Any Language but Her Own.

A writer on one Of the newspapers
published In an Eastern city lately
overheard q conversation between two

1t is unnecessary to comment on such
a revelation Of the English spoken by
promising young students Of French,
except to say that it must be some ones
duty to teach them less French and
more English. Sometimes we learn our
own language the better for acquiring
q knowedge Of q foreign one, but that
peculiar sort Of philogical enlighten-
ment comes only after we have acquir-
ed at least a fair speaking knowledge

The tribes to the east Of the Cordille-
ras, in Southern Patagonia, belong to
Araucanian stock and are superior
race. The Teheuichs- they call them
selves-of Southern and Eastern Pata-
gonia are the people whose unusual
stature gave rise to the fables Of the
early days to the effect that the natives
of this region were gaints averaging
nine or ten feet in height. 1t is fact,
saws the Boston Transcript, that they
are the tallest human beings in the
world, the men averaging but slightly
less than six feet, while individuals OF
four to six inches above that mark are
not uncommon. They are In reality by
no means savages. but somewhat civil

An old clergyman who had held q
cure In a remote country district for
the greater part Of his life had occa-
sion, relates a contemporary, to consult
his bishop on a certain matter, and. in
answer to his letter, received an invita-
ton to the palace. where he would
have to stay all night. For forty or
fifty years he had practically led the
life Of a recluse. and 1t was after much
cogitation that he decided to take the
journey to the farther end of the dio-
cese, where the bishop lived. He ar
rived just In time for o'clock tea. a
meal to which he was a complete
stranger. After tea the bishop asked
him to accompany him to evensOng.
When they returned to the house the
bishop. remarking that 1t was quite
time they went upstairs, lighted can
die, and showed his guest to his room.
1t was then just o'clock: the old cler-
gyman thought 1t was rather early to
retire. but. admiring the bishop for
such simple habits, he prepared for bed.
down to sleep. wishing he had eaten n
little more tea, when a booming noise
rang through the house. Quick as
thought he sprang from his bed. and.
shouting "Firer' at the top of his voice,
rushed out on to the landing just in
time to meet the bishop, with some 9th
er guests, going down to dinner.

Dr. w. Z. kr0uSs, In discussing the
question of degeneration, which has oc-

Our earth grows heavier every day
by possibly one hundred tons. making
n liberal estimate Of the amount of
matter received from meteOrs and
shooting stars. At all times the earth's
atmosphere acts as q net catching
shooting stars that are crossing the
path. These stars vary In size from
grain Of matter to large-sized rock.
Our war with Spain threw much
light on the question Of the proper color
to render war ships invisible to the
enemy. The best tint was found to be
a dull gray with a yellow shade. Ships
thus colored blend inconspicuously
with the horizon, and with the rocks
alongshore. How nature deals with a
similar question is shown by the black
and yellow stripes Of the zebra and the
tiger, which render those animals al.
most invisible amid their habitual sur.
-oundings.
The skeleton Of the largest animal
yet found, called the Dinosaur, has re-
Gently been unearthed in Wyoming,
the land of big fossil remains. The as
founding figures are these: Whole
length. 13O feet. Of which sixty feet
were the tail and thirty the neck. A
vertebra out Of the middle Of the back.
bone measures sixteen inches in length.
The femur bone is eight feet long. In
the cavity of the ribs forty men could
be seated. The hips would stand thir-
ty-five feet high and the shoulders
twenty five. The weight Of the living
animal is calculated by Prof. Reed to
have been at least 10000 pounds, or
sixty tons.
Many must have noticed that in win
ter time the sky seems to lack the
roominess and lofty arching Of sum-
mer. 1t appears on cloudy, or partially
cloudy, days to be nearer the earth
than is the case on similar days during
the summer months. That this appear
ance Is no fgment Of the Imagination
Is shown by recent Investigations made
at the Upsala Observatory on the ele-
vation of clouds. 1t is found that all
varieties Of clouds float at a much
greater altitude in summer than In
winter. The months of greatest eleva-
ton. at least In Sweden, are June and
July.
Among the inventions which had q
