North Cardinals Breathing Cave.

In the range of mountains in western
North Carolina, known as the Fork
Range" most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is the Breathing Cave"
In the GUNNER months current of air
comes from it so strongly that person
cannot walk against it, while in the
winter the rush of air inward is lust as
great.
The cool air from the cave in sum-
mer is felt sometimes for miles in di-
rect line from the mouth of the cave.
AT times most unpleasant odor is
emitted upon the current from dead
animals sucked in and killed by coming
in violent contact with the walls. The
loss of cattle and other stock in that
section during the winter months is al
ways great, and is accounted for in this
way: They range too near the mouth
and the current carries them in.
At times, when the change from in
halation to exhalation begins. the air is
Tiled with hairs of the various animals:
not infrequently small dry bones have
been carried for over mile from the
mouth of the cave as though shot from
an air gun. The air has been known
to change quite suddenly during ex-
halation from cold to quite hot, accom-
panied by a terrible roaring and gurg-
ling sound
Many scientific men have visited
the place. but the phenomenon still
remains unexplained: the residents of
that section fear volcanic eruption.
Something is wrong sure. -NaShriNe

One of the most difficult things an
Englishman has to do when he first ar
rives in this country, says the n. Y.
ErcniRq llorld, is to get what he wants
10 drink So says a well-knowu and
popular barkeeper in an interview.
When m Englishmau goes into Il sa-
loon and asks for beer it is not lager
beer hat he wants, but bitter ale: and
when he uses what | may call the slang
OF his country and calls for glass of
bitter, which is bitter ale, no one I'M
derstauds him.
The American, YOU know. drinks
whisky or lager beer; the EngliShman
drinks brandy or ale, and he call his
ale beer. Ii he wants something very
strong, something that will put him in
state of wild hilarity. he will ask for
glass of 'Burton's No. 81 He could
not get it in this country, but it is a
drink that will make man much
drunken than whisky. Two glasses
will put him under the table. 1t is n
powerful iutoxicant, though it is only
al ale.
But the ale-drinking Englishmau is
totally 1T sea here, for he eau not call
for his beer without getting lager. a
drink which he naturally despises.

Vagaries of Memory.

From an article by Prof II. C. Wood.
| in the Century, we quote the following:
when disease affects the brain these
| alterations of word-memory are some
! thing very strange. In the most COM
plete form of this so-calied aphasia the
| person cannot understand words, he
cannot think in words, and cannot talk
words. Usually, however, words are
! remembered sufficiently to be re-
| cognized when heard or seen, but al
| though the idea is there, the person
cannot speak in words. | recall the
case of an old German woman who had
aphasia. When asked how old she
was, she would indicate sixty with her
fingers. If asked how many children
she had had, she would indicate seven.
If two of the fingers were turned down
she would get angry and insist upon
the seven. She was able to understand
questions. She knew what the figure
= meant. but had not the power to say
the word seven 1t is very curious
fact that in these forms of aphasia the
language of the emotions may be pre-
served while the language of the intel
lect is destroyed. Very often profane
man. when he has aphasia, is able to
swear. This German woman, when
excited, could say Colt in Himmeln
Besides this there was left to her but
one little fra gment of each of the two
languages which she had known. She
could not say the English no. but
could say the German nein'; she could
not say the German yah, but could
splitter out the English yes
The forms of aphasia known as word
blindness and word-deafness are very
strange. The sufferer from word blind
uess can write and will understand
what is said to him; he will talk TO YOU
and perhaps talk you to death ;but hand
him book, a newspaper. or even the
letter he himself has written. and he
cannot read word. Thus an active
man OF business having written letter
giving directions for an important
matter. attempted TO read it, in order
TO see If it WAS correct but was astound-
ed to lind that he could not make out a
single word: he had been suddenly
stricken with word-blindneSS. The
sounds OF the words and the words
themselves had remained to him, but
the recollection of the written forms of
the words was gone. In Il case of word.
deafness the person can talk and can
write, but although his hearing is per-
feet he cannot recognize the spoken
words. The sound of the voice is plain
to his sense. but conveys no thought to
him. The records of the past-the IN
conscious memory so to speak-eXist in
the brain; but for conscious recognition
these must be dragged out before the
ron seriousness
1t is doubtful whether there is such
thing as Il bad memory, 1. cas- badly
kept brain record. The difference in
individuals as to the power of recollect-
ing probably consists in the relation
between consciousness and memory.
One man has the power of going into
the library in his brain and picking up
at once the leaf he wants, and glories
in his good memory. Another cannot
in a moment find what he desires, but
when the floods of disease come, then
spontaneously float up those things
which he had thought were gone for
ever"

Found a Big Bone.

