Those correspondénts i Washington who emerge from conférences’ with the President confused ax to what, if anything, he said, must -look back at the,first interviewer of a President with sincere envy. The first Presidential statement made to & newspaper reporter came from ‘the glad sea waves of the giggling Potomacy Anne. Royall, the “ploneer in modern . journalism,” sat on President 'John Quincy Adams’ clothes on shore and listened to what the bather, clad only in river water and dismay, had to say: There were no “ah’s” and “oh’s.” Whenever she failed to grasp the Sense of a remark, she demanded an explanation. And the President clarified it nobly. The story is told entertainingly in “Seventy-five Years of White House Gossip,” by Edna M. Colman. » Nowadays the correspondents in Washington assemble at the White House at a certain hour of a certain day and park their walking sticks. Then they are admitted to the solemn one. who is glancing through a pack of questions which formally have been sent him. Occasionally he makes a statement. - It is current knowledge that one statement he made a few weeks ago was interpreted as “yes” by half of the reporters, and as “no” by the other half. Nothing like that went with Anne Royall, a woman of many summers. She wanted the President’s idea about the state bank question. Every morning it was his custom to scurry up the Potomac for a s_wi'l'm. Bathing suits were ‘not yet in fashion.’ She followed him one day and sat upon his clothes. Standing chin deep, he replied to her questions. And an old woman scooped the world ‘with the first interview with a President of the United States . . . and a real interview, too.—Richmond-:News-Leader.

Wolves Make Trouble

As a consequence of the recent bitter cold and the heavy snowfalls many wolves and wild boars have descended from the mountains and made their appearance on-the: Carso and in other parts of the Julian Venetia, says a Milan correspondent of the London Times. o One night wolves besieged the station of . Prestane-Mattegna, near Trieste, where the employees barricaded the building and defended themselves. The wolves dsappeared only at dawn., At San Pletro del ‘Oarso two big wild boars were killed. One -of them weighed more than 600 pounds. A number of wild boars appeared in the province of Savona, along the Riviera. Two were killed. In Umbria wolves are reported to be ravaging the countryside. A reward of 400 lire ($l5) for each wolf shot is being offered by various municlpalities. o om

New Musical Device

A Russian musician, 8, Gilev, has invented a new musical instrument which, he hopes, will replace upright and grand planos. The Instrument, which has an ordinary keyboard, is in the form of a box one yard wide and weighing only eight pounds. The usual strings are replaced by a steel comb, and the little hammers by tiny pinchers which toueh upon the teeth of the combs. Russian composers and musicians, including Ippolitov-Ivanev and Avranek, who have played the instrument at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, testify that it is capable of replacing existing planos and that it has a stronger tone and better intonations than the ordinary planos. The new . instrument has been named “Pinchetone.” : -

For Chinese Students Sun Yat-sen university for Chinese students has opened in Moscow with an attendance of 800, 80 béing girls. The university conflnes itself to academic courseg for Chinese who want to study abroad. Some of the students are from Canton and southern China, but most of them are from Mongolla and the north. Inquiries among them to ascertaln thelr proletarian or bourgeols origin showed that nearly all of them came from well-to: do families or had been attracted to Moscow for adventure and entertainment. One peasant's son materfalfzed, but his father has 170 acres and 8¢ cows—plainly a bourgeois in efthes Russia or Chinag. 2o

Residents of English 3 Town “Cultivate” Cats The old nursery rhyme about the :ats of St. Ives Is based on a solid 'oundation, for St. Ives, England is° he cat kingdom, as is evident to any risitor. Cats are encouraged to the imit. By an old resident it is thus ixplained : e : “This Is a very old town—soo years - jome of the houses, feastways their rellars, and parts of the foundation ire. Now, we keep our fishing gear: n the cellars, and there is a terrible lot of rats and mice about in un old place llke this. ‘Well, the rats, and the mice, too, would eat the mets;® they'd eat us out of house and home ! 1 it were not for the cats. “A charactertistic of the cats of St. - [ves is that they do a little fishing for themselves. These sleek, well-fed and exceptionally friendly animals de- : light in a romp over the sand and in dodging the wayes. Afterward they : will watch for Mours by some shal- - low pool for some unsuspecting fish or small crab which ventures from its retreat from a bunch of seaweed or a rock.”—Chicago Journal. - - .:

Common Word “Fiasco” ~ Borrowed From Italy The word “flasco” has become current coin in English speech, though it Is doubtful if many who use it know that it is an Itallan word meaning bottle. Several accounts have been given of why an immedlate faflure is called a bettle. A correspondent of “Notes and Querles” wrote in 1863: “Some years since, Signor V. Plstruccl, professor of Italian at King's college, gave me the following derivation. A gentleman visiting an Itallan glass manufactory was struck with the apparent simplicity of the work, so he asked permission to try his hand at glassblowing, but found ‘the operation more difficult than it looked amnd the only thing he was able to produce was the common flask (flasco). The ‘amused workmen crowded around him, and greeted each successive fallure with laughter and the cry of ‘Altro flascol altro fiascol’” (Another flasco.)—Exchange. :
