Limits of Natural vision.

The limits of vision vary with eleva-
ton, conditions of the atmosphere, in

flying clements in different cases On
a clear day an object one foot above "a
level plain may be seen at distance of
1.3I miles; one ten feet high, 1. 10 miles;
ono 20 feet high, $50 miles; one 100
feet high, 13.1 miles; one mile high,

This allows inches, or, to be exact,
6.99 inches, for the curvature of the
earth, and assumes that the size and
illumination of the object are sufficient
to produce an image. Five miles may
be taken as the extreme limit at which
man is visible on the fiat plain to an

Chinese from Their Infancy Learn to Ir-
more Amy Such Thing as Monotony.
It seems to make no particular differ
ence to Chinese how long he remains
in one posi- ton. He will write all day
like an automaton. If he is handi-
craftsman he will stand in one place
from dewy morn till duslxy eve, work
ing away at his weaving, his gold beat
ing or whatever it may be; and do it
every day, without any variation in
the monotony and apparently no
special consciousness that there is any
monotony to be varied In the same
way, says a writer in the Melbourne
Leader, Chinese school children are
subjected to an amount of confinement,
unrelieved by any recesses or change of
work, which would soon drive western
pupils to the verge of insanity. The
very infants in arms, instead of squirm-
ing and wrigghng as our children be-
gin to do as soon as they are born, lie
as impassive as SO many mud gods.
And at more advanced age, when
western children would vie with the
monkey in its widest antics, Chinese
children will often stand, sit or squat
in the same position for a great length
of time.
In the item of sleep the Chinese
establishes the same differences be-
tween himself and the Occidental as IN
the directions already specified. Gen
orally speaking, he is able to sleep
anywhere. None of the trifing dis
turbances which drive us to despair
annoy him. With brick for pillow
he can lie down on his bed of stalks, of
mud bricks or rattan, and sleep the
sleep of the just, with no reference to
the rest of creation. He does not want
his room darkened nor does he require
others to be still. The stinfant crying
in the night may continue to cry for
all he cares, for itedoes not disturb
him.
In some regions the entire popula-
ton seem to fall asleep, as by a COM
mon instinct like that of the hiber-
mating bear) during the first two hours
of summer afternoons, and they do
this with regularity, no matter where
they may be. At two hours after noon
the universe at such seasons is as still
as at two hours after midnight. In
the case of most working people at
least and also in that of many others
position in sleep is of no sort of conse-
quence. It would be easy to raise in
China an army of one mi1lion-nay, Of

their mouths wideop and fly inside.
The same freedom from tyranny of
nerves is exhibitedlin the Chinese en-
durance of physical pain. Those who
have any acquaintance with the oper-
ations in hospitals in China know how
common or rather universal it is for
the patients to bear without fiinchine
degree of pain from which the
stoutest of us would shrink in terror.

DOG TRAINED 10 STEAL.

Tho Latest Curiosity of Crime in the
Worlds Metropolis.
This curious account of the depreda-
tion of felonous dog is from the Lon
don Daily Graphic. Frederick Hamp-
ton, forty-five, described as a fish,
xaonger, of London road, Croydon, was
charged on remand recently before
Mr. Biron, at the Lambeth police court,
with stealing and receiving a 1ady's silk
umbrella, value seven shillings six
pence, the property of Louisa Squires.
The evidence already given showed
that on Saturday the prosecutrix was
walking along Kensington park road
with an umbrella in her hand. She saw
n trap coming along and dog rum
ming behind. The dog came toward
her, took hold of the umbrella and
shook it, and she had to let go.
The dog, then ran off with the UNI
brella in the same direction as the trap
The prisoner. who was driving, was af-
terward arrested, and upon searching
the trap the policeman found seven UNI
brellas, including the one identified by
Miss Squires.
"A second case was gone into. Mrs.
Henrietta Ray, the wife of DIR. Ray, of
East Croydon, stated that at the begin
ming of last month she was walking
along London road, Croydon, in COM
Pany with two other ladies. The wit
ness was carrying a sunshade; dog
Suddenly ran up to her, snatched her
sunshade and ran after the trap, in
which there were two persons That
morning she saw the suDshade at the
court.

ings.. The prisoner was committed

CITY COUNCIL OF KEMPEN.

Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong Point,
Like That of Some Other Councils.
Kempen, a town IN Holland on the
lower Rhine {the birthplace of Thomas
a Kempis), is famous residence OF peo-
pie with small incomes. The imagina-
ton of these Dutchmen must be as linn
tied as their incomes, judging from the
drOll stories that are told of them, saws
Harper's Young People.
AT one time a fire broke out, and
much damage was done because the en-
gines were out of repair. The council
met, and after much argument it was
voted that on the eve preceding every
fire the town officers should carefully
examine the engines, pumps, etc
One of the greatest profits of the town
was the toll eXacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll it
voted to double the number of gates.
This same council also ordered the sun
dial to be taken from the courthouse
common and placed under cover, where
1T would be protected from the weather.
But of all the queer things that are
told of Kempen and its people nothing
is so absurd as this: Grass grew on the
top of very high tower, and the only
way these droll Dutchmen could think
of to get it off was to hoist cow up
and let her eat it.

FLocklNe TO NEW ENGLAND.

