SCARED THE ROBBERS.
Odd Incident In England In the Eighteenth
Century.
For a time during the eighteenth century
in England there was a lull In
the robbery Industry owing to an odd
incident Shortly after the execution
of an English burglar named Elllston
a curious communication purporting
to hare been written by him was put
into circulation. "Now, as I am a dying
man." it ran, "I have done something
which may be of good use to the
public. I have left with an honest
man?the only honest man I was ever
acquainted with?the names of all my
wicked brethren, the places of their
abode, with a short account of the
chief crimes they have committed, in
many of which I have been the accomplice
and heard the rest from their
own mouths. I have likewise set
down the names of those we call our
setters, of the bouses we frequent and
all of those who receive and buy our
stolen goods. I have solemnly charged
this honest man and have received his
promise upon oath that whenever he
hears of any rogue to be tried for robbery
or housebreaking he will look into
his list and if he finds there the name
of the thief concerned to send the
whole paper to the government Of
this I here give my companions fair
and pnbllc warning and hope they will
take It" It Is said the hint was so
effectual that for a long time pickpockets
and burglhrs in that part of
England went Into panic stricken retirement
And, this being so, It Is Just
as well they did not know that the letter
was a clever forgery, the work of
that prince of wits and humorists.

Origin of Ozone.
According to Messrs. Henrlet and
Bonyasy, ozone Is produced by the
ultra violet rays of the sun In the up?
enr atmosphere, and the amount con
tained In the air near the ground increases
when air currents descend
from the upper regions. Sometimes
also It Increases during rains. It has
been observed that there is a reduction
of the proportion of carbonic acid in
the air when the amount of ozone increases.
This is regarded as an indirect
effect due to dilution of the lower
air by the purer air descending from
above.

Consumption is preventible,
Dr. Simon Flexner asserts. He
is the head of the Rockefeller institute
for research. Experiments
with various animals, he
declares have shown that the
newly found preventive had in
many instances rendered its
subject immune. The antidote
is called tuberculin. It acts upon
the system as a sort of antitoxin.
FAKE PAINTINGS.
On* of the Ingenious Tricks of th?
Picture Dealer.
The tricks of the picture denier?
They nre uot to be counted. Here Is
one that was played quite recently. A
dealer ordered from an artist u tavern
scene in the old Dutch style signed lu
the corner with a fa In.lie of Jan
Steen's signature. When the smoky
look of age had been given it the dealer
eyed It with approval.
"Splendid!" he said to the ueedy urtlst.
"It's a pity you shouldn't have
the credit of It. Pray sign it with your
own name. It may make your reputation."
The poor artist, delighted, painted
?? Via clunohirn nf T:in StePn and HPt

his own name there. Three weeks
later the picture started for New York,
consigned to a Fifth avenue merchant
of paintings. But by the same boat
went an anonymous letter to the custom
house officials warning them that
an attempt was being made to smuggle
in a'chef d'oeuvre of the Dutch
school worth $40,000. The picture was
seized. Experts were called In. They
scraped off the signature of the artist
and found underneath that of Jan
Steen. The Importer had to pay a fine
of 50 per cent?that Is, $20,000?and In
addition $8,000 duty. Three days later,
I however, he sold his Jan Steen (guaranteed
by the United States government)
for the round sum of $50,000.
Thus he made a fair profit, for the original
cost of the picture was $14?70
francs paid to the poor devil of an
artist.?Broadway Magazine.

Room For Improvoment.
One day during the rehearsals of
"The Tempest," which opens with a
storm at sea, all the actors except
Beerbohm Tree knew that a real
storm was raging outside the theater.
Mr. Tree never knows anything
at rehearsal time except that he
wants to get the best possible out of
his company. He was especially anxious
that the opening scene should
be rendered as true to nature as possible,
and time after time he made
the men whose duty it was to suggest
to the audience the ungovernable
fun' of the elements repeat their
efforts. Presently a blinding flash
of lightning, followed by a deafening
peal of thunder, swept through
a narrow window above the scene
dock and illuminated the stage.
"That's better," announced Mr.
Tree, "but I think it could be improved
upon."
"If you please, sir," observed the
master carpenter, "that was a real
one."

In the old days when the Spanish
province of Axagon was n proud and
Independent monarchy the people used
when choosing their king the following
singular form of election:
"We, the freeborn Inhabitants of the
ancient kingdom of Aragon, who are
equal to you, Don Philip, and something
more, elect you to be our king
on condition that you preserve to us
our rights and privileges. If In this
you should fall we own you tor our

Oysttr farming.
Oyster cultivatiA is not an American
idea. Histori tells of the early
Bomans having ^Steht oyster fry on
branches and ?fed oysters quite
successfully, andlrom time to time
this and other methods of cultivation
have been attempted in various
European countries.
Oyster farmingrin America dates
back to the year 1351, when certain
East river (New 'fork) oystermen,
observing that ypung oysters fastened
in great numbers to the shells
of other oysters, started the practice
of shelling their b^ds and the ground
contiguous to t^era just before
spawning time.
It would be hajd to find a better
definition of oyster cultivation than
submarine agriculture?for as the
farmer so must the oysterman prepare,
seed and cultivate his land.
As with the farmer also, eternal
vigilance is the one price of success,
for weeds will grow, waste matter
will accumulate, enemies will lie in
wait.?National Magazine.

A Clock Caao Made of Permits.
A novelty In clockmaking consists
of a timepiece whose case Is made of
English pennies. The coins, of which
there are nlcety-slx, all bear the date
1797 and were beaten out to almost
double their original size and then
riveted together, while the figures were
made of small strips of copper cemented
on to the face.- The clock stands
fourteen inches high and is eight inches
broad at the base. That "time Is
money" Is an adage with which we all
more or less agree, but this is a case
In which the saying might be reversed
and still remain true. The clock Is
owned by a resident of Laurel Bank,
