FIVE STRANGE SIGHTS

The Oldest Thing on Earth--Lakes OF Soda
Weighing the sun--An Odd Procession
"A Ninth Century Cemetary.
In the heart of Wyoming territory is .
mountain OF solid hematite Iron ore. with
600 feet of 1t above the ground, more
than mile wide and over two miles in
length; a bed of Ignite coal big enough
to warm the world for centuries; eight
lakes of solid soda one Of them over 600
acres in extent and not less than 30 feet
ia depth, and q petroleum basin which
contains mere oil than Pennsylvania and
West Virginia combined. from which in
places the oil is 0Ozing in natural wells
at the rate Of two barrels a. dav.
Trees were f0and Ia Africa which were
computed to 20 $3.50 years old, and
cypress in Mexico is said to have reached
a still greater age. The Oldest tree. If
not the oldest living thing upon the
globe, is the cypress OF Santa Maria del
Tule in the Mexican state of VOXaca.
The life of this venerable forest monarch
has spaHned the whole of written his
tory. At last accounts it was still grow
ing, and in 1851. when Humboldt saw it,
it measured AZ feet in diameter, 1876 feet
in circumference, and 1882 feet between
the extremitles of the branches.
Suppose we have balance gigantic
enough for the purpose, and the sun is
resting on one of the scales. Now put
the earth in the opposite side OF the scale,
You might as we'll weigh your head
against one of the towers Of the East
River bridge. Pile hundred thousand
earths into the balance, and the sun does
not stir. There lies the colossus i'm
movable. Bat get together another hun
dred thousand, and then another hum
dren Thousand, and stack them mp In the
pam against the sun. Three hundred
thousand worlds piled up on one side OF
the balance and still the sun keeps them
up. 1t would take 10000, more, or $50,
900 earths, to make the beam even,
against single sun.
A strange sight was presented in the
streets of Tucson, A. T., one day last
month. A woman appeared carrying a
child's empty coffin on fsr shoulder. fol-
lowed by lot OF little girls. Later the
scene was reversed and the coffin was
borne by four little girls, followed by
several women. IL is no uncommon
sight here to see coffin borne to the
grave on the shoulders of man, but a
woman rendering the service was novel
spectacle.
An ancient. burying ground was re-
Gently unearthed in Paris while digging
ternch in the Rue Salande. The collins
of stone and plaster found there have
been traced to the seventh, eighth and
ninth centuries. They were poiRted to
the East, and had crosses inscribed on
circle. symbOlisal of eternity. and other
emblems Of Christianity. The collins
were found filled with dirt, their covers
having given way.

The Japanese dentist performs all
his operations of tooth-drawing with the
thumb and foretinger of one hand, and
thus he never terriiies his patients with
an array OF steel instruments. The
skill necessary to do this is only ac-
quired by long practice. But once it
is obtained the operator is able to ex-
tract about half dozen teeth in thirty
seconds without once removing his fin
gers from the patients mouth. The
dentist education commences with the
pulling out pegs that have been pressed
into soft wood; it ends with the draw
ing of hard pegs which have been driv-
en- into an oak plank with mallet. 1t
is said that no human jaw can resist
the delicate but powerful manipulation
of the japanese dentist.
