Military Maarpte.
Emperor William has lately reviewed
a feathered veteran of the German
army. One of his regiments has a pet
magpie, which Is full of militarism and
very proud of Its parade step. When
the kaiser visited the regimental quar
ters recently he asked for this accom
plished bird. A French Illustrated pa
per publishes a picture of the Incident
There is the kaiser sitting sternly Ip
the saddle and there Is the magpie with
; its martial stride and there are the
officers of the regiment with mingled
anxiety and pride plainly marked on all
i their faces.
Homes Thnt Rotate.
The novel house of Eugene Petit, a
French architect, turns to the sun at
the will of its g^upants. It is mount
ed on a steel platform, which Is rotated
on ball bearings by a pinion geared in
a circular set of teeth. An ordinary
; three-story dwelling can be turned by
! two men. Water, gas and electricity are
| brought In through a central passage
and sewage finds Its exit In a similar
way. Houses of this kind, costing not
more than ten per cent, above the or
dinary, are required for the patlentl
of Dr. Pellegrln, the advocate of heli
otherapy.
Rnthlnir But Envy.
Chicago Insists that typhoid germs
cannot live during the 250-mile trip
to St Louis in the drainage canal, but
We know, remarks the St Louis Re
public, that any germ native of the
Windy City \w sufficiently lusty to
swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly Increase the foreign
typhoid fever business.
