The Way the Plates Are Removed From the Animal. The comb of tortoise shell has a very pale and translm ent y ellow, the only really valuable kind of shell. “Many people think tills pale, unmottled shell the cheaper kind," the dealer said "Do you know why? Because the imitations are all made like this. “That Is one vulgar error about shell. Another is that the tortoise Is killed to get its shell casing. That is as absurd an error as It would be to say a sheep was killed to get its wool. “What is done Is this: The tishermen. having caught a tortoise, tie him and then cover his hack with dry grass and leaves. They set tire to this stuff, it burns slowly, and the heat causes the thirteen plates of the shell to loosen at the joints. With a knife the plates are pried off, and afterward the tortoise is set free. The base, or root, of his shell is intact and will grow again. If tortoises were killed to get their shell they would long since have become extinct. “No, no. Every tortoise is, as It were, a farm a shell farm. Fishermen catch him regularly and with heat and a kuife gently remove his shell."— New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.

COLORS IN THE OCEAN.

Various Causes For the Different Tints of the Water. Sky and cloud colors are often reflected in the sea, but Just us the air lias its sunset glory so water lias its changing lints quile apart from mere reflection. Olive and brown lines in the waves off the const come from the muddy sediment washed from the shore, as blues arise chiefly from reflected sky. Bul there are many other colors in the ocean. On almost every long voyage at sea spots of reddish brown color are noticed at one time or another. When a few drops of the discolored water are examined under a mlcros ope my riads of minute cylinder shape I algae are seen, some separate, some Joined together in scores. Il Is this organism sometimes called “sea sawdust" which has given the name to the Red mm. although il also abounds in other waters K.ineilmes the water far from land will be seen to be of a choeolale hue for an extent of several miles, and this is caused by millions upon millions of minute one cell ed animals which lash themselves along, each on his erratic individual course, by menus of the linest of hairlike threads of cilia. Feursou's. Tho Treces of the Beasts. Ou every side in the Malay wilds the traces of the beasts which here live as Scheduled, as safe from molestation. as ilid their ancestors In preAdnmite days—are \isible on tree trunk, on beaten game path and ou the yielding clay at Hie drinking places by the hurrying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an elephant lias rubbed Ills itching back against the rough hark of a tree, and, see, coarse hairs are still slicking in the hardened day. There a long, sharp scratch repeated at regular Intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here, again, is the pad mark of a tiger barely au hour old. and the pitted tracks of deer of nil sizes and varieties surround the deeply punched holes which are the footsteps of an elephant. — Cornhlll Magazine. Settled the Sign. When William M. Evurts was secretary of stale a new elevator man hud been employed In the department who dhl not know Mr. Evurts by sight. In his car was a conspicuous sign to the effect that by order of the secretary of state smoking was prohibited. Oue day Mr. Evurts boarded the car in company with a famous senator, the latter smoking a cigar. The new man promptly touched the smoker on the elbow and said, pointing at the notice, "Can’t you read that sign?” Mr. Evurts promptly tore down the offending notice and, turning to the elevator man, said: “What sigu? I don’t see any.” The attendant, suspecting something, w isely held his peace, but he followed the pair out and asked the guard at the door who the chap with the large head was. The guard told him.

