Character Told in Wrinkles.

An Italian scientist, NJ. Montegaz-
20, has written an essay upon the
science of wrinkles. He believes ones
history can be largely told by the
lines upon the face. Entering into a
description of the different varieties
and their meaning, he says: "Hori-
zontal lines across the forehead are
found even in children who are rick
cts or idiots, and that being out in
the sun with the eyes unshaded will
produce them prematurely, but they
are natural at forty or earlier. YER
ticle lines between the eyes denote
thought and study, since deep con-
centration contracts the eyebrows
grief and worry produce the same
effect, and, frequently repeated, either
leaves q permanent fold in the skin.
Arched wrinkles just above the nose
indicate extreme suffering, either men
tai or physical The earliest wrinkles
Of all and the most unavoidable are
those which run from either side of
the nostril down to the mouth, and
these are produced by smiling and
even the motion of the jaws in masti;
cating-a warning to gum-chewers!"

Shark Lore From Hawaii.

a tiger shark was caught recently off
the coast of Maui, near Kaanapali,
Hawaii. Inside it were eighteen lit
tie sharks about two feet long. This
ovoviviparous characteristic of some
species of sharks has probably given
rise to many of the Hawaiian super
stitions about these monsters of the
bea. Some years ago monster female
shark was caught near the Island Of
Kauai. Inside of her were found fif-
ty-two young sharks. It is not known
to many that the terrible teeth of the
shark are flexible and at the will of
the fish lie fiat in rows, so that no
teeth are apparent. As it appears
that the female protects her young by
opening her mouth and permitting
them to run into her body, it is evi-
dent that the power to lay the teeth
down on fat surface is provision
of nature by which the young sharks
can be taken in and out of the body
without being injured by the teeth

The New National Library.

The plans of Librarian Spofford and
Superintendent Green, of the new
Congressional Library building, at
Washington, include an ingenious de-
vice for supplying books to the Capt.
tol. They expect to meet the de-
mands of Senators and members of the
House for literature from the Nations
vast store through an underground
conduit constructed between the two
buildings.
At present the books are obtained
by personal application to an assistant
librarian. The new library building
is only about 200 yards from the Cap
itol buildings, and it is believed that
the obstacle of distance can be over
come by the construction of an under.
ground passageway and the use of
pulley with an ingenious car, which
has been invented specially for this
purpose.
! A pneumatic tube is also to be en-
ployed for the purpose of ordering
books. A portion of the books now
in the library, about 10000 volumes
of them, will be left in their present
quarters for still greater convenience.

days to cut and load it on the car.

A Curiosity of Lunacy,

There is a special form of mental
disease first described In France,
whose definite character is given to it
by its periodicity, and hence it is
called folie circulaire. In it there are
three sections of the mental circle
that the patient moves in, namely, ele-
vation, depression and sanity, and in
this round he spends his life, passing
out of one into another, for it is, when
fully established, very incurable dis
ease.
The patient takes an attack of
mania, during which he is joyous, rest
less, troublesome, extravagant and often
vicious. He eats vorac1ously, sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His
temperature is degree or SO above
the normal, his eye is bright and
glistening, he is enamored of the
other sex, he shows diminished self
control and no common sense.
This lasts for few weeks, or few
months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually and some
times rather suddenly into condition
of depression, during which he is
sluggish, dull, looking differently,
dressing differently, eating differently,
fearful, unreliant and sedentary in
habits. ~, .... ....
This state will last few weeks or
months, and the patient will brighten
up into what seems recovery, and is
to all intents and purposes in his
normal state. This, again, lasts for q
few weeks or months, and he gradu-
ally gets morbidly elevated. You
find he is passing through every min
ute mental phase and habit he did at
first; depression follows as before,
and then sanity; and this round of
three states of feeling, of intellect, of
volition and of nutrition goes on, cir
Gle after circle, till the patient dies.

COlOring Wood.

