A curious incident in the history of
a free library where the rules forbid
books to be taken from the building,
was furnished by a man who had a
mania for poetry. Ha read everything
In that line, good, bad, indifferent.
His pockets were always laden with
volumes of verse or clippings of
rhyme, and he was finally discovered
purloining poetry by the most un
usual method. For years the library
has subscribed to a periodical which
ait the expiration of each year ia bound
in book form. There irf always a po:m
on the last page of each issue of the
magazine. This man, it was discover
ed, was rem ovir.fr these last leaves
from the bound volume by a unique
device, lie would lay a wet cord in
the book. As .scan as the water had
saturated the leaf it could be noise
lessly drawn from ks fellows aud
folded away in his pockct. In this
way he had mutilated twenty-four
bound volumes before the injury it
self and the personality and method
of the offender were discovered. 11?

How Shark Are Killed.
The engineers iu the British Navy
have a very effective way of hilling
sharks. They seal up a dynamite
cartridge in an empty can, and put
the can inside a large piece of pork.
The pork is thrown overboard cn a
wire which has been connected with
an electric batttery. When the shark
takes the bait, the engineer pre:;sr3
a button, which explodes the cart
ridge and kills tho fish.
Old Age Annuity.
Any one in Denmark who pays the
state six pounds and ten shillings
when .he is twenty-one is entitled to
an annuity of thirteen pounds when
he becomes sixty-five. But if he dies
before that time the state gets ail the
money.

.Medical Value of FIowci-p.
It is now established that flowers
and tho perfumes distilled from thorn
have a salutary influence and consti
tute a thearapeutic agency of high
value, and that residence in a per
fumed atmosphere forms a protec
tion from pulmonary affections and
arrests phthisis. In the town of La
Grasse, France, where the making of
perfumes is largely carried on,
phthisis i3 unknown.
Passing of the Glacier.
According to experts who have
been studying the question, the
death and total extinction of the pre
historic glaciers is only a matter of
time. In the Dauphine Alps seven
teen main glaciers have been und?r
close observation since 1890, Rnd all
have shrunk steadily during the pe
riod, some of them as much as fifty
feet a day.
Animal Immunity to Drugs.
Certain substances which are
d"dly in their effects upon men can
be taken by the brute creation with
Impunty. Horses can take large
doses of antimony, dogs of mercury,
goats of tobacco, mice of hemlock,
and rabbits of irelladona, without in
jiy. On the other hand, dogs and
cuts are much moro susceptible to
the influence of chloroform than
man, and are much sooner killed
by It.
