He Was Under Oath.
The late Professor Rowland, o<

most eminent phyBlcist since the days
of Joseph Henry. Among his notable
achievements in the realm of pure
science was the calculation of the
mechanical equivalent of heat and the
use of gratings In spectrum analysis.
I | for which purpose he devised a my
m chine that could cut 40,000 lineyxo
the Inch on a plate of polished mftal.
In the practical application of bis
knowledge he was noted as the in
ventor of t&e multiplex telegraph ap
paratus.

Too Qood a Story to Keep.
This woman was ill. or thought she
was, -which came to the same thing.
Accustomed to the ministrations of
the family physician, she sent ont a
hurry call, but the medico could not
be located for the moment She grew
alck and sicker with every mlhule. and
aa a last resort, another medical man
was sent for, a stranger, but of high
repute.
Before he could respond, the family
i physician turned np and cared for his
patient He waa not told that an
other had been called in, ahd when
the second man arrived, the lady was
10 flustered and nonplused by the
false position in which she found her
self that she sent down word she was
too ill to see the physician? would he
excuse her?
He happened to mention the strange
Incident to the family physician, with
whom he maintains close relations,
and that is how the Btory leaked out
wnen waning up.
Here Is a bit of Information It Trill
I i/ay you to keep ready for reference.
| though yen will perhaps turn up your
nose at It at the first reading: "How
to wake up. and wake up fully and
quickly! Most people prefer not to
wake up In the morning ? that is, they
think of the pleasure there would be
in juBt five minutes' wore of sleep If
oaly that alarm clock had not soutfd
ed (Is warning. Of course you have
to get up, and If there Is really any
thing that will make the job easier
and more pleasant you will want to
know about it. Doctors have long ago
agreed that dullness on first awaken
ing in the morning is due to sluggish
circulation of the blood in the brain.
This can* be quickly overcome by mas
saging ffie neck fn the neighborhood
of the Jugular vein, thus stirring the
?%lood to life and action. Rub your
neck well on both sides and drowsi
ness will leave you. Try it." ? New

River of Natural Ink.
The River of Natural tak Is a curi
osity said to exist la Algeria. It is
caused by the Junction of two streams,
one of which drains a region strongly
impregnated with Iron, while the otlier
flows from a peat-bog ilad holds a
large quantity of gallic add In eola
tion. The union of these two streams
causes the Iron and gallic add to
comblae. and thue produces s genuine
ink.
