Our Ignorance of Earth.

It is beginning to strike the thought
full that we know very little of the APP
pearance Of the earth. A mine that
descends a quarter of mile under
ground is, relatively speaking. scarce
ly more than the impression made by
ferrule of a walking stick on a wet
road The great heart of the globe it
self remains untouched and unknown,
Is it solid or is it liquid? But more
humbling is the reflection that until
we learn to fly we shall have mo true
conception of the picture of the earth.
Our vision is lateral. We are looking
at the earth as though, to see our
selves, we held mirror with it's end
against our nose, and looked along it.
We think we know how tree looks,
how a mountain looks, even how man
looks; but we do not. We only know
as much of their appearance as fly
knows of the picture it crawls upon.
To see a picture properly one must
stand away from it, and until we get
off the earth, either by flying machines
or ba1Ions, we shall have no faithful
idea of how our planet really looks.
Universal flying would surely breed
an entirely new school of art.-London

sBELGIANs HONOR MAY DAY.
Tbe Subjects of King Leopold Cele-
brate the Arrival of the Month
of Flowers Each Year.

The month of May is the most
highly honored of the whole year by
1the Belgians. It is known as the yir-
gins month and consecrated to the
Virgin Mary. In the province of
Ldege young maidens have a quaint
way of predictingi their love affairs
this month. A group of girls arrange
TO meet at sunrise and start to walk
through the fields until they come
to a hedge, fquftes unobserved from
the highway, where they generally
choose honeysuckle bush beneath
the protecting branches of which to
perform their mystic operations
Each maiden selects three blades
of dew-laden grass, the tops of which
she cuts to equal, lengths, and to
each of which she attaches a colored
silken thread. Black represents a
bachelor, red an unknown lover and
green the secret desires of the maid
ems heart. Ten days afterward they
return to the same spot where they
left the blades growing, and that
blade of the three chosen which has
surpassed the others in height re-
veals the lover the maiden is destined

PLUCK OF KING EDWARD.
'sHas BraveIy Endured,MuchP Physical
augssring In Order to Please
His People.

ssOf all the soldiers the king has
decorated within the last three years
/ of the war for bravery in the face
of the enemy none deserves the
kSross for Valor more than himself,
who grim1y and silently faced dis
ease and death, unarmed and without
ia comrade,'' says Richard Harding
Davis, in Golfers Weekly.
ssFor now that the whole dramatic,
Ipitifu1 story is out, England learns
now that it is too late-of the days
of gnawing pain when her king
forced himself to smile and bow at
scourt, to watch horse race, to re-
view a regiment, to. drive through
zLondon with an, assured and cheerful
lcountenance.4.iItS enots pleasant to
l,think of the torture of those days,
Sof the mentaFsanxietys as well as the
bodily tornnent, when the king kept
+ on his feet against the protests of
his physicians, when his endurance
ssvas tested by hours of unceasing
pain-pain so great that it is not de-
kcent to disclose it. Nor is it pleas
xs,ant to remember that last drive
through the park to Buckingham pal
ace, when the people for some reason
: failed to cheer him heartily, while

Trial Court at Ascot.

Not only the horses but the pow.
ers of the law are swift at Ascot,
for the course has a. special tribunal
for the punishment of evil-doers.
No sooner is the pickpocket, welsh
er or ticket-snatcher arrested than
he is standing before Sir Albert de
Rutzen in a little room in .the royal
stand, where the evidence is heard
and the verdict and sentence pro-
nounced before the offender fully
realizes that he is caught. Nowhere
else does punishment SO swiftly fol-
low crime as at his court. This race
course tribunal arose curious1y in
the eighteenth century from an as
sault upon a royal parsonage. In
his Indignation at the impossibility
of instant punishment of the assail-
ant he ordered that in future a
magistrate should always attend the
royal race meeting. This has ever
since been done. The chief magis-
trate of Bow street was constituted
ex-oficio j. P. of the county of
Berks in order to enable him to hold
this court at Ascot.-London Chron-
icle.

THE YOUNGEST PEERLESS.
Lady Refty BIigh, Baroness of Cliff
ton, Three Years Old, Has -
Coronation Robe.

The youngest peerless of Great
Britain who has the right to attend
fthe coronation of King Edward is
Lady Betty" Bligh, now Baroness
Clifton, daughter ofethe late seventh
earl of Darnley andeJemima, countess
of Darnley. Although the baby coun-
tess can be barely three years old,
having been born in 1900, the same
year in which her father died, she is
having. a coronation robe made for
her onythe lines of those of the other
progresses, and, owing to her extreme
youth, she will without doubt be an
object of much interest and attrac-
ton IN the coronation show atsWest-
minister. The father of Lady Betty
WAS the sixteenth Baron Clifton and
seventh tearl offDarn1ey. He married
Miss JeInima Blackwood, daughter of
the late Francis J. T.. Blackwood,
niece tof the present baronet of the
names and relative of the duke of
Manchester The tiny countess
comes of a distinguished lineage
She is seventeenth in succession from
the first Baron Clifton. In the his
tory of the family the right of sue
cession has fallen to the women OF
the house, about as many times as to
she men.

