GAS TIP CAME AS ACCIDENT “Invention,” If Such It Can Be Called, Is Credited to Eccentric Young ‘Scotsman. _ While practically all inventions baving to do with the rendition of the essential public utility services have romantic histories, none is: more Interesting than that of the gas tip, so common in homes and factories where there is gas illumination, o Thomas Murdock, a Scotchman, who is generally referred to as “the father of the gas industry,” desired to stop the flow of gas which was burning from an open tube during one of his experiments, more than 100 years ago. To accomplish this, he elapped a thimble over the flame, The thimble? had been pierced and the gas ecoming through the hole in smaller volume was brought into contact with a greater proportion of air at the polnt of combustion. This incident Is sdid Itn- huve been responsible for the origin ‘of the ‘gas tip.” 8 Murdock ‘waS a queer young man, addicted to wearing woddén hats. He made a lantern by fixing a tube in the neck of a gas-filled hladder. The sight of him: wandering around at night with the strange.beacon filled the neighborhood with dismay and some people suspeeted him of being in league with Lucifer. . :

* . Beautiful Sea Shells. - It is a very pleasant hobby for those people who live by the sea to gather on suitable shores the delightful sea shells ‘that lle on the beach among the pebbles or glitter béneath' the water. No understanding of conchology 1s necessary to appreciate the beauty of the shells that invite attention. There is none more delightful to look at for perfection of design than the nightcap, which reminds us vividly of the lllustrations to.the storfes of Charles Dickens. The painted top, the Venus, and lace sea ghells are equally attractive. Many artists have derived direct inspiration from these little wonders. The fan tracery in Buropean architecture must have owed its origin to the fan shells, with thelr exquisite markings. The colors frequently seem to have been put on by hand, so geometrically do they encircle the tiny home.—Christlan Science Monltor, : . -

“DEATH AGONIES” PURE MYTH Last lilness May Bz Painful, but the Moment of Dissolution lis : ‘Without Suffering. _b Recent study has led physiologists to the conclusion that the brain may live for 20 minutes or half an hour after a person has apparently “given up the ghost.” : The heart, taken out of the body, will continue to beat for 24 ’hour_s if f stream of oxygzenated blood be kept flowing through it. , s Death from loss of blood s attended by no pain.' The ancients appreclating this fact, commonly had resort ‘to “opening the veins” when they sought to cominit suicide.

Drowning is an easy death, deseribed by persons who have survived the process as “like falling asleep.” --It fs said to be more painful to be resuscitated than to drown. = -

In the “dying hour” the sense of smell fails first, then taste, sight, touch and finally hearing. e The “deatli struggle” or “death agony” 1s an imaginary phenomenon. Convulsive movements usually occur toward the last, but they are mere pervous reactions of which| the dying person is ‘unconscious. A last illness may be painful, but death is painless. One peérson In every 1,000 dles a “pnatural” death—that is to say, of old age. The remaining 999 die of dlsease. |

It often happens in extreme old age that a marked weakening of the mental faculties is observable. Persons thus afflicted are said to be In their “dotage.” They have to be cared for like small children. It is a trouble due to structural disintewration of the brain, which, like any other organ, is liablg to wear out. As & matter of fact the brain. in’ these persons, wore out before {heir bodies.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. ’

Curious Behavior ¢f Yangtze.

~ The Yangtze, the great muddy river of China, is one of the greatest of streams, and its valley is the most densely populated and closely cultivated river basin in the world. It crosses the whole of China in its 2. 000-mile course to the sea. The Yangtze has -a different name in almost every province, and pours a flood of diluted mud through half its valley, tingeing the ocean for more than a hundred 'miles offshore. There are« many interesting features of this most interesting river. : When the snows melt in Tibet and the monsoon pours its annual flood en the watershed, the Yangtze rises 80 or 100 feet at Chungking, 70 or 80 feet at Ichang-rand 40 or 50 feet at Hankau, sweeping in a flerce flood from June to October, and then falling as rapidly as a foot a day.

House in Form of Teapot. Among the oddest of unusual cottages is the queerly shaped little house by the roadside in the parish of Dalderby, near Horncastle, in Lincolnshire, England. It is well known locally as “Teapot Hall.” It has so whimsical an outline, and stands so plainly to be seen of all who pass along this road, that it is almost as famous” in its way as Lincoln Minster itself. The story purporting to account for the name of it is that a merchant-skipper, captain many years ago of one of the once-famous East India clippers, retiring from the sea, built himself this extremely modest dwelling, and fashioned it, in allusive mood, in the shape of a teapot. The model itself is now long forgotten.— Christian ‘Science Monitor,

Commercial Art, “Don’t you think the theater has become sadly commercialized?” “If,” © replied Mr. Stormington Barnes, “by ‘commercialized’” you mean affording opportunities to make large sums of money, I cannot say that I have noticed it personally.” Justifiable Pride. : Robinson—What's that rooster wcrosg the street crowing so for? Roostgers don’t lay eggs. | Cowley—No, but he's done something more wonderful., He just crossed the road without being hit by a fast automobile, e

, Jenny Lind in 1851, Anne Hollingsworth Wharton writes in her book, “In ‘Old Pennsylvania Towns,” that while visiting in Hollidaysburg. friends tcld her of other and more romantic associations, still recalled by old inhabitants who remembered Jenny Lind’'s visit to Blair county in 1851. Mr. Snyder related an incident conneeted with the Swedish singer's stay at the Mountain house, which was situated at a rallroad junction near Hollidaysburg.

While at this hotel the singer engaged a carriafe to take her up the mountain side and on reaching a place from which! there was an extended view of the distant mountains, the valley and the Juniata flowing throngh it, she was so impressed by beauty of the scene that she greeted it with an outburst of song so._ exquisite, said ‘the narrator, that the birds, her only hearers except tl}e coachman, must have felt that a rival of their own kind had joined them. The view of the hill and valley may have' reminded the Swedish nightingale of some scene in her own land, as the song with which she breke in on the stillness of the mountain side was “Home, Sweet Home.” :

. “Erie Canal Souvenir. Nearly 100 years ago, when the Erie canal was opened, De Wift Clinton poured a bucket of water from Lake Erie into New York bay as part of the opening exercises. The keg which was made use of on this occasion was preserved and now reposes in the museum of the New York Historical society. Clinton was really the father of the Erie canal and worked up a sentiment in its favor in the fdce of the greatest opposition. After he had served without any compensation for 15 years on the canal commission he was summarily removed by his political enemies and this act resulted in a boomerang, for a great sympathy was expressed for Clinton, which ultimately resulted in his eleetion as governor. It was then that he brought about the- completion of the canal. ; Natural Question. i - Conductor (to nervous gentleman)Well, you'd better not sit in the observation car. That’s the one that gets the worst of it in an accident. o ' Nervo®s Gentleman—Why the devil “do you bring it along, then?—Stocks holm Kasper. i
