Certain Beasts In winter.

1t may be stated more specifically here
that among the alternating animals
every graduation of slumber has been
noted. Some creatures display only i'm
perfect Information or repose, waking,
moving and feeding now and again dur
ing the winter; others may show signs
of life few times in three or four
months, while the remainder, as | have
said, appear as if they are dead. If you
disturb the most venomous viper in
winter, and he stings, no harm will
come of it.
But many of the alternating animals
perish when the weather is excessively
cold, unless warmly housed. The ami.
NAL temperature falls to that of the at
mosphere, and when the cold becomes
intense the animal is wakened by it,
moves about for a short time, then re.
lapses into torpor which speedily ends
in death. A curious fact is that the ac-
ton of the heart has been known to con.
tinue frequently for a considerable time
after the hibernating animal has been de-
capitated.-Anima Friends.

Adobe Houses.

The adobe houses of Arizona and New
Mexico are not built from ignorance,
but from regard for comfort. They
are, for that climate, the warmest in will
ter, and in summer the coolest that can
be constructed. The adobe is only mud
made of the loamy clay; the bricks are
about sixteen inches long by nine or
ten in width, and eight in thickness.
They are sun dried, and after the house
is begun, and the walls are reared to
height of two or three feet, they are
left for week in order to dry, the pro-
cess of building and waiting continuing
until the house is constructed Then
the walls are plastered within, the roof
put on, and the house left for two or
three weeks before the occupants move
in. The small cost and little trouble
with which an adobe house can be built,
together with its superior comfort, ren-
der it the favorite structure i'll tropical
North America, and long time will
elapse before it is superseded either by
wood, brick or stone.

People of the Earth.

Exactly how many people there are in
the world it is impossible to say, since no
census is taken of many populous coun-
tries, like China, while the number of
people who live in the jungles of Africa
can only be guessed at.
AS long ago as 1866, Benin, a leading
German authority, estimated the popula-
ton of the earth at 1 400 900, 900.
In 1880 the same authority set the fig
ures at about 100, 900, 900 more. lie dill
lot base the new estimates on the natural
increase of the people of the world, but
explained that more accurate figures
and estimates had enabled him to guess
more closely.
Two years later Mr.. Benin estimated
the earth's population at $4,000, 600 less
than in 1880, the decrease being ac-
counted for by the fact that new invest:
CATIONS had compelled the reduction of
the estimated population of China from
something over 400, 0,000,0 900 to 350,0O0,-
300.
Probably the estimate for the yea"
1891, made by learned German statisti.
clan, is the most nearly accurate of any
yet made-1 ,4SD, 900, 900.
1t is believed that the worlds popula-
ton is increasing at the rate of nearly
j,OO0 OO0o a year.
The most populous Continent is Asia,
which contains two countries-China
and India-whose swarming millions
outnumber the people of all the othe.
countries of the Continent.
The most densely peopled Continent is,
of course, Europe. The number of peo-
pie in Europe is known with great de-
gree of accuracy. There are about three
hundred and sixty million; and the Con-
tinent which accommodates all these
people is so small that there are upon an
average ninety three people to the square
mile.
The people upon the two continents Of
North and South America. without the
Arctic regions. are less than 122, 900, ,O0c
in number, or only eight to the square
mile.
When America is as densely populatec
rs Europe, this half of the world will
have population of nearly 400, 600, ,OOG
practically the same as that of the
whole world at the present time

Prices Paid for Works of Art.

