A Curious Barometer.

A curious barometer Is said to be
used by the remnant of the Araucarian
race. which inhabits the southernmost
province of Chill. 1t consists the
cast-off shell Of a crab. The dead shell
is white in fair, dry weather; but. in
dicating the approach of moist att
mosphere by the appearance of small
red spots, as the moisture in the air
increases it becomes entirely red, and
remains SO throughout the rainy sea-
son.

Chorus.

Chorus
Hurrah. hurrah for Northern rights,
Hurrah, hurrah for the Union,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrahl
Colonel Hanson did receive him with
four hundred Yankees brave,
Like patriots of old they fought their
home and friends to save;
Morgan asked him to surrender, but
Hanson did reply.
Cheer, boys. cheer. we will fight him
till we diet"
They fought two hours or more; no as
sistance came TO hand;
The little band OF Union boys could no
longer stand;
Although a victory they did gain and
Morgan badly beat,
They surrendered to five thousand
rebs, which was no defeat.
He marched on to Hoosier, expecting
friends TO find,
But he found out too late at last his
friends he had left behind;
Old Hoosier II was Union, no sympa-
thizers there.
The Stars and Stripes, the good old
flag, was floating far and near.
Then he turned his course to the old
Ohio State,
Little did old John think what would
be his fate;
But poor old John was caught at last
with every rebel man,
| They all belonged TO Government, te
good old Uncle Sam.
Now cheer, boys. cheer, we will raise
the joyous shout,
| For General Morgan and Colonel Luke
have both Just gone out,
Then another rousing for ShackleforC
we all will give;
We will raise on high the Stars ant
Stripes and praise IT while w
live,

Prosperity in Japan.

There have been rumors of late to the effect that next years budget in Japan will be very unsatisfactory but official figures show a condition of prosperity that is reassuring. Things are moving smoothly and there is no prospect of any discrepan- cy between results and estimates. The prospects for 1901-2 ought to have been in the hands of the finance min ister by Mav 31, but those from the educational department and the agri- cultural and commercial department have not yet been received. However, the main figures are known and they show that there will be a surplus of 100000 yen (S2,000,000). This is very different showing from that of the pessimists. If Japan's credit is bad the reckless statements of cer- tain Japanese newspapers are to blame.-Chieago News.

communicating from a Balloon.

A new method has been discovered whereby balloonists may communicate while at an altitude of over 6,000 feet with those on the ground. The meth cd consists of a huge drum placed some fifty feet below the car which is beaten by electricity. The dots and dashes of the Morse telegraphic code have been adopted with complete sue cess. This will prove great advan- tage in warfare. Hitherto balloons have been limited to an ascension of 1000 to 1,5oo feet, on account of their telegraphic wires, and have thus been unable to escape the range of fire.

The Ice Floods of Iceland.

Dr. Thorvald Thoroddsen in recent papers gives curious picture of life and scenes in Iceland. Settlements are limited to the lowlands, yet even these are not safe places of abode, for they are exposed to lava floods, river floods and showers of volcanic ashes When the glaciers of the dome-shaped noun tains are suddenly melted by volcanic heat, overwhelming torrents, bearing immense masses of ice and fragments of rock, sweep down the river-beds. Yet with all their disadvantages the inha bitants of the narrow lowlands of Iceland enjoy universal education. and among them more books and newspa- pers are published per head of popula- tion than in any other country.

The pressure of trade competition during the last decade has prompted Great Britain to ut..ize an extraordi- nary method of impressing foreign traders with her superiority. The new scheme is to scatter broadcast over the commercial world British manufac- lures in every important commercial world British experts in matters of trade to lecture on British manufac- lures in every important commercial center of the globe.

HEBREW NEW YEAR.
Annual Holiday Generally Observed by
 the Jewish People.

the Jewish People.
 One of the two great Jewish annual holidays-the Jewish New Year-fell this year on Monday. Sept. 24. In ac- cordance with immemorial custom the day was celebrated m every part of the world where there is colony of Jews, large or small. with special re- ligious services appropriate to the day. The strictly orthodox Jews take two days to celebrate the New Years anni- versary, and their services continued during Monday and Tuesday, Sept. "A and p. In all synagogues. radical and orthodox alike. the New Years cele- braton began on the evening previous that is, sunday. Sept 25. On Mon- day morning all the synagogues held solemn religious services. The ritual in the liberal synagogues was espec- iany elaborate for the occasion al though many of the older literal ob- servations were omitted. The blow ing of the rams horn, for instance, which is a feature of the orthodox celebration, was supplanted from the choir In the reformed synagogues there is usually a special SCI mon ap- prOpriate to the occasion. In the or thoaoX synagogues the New Years services are more or less constant dur ing the two days set apart. Among the orthodox Jews it is customary to suspend business entirely during the two days of New Years services. The Jewish New Years festival marks the beginning of the month of Tishri- corresponding to SeptemberO October in the Christian calendar. 1t is also the first of the civil year. corresponding to the seventh month of Mosaic or ecclesiastical year. According to the Jewish reckoning. the recent festival ushered in the year 5661. The distin- gushing feature of the celebration in all orthodox synagogues is the blow ing of horns in accordance with the Levitical code, announcing the usher ing in of another year. Among the so- cial customs of the Jewish New Year is the sending of cards of remembrance to absent friends or relatives. The other great yearly holiday of the Jews, the Day of Atonement, comes ten days later, and fell this year on Oct. 3. The Day of Atonement is a solemn occa- sion for fasting and prayer, and is universally observed by all classes of Jews.

A bobbin of +sis film is the journal, and the subscriber puts it through a portable stereoscope, like a field glass, and looks at the pictures, thereby reading the news.

AVARICIOUS QUEEN.
Elizabeth of England Accused by His. torians of Hoarding Public Funds

torians of Hoarding Public Funds.
 The great Queen Elizabeth nearly wrecked England by her parsimony and IS, therefore. condemned by his torian after historian for her ava rice. She probably had no avariee in her composition. She may have. prob ably had, inherited a trace of the rigid spirit of her grandfather. Henry VII. that able attorney on throne, but she did not hoard money for herself but for the state. The revenue in her time was small in proportion to the demands on it, she was convinced that it was her first duty to keep the treas ufy solvent, and, like any other spar Ing housewife, her notion of the meth cd was to resist every demand. to cut down every supply, and to seek unpaid help from any individual whom she could suppose to be bound to render it. So she levied every penny to which she was entitled; she cut down in- dents even for powder, as a housewife cuts down demands for gravy beef; and she required of her nobles and her
 
 purses, which it had previously been their duty to make, but which it was their duty no longer She acted, in fact, as treasury officials sometimes act now from an inapplicable sense of duty; and not once or twice. but several times, she nearly paralyzed her ac in ation. Frederick the Great did precisely the same thing from the same motive, and both king and queen in time of peace saved their people from great suffering and mis- fortune. They were successful. and were, therefore. forgiven, as treasury officials are now and will be always. until the unlucky day when the Ar mada approaches. and there Is not powder enough to supply the existing fleet It is vain to say the officials are perverse, and mean, or avaricious; they are simply doing their proper work without the imagination to see that. new conditions having arisen. they should do it in different way.
