when Animals Are "charmed. ,,

Kahn mentions having seen rattle
snake "lying at the bottom of tree on
which a squirrel was seated, fixing its
eyes on the little animal, which from
that moment cannot move or escape, but
begins a doleful outcry, comes toward
the snake, runs little bit away, comes
nearer, and finally is swallowed" But,
as if to show that this result of bewil-
derment is not all to be put down to
the. eye alone, DR.. Andrew Smith says:
''I have heard of cases in which ante.
lopes and other quadrupeds have been
so bewildered by the sudden appearance
of croeodiles, by the grimaces and con-
tortions they praeticed, as to be unable
to fly or move from the spot toward
which the crocodiles were approaching
to seize them y
This power is in the human animal
often developed to a very great extent,
and the part that the eye plays in fasci-
mating fellow creature by meslnerism
thus opening the way to almost in
finite psychical results and unveiling un-
known depths of possibility-is decidedly
great in proportion to the magnetic force
of the system, or rather the mind, for
which it acts.-Chambers' Journal.

Where Steel Is Mad Q.

The general aspect of the interior Of a
converting house at night is at once
startling and grandly impressive. Here
heat, flame and liquid metal are ever
present; locomotiyesa whistle and puff,
dragging with clatter and clang huge
ladies of molten iron; the lurid light,
flashing and flaming, that illuninates
the scene, throws shadows so intensely
black that they suggest the "black fire.
Of Milton. for in such place 1t is i'm
possible for q shadow to be cool; half
naked, muscular men, begrimed with
sweat and dust, fit about; clouds of
steam arise from attempts to cool in
some degreesthe roasting earth of the
floor; converters roar, vibrate and vo1nit
flames mingled with 'splashes of metal
from their white hot. throats; at inter
walls the scorching air is filled with a
rain of coruscating burning iron.
Ingot molds lift mouths perched with
thirst that can only be appeased for a
short time by streams of liquid steel that
run gurgling into them; the stalwart
cranes rise, swing and fall, loading scores
of tons Of red hotsteel upon cars of iron;
all these conditions and circumstances
combine to make an igneous total more
suggestive of the realms Of Pluto than
any other in the whole rangesof metal
lurgic arts.--W.-F F. Durfee in Popular
Science Monthly. :

The Ivory Nut in south America.

The ivory nut is grown in the equato-
rial regions in South America. The
principal point of shipment is Colon, on
the Isthmus Of Panama. Like the ba-
mana, the ivory nut is perennial in its
native cline, and may be found in all
stages from the bud to the ripened nut
at all seasons of the year. The nuts
grow in great punches of about fifty in
cased in shell, as are chestnuts in the
burr, though the shell outwardly resem-
bles in roughness the surface of pine
apple. The entire cluster Of nuts in this
shell is as big as a mans head. This
shell comes off easily after the nuts are
ripe. At this stage they fall from the
trees-which are fourteen or fifteen feet
in height-and are packed on the backs
of natives to the points of shipment.
They are about the color of an unwashed
last years potato and as hard as an ele-
plants tusk.-New York Telegram.

Glass and Paste Diamonds.

Of late years paste diamonds, imita-
ton diamonds, quartz diamonds and
glass diamonds have been placed upon
the market in quantities, and it is
difficult to distinguish many of these
from the genuine articles. They are
cut in the most approved style,
and a good quartz diamond, cut in the
shape of a brilliant, makes very effect
i've show. Its value, however, is less
than one-twentieth Of that of diamond
of similar size and shape.
Glass cut in prism shape will illustrate
the value of angles in any transparent
body, and glass diamonds can often be
cut SO that they resemble greatly the
pure water gems. Fine, large diamonds
are so very expensive that many wealthy
people prefer to wear limitations on gen.
eral occasions and leave the genuine
stones for only very important and
special times.-George E. Walsh in New
York Epoch.

Af.nuE Furnaces.

In placing your furnace in your new
house, always remember that lateral
pipes never give out much heat. The
hot air must invariably ascend to pro-
duce current, and therefore we see
very often register in the third story
giving out splendid heat, when in the
extension library, where warmth is par
ticularly desired, the air of the room is
hardly affected at all. In a large coun-
try house it would really be better to
have two small furnaces rather than
one large one. Less coal would be
used to more purpose, and they would
not be much more troublesome to tend
than is one. But if you have two, do
not make the mistake of putting them
side by side, as was done in very large
house near New York. This simply in
tensifed the heat in the same part of the
house without carrying it into the wings,
where it was chiefly needed.-New York
Tribune.

