EARLY TRACES OF MAN.

He Existed In Denmark and scandi-
naVla Seven Thousand Years
Ago.
When was man first placed on earth?
No one can answer that question.
Hugh Miller says that mans habit OF
burying his dead out Of sight makes it
very easy to be mistaken on that
point; for, because of burial, mems
bones may be found among the ami
mails that have lain in the earth for
ages. There is one thing however,
that gives us an linking OF when he
came. Certain tools, that only man
could have made, have been found
buried in caves, in peat beds, and in
the bottom of lakes. Often these are
covered by layers of rock; and, by
calculating how long it took to make
the layers, a guess can be made as to
when the tools were put there. Still,
it is only a guess, and no one pretends
to regard the question as settled, be-
cause under some conditions the lay
ers would be made much faster than
under others. But the bones of certain
animals, the mammoth and other
great creatures of that time, which
have long since died, have been found
with these tools, writes Theresa Crof-
ton in St. Nicholus BY calculating
in what ages these animals lived, and
how long it takes a race of animals to
die out, a sure: result can be arrived
st. In a cave in England, buried I'M
der a limestone layer from one to fiji
teen inches thick, tools. have been
found mingled with the bones OF ele-
plants, tigers, rhinoceroses, and
hyenas, which roamed over that
country thousands and thousands of
years ago. The peat bogs Of what is
now Denmark and Scandinavia are
filled with stone tools: Some have
been found in beds OF gravel, under]y-
ing peat which is certainly Z, 1000 years
old. This seems to show that man
must have dwelt on earth at least az
manV wears ago

HOW THE TURKS SMOKE.
Gen. Lew Wallace Chats About Eat

Gen. Lew Wallace Chats About Eat
ing and Smoking Of the Orientals,
An enthusiast on the subject of fine
tobacco is Gen. Lew Wallace, the auth
or of "Ben Hur" and ex-Minister to
Turkey. A Mail and Expressman
not long ago had a chat with him about
tobacco and the kind the Orientals
smoked. He said:
'"The Turks smoke the purest tobac-
co, generally in the form OF cigarettes
They get their cigarettes from Smyrna.
The cigarette paper is not doctored
with creosote, and the tobacco is pure
and sweet. They have knack OF us
ing tobacco in the Orient which as vet
has not been learned in this country
Nearly everybody smokes in Turkey.
The women of the harem are inveter-
ate cigarette smokers, and they donot
seem to grow less beautiful from the
use OF the weed. They have also q
pipe called the nargileh, which is q
large bowl with many tubes to it. A
number OF women sit around and
smoke and gossip.
"They do not have any quilting
parties, as the women in this country,
and so much OF their small talk is
done around the nargileh. In the cafes
the customers smoke, and, in fact, an
entertainment of any kind would be
incomplete without the soothing chi
bouque. The deleterious effect Of
tobacco is not noticeable in Turkey.
l confess cannot smoke tire cigarettes
made in this country"
care the Turks great eaters?"
'"They live well. Nearly all OF them
have French cooks, especially the
wealthy who live in citiea Some of
the dishes cooked by native Turks are
very palatable. | once ate regular
Turkish dinner and enjoyed it very
much. Many of the dishes had I'M
prounceable names and were mixed,
but they were peculiarly seductive to
taste. Other dishes, OF course, were
not so pleasant to the palate

A fat woman stopped. a down bound
Buffalo car and climbed aboard
as best she could She was handi

had great difficulty in getting into

would set it down only don't dare:
let it go out of my hands It's con-
tents are valuable"
''But you must get out of the way"
The fat woman sputtered and
scolded and wound up by saying that
She would not put the basket down,
she would not get off the car, that
she didn't care if she did block up
the doorway and the conductor was
no gentleman, anyhow, or he would
not speak to lady about a little
thing like a market basket
'*Madam," said the conductor,
after the fat woman had Quoted
down, lit will be perfectly safe over
here in the corner:
III don't believe it. I'm afraid to
trust it there. The contents of the
basket are likely to get hurt down
there under those mems feet"
And she stood there all the way
from Bryant street to Swan and
every person who got on or off
rubbed against that basket. The
men swore and the women said Dear
me!' and looked unutterable things.
And the fat woman hung onto her
basket.
When the car stopped at Swan
street an understood man who was
bule said:
"Excuse, mo madam, but if you
won't considerit impertinence l would
like to know what you have in that
basket that You are guarding so
closely?"
The fat woman looked pleased.
''Wel," she said, Il don't mind tell
in you, SEEM you inquired. They's
lot of old magazines that my
daughter let me take to read"
And the conductor swore seven
times under his breath and then
went out and said sarcastic things
to the motorman

"A Steam CarriuEe.

