A STUDY OF NOSES.
Some observations by . Noted PhysIoe-

some Observations by . Noted PhysloR-
nomlsI.
Last year Prof. Annie Oppenheim
went to the military exhibition to study
noses says London letter to the New
York Herald, and then made an exam
nation OF the old pensioners in Chelsea.
Every one of them nearly had the
prominent part of the nose at the top, :"
she said. 'When the nose comes bold
~ out at that part it is the sign of an
aggressive spirit. When it projects
more midway it shows q disposition to
resent attack or defend friends, but
without that spontaneous impulse to
combat which you find in the real fight
er and which is conspicuous in all the
portraits of the distinguished generals
or soldiers which one sees.
You can almost tell q PERSONS
character from the nose alone" she re-
marked. ''All great men have great
noses. The Greek nose, which has no
Protuberance, but is straight, argues
great senses of aesthetics, of beauty,
hut no character and no power of con-
tention.
Large nostrils show courage. Poo
pie of fearless disposition breathe fully
and freely. All the fiercer animals
have dilatcd nostrils. The dropping
nostrils show histrionic talent. If the
nose also droops it denotes n tragic
power, and if only the nostrils the
capacity is marked for the interpreter
ton of comedy.
"Wherc the nose is thin at the bridge
1t shows generosity, while n nose that
is thick at the bridge argues acquisitivc-
nc' IS. When it is 'tip-tilted like the
petal of Il flower the person is inquis-
tive. A projecting nose argues dis
position to investigate. 1t is ahead of
the person, as it were, and wants to
scent out things"
Prof. Oppcnhcim delivers lecture
every day at the German exhibition ut
Earl's court in London. She has pub
.iShed one or two works on her pet
science, for, although she has formed
ncr own deductions, they are all based,
not on intuition or instinct, but on an
atomical principles.

UNSOLD BOOKS.
a Peculiar Crisis Which Is Now Startling

Peculiar Crisis Which Is Now Startling
French Dealers.
Paris is experiencing just now q curl
Gus crisis in the book trade. These
arise from time to time, for the pub
fishing trade is no more free from over
production or ''glut" than any other
branch Of commerce. There are about
dozen authors who command the
French market, and some four or five
whose popularity seems incXhaustible.
But the number of novclists is to be
counted not by dozens, but by hundreds.
md still the publishers go on issuing.
y few days ago, says the Chicago Her
aid. the publishers Of one of these pop
nlar authors had forty-fivc Thousand
copies Of his last venture returned to
him. They were Tic volumes that had
been sent to tho different railway sta
lions; there had been scarcely any sale;
they all came back. And yet this au-
thor was very popular.
The explanation is the prevalent plan
Of sending works first through the Dress
rs f"uilIrtons. The novel had lost its
freshness; 1t was discounted before it
WAS issued. The system is found to
tell on the more expensive volumes.
Lately an art publication, an edition de
luxe, magnificcntly brought out, illus
tratod with original engravings, libcr-
ally announced and generously criti-
ciscd, came back to the publisher with
only one copy sold; n second venture,
published at a guinea, obtained n sale
Of six examples, and then tho edition
was sold out ut one and onc-half francs
copy, At present it is understood
that there are three million volumes of
novels on the hands Of Paris publishers
which cannot be got rid of. And this
number grows from day to day. 1t was
oven proposed that these unsuitable vol
nmos should bo distributed at country
fairs rs prizes for children instcud of
gingerbread or sweets, but that the pre-
feet of police intcrfcred and stopped
the practice.

In n Snakc,a Head.

There is belief current in all parts of India that a certain variety of snake called shesh nag. when it attains the age of 1000 years. has precious jewel formed in it's head. The jewel. it is affirmed, possesses the quality of sucking up the poison of the deadliest snake if applied to the wounded part, Strangely enough Parsee gentleman is reputed to possess this invaluable jewel, according to a correspondent of Gujarati weekly, published at Wadh- wan, in Gujarati.
 The correspondent says that when the present owner-who, by the way is now 63--was 23 years old he lighted upon a snake of the aforementioned variety, which he killed, Then he found the jewel in it's head. It has already saved several lives. When Mir. Vidal, the Collector of the District, was there it was shown to him, too. The jewel is said to contain thin crescent-like fiber, which unceasingly oscilates in the center. The galkwar of Baroda, the maharajah of Kolhapur and several of the native Princes are said to have offered several hundred thousand rupees for this unique jewel The name of the owner is Framj Dadabbai Govekar.

The Willy Inventor.

The inventor of the game of chess, on being promised by the king, whom he first taught the game, that he should have any reward he might ask for, meekly replied that he would be content if tho king would give him one kernel Of wheat on the first square, two on the second. four on the third night on the fourth, and so on doub- ling up to the sixty fourth square. The king gladly acceded to this seem- ,ngly modest request, and ordered his attendants to bring in the wheat which they began to do; but to the aston ishment of the monarch, it was found that there was not wheat enough in the whole dominion to pay of the crafty inventor. It would require 9. 627, 26s, 7s6, 93i, 775, l6s kernels, an equivalent to 30,027, o97, 1Si, 4S5 bushels.

