Tipping Hudson Bay.

A curious result of the slow changes
of level going on at various points of
the earth's surface has recently been
pointed out by Professor Bell of the
Geographical Survey of Canada. This
is a gradual tipping up of the shores
of Hudson Bay, as if some gigantic
power were engaged in an attempt to
empty that great basin of water into
the adjoining sen. One of the easiest
Indications of what was going on came
to the attention of the officers of tho
Hudson Bay Company when they
found that the water at the mouths al
the rivers where their posts are sta
toned was gradually getting shallowel
aud navigation consequently becom'
ing more difficult. Examination shows
that the shore is lined with old beach
es of sand and gravel lying as high a.
fifty feet or more above the presen
level of the bay, When Hendril
Hudson, in 1910, discovered the grea
body Of water that bears his name, h,
wintered with his ships on the cas-
coast of the bay in a harbor which
has now disappeared, or at least ha
been SO far drained off as no longe
to be recognizable from his descrip
ton.

The gentle art Of smiling Is the
latest thing which science has been
meddling with, tracing back to its
very beginning, aud pointing out with
something like sneer how this facial
expression fret came to adorn the
face Of primeyal man.
Mr. Edward Cuyer, In a recent lee
tire in Paris before the Societe
d'Anthropologio, stated that our
smiles, however winning TO outward
seeming, are simple records OF our
very remote ancestors selhshness,
greodineas and pugnacity.
The passion that dominated all
others in primitive man was the de-
sire for food. The animals Of those
days were hinge and fierce, aud the
implements OF hunting few and crude.
The naked hunter, therefore, was
forced to 90 ofttimes with an empty
stomach, but when he made a kill he
gorged himself with meat. The an
tieipation Of the approaching satisfac-
ton Of his hunger caused him to open
his mouth and show his teeth, partly
through pleasure, and partly through
an instructive impulse to get himself
in readiness for the immediate stow
ing away of his food
With the progress OF civilization,
however, this facial contortion grew
to be caused by other pleasurablt
things, and then came the sound o.
audible laughter.
The graceful smile of the hostess
therefore, as she receives her guests
is merely an inherited expression o
satisfaction derived from a savage
progenitor who anticipated a goot
time when he had people to dinner
or for dinner.
Again, the open smile or more opel
pleasure is simply a survival OF tn
gaping mouth with which the semi
simian prepared to tackle roast grand
mother. New York Journal.

A defuite idea of the increased in
terest in bicycling all over the coun-
try is obtained by noting the increase
in the applications at Washington for
patents on bicycles and bicycle parts
In 1894 there we're about two hundred
cases awaiting action in the division in
which bicycles are classed. There are
now some ], 100 cases awaiting action,
and the work is three months behind.
During the last few months the weekly
issue of patents has been about four
hundred and fifty twenty-five Of these
were for bicycles and bicycle parts
the greatest number for tires, to which
inventors are just now devoting their
attention. To the layman the issuing
of twenty-five patents weekly for BIZ
cycles and bicycle parts may not seen
great number; how great it is on,
can understand only by comparing
this issue with the issues for other pa.
tents. To twenty-five patents for BIZ
cles and bicycle parts there are issue,
five for engines, twelve for electrical
apparatus, four for elevators, clever
for farm implements, for four SEWN
machines, five for car tenders, seye
for wagons, etc.

Indirect Benefits Of an Exposition.

Though the Atlanta exposition did
not pay as an exposition" said Rev.
Mr.. Strother of that city, "we are be-
ginning to find out that it paid other
wise. 1t left with us from FIVE to ten
thousand desirable citizens. OF these
one-third are church members; nine
tenths of them are people ofpush and
intelligence. Possibly the other tenth
came for climatic reasons, aud they
increase the business of physicians.
Only few days ago loans amounting
to one million dollars were placed in
Northern cities for funds which are to
be used in erecting four twelve-story
Office buildings. There will be about
four hundred rooms in each.
"You can easily see, therefore, that
city which needs nm incr lase OF six.
teen hundred office rooms has been
doing something, and that the some
thing promises to pay handsomely.
There we're no natural reasons why
Atlanta should lead the cities of the
South, but the citizens of Atlanta got
it into their heads that they should do
SO, and the did it. OF course they had
to enlist the aid of Northern capital.
One of our sky-scrapers is to be
planned on the lines Of the Cairo flats
here. The interior construction, the
steel skeleton, is also to be followed.

There is no New England monopoly
in the manufacture OF fine shoes,
although that was practically the con-
dition a few years ago, when that sec
ton made ninety percent of the
women's shoes in America. Now the
manufacture ofthese shoes is distribut-
ed West as far as Chicago and South
to Cincinnati and Baltimore. 1t is
claimed by the Philadelphia Ledger
that the finest footwear for women is
made in that city, while Newark, N.
j., is the centre for all the fine men 8
shoes made in the country. Western
manufacturers make heavier and more
durable shoes. The shoes are plump
and strong, with more sole leather
than perhaps needful, but they are a
little too coarse for the East. East
ern manufacturers have so systema-
tized the business that even the
different weights of sole leather
are finely graded, not an ounce
more than is necessary being
used in any class of shoe. Gus
tom-made shoes have very largely be
come a thing of the past. Compared
with the number sold the percentag,
OF shoes made to order is infnitesi
mally small. The change has com
about within the last twenty years, an,
whereas formerly the grades of shoe
or the finished materials for maxim
them were nearly altogether imported
the conditions are reversed. 1t is sal
by q prominent Philadelphia fri
that there is ten times the quantity {
fine kid leather exported that is in
ported, and the export trade in fin
shoes is also becoming a factor in th
commercial world. The finest skin
from Curacao, Brazil, and Sout
America, generally were formerl
shipped to France, where they vel
tanned and finished, and then r.
shipped to this country. But now Il

THE PHANTOM VOICE.

Sitting on the veranda Of his sum
mer residence by an inland lake IN
Michigan, surrounded by his family
and guests, the venerable Judge Wat
ties told the strangest story Of his
professional career.
'''1mmediately following my admis-
:. TO thobar," he said, II was made
prosecuting attorney, accepting the
honor as a deserved tribute to my SUI

in mind that this was a good many
years ago in a little valley town in
Pennsylvania, where we we're hommed
in by the mountains aud had few with
whom to compare in the matter OF in
telligcnce or attainments.
'In tho criminal annals Of the
county there we're the evidences of
well-disposed community and it came
as a startling sensation when Farmer
Jenkins, driving home late one night,
was beaten to insensibility and robbed
Of a large sum of money. Here
was work for me and went at it with
the zeal OF an ambitious beginner.
Jenkins insisted that he would be able
to identity his assailant, seen in the
dim moonlight that sifted through
the trees, describing him as a tall,
well-dressed young man With dark
mustache and an angry red scar across
his left cheek.
