WINTER AS a TONIC.
Cold as an Invaluable Stimulant to the

Cold as an Invaluable Stimulant to the
Human System.
Many persons regard the winter sea-
son as an unfortunate visitation. 1t is
considered both uncomfortable to the
body and harmful to health. This is an
error. Cold is a most potent agent for
the restoration and preservation of
normal activity on the part of the or
gans of the human body. 1t is a wise
plan of Providence which gives US a
change of seasons.
The winter cold comes as a tonic to
repair the injuries done by the enervat-
ing heat of summer. Summer, il Is
true. has many wise uses in the matter
Of health. 1t induces outdoor life, rios
the system of poisohs through copious
perspiration. and through the scOrching
rays of sun destroys germ life.
Winter Is the great bracer of the sys-
ten. IL stimulates activity in every
organ. When cold attacks the surface
Of the body the blood is set into more
free circulation as a means of bodily
warmth. 1t is through the circulation
Of the blood that the human anatomy
Is kept in a state of repair.
When the food has been digested and
converted into liquid form IL is taken
up By the blood and carried the rounds
Of the system for the purpose Of repair
/ ing the waste places. When the cold
causes increased circulation 1t also
brings about more perfect nutrition.
/ Mans face and hands illustrate how
/ weather-prOof the body becomes when
exposed to air. Continued activity in
circulation on the surface. caused by
the air coming In contact with the skin,
tends TO nourish and thicken the skin.
Thus mans skin grows thicker In
winter, Just as animals are supplied
with double coat Of fur. The savages
who dwell bareheaded in the open air

ed with bald heads. while, with the

LANGUAGE OF FINNY TRIBES i
STUDIED BY SUBMERGE SAVANT

w. S. Gilbert has placed on record
the fact that a certain whale
Used unduly
To swagger and bully"
Probably with the motive of deter
mining the accuracy of this statement,
an attempt has been made here to as
certain whether fish can talk or not.
Prof. Kollicker. who made the expert
ments. says he is positive that the fin
ny tribes have language of their own
and that future experiments and in
vestigations win reveal it's intricacies;
in time he even may be able TO trans
late the conversation to which he will
listen in his submarine visits.
The method IN which the investiga-
lions were made is interesting. An
iron cage lighted by electricity was
preparedn in this the professor was
lowered to the bottom Of the Mediter-
ranean enclosed in a diving suit. In
the cage was n photograph with re-
ceiver OF such extraordinary power that
II would register the slightest sound.
Within this receiver was placed a
bunch OF electric lights: the idea being
that the fish would be surprised by this
strange visitor i'm their haunts into ut
tering whatever ordinations they
were accustomed to use under similar
circumstances.
Several Of the experiments were
fruitless; the records made by the pho
nograph being useless because of the
various distant sounds, which were in
tensified by the wonderful sound carry
ing properties of the water. rendering
the voices of the fish inaudible in the
chorus of other sounds.
After many attempts, however, the
professor secured several especially
clear records Of tie voices of the sea
monsters " the Mediterranean water:
and these he has labeled carefully.
In the collection is one record which
gives distinctly a note of astonishmen
from a shark, says the scientist, ant
others give notes Of the same characte
from many sea monsters.
The Mediterranean is considered tn
best body of water in the world II

as this. because almost all sorts Of fisl

number of species than the British and
Scandinavian seas, but there are not
nearly as many useful kinds in it's wa
teIs.
The vast number of fish in this sea
Is accounted for by the fact that the
waters of the Mediterranean are warm
er than those of the Atlantic, owing TO
the heat from the African deserts and
to the sheltering mountains to the
north, which afford protection from the
cold winds.
The surface temperature in summer
is about five degrees above that of
ocean water. The expeditions for the
scientific exploration of the deep seas
discovered that this surface temper
allure is limited to a depth of one hun
dred fathoms; at every depth beneath
this even down to nineteen hundred
fathoms the temperature of the Medit-
erranean, unlike that of the Atlantic, is
uniform and remains always at about
81 or 55 degrees. The waters of the
Mediterranean also, unlike most inland
seas, contains about one-sixth per cent.
more salt than the Atlantic ocean.
Some scientists account for the even
temperature of these waters by the
pressure of submarine volcanic fires.
| This view is plausible when the exist
| ing active volcanoes of Etna, Vesuvius
and Stromboli on its shores, and the
comparatively numerous instances oil
volcanic action by which islands were
suddenly upheaved on which volcanic
| fires have appeared for q short time are
taken into consideration.