Things Money Cannot BUY.

How much the happiness Of individual
lives is made up of priceless things, un-
salable in the coin Of the land, yet found
quickly when the heart of the searcher
honestly desires them! Many of these
real treasures are qualities that simply
diffuse themselves through the moral
and mental atmosphere, and are some
times little valued, because they seem
too vaporous and too Elusive to be prac-
tically grasped; but they are genuine
possessions and won by heart service.
Who does not rejoice to have an hon
orable name-not necessarily a distin-
guished name, but a clean one? Truly,
pride in such an inheritance, which can
not be bought, is justifiable if with it
there are mingled feeling Of humility
and a desire to do ones own part to
transmit the name as unsuiiied as it has
been bestowed. What makes home love
dearer and sweeter than all else, and
treasured while life lasts! Not the tables
and chairs, not the delicacy of porcelain
or the aesthetic beauty which the loom
achieves.
These minister to the comfort, taste
and artistic nature; but beyond these
there is something which ministers to
the heart and soul, glorifying plain sur
roundings and homely. details-some-
thing illusive to measure or weight, yet
potent to guide, to comfort and to help.
What is this but the sympathy, the
trust, the spirit of sacrifice, the gentle
ness, the faith, the readiness to do and
to bear, which, blended together, make
the chain that binds us to our honest
Harper's Bazaar.

Why a s1osauito Bite Hurts.

Humboldt, who was firm believer In
the poisonous nature of the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out of the
poison to be the explanation Of the pain
lessness Of some wounds. He affirmed
that if the insect were allowed to suck
to safety no swelling took place, and
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced it resulted
from the hasty interruption of the proc
ess of sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not be able to be
Withdrawn. He experimental with one
of the most virulent species, allowing 1t
gently to settle on the back of his hand,
and reports of IT.:
81 observed that the pain, though vio-
lent in the beginning, diminishes in pro-
portion as the insect continues to suck,
and ceases altogether when it volunta-
rily flies away. y."-Knowledge.

An. Aeronaut,s Experience.

A story is told of the thrilling ex-
perience of veteran aeronaut with a
bald eagle and Connecticut constable.
During recent ascension, when at a
height of 5000 feet, the balloonist was
attacked by the eagle. A desperate fight
ensued, which resulted in the eagle being
killed. Half fainting, the aeronaut
descended to terra firma. When he had
recovered he hunted for and found the
dead bird. While he was examining his
prize the constable came along and ar
rested him for killing the bird, for which
offense, he claimed, a fine of $50 is i'm
posed. The aeronaut, it is related, had
more difficulty in escaping punish
ment than he had in killing the bird

The Ancient SchooImaster.

A roll measuring about fifteen feet
long, containing poems hitherto un-
known of Herodius in Seazon or cho-
haInbic meter, has just been exhibited
in the manuscript department of the
British museum. One Of the poems is
entitled :'[The Schpolmaster. A mother
appears before the master called Lam
priscus. She is accompanied by her son,
and entreats the pedagogue to fog him
within an inch of his life because the
boy is the. terror CT her existence. He
has nearly ruined her by playing pitch
and toss, he associates with the lowest
characters Of the town, and if he is
asked to spell the name of Maron he
turns it into Simon; in fact, he has en-
tirely got beyond the control Of his par
ents. Lainpriscus therefore fetches his
instrument of correction, which is made
of cowhide, and applies it without
mercy. The boy howls and promises to
be good, and when the schoolmaster
thinks that the youth has had enough
he tells the mother to keep him close
prisoner for some time to come.-Man-

Maternal Love of the Whale,

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike calf if posi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware of
the snaring of her young she rushes to-
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing the whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless of the har-
poons that are hurled at her and enter
her fesh.-Detroit Free Press.

Weighing MOSQUITOES.

It is told of a great author that he was
wont to amuse himself by jumping over
chair. But l have a correspondent
who, as the following shows, amuses
himself by weighing mosquitoes:
81 have recently weighed some mos
quitoes of this locality on sensitive
balance. The average weight of one
mosquito was 1.27 milligrams-that
is, it would take 100000 to weigh a
pound.
"Mosquitoes which had filled them
selves with human blood were found to
weigh about three times as much as
others, showing that they had swallowed
twice their weight in blood. Boston
