Never Saw Ice Before.

One of the funniest sights 1 ever saw

chunk Of ice. remarked the captain OF
a trading schooner. | was lying al
anchor at one of the Navigator islands
once when some natives came aboard
1t was an awfully hot day, and l had
been getting some ice up from below
The natives looked at it curiously, SO
handed one chunk. The moment ii
touched his hand he dropped it like
hot shot and looked at his palms to see
If they were burned. After deal OF
iabbering they all sat around it and
watched 1t as it melted. They couldn't
understand it, at all, and when there
was nothing left but wet spot on the
deck they sat around it and discussed
the phenomen. l put a piece of ice in

A New Exploration.

The American Museum Of Natural
History is soon to begin a systematic
exploration Of the coasts of Asia and
North America, from the Amoor River
in Asia to the Columbia River on our
continent. The object is to study the
various peoples inhabiting these re-
gions. in order to settle, If possible,
the question whether the Asiatics once
crossed to America by way Of KAN
chatka and the Aleutian Islands.
Among the principal things studied
will be the various languages now
spoken in Northeastern Asia and
Northwestern America, and some idea
Of the extent Of this subject may be OBJ
tanned from the alleged fact that be
tween the Columbia River and Bering
Strait ten languages are found that are
fundamentally distinct, and these Ian
guages have thirty-seyen dialects
which are mutually unintelligible." On
the Asiatic side, it appears, the confu-
sion of tongues is not quite so great,
although the number of distinct Ian
guages spoken there is seven, and the
number of mutually unintelligible dia-
lects ten. The explorations are to
cover a period of six years, and the
money has been furnished by a
wealthy New Yorker, Mr.. Morris X.

Glddness Comes

M|ith better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
zion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important. in order to get its bene-
hcial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede every where, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
nsedand gives most general satisfaction.

A Little Girl. Desperate Because of Her
Fathers Inebriety, Tries Suicide.
Because her father again came home
intoxicated, Conception Almarez, Mex
ican girl living in San Francisco, made
an attempt at suicide. Her life was
saved only by the long and patient
work of her uncle and a physician. The
father, Ramon Almarez, is the son of
Don Juan Vicente Almarez, who was
once the largest landowner in San Luis
Obispo county.
Ramon has been drinking considera-
bly, for years and has grown poorer each
year. When he and his daughter moved
from San Fernando to Puente last De-
cember, it was in hope that he might
reform. For few weeks Ramon kept
his resolution, and those were the hap
piest days for little Conception in years.
Ramon broke his pledge, and from
that time he has been drinking harder
than ever.
One night recently Ramon came home
from Azusa and was again intoxicated
The girl and her uncle got her father
ont Of the wagon and carried him into
the adobe house. Conception left the
house, and when o'clock came her un-
Gle started out to find her. On the dirt
floor of her bedroom he found fare
well note to her father to the effect that
she could no longer endure the shame
and poverty his drunkenness had
brought upon her. SO she had gone
away to die.
After a long search her relative
found her in a field She was in stu
por, and he carried her to a physician
1t was found that Conception had taken
morphiue Antidotes were given her,
and it was not long till she was de-
clared out of danger. Her father has
vowed not to use intoxicants again.

A MASTODON'S SKULL.

1t Is Considered the Most Perfect speci.
men In Existence.
The museum of the Missouri state
university has just received the most
perfect skull of a mastodon in the
world. This is the belief Of eminent
biologists who have viewed the gigantic
relic, and when the skull is described
this statement will perhaps not be dis
puted
1t has just been presented to the mu-
scum by R. A. Blair. a we'll known
geologist of Sedalia, Mo. He reserves
the privilege Of reclaiming the skull,
but it is probable that it will remain in
the university museum. With the skull
was found other mastodon remains of
less value, and they are also on exhibi-
tion here. The whole forms the most
valuable collection of the kind in the
world.
The next largest and most valuable
collection of mastodon remains is in the
British museum, and third in value is
one at Berlin. Both these collections are
made up almost altogether Of remains
found in Missouri.
The skull now on exhibition here was
taken from an old pond in Pettis coun-
ty, Mo.
1t was not until recently that geolog-
lists heard of the curiosity and steps
were at once taken to remove the bones
from their resting place. kansas City

An imported Tarantula.

