An Italian prince who had a Sicilian
cook was once travelling to his provincial
estates, taking with him his cook, TO-
gether with his entire kitchen force,
without which, so fond was he of the
delicacies they were wont to prepare, he
rarely if ever travelled. At point
where the narrow path along the preci-
pice turned the angle Of projecting
rock the prince, at the head Of his long
cavalcade, heard shrek and the splash
of body falling into the torrent far
below. With face white with horror
he pulled up, and looking back ex-
claimed: ''The cookl The cook! Oh,
do not tell me it is the cookr' mo, your

heaved a sigh Of intense relief, then
said: "Ah, only the chaplainl Thank

The Age of the Earth.
Amusing journal.

I The age of the earth is estimated
from the increment in temperature
as we penetrate it's crust. The rate
at which it cools, however, can only
be approximately determined, owing
to the confessedly imperfect data
which must be used, there being
nothing on which to base calcutta
tons. From a careful analysis of
the data at hand, Sir William
Thompson has found that between
10O,OOO,OOO and 200, 600, 900 years ago
the earth first began to be crusted
over by solid film of rocks; that 49,
100000 years later it was still so hot
that the temperature would have in
creased 2 degrees Fahrenheit for
every foot vertically descended be-
low the zone of constant tempera-
ture. The present rate of increase
averages about 1. 81 of a degree for
every fOot.-Philadelphia Press.

Superstitions About Swallows.

So far as has been ascertained birds
return year after year to the same
haunts. Swallows marked by Frisch
returned to the same places, and this
has always been the case when ex-
periments have been made. The
swallow has been and ~ continues
the object of many superstitions,
which, unlike most cases, have been
favorable to the birds. Farmers in
many places think that if the barn
swallows are killed their COWS will
suffer i'll consequence and give bloody
milk, and thus they have been pro
tected when other birds equally their
friend have been shot without mercy.
