With Head to the North.

The superstitious belief that human
beings should sleep with their heads to the
north is now believed to be based upon q
scientific principle. The French Academy
of Sciences has made experiments upon
the body of guillotined man which 90 to
prove that each human body is in itself an
electric battery, one electrode being repre-
sented by the head and the other by the
feet. The body of the subject upon which
experiments were made was taken immedi-
atel!y after death and placed upon pivot
free to move in any direction. After some
vacilation the head turned toward the
north, the pivot board remaining station
ary. One Of the professors turned it half
way around, but it soon regained posi-
ton with the head piece to the north, and
the same results were repeatedly obtained
until organic movement ceased.

|fe to say there is no other book
WI has had so great an influence
up the literature of the world as the
Bible. And it is almost as safe-at
least with no greater danger than that
of starting an instructive discussion-to
say that there is no other literature
which has felt this influence so deeply
or shown it so clearly as the English.
The cause of this latter fact is not far
to seek. 1t may be, as discontinued
French critic suggests, that it is partly
due to the Unborn and incorrigible ten
dency of the Anglo-Saxon mind to drag
religion and immortality into everything.
But certainly this tendency would never
have taken such distinctly biblical
form had it not been for the
beauty and vigor of our common En-
glish version of tie scriptures. These
qualities were felt by the people, even
before they were praised by the critics.
Apart from all religious prepossessions,
men and women and children were tas-
cinated by the native power and grace
of the book. The English Bible was
popular, in the broadcast sense long be-
fore it was recognized as one OF our
noblest classics. 1t has colored the
talk of the household and the street, as

An Age Of Rlondes.

How many black haired women do you
know? If you take the trouble to count,
you will find that out of ten women you
meet, nine will have blonde hair of some
shade, and the tenth will possess dark
brown rather than black. The tendency of
the times seems to be toward light
women, and, by the by. do not mean the
ones whose hair is made light by the use
of peroxide of hydrogen. Scientists tell
us that as nation grows more civilized.
its women grow more perfectly blonde; and
students in the mysteries of love say that
blonde women are the most affectionate
wives and the least faithful. This is the
SORT of thing no man can find out by per-
sona.l experience, but it's rather interesting

Arid Lands in the United States.


Maj; Powell. Of the geological survey,
says there are 1000, 100000 acres of arid
land in the United States needing irricas
ton, but when irrigated, fertile and Ger
tain to produce good crops. Of the Bill
lion acres about 6,On6,OOO acres ara
now under cultivation by irrigation, and
about 12O,000,0OO altogether can be rem
dered arabic by that method. Mr.. Powell
lntimates that the construction of reser-
volrs, canals and other works necessary
will cost $40 an acre. Assuming that 100.
100000 acres are to be redeemed in this
way, the cost will aggregate 81 900, OOO,-
oOO. The work. he thinks, ought not to
be done by the government, but by large
private corporations, which may acquire
large bodies of said lands and make n
profitable business of bringing them under
cultivation,

The Port Townsend Southern.

struclion of the additional 10 miles,
work on which will begin April 1.
This is all that Is ready for contract
ing at the present time, but it is the
intention of this company and their
surveyors TO have another section of
20 miles ready for letting by the first
of next June. This Will leave only
about 60 miles that Will have 10 be

the head Of Port Townsend harbor,
and said, There Capt. AIcAllep,
as nautical man, has had many
years experience, and has been all
over the world. He Is specially fa-
m!.iar with the Pacific coast, and
with the Pacific northwest in partic-
uIar, and with every nook and cor
Der OF Puget Sound more than any
whore else. His Judgment, frankly
expressed. Is that Port Townsend
Bay is the place above all Others
( possessing ali the requirements nec~
essay for the proposed naval sta
ton. ia this matter Capt McAllep
T agrees with all the eminent authori
ties who have spoken heretofore on
the subject The verdict Is that OF
practical experience, born Of many
years careful observation and COM
pari7on. There is no reason why
Capt McAilep should favor this
roiut above others for selfish pur
poses, aud hence his Judgment is
wholly unbiased; and, as such, cor

send, and from five to six times as
great at Neah bay as at Port Town
send. Now what makes all of this
difference? The straits of Fuca are
from IL to 20 miles wide. The ocean
wind has full sweep, blowing right
up the straits from Neah Bay to Port
Townsend; then why is not the rain
fall at Port Townsend as great As at
Neah Bay And why is the rain fall
on the Snohomish so much greater
than anywhere else on Puget Sound
Whoever answers these questions
can analyze and describe the climate
of Puget Sound My answer Is this:
There are two main ocean winds.
The northwest or dry wind, blowing
chiefly in summer, and blowing up
the straits of Fuca. and Chehalis and
Columbia rivers; this makes our cool
summers; then there is the southwest
or west wind, warm and moist, which
blows diagonally across the gaps,
made in the series of mountains call
ed the Coast range. by the straits OF
Fuca, and the Chehalis and Column
bia rivers. Nearly all the rain fall
ing in Washington Territory Is
brought from the ocean IN storm
clouds by the southwest wind. These
clouds float at from one to four
thousand feet above sea level. Were
there no gaps in the Coast range
from the straits south to California
but a solid mountain wall over foul
thousand feet high, the climate OF
Puget Sound would be like that OF
Eastern Washington. If the Coast
range was less than 1000 feet high
the climate of Puget Sound would be
nearly like that of Astoria and Neal
Bay. It is the varying height of
with the gaps in the Coast range
that make the many differences OF
Puget Sound climate.
It is from its fogs and cloudy
weather that Port Townsend finds
its slight rainfall sufficient for agri-
cultural purposes.
