FRANCE CELTIC OR LATIN?
Arsu ment of an Englishman That Ap.
pears to Admit of No Dis
putatiOn.

An Englishman, writing to the ed
itor of London Spectator, says:
''In connection with the recent visit
of the Italian feet to Toulon there
have been many references in the Eu-
ropean press to renewal of the en-
tente cordiale between two Latin ma
tions. 1t may be of some interest to
inquire in what sense the term Latin
can be correctly applied to the French
whom, almost in the same breath
many people are apt to describe as a
Celtic people. One thing surely is
certain, that in blood the French can
not be at the same time both Latin
and Celtic Yet the inconsistency
does not seem to strike people.
Il think that, although outside
Provence the French have little or no
Latin. e., Italian-blood in their
veins, the explanation of their being
described as a Latin race is to be
found in the fact that their language
and civilization are both Latin. It
seems no longer permissible to hold
that the French are mainly Celtic in
blood, the view being now generally
accepted that the bulk of the popula-
tion in France is of a pre-Celtic, and
probably of Iberian or Ligurian, stock.
And this view seems to hold good also
of Ireland and Wales

A Thermometer Eight Miles I'M

The exploration of the air by means
of balloons carrying. self-registering
instruments is pursued with much
vigor in Europe. On February there
were simultaneous ascents from
many points, extending from France
to Austria and Russia. One un-
manned balloon near Paris reached
an elevation of 41,656 feet, not much
short of eight miles. The tempera-
ture of the air at that height, as
shown by self-registering thermom-
eter, was 81 degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit. Another balloon near
Berlin found the same temperature
at an elevation 10000 feet less. These
experiments are expected to throw
much light on the laws of storms and
of atmospheric circulation.

Several years ago the inmates OF g
small. respectable dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon hewhite-
washed wall of one OF the rooms the
likeness of a human face, which faded
and returned again. The neighbors
came in to view the wonder. Other
faces appeared and vanished. Crowds
thronged the house and street, and ac.
counts Of the mystery were printed in
the daily papers.
It was to no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were
caused by moldy growths which came
and went with the dampness and that
the likeness to the human face was
imaginary. The house was pronounced
by the public to be haunted, and the
owner was unable to find tenant for
1t for years.

When They Learned He Was

At fashionable wedding reception
recently given in this city the atten-
tion of couple of girls was attract
ed to rather fne-looking man whose
prematurely gray hair and clear-cut
features combined in giving him dis
tinguished appearance. ''I see him
at nearly every large wedding I go
to-" said one. II wonder who he can
be. I've asked lots of people and no.

to be invited everywhere" ''Yes, I've

while he apparently goes to all the
Dig weddings, he doesn't seem to Know
anybody, or at least I've never seen
him talking to anybody. He's such
an interesting looking man, too. I'd
love to meet him. He looks like a man

A young man standing near, who
couldn't help overhearing this con
versation, laughed. perhaps [ can

SURPRISED HER HUSBAND,
Why the Young Wife Spent an After

Why the Young Wife Spent an After
noon In His Office.
Young Mrs. Smith, who lives down
On Prairie avenue, is very fond of her
husband and also very jealous Of him.
Mr.. Smith knows this and enjoys it i'm
mensely. Before the Smiths were mar
ried he used to know Minneapolis girl
who visited his sister in Chicago. Mrs.
Smith knew her very well too. The Min
neapolis girl came down not long ago,
and Mrs. Smith called on her. A few
days before the Minneapolis girl went
back she called on Mrs Smith, and
they had an enjoyable quarter of an
hour thinking things about one another
and talking about Mansfield.
When the Minneapolis girl rose to
go, she said sweetly "Oh, by the way.
want to see Charlie before I go back,
and think I may just drop into his
Office this afternoon. y
s'Oh, do; Charlie will be delighted,
returned Mrs. Smith The door had
hardly closed on the guest before Mrs.
Smith executed sort of war dance.
She dressed as fast as she could. put on
her bonnet and announced her intention
of going down to Mr. Smiths Office
Her grandmother demonstrated in vain
Mrs Smith is only 1S. and she is jeai-
GUS.
ST thought I'd spend the afternoon
with you, she announced to the aston
ished Charlie as she swept into the
Office.
"But, my dear = he began, when
Mrs. Smith ensconced herself at the
side Of his desk and intimated that the
most violent arguments would not
move her. She sat there all the after
noon. The Minneapolis girl enjoyed
herself shopping, and forgot to call in
to tell Charlie goodby. Mrs. Smith broke
down and confessed as soon as she got
home, and her foolish young husband
told her to go down next day and buy
/ herself the prettiest hat she could find

LIES OF NINE LIVES.
Fabulous Tales About Snakes That
Charm and Bank of England
Arrangements.