Y. l.. Simonds, of Lynn, Mass, has
made steam carriage for his own use
that will make ten miles an hour. The
carriage weighs only 400 pounds and

visions made for a horse The wheels
are OF cycle make and are four in num-
Der. The hind wheels are 43 inches
ana the front wheels are 36 inches,
with rubber tires. The boiler and en-
CINE set just in the rear Of the seat
and give the carriage the appearance
of fire engine. The steam generates
in what is called a porcupine boiler,
which weighs 100 pounds. The steam
is made by naphtha flames from three
jets. The naphtha is kept in cylinder
enough to- last for seven holcs, and
there is water tank that will hold ten
gallons. There is 4 pump that is auto
matte in action directly connected with
the engine: The steering part consists
Of crank wheel on the footboard, so
that the engineer can steer and attend
to the engine at the same time The
body Of the carriage rests on a cradle
and three springs. 1t is easy riding,
and allowance has been made for ev-
cry movement. The shafts are of steel
and can stand all Of 1000 pounds. Mr..
Simonds has given the steam carriage

There is an upper chamber,
Where oft the soul repairs,
And to its lofty portals =
Ascend the golden stairs
1hat ancient, mystic ladder,
Whose rungS are numbered seven,
On earth the lowest resting,
The topmost reaching heaven. ~,
From out its jasper windows,
The soul looks off afar, d..
And penetrates the Utmost
OF many distant star;
Those stars whose radiant beauty
Will make the bosom swell,
Vet of their differing glory,
No words can fifty tell.
Its walls of stones most precious
Shut out all woes and tears,
While, rapt, the soul is listening
To music of the spheres.
Those strains of thrilling concord,
Where love and wisdom blend
With hope and faith in anthems
Ofjoy that never end.

That strength is ever found,
And power to conquer daily
The wrestling hosts around;
And there the soul finds, waiting,
Peace with her soft embrace,
For through its crystal ceiling

Origin of Closure Rule.

This word closure, about which we
are hearing so much, came into legis-
latlve' use in the British house Of
commons in 1887, and is applied to a
rule which cuts off debate and pre-
vents further discussion or motion by
the minority, bringing tho question
to a direct and conclusive vote. The
French word cloture is often en-
ployed to express the same thing. 1t
is really an emphatic and decisive
way of saying: Come, we have
talked enough about this matter; we
must decide now"

Heat Rays in Incandescent Lamps.
i: B. James makes suggestion that
may serve as pointer to lamp manu-
facturers who are seeking to turn out
a lamp that will give the maximum
efficiency at a minimum of cost. He
mentions that Il German chemist has
succeeded i'll producing a glass which,
While perfectly transparent, is impervi-
GUS to heat waves. If an incandesoent
lamp be grasped, and the current
turned on, heat is instantly felt, but an
appreciable time will elapse before the
glass becomes hot. In one case heat
has been transmitted through the glass
instantly as heat; in the other, te1npera-
ture has been transmitted. Mr. James
shows that the principal reason why
electric globes are so relatively irefti-
clent is that the white-hot carbon gives
out waves, not only Of the requisite
length to affect the eye, but also waves
Of all possible lengths longer than these.
The light rays arc all within q very
small compass~-from 100000 to $780,
goo OF an inch long, and as a matter of
fact, the all possible lengths longer than
these, include by far the greater part
or the energy of the current. 1t is along
this line Mr.. James proposes that ex-
pertinent shall follow. If a glass can
be made which will keep back these
longer, i. e., heat waves, a heat can be
accumulated in the globe approaching
the melting point Of the glass, if neces-
sary, and consequently the flament can
be kept white hot at an expenditure of
much smaller amount Of current The
point at which this heating Of the glass
should be stopped could be suitably de-
termined and regulated. 1t is stated
that the glass for which this quality is
claimed is composed OF sodium, sand
and kaOlin.
