Land animals and plants are distribnt-
ed in zones whose limits follow lines Of
equal tempera rnre, but just. when the.
Temperature exerts its restraining in
huence has been matter OF uncertainty.
In his recent study of the problem for
the United States, DR.. G. Hart Merriam
has considered that not only the mean.
temperature but also the total quantity
of heat in particular zones must have an
influence. He measures the total quan
tity of heat by the sum of the excuses
over 43 degrees. the temperature at
which physiological activity in plants
and reproductive activity in animals are
assumed to comm ence, and arbitrarily
takes the six hottest consecutive weeks
Of summer as the hot season of the year
Charts constructe according to these
considerations, and compared with
chart Of life zones as mapped two years
ago, show surprising condolences, lead
ing Dr. Merriam to conclude that the
various zones of the different species
are limited northwartd by the total
quantity of heat during the season of
reproduction, and southwark by the
mean temperature of the hottest part of
the year. The overlapping of northern
and southern types on the Pacific Coast
is explained by. this theory, as here only

LITTLE DANES AND MEN.

We must all remember whom
We were little danes and men,
When each sorrow tugged away with all It's
might
At our little hearts and eyes
Till the air was full Of signs
And the brightest day was turned to darkest
night.
How we'd weep,
How we'd creep
To our little beds to sleep,
With wet lashes on flushed faces even then
Not soul would ever know
Half our agony, and so
We should sympathjze With little danes and
We must all remembH When
We were little danes and men
When we meet the little ones from day to day
A kind word is just as cheap,
And it sinks to depths as deep
AS the harsh one you were sending down their
way.
If you knew
How few
Gracious acts and words from yon
We're planted in their souls, to blossom when
Golden days of childhood seem
To be shadows Of dream,
You would love and cherish little dam - and

The poorest peid teachers in the put
lilo schools Of the largest cities of this
Union are to be found in New York.
The average salary Of a teacher and
school supervisor there is only s677. In
Boston it is 81, 900. Its system of public
education proves more conclusively than
any other fact that New York is not an
American city. While even Cincinnati
pays ont $707 year per head for edu-
eating her school children New York
pays only $G.oS. Thirty. eight per cent
of the big city's children are not in any
school at all. A village in this country
with population Of 5000 that could
not make bStter showing ought to bs
ashamed to tell it's name.

MINERAL WOOL,
The Process by Which the Useful Sllicase
Cotton Is Produced.

The Process by Which the Useful s,,ica'e
Cotton Is Produced.
Of those who know what nj, wal
wool is, or silicate cotton, as it 10 SO. -
times called, probably only a small
number are familiar with the simple
process by which it is made. The wool
itself, serving a variety Of useful pur.
poses, as nonconducting covering
against heat and cold alike, for steam
pipes and cold storage room walls, as a
sound "deadener' in floors Of buildings
and as means of fireproofng, among
many others, is, as it's name implies,
soft and woolly substance, consisting of
mass of very fine mineral fbers inter
lacing one another in every direction,
and thus forming an endless number of
minute air cells.
The wool appears on the mari-et in /,
variety Of colors, principally white, but
often yellow or gray and occasionally
quite dark and is made by converting
scorial and certain rocks while i'll
molten state into fbrous condition by
asteam blast directed against the liquid
material. Blast furnace Stag forms the
raw material for one variety of the wool
and sandstone for another, yielding re
spectively Stag wool and rock wool, the
latter being preferable for pipe covering
because of the absence from it of sui.
phur, which, with moisture present, be-
comes an active corroding agent
The furnace Stag or the rock, as the
case may be, is melted in large cupo
La, and as it trickles out at the tap hole
In somewhat sluggish stream it meets
high pressure steam jet which atom
ICES the wooden mineral, if it may be so
termed, blowing it in feecy clouds into
the storage room provided for it, Soft
and downy, the stuff settles wherever
resting place affords itself, the heavier
and easier wool coming down first, while
the lighter portions are blown farther
along by the force Of the steam and set
tie in the more distant parts of the
room, the material thus naturally grad
ing itself into varieties of different
quality.
A thousand pounds Of wool per hour
are turned out by one of the cupolas.
and after the storage room has been
blown full the focculent mass is pushed
into bags, ready for the market. The
whole process affords an admirable and
interesting illustration Of the utilization
Of an utterly waste product.-Cassier
magazine.

The Silver Mouse.
r. D. CHESTER.

A Prussian officer, quartered in Alsace,
one day visited chapel in the outskirts OF
the town. Greatly surprised at seeing a
q silver mouse among the vOtive offerings,
he demanded an explation from an intel
ligent native" who was showing him around.
IAN entire quarter of the town." the Al
satan proceeded to relate, was once infested
by an army of mice, which constituted a
veritable plague. Then kind-hearted lady
took it into her head to get silver mouse
made and to present it to the Virgin. A week
afterward all the mice had disappeared"
The officer burst out laughing and ex-
claimed: "What! Are the people in this
country so stupid as to believe such
things?"
ooh, no." promptly replied the Alsatian,
"for if we did we should have long since
offered the Virgin silver Prussian."