COOLING WATER WITHOUT ICE.
How 1t is Effectively Accomplished in
Nicaragua.


Nicaragua.
When a native in one OF the broiling
hot little villages of Interior Nicaragua
wants to cool some water she fills a
half gallon earthenware jar about two
thirds full. Parenthetlcally 1 say
"sht," because this is task that re-
quires more energy than any male
Nicaraguan was ever known to possess.
The jar is made of baked clay, and,
not being glazed. is partially porous,
and soon becomes moist on the outside.
Two leather straps are firmly attached
to the neck, and, SEEING these in Ger
hands she begins to rotate the jar
swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide
open, but centrifugal attraction keeps
the liquid from flying out. The aver
age native woman is frail and listless
in appearance. but the endurance which
they exhibit at this sort of calisthenics
is marvellous. 1t is about the same as
swinging Indian clubs, and I am afraid
to say how long L have seen them keep
it up, lest you might set me down as a
prize liar. Generally the lord and mas
ter lies in one corner of their ''jacal,'
or hut, smoking a cigarette and watch
ing the operation languidly. When the
woman thinks the water is sufficiently
cool she stops with a dexterous twist
of the wrist, and hands him the jar.
Usually he takes a gulp, growls out

as a rule, to dampening the jar on the

Offenbach, the famous opera boute
composer, had an Unsuitable thirst for
success and fame combined with a
vanity that occasionally played him
sorry trick.
Once he was going down the Rhine
on a steamer, among whose passengers
was The Duke of Nassau, 4 fact Of
which the composer was in blsSful ig-
nOTance.
As the steamer approached its last
stopping place the bank of the river
was seen to be covered by a dense
throng of people who were shouting
and waving their hats. A band on the
pier was playing a march from one Of
Ofenbach's operas.
AS the boat touched the pier Often
bach stepped to the rail and bowed and
waved his hat to the people in ac-
acknowledgement Of this tlatteTing ova-
ton.
1T is glorious to be received in a
foreign land like thisp' he remarked to
his companions.
But his self complacency received a
rude shock the next instant when the

A Famous Pearl.

The beautiful pearl Known as Sthe
Great Southern Cross was found in
Western Australia in the year 1884. 1t
consists Of nine pearls joined together
in the form Of a cross, in which shape
it was found by & man named Clarke.
1t is said that the finder and the first
purchaser OF it buried it for some time,
superStitiOusly regarding it as a heav-
enly miracle. 1t WAS, however, ulti-
mately taken ND from its burial place
and sold for $1,000, since which time it
has frequently changed hands and is
now valued at $4,000 At the Colonial
and Indian exhibition in England it at
tracted a good deal Of notice and is
probably the only natural cross ever
found.

Three. men appeared before judge
In HOnan. China. and each laid claim
TO the same WCE!an as his Wife. Not
one of them would retire in favor of
the other two. but each insisted that
Justice should be Done to Linn. Finally
the Judge exclaimed. We'll, if you
three men cannot come to some agree
ment nothing remains for me but to
order that the woman shall be killed,
as there is no other way in which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled"
He then called for q large cup of wine,
and when it was brought he poured in
to It some dark powder and compelled
the woman to drink it. Excited as she
was. the woman speedily began to feel
the effect of the strong liquor. She
stamniered when She tried; to speak,
and her flushed checks were an indica-
tiOn. to the observers that the poison
was working and that her end was
near at band.
This VAS the climax for which the
judge hal waited. When he saw that
the woman was apparently dying, he
called one of the three men who claim
ed her as wife and babe him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
however, showed no inclination to do
so. and the judge thereupOn insisted
that he renOunce all rights to her. This
he willingly did and SO did the second
man. Only one claimant was now left,
and he agreed to remove the woman
and to care for her until she died. Sat
isfied that he was her real husband,
the judge called him and said: You
will not be sorry for acting in this
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
since she is in no danger Of death. The
liquor which she has drunk was orGi-
nary wine, and the powder which
poured into it was nothing but brown
sugar"
