Venetian Lace-Makers.

The celebrated lace of Venice is made
by the wives and daughters of the
wretched fishermen on the islands and
along the coast, and the low prices you
can get it at, if you have skill enough
in bargaining, comes from the fact that
skilled woman can only earn from
three to four cents for long days
work. They have been educated in it
for generations, and there is no pattern,
no matter how intricate and beautiful,
but what they can reproduce.
The patterns and materials are fur
nished them by the great houses in the
city, and they get fixed price for the
labor, which is accomplished between
the intervals of cleaning and sailing the
fish which their husbands and fathers
bring in their boats. There is no time
fixed for the delivery of a piece of work,
unless it be some great expensive arti-
Gle for a royal wedding, and those es-
pccial orders are accomplished in the
few factories where women are en-
ployed regularly The trade in laces,
as that in almost everything else that
has any enterprise in it, is in the hands
of the Jews who wax rich in supplying
this beautiful vanity to the outside
world.--D. Il. Locke, IN Toledo Blade.

Witchcraft i'm India.

There are in India professed heart
eaters and liver-eaters, who, by their
spells and incantations, pretend to steal
away and devour these vital organs,
thereby reducing the luekless indi-
viduals thus attacked to the greatest
extremity. These extraordinary feeders
are, it is said, able to communicate their
art by giving those who desire to eX-
ercise it piece of liver-cake to eat.
They are dangerous people, effecting as
much mischief by their pretended
power as if they were actually able to
achieve what they profess; since they
work upon the fears and excite the
imagination of the unhappy individuals
who are subjected to their diaboiical in
fluence, producing upon the victim
who is rendered hypochondriac by the
artful suggestions of the enemy
anguish, disease and finally death.
A recent Indian mail gave very
curious instance of the fatal results
which arise sometimes from native
superstition. 1t was brought to light
in the course of trial held before the
Agent of the Governor of Madras at
Gangam, in South India. A paltry dis
pute had arisen between two men regard
ing sum of six annas (about seven

inc into house and fetching knife,
with which he inflicted several
stabs upon his opponent, from the eff
fects of which he died On being taken
up, the accused admitted having caused
the death of the other man, but said he
had done so in order to save himself, as
the other had threatened to turn him
self into tiger and kill him. There is
a superstition among the hill tribes to
the effect that such metamorphosis
can be made; and coupling this with
the circumstance that the crime was
apparently unprecedented, as the
weapon with which the wounds were
inflicted did not belong to the prisoner,
the Governors agent did not consider
the case such as to call for the exercise
of the utmost severity of the law. The
prisoner was found guilty and ordered
to be transported for life.
The Mohammedans adopt another de-
vice for taking away the life of an enc
my. They construct an image of earth
taken out of n grave, read a particular
chapter of the Koran over it and then
repeat the prayers backward. every
word spelled in the same way-that is,
with letters reversed. These and
other preiminaries being accomplished,
the image is perforated with wooden
pegs in every part, and being shrouded
like human corpse, is conveyed with
funeral solemnity to the cemetery of
the place and inferred in the name of
the person whose death is desired, and
who, it is believed will not long survive

on the tracks OF an elephant, and al
though the southern frontiers of Abyss
sinia have been comparatively undis-
turbed, we suspect that rifles consigned
to the merchants of Khartoum have
been spreading desolation in Bakers
sporting paradise of the Abyssinian
tributaries of the Nile. Yet it is not so
very many years ago since, while sitting
like the patriarchs at the door of his
tent, he saw giraffs and elephants pa
rading themselves in troops in the we'll
timbered savannahs in the valley be-
meath him. 1t is true that certain
animals are born with luck of their
own, seeing that nothing but danger is
to be got by pursuing them; and the
danger is of singularly disagreeable
kind. We can conceive nothing more
horrible than the embrace of the gorilla,
who is said to have the superhuman
craft of the carcajou with the habit of
dropping on the sportsman from the
branches overhead, and should your
nerves have stood the terror of his noe
turnal growlings, and if you should sue
coed i'll turning the tables on him, the
sole satisfaction is in having the mon

South African Hunting.

