The Population Of Greenland.

1t seems by a recent report OF
the Danish Statistical Bureau that the
census of Greenland in 1890 showed a
total population OF 1916, of which 800
were Europeans. the remaining 10, 207
being natives. Since 1880 the increase
has been five per cent, the greatest
growth being in North Greenland. In
one of the COLONIES" that of Godhavn,
the increase has reached thirty-tive per
cent. Nearly the whole of the European
settlers are found in the south. As has
always been the case, the women greatly
outnumber the men. This is especially
true of Southern Greenland, owing to
the fact that the milder climate allows
hunting and fishing from the kayak to
be carried on both winter and summer.
During each of the last decades the
number of accidental deaths in this &C.
cupation has averaged 200 in the south
to City or sixty in the north. With re-
gard to occupations, 1868 persons are
engaged in the whale aud seal fisheries.
365 are ordinary fishermen, thirty three
are METERS, forty-seven are hunters, and
three are cattle owners, this last industry
having been introduced into Southern
Greenland during the year 1890.-Lon-

POSITION They are of a beautiful fawa
color, with black muzzles, and the kit
tens always have a peculiar kink in their
tails Unfortunately, they are remark
ably delicate, their flesh being attacked
| by parasitic worms.
1t is very curious fact that white
cats of the short-haired kind with blue
| eyes are nearly always totally deaf.
Sometimes those of the same breed with
yellow eyes are similarly afflicted. One
! might suppose that such defect would
be OF no consequence to the owner, but
the fact is that, because their deafness
prevents them from hearing their own
voices, their mswing is intolerable to
listen to, taiSlng the shape of horrible
yells Such cats are only suitable for
deaf old ladies. The origin of the tail
less cats of the Isle of Man is puzzle.
1t may be that they were derived from
ancestors who happened to have their
tails cut off. Such mutilations are some
times reproduced by heredity, as has
been the case with the short. tailed sheep
dog. The cats figured on ancient Eeyp-
tan monuments are supposed to have
been of the same variety as that which is
common in Abyssinia to-day. 1t is not
possible to determine this question with
certainty, because, although millions of
these cats have been preserved as mum
mics, the color of the hair cannot be
distinguished.
Black cats have much more electricity
in their fur than any Others. This may
be one reason why so many super
stitions have attached to them. From
time immemorial popular belief has at.
tributed to them necromatic power.
They were supposed to be employed by
wizards, whose martyrdom in flames
and by drowning they often shared.
Their appearance has been thought to
portend death, and to this day children
in Germany are taught to regard them
as omens of evil and to avoid them. I'm
questionaDly black cat with its coat
and tail s'set up" and its form distended,
its round yellow eyes aglow with anger,
presents an uncanuy appearance. Sail
ors' wives used to keep black cats to in-
sure the safety of their husbands at sea.
Faith in their value for such purposes
rendered them so precious that they were
commonly stolen. Anotherudd notion
was expressed in verse, as follows:

TIE Sleep OF Animals.

The sleep of winter and that of night

torpid for months. The bat, the hedge
hog, the tawrie, the marmot, tho ham.
ster, the tortoise, the toad, snake, mol.
lusca, spiders, bees, flies, bears, badgers.
etc., retire to their closed holes, and in
various degrees undergo temporary
death for four, five, six and seven
months of the year. They usually roll
themselves up, but the bats suspend
themselves in caves. Those who lawn
provisions use them before they become
torpid and on reviving before they ven.
ture abroad. Their temperature lowers2
their respiration is less frequent. and at
times their circulation is reduced; thew
lose their feeling, their digestive organs
are inactive and they suffer loss of
weight. The confined air in which thew
shut themselves, added to the cold. il
one cause of their torpidity. Facts lead
to the belief that some birds hibernate.

What Color Is the Sun,

One Of the shining lights of astronom-
ical science has this to say in regard to
the color of the sum: 81 firmly believe
that the true color of the sun is blue.
1t may be asked: what suggests the
idea of old Soils cerulean hueg NV
own attention was turned in that direc.
ton years ago, while measuring the heat
and light from different parts of the
suns disk. 1t is known that the sun
has an atmosphere of its own, which
tempers its heat, and by cutting off Ger.
tain radiations and not others produces
the spectral line with which we are SO
familiar. These lines we usually study
in connection with the absorbing vapors
Of sodium, iron, etc., which produce
them; but my own attention was partic.
ularly given to the regions of absorption
or to the colors it caused. In these in
vestigations l found that the suns body
must be of deep blue color, and that
1t would give out blue light except for
the solar atmosphere. The suns atmos-
phere Gas we'll as that of our own little
world) is usually spoken of as being
colorless, but it really plays the part Of
a reddish veil, letting little of the blue
appear on the center OF the suns disk
and staining the remainder red, so as to
appear as being of a pale aquamarine in
the center and a deep garnet at the
edge. Were it not for the intervention
OF our own atmosphere and that of the
sun we would have blue sunshine and the
great orb itself would appear as being
OF a brilliant cerulean hue. Chicago

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Gadsdeu furnace is running on
full time.
The milers' combine has decided
that all flour mills shall be shut down
four weeks in every year.
The Mountain mills cotton factory
will be moved to Florence, liberal in
ducements having been offered for it.
AT Phoenixville, Pa, a 10 per cent
reduction has been ordered by the
Phoenix iron company in all the mills
and shops of the plant.
The Scatchered lumber company at
Decatur, are putting their machinery
and plant in good condition for long
run. They have contracted for about
two million feet of logs.
The machinery for the bent wood
works at Admission, is about all in 20
sltion, and the establishment is in run
ming order. 1t will probably not start
up, however, until the first of the
year.
A basket factory at Guntersville,
Ala, is reported to be in very thirty
ing condition. A ware room extension
30x40 feet has recently been added.
Native hickory is largely used in the
mill.
Efforts are being made to start a cot
ton factory in Tuskegee, Ala. The
| leading capitalists and business men
of the town have taken the matter in
| hand, and will make it success.
They are encouraged by the experience
of the factory at Union Springs.
No town in Alabama takes more
pride in its cotton mill than Union
Springs. The Importance attached bv
the town to the mill and the good that
it does ought to be an inspiration to
other towns to follow so praiseworthy
an example. The Union Springs
Mill is adding $4,000 worth of new
machinery.
Upon request of the trade and labor
council of Birmingham, Ala, the bar
| bers' union has adopted the following

cents. Wages paid are S12 per week
and 90 pei cent of all money taken in
by the boss over $50 per day.
The first experimental run at the
rejuvenated Henderson steel works,
Birmingham, Ala, was made the
past week and was pronounced sue
cess. Much depends on the issue Of
this remodled plant. Steel, and good
steel, was made in Birmingham long
ago. The owners of this plant be-
lieve they have gotten to the point of
commercial success. Experts say
so. In few more days this plant

When fishing in one place becomes
irksome to the dog, he moves cautiously
about looking for crabs among the
patches of seaweed which dot the river
bottom. With dainty thread he moves
along, peering into the placid water and
gently disturbing the seaweed beneath
which Turk the larger crabs. All day
the animal pursues this peculiar pleasure,
and J. A. BUTLER, who hires rowboats
rearby, is authority for the statement
that the dog ''crabs twenty three hours
out of the twenty. -four"
People who see the animal standing
quietly in the water often express the
belief that he is admiring himself in the
mirrorlike surface of the river, but they
are always strangers who do not know
that the dog is the champion crab catcher
