How to Walk Upstairs.

'"There are but very few person
how to walk upstairs properly" says
we'll known physician. Usually a
person will tread on the ball of his
foot in taking each step, springing
himself up to the next step. This is
very tiresome and wearing on the
muscles, as it throws the entire sus-
pended weight of the body on the
muscles Of the legs and feet. You
should, in walking or climbing stairs,
seek for the most equal distribution
of the body's weight as possible. In
walking upstairs your feet should be
placed squarely down on the step, heel
and all, and then the work should be
performed slowly and deliberately. In
this way there is no strain on any par
ticular muscle, but each one is doing
its duty in a natural manner. The man
who goes upstairs with springing
step is no philosopher, or at least his
reasoning has not been directed to
that subject. = Scientific American.

why the Mirage Seems Inverted.

Lord Rayleigh says that the delu-
sion of water appearing in mirages on
hot, sandy plains, is due to the fact
that the undisturbed strata of air near
the earth is highly ratified. A ray of
light falling very obliquely upon this
strata, and being totally reflected,
reaches the eye of the observer just as
it would if reflected from water
The phenomenon is, strictly speak
ing, one of refraction rather than re.
Election. Now just as the glass lens
forms an image on the screen, so the
crystalline lens of the eye forms an
image on the retina or sensitive back
part of the eye. This retina image is
inverted as all retina images are, aud
being projected to another strata of
rarified air above, has the effect of
making the delusion perfect. Rayleigh
further says that there has been much
unnecessary speculation in connection
with the theory of inverted retina
images, the mystery being that we do
not see all things inverted.
The truth of the matter is--now
look for something you never saw in a
book-we do not see the retina image
at all, we only feel it. If we could
see the image ON the eye of some one
else We would certainly see it inverted.

but have served their apprenticeship
with Old Ocean as their master; they
must be able TO handle boat in the
toughest weather, and to face all the
dangers OF the deep.
Each man must undergo a strict
medical examination, and must bring
to the station his certificate OF good
health; and he lie also obliged to sign
an agreement to faithfully perform all
duties.
The keeper receives a salary Of 5000
a year (up to 1892 it was but $1,000, no

round, but is allowed a months leave
Of absence in the summer if he gives

months Of the year, and has the priv
ilege of leaving the station for twenty
four hours every two weeks, but in
lonely stations they generally remain
for the active season, which begins
September 1, ending May l when
man leaves in May he goes where no
ploases, and if he does not return in
September the keeper gets another
man in his place for the next winter
season.
The keeper is held responsible for
the condition of everything connected
with the station; he must drill the
men in their duties, divide the work
evenly, and see that the men are
orderly. No liquor is allowed on the
premises; drunkness or neglect of
duty is punished by instant dismissal
from the service the man who is de-
tailed to cook must keep the kitchen
in perfect order; and each has his
share of the homework to perform,
for no women live at the stations.
The crew are numbered by the
keeper from one to six, and at mid
night preceding September l the sta
tion goes into commission; at that
hour the keeper gives patrol equip
ments to two of the surfmen, and they
start out on the first patrol, and the
active season has fairly begun: every
thing runs like clockwork after that,

Cruelty Of the Seal.Hunters.

The seals we killed either with guns
or pixies. There is very little sport
attached to seal-hunting, especially in
Antarctic waters, as the seals there are
tame through Ignorance of mans
bloodthirstiness. Generally they
were asleep when we approached and
many of them died without having
seen their murderers. But, as a rule,
the slaughter and SHINING of the seal
we're most barbarous, bloody, and hid
eous-unnecessarily SO. Specially cruel
is the task when seal-pikes are used.
Only rarely does a seal die from one
or two blows OF the pike, and if it is
not dead it is generally considered
''all the better;' for it is easier to
skin q seal while it is half alive. In
the utmost agony, the wretched beast
draws its muscles away from the sharp
steel which tears away its skin, and
thus assists in parting with its OWE
coat. Century.

Queer Stroke Of lightning.

While company of soldiers were
drilling at Rendsburg, Germany,
lately, q bolt of lightning threw forty
eight men to the ground. The light
ming ran from bayonet point to bay
onet point, SCATTERING the guns COM
pletely. Only one man was killed
one who carried no gun; through him
the lightning was conducted to the
ground. His body was covered with
blue and green spots and stripes The
eyeglasses of one man were melted
and burned into the flesh, and he re-
ceived other painful injuries, but he
will live. Another had both legs stiff
fened. The cries of the suffering men
are said to have been heartrending.

The Heart Of Gotham.

The real heart of Gotham, the brains
and genius of the metropolis, are to
be found in a very small section of
this big city, writes New York cor
respondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Between Fourteenth and Fortieth
streets are found the men who write
out dramas, who make our songs, who
compose the music for our operas,
whose pens are responsible for many
of those bright little bits of humor
that Tighten our lives, whose brains
invent many of the ideas that other
men utilize. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that this section is responsible for
nearly every bit of the nowor original
literary matter that is produced in
this city. If it is not actually COM
posed in the little world designated, it
is there critically examined, revised,
amended or put into the shape in which
it is finally given to the public On
Broadway, between the streets named
one is constantly humping against men
and women who are responsible for q
good deal OF the music and laughter
of this whole country.
