The Eatn Inorganic.

The fata morgana is singular aerial
phenomenon akin to the mirage. 1t Is
seen in many parts Of the world. but
most frequently and in greatest per-
lection at the strait of Messina. be-
tween Sicily and Italy. So many con-
ditions must coincide, however. that
even there it is of comparatively rare
occurrence. To allow Of its production
the sun must be at an angle Of Is de.
grees- with the water. both sky and sea
must be calm, and the tidal current suf-
ficiently strong to cause the water in
the center to rise higher than on the
edges of the strait. When these condi-
tons are fully met, the observer on the
heights Of Calabria, looking toward
Messna. will behold series of rapidly
changing pictures, sometimes of most
exquisite beauty.
Castles. colonnades, SUGGESTIONS Of
beautiful arches, palaces, cities. will,
houses and streets and church domes.
mountains, forests, grottoes. will ap-
pear and vanish, to be succeeded per.
haps by fleets Of ships. sometimes
placidly sailing over the deep, some
times inverted, while halo like a
rainbow surrounds every image. It is
supposed that the images are due to
the irregular retroactive powers Of the
different layers of air above the sea,
which magnify, repeat and distort the
objects on the Sicilian shore beyond.
but to the Italians these singular APP
pearances are the castles of the Prin-
cess Morgana, and the view of them is
supposed to bring good fortune to the
behOlder.

The ancient theory of suicide as a
duty, was reviewed in the consulta-
tions of the National association of
physicians at Indianapolis, recently.
One physician of note, DR.. Thurston
of Richmond, expressed his opinion
that suicide was not only permissible
but sometimes a duty. He believes
that when a man arrives at a condi-
ton beyond regeneration he is better
out of the world than in it, and he
confers benefit on himself, his friends
and community by killing himself.
This is true of dangerous criminal
pursued by officers, in hopeless cases
of wasting diseases and total moral
degeneration, but not in cases of in
sanity. This doctor does not admit
the theory that every man who com.
mits or attempts suicide is insane
even temporarily.

ent to maintain the educational insti
tutions of the state without direct tax
alton, the situation will be such that
Flathead and one or two other coun-
ties of the state will be maintaining
such schools through the income from
tax exempted lands.
The burden of maintaining the state
institutions will fall least upon the
wealthiest counties while they will
also derive the greatest benefits. That
may be good business proposition,
but it is not just.

Skeleton In the Closet.

The original of the singular saying,
"a skeleton in the closet" which is
found in almost every language in Eu-
rope, is found in one Of those curious
collections of stories which the monks
Of the middle ages were fond of max.
ing both for their own amusement and
for the instruction of youth. In one Of
these collections, compiled by an un-
known hand about the middle Of the
tenth century, there is story of a
wealthy lady who, having a secret
grief, confided it to friend who was
apparently perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife of nobleman who
lived in his castle in the south of
France. She and her husband were
outwardly on the most loving terms.
Not q care cloud seemed to cast a
shadow on her path.
After hearing the story Of her afflict.
ed friend the noble lady took her by
the hand and led her to secret cham
Der adjoining her bedroom, there open
ed the door of closet and exposed a
skeleton. "Know, my FRIEND" she
said, mo one is happy. Every day l
am forced by my husband to kiss this
grinning death head, which is that of a
