German Compulsory Insurance.

A German law of compulsory insur-
ance on TaGc-carncr3 has been in opcr.
alton for six months, with results that
arc not regarded satisfactory. The
pensions provided for by the measure
arc not over fifty dollars year, md in
order to obtain them the pensioner
must show that he paid insurance rates
for thirty years at least. The old age
pension does not begin before n man is
seventy, and. ms comparatively few
laborcrs reach that age, the investment
seems doubtful. If man has. been

When we remember that only ten

to the world, it is surprising to read
that the missionaries there recently
sold in few weeks four thousand
reading sheets printed in the native
Language. They send word that they
could sell ten thousand copies ut once
if they had them. They say the people
are most anxious to acquire the art OF
reading, and that their eagcrness for

a New Tad Which May Provo Embarrass-
Ing II Carried Too Ear.
The craze for collecting souvenir
spoons is being supplemented by n new
fad-thc collecting of souvenir silver
bells. These bells, says tic New York
News, are made for presentation to
friends who visit New York or other big
cities, and like the souvenir spoons have
fashioned on their handles some design
Or conccit suggestive of the city visited
There is, for instance, the Rip Van
Wmklc bell and the Peter Stuyvesant
bell.
The fad is not likely to become SO
popular rs the souvenir spoons craze, rs
every member of family cal use half
dozen spoons coffee spoons, tea
spoons, table and shcrbct spoons and
spoons for bon bons. Half dozen
bells, however, for each member would
be an embarrassment of riches.
Many souvenir spoons in the principal
cities arc manufactured to commemo-
rate historical places, but the manu-
factrre of bells has notyct gone as far
as that, and they are made rather with
view to presenting to q friend some
suggestive token of q visit to city.
These little bells arc used extensively
also as favoc3 for guests at dinners
and teas somewhat after the fashion of
presenting favors ut German. They
have also been popular. as gifts to
friends going to Europe for use during
the voyage and as rcmembrances OF
folks at homo. The bells, which arc
represented to DC fashioned of solid sill
vcr, retail for nine dollars and ten dol
lars apiece. .s.

ABOUT THE EARrH's HEAT.
Does it Grow Constantly Hotter From the
circumference to the Center.
Goldthwaite's Magazine.


MANY scientific men are devoting their
| lives to finding out all that can be learned
about the interior of this wonderful globe
of ours. One of the interesting problems
on which they are engaged is the depth
and geographical limits of the permanent
w frozen soil. The British association has
collected large amount of data on this
question. 1t has already told us some Gu
rious things, such as the fact that excellent
wheat lands north of Manitoba overlie
frozen earth that never thaws.
Sometimes biologists find strata of rock
that they are able to show must have been
buried ut a remote age 10000 feet under
the surface. These upturned edges of rock,
which some terrible convulsion lifted to
the air, give ua a glimpse Of the condition
of the interior some way below the great
est depth to which we can attain. The
workmen in the deepest mines of Europe
| sweter in almost intoierable heat, and yet
they never penetrated over one seven-thou-
sandth part of the distance from the sur
face to the center of the earth. In the
lower levels of some of The C)mstoCk
mines the men fought the scalding water,
and could labor only three or four hours at
time, until the Sutro tunnel pierced the
mines and drew off some of the terrible
heat which had stood at 100 deg.
The deepest boring ever made, that at
Sperenberg near Berlin, panetrates only
4 lS2 feet, about 1000 feet deeper than
the famous artesian well at St. Louis.
The result of this imperfect knowledge is
that there are more theories and dispute
among scientific men with regard to the
interior of the earth than about any other
problem Of physical science. Some emin-
| mi PHYSICISTS for instance, like Sir
William Thompson. have believed that
the crust of the earth is at least 800 miles
| thick The majority adduce good reasons
