Energy FROM volcanic Heat.

The energy stored in the coal beds
has rightly been referred back to the
sun, and it is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately attrib-
ute the heat developed at great depths
below TIE surface of the earth. While
1t is believed that no practical attempts
to utilize this subterranean heat have
yet been carried into effect, there ap-
pears to be 10 good reason why the at
tempt should not be made, especially in
volcanic regions, where quite high tenn
peratures should be revealed at moder-
ate depths.
In a Colorado mining town an inter
esting combination was recently OBJ
served which a little ingenuity might
have converted into considerable
source OF power Within 30 feet of each
other were two springs, one Of tenn
perature of nearly 200 degrees F. and
the other not over 60, the flow Of each
being very uniform and the temperature
quite constant. The theoretical efficiency
might readily be determined from the
well known law of thermodynamics, and
the use of one stream to vaporize and
the other to condense some volatile
liquid, such as ammonia OF bisulphide
of carbon, hight enaile fair percen-
tage OF tic energy to be utilized which
is now running to waste. --Cassier's
Maoazina

Deafness.

1t has been stated that three persons
out Of every five in this country who
have attained the age Of 40 years are
more or less deaf in one or both ears
A large proportion Of this deafness Is
caused by catarrh, and medical treat
ment for difficulty of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal source. In Eu-
rope much Of the deafness is hereditary.
DR.. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re-
Gently read a paper on deafness before
the Royal society Of Edinburgh, from
which it appears that congenital deaf
ness may be either hereditary in the di-
rect line CT in collateral branches, and
that it depends on not one, but many
anatomical defects. Intermarriage of
deaf persons perpetuates but does not
accentuate the tendency Of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters Of deaf
mutes are as likely to have deaf mute
offspring as if they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consanguinity Of parents
emphasizes family defects, and in this
way many cases of congenital deafness
OCCUR One of the most singular points
of Dr.. Loves paper was the assertion
that the state had the right to control
the marriage Of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.

Funny Requests For Books That Amuse
and Amaze Employees.
Once in awhile the clerks In the pub
lie library get hold of good joke
through the ignorance of people who
come there to take out books It was
not long ago that woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee on membership She went
about it In rather queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through the in
dex for time she discovered Losing 8
Family History Of the United States. I"
She wrote her request for the books on
one Of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted.
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance the clerks thought,
might be literary, wrote on one Of the
cards request for "The Autocrat Of
the Breakfast Table,
Holmes 'Autocrat, do you want?"
politely asked the clerk
ooh, don't care whose it is was
the reply. 81 only want to find out if it
is proper to use toothpicks at the break
fast table,
Another request for a magazine which
the applicant said was called Brain
kept one of the clerks busy hunting half
an hour before he discovered that what
was wanted was the magazine called
Mind. Still another clerk was shock
ed the other day by request for Wash
ington Irving's Alabama. The clerk
mildly suggested 'sAlhambra. Chi

The Eternal Womanly In the Rough Girls
of New York.
In the girls of the rougher tenement
house districts the eternal womanly
wears such disguise of the eternal
gamin that it cannot always be recog-
nized. Their pertness and sauciness are
only sharpened by their precocity and
their tomboy habits of street Arabia.
A reporter recently had occasion to visit
lower Washington street to ascertain
the facts regarding the murder Of a boy
down there. He was obtaining his in
formation from the boys Of the neigh
borhood, who might have been play
mates of the dead youth. A circle of
them, together with three or four girls
of 10 or 16 years, was gathered around
him.
A big, hulking youth about 20 years
old arrogated to himself the place of
spokesman. He was evidently the ty-
rant, the bully Of the street, young
bill the Brute, who had not yet ac-
CURED a wife to beat and was conse-
quently an object of great interest to
these misses, whose skirts had not yet
grown down to their ankles. With his
big, harsh voice he silenced every inter
ruption of his tale, saying:
"Shut up there! I'm tellin this yarn"
OF course this adjuration, which
forms part of the ordinary courtesy of
the neighborhood, did not quiet the
girls They chaffed him and the report
er and giggled until at last the speaker
said to the reporter:
Don't mind them. They're no
count They re nothin but girls -
"Of course he'll mind US, smarty."

