Dogs in Europe.

France is reported to hold the Eu-
ropean record for dogs. 1t is stated
that it contains no less than 1854, O00
dogs that are registered. Not only
are there more dogs in France than in
any other country in Europe, but there
is also a greater number per thou
sand inhabitants than in any other
European country France has rs
dogs to every thousand of its inhabit-
ants. Then follow Ireland with 70,
England with 3S, Germany with 81,
and Sweden with II. 1t is very salts
factory to find that societies for the
protection of dogs are on the increase.
Such societies do a noble work, and
they are deserving Of every encourage
ment.-Paris Messenger.

onr Vast Minern1 Resonrcsa.

A chart published by the geological
survey gives a summary of the min
eral products of the United States for
the past ten years. The aggregate
values have increased by more than
one-half in that period and the figures
for 1899 are greater than in any pre-
vious year, footing up the enormous
total of S976,000,000.
The value Of the metallic products
of the year is given at $527218,084,
and of the non-metallic at S447, 100, 1862.
The latter class includes, of course, the
coals-$16S,OO 100000 in bituminous, and
$SS,000,000 in Pennsylvania anthracite
-$64 100000 in petroleum, 100000
worth of natural gas and large value
in stone, brick, clay and cement, with
various other minerals.
Of the metals our pig iron is worth
almost as much as all others together,
the value of the product in 1899 being
given at S245 100000. Copper comes
next, with $1O4,00O,O00, and the
ST. 900 900 in gold is third. The mar
ket value of the silver produced in
1899 was about $33, 100000 and the lead
and zinc together were worth about as
much. Quicksilver, aluminium, anti
mony, nickel and platinum are the
other metals that figure in the table.

WHY huehnnan Never MarrIed.

Mr.. Buchanan, who was the first
bachelor elected to the presidency, was
65 years of age when elected. and had
deliberately given himself to a life of
celibacy In the days when he was a
young lawyer of Lancaster, Penn,
he had loved Miss Coleman, beauti-
full daughter of a citizen of that town.
They had been engaged to be married,
when one day he was surprised to re-
ceive from her request to release her
from her promise. According to Mr..
George Ticknor Curtis, the separation
originated in a misunderstanding on
the part Of the lady, who was unusual
ly sensitive, over some small matter
exaggerated by giddy and indiscreet
tongues. Soon after the estrange-
ment she was sent to Philadelphia,
and there died suddenly. Throughout
the rest Of his life, or for nearly half
century, Mr.. Buchanan is not known
to have revealed to anybody the cir
cumstances of this romantic tragedy.
He would only say that it had changed
his hopes and plans, and had led him
more deeply than ever into politics as
a distraction from his grief. In his
old age, long after he had retired per-
manently to private life, he called at
tention to a package containing, he
said, the papers and relics which
would explain the causes Of his youth
full sorrow, and which he preserved
evidently with the idea of revealing
them before his death. But when he
died, and his will was read, it was
found that he had directed that the
package should be burned without
being opened, and his injunction was
obeyed Ladies' Home journal.

It's mean to tell this joke, but it is
too good to keep. A popular society
matron has a daughter who has beau
tiul voice and is very pretty girl.
She has never taken singing lessons,
and some of the singers have been
consulted by her as regards their
terms. One of these instructors has
talked lot to the mother about Civ
ing her girl lessons. and assured her
that he was the fellow to develop that
voice until it would be a peach. "
He argued the matter over and over
again every time he saw the lady and
finally she said: 81 wish my daughter
to learn to sing, Professor High Notes,
but she is not we'll. She is suffering
constantly from a sort of indiges-
ton, and l don't think she feels well
enough to take the lessons"
pooh, pooh, my dear madam" re-
piled the professor. Nonsense! With
my teaching and ten cents worth of
cream of tartar she will be cured at
once"
And yet that obstinate mamma has
not struck the trade. Maybe the
daughter has objected to the ten
cents worth Of cream of tartar

