Pictures Drawn by ThumbnaiI.

In collections, centuries old, to be
seen in both China and Japan, are
specimens of the most remarkable
drawings in the world, pictures of all
kinds drawn with the thumb-nail. The
nails of the thumb on the left hand
of the artists of these are allowed to
grew to an enormous length, sometimes
to a foot or eighteen inches. and are
then pared down to pen-shaped point.
Dipping this oddly constructed pen in
beautiful vermillion or sky-blue ink,
the only kinds of ink used in these
sacred thumb-nail drawings, the artist
gracefully outlines his work. Occa-
sionally the bold touches from the
Ecudio of a master in this department
of high art" are life size, and are
sketched by a few sweeps of the art
lists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches of the Orient, these sacred
,thumb-nail pictures are mounted and
rolled up like scrolls.

ELECTRIC CARS.
To BE Used In Connection with the Man
chester Ship Canal

To BE Used In Connection with the Man
chester Ship Canal.
The motor car has long been fami-
liar sight in the streets of Paris, and
the French have shown great ingenuity
in the invention and improvement of
the different types of this convenient
vehicle. 1t seems not unlikely that
before long it will be as great a ia
vocite in England as 1t is in France.
A scheme is on foot to supersede a
large number of the London omnibuses
by electric vehicles. 1t is said that
the electric omnibus is to surpass in
comfort and spaciousness anything of
the kind hitherto constructed. More
over, the service will be quicker, and
the Punishment Of the horse will make
the roads cleaner and less unhealthful,
more particularly as nearly all the
main thoroughfares in London are
paved with wood. The motor car is to
be a leading factor in another great
enterprise. The grip of Liverpool on
the shipping trade has been so loos-
ened by the competition OF Manchester
|
of the city have become alive to the
necessity of taking measures to retain
their trade. They propose to introduce
motor cars, each of which shall be ca
pable of drawing three wagons, car
rying ten tons of produce. The wagons
are TO be loaded at the ships side, and
the special advantages of their use will
be that goods can in this way be con-
veyed without transfer to other We
hicles direct to the warehouse, wher-
ever 1t may be situated. The
ordinary highways will be utilized, for
this purpose and no rails need be laid
1t is expected that by this means the
cost of conveying merchandise to and
from Manchester and other towns will
be reduced to a point with which the
ship canal cannot compete, and the
further expectation is that the railway
companies will be compelled in self
defense TO lower their rates, which
again will tell against the ship canal.
1t is believed that fully loaded train
of three wagons can be drawn at
uniform speed Of six miles an hour.
Another proposed application of the
motor car Is that now under discussion
by the town council of Dover, Kent, for
devoting number of horseless vehicles
to the street scavengering service OF the
town.

Size and Speed of Waves.

Many different answers have been
given to the question How high are
the greatest ocean waves?" NJ. Dibos,
a marine engineer and laureate of the
Institute of France, has lately made
some personal observations on this sub
ject. He describes waves encountered
in the North Atlantic which had a
height of at least forty-five feet.
Driven before heavy wind waves may
advance at the rate of from thirty-five
to forty miles an hour, and such I'M
dulations of the ocean may travel more
than 500 miles from the point where
the wind created them, without being
accompanied by any disturbance in the
atmosphere.

Skunk OIL.

An Iowa expert gives the following
information concerning the origin OF
skunk oil: "As l live in district where
the skunk is only too we'll known, per-
haps / may be able to answer your cor
respondents question about the origin
of skunk oil, commonly sold in the drug
stores around us as remedy for rheu-
matism. Skunks lie in their holes dur
ing the winter, never appearing above
ground excepting on very fine days.
Before retiring under ground they be-
come we'll loaded with fat. When
killed, by drowning them by filling up
their holes with water, they are dug
out without producing any offensive
odor. The sting bag Is removed, the
skin is secured, and then the fat is
taken out and treated just as the fat
of a hog is treated in making lard. The
preparation of skunk oil is a profitable
industry during the winter months. A
German family near my residence does
a considerable business in its prepare
ton every year."

Il is not interfered with. 1t will even
at times seek safety in flight rather
than in fight.
But should the bear be emboldened
by hunger, or engraged beyond endur-
ance, it will often turn on its pursuers
and attack them most desperately.
Then the hunter frequently becomes
satisfactory results to him. Europeans
carrying firearms are. of course. in
comparatively little danger, but with
young and Impractical Eskimo, the
case is very different. II he succeeds In
doubling on the bear and plunglng his
lance into the vital spot-the left side
below the shoulder-well and good. But
sometimes the thrust does not go quite
home and the hunter has to leave the
spear in the bears side and run for his
life. Then, unless he Is well aided by
his dogs, his position becomes perilous
in the extreme. He cannot expect to
escape by superior speed on level
ground, for the polar bear, in spite of
its apparent unwieidiness, can run at
least as fast as any ordinary man.
His only hope, therefore, is to scram-
BILE down among the icebergs to places
where his pursuer cannot follow. We
can well imagine the perils of that
climb. Sliding, stumbling, falling from
one slippery ledge to another, grasping
desperately at each projection to
steady himself, with the knowledge
that to lose his footing means certain
death, and with the grim visage of his
foe above him to hasten his move
ments. the young hunter has need Of
all his GOODNESS and nerve.
Should he be caught, his chances Of
escape from the bears teeth-for the
Polar bear, unlike the grizzly, does not
hug. but bites-is slight indeed.

A Gas Regulator,

Some of the gas companies in the
United States have adopted the slot ma
chine in regulating the supply of gas
to kitchens for cooking. A twenty
five-cent piece is dropped into the ma
chine attached to the meter. When
twenty-five cents worth of gas is used
no more can be obtained from the meter
until another twenty-five cents is
dropped in. This insures prompt pay
ment of bills, and prevents disputes as
to gas bills. This method was adopted
in London. The result has been to
arouse public protests from the CHM
ney-sweeps; the small dealers in coal
and wood claim that their business Is
being destroyed. There are $1,000 gas
stoves connected with the slot ma
chino meters used in London.

Digging FOR Jewelry.

Digging for jewelry seems rather an
odd occupation, but in Central Ameri-
ca it has been carried on for a long
time with success and profit. Along
the coast of Costa Rica are vast ceme-
teries in which the original inhabit-
ants of long ago were buried. With
them were inferred great quantities Of
gold ornaments, that metal being
found abundantly in that region. Many
of the graves have been opened, and
from them gold has been taken to the
value of at least 100000 The first dis
coveries of this treasure trove caused a
rush for the field of exploration which
promised to rival that of 1S49 to Cali
fornia. Thousands of the graves still
remain, unopened, and it is a common
practice for visitors in search of curio-
stiles to rob them.

A Peculiar Legacy.

A lady patient of Manchester sur
geon repaid his professional attention
by bequeathing him $4,000, the liberal
legacy being clogged with the condition
that he should have her body en-
balmed in the most perfect manner
possible; and that once year he
should look upon her face in the pres
enee of two witnesses. The surgeon
accepted the legacy and the condition,
embalmed his whimsical benefactress,
and put her for safe keeping in an or
binary glass-faced English clock-case.
Upon his death. his representatives
considered there was an end to one
side of the bargain. and the lady is
suspected to have figured long after
ward as mummy in the Manchester
museum.
