The Pogonip Fog,

The city of Carson, New, experienced
the other evening the thickest and cold
est pogonip fog Sin the memory of the
oldest inhabitant." The pogonip fog is
peculiar to elevated attitudes in the Ne
vada Sierras, which is something for us
to be thankful for. The pogonip ascends
from the valleys, and its chill embrace
is so much feared by the Indians, who
are predisposed to affections of the lungs,
that they change their camp if apprised
by the atmospheric conditions that the
dreaded fog is approaching.
Odgen, a chemist of the Nevada min
ing bureau, furnishes this pleasing de-
scription of the pogonip; "In the White
Pine mountains, the Toyabi, the Myko
and the Parranagat ranges it is quite
common to see the trees, houses and
everything out in the open gradually be-
come white without any apparent cause.
There is no perceptible fog, but the hot
air from the valleys gradually ascends
up the mountain side, and becoming
crystallized, the minute crystals attach
themselves to anything in sight. This
phenomenon affects human beings in
just the same manner, and when the fog
passes by, the frozen particles will ad-
here to the hair and clothing, producing
a very grotesque effect. Providence

Fish stories are good, but they cannot
compare in interest with the hen stories
that were told at the Plowman Farmers
meeting in John Hancock building.
James Rankin, of South Easton, the es-
sayist, described a pair of healthy chick
ems Matched from a double yolked eggs
which were joined at the wings by "A
feshy integument. They had to be sep
arated, because one of them developed
a tendency to turn somersaults, which
proved source Of annoyance and dan
ger to his less acrobatically inclined
mate. He also told of flock of ducks
that would never enter the water unless
accompanied by young lady attendant,
and at a certain hour every day they
would come to the house and quack for
her to come out and go with them to
the waters edge.-Boston Transcript.

HOW the Drum fish Drums.

AT meeting of the Berlin Physiolog-
lcal society Professor Moebius described
a most peculiar specimen of the finny
tribe-Baliste aculeatus-the drumfish.
They are found only in the waters of the
harbor of Mauritics, and when caught
and held in the hand they emit most
striking" noise-a sound resembling
that produced by tapping the head of a
tenor drum. A careful examination of
this strange creature fails to reveal any
movement of the mouth, the only mo-
ton observable being just behind the
gill slit, where continuous vibration of
the skin may be seen. The portion of
the skin which vibrates stretches from
the clavicle to the bronchial arch. This
is provided with four large bony plates
and lies just over the air or "swim blad-
DER"
Behind the clavicle is curiously
shaped long bone, which is attached by
the middle to the clavic muscle in such
a manner as to form lever with two
arms. The long arm of this horny lever
is imbedded in the ventral trunk mus
cles and is capable of easy movement to
and fro. The short arm slides during
this movement over the rough inner
side of the clavicle, which gives rise to
a cracking noise which can be plainly
heard at distance of twenty feet.-St.
Louis Republic.

Variations in Climate.

In the capricious climates of our tenn
perate latitudes q just determination
and comparison form battling task.
Observations, more or less systematic,
with instruments, have been made of
Genealogical features for about 100
years, but on general cooperative plan
they have been carried ON imperfectly
for less than a third of that time, or
about the period within which some OBJ
servers suppose round of meteoro-
logical changes is accomplished for a
single locality. Popular opinions are
founded most largely ON haphazard rec
objections of vague impressions that can
not be depended upon; and even if we
had accurate records in place of these
they could not be used to determine the
trend of climate ON account of the short
time they cover.
1t has happened more than once dur
ing that time that series of seasons of
peculiarly marked character has been
followed abruptly by series of opposite
character, multiplying the conclusions
that may have been taking shape from
the former series. The speculations con-
cerning a decrease of rainfall in the
United States in consequence of the re-
moval of the forests have been disturbed
by the recent prevalence in part of the
disforested area of succession of sea-
sons of heavy and continuous rains.-

Mrs. Helwig's 1904 Loose Teeth.

Armed with search warrant Treas
ury Agents Soehnglen and Harlan Wis
tied the residence of DIR. Emmey Hell
wig, a female physician, and after ran
sacking the place they located a big
package of false molars. The teeth
were all single, no sets being found.
They numbered just 5,034. The woman
was taken before Chief Treasury Agent
Scanlan, where she admitted having
brought the teeth from Germany. She
came to America Oct. 4, 1890.
There is duty of 60 per cent. on
porcelain teeth, and as the lot was val
ued at 5000 the duty would have been
considerable. After safely passing the
customs officers at New York Mrs. Hell
wig came to Chicago, where she opened
a dentists office. This failing to pay
she hung out her shingle as a female
physician. Chicago Tribune.

Some of our idiomatic phrases are
amusing rather than didactic. Take, for
instance, the very common remark made
when some one of the company has told
aharmless secret-"You have let the cat
out of the bag" 1t is at once figure of
speech and a picture, but veritable
bugbear to foreigner not versed in the
mysteries of our language, The same
idea is expressed in another idiom,
"You've tipped up the apple cart" A
phrase that has an expressive meaning
Is one which epitomizes whole volumes
of advice-"Keep stiff upper lip

Preaching Over Old Sermons.

The scandal arising from bought SER
mons, which unfortunately are often
sold in duplicate and even triplicate,
has caused at least one bishop hence
forth to forbid their use in his diocese.
He has no objection to his clergy preach
ing the sermons of other divines if the
authorship is acknowledged, and even
considers that an original discourse once
a week is as much as can be reasonably
expected from the average curate; but
there must be no duplicity in the mat
ter. There has always been danger in
the purchased sermon.
Recognition of the borrowed work, if
from well known source, is also al
ways possible, or nearly always. A
Welsh curate confessed to the following
ingenious plan for evading it, which
must, however, have given him great
deal of trouble: 1--WE got volume of
sermons by one Tillotson, and a very
good book it is; so translate them into
Welsh and then back again into Eng
lsh, after which Tillotson himself would
not know them again. ILLUSTRATED

Vermont Deer Return to New York.

The attempt to stool, the Green noun
tains with deer will doubtless prove a
complete failure. A number of wears
ago some of the animals were brought
from New York and turned loose upon
the mountain slopes in the thinly inhab.
tied sections of the state. That they
have bred and increased it is quite natu.
raj to suppose, but the reason that they
are not now any more numerous than
they were five years ago can be attrib-
uted to the fact that in the winter they
cross Lake Champlain on the ice into
the Adirondack wilderness, never to re-
turn.-Vermont Cor. Albany Journal

"a man should take exercise in the
open air if possible" said he enthusias-
tically, 'but some kind of violent exer-
else just before going to bed. There is
no medicine that will do him as much
good or put him to sleep quicker. When
was boy l smoked great deal, and
finally became so nervous at twenty-one
that couldn't keep the covers on my
bed at night. The doctors told me to
quit cigars and take exercise. 1 followed
their advice. never go to bed now

The principal pavements made in Pal

within recent years they have been con-
structed in accordance with anything
like modern requirements. The superior
and massive Roman pavements, over
1900 years old and still in fair preserva-
ton, are here not taken into considera-
ton. The material for streets is stone,
cut about the size and shape of ordinary
bricks or little larger. This is laid in
sand, the long and narrow side up. The
stone used is the well known Jerusalem
