The Monster Dlplodoena.
Dr. Andrew Wilson speaks of that huge extinct reptile, the diplodocus, whose bones Andrew Carnegie presented to the South Kensington museum in London as a "dragon." "If we could imagine it restored," says Dr. Wilson, "we should be tempted to imagrne that the dragon legends of old had some foundation in fact. As a rule, these creatures—dinosaurs, as they are called —were huge, bulky animals. Mr. Carnegie's specimen has been estimated to have possessed a length in life of about seventy feet. The diplodocus, with regard to its personal characteristics, appears to have possessed a head of very moderate size indeed, considered relatively to the animal's bulk. Its jaws are weak, and its teeth are borne by the front of the jaws only. .That it fed on soft vegetable matter would therefore appear to be ao inference fairly warranted by the facts, yet, like the vegetarian elephant, it may have been capable of lierce onslaughts enough in its day. To feed on plants is not always commensurate with mildness of temper, as every vicious horse testifies. We may furti believe that the diplodocus, if not. ii swimmer, at least had aquatic habits.
Makiug: Marbles.
Germany maintains a monopoly of making stone marbles in spite of various efforts made to wrest the trade away. In the marble and agate quarries there are innumerable chips and bits of stone from the butting of t! large blocks, and this refuse is broken into cubes about the size of a marble An experienced worker produces these cubes of stone at an incredible speed and with remarkable uniformity. When about a bushel are ready they are dropped between a grooved bedstone and a revolving runner. Water is kept constantly supplied, and in half an hour the stones are turned out perfect spheres. With abundant water power the cost is slight, as a couple of men can keep a dozen stones supplied and the raw material costs nothing at all. In other countries the cost of preparing the blanks eats up the profits, and competition with the German made product is impossible.
The Highest Stairway.
For the ascent of Mount Omi, on the borderland between western China and the Tibetan .plateau, there is an artificial staircase consisting of 20,000 steps cut in slippery limestone. Who made these steps is largely a matter of sur mise, but they were probably formed by religious enthusiasts to provide a means of access from the hot plains, out of which the mountain mass rises abruptly to the heights, 5,000 to 11,000 feet above, among which the Buddhist abbey of Omi embodies some of the holiest traditions of the religion professed by" its inmates. Anyhow, the staircase Is there, and by it many pilgrims attain to the shrine as well as the very few Europeans who have ever visited this singular spot.
Caff
Buttons.
"Your cuff buttons are not properly worn," said a jeweler to one of his customers. 'What's the matter with them? Haven't I got them in my cuffs?" "Yes," replied the jeweler, "but you are like a great many other people you are not a close observer You have the little gold piece at one end of each link placed so that in one cuff it is toward your body and in the other away from you. The small end of the link should in every case be toward you. Yet nine men out of ten pay no attention to this detail. The careful dresser never has the small end of a link button on the far side of the cuff."—Philadelphia Record.
Woolen and Worsted.
If a piece of woolen cloth is exam ined through a microscope, the two yarns—warp and weft—are found to be so crossed and closely matted together as to be indistinguishable, but in a piece of worsted material you can easily distinguish them. This is due to the fact that woolen goods are made from short stapled carded wools, whose fibers in the process of carding have been made to overlap each other so as to become closely matted or felted, while worsted goods are made from long stapled wools that have been carded and then combed till the fibers 11» as straight and parallel as possible.
A "Wild Hair."
A
"wild hair" Is the most annoying freak of nature a man can be afflicted with. It grows In from the eyelid instead of out and, constantly brushing against the eyeball, sometimes causes an irritation that results in a loss of sight. To pull it out gives only temporary relief, since in a few weeks it comes back, as well grown and strong as ever. The only way to kill it is to destroy the sac from which It springs. This is done by means of the electric needle.
Her Sick Friend.
Mamma—Ethel, where have you been all this time? Ethel—Sitting up with a sick friend. Mamma—Nonsense! I believe you've been in the parlor all evening with that Mr. Softleigh. Ethel—Well, ma, he's lovesick.—Philadelphia Ledger.

THE HORRIBLE CRIME.
Of
Baby Farming Fraud in the Capital City.
Fortunately there are very few people in a community like this who understand the extent of the crime of baby farming and only recently has public attention been called to its preve lence in the capital city. On the subject the Sunday Star Sc.yF:
Spurred on by the statement of a women that she had given away 150 unfortunate babies, taken from lying in hospitals, the Board of Children's Guardians, assisted by the Board of State Charities and Correction, has taken up an investigation of the "baby farming" which it is said is carried on in this city.
Those interested in making the investigation have announced that it will cover the widest scope and it is expected that wholesale prosecutions will result. It is thought that convictions of persons impli cated will be made possible through the Juvenile Court law-
It is the expectation of the Investigating Committee to finu the places where the hundredof babies have been placed and to make a thorough investigntion of each child's surrounding sj Where it is found that sue babies have not proper homes proceedings will be taken to gain possession of the babies and they will then be placed in good homes.
To what extent baby farming is being conducted in this city can only be conjectured. It is beieived that hundreds of babies from the lying-in hospitals have been given away in the majoriof instances, without the least consideration as to the home where the child is placed.
The Investigation Committee has already gained information as to the location of twelve lying-in hospitals and each one of these will receive thorough investigation. An effort will be made to find where the babies from each of these hospitals iiave been placed that further investigations may follow.?
The inquiry has been started by a case in Juvenile Court, where it was shown that one unfortunate child had been placed in an unfit home. Low Fares to Frankfort, Ind., Reunion

Wheat In California.
Twenty years ago the average yield of wheat for California and the San Joaquin valley waB forty bushels to the acre. Now a yield of twenty bushels is considered an exceptionally good crop. The millers of the state complain of a marked deterioration in the quality of the wheat now grown. The gluten Content is becoming more starchy. The land used for the production of heat has been used for thp: same crop since Americans have been In Oaiiramui