The great Italian masters of the Re-
Nuisance period received very much less
than the French painters of our oWr
time are able to command. Incredible
as it may seem, no common decorator
Of to-day would accept the wages
which Michael Angelo was content to
receive for his stupendous achievements
For his work on the Medici Chapel. iE
Florence, he was allowed only one GOLD
dorin-about $2-a day. For the whole
Sistine ceiling he got but 5000 ducats, OF
say $4,000. For the colossal David. !"
when completed, he was paid 144 gold
.lorins, or less than $500. The sum paid
20 the Caracci for the whole of the su
Herb frescoes which adorn the Frame %
Palace at Rome was about $500. Correg.
gio received only / 100 ducats go 2JO) for
the whole cupola of San Giovanni, at
Parma, as well as for the chapel and
choir. For The Marriage at Cana, now
in the Louvre, Paul Veronese got a
sum equivalent to no more than 5000.
Somewhat better prices were paid to
Raphael, but he would have been astou'-
ded had he been told that in 1897 soma
5000 900 would be asked for his great al
tar piece now in the British Museum.

Did you ever see anything like this ?"
said Mr.. E. +. Kirby, ticket agent of the
East Tennessee road, as he held up a
peach seed as large as mans fist.
We'll, l know you haven't. There's a
peach inside of the seed, and the tree on
which the peach grew is the only peach
tree that | ever heard of that, instead Of
growing the seed on the inside of the
peach, grows the peach on the inside Of
the seed. Some years ago, while | was
visiting in southern Georgia, | grated a
peach tree on an Australian cherry tree.
The twig bore fruit, but the fruit APP
parently WAS nothing but seeds. 1t was
not disturbed, however, until they had
grown very large, when one of the seeds
was pulled and broken open. On the in
idle was a perfectly formed green peach.
After that none of the seeds ere dis
,urbed until they had changed color
rom light brown to black. Then one Of
them was broken open and a ripe peach
of a light yellow color was found inside. I"

Magic Glass.

One of the most,culiolIs inventions 0t
this inventive age is what is called pIa-
tinized glass. A piece of glass is coatcd
with an exceedingly thin layer of IA
liquid charged with platinum, and is
then raised to a red heat The platinum
becomes united to the glass in such IL
way as to form q very odd kind of
mirror.
The glass has not lost its transparency,
yet if one places It against wall and
looks at it he sees his image as in an or.
dinary looking-glass. But when light s
allowed to come through the glass from
the other side, as when it is placed in
window, 1t appears perfectly transparent
like ordinary glass.
BY constructing window Of platinizel
glass one could Stand close behind the
panes, in an illuminated room, and he.
hold clearly everything going on outside,
while passers-by looking at the window
would behold only fine mirror, or set
would be reflected, while the person in-
side remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
cOntrived with the aid of this glass. In
one a person, seeing what appears to be
an ordinary mirror, approache5 to look
at himself. A sudden change in the
mechanism sends light through the glass
from the back, whereupon it instantly
becomes transparent, and the startled
spectator finds himself confronted by
some grotesque f. lure which has been
hidden behind the magic glass. What
wonders might not a magician Of the
dark ages have wrought if he could have
had ninne of nlntinIZed glass?

gence that he had found a black rhi-

eagerly in search of the coveted game.
After skirting through the heavy tim.

thick clump of bushes, and presently
became aware of the sound of heavy
breathing.

which beggars description, as the crea-

in the shrilest tones. This movement
may have been the result of the con

it may have arisen from desire to
discover from what direction it had re-
ceived its injury. While this perform
ance lasted it was impossible for me
to put in the second barrel, but at last

sided into long drawn breathing. The
wound was mortal, but is!led to put

The Harrison movement is
utilizing a variety of motives and in
terests, says the Virginia (Nev.) En-.
terprise, but it seems very much like
a for'orn hope. A number OF possi-
bilities were considered, notably Mr..
Reed of Maine. He would have
liked the nomination, but circum>
stances over which he has no control
make 1t out of the question for him to
get all the anti. ad ministration
strength. Others also have fallen out
of the list Of availables considered bv
the opposition, and the latest news is
that the combination against Harrison,
including all parties ia interest, will,
if any actual effort is made, concen.
trate on Senator Sherman as the man
with whom to "down the President"
1t is scarcely to be supposed that Har>
rison can now be defeated for the
nomiu alton, but if he is by q coalition
with Sherman at its head the result
may not be entertaining but it will be
politically instructive to the silver
men.
