When song was struck up by our party, l
thought the Fuegians would have fallen down
with establishment With equal surprise they
viewed our dancing; but one of the young
men, when asked, had no objection to little
Waiting. Little accustomed to Europeans
as they appeared to be, yet they knew and
dreaded our firearms; nothing would tempt
them to take gun in their hands They
begged for knives, calling them by the Spanish
word cuchilla. They explained also what
they wanted, by acting as if they had piece
of blubber in their mouths, and then pretend
ing to cut instead Of tear it.
1t was as easy to please as 1t was difficult
to satisfy these savages Young and old,
men and children, never ceased repeating the
word yammerschooner, which means ''gye
me-" After pointing to almost every object,
one after the other, even to the buttons on
our coats, and saying their favorite word in
as many intonations as possible, they would
then use it in neuter sense, and vacantly
repeat yammerschooner. After yammer-
schoonering for any article very eagerly,
they would by a simple artifice point to their
young women or little children, as much as
to say, "If you will not give 1t me, surely
you will to such as these. n-"Darwin on the
Fuegians and Patagonians" in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

The Echo.

Did you ever figure on til Iexact distance
that one may be removed from rejecting
surface and yet hear the echo of his own
voice2 1t is said that ore cannot pronounce
distinctly or hear distinctly more than five
syllables in a second. This gives one-ffth
of a second for each syllable. Taking 1,120
feet as the velocity of sound per second, we
have 294 feet as the distance sound will
travel in one-ffth of second. Hence, If a
rejecting surface is 112 feet distant, the in
itial sound of an uttered syllable will be re-
turned to the ear from distance of 112
feet, just as the next syllable starts ON its
journey.
In this case the first fifth of the second is
consumed in the utterance of syllable and
the next fifth of the second in hearing its
echo Two syllables would be echoed from
a rejecting surface 294 feet distant, three
syllables from 1856 feet, and so ON within
the limit of audibleness. 1t is evident that
sharp, quick sound, the duration of which
is only one-tenth of a second, would give
an echo from half the distance, or fifty-six
feet. The above estimates are for a tenn
sperature of 61 degs Fahrenheit, at which
the velocity of sound is little over ,118
feet in second. The velocity of sound
when the mercury stands at freezing is 1,0S6
feet per second.-St. Louis Republic.

"Then in five minutes from now would
like very much to hear you repeat this
verse;" said the minister, handing him the
book and pointing out the ninth verse Of
the eighth chapter of Esther;
"Then were the kings scribes called at
that time In the third month, that is, the

that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews,

according to the writing thereof, and unto

with confidence, but at the end of an hour,
to his modification, he could not repeat it
without slip.

He made his appearance first in the rotunda
of the great building and seemed to be in
tently gazing at the paintings in that large
hall, His face was the facsimile of Ran
dal's when the Pennsylvania was last at
the Capitol. The double dressed like him
and even affected his walk. He seemed to
enjoy the attention he attracted and re-
manned in the corridors near the house of
representatives nearly all day.
About Inauguration time the man that
looked like President Harrison seemed al
most ubiquitous. EXPresident Cleveland
even had his double, and at one time a
newspaper correspondent saw him in the
street and attempted to interview him
When prominent senator makes a great
speech his double is always sure to turn up
the next day and parade about the Capitol
1t was strange, but, after Kincaid shot Elk
Congressman Taulbee, it seemed as if you
met Kincaid's double in every street car or
hotel you entered. Kincaid had peculiar
appearance, and the frequency of his
doubles became matter of comment

they discover their error,-Cor, New York

Take Note of the DANGER signal,

A nervous headache is a danger signal, II
it be frequent the danger is increased; II 1t
be continuous a catastrophe is imminent.
The driver must put on his brake at all haz-
ards or be will probably soon have leap for
his life. There are very few sets Of circum-
stances in which It is q mans duty to go on
with his work when he is in this condition, at
all risks. Even a threatened bankruptcy mad
better be risked than threatened life. Be-
sides, a man who is in the unyielding grip Of
a permanent nervous headache is not really
the best judge Of his own circumstances. He
magniies and distorts things amazingly He
takes counsel Of his fears and abandons his
hopes and courage altogether. Rest, imme-

The End of the world Calculated.

A French statistician who has been study
ing the military and other records with =
view of determining the height OF men at
different periods, hQs reached some wonder
full results,
Tho recorded facts extend over nearly
three centuries IL is found that in 1910
the average height of man in Europe was
/. 10 meters, or say 3 feet inches. In 1'9O
81 was feet inches. In 1870 IL was feet
3 inches and fraction. At the present tins
81 is feet inches and threequarters. IL
Is easy 10 dcduce from these figures at a
rate Of regular and gradual decline In
human stature and then 10 apply this,
working backward and forward, TO the past

BY this calculation it is determined that
yhe stature Of the first men attained the
surprising average of 10 feet inches.
Truly there were giants on the earth in

aug down to later times we find that at the

man was feet, and in the time OF Charlie

Driven to Suicide by His victims Ghost


John II. Smith, giant oil well driller,
of Pittsburg, committed suicide by tying
a fire escape rope around his neck and
swinging himself out of the third story
window of Boley's hotel, on Diamond
street. The noise of his dead body swing
ing against one of the windows led to the
discovery Of the act.
Smith was feet inches in height, and
was known throughout the oil country as
Murderer John Smith" He was very
gloomy at all times, and other drillers
would not work with him, as he was looked
upon as Jonah. Many years ago he and
a companion killed man at Edenburg,
Clarion county. Smith turned states evil
dence and was released. His companion
fed and was never captured. Ever since
Smith was said to have been haunted by
the ghost of his victim, and has attempted
to commit suicide in several different ways
Once he tried to shuttle off by the aid of
a can of dynamite, but was caught and his
life saved. Another time he contemplated
self destruction and three revolyers were
taken from him. Again he walked into
the river. He tried to borrow revolver
from the clerk of another hotel than the
one at which he was stopping, but it was
refused. Then he went to Boley's and
