The Fish Did Not Live on Fire.

A paper having appeared some time
since in one of the sensational weekIies
In which the phenomenon of the expul
sion of fish from volcanoes was spoken
of as strange and astounding, a Mr..
Scrope, of the Royal Society, set about
explaining the wonder. The original
article, which bore the title, "Fish
Which Live Ia Fire." was by one Rev.
w. w. Spicer. In his explanation of
the oddity of these fish having been
expelled by the active volcano Ia fact
which was vouched for by hundreds of
eye wltnesses), Mr.. Scrope says; ~ =
The fish did not live below the fire line,
as the oensationalist who wrote the arti-
Gle referred to would have us believe.
His sensational version of very sim
Pile fact is only one of several which,
on the authority of the great Prussian
traveller, have been repeated by compil-
ers of treatises on volcanic phenomena.
The simple fact, conceive. is that the
fish in question lived in the open air In
crater lakes, such as are frequently
found at the SUBMITS of volcanoes.
Fine ashes, usually the last product of a
volcanic eruption, form the lining of
most craters. These ashes are very
retentive of moisture, and consequently
they often occasion the formation of
lakes at the bottoms of the depressions
left by the last eruption. In the course
of time water from the clouds gather In
these hollows and after the lapse of
years of inactivity on the part of the
volcano, fish of the same kind that are
often found In mountain streams and
lakes appears In these volcanic reser-
voirs. Later on an eruption occurs and
the fish are thrown out with the mud,
water, lava, and other materials, and
then the scnsationalist has wonderful
story o tell of the creatures that lived
in burning volcano.n

alearness CANNOT he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
Is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

STORIES OF BARNuM.

al was travelling with p. T. Barnum
once" said Mr.. Stowe, "long before the
railroad shows were in existence. We
travelled by wagons from town to town
to enable the -cireus people to put on
their-Ssow clothes and prepare for the
parade. We were TO show in a small
town In Pennsy lvania, and had noticed
that bridge over which the wagons
were to pass was weak. | sent word TO
Mr.. Barnum to put the rhinocerous
wagon at the rear, but he did not do SO,
and as it was in advance IL broke the
bridge. The show did not reach the
town In time to make much of parade.
"That night Mr.. Barnum was in
avillage hotel when an angry lot of PEG.
pie who were disappointed at the size
of the parade waited upon him and told
him that he was fraud.
",How so7" said Barnum.
"'Well, replied the spokesman of the
crowd, you advertised two miles of
parake and there was only one.
ayes replied Barnnm, there was one
mile of parade and another mile of
damned fools following It, That makes
two miles, doesn't it, F."
A rhinocerous is the most expensive
animal In a circus. A wellbred and
well-developcd rhinocerous costs $4,000
The Barnum show recently lost rhi-
nocerous, and was compelled to cable TO
Hagenbeck at Hamburg to send on
another at once. Hagenbeck is the
largest animal supply agent on earth.
He furnishes the geological gardens of

itaIs of Europe. Elephants are quite
common these days, and half dozen OF
them could be bought for the price OF
one rhinocerous.
= The elephant is the meanest animal
4shat people have to deal with. Every
body is afraid of him, for no one can tell
when the big brute will take one una

Salo Roth, formerly a member Of the

on charge of embezzlement 10 the
amount of $4,000. The charge is pre.
ferred by the officers Of the National
Building and Loan association, of which
Roth was at one time treasurer.

