Moose are occasionally caught by the
natives, but only when they are cs-
pccially ordered.
The moose is undoubtedly the most
interesting, as it is the largest, of the
deer family When full grown it is not
rare to find specimens standing feet
high at the shoulder, and they carry
antlcrs that weigh 200 pounds. The
monstrous spread, great strength and
peculiar shovcl-likc form of the autlcrs
indicate their particular usefulness to
the animal.
In the summer when budding trees
and fresh grasses afford food, the moose
is hornlcss or just growing antlcrs, but
when the snow comes and vegetation is
deeply buried the heavy horns arc used
to dig the snow away from the vcrdure

Watches aud Vital magnets.

1t is frequently claimed that personal
magnetism of man has great influence
on the time movements of a watch
which he carries. In confirmation of
this there is cited from the Electrical
Review case where an employee in a
watch factory, n man of strong per-
sonal magnetism, had for many years
strange experiences with his watch As
soon as he had worn Il watch for some
time it began to run in the most freak
ish way. 1t lost or gained, not so many
seconds or minutes in day, as is the
case with poor watches, but one day
gained an hour and the next day lost
one. Even the most expensive chronom-
etcr became unreliable if tho man men
toned wore it, ii another took it UP
it kept time very we'll.

There is an army of men employed
upon the railroads of the United States,
an army of $4,000. They are not en-
gagged in idle mancuvers, dress paradcs,
barrack drills or preparations for war
fare, but by their diligence, energy and
toll contribute immensely to the wealth,
well-being and development of the
country, the interchange of its prod
ucts, the diffusion of information and
the prompt transportation of vast num-
bers OF passengers with remarkably
low percentage of casualties. The num-
Der Of passengers carried last year was
$4,000, 900. The number of passengers
killed was o03.

DAYS FOUR HOURS LONG.
That Was Some limo Ago, and the Earth
Travelled Much Faster.

III
Travelled Much Faster
To-day is longer than yesterday; to-
morrow will be longer than to-day.
The difference is so small that even in
the course of ages it can hardly be said
to have been distinctly established by
observation, says The Story of the
Heavens. We do not pretend to say
how many centuries have elapsed since
the day was even one second shorter
than il is ut present; but centuries are
not the units which we may employ in
tidal evolution. a million years ago it
Is quite probable that the divergence of
the length of the day from the present
value may have been very considerable.
Let us take Il glance back into the pro-
found depths of time past and see what
the tides have to tell us. If the present
order of things has lasted the day must
have been shorter and shorter the far
thcr we look back into the dim past.
The day is now twcntyfour hours; it
was once six hours. How much farther
can we go? Once the six hours is past
we begin to approach limit which must
at some point bound our prospect. The
shorter the day the more is the earth
bulGed at the equator; the more the
earth is bulgcd at the equator
the greater is the strain put upon the
materials of the earth by the ccntris.,-
gal force of its rotation. If the earth
were to go too fast it would be unable
to cohere together; it would separate
into pieces just as grindstone driven
too rapidly is rent asundcr with vio-
lence. Here, therefore, we discern in
the remote past a barrier which stops
the present argument. There is GER
tain critical velocity which is the great
est that the earth could bear without
risk of rupture, but the exact amount
of that velocity is question not very
easy to answer 1t depends upon the
nature of the materials of the earth; it
depends upon the temperature; it de-
ponds upon the effect of pressure, and
on other details not accurately known
to us. An estimate OF the critical We
locity has, however, been made, and it
has been shown that the shortest period
of rotation which the earth could
have, without flying into pieces, is
about three or four hours. The doc
trine of tidal evolution has thus con-
Quoted MS to the conclusion that. at
some inconccivably remote epoch, the
earth was spinning round its axis in
a period appToXimating to three or six
hours.
