a MEsnfERIs1,s TRICK.

The French courts have allowed
themselves to be humbugged by the
nesmerizsrs, when they admitted as
proof OF somnambulism the evidence OF
a needle being thrust into the nape of q
mans neck without his feeling it. Many
years ago I went to a public mesmerie
seanca at Brighton. The mesmerizer
thrust needles in the foreheads and arms
OF number of girls who sat with hin.
on platform, and whom he had mes
merized. I thought that recognized
the practitioner, and, onspeaking to him
after the seance, found that he had
been butler in the family of relation
of mine. He showed me how to insert,s
needle into any one without pain. Moth
ing is more easy. It has only to be done
very slowly. Proceeding from lecture
to practice, he inserted into my fore
head two or three needles without my
feeling anything beyond slight prick.

THE woRx OF ro1cANoEs.

Cotopaxi, in 1888, threw its fiery rock
cts 5000 feet above its crater, while in
1724 the blazing mass, struggling for an
outlet, roared SO that its awful voice was
heard at distance Of more than 600
miles. In 1897 the crater of Tunguragua,
one of the great peaks of the Andes,
flung out torrents Of mud, which damned
up the rivers, opened new lakes, and in
valleys 1000 feet wide made deposits
600 feet deep. The stream from Vesuvius,
which in 1773 passed through Terro del
Greco, contained 33,O0o,00O cubic feet
of solid matter; and in 1893, when Terro
del Greco was destroyed second time,
the mass of lava amounted to As, coo, 900
cubic feet.
In 1760 Etna poured forth food
which covered eighty-four square miles
of surface. On this occasion the sand
and scoria formed the Monte Rosini, near
Nicholosa, cone of two niles in cir
cumference, and 400 feet high. The
stream thrown out at Etna in 1910 was
in motion at the rate of one yard Per day
for nine months after the eruption, and
it is on record that the lava of the same
mountain, after terrible eruption, was
not thoroughly cool and consolidated for
ten years after the event.
In the eruption of Vesuvius, A. d. 70.
the scorns and ashes vomited forth far
exceeded the entire bulk of the mount
ain; while in 1860 Htna disgorged more
than twenty times its own mass. Vesu-
vius has sent its ashes as far as Constan-
tinople, Syria and Egypt; it hurled stones
eight pounds in weight to Pompeii,
distance of six miles, while similar
masses were tossed up 1000 feet above
the summit. Cotopaxi has projected
rock of 100 cubic yards III volume nine
miles; and Sumbawa, in 1S45, during
the most terrible eruption on record,
sent its ashes as far as Java, distance
of 800 miles of surface, and, out of
population of 1900 souls, only twenty
escaped. Exchange.

THE MOON.

Not long since we had view of tho
moon through fine telescope. She was
in what is called her gibbous phase /;
that is, more than half enlightened, be-
tween the first quarter and the full.
The telescope had power of 5O0-or
magnifed 500 times-which so increased
the size of our little satellite that only a
small portion could be seen at once. She
was brought so near that it seemed as ii
we could almost touch her.
Her surface looks more like chalk than
like anything else. The scene was one
OF utter desolation. Deep indentations
with immense cones rising in the center !;
huge assures and crevices black as night );
etupendous cavities, and every conceie-
able form of shspeless excrescence, arc
all that now remain to show where ver-
dure-covered valleys once reigne6,
| mountain tops lifted their heads covered
with eternal snow, volcanic craters sent
forth hidden flames, and basins and river
beds wer. covered with surging seas and
running streams.
The lns.asl 5 atmo phcre has long since
baen absortes,, and therefore no cloud,
diversity her sky, 10 sound breaks the
eternal silence, no twilight proiongs til,
day, and TO sign of life can be traced il,
the chaos ;hat reigns on the dead planet.
Doul't!ess, before her internal heat wa,
exhausted, size was The abode of hal,ita-
BILE Life, but, beiag only one-fou.h OF
the size OF the earth, she must cool muck
faster. and her mission be more quickly
fulfilled.
There is, however, some variety in the
view Ct the moon as different portions Of
the disk CONE into the field. Now we
have a comparatively placid scene.
known as the Sea Of tranquility, for il,
Old times water was supposed to exist
there. Now comes the famous crater
Linnseus, which, a few years since, was
thought to give signs Of volcanic action.
Then other well-known localities are
glanced at, for astronomers know tho
prominent features of the moon as well
as those Of our own globe.
The most interesting view was that of
he terminator OF boundary line between
the bright and shaded portions Of tho
moon. Instead of the line of light that
marks its appearance to the naked eye,
the rough edge was formed of colder.
branches like huge formations Of coral.
These were the SUBMITS of the mount
aims in the moon, just rising on this por-
ton of the satellite.
The bright mountain tops were grand
ly beautiful as they were touched by the
silnbeams. The scene was still more
sublime and awe inspiring when it wa;
remembered that the eyes that looked
upon it were 100000 miles away

yTxGS FOR CHILDREN.

Impossible as it may be to understand
the survival or persistence of fashion in
dress, the use of false hair has been
re'egated to the gentler sex of this, the
last quarter Of the nineteenth century.
Unless for the absolute protection of
head utterly bereft Of hair, men to-day
rarely wear wigs. The prosperous days
OF the barber waned when he no longer
found supplementary calling in wig
making. If that preponderance of false
hair on women's heads, in vogue some
few years ago, has been curtailed, small
tags Of sham curls, fastened on netting,
fattened on female foreheads. has been
for some time a Ia mode.
There is, however, one fashion getting
into vogue which common sense an the
least appreciation Of the fitness Of things
ought to abolish. If ridicule could kill
it, it deserves to be laughed out of exis.-
ence. You are passing a house, and
child is seen as II set in the frame of the
window. Yen admire the beauty Of the
child. and expat,ate on glory e hllair
tumbling down on the rounded shoulders.
Your wife, who has noticed your expan.
siveness, will not be moved, for she re-
marks in dry, matter-of-fact way, cit
is wig. Why, don't you know that
any number of children wear wigs? You
can buy wig of that kind for $25. Very
nice ones, assorted to child's complex
ion, made to order. come higher" You
look horror-stricken, and YOU ask re-
proachfully, Have you been shopping
for children's wigs? Is our own little
innocent to wear wig ?" "No," is the
reply, II only asked the price. Where
was the harm? Why, there are thou
sands Of little girls in New York wearing
wigs. Ishould not be surprised if lin
time all of them would have to wear them.
Some Of the fashionable doctors, it is
said, recommend wigs-they prevent
colds. It is even quite likely that chill
dren will wear wigs this summer, be-
cause they will be thought to be cool. !"
There are, unfortunately, many vulgar
people who think that the earlier they
begin to make their children humbugs
the better it is.-NeW York Times.
