Climate and Morals,

The world is tolerably well mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientifc-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to detail,
what. for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earths surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as a luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth, or with
debilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is a tonic, a sort, of stimulant for truth
fulness. We indeed have in the phrase
''the cold truth" recognition of this.
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity.-Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

City Counselor Will G. Marshall had
big case just before he went into his
Office, and while it was pending he had
to present heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
100000 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand.
"How much are you worth?" he asked
him. The bondsman hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. "Oh,
well, you're worth 500, ,0O0in real estate,
suppose" said Marshall.
"Good gracious, no! Not half Of
that" exclaimed the witness. II guess
I am worth about $20,000."
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
81 am worth 100000" said the man
cody, "but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting 1000 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me for back
taxes if told how much was worth on
the stand. l Ididn't know you was going
to put me on the stand or l should have
warned you" st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

SnecfacIaa In Art.

Among the figures forming part of the
architectural decorations of the interior
of the chapel of Henry VII is one of a
saint reading book and wearing a pair
of spectacles without side strips, and of
the form that used to be distinguished
by the name goggles. Such early eye
glasses were circular in form and were
fixed in rims of leather, connected by a
waist or curved piece Of the same mate
rial. Leather has elasticity enough to
hold the glasses in position on the nose.
Such pair, probably not later than
the time of Charles II of England, is pre-
served in the British museum. These
leather trimmed goggles appear to have
been succeeded by glasses Of the same
shape with rims of tortoise shell and a
steel waist An example of the early
part of the last century, in the original
black fishskin case, shows that there
was difficulty in attaching the waist to
the rim with the requisite firmness.
Hence arose the rims with rigid waist
and side pieces for keeping the specta-
cles in position.
But they were heavy and clumsy,
whether in tortoise shell or horn, and
the difficulty remained of making reli-
able hinge in such brittle material This
seems to have brought into existence
the heavy gold, silver and steel specta-
cles of our grandfathers. - jewelers.

Cinnamon Chew Gum.

Seated together in Broadway car
were five Cinnamon, all chewing gum
It was evidently their first experience
with this deadly form of dissipation, but
they were enjoyingit immensely. They
chewed and champed together and chat
tered away in their native tongue in the
most animated fashion.
The other passengers in the car were
much interested, and watched the mis-
guided Cinnamon intently. The All
Sins were as oblivious to the other pas
sengers as if they were in the fantasy
Of an opium dream.
By their gestures aud gibberish they
made it plain to the spectators that they
were discussing the deep mysteries of
the slot machine from which they had
extracted the gum. They also discussed
the gum itself. They would hold it be-
tween their teeth, stretch it out until it
would break, thrust it back into their
mouths, chewing and chattering all the
time.
A ministerial looking man sitting op-
posite made gesture of disapproval to
one of the Cinnamon. A smile stole into
the slant eyes of the Celestial as he
stopped chewing long enough to remark;

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing.

The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
so as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing chaos.
A chaos is steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them Their edges are gener-
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi-
ton, some of them are "wobblers" The
dufferp passed several unpleasant quarters
of an hour in following the hunter, ex-
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry on
his leg souvenir of one of them.-Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.

Common Sense in Bicycle Riding.

Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department in Outing
says: "There is no doubt about it but
that better air valve must be devised,
made with an alright cap which can
not be detached. Some such device
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages, and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally in use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu-
matte tires how to initiate ard to what
tension-the heavier the man the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
bit of trouble if they would get the
best results out of pneumatic tire"

Bacteria Killed by Electricity.

A1aNANAAl W
The disease producing bacteria may
be killed by q current Of electricity, as
has been shown by experiments with
bottles Of water containing them. By
passing the current from a battery
through a loop Of wire suspended in the
water it was found that small voltage
was sufficient to deprive the most active
bacteria of life. The consumption ba-
cillus died under two and a quarter
volts, while other more hardy species
could not survive more than three volts
and half.
Unfortunately, this electrical method
would be too expensive and troublesome
for the householder to pursue. 1t is sug-
gested, therefore, that cities or water
companies shall perform the entire task,
delivering the water to consumers in a
condition guaranteed harmless. Accord
ing to the plan proposed the killing Of
the microbe is to be accomplished at the
reservoir. Nothing could be easier than
to apply the energy of battery by a
current at one place in the supply pipes
as to kill with absolute certainty every
microbe that passed through in the flow
ing water.
A dynamo with capacity Of 1000
volts would do the work perfectly for
the biggest possible pipe, Staying all the
bacteria going through and rendering
innocuous all the millions of gallons
daily that a metropolis consumes. All
that is necessary is that length of the
pipe shall be made of insulated material,
and through holes in its sides will be in
serted wires representing the poles of the
battery-positive on one side and mega
tive on the other. Set the dynamo going,
and the current springs through the wa
ter, filing it with powerful electric
waves necessarily fatal to all living or.
ganisms floating in the stream.-New
York Telegram.
