The Intense Goodness of SPACE,

We rarely realize, think, how easily the
earth parts with its heat, and how cold
space is through which the earth sweeps in
its orbit. Nor do we commonly appreciate
how relentlessly space sucks away the heat
which the earth has garnered from the
sunbeams out into it's illimitable depths.
Away out in space is a cold so intense that
we fairly fail to grasp it's meaning. Per
haps 800 or 400 dogs. below the freezing
point of water, some philosophers think,
are the dark recesses beyond our atmos-
phere. And night and day, summer and
winter, this insatiate space is robbing us
of our heat and fighting with demoniac
power to reduce our globe to it's own bitter
chill.
So, after all, our summer and winter
temperatures are only maintained by the
residue of the suns heat which we have
been able to store up and keep hold of in
spite of the pitiless demands of space. Our
margin sometimes gets so reduced on
nights in winter that we can readily be-
lieve the astronomers and physicists when
they tell us that a reduction of the suns
heat by per cent. and slight increase in
the number of winter days would suffice to
bring again to our hemisphere a new age
of ice, with it's inevitable desolation. The
balance is really nice one between the
heat we daily gather from the sun and the
share of it which we lose in space.-T.

The number of persons killed by wild
animals in the Madras presidency in
1891 was 279, or eighty-three in excess
Of the corresponding number for the
previous year. The increase occurs
mainly under the head of "tigers" and
"other animals" the number of deaths
under the former head having amount
ed in the districts of CANAAN and Vizag-
apatam alone to forty-four and l05,
respectively, as against twenty-three
and eighty during 1890. The increase in
CANAAN is possibly due, as explained by
the collector, to more careful registra-
ton.
During the year 1891 there were fifty
nine deaths due to the depredations of
tigers in the central provinces, while in
the previous year there were 1903. Chan
da, Raipur and Hoshangabad districts
were the principal haunts. One notori-
GUS man eating tiger in the Chanda dis
trict, finding that things were getting too
warm for him, disappeared Four tigers
were killed between Itarsi and Bagra,
which has been the haunt of several
man eaters. The famous man eating IT,
gress in the Raipur district was killed
in May last, but there is still an old of
fender at large in the Hoshangabad dis
trict. Since the close of 1891 two tigers
and man eating panther have been &C

Long Hair and Genius.

Long hair was in vogue among must
clans and artists long after it ceased to be
worn by the rest of mankind. The long
haired artist, with his velvet coat, his
sombrero and his mysterious cloak, has
altogether disappeared, and lengthy locks
only linger nowadays, with few eXcep-
tions, on the head of the musician. Indeed
this luxuriant thatch would appear to ex-
ercise potent influence on audiences, for
it is said that, in the agreement of nota-
BILE pianist about to go on a foreign tour,
there is special clause that he shall not
have his hair cut. This possibly is an in
vention, but it is an extraordinary thing
that musicians are well nigh the only peo-
pie left who give but limited employment
to the shears of the barber. 1t is also a
fact that their hair flOurishes better than
most people.
| have recently heard theory that the
great prevalence of badness in the present
day is entirely due to the constant close
cropping which has existed for the last
five and twenty years. If you look at the
portraits of celebrities of thirty or forty
years ago, you will be perfectly astonished
at the carefully arranged couture which
meandered over their coat collars. and you
feel inclined to begin singing, Get yer air
cut" without further delay. You will
also be amazed to learn that most of them
retained this extraordinary growth to the
end of their days.-London Graphic.

Cinnamon who Are Not Chinese

The British consul in Hai-Nan says that
during the past year he has made two
Journeys in that island, one to certain
prominent hills near Hollow known as
the Hummocks, which lie fifteen miles to
the west on the road to Cheng Mai, the
other a gunboat cruise to Hansul bay.
The people at both these places, and pre-
sumably all along the northwest coast,
though believing themselves Chinese,
speak language which is not only not
Chinese, but has large percentage of the
words exactly similar to Siamese, Shan
Laos or Muong, The type of the people,
too, is decidedly Shan, without the typical
Chinese almond eye. At one time q 900
years ago. the ALLAH or Nen-chau empire
of the Thai race extended from Yun-Nan
to the sea, and the modern Muongs of Ton
quin, like the Shans of Quang See prov
inces, the ancestors of both of which
tribes belonged to that empire, probably
sent colonies over to Ha-Nan, or the
Chinese generals may have sent prisoners
Of war over.
1t is certain that some at least of the
unlettered but by no means uncivlized
tribes in the central parts of Hai-Nan
speak type of language which is totally
different from that spoken by the Shan
speaking tribes of the northwest coast.

it was the countenance of my sister, who
died in Quebec two years ago. Strange
to say, | was not scared. The light dis

This time the woman's hand appeared

Fast Trains Are the Safest.

