BELLS TELL RANK OF RIDERS While Lerther, Tbe New found.ami lisht-nueu, ac cording to a consular report, have been attempting to make whale leather a commercial pro !u< t and are said to be meeting with some success. The aver age whale hide covers a surface of about 1,500 square feet. A square foot of the hide weighs from two to five ounces and is priced as high as 50 ( ‘■cents. The leather Is unusually tough and Is said to have great wearing qual- > Ities and may therefore be adapted to the covering of furniture, buggy tops and seats and also automobile uses.

If a Major U In tha Car and a Qanoral Calls ths Former Must Walt For the Latter—All Yield to a Secretary. “Two Bells" Call of High Offioer. The trlalK and tribulations of the conductors on the many different ele vators In the state, war and navy building In Washington, says the Post of that city, are many. It takes more than a common school education to be a success at this Job. To be sure, at all times and in all circumstances the operator must be the personification of politeness, but it Is In his : ouaint- anee with the many different officials and with the hundreds of military and naval officers on duty In the big gran ite building that his knowledge Is vl uable. There is us much etiquette on one of these cars on a busy day as one would find at one of the big dinners at the White House across the way, where the sitting of the guests around the festive lionrd is one of rule or social priority. The approach of tbe secretary of state, of war or of the navy In the direction of one of these lifts is sig naled by all the messengers or war veterans along the line who guard the approaches to the biggest otii4w build ing in the world or watch over Us cor ridors. So, at tbe sound of “three liells” on the push button (a secretary’s call), no matter who is on the elevator, be he an admiral or a general, the lever Is reversed. Down or up It goes, as the indicator reads, the cur door is quick ly and quietly opened and the secre tary Is taken in and carried at once to the floor of his destination, for there is u<» stopping at the floors to take on or let anybody else off. Now comes the time when the keen discretion of the cmductor—his re membrance of faces and his knowl edge of ranks of army and navy offi cers and their precedence—Is brought into play. For instance, a few months ago on the day of a funeral of a general offi cer the building was alive with offi cers in full dress uniform on their way to St. John’s church to attend the ceremonies. A major of cavalry from Fort Myer, Va., having business at the quarter master’s department, was on the ele vator and was being shot up to the third floor when the sharp ringing of “three bells" announced tbe secretary of war at the ground floor. Down went the elevator. The big secretary and the little major saluted, and be fore the salutation was over “two bells" rang, meaning that an officer of high rank wished to ride In a Jiffy. The secretary, of course, was “It,” and accordingly was ushered out at the second floor, first by all means. Then up flew the elevator to the fourth floor to answer the “two bells” to take on a brigadier general who de sired to descend to the street floor. More saluting by the major. Down shot tbe elevator. The brigadier de parted, and tbe major, who had been carried past bis destination twice, now breathed a sigh of relief, but just then “two bells” (an officer’s call) rang again on the second floor, and this time tbe chief of staff, with tbe rank of major general, got aboard, and down the major went again, aalnte and all. After the chief of staff went, tbe ever polite conductor turned to tbe junior officer and, observing his rank and Insignia, said, “Major, what floor, please?” “The third, please," replied the be lated officer, “but tbe next time I want It I’ll walk." This Is a dally occurrence in tbe big granite building, and oftentimes the clerks