We have had many book of South
African adventure, but Cumming may
be said to have been among the last of
the gentlemen pioneer-errants. The
English settled up the Transkei and
Natal; the discontinued Dutch trekked
out into the Transvaal. Livingstone
had made friends with the wild tribes
on the Zambes, and had sent the trav-
cling gentlemen of the period on pill
grimages of admiration to the Victoria
Falls. These tourists into the interior,
on expeditions ''personaly conducted"
tried to pay their way. and not unfre-
uuently nearly succeeded. A race of
heavily armed lephant-hunters arose,
who organized themselves in small par
ties, and were regularly equipped by
their sleeping partners, for slaughter or
barter. Beads of the fashionable colors
and breadths of scarlet cloth, with robes
of tawdry embroidery were exchanged
for tusks, skins and karosses. Though
most of these men had primarily an eye
to the main chance, many of them were
as keen sportsmen as Cumming; and if
the life was rough there were the seduc-
tons of romance in it. There were
other dangers besides the risks of the
actual chase. Astute chiefs pounded"
the wagons for frontier duties, arbitra-
rily imposed; the poisonous tsetse fly
killed horses and draught oxen; foun-
tains gave out on the long desert stages,
or the rains descended and the floods
fell, changing meadows in the river
valleys into malarious swamps. The
strength of the traders was Slapped
and they were shaken to pieces
by fevers; venomous snakes, on the
lookout for snug quarters, coiled
themselves in their blankets and under
their pillows, and their cattle were
Gifted by tiny barbarians, armed with
poisoned arrows, who could scarcely
be tracked over the stones to their earths
and lairs in the krdnzes. But the dam
ger and the profit continued to draw
these men like magnets, till the beats
they were wont to traverse have been
pretty nearly cleared of big game.
And where sporting adventure has ceased
to tempt the shooting trader the
savage has been left to pick up what is
left; so there is a rising market for the
dwindling supplies of ivory, ETC., drawn
from the elephant districts that are
yearly more remote. A precisely SINH
lar process has been going forward from
each commercial centre on the coasts of
the continent. Arab traders, with their
headquarters at Zanzibar, meet the
merchants of the Congo or Niger, who
do business on the western watersheds.

The Polar Stream or Newfoundland.


The report of the temperature of the
Atlantic brought by the German steamer
Katie recently is of special interest as
showing the changes going on this sea-
son in the gulf stream and its opposing
Arctic current. On the 25th of April,
when about forty miles south of the
southermost edge of the Newfoundland
banks latitude AZ degrees 26 minutes,
longitude so degrees rs minutes), this
steamer passed several icebergs, finding
the weather very cold and the tempera-
ture of the sea 32 degrees. This Is an
exceptionally low temperature of the
water to be observed so far south al
most at the close of April. Even allow
ing that it was partly due to the prox-
unity of icebergs it seems to indicate
that the glacial Labrador current is now
protruding farther south than usual and
crowding the gulf stream out of its
wonted spring course. The enormous
volume of polar ice-laden water flowing
over the banks must exert powerful
influence both on the movement and
the temperature of the stream against
which it impinges, especially since the
deep floating icebergs, as Dr. Carpenter
points out, bring this influence to bear
directly on the lower strata of the warm
current. So great is the southwark
sweep of the heavy glacial current that
when the buoy attached to the broken
end of the Atlantic cable of 1865 got
adrift it was found to have travelled
presumably by the action of the
underflow on the long buoy rope sus-
pended in it) nearly due south a dis
lance of six hundred miles in seventy
six days in opposition to the gulf stream.
As a proof of the remarkable changes of
the limits of the stream in various sea-
sons Admiral Irminger states that ''the
warm waters between the Bermudas
and Halifax in February 1920, had
width of 140 miles, but in may of the
same year of 800 miles" while ''in June
1847, they were in about the same place
LAG miles across"
The expansion of the area of icy water
off Newfoundland which explains the
contradiction of the water current, has
a marked influence on the weather over
the banks. Cyclones in traversing the
cold ocean have their humid winds SO
chilled that their vapor is more rapidly
condensed, and hence the pressure in
their centre is reduced and their inten-
sity augmented. But the chief effect of
the cold water area is, when swept by
southwesterly winds saturated with
moisture, to condense their vapor into
dense fog, the seaman's chief foe. La
mont records striking instance of the
reproducing power of cold water
when Watching in the sunlit, CLASSY seas
of Nova Zembla, he observed with the
springing up of southwest breeze the
sudden formation of a dense fog. The
dry winter winds on the Newfoundland
banks are replaced this month by the
moist southwest winds, and if Gas the
observations of the German steamer
referred to and other recent records in
dicate) there is now an unusual extern
sion of the polar stream. the coming
summer may rival that of 1881 for fogs.
1t is to be earnestly hoped, therefore,
that the crowded European steamships
will this season give the banks a wide
berth. N Y. Herald.

Getting His Moneys Worth.

A man, little topheavy, rushed into
q SiXth-avenue telegraph office, seized
telegraph blank and a stub pen with
ball of dried ink on the end, and, by
propping himself against the counter,
managed to write the following mes
sage:
kate; won't be home TIL morning
"What'll that cost?' said the man,
handing the message through the port
hole to the manipulation of electricity.
Let me see. Seven words-fifteen
cents.''
Fifteen, eh! How much for ten
words?"
1.-The same price, anything not ex-
ceeding ten will cost you fifteen cents
to any address in the city," answers
the operator, making a spring to muzzle
an instrument that was suffering as if
it had delir.um tremens.
'I'm bound to have the worth of my
money out of your corporation, then,
said the man, bracing himself against
the counter as he traced on blank this
clear message
"Incomprehensibility manufacturers, trans.
vex, Massachusetts,, assassination, Pennsyl.
vana, imperturbability, philoprogenitive-
ness"
There, string that on your wire and
send her at a 2:40 gait" said the man,
with look of vengeance in his eye.
The operator counted the words, but
volunteered the information that there
was no sense in the message, and that
the dictionary must have been ran
sacked for the longest words.
II know there's no sense in il, but
Kate'll understand it all the same.
Sh'll know I'm on a drunk anyway

whether it's sense or not / make 'em
long on purpose to break the back of
