Some favored The issue OF new

the debt at a sum not to exceed
$45, 600. Ii had been an under
stood thing that the bondhold-

payment, but there was never

nothing was done. The meet

Brain Workers.
SO. Louis Post. Dispatch.

Although the brain is estimated to
be but one-fortieth the weight of the
body, it receives about one-ffth of all
the blood sent by the heart into the
system, and the analysis Of excretions
show that every three hours Of hard
study wear out the body more thar a
whole day Of severe physical labor,
These facts should be accepted as
proof that children who are studying
hard ought, above all things, to be
supplied with adequate food to ts
end that the healthy mind may live On
the healthy body, All brain workers
require q more Ill eral supply Of fool,
and richer food, than manual laboreis,
as brain work costs the human organ
ization more than hand work.

A story OF shelley.

OF Mr.. Shelley, nephew Of the po-
ct, Mr. Conway tells an interesting
story: This gentleman while search
ing for adventures while in Africa. cot
among tribe whom he found suffer-
ing poverty for want of little knowl-
edge about cattle breeding, agricul-
ture and other things which he was
competent to give. He remained with
them awhile, taught them what they
most needed, and as matters began TO
improve the Africans desired to wor-
ship him as god descendant among
them. Mi. Shelley's only trouble was
that they so loaded him with their de-
votion that he could not get away.
The one thing they would not hear Of
was his leaving. 1t having became
necessary that he should return to
England, he was forced to have re-
course to stratagem. he proposed to
go on an expedition with mounted
company, and carrying these with him
to a point not far from an English col
.ony, he got up silently in the night
and rode off furiously, making good
his escape.

Temperature Of tho Head.

Some lnvestlg cations have recently
been made BY several Psychologists
concerning the effect of mental activi-
ty upon the temperature of the BRAIN
Several thermometers are placed on
different parts Of tho head and fas-
tened there by means of straps; then
the person subjects himself TO various
intellectual processes, ana the result
shows decided increase of tempera-
tuFe III certain parts of the brain.
The temperature OF the brain Of pro-
fessor was elevated several degrees
while delivering a lecture. Even the
slightest intellectual effort raises the
Temperature of the head above that
which it reaches in Idle conversation
It is interesting to note that certain
parts of the brain show a greater In.
crease of temperature than others.
Where the temperature If the head is
increased beyond certain point, in
tellectnal effort takes place with diff
Guilty, or with pain. This is very apt
to be the case with persons Of very
nervous temperament. ltwouId there
fore be prudent for such to cease in
tellectual effort before this tempera-
ture is reached, and devote themselves
to some physical exercise which shall
equalize the circulation aud restore
the normal temperature TO the extrem-
tiles.

A City OF Caves.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
his escape

Away out on the Texas frontier,
and IN the eastern margin OF that vast
desert expanse, the Llano Estacado,
sixty miles north of the little town of
Graham, there settled about a year
ago colony from Oregon, consisting
of nine families. The locality was
distant from market and lumber scarce
ly to be had. The settlers, therefore,
as the cold northers of winter were
approaching, determined to build hab-
itations underground. They selected
hill, in whose side they excavated
rooms, halls, kitchens and sleeping
apartments, not unlike the ancient
dwellers in the rocks OF Judea. A
chimney was formed by aiming a
stovepipe up through the hill to the
surface. The dwellings, are perfectly
dry and warm in the coldest and most
freezing norther. This little city of
caves has been named Oregon City,
and will be the capital of Taylor coun-
ty.

The Locomotive.

The ordinary life Of locomotive en-
gine is stated at 80 years. Some Of
the small parts require renewal every
six months. The boiler tubes last FIVE
years, and the crank axe!s six years;
tires, boilers and fire-boxes six to sew
en- years The side frames, axels and
other parts 80 years.

In the cable news Of few days
since, it was stated that the French
Atlantic cable was broken l6l miles
from St. Pierre Miqdelon. in 500 faith
oms Of water" These few words
show one Of the many triumphs Of
modern electrical science Here is a
wire cord buried under three-fifths Of
. mile Of the water Of the ocean, and
100 miles from land and yet the peo-
pie on shore can exactly locate the
points at which it is broken. Strange
as that seems, it il actually done, and
has been time and again The repair
ing vessels will go ont to the indicat-
ed point, throw over their graphing
hooks, and within few hundred yards
will find the broken ends and splice
them. This wonder is accomplished,
first, by exact knowledge Of the laws
of electricity, which make known
what amount Of currents wire of q
given dimension will carry, and the
resistance it must overcome in going
to a given distance, and, next, by the
instruments made by the mechanicians
of our day, which will make the oper-
alton of both laws visible to the expe-
rienced observer, even if the break in
the cable is thousand miles away
and two miles under the sea.