are carried up and down, up and down, until every officer Is prop erly disposed of liefore they can reach their destination. TO DINE WELL EAT PEANUTS. A CONSPIRACY. Father Discovers Why Ha Was Asked to Go to the May Ssrvicss. “One evening at dinner In the latter part of May." said Mr. Parokeyal, “the wife asked i.ie if I wouldn’t like ♦o go to the May services at chumh that evening- with her, of course. I caught her exchai.y ug a glance aqyoss the table with r eldest boy, a tike % of ten, when sue made that suggcstlOB to me. Therefore, said 1 to myself right away. It was a put up job. “But there 1 was—no way to get out of It. I thought a bit aggrievedly of the comfortable, lolling smokes I’d miss if I went, and I experienced just a teeny touch of resentment over the rather smooth and serene way I was being chiseled out of ’em. But there was no way out. “ ‘Why, certainly, mother, I’ll • go- glad to,’ said 1 as hearty as I dbuld make It. ami then again I caught that significant exchange of glances be tween the boy and his mother, just as if they’d achieved some kind of a vic tory or other. “Well, the boy executed his usual dis appearance soon after dinner, and then, allowing me to bum up Just one cigar, my wife began to hustle and bustle me round, and presently we were on our way to the May services. I had to grin a bit sheepishly as we drew nigh the portal. “ ‘Fine work for you, little lady,’ said f to the boy’s mother. ‘Do you know ow many years it’s been since I at tended May evening services?’ “ ‘Please don’t tell me.’ said she. ‘1 don’t want to hear It. And don’t ever say anything like that before the chil dren. You know how they notice these chance remarks.’ And with that we were Inside the cool, fragrant church and on our way to the pew. “Well, well, what a long stretch of yea s that fragrance took me back across—that mingled fragrance of roses and-drifting Incense. Noticed It tin- minute I set foot within the church first, the smell of the roses that wen- heaped up on the main altar and on the s: » altar and then, as we got In- | side, that other aroma of the incense. | I declare that those two fused fra-1 grances—and they go mighty well to gether If you’ve ever noticed—just clean picked me up and set me back on the road a good thirty years, and a good bit of that road right hard going at that. “The wife and I sat down in the pew, and I was listening to some of the old familiar May evening music, full of dim reminiscences, when the mother gave me a slight nudge. “I turned and looked at her. and her eyes were shining mighty bright, sure enough. And she was nodding in the direction of the altar. I thought that she meant that she wanted me to stop looking around at the decorations and things and to pay attention to what was going on at the altar, and so I followed her gaze. “Well, then I understood the mean ing of that put up job between the boy and his mother. “For there was the boy on tbe altar in surplice and cassock, at the right hand of the priest at that. I under stood, all rigid. “When I turned to her again her eyes were still shining away like as If they’d—but, when It comes to that, I couldn’t see her very well myself, for it all came a-romplng back to me in an instant that she looked just exactly, for all the world, like my own little mother bad looked, away back yonder over the craggy path of tbe years, when she’d seen me diked out in cassock and surplice for the first time —for all tbe world and to the life! Same pbining, starry eyes, same trembling around the corner of the mouth, same speaking pride of the features—the Joy of the mother-wo man when she sees one of her own taking part for the first time In a rite at any kind of shrine! “That’s why she’d got me out of my armchair to attend tbe May evening services. The conspiracy between her and the l>oy stood revealed. But I didn’t feci aggrieved about those sacri fice smokes any longer.”—New York Sun.