STORIES OF BILL MYE.

Tho Color Of North Carolina and the Field
of Rye.
While standing on top of Lookout
mountain few days ago was carried
back to memories of dear old Bill Nye,
for we had stood upon the same spot
together some years before, and guide
then told us that we could see seven
states from that point of view-viz,
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama.
"Where's North Carolina?' Nye in
quired.
The man pointed to particular place
in the purple horizon.
"What makes you think that is North
Carolina?" Nye asked.
"Oh, we know by the direction and
the conformation of the mountains
there" the man replied
"Well, I know that that is not North
Carolina" Nye declared with some We
hemence "And you would know it,
too, if you would stop to think Here
is map Of the United States, and you
can see that North Carolina is pink.
Besides, 1 know it is pink. I live in
that state considerably, and I've helped
to paint it red, but Of course 60 away
sometimes, aud then it fades little,
leaving it pink. No, sir, you can't stuff
me that way. The place you are point
ing at, color blind man could see, is
purple.
Nyo said those things SO seriously
that the man was almost dazed. He
gave Nye puzzled lcok and then went
on pointing cut other sisters in the late
Confedsracy.
Shortly after that and only a few
weeks before his death Nye wrote me
from his hone at Asheville, N. c., say
ing: 81 have on my farm here very
promising field of rye that looks as if it
would FRI Is CT 90 gallons to the acre.

A Statesman Who Found q Use For the
Earnings of His Pen.
II recall pleasant incident in the
life of the late Representative Harter Of
Ohio, " said an Ohio man the other day.
W as at his apartments one evening
at the hotel where he lived during his
hrst term in congress and was in the re-
ception room with several friends while
he was working in his office at the far
end of the suit Of rooms Presently he
came out among us laughing and hold
ing in his hand check.

for $50 have just got from maya
zine fer an article that wasn't expect

II told him was not that literary,
for / couldn't sell one article for $50.
and we laughed and chatted awhile
about 1t, Mr.. Harter insisting that he
wasn't writer for money, but for the
sake Of presenting his views to the
world.
T" I don't know what to do with the
check, he said and turned to his wife.s
Do you need it?' he asked her.
"She told him she did not, though
most women would have had use for it
quick enough, and he stood irresolute
for a moment with the check In his
hand, then he smiled radiantly.
81 know somebody who does want
it, he said. nodding at his wife as if
she never would see it again. L received

A RECOLLECTION.

It was indeed perfect day.
I scarce recall the weather,
But autumn calm and bloom Of My
Seem mingled there together.
Then melody made sweet the hours,
Each sentence was q ballad,
The rocks were jewels, weeds were flowers,
When Mary dressed the salad.
No vernal scene whose Establishment
Will weleomely beset us
Can have the fascination lent
By that small sprig of lettuce,
And vainly must musicians toll
From stage or festal wagon
For tones like those with which the oil
Came lettering from the fagon.
Strange how these merchant chemists mar
Each once alluring savorl
How tasteless is the vinegarl
how dull the peppers flavor!
Outlines when sterner moods are planned
Those memories come pressing
That salad day, the sunshine and
The girl who made the dressing.

Couversatisn.l SlovenlIress.

Conversation also Is often marked by
moral slovenliness Not only is there
that kind Of talk stained with dirt
which some men shamelessly exhibit,
but there are the conversations in which
there is a covert loosenes5. doublenoss
Of meaning, hint of that which may
not be said with manly straightforward
ness, which has in it certain laxity,
as far as moral rectitude is concerned.
There Is that ready knowledge Of every
body's misdeeds, as of their humber
relations, which people dispense, some
with glittering mischief in their eyes,
others with confding demureness-''sc
dreadful, you !''-only 1t happens
that they do not know and are only re-
