Where's Your Dead spote

Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuring performance they have seen man run needles and pins through both cheeks, evincing no pain as he does so. In reality every per son has hundreds of senseless specks of skin all over his body through which he could run pins. or even cut them out, without feeling any pain. If some one else were to do so when he was blind folded. he would not be even aware of the fact. Physicians call them dead spots, and the reason that one man can sew his cheeks mp while another could not is simply because the former hap pens to have many hundreds of these spots in one place.
 These dead spots are caused by the minute nerves which convey every sen sation to the brain being either absent in these particular places or dead and senseless. But should any one of our readers allow himself to be blindfolded, and then get one of his friends to prod him very gently with a clean needle, say all on one arm, out of every hun dred bricks he will feel only about 60 or 70 at the most

Sir Joseph Prestwich had bought in 1864 small estate near Sevenoaks, on which he built a residence, but it was high up on dry and treeless chalk down. Where was water to be found?
 ''So confident was Prestwich in re- spect of water supply that he at once engaged an old we'll digger to sink well 1GS feet deep. The boring pro ceeded. but when depth of 166 feet was reached the two workmen went to the city and sought an interview with their employer, whom they found at his desk. They explained that there was no sign of water and that in their opinion it was useless to bore to a greater depth. Go On,' was the quiet rejOinder, you will come upon water to- morrow. You are within two feet of it.
 Next day it proved exactly as Prest- Wich had fOretOld. And ever after, among many of the denizens of the val ley, he had the reputation, much to his amusement, of not being quite 'canny' Life and Letters of Sir Jo- seph Prestwich.

 "A letter of advice to the postmaster where the money is to be paid must always go with a money order"
 Jerry went away from the window, grumbling and mystifed.

It is a remarkable fact that water which flows naturally into the gulf of California and thence into the Pacific ocean has been virtually lifted across the backbone of the Rocky mountains. and now, after being used for irriga- tion, finds its way to the gulf of MexI- co. 4 number of small streams on +be other side of Longs peak, which flow into Grand lake and thence into the Colorado river, have been diverted by ditch that finds its way through a pass 10000 feet high into the head waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet per second has thus been diverted from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope. where water is used for irrigating additional farms in Larimer county. It is not strictly correct to say that this water has been lifted across the range. But a feat of sinuous engineering has di- Verted 1t, which amounts to the same thing,-Oenver Republican.
