The Moonstone Hoax.

It is said that the moonstone hoax has made it's reappearance. The method is so old and so we'll known that it is wonder to jewellers that it mas survived to this time. The hunter for moonstoneS finds a white and al- most transparent pebble. He takes it to lapidary who is conveniently near by, who says it is a very fine moon stone, and that he will polish and fin ish it nicely for one dollar. The pebble is left to be polished, and at the time appointed the finder calls, pays the lap idary the dollar and receives the genu- inc moonstone which has cost the lapi- dary forty cents. The lapidary has sixty cents profit, the finder has a real moonstone and the beach has the pebble, which awaits picking up by so ne other dupc.

FROM THE MOON.

 the Lunar World. It is evident that to lunar observer the disk of earth appears to be equal t about sixteen areas of the solar Gisl. says the New York Times. The sclai disk, as seen from earth, is on an aver age equal to the lunar disk seen iron the same point, for, in a solar eclipse the disk of the moon covers the sun g. in an annular eclipse. Therefore tl apparent size of the bodies must aver age about equal in size to a terrestrif observer. Again, the solar disk wi appear to the lunar observer just cquG to what it seems to be when seen fror earth, because the distance from [, sun to the moon averages equal to th>. distance from tho sun to earth. Further more, the diameter of the earth equal to about four lunar diameters and of course the area of their disk vary as the square of their radii, an, this makes the terrestrial disk abou equal to sixteen lunar disks, and, course, if the lunar disk is equal to tl solar disk at given distance, then t. terrestrial disk will seem to be abou sixteen times as great at the same dis tance.
 This enormous disk of earth must b, blue in color to the lunar observer, be cause earth's atmosphere is blue, anc all things seen through it seem bluc Even interstellar space seems blu through this medium, and the unillum mated parts of the moon cannot he dis tinguished from the space that abuts ii Bright, direct and reflected light is nc affected appreciably by it's passag through our atmosphere; therefore stars, moonlight and distant illumina- lions are not noticeably blue from that aauca

Enormous Quantities Consumed in Thb Country.
 The supply of chestnuts never equals the demand in this country, and many districts in which the trees are abun- dant derive a very respectable income from the sale of the nuts. This indus try might be made far more productive and profitable than it now is by some little effort toward cultivation. The chestnut cannot be grown successfully on heavy clays, wet soils or limestone land. It prefers loose, sandy soils, or such as has been derived from the G,.- composition of slates and shales. It is grown readily from the seed, but the greatest care must be taken not to let the nuts become dry. They should be planted as soon as gathered or kept in moist sand until ready to plant The nut should be planted where the tree is to stand, as the long tap root makes transplanting difficult. The European chestnut is not only much larger and finer than the American. but has pro- duccd, under cultivation, q number of varieties, some of which are highly esteemed for the superior quality of their fruit. The trees do not grow so large as tho American, but come into bearing moro quickly; the latter does not generally fruit until ten or twelve years old. A Japanese variety has been introduced into the states, which. though not very hardy, is quite dwarf in hAbit, and. while beginning to fruit at four or five years, produces nuts larger even than the European. These two charactcrs-small size and early fruitfulncss-give them special value, and if they can be worked upon stocks of the American species trees can be secured which will bear earlier and produce larger nuts than our native SnacieS

St. Vinifred's We'll.

One of the most copious springs in Great Britain is tho famed St. Wini- fred's well, near the town of Holywell
 in Flintshire. The we'll is an oblone square, about twelve feet by seven, and its water, say the people of the district, has never been known to freeze. This latter assertion may be true, as, be- sides containing a fair percentage of mineral matters that lowers it's freez- ing point, the well is inside beautiful chapel, which was erected over it by Queen Margaret, the mother of Henry VII. The water thrown up is not less than eighty-four hogsheads every min ute, and the quantity appears to vary very little either in drought or after the heaviest rain, showing doubtless that it's primitive sources are numerous and widely distributed. St. Winifreds has been the object of many pilgrimages.

When the English FiShmOnger Begins to
 Bawl Language Lovers Take Day Of:
 There is considerable slang and good natured chaffing among the buyers and sellers in the London Billingsgate, but one is not overwhelmed by that torrent of foul language he has been taught to expect from his associations with the word. The best time to visit the mar ket is On Friday morning. The wooden. barn-looking square where the fish is sold is crowded soon after six o'clock with shiny cord jackets and greasy caps
 Everybody comes to Billingsgate ir his worst clothes, and nobody knows the length of time a coat can be worn until he has been to fish sale. Over the hum of voices are heard the shouts of salesncn, who, with white aprons, peering above the heads of the mob, stand on the tables roaring out their prices. All are bawling together salcsmen and huckstcrs of provisions, hardware and ncwspapcrs-till the place becomes perfect Babel of com petition.

Every Man 8 Magnet.

That the human frame is an excellent magnet is well known by practical ex- perience to every watchmaller and deal CT, says jeweler in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A man will carry ; watch for years and be proud of its ac curacy; then he will fall sick, tn, watch will lie on the mantel or on tho dresser and will develop great lnaccura cy and unreliability.
 No explanation is forthcoming except the one that the absence of magnetism upsets the time announcer, and the bes proof of this is that when the man get; around again and carries his watch i soon gets all right again. No two mes appear to have the same magnetism f their frames, and it is seldom that tw, individuals can use the same watci satisfactorily.