Hearing with the Legs.

One of the strangest and most I'M
expected of the uses to which we
could imagine a leg as being put is
that of an organ of hearing. Yet such
seems totbe one at least of the func-
tionss of the fore1egs in the cricket.
On the outer side of the tibia small
oval space may be seen, in which the
strong armature which covers the rest
of the body is reduced to thin and
membranous condition, making thus
q sort of window or drumhead. Com
munlcating with this, inside the leg,
are the ends of the nerves, and it can
hardly be doubted, therefore, that the
whole apparatus constitutes an audi
tory organ.--Knowisdges

About the year 1874 found me try

Laramie City, but ! concluded 10 wait
until the government had given all a
right TO 20 in. While at Laramie, a
man came from Montana With large
herd OF horses. His name was Doc
Stone. He was boosting about having
horses that no one could stick on their
backs. Mr.. Haley, cattle rancher,
told him that he had a man VINO would
be on the horses back when the horse
was dead. As they were both lin
liquor, they put up five hundred dol
lars a piece. Haley sent out for his
niger sam. As the old colored man
came 10. Haley said: sam. have Il

blind was put on Linn, and the Old
fellow striped close, with only overalls
and under shirt on. He had drawn
his boots over his oyeraliS, and when
all was ready, climbed right on that
horse and took the whole crowd by
surprise. He had great spurs, and
locked them together under the horses
neck, as he reached over and grabbed
the horses tail. He then said: Cut
the rope, massa." If ever horse was
scared, that poor brute was, and i: for
got all about bucking, but started to
run. Over 80 hOrsemen were after
horse and rider, who were going like
the wind, over cuts and bitches.
through helds and up on the table land
and down again in the gulch, and so
fast that no one could follow or keep
up, and at last disappeared over bank
into the Laramie river. | think every
one who was able to walk or ride, went
to see what had become OF that Niger
and Doc Stones bad horse. When
they found him he was right or top of
the dead horse in the river, and as
Haley rode down, the Niger looked
up and said: II am right here, Mr..
Haley, right here" And 50 he was.
As the horse jumped over the bank,
they fell in a water hole, and the cum
ming old man took advantage of the
situation and drowned his steed.
When Stone came up and saw he had
lost his bet he told old Sam to come up
to his herd aud pick himself out a
horse, and Haley took the money he
had won and gave it to the Niger with
the remark: sam, if you had have
failed, | would have killed YOU "All
right, Massa Haley, all right; l stayed
right there, didn't l." replied the
Niger. Z. Is. ).

y Deming man borrowed four hens
from Mimbres farmer upon the claim
that he wanted them for a season to
hatch out some sittinGs Of eggs. After
he brought them to his home he pro-
ceeded to break them of the sitting
habit and get them to laying eggs for
him regularly. For the first week or
two he fed them regularly until they
stayed about his yard to lay and roost;
but they foraged upon his neigh bors
ground so that their feed cost the man
who borrowed them practically moth
ing. During the six weeks the farmer
kept them they laid him 81 eggs,
which he sold. With the cash obtain
cd he went to the hens owner and
quickly made a bargain by which the
title to the fowls was transferred.
The question now is, was the original
owner well paid for his henS?-Dem-

The Liberal has received Il bulletin
from the United States geological sur
vcy giving some notes ON the prOduc-
tiOn of lithium, monazite, uranium and
vanadium in the United States during
the year 1901. From these notes it is
learned that but two lithium minerals
have been found, lepidolite and spodu.
meme, these minerals sold at the aver
age price Of 324.GS per ton. 1t is ship
ped to Germany and comes back in the
shape of lithia tablets, worth from e
to 81 per pound. Monazhe is essential
ly an anhydrous phosphate Of cerium,
lLnthauum, and didymium, and is
worth from six to seven cents per
pound. 1t is used in medicines and in
making the Wclsbach gas mantle.
Uranium and vandium are used in
making steel, adding greatly to the
tensile strength and tuughness. 1t is
found at Lake Valley, in Sierra county,
and i'm the Mimbrcs mines near George
town. 1t for sells about 1920 a ton, and
uranium oxide has sold for $l.20 q
pound. 1t will be easily seen that if
prospectors would look out for some of
these rare minerals they might often
reap rewards far larger than are the
returns from many of the mines of the
commOnor metals. There arc prob
ably, many other valuable minerals in
this county that the average prospec-
tor never has looked for, and which, if
found, would give very large re-
