boats Carried on Mems Heads,

The achievement has often been re-
felr'd to of the carrying of steamboats,
on the backs of men. The expression is
not accurate, for the Congo natives are
trained from infancy to carry burdens
on their heads When European on
the lower Congo sent his black boy to a
store to buy some cigarettes, he was
surprised to see the servant return with
the tiny package on his head. When IA
Congo woman has smoked her much
loved pipe, the treasure is likely to re-
pose on her head until she again re-
quires it, and if her husband, unfortu-
nately, has been able to procure bottle
of rum, he walks home with it nicely
balanced on his head, throwing stones
at the stray dogs and cats in his way,
without the slightest idea that he is
really an expert equilibrist. Most of the
many thousands of pieces of steamboats,
were carried on the heads and not on
the backs of men,.
The 90, 900 natives of the lower Congo
who have been carrying these steam
boats and all other freight around the
cataracts are the very men who could

THE EARTH,

The astronomers say the earth is a ring
of matter which was "shot off, by the sun
66, 900, 900 years ago and which gradually
worked itself into ball or globe.
1t is believed that when the earth was at
its maximum heat, say soon after parting
with the sun, its bulk was 445 times great
er than at present.
According to the astronomical, geolog-
ical and anthropological evidence, man
first appeared upon the earth $50, 900 years
ago.
The mean tempera ture of the earth,
taken as whole, is 80 degrees F., and the
average annual rainfall is 80 inches.
The landed surface of the globe con
tains, us near as it is possible to ascertain,
33, 6G0, 600, 900 acres.
1hree-fourths of the landed area is unfit
for cultivation on account of mountains,
deserts, swamps, etc.
The earth rotates from west to east, but
all of the astronomers in the world are
not equal to the task of telling why.
Some biologists and astronomers profess
to believe that the earth is solid. Others
say that it is molten mass enveloped In
a pellcle of land.
Lord Kelvin, aNpoted authority, rejects
the views of Ball, Langley ct al. and de-
clares that the earth is 100, 900, 600 years
old.
The velocity of the earth's rotation on
its axis at the equator is ,440 feet per sec
ond, or nearly 20, 900 miles day
Careful measurements prove that the
average curvature of the earth is g. 90
incl hes to the statute mile

A Roland For His OJiyer

1t is said that Professor John Stuart
Blackie often told ION HIMSELF this
anecdote, which seems to indicate that
personalities are not agreeable, even 10
those who deserve criticism.
This genial old professor used to
form very picturesque feature in the
Edinburgh streets. He was a wiry old
patriarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in ringlets about his shoul-
ders No one who had seen him could
possibly forget him.
One day he was accosted by very
dirty little bootblack with his "Shine
your boots, sir?"
The professor was impressed by the
filthiness of the boys face
Il don't want shine, my lad" said
he, "but if you'll go and wash your
face I'll give you sixpence.
IA RIGHT, sir, was the lads reply.
Then he went over to neighboriug
fountain and made his ablutions. Re-
turning, he held out his hands for the
money.
"Well, my lad, said the professor
"you have earned your sixpence. Here
it is'
81 dinna want it, auld chap" return
ed the boy with a lordly air aye can
keep it and get yer hair cut. -

Gently taken sick. The employer
mailed letter to a local business
college to send him stenographer
and typewriter. The business man
is very particular about his vocabu-
larry and wants everything written
just as he dictates it. Therefore, in
order to test the newcomer s accu-
racy, he, instead of debating AN Or
dinary business letter, gave forth
the following at rate of speed that
would do justice to stump speaker
I'm promulgating your esoteric

BILE philosophical or psychological

But he got no further, for the
poor amanuensis broke his pencil in
the effort, after which he got up,
wiped the perspiration from his
forehead and quickly left the Office.

Anticholcra Vaccination.

Anticholera vaccination originated
about IL years ago with DR.. Ferran, a
Spanish physician. His vaccine of eight
drops of a cholera culture mixed with
bile was used with many misfortunes
upon 20, 900 persons, but gave sufficient
encouragement to lead to Haffkines ex-
periments, which have proved so sue
cessful in India Haffkine employs
attenuated cholera bacilli, followed a
few days later by virulent cultures.
Equally good results from the use of
dead cholera bacilli-killed by either
heat or chloroform-ar now claimed
by Kolle, who gets the same effects by
simply using somewhat larger doses of
his less terrifying preventive. Compare
tive tests have shown that the blood Of
the vaccinated individuals is now 200
times as potent in resisting cholera in
fection as that of the unvaccinated. As
evidence Of the effectiveness Of modern
methods of dealing with cholera the
fact is mentioned that it has had 800, =
600 victims in Russia since 1892, while
in Germany, including the amburg
epidemic, its deaths have been but
5000. The disease seems destined soon
to become as obsolete as smallpox.