Coast-survey work, Giving Complete 0e-
oEraphiosi Information.
The coast and geodetic survey has
for some time been preparing a map
Of the world for the war room at the
White House. II will cover one whole
side Of the room, which means dimen-
sions Of perhaps 30 feet by To- II con-
tains all the geographical information
Of a general nature that a president
Of the United States and his corps OF
telegraphers would seemingly need TO
know. It shows the location Of all the
ocean cables in the world, Of all the
coaling stations, Of all the docks where
ships may be repaired; and every foot
Of soil, including the smallest islands,
Is marked so as to indicate the sover-
eighty to which 1t is subject This is
done by the adoption Of a color for
each Of the great colonizing powers.
1t Is surprising to note the number
Of small islands that already belong
to the United States, through their
acquisition for one purpose or another
by American citizens. A notable fact
about the ocean cables is their abund-
ance in the Atlantic ocean, between
North and South America and Europe,
and all the seas about the eastern
hemisphere, but their conspicuous alb
senCe from the Pacific While cables
skirt the continents bordering on tho
Pacific, they do not strike out boldly
across that ocean. The contrast, as
revealed in this way, between the
eastern and western routes to the ORR
ent is most marked All our messages
from Manila come necessarily by the
old-world route. 1t is quite probable
that whatever is done in Pacific cables
by the United States, the Suez will re-
main the great route of communication
because of its opportunities for local
business. This also suggests that our
own Isthmian canal, as a commercial
route, will be across the direction Of
the worlds great commercial move
ments.
officers Of the coast survey say that
they have had a great deal of trouble
to bring this new map up to date in all
particulars. Aliases and geographical
text books are VIGOROUSLY behind the
times, so rapidly have changes been
made in recent years upon the map
of the world. The survey has accord
ingly gone to first-class sources in each
instance, through consular inquiries
and otherwise, and has made
this map, as nearly as human handi-
work will do it, absolutely accurate.
How long 1t will remain so is, on
course, another matter. Upon it the
Philippine islands and the country ad-
jacent appear twice, so as to show
completely the sunset and sunrise
routes.-New York Post.

WHEN The eva DOES NOT ssL



A New Law ~ Vision Discovered - Ita
Application.
Two series Of investigations Of far
reaching Importance 20 physiological
optics have been completed during the
past year In the psychological labora-
tory Of Wesleyan university at Middle
town, Conn, by Prof. Raymond Dodge
and students Of the university The
first series definitely established a new
law Of vision, almost revolutionary IN
It's consequences. II was proven that
the eyes, when in motion, can distln-
guish nothing In any complex field
OF vision over which they sweep. In
order to see any object at rest, the eye
must remain motionless, looking at
some definite part Of 1t for an appra-
cable length Of time II the eyes
move, they see nothing for about one
twentieth Of a second. This explains
the success of those sleight-of-hand
tricks in which rapid movements OF
the fingers are absolutely unseen,
while the eyes follow the larger move
ments Of the hand. It also explains
the necessity of looking at a relatively
fixed point in boxing, fencing, etc.
While the new law will necesitate
a reinvestlgation of many psychology
cal problems, 1t has an especially OBJ
vious bearing on the psychology OF
reading. -Four years ago, in collabora-
ton with Prof Benno Erdmann, then
Of the University Of Halle, Prussia,
Prof Dodge demonstrated that, con-
trary to the general impression, the
eyes do not move regularly over a
page as we read, but make a series VI
distinct pauses as they sweep along
each line of print. At that time evil
dence was found which seemed to show
that the eyes actually saw the words
only during these pauses. That evil
dence has recently been called in ques-
ton by eminent authorities. The new
experiments finally settle the question
beyond all doubt, and justify the psy-
/ cologically, as we'll as pedagogically,
important conclusion that in reading
the true unit of stimulation is not the
individual letter, but a more or less
extended group of letters.
People of middle age remember that
before they learned to read they had
to first learn their letters" then they
were taught to put the letters to-
gether to make words, and finally they
learned to read. Nowadays, children
learn to read words before they learn
the individual letters. According to
DR.. Dodge's experiments, this last
method has good psychological basis.
The second series was a quantitative
study Of the eye movements, with par
ticular reference to the rapidity Of
reading This series involved the in
vention of an unique method of meas
uring the movements of the eye and
the designing of a considerable amount
of new apparatus, by the aid of which
the first accurate measurements Of
the eye movement were affected. These
measurements not only show the
length, number and velocity Of the
movements of the eye during reading.
but they also furnish the first exact
data for study of the coordination
of the eyes and the muscular fatigue
of reading.-New York Post.

The continued experiments Of Prof
F. E. Nipher, of st. Louis, Mo-, with
positive photography" have produced
some very interesting results. He says
that the plates may be separately
wrapped in black paper at night, or in
dark room, and all the remaining
work can be done in the light. A
plate is taken from its wrapper in the
light and placed in the slide holder,
and an exposure-a long one-is
made. After exposure the plate is
taken out in the> light again, and
placed in the developing bath, and the
picture is developed, and may be fixed
in the light The result is a positive.
Fine pictures are thus obtained While
it is desirable to shield the plate from
the light as much as possible during
the changes, yet, Prof. Nipher says,
all of the operations may be carried
on without any darkroom conven-
fences that may not be secured even
in the open fields.