CHEMISTRY OF THE SUN.
variOus Elements, Familiar In the Earth.
 Thought to Be Absent.

| Thought to Be Absent.
 In connection with the photography
 of the solar spectrum considerable ad l.
 vances have been made in the recog-
 milton of the chemical elements present | in the sun. Copper silver and vana- i dium have been transferred from tho | list of the doubtful metals there to tho | certain; and very recently Rowland | has found clear evidence of the pres-
 ence of silicon, the apparent absence
 of which has bsen long a standing | puzzle.
 The evidence in favor of tho presence
 of carbon also seems to gain strength. | and the same Is true in the cases of | aluminium. cadmium and zinc. The fact that the lines which reveal the presence of silicon are almost entirely
 in the ultraviolet, invisible portion of
 the spectrum, warrants the expectation
 that photography may soon find there
 evidence of some of the other still
 missing elements. such as boron. phosphorus and sulphur.
 But no new light yet appears in
 reference to the mysterious absence from the sun of oxygen. nitrogen and chlorine, which play so important a
 part in the chemistry of the earth;
 except indeed, that the results ob- tained by Jansen last summer on the
 summit of Mont Blanc are conclusive
 that the great "B" line of oxygen, which is so conspicuous in the solar spectrum when tho sun is near the horizon, is entirely of earthly origin, and not in the least solar, writes Pro- lessor Young, of Princeton, to the Youths Companion.
 The veteran astronomer, still enthu- siastic and full of pluck, though unable
 to endure any severe physical exertion had himself carried by small army of guides and porters to the very summit of the mountain. and there obtained decisive observations.
 As regards the phostosplleren- luminous surface of the sun-and sun spots there is little new to note.
 Japssen, at Meudon. has made real improvements in the processes of pho-
 tographing the spots and the details of
 the solar surface and recent observa-
 tions of the displacement. of the lines
 of the spectrum at the eastern and
 western edges of the sun, made by
 Duner, of Upsala, have confirmed the
 laws of the suns swifter rotation at the equator-a. law which, though first
 discovered more than thirty years ago.
 has recently been called inquest Il.
 It still remains as much of myste- " as ever how the great cavities which
 we see as spots come to be formed in
 the suns surface, why they are so lim-
 ited to tte two zones on each side of the suns equator, and why they show such regular increase and decrease in numbers every eleven years.

CURIOUS LAKE RUKWA.
It Has No Outlet and Seems to Bs Grad-
 ualiy Shrinking.

This mysterious lake is about onv hundred miles long and from thirty to forty miles wide. The lake lies in barren and inhospitable country, in which respect it forms great con- trast with the surrounding regions, which are among the most fertile and prosperous of Africa. The lake is east of Lake Tanganyika and about sixty miles from it, in about longitude 32 deg. east of Greenwich. Tho parallel of degrees south latitude crosses the lake. and the sheet of water extends much more to the south and east than is indicated by the dot ted lines on our maps. The natives say it would take many days to go around the lake in canoe. but they never do SO owing to their enemies. Its waters are dark in color, brackish. muddy, and quite undrinkable. A boy who went into the lake to briG a specimen of it's water to Mir. Cross had to go distance of 800 yards before he could fill his bottle and then he was knee deep in mud. The lake is ap-
 
 much greater lake. says writer in Goldthwaite's Geographical MagaAne. Trees were pointed out to the explorers as having few years ago been at the waters edge though they were now several miles from the lake. There are no hippopotam, crocodiles or canoes in the dark. uniuviting waters, as far as Mir Cross could ascertain. The pud on the shores is really a form of lime and is covere1 with a crustaceous deposit of white salt. There had been no rain in tho neigaborhood for two years and tho Sonqua river. which enters the lake. seens to lose itself to great extent in the sand as it appro oaches the lake. It Ipay be inferred, therefore, that Lako Rukwa is rapidly evaporating. All the natives affirm that there is no outlet. and Mir. Cross thinks this ii undoubtedly the fact.

EDUCATED BABOONS.
Tho Hottentots Say They Could Talk II
 They Only Would.

They Only Would.
 The Hottentots say that baboons can talk. only they will not for fear they will have to work, and there cer- tainly is but little work to be got out of those cunning hands Nevertheless we read of some balloons who have been taught to do useful work. There was an obituary notice year or moro ago in all the Cape papers of che of these trained balloons. well known in the colony who used to act as signal man on the railway, in place of his master, who was lame. The story was doubted by the English papers. which copied it; but we have met with many people who have seen the animal at his work. Mrs. Carey Hobson. too, in one of her pleasant little South Afri- can Stories, tells of baboon which had come under her notice. which had been taught to ride after Dutch Boer as groom. and to dismount and hold tho horse by sitting on the bridle when his master went into a house; and we have seen a troupe of monkeys of various kinds taught to do a great many curious tricks. says Chambers Journal; but in these, again. they have been rivaled by dogs.
