THE USE OF COR AC By K Heana as General as It Was Fovmerly. "The beautiful coral necklaces end brooches that were once so fashionable are seldom worn now by women in this country," said a New York dealer in rare and curious ornaments to a Star reporter recently. Thirty yenrs ago the material was to great demanc". for all sorts of articles of personal adornment. At the present day coral Is used largely only in such countries as Abys slain, the Congo, the Cape. India and Ceylon. Siberia, China and Japan. The choiiwst pieces are used for the buttons of Chinese mandarins, or for ornamenting the turbans of rich Mussulmans, while the inferior qualities are sent to less civilized countries, where they are omployed for various purpo8"Coral has been often used as money tn oriental countries, but that use of it is now declining. Barbarous anil soniicirilized peoples employ it largely for ornamenting arrows, lances and pikes, and also for decorating corpses before interment Prices have varied much of late ye.wa, a rapit' decline in value having taken plnce. owing principally to the scarcity of good and the comparative abundance of inferior qualities. "Besides the loss accruing to tln fishermen, the present scarcity of coral is very seriously affecting the large number of 'leople employed in preparing the material for market There has been a great decline In the number of women thus engaged In Leghorn, and the same state of affairs Is evident at Naples and Genoa, the other principal seats of the industry. Nowadays the proportion of inferior quality is so much larger that fewer persons aae required to manipulate the quantity. No machinery or mechanical process ia employed. The workman simply take pieces of coral into ' her hands, -tfuc Erier another, and, according to their thickness, quality and defects, works them into certain forms. Their wages run from 15 cents to 35 cents per day." ' New Implement of Warfare. The greatest benefactor of modern tfmes may be found in a poor Polish chemist named Simon Pavlowski, of Warsaw. This obscure chemist has invented a new gas, which, if used In the battles of the futiiie, will put an em! to the horrible mutilations and terribh deaths on the battlefield. The battles of the future will be the harmless bursting of Pavlowski shells, filled with a gas which, as soon as freed from its gelatine cage, will permeate the atmosphere breathed by the enemy and lull them intoa fifteen hours' sleep, from which they will not awaken until their standards have been seized by tin opposing army and their sleeping bodies removed to a place of safety. The gas Invented by Pavlowski is an

anaesthetic which Is forced Into a sbffll

made of gelatine. When the latter bursts in the ranks of the enemy this

gas escapes, rendering every soldier in

the immediate vicinity soothingly unconscious for a long time, but with no

other injury than to inenpacitate him for the time from working against tbi opposing army. New York World.

DEWEY 3 A DISCIPLINARIAN. His Method of ftabduing Pome Refractory Sailors. "I w:s with Commodore Dewey when he was the executive officer of the Colorado." mild a financier, "and I remember one incident which snows the iiianner of man he is. We had a fine crew, some of them as powerful as I ever saw. Four or five of them went ashore one day and came back fighting drunk. "Three of them were men who would singly have been more than a mutch in strength for John L. Sullivan. The order was given to put them in irons, and it was found impossible to carry out the order, for the men were dangerous.

! Dewey was notified of the situation. ! He was writing a letter In his room at j the' time. I "Ho went to the place where these giants were and he told them to :om i out and submit to the Irons. They did I not stir. Then Dewey said quietly lo i an orderly: 'Bring me my revolvers.' ! And when lie had his pistols he again

called upon the men to come out and they did not move. Then he said: "I am going to count three; If you are not out here with your hands held up on Hie third count you won't come out of that place alive.' "He counted one, then he cocked the revolvers, and he counted two. We all expected to hear the report for we knew that Dewey meant what be said. The men knew it, too. They stepped out Just in time to save their lives and held up their hands, and they had been partially sobered by their fright and the moral effect of Dewey's glance). "One of thm a'd afterward that when lie saw Dewey's eyes he knew that he would either be a dead jnckey In a moment or he would have to yield, and wueu the Irons were put upon liliu lie was as sober as he ever was in his life. Dewey went back to his room and finished the letter he was writing.

