Transparent Bricks.

A new departure has been made in
France in the employment of glass
bricks for building purposes. The
bricks are hollow, being blown like
bottles, and are given the shape that is
most readily laid, cubic, heXagonal or
otherwise. in the particular style, OF
building for which they are intended.
They are made ecure by the use of
a bituminous cement, with a base of
asphalt. A singular feature of these
bricks is that they do away with the
necessity of windows. They are good
insulators of humidity and noise. Civ
ing protection against both cold and
heat, and by the modification of their
form and color they can be made to
harmonic readily with the decorations
of any building. They are used largely
in meat markets in preference to mar
bic, and they are found specially adapt
ed for bath halls. hothouses hospitals
refrigerating establishments, and, in
fact. all buildings in which the absence
of windows would be an advantage.

A Fathers PrOnptitude.

Judge Smcdley, an English occupant
of the judicial bench of Ceylon, was
one of the most timid of men, when out
driving. AS he was a Falstaff in size,
his constant cries of "Pya po!' Ego gent
ly) to the coachmaI, used to make
every one smile. But the timid judge
once showed more courage and pres
ence of mind.
Early one morning, hearing a fright
full scream from his dressing room he
rushed in, and found that his little
daughter had been bitten by a tic
%polonga," the most deadly of Cingha-
lese vipers. While playing the part of
Initiating papa" she had put her max
ed foot into one of her fathers boots.
The snake, having chosen that root for
it's temporary habitation, struck its
fangs deeply into her ankle.
The Judge caught the little girl in
his arms, sucked the wound viciously,
and called out for the carriage. The
| coachman was not addressed by the
warning "Pya POI" but it was three
quarters of an hour before the judge
and his daughter were able to reach
the fort. where the English surgeon
was quartered.
When the doctor cav the wound he
said that, for their satisfaction, he
would cauterize it; but he added that
but for the fathers brave promptltude
the daughter would not have hved
long enough t 0 reach the fort. She did
not suffer at all from the poison.

Some years ago a delegation of In
dams from Il Western tribe arrived
in Washington. After having a pow
WOW with their great White Father
president Grant, they went out for a
walk and to see the sights. Their in
terpreter accompanied them and eX'
planned the novel things met with
Suddenly one of the redskins was at
tracted by a number of boxes of shoe
backing, with fancy labels, piled like
a pyramid in Il small grocery window.
He spoke to the interpreter, and they
entered the store leaving the others
outside. The price of the backing was
asked and explained to the Indian who
coveted it. He told his companion to
buy it all, thirty-siX boxes in number,
which he did.
When the transaction was complet-
ed, the brave took his purshase out
side. where, squatting down on the
curb-stone, and drawing a big hunting
knife from his belt, he proceeded to pry
open the cover and gouge out the con-
tents of each box. Then he made a
hole through each cover and bottom
with Il nail taken from his pocket, and
running Il string of deer sinew through
them, knotted, so they were equal dis
tances apart. tied all to his scalp-lock,
near the back of his neck. Then he
walked proudly on and joined the 9th
crs of the tribe. The strange ornament
dangled nearly to his heels.

AS TO THE FLOOD.

Some Think 1T Local to the Euph-
rates, Other the Melting of the Ice
Age.
Sness, in Das Antlitz der Erde," and
Neumayer, IN "Erdesgeschichte," have
attempted to show that the Mosaic ac-
count of the deluge was copied with
little change from an original Assyrian
version, and that it was a local flood
which took place in the plains of the
Tigris and Euphrates, not in the Valley
of Jordan. In a recent number of Ma
tur Wochenschrift, however, Herr
Richard Hennig tries to prove that a
general flood took place in the Ice Age
during the Quaternary Period.
Many facts, such as evidences of
glaciation and lowering temperature,
found in the rocks and in sagas and
myths, as we'll as the vast extension
of a great lake in the far West of
above that of the Salt Lake, go to
| prove that floods accompanied the re-
treat of the glaciers. Countries in
warmer ATTITUDES, for example, the Sa
hara, were converted into seas and
SWdIltbS, vi Ntlc ioIdIy hoouSu' iSo
lated lands kept clear of the inunda-
ton, for instance, Egypt: but we may
remind Herr Hennig, that. according
to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly i'll
great part a marsh.
1t is curious to note, in connection
with the glacial theory, that an old
Aryan tradition tells of the 'Aryans"
having been driven from their original
seat by the country becoming colder
and the winter longer. The German
flood saga tells that 1.-The floods of the
north came far from their home, and
| were turned into ice, and the ice stood
still, and the mists which hung over 1t
froze." The sun warmed the drops,
however, and Ymir of Hrimthursen,
the frost giant in the form of a man,
was born. Bors killed the giant, and
his blood drowned the rae of Hrim-
thursen except Bergelmir, who, in a
| boat saved himself and wife, and from
them sprang the new racec of Hrim'
thursen.-LondOn Globe.