animals, and never undertakes to get

take him off his guard.
1t costs not less than $4,000 day to
run big circus and menagerie. Not
withstanding this seemingly large out
lay frst-class show is usually a sure
winner. Before starting out a discount
for rainy daysis made by averaging the
rainy days the past ten seasons. While
this is not by any means reliable, it af-
fords fair test.
Storms and tornadoes of late years
have interfered very much with the
profits of circuses. Last season the Bar
mum & Bailey circus was ruined by
cycloneat Des Moines and they had to
send to Cincinnati for new tent, for
which the dimensions were given, and
in three days it was made and erected
by the show. All the sailmaker3 in
Cincinnati were employed in making
the new canvas.
new canvas is made every yea, and
the one used the previous year is ear
ried along with the show for emergency.
On the occasion alluded to the old can
vas was left behind, and the show ex-
hibited three days in tent without a
top. Fortunately the weather was fair,
An idea of the magnitude CT big
show can be gained from the fact that
1900 persons are employed in the Bar
mum & Bailey show. The system OBJ
served In putting up the big canvas,
taking 1t down ard packing it in the
cars, and putting all the rest of the stuff
fin the cars each night is wonderful
There are, perhaps, 20 or 80 foyemen,
who run the whole business. Without
these men 1t would take green hands
week to put up big tent and another
week to take it down.
When p. T. Barnum was in London, IS
years or so ago, he sent tickets of admis-
sion TO all Il c clergy and TO the Bishop
of London and his family. Barnum's
reputation as phi!anthropist had gone
before him, and il became necessary to
establish regular picket guard around
him TO protect him fr5m annoyance In
his hotel. Applicants for charitable dona-
tons would frequently get through the
line to apply for donations ranging from
500 to $1,000. After the bishop of
London and his family had seen the
show the bishop called upon Mr.. Bar
mum and chat.ed with him for some
time. Barnum impressed him, as he
, did everybody, as being big hearted,
amiable and brainy man. The bishop
on leaving took his hand and said:
"Mr. Barnum you are not such bad
man, after all. hope to meet you in
heaven, sir"
"Welp you will, If you are there" re-
piled Mr.. Barnum.
The answer was too much even for ths
bishop, and those who heard it shoutet
with laughter.

A Thought w eighing Machine.

Prof. Mosso, the great italian physi,
ologist, has invented scale or balance,
which may very properly be called a
MISUNDERSTANDING machine" He shows
by experiment that the act of thinking
causes the blood to rush to the head,
the amount of rush depending on the
nature of the thought. The professor
proves this by balancing a man in a
horizontal position on his delicate
"thought. weighing scale" This scale is
so nicely balanced that when the man
begins to think the rush of blood to his
head turns the scale. 1t Is claimed that
the machine will even indicate to per
son who ccnsnlts the scale whether the
one on the balance is reading Greek or
Latin, the great mental exertion re-
quired for the Greek producing a more
eopious flow of blood towards the head
and corresponding depression of that
end of the balance,

THE DEAR OLD FARM.

FANNY PIERCE.
Ten years today, jack, | have lived
This blessed country life;
Since first left my city home
To be farmers wife.
1 thought that would miss 1t So
The tramp of busy feet,
The ceaseless throb of rushing life,
The faces in the street.
Thought the country would be tame,
Its interests mean and small;
But then could not say you nay,
And so left itall.
Thought Of all loved and left
As I came down the aisle;
My thoughts went backward with all
And forward with smile.
And now-thc sun sees every day
Earth's misery and bliss,
And now where does the sun shine
A happier lot than this!
Here are no walls to hem us in
Ais open to the sky;
Here l have learned to love the stay
And watch the clouds go by.
watch the birds and squirrels, too,
And claim them for my own,
And trees and grass-how could live
Where all is brick and stone!
1 love them still, those toll worn streets,
Where many feet have trod;
The city brings us close to man.
The couI try near to God.
To think that l should have paused
Uncertain 'twixt the two!
i am so thankful that chose
The country, Jack-and you.
This dear old farm! wouldn't give
One downy, peeping brood
OF day-old chicks for all the wealth
OF cities, If l could.
/ love my homely household tasks,
1 love the fields of grain:
love the flowers that lift their heads
To drink the summer rain.
love the orchard crowned with fruit
My garden fair to see;
love the horses and the COWS
know that they love me.
And yet, perhaps it's something else
That lends my life it's charm;
Yon see love the farmer, Jack.
And so l love the farm.

DIR. E. Sommer has contributed pa
per to well-known and widely circu-
lated medical journal in which he pro-
mulgates the theory that sleep Is the
result of degeneration of the or.
ganism In which 1t occurs. According
to his theory the blood and the tissues
possess the property of storing up the
oxygen inhaled, and then supplying it
in proportion to the requirements OF
the economy. When this store of oxy-
gen is exhausted, or becomes too small
to longer sustain the vital activity of the
brain, nervous system, muscles, ETC., the
body falls into that particular state
which We call sleep. During the con.
tinuance of this deep repose fresh guam,
titles of oxygen are being stored up In
the blood to act as supply to the awak-
ened vital powers. Rest without sleeT
produces the same effect, though in q
less degree.
