Csed In Place of the Sun to Fix the
 Time of Day.
 Probably the majority of people sup pose that the observatorfes obtain the correct time from the sun. When the average man wishes to give his watch the highest praise he says, Tt regu- lates the sum-" not being aware that a watch which would keep with the sun around the year would have to be nearly as bad as Captain Cuttle's. The farmer may safely decide when to go to dinner by the sun, but if the mariner was as confident that the sun marked always the correct time as the farmer is he would be sure to be at times 200 or 300 miles from where he thought he was. In other words, the sun that is, sundial-is only correct on 8 few days in each year, and during the intervening times gets as far as 9 whole quarter hour fast or slow, ac- cordisg 10 Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab- lished with the greatest accuracy by the most careful observations at a humber of the principal observatories of the world. If a stars exact posi- tion is known, it can readily be cal- culated when it will pass the meridian of any given place-that Is, the in- stant it will cross north and south line through the place. The data re- garding these stars are all published in the nautical almanacs, which are got out by several different observa- tions for the use of navigators and all others who have uses for them. These stars are known as "clock stars"

 They Can Make Music
 Contractors in south Missouri en- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped h piles along the side of the roads The negroes then cake them up, tie by tic. and run with them up the blanks to the cars, whore they drop them in regular ordeJ These negroes are paid 3 price for each tie they carry, so they Rie with one another to earn the most money in one day. They become go expert at the work that an old hand can throw heavy tie on his shoulder So that it will balance, and then. with put holding it, he will run, both hands pressed flat against his sides, up the gang plank to the ear. The negroes are so accustomed to the whrk that they seldom drop a tie and seem never 10 have sore shoulders. One may see gangs of dozen or more of them, all singing and whistling. Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as ne can, and every tune is different. The effect is amusing. but beyond de- scription. The men carry their ties at trot all day long. An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up the car to examine the ties being load ed. It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call negro halfway up the plank with tie on his shoulder to throw it away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets no credit for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves in the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed, but the flesh is ca,loused and seldom sore. The men make good wages, most of them s3.50 day. They spend all of 1t. Very few of them save their money.

TURKISH BOYS IN SCHOOL
Some Astonishing Yarns Taught tb.
 Young Students.


 lne beginning of Mahonmedan boy s school life is always made an occasion for festival. It occurs on ms seventh birthday. The entire school goes to the new scholars home. leading richly caparisoned and flower peaeeked donkey. The new pupil is paced on this little beast, asd with his hod5a, or teacher, leading the children form a double file and escort him to the schoolhouse, singing joyous hyrans. 10 stranger the common Turkish schooi presents a singular scene. The pupils are seated cross-legged on the pare marble pavement in the porch of the mosque, forming a semicircle about hodja, who is, as a rule, an old fat man. He holds in his hand a stick long enough to reach every student. by means of this rod he is enabled not only to preserve order among the mis- ehleyous, but to urge on the boy whose recitation is not satisfactory. But as a rule, hodjas are lazy and often fall asleep. halfgrown boy, in the preg-
 VI o buiooioudly, WuO lSll5 tH0 story, asked the hodja: What makes 1t rain?'' "trp in the c}ouds,'' su. swered this wise teacher, "our prophet Mahomet and the one who belongs to the Christians went into business to- gether, the profits to be divided. One night Mahomet stole all the profits and ran away. In the morning when the Christian god discovered his loss lie Edrsued Mahomet in his golden char tot, the rumbling of whose wheels makes the thunder. The lightning are fhe bullets of fire which the god shot after his fleeing partner. Mahomet, finding he could not escape in midair. plunged into the sea, the Christian god followed him, the shock splashed the water out, and it fell to the earth in rain" The young Turks. believing the teachings of their hodja, grow up with out further Investigating the causes Of rain, the true source of which is taught an American child in the kindergarten. seBoston Globe

SLEEP AS A CURE FOR HUNGER

Starving Peasants of Russia Are Com,
 pelled to Try the Remedy.
 About the beginning of this century distinguished French philanthropist, A. Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months. as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of com fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to a report which has been issued, their almost complete absti- uence from food has produced no harmful result, and even has from their standpoint proved highly benef district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenance. When the elders of the district saw that starvation stared the people in the face they ad- vised them to make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter. This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and a drink of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar- entity some of the poorest inhabitants of PskoW have been in the habit of hi- bernating for some years, but the prac- tice did not become general until re- gently, and it has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and of physicians. Medical men In St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques< tions: First. does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner. if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical. ay and mentally 7-New York Herald

 Hiii Just for Fun


 Hfis Just for Fun
 It seems strange to think that any full grown, four footed animal should indulge in play like child, and yet this is what the otter does. His amusement is tobagganing. and his playground is a slope, covered with ica or snows that goes down grade into pool of water. No little boy, with 8 new sled, ever enjoyed coast down an ice-bound hill more than this beau tiful creature from the frozen 'sh. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as 25 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- Ing, however, of heavier build, and Is both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water, he preys on fish, which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. The entrance to his home, which is a burrow in the bank of stream, Is Snder the water. In the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another, sometimes spend Ing months on the journey. If they happen to see an inviting hill by tho wayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. One of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body When the slide is pre- pared, he lies flat on his belly, thrusta his nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail- ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from s Int for few seconds: then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give call which sounds like whistle. This is sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- 'ion and shoots down to the bottom to Join his companion, who has mean. while crawled out on the ice. Then another whistle and the next in ordes slides and plunges, and the perform ance Is kept up until each one has ssvasal trips to his credit.-Exchange

Well Mt Yokohama.

Surgeon General Van Reypen of the navy
has received a letter from the rgeon of
the naval hospital at Yokohama, giving the
condition of several of the wounded Amer
lean officers. 1t gives the first word as to
Surgeon Lppitt, who had his leg fractured
by bullet during the siege of Pekin. The
wound is doing well. The bullet remains
in the thigh close to the bone near the
point of fracture. 1t has been decided to
let the patient recover his strength before
removing the bullet. An X-ray negative
taken on the British hospital ship Maine,
which brought DR.. Lippitt to Yokohama,
shows that portions Of the broken bone

as looking well and cheerful. Lieutenant
Taussig, who was wounded while with Cap

with the aid of cane. His wound is nearly
closed. and his recovery will be complete
