric heating and cooking apparatus, which it propres to offer for hire at proportionately low rates. i . The latest use of radium was upon a case of filariasis, or blood worm dis ease, in Paris. In this mosquito caused disease che blood at night swarms with millions upon, millions of microscopic maggots plugging up and inflaming and swelling the ker nels in the armpits. A short course of radium in the armpits cured the swelling and made the worms scarcer in the blood. Plans hare been filed for a new home for the American Geographical Scciety at 156th street and Broad way. The building will form one of a group that nov/ includes the His pano Society's home and the Numis matic Museum, although lt has no connection with either institution. The building will be erected from funds provided by Mrs. C. P. Hun tington. The estimated cost of the building will be between $250,000 and $300,000. Professor Charles Richet, of Paris, has devised a means for purifying the air in rooms. According to press dis patches his apparatus is au air filter which mechanically sterilizes air. V'ry fine drops of glycerine are scat tered along the walls of a cylinder containing a suction fan. Each par ticle of air drawn in by the fan is freighted with glycerine, and hence tends io drop, thereby carrying with it the germs, dust, and microbes with which it may be laden. The Middle Splash. "That is impossible," said Senator Aldrich of a socialistic proposition. ?He laughed. "In its (impossibility," he went on, "it reminds me of Joe Johan's mid dle splash. . "Joe Jobson, a very ignorant and pig-headed chap, presented himself at the^church with his infant son for the christening. The following dia logue then took place between Job son and'the minister: " 'What name do you give this child?' " 'Peter Ananias Jobson.' " 'Ananias? I refuse to christen the child in that name. Do you know who Ananias was?' " 'I don't know who he was, and what's more 1 don't care.' , " 'But Ananias was the greatest liar in all biblical history.' " 'Well, that's nothing to me. My baby ain't no liar, so what's the dif ference? J wani him christened Ana nias because I like the sound of it.' " 'I won't do ii. I will christen the child Peter Jeremiah Jobson.' "And the minister was as good as his word, and as he reneated each name he sprinkled a little water on the infant's face. " 'Arid I nil) out that middle splash.' ?r,id the father, heatedly. He rubbed his sleeve across his child's wet face and sprinkled a little more water over it. '[ rub out that middle snlash. substitute this one for it, and christen him Peter Ananias Jobson.' And that settled it." - Washington Star. Parliamentary Pretensions. Parliamentary repartee, as illus trated by recent anecdotes in the Office Window, was ably upheld by Lord Brougham, especially during the great reform debates of the last century. On one occasion, when an ti-reformers were trying to howl him down by imitating the-sounds made by various animals, among which the braying of the ass was most recur rent, he waited for a pause, and then remarked imperturbably that by a wonderful disposition of nature every animal had its peculiar mode of ex pressing itself, and he was too much of a philosopher to quarrel with any of those modes. This was no less se vere than the famous libel on the Earl of Limerick, calling him "a thing with human pretensions." which appeared in the Times in 1831, and for which the printer was fined ?100 and confined for an indefinite period in Newgate.-London Chroni? ele. Easket Willows. A bulletin of the American For. estry Association says: "A truly in fant industry in this country is the growing of basket willow.

