OLD BOSSY DOTED ON FISH

Cow Feasts on Angler’s Prize Salmon and Tops Off Lunch With Trout He Flung at Her. The angler could cast a fly, and had caught trout In the soath of England, but had never so much as seen a salmon river. Great was his joy, therefore, when one day he received an In--vltatlon to flsh one of the most famous spring saln*i rivers In the north of Scotland, relates the Field. In the very first cast that he tried he hooked and landed his first tenpounder. The first salmon is always the most perfect and beautiful that ever was seen, and the angler reflected that if he carried his flsh In the bag all day it would dry and lose its lovely sheen. On the top of the brae there was a marshy nook that would answer his purpose admirably. He deposited his treasure in this nest and, having covered it with a thick layer of rushes, went on his way. The rest of the day he caught nothing except a half-pound trout. Still he was very happy and content as he turned homeward, and whistled merrily as he approached the marshy nook. But there he found a Highland cow in the act of consuming his salmon, of which little remained except the head and the tall. In his anger he flung the trout savagely at the cow, hitting her fully in the face; but, so far from taking offense, she seemed rather to think that he had brought her a bonne bouche whereivlth to complete the feast, for, after gazing at him for a moment with the Innocent, confiding eyes of her kind, she contentedly swallowed the trout.

WARRED ON DEATH PENALTY

Sir Samuel Romilly, British Statesman, First to Bring End to Capital Punishment Statutes. The remarkable career of Sir Samuel Romilly, the British statesman, came to a tragic end 99 years ago. He was the first influential man In England to attempt to bring about the abolition of capital punishment, notes a London correspondent. When he entered public life the English statutes punished with death nearly 300 crimes, ranging from murder and treason down to keeping company with gypsies. Romilly, who was of French descent, launched an agitation against these codfes,. and in 1808 he succeeded in repealing the Elizabethan statute which made it a capital offense to steal privately from the person of another. From that time until his death he waged war unceasingly against these cruel statutes, renewing his motions session after session; and although he failed, he qteared the way for the success of others who kept up the agitation. Romilly was devoted to his wife, and when she died, October 29, 1818, the philanthropist fqjl into a delirium of grief. Four days later his grief had so preyed on his mind that he jvent mad and killed himself.

Artificial Wood From Leaves.

Artificial wood from dried leaves—especially those of oak, beech or birch —ls a new product, reported from Austria, using even cheaper waste material than the sawdust already similarly utilised. The leaves are finely ground, mixed with a suitable binder, shaped In molds under a pressure of 850 atmospheres, and dried by heat while still under pressure. The best binder is stated to be viscose, though this may be strengthened by the addition of a little glue, water-glass, casein, rosin, or other substartce. The ground leaves are boiled with soda lye before mixing with the solution of visccse; and the viscose may be prepared from a portion of the leaf powder by treating with soda lye and then with carbon disulphide. Coloring matter may be added to the leaf powder or to the pasty mixture. Some filler may be desirable for special purposes, and the materials suitable include asbestos, infusorial earth, wood flour and peat flour.