Ten tramway tickets, delivered by five different conductors and there- upon immediately Inclosed in steri lized paper envelopes to preserve them from further contamination, have l»een carefully analyzed by Dr. Bos quet of Bordeaux, France, with ghastly results.

Tbe ten tramway ticket broths were severally administered to ten white mice. Eight of these died'Vapidly and tbe remaining two became very 111. Five white rats drank of the potions and all expired. Dr. Busqnet’s con clusion is that four out of five tram way tickets taken at random may transmit dangerous diseases. A Village of Polieans. On the lower course of the Casa- mance river in west Africa exists what a French writer has described as a “village of pelicans.” The birds have been so mercilessly hunted that they avoid tbe presence of man, but in tbe neighborhood of their “village” they show comparatively little fear. There are even native African huts under tbe enormous baobab trees in which tbe birds have established their community. Tbe nests are placed at the ends of tbe branches, live or six in each tree. Dry branches, rudely In terlaced. form an Insecure looking platform covered with a thick layer of down, and there tbe young birds, laughably big and awkward in such a situation, may be seen maintaining an unstable equilibrium, yet never losing their balance. During Many Years’ Residence Among Cherokees Aged Plant Wizard Has Perfected Many New Varieties of Flowers and Vegetables. The Cherokee Indians claim a close rival to Luther Burbank, writes a Col linsville (I. T.) correspondent of tbe Kansas City Star. Tbe achievements of this strange and heretofore unheard of plant wizard among the Indians read like a romance, but the existence of Immense orchards and flower and vegetable gardens proves his service among these people for the past fifty- seven years. David Jaggers, an Englishman by birth and education, Is the greatly la- loved and highly prized man among the Cherokees. He is now in hC eighty-sixth year. Jiis experimental station is situated Just outside the cor porate limits of Collinsville, where he has worked for the past eight yean- with wonderful success. He formerly lived In the Spavinaw hills, in the east ern part of the Cherokee Nation. It was only a few days ago that his ten acre patch of ground was found to contain numerous strange and curious plants and flowers width entitle thC man to a high place in the world <- r plant growing and breeding. Among the number of new vegetc hies produced by “Uncle David,” as the Indians call him. is a perfect cro- . between an ordinary turnip and a cab bage. He lias also an entirely now va riety of onion. ’Idle onion is very much larger than the ordinary \arh t. and >s entirely odorless, l! is sweet and perfectly free from the usual ln*t taste. The prodin t has only recentl- bean found by Mr. Jaggers to be a perfect onion, which he says has co; t him more than twenty years’ labor t<> bring about. It was produced froi.i crossing with a wild variety which grows along the streams in the early springtime. This onion, which is small in its wild state, was successful ly crossed with the Bermuda onion and recrossed many times with tin- m the onion of the Cniteu States. In the “Wizard of Oz Gardens," as the white people call his place, are to be found hundreds of varieties of flow ers and vegetables. The Cherokees have profited by the long and untiring energies of this grand old man. He has ever stood ready to assist the In dians In horticulture and agricultural pursuits. During a recent visit of C. A. McNabb, secretary of the Okla homa board of agriculture, who Is an expert orchardlst, he said The orchards of Cherokee Indians were a revelation to him. He expressed the opinion* that within five years these people would be In a position to teach their pale face brothers the art of peach, pear and apple growing. Dl.scu.wlng the Cherokees and their assistance in his work of scientific plant culture, Mr. Jaggers said: “When I came among these Indians In 1850 they were very friendly and fully alive to their ow’n best interests. They became interested in my work from the very start, and I have always found them ready and willing to pro vide the necessary funds with which to carry on my experiments. They at first regarded me with more or less suspicion, and some of them even be lieved that I was a sort of conjurer, but they soon learned that I was work ing for their welfare, and all doubts about my intentions were dispelled. “Tbe combination turnip and cabbage is the result of nearly twenty-five years’ careful study and much labor. Had it not been for a few bad boys tbe world would still be In Ignorance of tbe vegetable. The boys climbed over my high board fence and In tbe darkness took several and sold them to Mrs. White, proprietor of the Hotel London. The traveling men said the combination was a most delicious dish, and they told several newspaper men about it. This is bow I learned that boys bad entered my garden at night.” A WONDERFUL MAP. Uncle Sam’* Monster Plat Will Be the Biggest Ever Made. More p.itgress than ever wi'.l i e made this year mi tin- great map of tbe country which shows all the st.r- f;.< e linns of the land, every hamlet and every house except where houses stand closely together in towns and cities. New sheets will lie made ibis season in thirty-one states and four territories. Survey parties are in the Held, and the work is being vigorously pushed. No country has ever made such rapid progress with its topographical surveys, area for area, as the T'nited States. Only a little more than a third of our territory Is yet surveyed for the purpose of the big map, but tills is merely because our land sur face, including Alaska. Is nearly as large as the whole of Europe. To make as good a map of our domain as that which wo can now buy of nearly the whole of Europe we shall have to do nearly as much surveying as all the European powers have done to gether. Only four of our states—Mas sachusetts. Rhode Island. Connecticut end New Jersey—have so far been completely mapped, 1 ut the maps of several other states will soon he fin ished. The maps of these states In which tin* national survey is being (arried on \.ith the largest amount of state <oope:atlon ' ill make tin- most rapid progress.

