Close Observers VIII Notice 1t In Old

Close Observers VIII Notice 1t In Old
Smokers.
The constant habit Of smoking pipes
has a ~perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure Of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases their curva-
ture around the stem and the muscles
become more rigid here than in other
parts. Thus, says Tit-Bits, the lips at
a certain point become stronger, and
the pipe is unconsctously held in the
same habitual position. After long
continuation Of the habit small Cir.
cular wrinkles form parallel with the
curvature of the lips around the stem.
These are crossed by finer lines, caus-
ed by the pressure Of the lips to retain
the stem In position. In the cast OF old
men who have smoked q pipe for years,
the effect upon tho lips Is very marked,
not only altering the form Of the lips
but Of one entire side Of the face, caus-
Ing the wrinkles that are the effect
of age to deepen, and, instead Of fol-
lowing the natural curse of facial
wrinkles, to change their ccurse SO as
to radiate from the part Of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried.
Furthermore, one or both lips often
protrude, just like the lips Of people
who have sucked their thumbs when
children. The effects of pipe smoking
upon the teeth are considerable. At
tho point where the smoker usually
holds the stem between his teeth the
latter becomes much worn.

The famous pitch lake, or great bitu-
men deposit of Trinidad, is situated at
Point Libres, on an elevation OF abou
a mile from the sea. 1t covers an area
Of nearly Il hundred acres, and its
appearance is that Of a dull. still, dark
waste. 1t is irregularly circular, and
it surface p%erceptibly convex, being
mor elevated In the center, and
thence insensibly declining on all sides.
In the center the pitch is quite soft
in fact, semi-liquid-hut 1t becomes
more and more hardened as its circum-
ference widens out. Except the soft
central parts, the surface is intersected
in all directions by numerous assures
or chasms, varying in breadth from
two feet to sixteen feet, and from half
a foot to seven feet in depth, widen
ing also at the surface and terminal
ing acutely at the bottom, thus pro-
ducing. ss it were. inverted angular
hollows, while the sides are regularly
rounded. These crevices r at all
times filled with fresh water. Here
and there, where the bitumen Is mixed
with earthly water, grow lichens,
MOSES, grasses, etc. The center Of the
lake, the pitch pot, or chaudiere, as
1t is called, is at all times so soft that
1t would be impossible to venture On 1t
without mourning the danger Of being
engulfed. The lake is government
property, and parts Of it are leased
out to private individuals, who have
to pay royalties. according to the
amount Of pitch removed, which
amount 10 checked by the government.
The pitch lake is practically mex
haustible. No matter what quantity
is taken out, 1t is replaced by fresh
pitch, which always wells up to hi!
the hole. The surface Of the outer
edges of this most wonderful Of lakes
is quite hard enough to walk upon; but
a curious result ensues II you stand
still for any length of time on one
spot. For some yards around you the
pitch bodily sinks until it forms a
basin. It is quite different to sinking
in sand, where your feet gradually dis-
appear without making any apparent
difference In the level Of the ground.

Description of This Ingenious oaloulat-
Ing Machine.
The device known as the swanpan Is
a small counting table used by the
Chinese to facilitate numerical caleu-
lations. The Chinese have no figures,
nor any equivalent for them, but they
have made use Of the swanpan for
many centuries. The merchants and
manufacturers are usually very expert
in making calculations; but the labor
ing classes are, as a rule, ignorant Of
the simplest arithmetical operations
and employ the swanpan in computing
even a small amount. It is an 1n-
genious little instrument, divided into
two compartments, an upper and q
lower, and the compartments are cross
ed by slender bamboo rods, tightly
stretched Irvine, or, more frequently,
by iron wires. Two small balls are
strung on each rod, or wire, in the
upper compartment, and FIVE on each
wire in the lower compartment. The
principal use Of the upper set Of balls
is to double the numerical value OF
the lower one The balls on the nrst
wire to the right represent units, the
next tens, the next hundreds, the next
thousands and so on, in tenfold pro-
gression. By thus using the swanpan
any sum expressed in figures may be
shown by the movable balls with &C
curacy and surprising rapidity. Chi
nese accountants become so expert in
using the device that, even in large
commercial transactions, they can COM
pute the sum total in less time than
it would take to write down the fig
ures. In Its construction and use the
swanpan closely resembles the abacus,
a calculating machine used in mercan-
tile transactions by the ancient
Greeks and Romans. "Abacus Pytha-
g~oricus" vas a%nciently a name for the
multiplication table. In our modern
schools a kind of swanpan, or abacus,
Is frequently used for teaching small
children addition and multiplication.
1t usually consists Of q frame with
twelve wires running through it. and
twelve beads or small balls on each

Rardships Of Army life.
Hnom the Press. Milr0u, Ind.

One OF the first to offer their services for
the country in the OWL War was A. Il. Self
ton, OF Milroy, Rush Co., Ind. He made a
good record. The life OF every soldier is a
hare one, and Mr.. Sefton's case was no ex-
ceptton. "We were in Tennessee, penned
In on ali sides. Our rations were very
scarce" said he, "and we had begun to go
on quarter allowance, and as the rain was
not enough to replenishthe wells or streams,
our canteens went empty. We were hur-
ried on, and the only way to quench our
thirst was to go down on our hands and
knees and drink from the hoof tracks made
by the horses.
