Have You seen the latost scientific
treatise on the probable cause Of the
moons rugged surfaceY It IS a we'll
known fact that every mile Of lunar sur
face compares very favorably with the
most mountainous portions Of Switzor-
land, being q succession OF high pin
nacles, deep holes and seemingly bot
tomless chasms
The best existing maps Of the moons
surface show l39, 500 Of these crater
like holes and over 100, 600 mountain
peaks, or projections, which compare
fnvorably with what we know to be
mountain peaks. Not longer since than
last summer tho astronomers gave It as
their opinion that these craterlike holes
and mountain peaks had been caused by
q prodigious shower Of aerolitos, OF
notoorites- That theory has been re-
Gently knocked out by noted European
astronomer. M. Verde. who gives it az
his opinion that the moon was originally
a vast aggregation Of miniature planets
which have amalgamated, OF coalesced,
into one. According 70 his theory, the
openings and projections are tho inter
stices which were left when the separate
fragments came together to form the
ball which all now recognize as the
Queen Of Night. He says that in all
probability there are several holes which
reach entirely through tho lunar world.

LIZARDS IN A TRANCE.
One Medical Authority Regards 10 ~ .
Kind Of Hypnotism.

An English scientific journal has re-
ceived an interesting communication on
the subject Of the 80 callod death
feigning instinct Of certain reptiles.
The correspondent, who writes from
Syria, says that when q certain species
OF Egyptian lizard is captured it makes
a few vigorous efforts to escape, and
then, If held firmly, falls into a limp,
motionless state, which might easily
lead an inexperienced person to think it
dead. The animal, however, is simply
in a trancelike condition.
Gentle respiratory movements are
visible just behind the shoulders and
sometimes show a rising and falling
rhythm with short intervals Of complete
rest The eyes remain wide open, but
are commonly half closed, and the lids
wink slowly from time to time spon-
taneously or by reflex action. The
mouth is almost open, sometimes wide,
sometimes but little, and in either case
the jaw is quite rigid. and If closed by
force is apt to reopen when the pressure
Is Withdrawn. The limbs lie extended
and semihaccid, with some approach to
a cataleptio condition.. g., If bent or
stretched into position not too strained,
they maintain such positions when let
go--and the samo is true Of the trunk
and toll.
A pin may be run through a fold Of
the skin without fully arousing the ami
NAL, a sluggish, feeble wriggle being
the sole result. The trance usually lasts
about fve minutes, when the animal,
by brusque effort, assumes its normal
position. This done, It lies quite still,
but evidently awake and observant for a
fow moments more, and then scuttles
of in hurry.
DR.. Van Dyck looks upon this mani
festation not as voluntary or conscious
death feigning, but as a form Of hyp-
notism. The natural enemies Of these
lizards are foxes, jackals, martens, birds
Of prey and snakes.
Can any one believe, asks Dr.. Van
Dyck, THAT any one of these animals,
having captured a lizard, would be in
the least inclined to let it 60 because it
lny motionless and apparently dead in
the captor's grasp? Or will it be argued
that the trance condition is a special
gift lin mercy to the victim, to mitigate
or abolish the pain Of death?' Pitts

BERKSHIRE PEoPLE.
The Spiritual and Intellectual Forcos Are
strong Among Them.


And this region, 80 favored by ma
ture, owes much Of its character and in
terest to its history as well. Settled lat
er than the seacoast, the western part
Of the state was in its beginnings made
up Of more varied elements than the
eastern. From tho valley Of the Connect
icut colonists pushed through the noun
tain gaps into that Of the Housatonic

and sandy lands Of Cape Cod, while the
Dutch from New Yo-k have left In

tions, and such forces have contributed
and continued their influences ever

throughout its history soldiers, saints

Jonathan Edwards, which for good and

powerful expression in his treatise on

The chanred nuhlo..

There seems no end to the curious
stories about jewels lost and stolen. One
Of the latest is that Of Mrs A, who re-
Gently took pair of large ruby solitaires
to be reset at IS, whero they had
been purchased. The morning after the
maid brought her the card of the flrm,
saying a gentleman wished to see her,
and ON going down to the drawing room
she found one Of the clerks, who told
her that the stones, which were appar-
emily Of great value, were in reality
false and worthless. Very much agitated
over the intelligence, Mrs A. asserted
that tho jewels had never left her pos
session since their purchase, and claim
ed that the fraud must have been, per-
petrated before she received them. This
Of course the firm denied, but the feel
ing on the subject became very bitter on
both sides, and detectives were employ
ed by both to ferret out the mystery.
When former butler Of Mrs. A. was
proved to DO a discharged clerk of the
well known jewellers, the inference was
obvious, although no proof against the
man has been found, and the jewels have
never been recovered. Boston Gazette.

HOW To TeLL A nAo Eaa.