French Canadians to the Number of Half
Million Now Over the Border.
quicter immigration movement on
scale SO extensive as that of the French
Canadians to the United States has
never been witnessed. The majority of
our citizens have as yet no idea of the
extent and results. 1t is chiefly within
the last generation that this new ma
tion,' as it may be styled, has noiseless-
ly overspread the northeastern states.
To-day, according to the New England
Magazine, this new population through
out the United States numbers consider
ably over S00.O00. In New England and
New York there are more than 500 600;
in Massachusetts alone the figures
reach 1905 This is an astounding
aggregate for the brief period of their
immigration and the extent of the
sources of supply. This result far ex-
ceeds, prop ortionately, that to the
credit of either Ireland or Germany.
According to La Guide Froncaise des
Etats Unis qS91), they own real estate
to the amount of S105, 1926, 500, and TO-
696 of the race are doing business for
themselves AS we have already seen,
this people, chiefly agricultural, back
ward in education and primitive in
habit, numbered 65,O0O at the time of
the cession of Canada to England-1T59-
60-while at the present time there are
1,7O0, 900 of them, not including the out
flow to adjoining provinces and the
United States.

IN THE HAYFIELDs.

There the Artist Finds Sketches Designed
by Mistress Nature.
est. Barnabas, NOW the grass is an
old country saying; but, although St.
Barnabas' day falls when the meadows
are generally ripe for moving, there is
no crop SO ''tickle,'' as the Yorkshire
farmers say, as the time at which it
must be cut. Hay must fall when the
grasses are in flower. Walk into a hay
field in the second week in June, says
an English review. and you will see the
pollen dropping from the fescue and
i timothy, and the yellow from the but
tercups lodges on your boots. Then the
beauty of good meadow can be seen
and understood The trefoil and yell
low sucking are ankle deep, and
little above rises the perennial red
,clover-thc white being not yet in full
blossom. The true grasses reach to
the knee, the growth becoming less
dense as it rises higher; and the crown
ing glory of beauty IS the wild-eyed OK
daisies-lnere dear, however, to the
artist than TO the farmer. Dotted
among the grasses are carnine meadow
veching and a dozen other small le-
guminosae, yellow weasel snout, but
tercups and wild blue geraniuIn In 4
strangely beautiful picture of Durer's
which we once saw the artist had evil
IDENTIFY painted the section. of hay
field. One seemed to be lying on the
cut grass and looking at the wall left
after the last sweep of the scythe.
Every flower, every stalk of grass was
painted, the white daisies filing the
top of the canvas. Not only sight but
scent is needed to judge the maturity
of the crop. In walk through acres
of moving grass to determine the
condition of the blossom, the fragrance
of the odors from the almost invisible
flowers of the grasses and OF the tiny
clovers, crowsfoot and trefoil that
t'blush unseen in the thick growth at
the bottom is almost stupefyirg, and
is certain in some cases to bring on a
violent attack of hay fever at night
If the flower is fully out, then the hay
must be cut, no matter how threatens
ing the weather, and no crop lies SO
completely at the mercy of the skies as
does the hay. If the crop be short it
cannot then be left to grow. The
grass must fall while the blossom is
upon it or the cattle will not eat l..
''Better let it spoil on the ground than
spoil as it grows" is country axiom.
For the latter is a certain loss, and a
days bright sun. and wind may always
dry fallen crop

The palmetto Proving I1ssfn,.

The graceful palmetto, that grows Sc
prOfusely in the lower tiers of the
southern states, has recently become
factor in the Industries of the south,
for its wood is hard enough to carve
and its fiber is strong enough to make
excellent cordage and useful substi-
tute for sponges. In Jacksonville, Fla,
\ factory has been started for the pur.
pose of making brushes and brooms of
the fiber, and elsewhere sink brushes
are being made of the wood, half of
whose thickness is being converted into
bristling points The young leaves OF
the tree make salad that the people
are beginning to appreciate, and the
taste of it is ikened to that of chest
nuts Bears knew about it long before
the people did, and it is favorite arti-
Gle of diet among them the black

A WORLDS FAIR ELEPHANT.
The Coney Island AffAir to He outdons
mt Chicago.

at Chicago.
The Colossal Elephant Company at
Chicago announces that it will erect z
huge elephant of iron, wood and steel
which is to surpass the efforts in this
line of the Liverpool of America-New
York Coney Island has an elephant
the top of whose hodah rises to a height
of 100 feet That of Chicago is to go up
200 feet.
J. Mason Kirby, of New Brooklyn, is
described in the prospectus of the COM
pany as ''the only person who ever
fbuilt, or can build, an elephant build
ing" He is an incorporation of the
company, b. H. Benton, of New York,
and f. b. Benton, of Chicago, being the
othera.s The company has secured the
patent right for the colossal elephant
business in Illinois. The capital stock,
it is said, will be $500. 600, the cost of
the elephant to be s250,000.
The elephant is to be erected just out
side of the exposition buildings, its
exact location being withheld for the
present. The work upon the colossus
will be completed before the opening of
the worlds fair. In the huge legs of
the animal elevators viii be run, the
Interior is to be divided into sumptu-
ously equipped apartments, parlors,
dining-rooms and dancing halls. Both
legs and body are to be illuminated in
the day by large plate glass windows,
and at night by brilliant electric lights.
In fhe back of the monstrous image
will rise the hodah, the carriage in
which the elephant in his native land
carries the nabobs of the east. 1t will
