DANGEROUS Trading.

Upon returning to camp we found
that John, the driver, had purchased a
load of pumpkins, which the native
men and women from the MaZoe val
ley had brought to the wagon to barter
At first l was pleased, but when l
found that John had traded away
about 20 pounds of preservative, con-
sisting Of alum and arsenic, which he
had mistaken for salt, | was filed
with dismay! We knew not the villages
whence the natives had come, nor
could we explain the mistake, as we
were ignorant Of their language; and
before my scared mental vision rose
piles Of dead MashOnas, pestilence and
war on the WhiteS-prOvided there re-
NAMED enough live Mashonas to make
it.
Hence it was that before daylight
the next morning we left for the fort.
We made no mention of the matter to
any one, but a year later, when visit
ing the Mazoe valley, l inquired Of
the natives if there had been any dis
ease among them about the time when
the white men arrived in the country.
They said there had been an epidemic
Of stomach aches, but, fortunately, no
one had died from it; so my conscience
was profoundly relieved.-"On the

Heat of the Earth.

1t is well known that a great deal of
effort has been put forth in all parts of
the world where mining is carried on
to great depth. to determine as sat
isfactory average the increase of the
earth's temperature with depth. A few
years ago it was commonly assumed to
be 1 degree for each 80 feet in depth,
but more recently deeper workings I'M
der other conditions have led to the be-
lief that it is something over 900 feet
for each degree Of increased tempera-
ture. It is admitted, however, that the
depth to which mining has thus far
been carried is so shallow as compared
with the great distance to the center of
the earth that it is really not known
what the average increase of tempera-
ture with depth is. Observations made
at the various places have been where
the surrounding conditions were so diff
ferent that the tests were not satisfac-
tory, as. for example, those made in
the Lake Superior and Nevada regions.

THE OPEN MOUTH.
Said to BE q Survival of Babyhood
G Tendencies.


Hiram NJ. Stanley advances a new
explanation of the tendency to open the
mouth in surprise and astOniShment.
Darwin ascribed this tendency to the
intuitive desire for quietness and eff
fectiveness Of breathing and to mere
relaxation of the muscles. Mr.. Stanley
finds q deeper organic reason-namely,
that the open mouth is the attention
sign, and is a primitive and constant
reaction with the young of many ami
mails for the reception of food-for eX-
ample, with birds.
ANY sound or other stimulus imnedl-
ately causes the young bird to extend
it's mouth. With young infants the
same influence has often the same eff
feet. The mouth Of the infant under
such stimulation usually assumes the
sucking form, and it's smile when the
finger is pointed at it may be either
nascent or degraded sucking.
Mr.. Stanley maintains that the COM
mon and highly useful tendency of the
very young to open the mouth to all
stimuli, visual, aural, ETC., continues as
a survival in after life, being especially
brought out with stimuli of high inten-
sity and unusual quality and thus be-
comes a mark of surprise and astonish-
ment. It is a habit very common
among boys and girls to open the
mouth under any attention. The rise
of smiling and laughter as connect
ed with wit and humor-at the basis of
which lies surprise-thus declares it
self as kind of attention expression.
Assuming that the primary express
sion of the mouth is feeding express
sion and that this probably has been
modified and evolved in connection
with a variety Of attention phenomena,
Mr.. Stanley suggests that it would be
worth while to make detailed study
of expression in infants and young ami
mails with this point in vieW.-St. Louis

bought it the other day from a Norwe-
gian sailor, who tells me it was given
to him by a Jap at Yokohama "a story
that you may take for what it is
worth -
AS he spoke he opened show case
and took out what seemed to be an or
binary Chinese marking brush of rather
large size. The handle was some ten
inches long and the diameter Of lead
pencil By giving it a sharp twist it
separated about hands breadth from
cane, and attached to the smaller piece
was a slender glass rod with a needle
point. The rod was not much bigger
than a knitting needle, and with the
handle it had the effect of very small
and delicate stiletto.
81 should think that would break if
it were used to stab with, remarked a
F4oAuO4 d. US1 CAdLu1u11IS D14O
Certainly it would" replied the
dealer, land that is where the iendish
ness Of the thing comes in. Look close
ly at the glass rod and you will see a
tiny groove filed around it about two
inches from the hilt Suppose that it
was driven into the body of a man, it
would be certain to break at the groove
and would leave at least three inches of
glass buried in his vitals. The puncture
would be so small that it would close
when the stump was drawn out, and I
doubt exceedingly whether a single
drop of blood would follow. In other
words, the victim could receive his
deathblow without knowing exactly
what had happened to him. He would
feel a shock and pang, but find no
wound, and meanwhile the assassin
would stick his brush together and go
about his business. Orleans
