by Russian physician, DR.. Shendri-

from time immemoriai the regions
around Lake Baikal, in Siberia. They
are an entirely pastoral race. They all,
men and women, practically live in :hc

plains; in winter, when the SHOWS
come, they retire to the hills and live in

Peculiarlties of February.

The month of February in a leap year
has some peculiarities of which not
many people are aware. This year, for
example, February mas five Saturdays.
This has occurred just once in every
2S years for the last 124 years. Feb
ruary will have five Saturdays again in
1908, II years from now, be-
cause at the turn of the CEN
fury there comes a break in the
IS year period, which is reduced to IL
years. heavyweight years later, in
1886 we will again have five Saturdays
in the month of February. This same
rule holds good for every day in the
week, each recurring five times in the
leap year month of February every 90
years, with the exception of Monday
and Wednesday. During the last 200
years these two days have come five
times i'll February at one interval of
l2 years, while the rest of the days
have been 40 years apart once during
the same period for 200 years.-St.

Number of Gallons in the Ocean,

The mathematicians figure on every
thing nowadays, from the number of
leaves in a given extent of forest to the
probable number of molecules of mat
ter that it takes to make up the uni
verse. One of the most curious calcu-
lations which we have met with re-
Gently is one in which German profess
sor gives figures to show the number
OF gallons of water in the Pacific ocean.
He first considers the average depth
and then the average length and
breadth, and then throws the whole
into square and the square into a
globe. He finds that this aqueous
globe would be exactly 726 miles in di-
ameter. Next he considers ocean water
as weighing 10 pounds to the gallon,
ard finds that this immense sphere,
were it a hollow metal globe, would
hold 100000, 900, 100000 of gallons!
Those figures represent the number of
gallons of water now in the largest
division of the earth's seas. 1t would
take that amount of water more than
100000 years to pour over the preci-
pice at Niagara.-St. Louis Republic.

Montagu Williams and Sir Douglas

His Part in the Romance and Tragedy of

l was placed next the old doctor at a
fashionable dinner some days ago, and
a chance occurrence led to the promise,
on his part, to tell me one of his stories
when opportunity came. Last night he
fulfilled the promise, and if you are
willing, will tell the story to you; not
as the dear old doctor told it to me, for
it must lack the accompaniment of
those keen yet kindly glances that came
from his clear, blue eye, and the mellow
cadence of his gentle voice, but, as near
The doctor said:
Il was attracted to them the moment
they entered the long dining hall-by
their youth, their beauty and by that
indefinable something which envelopes,
as a rosy cloud, those who are newly
welded and who love and are beloved.
They were (and are, for that matter,
though that was 20 years ago, and
have ushered into existence for them
since that day whole houseful of rosy
boys and dainty girls!) the handsomest
couple l ever set my two eyes upon.
He, with an imperial, stately carriage
and dark, splendid coloring and beau

my mind all the heroic stories had

with delicate, appealing loneliness,
which went straight to my foolish old
heart. I liked everything about her.
The quiet elegance of her modest gray
gown, her smoothly banded hair, her
clear, candid brown eyes.
The waiter placed them at my table,
and 1 was pleased with the fond, yet I'M
obtrusive, attention bestowed upon her
by her husband; but even then could
but observe the fact that there was
some weight on her heart, some anxiety,
which would not be sti1led. This was
evidenced, thought, by the nervous,
hurried glances she cast at her hus-
band, and by look of detection which
now and again settled on her lovely
face.
