"Yes, the sun Is up"
"Why is the sun up?"
"The chief object in the suns rising is to

There IS not a rural town within board
ing distance Of great city which could
not at slight expense assure itself all the
city boarders that it could accommodate
by the simple process Of systematically
and intelligently improving and beautifg-
ing its roads. IL it were TO appoint q town
committee with power to employ experts,
or to obtain expert advice, and to carry out
the suggestions thus obtained in road im-
provement, the mere public advertisement
Of that proceeding would attract hoarders
from an directions The expense would
not be great In nearly every case the
gravel or cracked stone necessary for the
construction Of q serviceable, well drained
road can be obtained within moderate
distance.
There is for example, in some parts Of
Orange county, in New York state, a kind
OF soft red sandstone to be found in great
abundance, which brushes readily under
the wheels and makes a hard, firm road
bed, which is never dusty and never mud
dy, which is yielding to the horses feet
and most agreeable 70 ride over Ordinary
gravel can be used with almost equally
good results. The main thing is to secure
something like scientific knowledge ia the
construction OF the road and In the mix
ture Of materials. The vicious idea that
anybody can make q road by shoveling dirt
into the middle Of Ut from the gutter, or.
what IS the same thing in a wholesale
form, hauling it there by means Of a
"scraper," must be abandoned at the out
set, and not only abandoned but prohibit
ed. Until that is done no reform will be
p0ssible.-Century.

OF all the modes Of burial ever practiced
by creatures in the shape Of human beings
the method Of the Queensland nomads is
certainly the most uncouth. After drying
the corpse ia the sun and knocking out its
teeth for keepsakes, they deposit it on a
framework OF rough poles and bury it I'M
der a few armsful of rushes aud old kan
CARGO skins, leaving the bush wolves to
sing its requiem.
No member of the dead mans tribe will
settle within a mile Of his grave for fear
Of being haunted by the spooks making
the burial place their midnight rendez-
vous The metaphysical opinions of the
Australian aborigines prove, indeed, that
savages can be afflicted with an abundance
of supernaturalism without betraying a
trace of anything deserving the name Of
religious sentiment.
They believe in evil spirits whistling in
the blasts Of the storm wind, and try to
exercise them by splitting in the direction
Of the sky; but for the conceptions of the
deity, of future existence, of repentance,
atonement and conscience, their language
has not even a definite word. From some
where in the land of their forefathers-
eastern Asia, perhaps-they have imported
a notion family resembling the Buddhist
doctrine Of netempsychosis, and believe
that animals may be reborn rs men, and
men as human beings of superior rank.

I The Great Crevasses Of Mount ST. Elias.
Crossing the great spowfeld forming
I the floor of the amphitheater were hun
I dreds of yawning chasms, many of them
/ twenty TO forty feet in breadth and half a
/ mile in length These we had to cross by
narrow snow bridges or follow for long
| distances before being able to pass around
their ends. A view into the blue depths Of
one of these great crevasses is a sight never
| TO be forgotten Their lips are Of white
snow, festonned and oyerarching IN a thou
sand fantastic forms; below, the color
changes by imperceptible gradati0ns to the
deepest blue. Their extreme depths are az
dark in color as the unbelievable sea-
Many times their bottoms are beyond the
reach of vision; again they are level ioore3
and form a fairylike valley, with wallssof
sculptured crystal; in other instances they
are partly filed with water Of the deepest
indigo, in which every detail Of the fretted
walls above is reflected.
Some Of the larger crevasses are crossed
by snow arches, thrown directly from bank
to bank, and resembling in their grand
proportions the natural bridgeof Virginia.
Our way lay for miles across this beautiful
but treacherous pavement along the brink
Of dizzy precipices and across narrow
bridges with bottomless CULTS on each
hand Although we had been living on
the glaciers for weeks and had become IA
miliar with many Of their wonders, the
great crevasses in the upper snow regions
were so magnificent in their proportions
and SO wonderful in color that they called
forth ordinations Of admiration from
every memberof our party. Israel O. Rus

One of the stories Kit Carson used tc
tell, and one he told so often that he must
have thought it possessed some merit, was
of an Indian who visited camp of white
men, and ridiculed their idea Of keeping
warm in the open air The untutored son
of nature claimed that his white brother
built o fire so hot that he could not get
near it without being burned, while the
Indian built a small fire, crept close, and
got all the heat.
OF course, though, he did not get all the
heat And the problem before the mind
of the man who started out in the devel-
opment of what is now the parlor stove
was to get all possible out of the fuel with
out allowing any Of the heat generated to
escape. Up to date he has not quite sue
ceeded in solving the problem.
Even in the best Of stoves fully % per
cent. Of the heat escapes through the chin
ney, and it is doubtful if a time viii ever
come when any heating agent that creates
caloric through the medium Of flame or
combustion will do for heating what the
Edison candle does for lighting. Chicago

ing week at her grandmother's, when
word came Of the arrival in her home of a
baby brother. That night, as grandma
was putting her to bed, she noticed that

in her prayers. She had asked God to
bless her grandmother A. and her
grandmother H, and both grandfathers
by name, all the aunts and uncles by name.
and last her dear father and mother and

house dog and the old barn cat.
"Why, Fanny" said the aggrieved old

signifed that Fanny's petitions were over,
you have not asked God to bless the dear
baby brother"
'No,' cried the child; Il have not. Bell
can do the praying for him. Wide

The biggest of fresh water fishes, the

same popularity. Fishes that swallow
their prey entire have their teeth so sup
ported on flexible bases as to bend back
ward but not forward, in order that their

exist at the present day are one and a half
inches long. Speaking Of extinct creatures
reminds me to say that all of the early
birds-those of early geological times, that

ing descended from reptiles it is natural
that they should possess a dental equip
ment, but when they ceased to be carniv-
orous they had no teeth any longer.-Inter-

up stairs my wife noticed that the balus-