A Different Case. "tittle boy!" exclaimed the man who bad just turned the corner, "don't you know it's wrong for you to match penales?" "I ain't matchln' pennies," he answered, as he surrendered a coin to his antagonist "I'm jest tryin' to."

lisndor's fircen Eye. Walter Savage I-andor insisted that green eyes were the most "wonderful" he always pronounced the word wits a double o. In support of his argument he told the following story: "It so happened that when I was a young man at Venice I was standing in tlw doorway of the Cafe Florlan one day, watching the pigeons on the Piazza San Marco, when an old gentleman rushed up to me and said: 'Pardon me, sir, but will you allow me to look into your eyes? Ah, I thought so. Sir, you have green eyes. I never saw but one pair before, and they belonged to the late Empress Catherine if Russia; they were the most wonderfully beautiful eyes In the world.' I have reason," continued Mr. Landor, 'to remember this, for while the old wntleman was examining my eyes I had my pocket picked." A Bobbins Wind. A curious Instance of the effect of the shape of the ground upon the wind blowing over It was recently noted by Mons. Batut as he was experimenting with kites in France. When a north wind floated the kite the latter kept its balance easily, but when the wind came from the south or southeast the

kite pitched and bobbed in a very irregular manner. The explanation was furnished by the character of the surface over which the wind had passed. Coming from the north it had a plain country to blow over; but coming from the south and southeast It passed across broken hills, which set it into Irregular puffs and undulations.

Book-Maklnir In the Middle Ares, It required a tbnii of groat parts to be a successful publisher at that time, as much as or even more than It does to-day. Such anUnstitution, for example, as the Soi-bonm- or University of Paris required the highest guarantees of character, capital and literary capacity in the licensed Itookseller. He must be an adept in nil the knowledge and science of the prriod. as well as perfectly skilled in the mechanical tncils of his business. The university. lo. which was always in close tonli with the church, even when its studies litul begun to broaden, exercised a jealous censorship, lest some religious heresy should creep in.; Whenever an ern;f of this or even of a more trivial sort was found the transcripts were burned and the bookseller heavily lined. Sometimes his privileges might be entirely revoked, Indeed; and he himself Imprisoned. The bookseller could not even fix n price! on his own products. Four of the guild in Paris, for example, were sworn! as appraisers by the authorities of tbe Sorboune to fix tinselling value of it Itoolc. mm any deviation from this wits a penal offense. To students the price was fixed at twothirds of the charge asked of the general purchaser. I The booksellers could not dispose of their entire stock and trade without th license of the university, which must also approve the purchaser. As an additional help to students the Sorbonnc in the middle of the fourteen (h century framed a law compelling all booksellers to keep books to lend otlt on hire, and tills example was Imitated at Toulouse, Hologna, Vienna and Oxford. In this way circulating' libraries were established In tlu middle ages. Harper's Uound Table.

Bears of British Columbia. Bears black, brown, and grizzlyare distributed throughout the entire country, and may be met at any moment; but to this hunter that fr.otneiii seldom arrives, although, curiously enough, he appears, according to report, to be the only class of man who dares venture out without being attacked or chased by an infuriated grizzly, Certainly, considering how plentiful bears are. they have a surprising knack of keeping out of sight. There exists ill Alaska a huge bear, larger far than suiy grizzly, which also probably Inhabits the western boundary of British Columbia, but which lias not yet been sufficiently studied for classification; also another, still rarer, and, up to the present, almost unknown, will probably prove a distinct variety; it carries the most 'aeautiful slate and white colored fur. and Is about the size of a black bear-

Another Point of Viow. "There's altogether too much liberty allowed la this country. Look at our public streets. There's no safety there for man or beast." "I thougat the streets were full of safeties. P.ut what's tie matter now?" "Our pet dog went tut in the roadway, where he has a perfect right to be, and just because he wouldn't get out of the way quick enough to oblige a desperate wheelman he was run over and had his tail half amputated. It's an outrage and somebody will have to pay for it" "What are you going to do about it?" "I'm going to sue the fellow who ran over him." "Where is he?" "He's still In the hospital." Cleveland Plain Dealor.

The Water Iilly. Almost everybody has observed the strange characteristics of tie water lily bud opening its petals a sunrise and closing them again at sunset, it was for this reason mainly tluit the ancients held the water lily sacr sl to the sun. Pliny says: "It is reported 'hat in the Euphrates the (lower o;' ilie lotus plunges Into the water at night, remaining there until midnight and to such a depth that it cannot 1 e reached with the hand. After tnli. niirlit it begins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon, the f'.o.ver also rises nlwvo the water, expands and raises itself some distance al'ove the element ill which it grows."
