Freaks of Nature. ? A cat that burked like u dog, recent--1 ly exhibited ut Boston, tops the list j ->f numerous freaks discovered in this ! country. Recently, says the Detroit H Free Press, a giant glow worm 414 r Inches long, was found in the Santa Cruz mountains. When placed in the (‘ -lark u gorgeotrs effect was produced e by the luminous rings circling Its body. B Mammoth fruit is of frequent occurrence, but in Southstake, Bath, Eng6 land, a shocking case of a plant overrating was discovered. It resulted in a seven daisies growing on one aiulk. h i'his freak, scientists said, was caused by feseiation. which means overeating, t White blackbirds, canaries, linnets and sparrows have been seen and exhibite ed. The ocean, too, gives its share of v i-urious freaks. A double-sided flounder, with both sides alike, duplicate 3 fins and a misplaced eye, was epught some months ago. s ~——— Explosive Flour. s For many years It has been known that various forms of dust when mlnL_ gled with air in certain proportions k are capable of producing destructive -xploslous when brought into contact s with flame. This danger sometimes h *xlsts in flour mills, an Instance being 'f the explosion of three flour mills at Minneapolis in 1878. It was then d>-iu-1 onstrated by experiment that two ounces of flour in two cubic feet of •oiifined air, when ignited, would cause y t violent explosion, and It was cul--1 ,‘ulated that the contents pf a flour sack distributed through 4,000 cubic -t feet of air would cause an explosion >• apable of throwing a weight of 2,500 *■ tons to a hejght of 100 feet. An instance is known w here sugar dust iu a 8 -onfectiunery factory caused an exploCon, and in another case dry soap e jroved equally dangerous. —— - { Q Then Died Happy. 8 A friend carried to Durkin the In- ! "Jligence that “Uncle Chet" wanted i- <> see him before he died. But Durf <in was reluctant to go. Age had not 1 withered nor had time rendered stale ils infinite contempt and scorn for his 1 ■dMU-sary. But softened speech and 5 Mending tongue finally won him over. And so he laboriously climbed the hill i .o "Uncle Chet's” home and was ush- . -red into the death chamber. Then he i mid to the wasted form outlined ber leath the coverlet; ' “I’rn here, you ' jlankely, blank, blank, blank; what n blankety, blank, blank do you want ’ if me?” "Unde Chet's” fading eyes ighted. The ghost of a smile chaseal (self over his wan features. “He ! snows me; he knows me,” the dying ; 'unn squeaked. And then he turned sis face to the wall and went to meet , his Maker. A Good Reason. The old man was applying at the eye ' Hospital for some spectacles, and the 'Doctor wus making a test of his eyes, j A card was. fixed on the wall a little listunce away from where the old man was sitting and the doctor asked him: ‘Cun you read that, my man?” "No, dr,” said t: e old man, “I can't.” The lector toH him to go nearer. “Well, can you read it now?” Again the old man replied: "No, sir.” The doctor angrily pulled him forward till his lose almost touched the placard. / Well can you read it now?” "No, sir,” said the old man sadly, shaking his head. “You see, sir, I never learut Io read, Use Glass Sounding Board.
