Longevity.

Various theories aiming to the pro-
Iongation OF life have been started
from time to. time; changes OF climate
and diet to, suit different periods of
life. certain foods and drinks to be
avoided, and some 90 so far as to
point out the particular sort of hus-
band or wife one should marry who
wished to live to a good old age. Such
theories are seldom borne ont by in
stances in sufficient number to prove
their worth. Locality does not APP
pear to exercise so great an influence
in determining length OF life as one
would imagine for We find as many
centenarians who were born and bred
amid the smoke and fogs of insanitary
cities as in the open country, blessed
with those great aids to health, clear
air and pure water. NJ. Flourens
states that the length of life in all ami
mails is a multiple tfive) of the length
O, growth, which period terminates
e'when the bones become united to
their epiphyses. Thus assigning
twenty years for slrch period. he
argues that one hundred years is a
normal limit of life. People may sbe
doubtful OF the virtues claimed for

measuring the Growth of Plant,

Mr. II, Darwin, of the Cambridge
Scientific Instrument Company, has
devised a "cup-micrometer' for meas
uring the rate of growth Of a plant.
A thread is attached to the upper
end OF the plant, and passes over n
pulIy: 10 its lower end is fastened a
weight, which descends as the plant
increases in height. The amount OF
its descent is a measure ofthe vertical
growth OF Elephant, and it is obtained
very exactly by means OF the micro.
meter in question,

Rrahnntn Family LIE.

A Brahmin official considers that
Hindoo family life is vastly superior
to that of the English family. The
Hindoo rigidly observes the laws OF
hospitality, and in the house the whole
internal management OF the family de-
ponds upon the woman. The Hindoo
considers the kitchen as a sacred place,
and in it no one is allowed to wear
shoes, Even in the richest families the
woman consider it pride to perform
the kitchen duties. and no llindoo
would take food unless it was prepar-
ed by female who has come from u
good family, and who is chaste and
high-minded 4 Hindoo wife is faith
full 10 her husband both during his
HE and after his death The sublime
tenderness of the Hindoo marriage tie
is quite incomprehenslblet to ordinary
European understanding No religious
service is perfect unless the wife takes
her share in it. Divorce is not known
in Hindoo law, nor is there any such
thing among the Hjndoos The whole
seli.adjusting machinery OF tho family
life works with perfect hprmouy.--

The Most Familiar Mineral.

If one were to ask his friends what
mineral we are most familiar with and
most commonly used as food the an
swers would probably be both varied
and amusing. Salt would, fancy, first
suggest itself to many, and to those
whose training in physiology and by
giene has not been neglected no doubt
the claims of lime and iron and carbon,
which in one form or another we use
with food to build up bone and Drawn,
would be amply urged. But, after all,
it is water, for water is minerals
fused mineral. You will find it de-
scribed as such, along with quartz and
topaz and the diamond, in Dana's sNlin-

Steaks OF Buffalo Meat.

1t is not often than Kansas Cityans
have an opportunity to get succulent
buffalo steak, but they have it now. An
East Twelfth street butcher has just re-
ceived the carcass of an overwild buff
falo from British Columbia, and yes
terday the butchers knife touched it for
the first time. The meat will be re-
tailed at thirty cents a pound. Ten or
fifteen years ago buffalo meat was plen-
tiful here, and at the beginning of each
winter hundreds of Kansas City fami-
lies slowed away hind quarter in the
cellar
That was before the animals began to
be thinned out on the plains between
eastern Kansas and the Rocky noun
tains. The few that escaped the slaugh-
ter of the hunter and the plainsman
went north into the British territory,
and even there it is rare thing for one
of them to be killed. The East Twelfth
street butchers buffalo was very large
specimen and was covered with coat
of long and unusually fine hair.-Kansas

To Rsyolutionine rrottIng.

A we'll known Santa Rosa horseman
has scheme for trotting horses which
promises to beat the ''scoot' track all to
pieces as an important factor in aiding
horse to obtain a fast record. He is
planning sulky that will not only run
itself, but will push the horse along
bit too. He says it is to be built on the
plan of the watch. 1t will have big coil
springs. to. drive the wheels and he con-
tends that it will revolutionize trotting.
Right under the drivers seat the springs
will be located, and it is his intention to
have things so nicely adjusted that
when he wishes to go 2:l0 gait all he
will have to do is to set it at the 2:10
figure and it will do the rest. When
wound up the sulky will run one mile
and half A very clever feature Of
the sulky is the self winding apparatus.
BY simply touching u little spring near
his stirrup the driver can make the
wheels wind up the spring, and, by
hand device, he can throw them out
of gear when the Indicator tells him
that the spring has been wound up to
the proper tension. Thus in scoring
whatever power is lost can be regained
And it is so arranged that the power can
be turned on at will by the driver. The
gentleman claims everything for this in
vention. He says it will transform the
slowest scrub into world beater and
make three minute horse able to go
2:0S4 record. The inventor apparently
had nothing green in his eyes when he
was talking about his wonderful sulky,
but time and developments will tell
whether he has been indulging in too
many air castles or not-Santa Rosa Re-
