Pigunies in Spain.

Since the explorations of recent
travellers have completely verified the
older accounts Of the existence of
race Of dwarf or pigmy men in Africa,
renewed interest has been aroused in
the tradition that race of human
dwarfs also lives in Spain. Mr.. r. G.
Halliburton, who has specially inter-
ested himself in the investigation of
the truth Of this tradition, seems
convinced that it is true.
According to the information he
has collected, these Spanish pigmies
vary in height from about three and
a quarter to four feet, and are pre-
cisely similar to the dwarfs of Africa.
They possess the tufts of wool which
are characteristic of all dwarf races
Some of these little people are said
to live in the valley Of Ribas on the
slopes of the Pyrenees, and to be EN-.
ployed as shepherds The British
Consul at Barcelona is convinced of
their existence, and As the distance

CHINESE TRY THE PHONOGRAPH

They Start in with the Idea That 1t Con-
tains Cannon Flrecracker.
Did you ever see Chinaman try q
monograph? Then you have missed
one of the best things this world has
to offer.
AT the beginning the Chinaman
hasn't an all-ahiding confidence in
the monograph. His experience in
this country hasn't been such as to
give him any too much confidence in
anything that has the slightest APP
pearance OF mystery about it. He
tries 1T. il he can be induced to try
1t at all, with the air of a man who
thinks 1T is ali a put up job and that
the instrument contains cannon
frecracker that Will explode at the
proper moment and wreck one side
of his face.
At least that seemed to be the idea
OF Chinaman who tried one of the
Photographs on the Midway Plaisance
at the Worlds Fair.
He waited until he had seen some
Americans try it before he could be
induced to go near it and even then
he had grave doubts He had firm
grip on the car pieces as he put Them
in his ears preparing to yank them
out promptly If anything exploded.
There was solemn expression on his

When the air was finished there
was an animated discussion among all
the Cinnamon in the party, and then
each in turn tried It. each showing
the same lack OF confidence In the
that the tirst had.
Then they moved to another phon-
Ograph and got new tune. The

steadily down the plaisance expend-

Javanese Tixcv.iiEh1.

An English traveller in Java who
saw one of the tiger-tights peculiar
to the island thus describes the
strange sport: The tiger is set down
in trap in the center of the Allon-
Alton, or great square, and is sur
rounded by triple or Quadruple line
of spearmen. about a hundred yards
distant from him.
When all is ready, a .Javanese ad-
vances at a very slow pace, to the
sound of soft music and sets fire to
the trap. at the same time opening
the door at the pack part of the cage,
which, by the way. is too narrow for
the tiger to turn in.
AS the fire begins to SINCE his
whiskers he gradually backs out.
The man rs soon as he has opened
the door, begins walking toward the
crowd at slow pace. and the slower
he is, the more applause does he gain.
The tiger, meanwhile, having backed
out of his burning prison, is rather
astOnished at finding himself sur
rounded by hundreds of people, each
pointing spear at him.

Holes i'm the Air.

II. Hennequin of Paris, is an IN
innate friend of NJ. Cover, who made
recent balloon ascent in company
with NJ. Tissindier. and tells the
story of their fall of mile as the
balloonist related it to him:
They assembled from Tissindier's
house in Paris, and fioated off toward
VinceDnes, and as the wind was
somewhat strong from the northeast.
the two men soon disappeared from
the view OF Paris. having risen to a
height of fifteen hundred feet.
When they had reached Frontenay
they were full six thousand feet above
the earth. They were sailing along
smoothly, watching the scenes be-
low. when suddenly they seemed to
fall into a hole in the atmosphere,
and down they went at terrific
rate.
Cover glanced at the needle of the

the ears, and both men thought their
time had come. Nothing had hap

desperately threw out sand bags.
They were falling SO rapidly that the
bages were left behind, and disap-
peared above them. The earth seemed
to be rushing at them with the speed
of comet. There seemed to be no
atmosphere left, and they could scarce.

AS a last resort Tissindier threw

ballast, and the big balloon. after a

This goes to show" continued
Mr. Henneuuin, 'that too much pre-
caution cannot be observed in carry

the air occasional rarefactions. and
when a balloon once gets into one OF

Cover and Tissindier sailed into YER

But II he could see these acts in their
final results, he might be enabled to
take more cheerful and hopeful view
OF life. The mistakes and failures OF
the young man are not infreQuentiy
a necessary preparation for the sue
cess OF his more mature years. They
are essential to the development OF
the characteristics to which his ulti-
mate success is to lie attributed. The
young man of really noble character
istics, Of generous impulse, Of earnest
devotion to duty, and who is animated
by spirit of generous self-sacrifice,
will make mistakes, and witness the
failure of his plans; but he will grow
stronger from every failure, and with
advancing years he will acquire the
characteristics which are essential to
success. But the cool, calculating,
sclf-seeking character never seems to
make Il blunder. He is always pur-
suing course which is pronounced
prudent and judicious. But such a
man never rises above mediocrity and
never accomplishes any great work.
His regard for his own interests is
fatal to his usefulness His concern
for his own welfare units him for
doing good in any large measure to
his fellowmen. We need not, then,

our mistakes and failures 1t would

Dccp-Sea Sounding Without IA Line,

A method of sounding the deep
sea without line has been devised
by John Munro. 1t consists in Drop
ping lead containing a cartridge,
which explodes on striking the bot
tom. The sound OF the explosion
is received by submerged micro
phone apparatus communicating with
the ship. The depth is estimated by
the time occupied by the lead In
sinking to the bottom. A very in
ceuious method of accom- plishing the
same end was employed in Sir Will
liam Siemens' bathymeter. This in
strument was intended to sound the
deep sea without line through the
varying attraction of gravity on a
mercury column produced by the diff
ferent depths Of water underneath
1t. The bathymeter was tried on a
cable ship. but given up because it
was too sensitive to the surface
waves.

laps 1t is not too much TO insist that
in a palace life should be we'll lived;
that by SO much as one is relieved

so much should he of all others, live
the higher life. There is no excuse
for his not being generous, synpa-
thetlc. aspiring. He is relieved from
the necessity Of labor for the primary
wants Of food, clothing, and shelter,
so by this release from the lower
plane let him seek the luxury of
