Bnc hange, SUPS IN WRITING. Curious Blunders Made by Reporters and Co-respondents. Every otve in awhile some school teacher comes forward with a list of ludicrous mistakes made In composi? tion by her Infant charges. The fol lowing laughable ??breaks'* were not made by school children, but by news paper re|s?rters and correspondents Writing is their business, but they often make ridiculous mistakes in the haste of "catching an edition." In a story about a mad dog scare on 8taten Island the reporter wrote. "Fo llcemau Jones drove tlie dog into am hush and killed it." The head of a prominent Wall street house, hi telling about the action of the directors of a certain company, was quoted as saying. "It cauie like a cannon ball out of a clear sky." The report of the result of a damage suit: "Carmlnl Camsinl was awarded a verdict of $2.000 for injuries reced? ed by the Jury from the Erie Railroad company." This from a Brooklyn reporter: "He tried to end his life by suicide." This one might have been due to an error In typewriting: "The girl was at dilated with typhoid fever." A correspondent in a small town on Long Island, evidently laboring under great excitement, wired. "Mrs OoOCge K Rlank was the heroine of the hoio caust." (She played a garden hose em a burning barti.i In further describing the blaze he said. "The Hames swept Into furious environment."?New York World How Eggs Ars Hatched In China.

Yourh's Companion. KING OF THE METALS. The Importance of Iron to the Elec? trical Industry. The very root of the electrical Indtl ? try is iron. Without iron it is doubt? ful if the larger generators and the mighty motors could be built, for the powerful magnets upon which these inventions depend for their power are all made of soft iron either iu the fortu of thin plates or long wires cov gfod with insulation. Nearly every one is familiar with the common horseshoe muguet, which is but a piece of 6teel bent in the shape of a horseshoe and charged with magnetism. When a steel bar of this shape is rubbed against another mag? net it is "charged" and will remain so 1 for a long time. The magnets used in ] electrical machinery are of the Indue tion type?that Is, the magnetism van? ishes Just as soon us the current is taken away from them. If you wind a long Insulated wire tig ;tly around a 1 soft iron core and send through this 1 wire a weak current of electricity the 1 core will be instantly possessed of strong magnetic qualities. This fact Is the basis of all electric motors and generators. The field coils are usually : made of a soft irou core wound with yards and yards of insulated wire When the current is sent through this \ wire the soft iron core is turned into a powerful magnet, and this magnetic power is used to drive motors or to generate more electricity?

How many elerki measure up to the standard of the young bookkeeper In this story from Human Life? He wns employed in the passenger department of a great railroad. It was just a little before lunch Some of the clerks were putting on their coats, some leaving for the washroom, some consulting the clock; tome were still busy Suddenly the "boss" entered. He glanced about him and then approached the young bookkeeper. "What time Is It?" he asked. The young man kept on figuring, and the boss put a hand on his dealt and repeated the question. Instantly the other looked tip. sur? prised to see the chief at his elbow "1 beg your pardon, were you speak? ing to me?" he asked. "Merely Inquired the time-that was all." said the other.

For rapidity of composition the prize among novelists must be awarded to Alexandre Dumas, who died with over 8,000 books to his credit, in all of which he had some share. According to Mr. Arthur F. Davidson, one of his blog raphers, he often declared that when once he had mapped out In his mind the scheme of a novel or a play the work was practically accomplished, since the mere writing of it presented no difficulty and could be performed as fast as the pen could travel. Some one disputed this: the result was a wager. Dumas had In his head the plan of the "Chevalier de la Maison Rouge." of which he had not yet written a word, and he made a bet of 100 looll that he would write the first volume of the novel in seventy-two hours. The volume was to be formed by seventy five large foolscap pages, e?teh page containing forty-five lines and each line fifty letters. In sixty-six hours Duma? had done the work in his fair, flowing hand, disfigured by no eras ons ?and fhe bet was won with six tours to spare ?London Chrouicle. Danced In Court. An unusual scene was once witness? ed in a French law court, the civil tribunal at Nantes. The proprietor of a local theater had engaged a young lady dancer, whose performances at rehearsals did not come up to his ex pectatious. He therefore would not let her appear, and the fair dancer took action against him for breach of contract. The defendant alleged that she had not even learned the first steps of her art. and. here being a plain issue, the judge determined to decide for himself. A space was accordingly forthwith cleared on the floor of the court, and in these unusual surround ings the young lady duly went through her steps and pirouettlngs. in the re? sult the judge felt justified in certify? ing that she was quite an expert dan? cer and decided the case in her favor. Henceforth she advertised herself as the only dancer iu the country with a legal certificate of proticieucy.?Lon? don Tit-Rits. Poets and Dogs. Foets have always loved dogs.
