There is something very mysterious
about the color of human blood, or,
rather, as to what causes its red color.
The psychologists say that "the color
of blood is due to the red corpuscles
which are contained in the vein
fuids," but this does not entirely ex.
plain the mystery. An aggregation OF
blood corpuscles are red, to be sure.
but in small numbers they are yellow,
while one or two examined separately
are found to be very light straw
color. Why q large aggregation of
these tiny discs should convey the inn
preston of red to our senses, while a
few show yellow and q single speci.
men a light straw collar, is something

rious" would like to see explained

MAGNETISM OF GREAT CITIES


Modern Ease Of Travel Increaslng Their
Importance.
Our point is and has been ere now,
that London is more than ever central.
lied for this whirl Of pleasure. Tho
railways and all the other facilities"
which it was fondly supposed might
threatenhits supremacy have only con.
firmed and extended it. In the tug Of
war between the metropolis and the
great provincial cities, it is the latter
that have to come over the line. For
anything and everything doing in this
festive way, it is so much easier to run
up to town and have done with it.
You come up for q 6rst night. or dim
ner, with little or no sense Of q breech
of continuity between the after
Moons work Of to-day. The first nights
are. of course, imperatively metro
politan. If you want to see play be-
fore your neighbors see it, there is but
one way. The drama goes on tour in
the provinces" more than ever, but it
no longer takes its rise there. In art,
indeed. little local autonomy is still
left. There is Glasgow school which
is fairly independent of London. There
used to be Manchester school, but
we have not head of it of late. And
all, if they care to speak their inmost
thought, would confess that their eyes
were strained toward London, and
their hearts set on its verdict.
This Capitalization of the more
pleasurable interests, while it seems
narrowing in its tendency. is, in reali.
ty, precisely the reverse. London hav.
ing become the universal provider for
such delights. it is but railway jour.
ney. and all is ready TO your hand in
measureless abundance. A man whd
has to collect his recreation by
samples gathered here, there and
everywhere, would. as rule,
have but beggarly store.
Life would not be long enough
for it. nor the pocket either. if he had
to 60 to one end of the kingdom for his
art, to another for his drama, and all
over the place for his sports and his
minor diversions. In respect of such
advantages. the Cockney with a pound
in his pocket, and day to call his
Athenian of the time Of Perlcles. He
is a citizen of no mean city. If he
knows his way about he may take
his morning walk through avenues OF
palaces bordered by some of the
loveliest gardens in the world. While
the pound lasts it is positively be-
wildering to think of the multitude
of diversions that are open to him.
When it is gone he is by no mean,
without recourse. His picture gal
leries and museums are incomparably
finer than any in private ownership
and they enable him to feel tender
pity Tor the millionaire. These are al
to be had for nothing. And, while {
penny is left, there is always the in
comparable spectacle of London from

A well-dressed, middle-aged man sat
at table in Grant avenue rotisserie
last evening industriouslv picking the
bones of a small bird. He held leg
in his fingers, and after he had stripped
the bone carelessly tossed it off the
table on the floor. The other diners
sitting near were properly shocked,
and a surprised waiter picked up the
bone and carried it out.
The man seemed distracted and did
not observe that he had created sen.
sation as he picked up the other leg.
He nib bled at it, surveyed it critically
and nibbled again till it was bare and
then tossed it over his shoulder. It
landed on the plate Of an elderly gen.

table.
