Lady Currie, well known to English •letters under her pen name of Violet Fane, told Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, Otte of her American friends, an anthe ing incident of her lie in Constantin: ople when her hueband, IATed Currie, was ambassador to the Sublime Porte. She was a rapid, and omnivorous read- er, and Lord Currie often trusted her to read and report on. books -with which otherwise Ile would have had to make personal acquaintance. Much precious time was thus saved for a busy diplomat, and the task was en- tirely congenial to his eompetent unof- ficial reader. One day he handed her a new biography of ehe Sultan, A.bdul Namid, just, published in England. A short tine afterwards. he asked her' whether it was intereeting.

"Ale!" said the Sultan, "I should like to see that book!" "You shall have my cony," the polite ainbassador hastened to assure him. At their departure from the palaee the Sultan's% weeds in nesponse to their leave-taking were a reminder: "I will send for' the book in the morning."

A French itientist has discovered a means of extracting and harnessing the electricity in trees. He connected a .00pper plate attached to a tree, and another plate hurled in the -earth, with a`galvanometer, a delicate instrument whieh measures, the strength of weak currents of electricity, and obtained a record of the current passing through the tree. With three trees connected in the same way the power was ,increased, the experiment, with alike result, be- ing oontinued until twenty trees, were linked up in this fashion, ' The ecientist then placed two cop- per plates in the earth, about six _feet apart, and with the cuerent thus ob- tained lighted a small electric lamp. Whether, the idea, can be extended to be commercially worth while has yet to be determined. All He <Wanted.