Indifference of the Turks to Nocturnal
 Disturbances.
 The author of Bulgaria Before the War" says that the Turks devote tc sleep any spare half-hour that may happen to be at their disposal. At night, he says, all his companions would be in the land of dreams within ten minutes, while he lay wide awake and envious.
 It has often struck me with astonish- ment to see the little respect anyone in Turkey pays to sleep. When have been staying in the villages I have often heard member of the family get up, and after searching about among his sleeping companions, arouse them all to ask where his tobacco was, or upon some equally slight excuse.
 A lad of eighteen would thus wake up his father, man of sixty, perhaps two or three times in the night, and yet there would never be an angry word of remonstrance; and when have snapped savagely at some one for walking into my room and over my body in the mid dle of the night, my snappishncss has caused the greatest astonishment.
 Many times I have turned in with na- tives in the same room with mo, and though I was generally tired and my companions not, yet think may say I was invariably the last to close my

The Nobility of Hawaii.

Many people remember the pretty Princess V. Kaiulani Claghorn, who passed through America about year ago on her way to school in England. Her relative, her gracious majesty the Hawaiian queen, recently became a widow. The queens name is Liliuoka- lani, which means Lily-of-thc-Sly. But unless you have very glib tongue you will prefer to call her by the latter name instead of the former. If you have a fancy for trying to pronounce long words you may speak of the queen as Lil-liee-woke-a-lanny. The queen has been known until recently as Mrs. Dominus, the wife of a certain Mir. Dominus, who was an American by birth. She is also the Princess Lydia. Her successor, the Princess Claghorn, ia extremely pretty, with quiet ways and graceful manners which seem far re- moved from the suggestion of heather ism.

4 Smiling Little Villain Who Made a
 Good Man Swear.
 A story was recently told to me by a lady who had just returned from camp ing in the Yosemite valley, says a writer in Garden and Forest. A friendly guide, when asked about the ferns of the region, answered that he would have to know her long time before he would be willing to tell her about the kinds in the valley, and continued:
 II know you don't mean any harm, but there was a young woman here from the Bay-a great botanist-and I told her of fern that only grew in two places, so far as I knew, in the whole region. Then she was wild to sec it. told her she might have some leaves to press in her brown paper books, but warned her not to pull up any. Don't you s'pose know better than to spoil your fern garden?' replied the college girl. So showed her where the stuff grew-one place, where the most of it was, under some dry brush I had put there-a1d I made her promise again not to tell anyone, and not to pull it up. l said to her: I guess there ain't but two clumps of it in the Yosemite, and my idea is it ought to stay here. It would be kind of murder to drive it out Then she looked real pretty and said she entirely agreed with me. It might be new species, she remarked, and it might be Tanned after me if I would let it be taken away, but then I was exactly right, and it belonged right here.
 1.-Two or three weeks after that her camp broke up, and she went up the valley and dug up every root of the fern that she could find. Fact, saw her do- ing it. When went down to camp to tell them good-by, that cussed little hypocrite sidled up and begged me to take good care of the ferns-specially of that new kind! No, mum, I'll show you everything in the line of plants, from the Merced river to the top of FL Capitan, except one little bunch of fern all that was left by that young woman from the Bay"

 activity.
 Many animals pass the cold season oi he year in sleep, while the similar phenomenon of summer sleep is known in serpents and crocodiles of tropical regions Even in the temperate zones, it appears, there are reptiles and Imphibious animals that spend the hot lays in sleep. According to Dr. Franz Werner, these animals will be seen in July and August in noticeably fewer numbers than during the spring; and search will reveal them, in a condition yery similar to sleep, hidden under stones, brush or leaves, or in the edges )f marshes and ponds. The frogs sit luddled together and make no attempt Q flee. Lizards and salamanders lie llmost motionleSs, with their tails over heir heads; and snakes are coiled in ;pirals, with the head concealed. Un- ike that of the land animals, the sum- ner sleep of the water animals is not llways at the time of the greatest heat, put occurs only when their usual dwell ng place is dried up. Contrary to gen. sral supposition, reptiles do not always thrive best in hot weather, but many, such as lizards and snakes, Succumb 7ery quickly under hot sun, and only turtles can bear the exposure for any considerable time. The summer sleep If these animals varies with the char lcter of the hot season, and does not ap- pear at all in animals kept in a compar- ltively even temperature in captivity.

 Many women declare they got mar lied for the sake of a home; few ac- knowledge that their motive was to get a husband. Goethe averred that he got married in order to be respectable. :" John Wilkes said he took a wife ito please his friends" Wycherly, who es- 9oused his housemaid, said he did it to spite his relations

A SAMsoNIAN BEETLE.
Prodigious Power of a Diminutive In-
 

sect.
 Mir. Gosse in his World of Wonders re- lates the following anecdote: s'The three-horned beetle has just astonished me by proof of it's wonderful strength of body. When it was first brought to me, having no box immediately at hand, was at a loss where to put it until I could find time to kill and preserve it. At last happy thought suggested it. self. There was quart bottle of milk sitting on the table, the bottle having a hollow in the bottom large enough to allow my prize to stand erect in it; clapped him under it for the time being. Presently, to my surprise, the bottle be- gan to move slowly and then to glide softly along over the smooth table, propelled by the muscular power of the imprisoned insect underneath.
 ''The weight of the bottle and it's contents could not have been less than three and half pounds, while that of the beetle was scarcely half-ounce: so we were watching the strange sight of living creature moving one hundred and twelve times it's own weight under the most disadvantageous circum- stances. A better notion than figures can convey will be obtained of this feat by supposing a lad of fifteen to be i'm prisoned under the great bell of St. Paul's cathedral, London, which weighs twelve thousand pounds. If the lad could push within and cause the bell to glide over a smooth pavement his strength would not be as great accord ing to his weight as that of the insect under the milk bottle.'