By HOLMAN DAY.' On Little Spruce Island on the Maine coast I found three old men, brothers-William, Daniel and Nehe miah. Shanks. They have lived there all .their lives In a tumble-down little shelter. They are melancholy old men. They are contented, but the I sea has brought to them a strange, I brooding, wistful solemnity. William and Daniel never married. Nehemiah has had a poor little romance that broke his heart. He went home with his confession of wrong-doing. "Then you must look out for tho boys after I'm dead,*' said his father, forgiving him. Nehemiah has spent his life "looking out for the boys," who are now infirm old men. "It is my duty in return for my father's pardon of my wrong-doing," he told me, "and I have'tried to do my best. I am the youngest, and I am best able to work." For more than twenty years Will iam has never come out of the hut into the sunshine. He told me that he feared the sun might heat his brains and interfere with his life work, which is the composition of poetry. While William- idles, Nehemiah tills the little garden, catches fish, digs clams and cooks. He is cheer fully the burden-bearer, and with some pride says that he is the head of the famiiy; for when his father imposed the trust on him he did so with a ceremony truly patriarchal; he gave into Nehemiah's hands the staff on which he had leaned for many years, saying that it should be the badge of Nehemiah's authority. Nehe miah described the scene to me, tears trickling down his wrinkled cheeks. Memory was only a partial spur to this grief. Daniel, after more than sixty years of obedience, had become a most amazing rebel. He had declared that another flood had been prophesied to him in a vision, and that he had been ordered to build an ark on Little Spruce. Little Spruce is owned by a lady in Boston, as part of an exten sive holding of islands. The Shanks brothers have been permitted to re main as squatters on condition that { they do not disturb the standing tim ber. Nehemiah gave this promise to the manager of the estate. Daniel, though threescore and ten, took the family axe, hand-saw, and hammer and proceeded to his labors on his ark. Nehemiah stood in front of the lordly spruce that Daniel was about to attack with the axe, and in the name of .the Shanks family for bade him to chop. Daniel had the zeal of monomania and insisted. Then Nehemiah brandished the family staff and threatened to chastise the disobe dient son of their father. Daniel, in a frenzy, made at his brother with the, axe, routed him, captured .the staff, chopped it up, and "then began' on the tree. He laid waste quite a section of woodland before Nehemiah got word to the agent. Then in high dudgeon Daniel built a-shack of his own. He lives'. in it and refuses to speak, toihiar^ifpthers. "I still hope to be able to meet fa-' ther a? the door of heaven and tell' him that I kept the Shanks family together and kept it decent, as he would have liked to have me keep it," said Nehemiah, .sadly. . "Daniel was always hard to manage; father found him so. But I think he will come back to his home, for I am .the only one in the family who can cook things as mother used to cook them."-Har. per's Magazine. Pope Pius and the Guards. It would seem to*e the ambition of Pope Pius X. to pass down to pos terity as the Reformer. He has al ready instituted several notable ro forms, in the total reorganization of ? the financial departments of the Vat- I ican, in the ecclesiastical congrega tions, in taxes, and in the ceremonial ' music. At present the Pope is con- t templating a number of important changes within the walls of the Vat ican with a View to reducing need less expenditures. He has expressed the opinion that there are far too t many idle people about the premises ^ -officials who are costly, but whose offices are pure sinecures. The % guards, for instance, are practically valueless. The Guards of Nobles, the j Swiss Guards, the Palatine Guards, the Gendarmerie-all alike necessi tate a vast expenditure for which little is obtained in return. If his holiness acted in accordance with his } real wishes, he would abolish all these, but consideration of historic interest will probably induce him to confine himself to a mere reduc- 1 tion in numbers.-Rome Correspond- * ence of the London Globe. Facts About Gravesend. Gravesend, now smarting under j her treatment by the admiralty in re- ( lation to the disposition of the war ships in the coming Thames review, j has been always more or less a spoiled t child of fortune.

Sweeter than any perfume ever dis tilled by the chemist, sweeter than roses or cape jessamines, or the scent of a ripe grape, sweeter than new mown hay or a baby's breath, sweeter j than fresh linen and milady's washed hair, is the smell of the rain. It is the breath to the nostrils, ex hilaration to the lungs, elixir to the blood, and wine to the brain. The dusty earth inhales it and is pulsing again with potential life; the flowers that were panting are revived, i.nd the very leaves of the trees absorb it as incense and are lifted up. Hun gry, fretful, parched and complain ing, man opens his mouth and gulps it down like a gormand. The fading and wilting cotton blos som welcomes it as a message of new life, and the naked of all the world rejoice in the hope of replenished wardrobes. The growling, groveling beasts of the stock exchange, intent upon the dust and drought and want of grim prospect, - sniff it and are abashed and tame. Miasmas of pri vation and distress fade away from it, as the fogs before the sunshine, and mellow wholesomeness possesses the fields and permeates the habita tions of men. The grass of the plains, brown and withered and dry as stubble, senses it as the blind and deaf are aware of the unseen and unheard approach of friends, and lt steals over the land as the perfumed herald of an unfor getting Providence. The very sparrows of the ground twitter their delight, the songsters of the forest acclaim it with a more liquid melody, and the mother bird on her nest whispers rejoicings to the brood beneath her wing. The bee that hung despairingly to the honey comb flies straight to the clover fie|d. It springs up like a new born pres ence; it comes down like a benedic tion. An unseen censer is swung in the air; a silent baptism is cele brated; the prayer that was uttered haltingly and half-faithlessly is an swered, and a vpcurreecion is realized. What skeptical, impatient and un worthy creatures we are; what mal contents and murmurers! And how short-sighted is our view of creation : and reproduction and the eternal scheme of life! Six thousand years have taught us little, though we know so much of the current day and hour. A lifetime of bounty, centuries of progress, and the recurring cycles of a perpetual universe are vain to impress our poor understanding with the truth of the unfailing and the everlasting. What know we of the recessions and precessions, the actions and the reactions, the energies and the restings of this old-young earth's large life? How unmindful we are of the deep, big truths which nature has been exhibiting all these years and generations and eons of the up ward and advancing march! A little trial, a little hardship, and we are undone, though the storehouse is full and the fat years are certain to re turn for the fruitful ground will not belle itself. .But the smell of the" rain-one whiff of it and all repinings are done, and the way is shining again, and we are after the butterflies as eager and as heedless as before. Men are but children of a larger growth, and their ears are dried and their hurts are healed by little kisses which they straightway forget.-For/ Worth Record. Largest Animal in the World. What is claimed as the largest ani mal in the world is represented by a colossal skeleton in the museum of Christ Church, New Zealand. This is the remains of a large specimen of the blue whale stranded on the coast of that country. This whale is probably the largest of all living animals. The length of the skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the head alone is twenty one feet. The weight of the bones is estimated at nine tons. This gigantic whale gets its name of blue whale from the dark bluish gray of its up per surface. The tinge of yellow on : its lower part has led to the name "sulphur bottom," by which it is : known on the western side of the At lantic. It is otherwise known as Sib bald's roquai (Balenopterasibbaldii). The chief food of this gigantic ani mal is a small marine crustacean (Thysanopoda inermis), known to the whalers as "kril." Another spe .cles ot the same shrimplike group has been obtained in thousands from ? the stomachs of mackerel caught on the Cornish coast. The nearly re lated oppossum shrimps found in enormous numbers in the Greenland seas form the chief food of the com mon whale. Some of the thysano poda are phosphorescent and contrib ute to the liminosity of the sea. London Globe. Lost, Stolen or Stiaycd. A story is told of a certain man liv ing in a New England village who lost a horse one day, and failing to find him he went down to the public square and offered a reward of $5 to whoever could bring him back. A half-witted fellow who heard the offer volunteered to discover the where abouts of thc horse, and sure enough he returned in ,half an hour leading him by his bridle.