Superintendent Darlington, of the Penn
sylvania lines, is of the opinion that fast
trains are the safest, and unless there is a
defect in the track an accident seldom hap
pens to them. Our No T." says he, "is
known to be an exceedingly fast train, and
every one keeps out of its way. At
Knightstown, for instance, where our fast
trains pass through at nearly sixty miles
an hour, no one has ever been hurt. The
people know the trains cannot be stopped
in second and govern themselves accord
ingly. 1t is in towns where there are SLOW
ordinances that the people are hurt. They
know the trains are compelled to run slow
and take their time about getting across
the track.
THE experience of railroad men is that
fast trains are the safest. In the event of
cattle on the track it is better too, to hit
them hard than easy. was on the engine

A Gallant Rescue,

Here is very charming cat and dog
story for the truth and accuracy of
which the proud inhabitants of the
Swiss village where it occurred quite
recently are one and all, ready to vouch.
A troublesome cat in the village had
been doomed to watery DEATH and the
children of the owner had been told off
to take it in a sack to the river Aar and
there to drown it. The house dog ac-
companied the party to the execution,
which was carried out according to
parental instructions. But, much to the
surprise of the inmates, a short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking wet,
reappeared together at their owner S
door.
This is what had happened The dog,
on seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river, jumped
after it, seized it with his teeth. dragged
it to the bank, tore it open and restored
his friend the cat to life and liberty. 1t
goes without saying that the death war
rant of the cat was destroyed after this
marvellous escapade. Million.

Bathing Mt the Southern Beaches.

Something has been said heretofore in
regard to the inconvenience caused by
sea blubbers to the surf bathers on the
island. This nuisance, instead of abat-
ing, is on the increase, and if any one
wishes to battle in the sea water now
with impunity it becomes necessary to
completely swathe himself in clothing
from head to foot for fear of being stung.
The effects of these stings vary &C
cording to the constitution Of the suffer
err. Usually, in persons of good health
and active circulation, an angry red
blotch appears in the skin proportionate
in size to the animal by which it is in
flicted, rarely exceeding eight or ten
inches in diameter. An intolerable
smarting sensation is produced which re-
mains ordinarily about half an hour,
and it is easy to imagine the condition of
a nervous or sensitive person when stung
in three or four places at once. The
feeling must be nearly akin to that of
being on fire.
In some cases the effects are more seri-
Gus. A young man recently showed the
writer his arm, which was severely
stung. A broad band of what looked like
highly inhamed mosquito bites formed
an almost perfect spiral around the fore
arm. He complained that the pain was
at first intense, and that although under
a physicians treatment it was rapidly
becoming less, still it was far from
pleasant.
An old sea islander who took surf
bath the other night said that he had
seen sea blubbers before and in consid-
cradle quantities, but never like this.
At certain seasons of the year." said he,
lit is nothing unusual to get stung.
Here the exception seems to be to get
stung less than five times in half an
hour"
Complaints of sea blubbers come also
from Tybee and other watering places in
the Standardization News and Cou-
riar

Grim old Chief Standing Bear (of the

rest of them had some experience on their
arrival at San Francisco that made them
more stoical than ever. AS they stepped
into the Baldwin, feathers awry and YER
million on their faces, they were at once
conducted to the elevator, as Clerk Har-
denburgh had assigned them TO rooms on
the fourth floor. The elevator door was
slammed and the lift proceeded to get in
its work. Then it was that the eyes OF
every individual Indian started from their
sockets. The sayages gave some big gasps
and held their hands over their belts. Not

that they were as near surprised as Indians
could be. Chadun, thirty miles from Pine

had been familiar with, the elevator

known that they were not positive as to

When the chieftains got ready to go to
bed they examined the mattresses and the
pillows critically, and finally concluded it
was utterly impossible to sleep upon them.
So after throwing open every window till
the night breezes played about like a
whirlwind they dismantled completely
the bedsteads. stacked up the mattresses,
pillows and coverlets against the walls,
