CATERING TO AMERICANS.
London Tradesmen Rake in Millions of
Our Dollars Every Year.
It is estimated that Americans every
year in London distribute nearly twen-
ty-five million dollars among the trades-
people there. They nearly always pay
cash and are charged good prices.
Naturally, then, says the New York
Advertiser, the London tradesmen have
become thoroughly awakened to the
importance of catering to this trade,
and they are using all manner of means
to attract it. In nearly all the shops
on the Strand, Regent street, Oxford
street and other thoroughfares of that
character, where prices are given and
articles are displayed in the windows,
the United States dollar mark is used
in conjunction with the English pound
mark. One of the big dry goods stores
in Oxford street created quite a com-
motion among the Americans by dis-
playing a very large American flag
from their flagpost. As I happened to
pass by I saw about two hundred peo-
ple looking reverently at the stars and
stripes. The size of this crowd not only
demonstrated the clever move of the
shopkeeper, but the large number of
Americans in London, that so many of
them could be attracted about the same
time and at the same place by this
means. Naturally they all wondered
what it meant, and went into the shop
in pursuit of knowledge. They were
given to understand that it was in the
nature of a personal compliment, and
they feel it now their patriotic duty to
believe that this is the greatest shop in
London. Other shopkeepers are sure
to discover the cleverness of this scheme
and follow the example. It may be-
come contagious. If it does, the Amer-
ican flag will be more familiar in Lon-
don than in New York.

BIG BRAINS.
Mammoth Mental Machinery of Bismarck,
Byron and Others.
‘ The famous and fitlv named German
sculptor, Schaper, who executed the
statue of Bismarck at Cologne, was
privileged to be on more familiar terms
than anybody now living, probably,
with his sitter’s head. He had that
head in his hands for days, says the
New York Journal, and surveyed and
measured, and manipulated it to his
heart’s content. The results of his ob-
servations and mensuratjons he sub-
sequently placed at the disposal of
science, and science has proceeded to
institute comparisons between the
prince’s head and others-not only in
point of size, but in point of brain
weight also—very greatly, as may be
imagined, in the great man’s favor.
The Bismarck head measured 212 and
170 in millimeters. This, it appears, is
colossal. In Baden, where heads run
big, out of 2,500 they measured only
one ran to 206 millimeters from fore-
head to occiput. The most extensive
head they could find upon a savant
gave a cubic capacity of 1,800 centi-

meters only. Bismarck’s goes this 165
cubic centimeters better. Coming to
weight of brain, Kant, Dante, Byron,
Cuvier—none of them are in it with the
chancellor. Cuvier carried 3 pounds
15% ounces in his brain-pan. Bismarck
puts up 4 pounds 1' ounce avoirdupois.
This weight, however, has been equaled
in the case of a British subject, ‘re-
ported a couple of weeks ago in the
Lancet. He yielded 65 ounces—the
chancellor’s figure exactly—and he was
deaf, dumb, daft, and a Scotchman.
TRICKING TREE CRABS.
How the Natives of Africa Prevent Their
, Depredations.
In Africa there exists a certain mem-
ber of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
shellfish, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
has an offensive trick of crawling up
the cocoanut trees, biting off the cocoa-
nuts and then creeping down again
backwards.
The theory is that the nuts are shat- -
tered by the fall, and the great tree
crab is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty
meal. Now, the natives who inhabit
regions infested by this ill-conditioned
crab e 7e well aware that the lower por-
tion of the crab's anatomy is soft and
sensi ive, and they believe that the
“bivafve” was thus constructed in or-
der tl:..t he might know when he had
reached the ground, and when, conse-
quently, he might with safety release
his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stOp
his depredations, which often ruin the
cocoanut crops, is this: While the crab
is engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive a row of low nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or so
of the nails to project. . -
The crab has no knowledge of dis-
aster, nor yet the fitness of things. As
he descends, the sensitive part of his
body suddenly touches the nails. Think-
ing he has reached the ground, he nat-
rually lets go. Instantly he falls back-
wards, and cracks his own shell on the
ground.

Antiquity of the Harp.
W. S. Macdonald, of Glasgow, in a
recent lecture before the Highland
society of London, traced the history of
the harp from the shadows of mythol-
ogy to the present day. It is, he said,
the first musical instrument on record
and was the principal one of ancient
and medieval times. All the skill and
artistic genius of the Egyptians were
lavished upon its design and decora-
tion. The Druids first brought the
tone and pitch of the harp to perfec-
tion. It attained the height of its
favor in modern times in 1819, when
Sebastian Erard, of London, brought it
to the front rank of musical instru-
ments. It has been inscparably con-
nected with the traditions and lore of
the Gaelic people from time immemo-
rial.

Many Perfumes.
It is an interesting thing to know
that 4,200 species of plants are gathered
and used for commercial purposes in
Europe. Of .these 420 have aperfume
that is pleasing and enter largely into
the manufacture of scents, soaps and
sachets. There are more species of
white flowers gathered than of any
other color—1,124. Of these 187 have
an agreeable scent, an extraordinarily
large proportion. Next in order come
yellow blossoms, with 951, 77 of them
being perfumed. Red flowers number
823, of which 84 are scented. The blue
flowers are of 594 varieties, 34 of 'which
are perfumed, and the violet blossoms
number 308, 13 of which are pleasantly
odoriferous. .
Two Queer Illinois Wells.
Near Augusta, 111,, there are two
peculiar wells, each of which deserves
special mention in a department de-
voted to accounts of things out of the
ordinary. The first is a “bottomless
well”—one which was sunk down until
the immense running underground river
was struck. The second is a well in
which the water remains frozen winter
and summer. These two wonders, each
of which may properly be referred to
as “combined natural and artificial
curiosities,” are located at a distance
of about a mile and a half apart. The
frozen well is only about ten feet in
depth, that of the other not stated.