A young tarantula which had trav-
eled in bunch of bananas from South
America via New Orleans was cap
tured recently in commission house at
Denver. The man in charge OF the rip
ening room found the poisonous insect
clinging to the wall of the room. He
first knocked it off into cigar box and
later it was transferred into glass jar
and now is on exhibition in the COM
pany's office. In size the body is little
over an inch long and about half an
inch wide, and its stride will cover five
inches. That it is a young one is evil
denced by the fact that no hair has ap-
peared as yet on any part Of its body.
Full grown, these insects are hideous in
appearance by the great growth of hair
tnat covers limbs and body.-Rocky

Artificial Ruhies

In O. recent lecture Prof. A. P. Brown
Of Philadelphia described the methods
now practiced for making artificial
gems. Although minute diamonds can
be made, with the aid of the electric
furnace, none large enough to be en-
ployed in Jewelry have yet been pro-
duced. But rubies Of large size, and as
fine in color and appearance as the
best natural gems, have been made.
The ruby is composed Of oxide Of alum
mum. A certain method of detecting
artificial rubies is by examination with
a microscope. The natural gem is al
ways filed with minute cracks, invisi-
BILE to the naked eye, but perfectly dis
cernible with high magnlfying power.
The artificial ruby has no cracks, but,
on the other hand, Is filled with minute
bubbles, or gas-holes. This test, accord
ing to Professor Brown, is the only
one by which the best artificial rubies
can be distinguished from the same
gems as nature makes them.

An Under-Sea Tunnel

The Italians are considering plans for
the construction of a double tunnel,
about two miles in length, between the
toe Of Italy and the island of Sicily.
The tunnel Is to run under the Straits
Of Messina, not far from the site of
Scylla and Charybdis, the rocks and
the whirlpool, which were so dreaded
by ancient mariners. 1t was at first
proposed that a bridge be thrown
across the straits, but it was thought
that this would be too much exposed to
the winds, which are occasionally vio-
lent between the opposing mountains
Of Sicily on one side and Calabria op
the other.

Pecuiiarities of Sakba1in

Curious facts have lately come to

pears to be to produce on the island a
reversal Of the ordinary course of ma

DON'T TRUST 1T.

Because the weather is mild and The air
balmy we cannot count on being rid OF
rheumatism or neuralgia. The very sud-
den changes of temperature or exposure to
draughts are both likely to increase rather
than diminish both complaints. For this
reason it is wise at this season to be well
prepared for sudden attacks, and TO have
ready what is known as the best remedy
for all yisitations of aches or pains. All
well regulated households ought to have a
nook 6>r corner for bottle OF 81. Jacobs
Oil. There are other reasons also why this
master-cure should be kept at band; rheu-
matism and neuralgia are chronic, acute or
infiammatory. bnt to whatever degree of
suffering they may come, the old reliable
cure is the best for treatment and the surest
to give permanent relief.

Sweenino with Wind.

In some Of the Chicago railway yards
compressed-air brooms are employed
for sweeping and busting the carpets

house through an underground pipe,
to which hose is attached in the car

CRAZY ABOUT AIRSHlPS.
A Widow Imsgines That She Has Built 8
Flying Machine.

n w luoW ImRgineS Ihat She Has Built q
Flying Machine.
The published reports of airships be-
ing seen all over the country have caused
an estimable woman of Findlay, O., to
go stark mad.
Mrs. Eleanor A. Woodruff, a widow
of good family, recently appealed to a
neighbor to build her an airship, saying
she had all the plans in her head, and if
he would build it for her that day she
would navigate it that night.
She was put off with an evasive an
swer. but at night she became wild, and,
going out into the street. stopped all
passersby, and, pointing to the western
heavens, wanted to know if they didn't
see her airship. She pointed directly to
the bright evening star and said it was
the light of her ship, in which she
would take them all around the world.
The unfortunate woman was placed in
custody and will be taken to the Toledo
asylum.

Makes Murder Expensive.

A South Carolina jury has granted a
verdict of $4,000 damages in favor of
the administrator of murdered man
against his convicted murderer. Should
this become precedent for similar ver-
diets, a murderer will not only have to
undergo the death penalty, but he will
be placed at considerable financial loss
also. Possibly that may make murder
less attractive to some criminals.
