The ~sIomohiki.,

The police Of Tokyo, Japan, have
established certain regulations for
wheelmen. Riders must not remove
both hands from the bars at once;
must not use low-dropped handle
bars; and must not indulge in trick
riding in the streets. No person I'M
der - is permitted to ride in the
streets, and the police may stop the
cyclists whenever they think neces-
sary. Lady cyclers are enjoined when
riding in public to "wear the .hakama'
or the 'momohiki,' or coverings of a
similar nature. The ''hakama'' is a
skirt, and 'momohilxi" is Japanese
for nationals" or 'sbloomers.' No
doubt, if s.momohild''-a graceful
word with just suggestion of flip
pancy about it-had been adopted by
us instead of nationals OF s'bloom-
ers," momohiki would now be the uni
yersal wear of cycling girls. Detroit

Much interest attaches to the recent
discovery at Combarelles, in the de-
partment Of Dordogne, France, of a
cave the rock walls of which are dec
grated with engraved figures, some of
which are rudely colored, representing
such animals as the horse, the COW, the
bison, the reindeer, the mammoth and
the wild goat. Most of these pictures.
which number more than 100, are COW
cred with stalagmitic deposit, par
tally or entirely concealing them. 1t
Is believed that they were made ID
paleolithic times, and that they furnish
evidence that the reindeer and the
mammoth lived in France contempora-
neously with the artists Of the cavern.

The Sabbath as a religious institu-
tion is far older than the Penta-
teuchal legislation. 1t, too, can be
traced back to a Babylonian proto-
type, not, however, as a day of rest
from labor, but as kind of atone
ment day, when by various rites and
by observing certain restricted reg
nlations the anger Of the gods could
be appeased. On this old institu-
tion the Hebrews ingrafted their re-
ligious ideas and produced the unique
institution of day observed as q
respite from the weeks toll, and
which, being an ''inauspicious" occa-
sion, q dies irae, is viewed as a ode

Recent observations on the gases of
the blood during balloon ascension
show: First, that the faculty OF Ak
ing oxygen possessed by the haemo-
goblin Of the blood is not diminished
as the atmospheric pressure dinin-
ishes, but, on the contrary, increased
tat least at the attitudes attained);
second, up to $500 meters the carbonic
acid gas contained in the blood does
not follow the law of solution Of
gases-on the other hand, it follows
the inverse of this law; third, the MI
trogen contained in the blood does fol-
low the law of solution, and escapes
from the blood in proportion as the
atmospheric pressure is lowered;
fourth, the total quantity of gas in the
blood increases with the altitude;
fifth, the quantity Of oxygen and Of
carbonic acid in the blood increases
with the altitude.-N Y. Sun.

There is still a prejudice against life
assurance among certain classes of re
igious people, on the ground that such
provision hetrays lack of trust in
Providence. Such assumption is the
basis of a blazing pamphlet which has
just reached us, in which the author
argues from three texts in the Sermon
on the Mount, that the principles of
life assurance "comes from the father

would prove the wickedness of all in

of their folly, even when those conse-

One hundred and seventy-two mem

approval of the compulsory adoption
Of the metric system of weights and
measures throughout Great Britain.
The Decimal association points out in
a circular that in the interests of trade
the reform should be made at once.
The metric system is already permits
sive and legal in Great Britain and in
the United States. Any manufacturer
or merchant who wishes to increase
his foreign trade is entirely at liberty
to make his goods with metric dimen-
sions and to invoice them in metric
measures. How trade is to be increased
by forcing him DIDO SO is mystery not
yet explained by the busy advocates of
the Decimal association.--N. Y. Sun.
