Vail. 1 The world first learned of the .tele phone at the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. On January 20 of that year a 'young college professor of Salem, Mass., Alexander Graham Bell, had ' executed specifications and a claim for an invention embodying an improvement in telegraphy, which -in reality was a telephone, and on-Febru-ary 14 his application for the Amer ican patent was filed at Washington. Tht first telephone message of which there is record was this: "Mr. Watson, come litre, 1 want you." It was sent on M;.n h 10, 1876, by the in ventor from the t'P floor of a Boston boarding house ti i( colleague, Thomas' A. Watson, in a rturn below. Watson heard every word and rushed to ap prise Bell of the fact. Almost 40 years later, on January 15, 1915, Doctor Bell sent this same message to Mr. Wat son, only this time Bell was in New York and Watson in San Francisco.

A soft bluish light has occasionally been seen when a scoop was .scraped across solidly caked sugar In the bin. Loose sugar does not .show this glow nor does granulated. A scientist says that the cause "of .the peculiar light is in the fracturing of the sugar crys tals. Luminescence of this type ac companies the breaking of crystals of a number of different substances, but in none is it more pronounced than In rock candy. To get the best effect place lumps of rock candy -between the jaws of nut crackers or forceps and suddenly crush the crystal to frag ments. If the. room has previously been darkened the flash of light may be seen at a distance of 20 yards or more. and salt water, ana tne m.wri shaped V these, they will look vastly l.-ss momentous .or vastly more so. Seymour Deniing in the Atlantic. Mysophobia. The famous dictionary compiler, Dc. j Samuel Johnson, was impelled to touch and count ; H the palings in fences he passed, and if he thought he had missed one he would start back and repeat lhe nonsensical enumeration. Mysophob'a is an annoying obsession of this sort' and more frequent than supposed, as .th patients try to keep rtipir neculiar behavior from notice. It is a fear of uncleanliness or of contamination.