In European military circles at the

still a very young man and has had n

years ago, invented the smokeless pow
der, which has already been adopted
by every country in the world as the
only possible propeliing force Of the
future. Later oil his researches IN
chemistry, and particularly IN picric

Nevertheless they show even then
a remarkable endurance. An Indian
has been known to carry a letter from
Guazapares to Chihuahua and back
again in five days, the distance being
nearly eight hundred miles. In some
parts where the Tarahumaris serve
the Mexicans they are used to run in
the wild horses, driving them into the
corral; it may take them two or three
days to do 1t, sleeping at night and
living on Il little pinole. They bring
in the horses thoroughly exhausted,
while they themselves are still fresh.
They will outrun any horse If you give
them time enough. They will pursue
deer in the snow, Or with dogs, in the
rain, for days and days, until at last
the animal Is cornered and shot with
arrows, or falls an easy prey from
sheer exhaustion, its hoofs dropping
off.-From "Tarahumari Life and Gus

Shortsightedness in


Shortsightedness among scholars i'll
public schools in this country and Ell
rome has increased alarmingly in late
wears. and in til, majority of cases 1t
shows no signs Of abatement. 1t is,
however, satisfactory to know that a
clew has been obtained to account for
it's frequent occurrence, and the sup
posed remedy is easy of application.
In the French public schools 24.2 per
cent Of the scholars are shortsighted;
in the German 35 per cent: in the Eng
lish only 20 per cent. From investiga-
tons by M. Martin into the annals OF
the French schools it appears that the
percentage is highest in the rhetoric
and philosophy classes. The hygiene
condition of the school does not seem
to effect the percentage, and Nj. Mar
tin thinks that want of physical eXer-
else is the cause of the trouble. BY
modifying the work of the classes the
proportion of shortsighted scholars at
the College of Giessen has fallen o
26.6 to II per cent in five years. NJ.
Martin recommends reasonable periods
of physical exercise between the hours
of study. Where these periods OF rec
reation have been allowed, while short
siphtedness has decreased, there has
been no diminution of general prof.
cheney on the part of the scholars.

A correspondent states that one of
the most effective ways of preserving
fruits and roots for a length of int is
to bury them in powdered quicklime.
A member of a European agricultural
society recently exhibited some grapes
which has been embedded in lime for
seven months. They We're as round
and plump as on the day they were
gathered. and the only difference OBJ
servablc in the taste was that Il little
more Saccharine had been developed.
The owner of the grapes stated that he
had been in the habit of preserving
fruit through the entire winter by this
method. BY about the middle of March
however, IL tenth would spoil, and Il
month later about half would decay.
In order to make the system Il perfect
success the consumption of fruit should
not be put off beyond the beginning of
March.

mands of every weather forecast for

by expecting the exact state Of the
weather to be described for certain
hours of the day. I myself have per-

to give a series of general rules, estab-
lished on a scientific basis, which every
one who takes an intelligent interest
I'm the subject can apply to the local
conditions in which he or she ives.
"a The longer n certain kind of wealth
or has lasted already, the greater Is
the probability that it will continue
still longer. q, If the weather was alb
normally cold at the beginning OF
spring it is highly probable that it will
also be abnormally cold in the month
following. GO If the latter half OF
April was colder than usual, 1t is not
unlikely that May will be correspond
ingly warmer than the average. ~
If i'm midsummer 4 month has been
colder than ordinarily the chances are
that the month following will also
prove cold. 10 Should the second half
of October be unusually cold 1t is very
probable that November will be proper
tionately warmer than the average.
= Il QO From the nature OF the
weather in spring and in summer we
can infer with great probability It's
character i'm autumn, which it will
closely resemble. I'D After a moder
ately warm summer a mild winter may
be looked for with great probability.
n2) A hot summer will generally be
followed by a normal or a severe win

II probable that the following summer
will he hot. IT n " 90 A very cold
winter generally ushers in a very cool
summer. Prof. Falb says that Septem-
Der will prove. on the whole, a calm,
dry month for Europeans, the first

half warm. October will be "a month
