bad qualities as treachery and jealousy

bad qualities as treachery and jealousy
are generally found in people With
black, lusterless hair. The lighter the
hair the more sensitive and "touchy"
the owner generally is. Brown hair
must be very desirable thing to pos
sess, for the hair readers say it is al
ways found on people having in high
degree common sense, good judgment
and reason. Red hair is a sign of hon
esty and also of cleverness. Nothing
whatever is said about freaks of tenn
per as an accompaniment to red hair. 1t
may therefore be safe to conclude that
another popular idea has been dissolved

Lord Kelvin on the Age of the Earth.
Lord Kelvin, in an address upon the
earth as an abode fitted for life, has
summed up the evidence into what
must be accepted as the latest dictum OF
science regarding this obscure point.
The old idea was of solid earth nearly
10000, 600, 600 years old, but modern sci
ence makes an immense reduction in
this estimate. He was able to say with
confidence that the earth solicited be-
tween 20,OOO,000 and 100000 years
ago. The latest estimate of the time
required for the formation of all strata
since the beginning of the Cambrian
rocks is 100000 years. Lord Kelvin
declares that the earth could not have
been habitable more than 100000
years.-Scientific American.

MAGNETISM IN VASES.
Instances Found in Some Ancient
Roman Pottery.

Instances Found in Some Ancient
Roman Pottery.
A curious instance of the stability of
magnetism has been found in some an
cient Roman pottery. Marked traces
of magnetization have been frequently
noticed in Etruscan vases. The obvious
assumption was that the magnetization
may have undergone some modification
during the many centuries that have
elapsed since the vases were baked.
DIR. Folgheraiter has settled this ques-
ton by his observations on some vases
which were pieced together from scat
tered fragments, taken from an exca-
walton at Arezzo. If the magnetization
of the baked clay had in any way al
tered since the vases were broken it is
clear that the different portions falling
and lying around indiscriminately
would have been differently affected,
and when the bits were pieced together
again the broken vases would have
shown irregular magnetization. But
they were found to be as regularly mag
netized as those which have been ex-
ca1ated entire, the opposite poles at
the mouth and base being exactly $50
degrees apart. DR.. Folgheraiter is
hopeful that further excavations may
lead to the discovery of potteries of the
Etruscan epoch containing un1isturbed
vases. This, while possible, seems I'M
probable. But then a little while ago,
as DIR. Folgheraiter points out, the an
tecedent improbability of our being
able to get any information at all asto
the elements of terrestrial magnetism
somewhere about the time of the Tar
quins would have seemed very great, in
deed.-N. Y. Times.

Twice year the elephants and the

The oiling and the manipulation cleanse
the skin, remove the dead skin and open
the pores, freshen the animals up and
improve their health, and they seem
to like the process. The oiling is done
only in the spring and summer; if done
in winter the animals would likely take
cold from it. The rhinoceros at the
park is in good condition and lively and
rather frisky for SO big brute. Some
times it steps about with q step that
lie very much like dancing step and
likely to surprise one who sees it for

movements. When the rhinoceros' cage
is cleaned out, which is done daily, the
keeper first attracts the great creature
to one side with tempting mess of
food. Then he slips a moose of rope
over the animals horn and settles it
down around the neck and makes the
other end fast around bar or two of
the elephants cage adjoining. This is
done to keep the rhinoceros from pitch
ing into the keeper if it should take a
notion. The same precaution is taken
when the rhinoceros is oiled. The ele-
plants, however, kneel at the word of

a ladder against them in order to reach