A lie that nothing seems able to
kill is the fable of the snake fascinat-
ing its prey. 1t is always bobbing.
up serenely. Travellers, otherwise
truthful, think it necessary to put it
in their books; noyelists use it in all
good faith, and it appears in the pa
pers once in every six months, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The whole yarn is a complete myth.
No snake has any power of fascina-
ton; not even a boa constructor.
Snakes lie in wait for their prey,
pounce on it and make a meal of it,
without any frills or etiquette, but
nothing can kill the story. A com
panion lie that generally goes with
1T is the one about the serpent lick
ing his prey all over before swallow
ing it to make the job easy. There
is not jot of truth in this statement
either; but since the notion was start
ed by a traveller with vivid ina gina
ton, it has reappeared regularly, and
endless books on zoology have copied
it as truth.
The great British bated-breath story
is that the enormous wealth in the
Bank of England storerooms is sunk
under water every night, SO as to be
secure against theft. A huge tank is
said to lie under sort of platform
that holds the heaped millions, and
at the touch of button the whole
affair lowers itself into the tank, and
IS covered by about nine feet of wa
ter. This is absolutely bosh; but moth
Ing seems able to kill the fable. It
resulted originally from the sugges-
tlon of a mad inventor Crank a long
time ago, when ideas for the securi-
" OF Brltain's wealth were being dis
cussed. The fact is, the whole bank
building is built 'thief-proof,' and all
night body of soldiers patrol the pas
sages and corridors. But the sub
merged-gold idea is still in the best of
health

SAW A DEViLFiSH LEAP.


I'm Experience Which the Spectator
Does Not Wish to Renew.
n'hen a youngster l was homeward
oound from, Santa Anna with a cargo
Of mahogany, and when off Cape Cam
peche was one calm afternoon leaning
over the tafrail, looking down into the
blue profound, on the watch for fish,
writes a world wide traveller. A gloomy
shade came over the bright water, and
up rose fearsome monster, some IS
feet across and in general outline more
like a skate or ray than anything else,
all except the head.
There, what appeared to be two curl
ing horns, about three feet apart rose
one on each side of the most horrible
pair of eyes imaginable. A sharks eyes
as he turns sideways under your yes
sells counter and looks up to see if any
one is coming, are ghastly, green and
cruel; but this things eyes were all
this and much more. l felt that the
book Of Revelation was incomplete
without him, and his gaze haunts me
yet.
Although quite sick and giddy at the
sight Of such bogy, could not move
until the awful thing, suddenly waving
what seemed like mighty wings, soar
ed up out of the water soundlessly to a
height of about six feet, falling again
with a thunderous splash that might
have been heard for miles must have
tainted with fright, for the next thing
was conscious of was awakening un-
der the rough doctoring of my ship
mates.
Since then have never seen one leap
upward in the daytime. At night.
when there is no wind, the sonorous
spash is constantly to be heard, al
though why they make that batlike leap
out of their proper elemenr is not easy
to understand. 1t does not seem possi-
BILE to believe such awe inspiring hor-
rors capable of playing gamholing.-

One of the Cases Where DishwasIs1
ing Produced Poet.
Colonel Hay was when a boy regu-
lar attendant of the Presby Sun
day school at Warsaw, Ills
The Sunday school lessons partly con-
sisted Of committing to memory Bible
verses, and to attain supremacy in this
created quite rivalry among the schol-
ars. John Hay was sure to come out
ahead from two to five answers some
times more, causing those Of his com
rades who were always behind him to
regard him with envy.
Consequently when some of those boys
heard that John had to wash dishes and
do the churning for his mother and.
more than all, that he wore an apron
while at these duties his jealous COM
| rades fairly crowed
One morning it was agreed by his
comrades to get him out of doors whils
he had his apron on and humiliate him
by having two or three girls whom he
rather liked ask him questions in re-
gard to his housework
Young Hay came out to where the
boys were and answered the questions
by saying that he washed dishes as hif
mother taught him. and then, with
twinkling eyes. he gave the dishpan
which he had with him tremendous
fling, contents and all drenching who
ever happened to be near enough, and,
laughing loudly, ran into the kitchen
Hay and his big apron were never mo-
Tested after that. Christian Endeavo1
