of the month When clerk sells his
salary to a ten percenter, he gives the
latter an / o U for the entire salary
due him on the following pay day and
receives in exchange 80 per cent of the
amount. The man who makes the loan
retains the remaining 10 per cent,
whence his name Of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist
under one name or another In all Of the
great federal department buildings in
Washington. He is invariably a shrewd
government clerk who has a bit of
money of his own or has saved his sal
airy until its accumulation represents
a tidy little sum. This capital he is
ever ready to lend in sums of from $40
to 500.
In majority of the Washington Of

vigorously enforced that the ten per-
center is unable to transact business
in safety as an individual; he exists
nevertheless under the protecting title

cieties should not be confused with
the mutual beneficiary organizations
which have been established for a
number of years in many of the de-
partments, notably the government
printing Office, for the purpose of aid
ing sick or disabled members and their
families and of burying the dead. The
ten percenters' society never includes
more than five or six members. They
have their charter and carefully
drawn constitution and bylaws.
Each member contributes a certain
amount of money to the funds of the
concern, and the other employees Of
the Office are quietly informed how
they can be accommodated with loan
for small bonus. On the first of every
month the pool divides it's profits.
These organizations are usually short
lived, as they become unpopular when
the business begins to grow large. The
death of one fake association is rapidly
followed by the birth of successor,
differing from it's predecessor in name
only, so that the ten percenters are en-
abled to ply their trade without much
interruption.-New York Sun.

SCRAPS OF SCIENCE.

There are IS pounds of blood in the
body of an average grown up person,
and at each pulsation the heart moves
10 pounds.
While cyclones and tornadoes are diff

to give rise to the latter. Tornadoes
almost always break out, if at all, on

artillery has been heard 100 miles.
Sir Robert Ball asserted that every
100 years the sun loses miles of it's
diameter. To allay anxiety, however,
he mentioned that the diameter of the
sun is 100000 miles and that 10000
years hence the diameter would still
be $4,000 miles.

GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the Fleetest of All Four
Footed Animals.

They Are the Fleetest of All Four
Footed Animals.
Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
BILE. Some remarkable statistics in re-
gard to this have been gathered by M.
Dusolier, French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on BIZ
cycles or in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between so
and 60 miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as we'll, if not better.
hansen met one of these foxes on the
ice at point more than 70 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic coast. Es-
kimo and Siberian dogs can travel IA
miles on the ice in five hours, and there
is one case on record in which a team
of Eskimo dogs travelled 61a miles in
IS minutes.
According to M. Dusolier, the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used in
hunting rangessfro 10 to Is yards a
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate of Is to 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
as is proved by the fact that dog of
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse. covering four miles in 61a min
utes, which was at the rate of nearly
IS yards a second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
which are carefully selected and which
are used for eoursing. are able to COW
er at full gallop a space between IS
and % yards every second.
How great an achievement this is
may be judged from the fact that a
thoroughbred horse rarely if ever eX
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover, it is said
that hare at it's greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of Is yards,
These interesting statistics are ex-
citing. much comment among sports
men and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that M. Dusolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound to rank as the swiftest of the
quadrupeds. Express engines only sur
pass them.-London Mail.

About 200 miles in every direction is
the distance a man can see when stand
ing, on clear day, on the peak of the
highest mountain-say, at height of
26,66S feet, or little over five miles
above the level of the sea. An observer
must be at height of 6,667 feet above
sea level to see objects at distance of
100 miles. The distance in miles at
which an object upon the surface of
the earth is visible is equal to the
square root of one and half times the
height of the observer in feet above the
sea level.
Some allowance has to be made for
the effect of atmospheric refraction,
but as the refraction varies at differ
ent heights and is affected by the vari-
Gus states of the weather no precisely
accurate figures for general purposes
can be given Probably one-fourteenth
ito one-tenth of the distance given by
the formula would have to be- deducted,
owing to the refraction of the atmos-
phere.

BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW.

More than thousand years ago.
Shadows of time, how the days go by
There was man l used to know
May seem strange, but you'll see it's so
After tell you the reason why
Worked in a brickyard, same as you
And all Of us have to do;
Mixed in the trouble and worry and strife,
The mirth and the other things Of life;
Stirred in the hopes and the pains and fears,
Kneaded the mud with his sweat and his tears,
Humanest mass that ever you saw.
"Poor brick!" said the man, 'but ! have no
strawl'
Up to his knees in the miry pit,
A pygmy's way, but giants grit;
His back was chain of throbbing aches,
Lifting the mold with its esrthen cakes;
Elbows rusty as hinges of steel,
Enees so lame he could hardly kneel;
Mud SO stiff it would clog pillow
And couldn't be stirred with wheel nohow;
Nights as short as the days were long;
Nothing seemed right. but everything wrong.
"Best / can do" said the man. 'but pshaw,
You can't make brick when you have no strawl'
Taskmasters pitiless dashed the man
"Can'tP' sobbed Weakness, but Courage cried,
"Canp'
'Dont!'' said Despair, but Duty cried, ''Doi"
"Al right" said the man, cpl worry her
through
Can't do much, and reckon you'll see
Brick won't be just what they ought to be;
Amt nigh so good as know could make
II just had straw; but you'll have to take
The best can do for the works own sake.''
He finished his tale of brick and then
Went home to rest, and the sons of men
Looked on his perfect work and saw
He'd have spoiled the brick had he put in straw.