An Infaliib1o French Method Which Re-
quires Only Lighted Candle.
When one calls for fresh egg in a
Par.sian eating house, the chances are
that ono will be properly served. Not
that there are no bad eggs in Paris as
well as elsewhere, but thore are certain
men employed at the central markots or
hallos whose only duty is to sift the bad
or doubtful eggs from the good ones. In
one Of the cellars of the halles one sees
a man passing his hands rapidly before
his eyes and in front Of lighted candle.
Around him are baskets containing
thousands Of eggs. His duty is TO sepa-
rate the bad ones from the good, and he
is remunerated at the rate Of 40 cen
times, or 10 cents, for 1000 eggs.
He acoomplishes his work with ex-
traordinary doxterity. With one hand
he takes three or four eggs and brings
them to the exact position he wishes be-
tween his eye and the lighted candle as
If by magic. For an egg to be good the
part that appears black must be COM
pletely detached from the part that ap-
pears white. In other words, the yolk
and the albumen must, through tho
transparency of the she'll, be seen to be
quito separate. The white looks as if It
Tadiates about the central nucleus, and
this nucleus is simply the embryo Of a
chicken, which being denser, floats in
tho liquid which nourishes it, When
there is confusion between the trans
parent and the obscure part, the egg is
doubtful.
To sort eggs out quickly requires a
long experience. The selection Of winter
provisions is an especially delicate task.
In addition to reporting ON the freshness
Of eggs, those operators in the central
markets also examine tho size Of eggs.
Those that pass through a certain sized
ring are put on one side as too small.
The employee separates eggs merely by
touching them. AS tho French markets
are flooded with tho produce Of tiny Ital-
ian chickens, the task Is often very
long one.
The men arc all sworn in TO do their
work honestly, and with their serious
and automatio look they make between
$3.50 and 81 day. The other employees
Of the hallos bow down to them and nre
ever willing TO acknowledge their scien-
tiho superiority. Philadelphia Times.

a sanson PaWned tho auIlIotIns.

The Sansons have a place in French
history, not only because they continued
so long to hold their odious Office, but
because two Of their number, a father
and son, held Office during the evil days
of the roign of terror, when they were
kept SO busily engaged with their gull
lotine. The last of the Samson dynasty
was dismissed from his post in the reign
Of Louis Philippe, in 1847, under re-
markable circumstances. Although be
had inherited a comfortable fortune
from his father, the executioner Of the
revolution, he got into pecuniary difii-
culties and was guilty Of pawning his
guillOtine, surely the most lugubrious
pledge ever taken by mortal pawnbro-
ker. An order came from the procurrtor
general for the execution of a criminal,
and the necessary apparatus was not
forthcoming. The prison authorities had
perforce to get It out Of pawn, and the
execution took place. But the last Of
the Sansons was informed that his serv-
ices would TO longer be required. What
became Of him afterward does not ap-
pear 20 bO known. London News.

"You know, said Liszt, ''that Mem
delssohn, who was the most jealous mu-
sician that ever lived, always had dis
like for me, and ON one occasion, at q
soiree at DR.. K. s, he drew picture Of
the devil ON a blackboard, playing his
@ minor concerto with five hammers, in
lieu Of fingers, on each hand. The truth
Of tho matter is that once played his
concerto In q minor from the manu-
script, and as found several Of the
passages rather simple and not broad
enough, if l may use the term, changed
them to suit my own ideas. This Of
course annoyed Mendelssohn, who, un-
like Schumann or Chopin, would never
take a hint or advice from any one.
Moreover, Mendelssohn, who, although
refined pianist, was not q virtuoso, never
could play my compositions with any
kind Of effect, his technical skill boing
inadequate 20 the execution Of intricate
passages. SO the only course open to
him, he Thought, was to vilify me as q
musician. And Of course whatever Men,
delssohn did Leipsio did also. "-Etude.

Bartholemy Maurice gives the num-
ber Of persons sent from tho Conciergerie
to the guillotine as 2,742. OF these
344 were women, Al were infants,
1O2 were over 20 years Of age, while
ono man, d. T. q. Dervilly, epioier,
Rue Mouffetard, was 90 years Of age.
Taino suggests that the numbers given
are understated, and il Is more than
probable that such records, at least
during the Terror, were badly kept and
are unreliable. For anything like cor
rect record Of the total number Of VIC
Tins of the Jacobins we must consult
Taine.
Tho error surely consists in underes-
timating greatly the number Of persons
destroyed, and the traditions Of the
Conoiergerie as to the numbers butcher
ed in the September massacres are doubt
less untrustworthy. OF those butchered
no full record was kept Considering
the Conoiergerie as a storehouse for the
guillotine and remembering how short
a time the mass Of the prisoners passed

Such language as you used Is not flt
language to use TO a magistrate in q

did not employ slang. The verb tool
lar" has long been used transitively,
meaning to "soize or take hold Of a per-
son by the collar; more loosely, to cap
ture. The verb was thus employed
early in the seventeenth century. Steele,
in The Guardian, No 81, wrote, "If
you advised him not to collar any
man" Other instances are; Gentle