An immense bone of some prehis-
toric animal has been unearthed by the
workmen engaged in building the piers
in the Missouri River for the Winner
Bridge. The bone was found IN calsson
No. 6, ut Il point about forty-eight feet
below the surface OF the river. About
eight feet of the substance protrudes
from the boulder and sand made bed of
the river. 1t is eighteen inches thick
at the largest point, although thicker
portion may be brought to light when
the workmen get the specimen fully
out of its bed The exposed end has
the appearance of the socket of a joint,
but the general dirty condition of the
bone renders an examination impossi-
bic ut this time. There can be little
question that the substance is bone,
and that of a member of some prehis-
toric race of mammals.
The foundation for pier 5, where the
great bone was found, is nearly in the
middle of the Missouri River; at any
rate it is almost exactly in the strong
est current OF the muddy stream. The
depth now attained is forty-eight feet
and it is expected that the foundation
will be put down to eighty feet, or at
least until bedrock is struck. The big
bone is too large to have belonged to a
pterodactyl, even if that genus of fossil
lizards of the secondary strata were
known to prehistoric America. The
ichthyosaurus, Il gigantic fossil marine
reptile, can not well be accused of hay
ing fathered the specimen, because the
largest of his kind would scarcely have
had a bone eight or nine feet long in
his makeup. 1t most likely belongs,
however 10 the extinct species c}ephaS
primi-geRiUS These elephants were
about twice the size of the living tribe,
but the finding of their bones has been
confined almost altogether to the colder
ATTITUDES.
Late naturalists have placed the
mammoth of the warmer parts of North
America in different class from the
animals of the north. OF the southern
tribe only few bones and teeth have
ever been discovered and il the find
ut the Winner Bridge proves all that is
expected of il the scientific world will
be largely the gamer. The size of the
bone found does away with the proba-
'iii'N tii''e II hCiouSS ~ tHt tAtiuCI
genus maStodon, although that animal
was allied to prehistoric North America
Occasionally isolated bones and teeth
of the mastodon have been found on
the banks of the Missouri. but no bone
rs large as that found Monday evening
was ever found in connection with the
species IN this or any other country.
The specimen is good one if of a
mastodon; if that of 4 mammoth it is
still more valuable. -KanSds City

BRIDGING eEHRINc STRAITS.

of Accomplish ment.

The pro- ct of bridging Behring

| in the engineering sense. the ultimate
construction of highway between ST.
IBERIA and Alaska. 1t is true that while
the distance from the English to the
French shores is only twenty-five or
twenty-three miles the distance from
the American to the Russian is be-
TWEEN fifty and sixty. But this stretch
is broken by the Diomede islands. lying
about midway in Behring straits. and
well scattered. Three large, WELL
known, and inhabited islands of this
group are so situated as TO form con-
yenient stations in route from Cape
Prince of Wales on our shore to East
Cape on the Siberian. They are Fair
way Rock, krusenstern. or, as the peo-
pie call it, Ingaliuk. and Ratmanoff. or
Imaklit, and between the two latter
passes the boundary line of the treaty
of 1867. The distance of the first from
the American shore is hardly dozen
miles, and that of the last from the
Russian shore only about twice as
much There is also King OF Ukivok
island inhabited. and "A survey might
disclose uninhabited rocks capable OF
additionally breaking the distance for a
bridge route. The depth even in the
middle of the straits is said 20 be about
thirty fathoms; and, altogether, bar
ring the ice, the engineering problem
might not be hopeless, provided there
were anything whatever to suggest un
dertaking it.
OF course, nobody proposes to drop
scores and hundreds of millions into
such a project, with no returns, in this
age of the world. Whoever should
take the journey BY water to Behring
straits would not grudge the few hours
expended in crossing. Perhaps during
the twenty-tirst century, after Helpers

spur running westward to the valley
of the Yukon. the then ilourishing pop
ulations Of Siberia and Alaska may
clamor for this method of local rapid
transit between their shores.

J(Geph Jefferson on "Dundreary."

During the season of 1859 Miss
Keene produced Tom Taylor's play of
Our American Cousin" and as its
success was remarkable and some note
worthy occurrences took place in con-
nection with it. a record of its career
will perhaps be interesting.
The reading took place in the green
room, at which the ladies and gentle
| men of the company were assembled,
| and many furtiye chances were cast at
Mr.. Couldock and myself as the
strength of dbet Murc0H and -dsd
| Trenchard were revealed. Poor
| Sothern sat in the corner, looking
quite disconsolate, fearing that there
was nothing in the play that would suit
| him; and as the dismal lines of Dun-
| drealy were read he glanced over at Inc
with a forlorn expression, as much as
| to say, Il am cast for that dreadful
part" little dreaming that the character
of he imbecile lord would turn out to
be the stepping-stone to his fortune.
The success of the play proved the turn
ing-point in the career of three per-
sons-Laura keene, Sothern, and my
self.
As / have before said, Sothern was
much detected at being compelled to
play the part. He said he could do
nothing with it, and certainly for
the first two weeks it was 4 dull effort.
and produced but little effect. SO in
despair he began to introduce extrava-
giant business into his character, skip
ping about the stage, stammering and
sneezing. and. III short, doing all he
could to attract and distract the atten-
ton of the audience. To the surprise
of every one. himself included, these
antics, intended by him to injure the
character, were received by the audi
ence with delight. He was shrewd
man as well as an effective actor, and
he saw at a glance that accident had re-
vealed to him golden opportunity
He took advantage of it, and with
cautious steps increased his speed, feel
ing the ground well under him as he
proceeded. Before the first month was
over he stood side by side with any
other character in the play; and at the
end of the run he was, in my opinion,
considerably in advance of us all. And
his success in London, in the same
character, fully attests, whatever NAV
be said to the contrary. that as an ex-
travagant, eccentric comedian in the
modern range of comedy he was quite
without Il rival. His performance of
sam which | saw at the Haymarket
Theater in London, was still finer
piece of acting than his Dundreary. 1t
was equally strong, and had the ad-
vantage of the other in not being over
drawn or eXtravagant.-Ihe Century.