The T'nited States geological survey for several yesrs past lias annually av eraged about .'.o.imiti miles of completed topographic surveying. 'Hie bulletin of the American Geographical society recently said that this is equal to the annual mapping of a state nearly the size of Indiana and greater than Maine or Houtb Carolina. It is an area nearly equal to that of I’ortugal and as great as that of Switzerland luid Denmark combined. Yet it is s<^cely one one- bundredth of the total aYKa of the Unit ed States, Inclusive of Alaska.

Eight hundred persons, Indians and whites, recently attended the annual meeting of the Indian Baptist Mission ary association of Okla.ioma, says tbe Kansas City Star. More than half of tbe Comanche tribe of Indians, over which Quanuh Parker Is chief, belong to tbe Baptist cburcb. Tbe other half are follow’ers of the chief and have as their religion tbe eating of the meecal bean. Quanab sends to old Mexico for his religious drug and then distributes it among bis disciples free of cost.

Twenty five cents a hundred is be ing paid by fanners In some sections of Texas for cotton boll weevils, says an Austin (Tex-) special to tbe New York Times. Boll weevil catching has become quite an industry, and those who are engaged In the work are doing a profitable business. A good boll wee vil hunter is Able to capture at least 2,000 of the insects In a day. Planters who have adopted this method of erad icating tbe (test say it Is well worth tbe cost. A few thousand boll wee vils in sn acre of cotton may cause • loaa of tbe whole crop. Threw Away Millions. “I well remember when I was a boy that our farmers considered tbe seed of cotton a positive nuisance and of no earthly account,” said T. B. Brison of Texas. “Year after year these despised seeds were thrown away by people who were ignorant that at some future day they would add millions of dollars to the value of the cotton crop of the south. I shudder to think of tbe vast sum that was lost to our section ere this was ascertained. Nowadays tbe plant er regards his seeds as a big asset, for they bring him at present prices not less than $12 a ton. All over the south cottonseed oil mills have been put up. all of which are making good money for their owners. They not only get a valuable oil, worth 55 cents a gallon, but after its attraction produce a meal from the kernfl that Is made Into cakes and exported to all the markets of the world. This meal Is one of tbe finest and most nutritious artleles that is used for feeding animals. Even the hulls of tbe seed are valued for fatten ing eattle and bring a good price.”— Washington Herald. It Will Swallow Air Until It Swelle Into Invulnerability. Of fishes a large number are pro tected from hostile attack by a cov ering of prickles. By far the most curious examples are the g]ol*eflshea or “sea hedgehogs” of the Atlantic and Indo-Paeiflc oceans. The extreme length of the globe-fish is something less than two feet.

It never under any circum stances attacks the enemy, yet is al ways ready to receive him in a t uit- able manner should he provoke hostil ities. Let us suppose that a siioai of gl>>l»e- fishes is swimming tranquilly in ths clear waters w hen it is suddenly sur prised by a hungry shark. Of course the little fellows scuttle hither and thither in uncontrollable alarm. But the shark, poising himself upon his powerful tail, leisurely singles out one of tin- l! -oil g 'Jiobt-fi lies and ><-ts out in pursuit. Vow, although the globe- fish is a good swimmer, It is no match for the shark. The chase is in every way unequal and can have but one ending.

The fish that only a moment 1 efore was thin and small begins to g o\v to ter ami stouter until, like the frog In the fable, it seems in danger of burst,ng. It stops inflating itself, however, just In time to avert this catastrophe. But its skin has become as taut as a drum head. and the whole of its body is cov ered with sharp, erect prickles. It has become si sea hedgehog, and the hun gry shark which comes surging through the water dares not touch it, but turns tall in search of something more eata ble. Of course the giobefish was cov ered with prickles all the time, but is periods of tranquillity these He com fortably along its shies, just as do those of the hedgehog. Unlike Its land prototype, however, the sea hedgehog is unprovided with a special muscle for erecting Its prickles, so when danger ihrevens It has recourse to the I.:'—!;;:n: ! method of inflating the whole body with air or with wa ter if it cannot reach the snrfaco quickly.—Scientific American.