I The World Moves On; ^ X ✓ XXXXVXVXXX X XX X X XX X’VXVX'- XV X ^ [Copyright, 1SUS, by American Pleas Asso- * elution.] When it was announced that Thornton Thorne Ids real name was Timothy Jenkins was to leave the stage to engage In commercial pursuits, not only the theatrical profession, but al true lovers of the play, stood agog. Thorne, though but twenty-three years old, had risen to a high rank as an actor. And now, on the very threshold of a brilliant career, lie was to sink out of sight in trade. No reason was given for this remarkable step, which was known only to Thorne himself and one other. He loved a strict meinl»er of the Presbyterian church, and she would not marry an actor. Forced to make u choice between her and his profession, he chose her. Thorne resumed the name of Jenkins, married and went to Australia, where he accumulated a fair fortune. Thirty years after his marriage lie re turned to Amerii-a on business, leaving his wife and family lu Melbourne. On the steamer he met “. company of players, from whom he borrowed a number of printed plays with which to amuse himself on the voyage. Among them wire several by which lie had won fame. Before Hie voyage was over he was eager to act. This relapse troubled him. Ills wife had lived in fear of it all their married life and had parted with him reluctantly. fearing that when away from her influence he might be tempted to return to tin* stage. True, she hud lost her prejudice against it, but considered that any such return would bo unwise. Her husband’s business needed bis attention, and the roving life of an actor would break tip their home. For lids reason she had kept him away from the theater. • But the more Jenkins read plays the more he became fasriuntc-1 with Ids former life. Judging from some of those that had boeu written siiue lie left tlie boards, lie was of opinion that playwrights were dying out. At any rale, he di I not consider their effort.equal to those of former days. He found Mule or nothing dramatic in any of them and pronounced them dull and talky. When Jenkins reached America he : i.. posters iiunonueing that certain managers would “present” certain the atrieal stars. Hu wonden I if talent hud sunk so low that the most prum Incut players must he presented by some man who couldn't himself lake a walking part. In New York he found three theaters to oue that existed when he left the country. Perhaps competition was killing the business. On the evening of Ids arrival at New York a man entered ids hotel whose face was familiar to him. ’’Aren’t you Tom Abercrombie?” “Yes, but you have the advantage of me.” “Thornton Thorne." "You don’t mean It! Haven’t seen you since you were playing Hiinilct here at Walluck’s.” "I wish I were playing there now.” “You couldn’t; it’s torn down. But" his eye suddenly lighted—“1 was a ticket seller when 1 knew you. Now I run seven theaters. I have T la inlet’ on Hiis very night at one of them, and the Dane is in lied with grip. How would you like to try It?" There was a terrible struggle in the breast of Mr. Jenkins, and he fell before a desire to again he Hamlet. He would show these degenerate people the real Dane. He knew the part - he had .never forgotten it- no need for rehearsal. He would lie ready at the rise of the curtain. What a pleasure to galvanize an audience worn out with poor plays niul poor acting! He found a meager audience, but was told that Shakespeare had gone much out of fashion with the average theater goer. Nevertheless there were those in the theater who loved Hamlet. When lie began his lines people looked surprised. He soon saw that he must win his audience, something he had not been obliged to do in bygone days. At the end of the first act the manager approached him and said: “Great Scott, man! Your Hamlet has grown a quarter of a century older.” “How?” “Don’t kuow, but there's some thing musty about it. Nobody does it that way now.” Jenkins went back for the second act puzzled. In the third he made a supreme effort. All was of no avail. No one in the theater hud ever seen Hamlet act that way, and no one wanted to view any such |»erformauce. Before the piny was tlnished the theater was nearly empty. The star staggered to the greenroom, where the manager braced him with a glass of grog. Was It not Jenkins instead of the audience that needed to be galvanized? The next night the manager took the fallen star the rounds of the theaters. In nearly all the plays ho saw was something apropos to the times, having, he thought, no place on the stage, and most of them “rotten." ns he expressed It, though he noticed au absence of the coarse jokes of the olden time. But he was surprised to see that the comics wherein most of the raiment of the performing women hud been dropped wore the favorites. Jenkins returned to his family cured of his desire for the stage, lie told Ids wife that Shakespeare and Sheridan had been turned over and were now at the bottom of the heap instead of the top. “They call these things plays.” he added, “hut for my part I consider the liest of them talks on modern ideas, while the rest are only fitted to show the newest fashions lit dress.” “My dear." replied his wife, “we have grown old.” CTIALNCEY WAR DWELL.

A ROYAL FUNERAL Strange Ceremonies That Mark the Burial of a Spanish King. Strange and a'.oust weird Is the eer- i emouial which accompanies the burial | of Spanish kings. The pautheou, or | royal tomb, is at the palace of the ] Escurlal, situated 3,000 feet above the level of the sea and some distance ; from the capital. Only kings, queens lud mothers of kings are buried there, the coffins of the kings lying on oue llde, those of the queens on the other. After lying in state for several days lu the throne room lu Madrid uu euor tnous procession is formed, accompanying the body to the Escurlal. A halt Is made on the way, and the corpse rests there for one night. In the morning the lord high chamberlain stands at the side of the coffin and says lu loud tones, "Is your majesty pleased to proceed on your journey?" After a short silence the procession moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These doors are never opened except to admit a royal personage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the remains is al Inst placed In the vault the chnmlK-rlnin unlocks it and, kneeling down, calls with a loud voice: "Senor! Senor! Senor!" After a solenm pause he cries again: ‘Tils majesty docs not reply! Then It Is true, the king Is dead!” He then locks the coffin, gives the key to the prior and, taking his staff of office, breaks it in pieces and flings them at the casket. The booming of the guns and the tolling of bells announce to the nation that the king has gone to his final resting place. QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES. Mads of Adobe In Bolivia—Growing Trees Used In Africa. The most original telegraph line lu the world once extended from the capital of Bolivia, La Buz, to the town of Oruro. lu this part of Bolivia there are no growing trees, ami wood Is so | difficult to tind that even the ordinary 1 household furniture of the natives Is Invariably made not of wood, hat of 1 dried mud or adobe. So when the war broke out between Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line became urgent it was adobe that was chosen for the queerest telegraph poles lu existence. These pillars were built ou stone foundations and measured about five feet square at the base, with a height of about fifteen feet. They were placed at intervals of about 301 feet and thus held the wire at a height sufficient to clear the only animals of tho country, the Hama and the donkey. The total length of the line was 150 miles. Among other curious telegraph lines Is the growing pole line erected in Uganda by an English engineer, who could not find any dead wood which would withstand the white ants and hit upon the idea of transporting growing hark cloth trees to the side of the roads and using them as poles. In the Dutch East Indies growing trees are turned to account also, but there u wire Is stretched across the road between the trees ou either side, and the insulator Is suspended In Its middle, and the line is thus over the road and clear from vegetation.—Chicago Tribune