To produce upon new wood the ap.
pearance of age is something upon
which great deal of time, money and
thought has been expended. A new
dye or stain that promises to be more
satisfactory than any heretofore used,
is made by adding to one thousand
parts of water fifty parts of CONNER
cial alizarin. Into this the ammonia
is put, drop by drop. until portion
of the liquid taken from the bulk and
agitated gives off distinct ammonia
odor. This stain will color maple to q
red brown, giving it the appearance
of age that is 30 much desired by low
ers Of fine furniture. Under the same
treatment, oak takes on yellow
brown. After-treatment with calcium
chloride gives a much darker and
richer color. The value of many
sorts of wood is greatly increased by
dark colorin G, and as this stain strikes
deep into the wood, it is at once prac-
tical and of a good deal of CONNER.

Millionaire, but Mule Driver.

M. Max Lebaudy, the young French
millionaire, is now mule driver in
the Fifth Squadron of the military
train at Fountainebleau. He was
allowed four days grace after the ordi-
nary ccnscripts, and oddly began his
duties on Wednesday last. It was re-
ported that he would escape service,
owing to weakness of the heart, but
he has been declared fit by the army
doctors, and will have to remain in
the service for three years. M. Max
Lebaudy has hired house at Eoul-
tainebleau, with large stables attached
for his horses and roomy quarters for
his servants.-London Telegraph.

The Leap OF the Salmon.

A few years ago I had occasion to
say something about the leaping pow
ers of the Atlantic salmon, and what
I said was criticised by a we'll known
angling authority. 7 mentioned that
it was reported that salmon in Nor
wegian rivers had jumped up and over
an obstruction sixteen feet high. My
friend and critic contended that sal
mon couldnot jump to exceed six feet.
I then brought forward evidence from
a number of anglers, fishing inspec-
tors, fish commissioners, etc., in this
country and in Europe to show that
salmon had made leaps ranging from
ten to sixteen feet, and still my critic
was not, convinced. Under date OF Oc.
tober %, 1894, Professor A. Land.
mark, inspector of freshwater fisheries
for Norway, writes me from Christi
ania about his experiments In marking
salmon and sea trout for the purpose
of observing their migrations, and he
has this to say about the leap of the
salmon:
"Concerning the height that salmon
con jump under favorable circum-
stances there is in one place in Nor.
way undeniable evidence that salmon
sometimes have made a perfectly clear
Jump of sixteen feet perpendicular
height. No doubt a jump of the said
height is quite unusual; but having
myself examined the spot where the
occurrence had taken place, and heard
the evidence of persons who have
themselves witnessed it, I cannot
doubt the fact" Forest and Stream.

An Electric Needle.

The electric needle is simply fine
needle connected with one of the poles
of an electric battery. When used it
is inserted in the flesh, second
needle, attached to the other pole, is
brought near to the first on the out
side of the flesh and the electric cur.
rent turned on. The current enters
the flesh on the first needle and passes
through the flesh to the second
needle, burning with the electric
spark that part of the flesh through
which the current passes. The needle
is used for removing hair from the
face of women; it removes the hair
and burns the roots out without much
pain at the time, but it is apt to in
jure the skin finally, and in the case
of sensitive persons has produced i'm

Music In China and Japan.

Nations which have the gift of aris.
tic coloring and harmony of design
are almost invariably lacking in the
harmony of musical sound. Chinese
and Japanese music is mouotonous in
the extreme, and their singing has
been aptly compared "to series of
monotonous, high-toned falsetto notes,
resembling the sad bowling of the
wind in storm or the wall of ban
shee."
This arises, not from physical in.
capacity, but from want of knowledge
of music as an art. There are no sweet
singers among Japanese and Chinese
birds. The lark, blackbird, nightin-
gale, thrush and mocking bird are un-
known, 80 the melancholy cries of the
gull, the hawk, and the kite seem to
serve as models for the walls and
shrieks of their uncultured human
voices. Detroit Free Press.

Odd Names for Young Birds.

There are some odd names for game
birds far down the Chesapeake. A
small shy snipe that flies with twit-
tering noise is called the horsefoot
snipe, because of its fondness for the
horsefoot or horseshoe crab. It is
called also the turnstone, from its
habit of overturning pebbles in search
of food. The telltale snipe bears that
name because it always sounds note
of alarm at the sight of gunner.
Chesapeake gunners believe that
single telltale can clear whole region
of game birds. The widgeon is locally
called the bald pate, and the willet is
so called because of it's cry, "Wil-
will-willet. Chicago Herald.