COOK AND PEARY -- v $500,000 Apiece Will Accrue to Discoverers, Besides Honors, Medals and Decorations. Shortly before Commander Peary, sailed away in the Roosevelt, his little Uirl asked him a question. People ,bf sordid inclinations, to whom the eagle on a dollar hill is ever the bird of freedom, have been asking the same question ever since the first Arctic axplorer sailed away for the top of the world. "Papa," asked the little girl, "what lo you want that old pole for? Is it any good? Can you get any money tor it?" I "My dear," replied .the explorer,1 "when you are older you will know that there is a thing called honor which is worth more than money." I This was a very noble sentiment/ and the little girl is jproud to remem ber that ber father said It, but now. that he has been successful and the North Pole has been discovered, and' Bagged and tabbed for future refer ence, it begins to be apparent that the North Pole not only brings honor, but large amounts of money ks well. ? Market Price of a Pole. Why gp in search of the pole? What is it worth? For th? sake of those to whom medals and decorations are but gold' lises strung on fancy bits of ribbon,' let us turn first to the cash value of the North Pole and exploration as a business proposition. The' price tag ls always an interesting document; it is the point from which most men Bgure. The medals and decorations can wait, for/'they have always been above price. Before Dr. Cook had time to get a mave and a new suit of clothes, a mah knocked at his door and stated that he was authorized to offer him the sum of $125,000 for his book. Dr. Cook did not accept this offer, and ' the. result of the Peary announcement lias been that one firm of American jook publishers has offered Dr. Cook i sum which dwarfs the orinigal amount. The same will be true in Commander Peary's case. The next man who made Dr. Cook an offer was a representative of a lecture bureau. He offered a cool quarter of a million for one hundred lectures; an American theatrical con cern asked Cook, to name his own terms and consider the affair closed. '. Thc Lucrative Lecture. At the same time a magazine offered Dr.'Cook 520,000 for an arti- . ?le deal- ig with his trip to the pole. ? This makes all other dollar-a-word rates look cheap by comparison. The great amount of money will lome from the books and the lecture | platform. The latter is always open .o men whose dignity will not allow, :hem to descend to theatrical methods 3f exploitation. Those who live' In a great city have no idea of the wide Beld offered to the man whom .the common people wish to see and hear: Commander Peary has made many lecture tours; he has always been a ;reat drawing card. What has gone before will be a very small thing to ?vhat must come after his successful :rip to the pole. On a safe, sane and conservative estimate, the discovery of the North Pole will bc worth somewhere be tween $400,000 and $500,000 to each man within the first eighteen: months. A.3 the world is a larp;e place and lec ture platforms are always open, both men may be sure of more than a Pres ident's salary for several years to come, or until such time as they de cide to retire and live upon the in terest of their money. The cash value of the North Pole has been dealt with. Now for the honors and the decorations-the little medals in the hardwood cases. Medals Galore., While the telegraph wires were still buzzing with the wonderful news came th' word that the King of Den mark had greeted the man from Brooklyn with royal honors. Dr. Cook has received from the Danish Geographical Society the^Gold Medal of Merit with the Crown, a decoration which has been bestowed on but three explorers-Nansen, Sven Hedin and Amundsen. Dr. Cook will be the first American to wear this decora tion. . The Italian Geographical Society, aroused to great interest in polar re search by the feat of Abruzzi, will present their gold medal to Dr. Cook. He will be the third man'to wear It, the others being the Duke of Abruzzi and Lieutenant Shackleton, the En glishman.

Congress will vote medals to both men. These medals will not be handed to them by a gsntleman of royal birth ; some representative with whiskers will probably make a 3hort speech, perhaps crack a joke or two, and the plain sold discs will be 'de livered; that will be all the ceremony. But a medal voted by Congress means something, am1 perhaps these two Americans will value those medals above all tho jeweled decorations of kings and potentates. Robert E.

Efforts to utilize the spider's web for practica*! purposes were made as early as 1710 in France. .
