THE SIZE OF ATOMS.
They Can Not be Discovered By the Make,

They Can Not BE Discovered by the Naked
Eye.
Science informs us that all bodies
are composed of atoms and molecules,
atoms being the smallest particles into
which matter in general can be divided,
and molecules the smallest particles
into which any particular body can be
divided without losing its identity
For instance, the smallest particles Of
salt which are able to retain the prop
critics of salt are molecules, bat such
molecules may be split up into parti.
clcs composed of sodium and particles
composed of chlorine, and these ele.
mentary particles, which can not again
be divided, are atoms.
But no one has ever been able to see,
or distinguish, a molecule or an atom.
Yet the possibility of their being rem.
dered visible has more than once been
discussed. Only short time ago such
discussion occurred at a meeting Of
the Physical society in London, and
reasons were then shown for believing
that molecules are not indefinitely
small in comparison with the wave
length Of light, which averages some.
thing like one-tifty -thousandth Of an
inch.
Ten or eleven years ago Sir William
Thomson, now Lord Kelvin, investi.
gated the question Of the actual size of
atoms and molecules, and came to the
conclusion that, at the largest, they
might be Observation-Disclosures Of
an inch in diameter! That would make
them so small that five hundred could
lie in row within the length of Q
wave Of light.
1t is difficult to imagine that parti.
cles so minute should ever be rendered
visible to human eyes, and yet, as has
just been remarked, the possibility of
seeing them is occasionally discussed
b. men Of science.
But If such feat of seeing ever Is
performed, it will certainly prove to
be something more than mere graft.
tication of curiosity. Many Of the most
recondite questions in science would
be suddenly illuminated by the discov.

INDIANS OF THE NORTHWEST.
Some of the Tribes That Are Located In
British Columbia.

Some OF the Tribes That Are Located IN
British Columbia.
Siwash is q name which has been
made generally applicable to all Of the
west-coast Indians from Puget sound
to Alaska. These Indians are divided
into a great number Of tribes, differing
in language, manners, and modern
traditions, though in their older tradi.
tions there is such striking similarity
as to indicate beyond doubt that they
have sprung from common source. II
one were to attempt to trace the origin
Of these tribes, says the Toronto
Globe, he would hnd that apparently
the country now occupied by them had
in other days been peopled by an older
and In all probability an inferior race,
with whom the ancestors Of the pres
ent generation had mingled; but at q
point on the Queen Charlotte islands
there is line beyond which tho older
tribes had evidently come into contact
with later and superior infusion.
Among the Hidas on the Queen Char.
lotte islands is found fine race Of
men. In their physical makeup they
arelarge and powerfully built; they are
somewhat lighter in color than their
southern neighbors, and more intelli-
gent; their mythology is more compli-
Gated, but more carefully wrought
out, and they excel In their arts
Of woodworking and carving. Com
ing south from the Queen Charlotte
group, it Is found that the influence
Of the older and inferior race Is more
and more strongly impressed upon the
tribes, and gradual deterioration con-
tinues, with few Interruptions, right
down to Vancouver island, where a
very ordinary type Of aborigine Is
found. From all that can be traced In
their mythology, In their peculiar
methods Of thought, and, In some in
stances, In their tribal traditions, it Is
reasonable to suppose that the ances-
tors Of the Hidas drifted across the Pa
cific ocean, most probably from Japan,
and found lodgment on the islands
now occupied by their descendants.
These involuntary invaders had found
an inferior class Of natives, with whom
they had commingled until the distinc.
tion between them had been obliterated
and new tribe had been formed. That
this supposition is probably the correct
one Is shown by the fact that within
comparatively recent times Japanese
vessels have been blown out OF their
course and drifted upon the North
American coast.
That the Queen Charlotte group has
not been the only harbor Of refuge for
these storm-tossed mariners OF old Is
probable, for among some Of the tribes
farther south, even down as far as the
powerful Bella Coolas, there are found
evidences Of superiority which can only
be attributed to a commingling Of the
japanese, though with intermediate
weaknesses between these points and
points north and south, showing that
they had received fresh infusion from
without at particular places. In the
seventies a japanese junk In distress
was picked up as far south as the lower
end OF Vancouver island and towed
into Victoria harbor. Words similar In
pronunciation and meaning are fonnd
In the Japanese and tribal languages,
and there is n striking similarity in the
general physical outline OF the two
peoples.

THE DAINTY PARIsIENNe.
A Creature Gifted with AL the snps.
lclAl GrAcea Which Charm Man

A Creature Gifted with AL the snpsr-
ficial Graces Which Charm Men.
THE Parisiennes are born com,
edians," said an author Of the last
century, and this Is the description he
gives Of true Parisienne: To be or to
become Parisienne q woman must be
. gourmand, capricious, ambitious and
a coquette; she begins to live only to-
wards evening; at twelve she is at her
zenith. She knows nothing, not even
how to make cup Of tea, but she
serves her sickly beverage with so
much grace and her Sevres cups are SO
transparent and so exquisite, that you
love 1t and love her.
When the Parisienne gives q dinner
party she thinks Of the flowers and the
fruit, and leaves the rest to her cook,
30 sure Is she to mend bad dish with
bon mot. Her beauty, which Ii prob
lematic, and has nothing to do with the
type preferred by the sculptor, lasts
her q quarter Of century, this because
the beauty Of the Parisienne Is the
beaute du diabls, and the devil never
gets old. She knows how to sit, TO get
up, to kneel, how to do everything, for
she never forgets her role, and is al
ways on the stage; she has studied her.
self In all positions, full face, side face
and three-quarter face, and she knows
what she can do without losing an inch
OF her charm and when to stop In time.
If she has wisp Of hair moving
about or dangling on her forehead, or
sticking up above her coils, do not say:
II beg your pardon, madame, your
hair Is out Of order,"' for this wisp has
been studied and arranged, and where
1t Is and how 1t bangles It is meant to
be and to dangle. On her face Is the
suggestion Of all beauties, but none are
perfect; she reflects the white snow Of
the north and the sun rays Of the
south; she has the quiet eye Of the
American and the dreamy look Of the
Russian, she Is clean and dainty like the
English, as lively as Gipsy Of Seville
or a Florentine signora. AL Is hers,
wit, charm, artistic coquetry, easiness
OF manners, kindness and mischievous-
ness; either as q duchess, milliner, ac-
tress, circus rider, tanner Of beasts and
OF men, she Is always the Psrisienne,
and always has been, o creature
stamped at her birth by an angel and
by q devil, both Of them having left
their seal on her. =
