The HEARTS Work.

AS with each stroke the heart pro-
jects something like six ounces of blood
into the conduits of the system, and as
it does so some seventy times every
minute and 4,200 times in an hour, this
implies that it does the same thing 100,-
800 times in twenty-four hours, 30,000,-
600 times in year, and more than
2,500,000, 900 times in a life of seventy
years. The mechanical force that is
exerted at each stroke amounts to q
pressure of thirteen pounds upon the
entire charge of blood that has to be
pressed onward through the branching
network of vessels. According to the
lowest estimate that has been made.

The Real History Of Jumbo,

Jumbo, the famous monster elephant,
has now been just one year in America,
and whether owing to climatic intlu-
ences or better care and attention, has
thrived in his new home immensely. 1t
is fact, however, not generally known,
that animal trainers in this country are
better acquainted with the habits and
peculiarities of elephants than the peo-
pie of any other portion of the world,
not even excepting the East, where these
big animals have been kept in captivity
for many hundreds of years. Jumbo,
according to the testimony of Sir Sam
uel Baker, was captured when very
young by band of Hamean Arabs, who
brought him from the Settle river, in
Abyssinia, and disposed of him to a
Bavarian collector named Johann
Schmidt. Jumbo was then less than
four feet high, and travelled with an
other elephant of his own tender age,
which has since died. He was purchas-
ed by the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris,
in 1861, and after seven years of rapid
growth was transferred to the London
Zoo" From this garden Barnum,
Bailey and Hutchinson procured him.
When he arrived here he was lean, lank
and tall He has since improved from,
weight 1860 pounds, height IL feet 9
inches. girth "a feet 5 inches, to 20, 100
pounds in weight, Is feet inches in

The Tnilars Of 0nr nav.

"Rather die than work. exclaimed
tramp on the old Bergen road when the
old saying was recounted to him. "Why,
nobody likes work better than genuine
tramp. But he is too independent to
take anything that is offered him. He
doesn't care for manual labor. but he is
very fond of light intellectual employ
ment. | work. Look here" and he
unstrapped a little satchel from his
back, opened it, and showed grayish
pasty substance, prepared in small
squares, which he said was used by all
the crowned heads of Europe to remove
grease spots from their garments and
make them look equal to new. The
farmers of West Jersey also bought
good deal of it.
at is only ten cents cake" added
the tramp insinuatingly, land dirt

"Where do you get it?" asked the re-
porter, examining it.
Il make it myself" was the proud
reply. at is only chalk and water. I
have to moisten it every day to prevent
its getting dry and powdering. I sold
nine cakes to q man mile back on the
road"
He'll be astonished tomorrow morn
ing, when itgets dry and powders, sug-
gested the reporter.
''If l could sell one more cake" said
the tramp, taking no notice of the re-
mark, Il should have earned a dollar,
for it costs me nothing"
The reporter bought a cake and
added:
''Does it really remove grease spotsP"
"Well, no, it does not" replied the
tramp candidly; "but good many peo-
pie think it does. l direct them to put
little of it on the place they want
cleaned, and then rub hard with wet
nail brush. Of course. if the grease is
not too old, or has not penetrated too
far, the rubbing with the nail brush and
the water would have taken it off, or at
least reduced it; but they attribute it all
to the chalk. Then, even when the
grease spot is old, it disappears while it
is wet, and the people sometimes invite
me to dinner under the impression that
it has gone altogether. l am quick al
my meals. and l am far enough away
before the garment is dry and the grease
visible; and yet they say tramps are
lazyr'-N. Y. Sun.

A Legal Point,

He looked like q rising young lawyer,
as he entered a Jersey City bank the
other day and inquired for the cashier.
"Has any person presented check

"No, sir"

A Salt Lake on Top Of a Mountain.

There Is a remarkable salt lake, situ-
ated $50 miles west and south of Albu-
querque, in New Mexico. and about so
miles from the Arizona line. The lake
is located on the top of volcanic noun
tain, and evidently occupies an extinct
crater. The lake is perhaps three-quar-
ters of mile in diameter, and is so
strongly impregnated with salt that a
thick crust of pure white salt OF a
spongy consistency like floating ice
encrusts the margin. 1t is so plentiful
that it is carried away by the wagon
load. 1t has been long used by the In
dians. The salt is white, of the purest
quality and destitute of sand or any
foreign ingredient. The texture is por-
Gus, like CONCEALED white foam. There
was one specimen inclosing the stem of
some vegetable and can be handled like
an apple by its stem. But the most cur
ious feature of this lake is a tall circu-
lar column, of monument-shaped forma-
ton, which rose up near the center of
the lake to the hight of 100 feet and
which appeared to be composed of
white lava thrown up by some convul-
sion during some ancient geological
period. The outside of the singular
column sloped from the base toward the
top, and was rough enough to enable it
to be assembled. On reaching the top
of the cone the interior was found to be
hollow like tube, and at the bottom
there was seen circular pond of water
with bright emerald green color in
appearance, probably to be attributed
to the sparse rays of light which pene-
trated this huge tube, and were reflect
ed from the smooth, mirror-like surface
of the water A party with some diff
Guilty descended the projecting sides of
the interior of this bowl, and they found
no incrustations of salt on the surface
like that on the outside, but on thrust
ing the hand into the water and with
drawing it, the hand came out perfect
ly white from the particles of salt that
adhered to it. 1t was evidently very
strong brine.-St. Louis Republican.
