Where Whistling Is Sin.

The Arabs call whistling the DEVILS
music" and they consider it the most
unlucky sound that can proceed from
human lips. An old proverb of theirs
is to the effect that after whistling,
the mouth is not purified for forty
days.
In many other parts of the world a
similar idea prevails, in the Tonga is
lands, for instance, where whistling is
"tabu," and in Iceland, where the
peasants strongly object to it, believ-
ing it to be violation of the divine
law. Whistling is quite unknown
among the descendants of the Peru
Wan Incas.
The Cornish miners are very super
stitious, and they lay ban on whist
ling while underground. The old
hands think it a fertile source of evil,
and the young hands get many a
scat" on the head to bring them to
the same opinion.

AS TO THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Biblical Assurance That There VIII BE
Room for Years to Come.

Biblical Assurance That There VIII BE
Room for Years to Come.
Taking a verse from Revelation as
the basis of computation, some indus
trious and probably uneasy fellow has
again been figuring on the dimensions
of heaven. The text is in XIV, 81, and
reads as follows: And he measured
the city with the reed, 1900 furfongs
The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal" He concludes
that this represents space of 469, 7S3,-
0SS ,000, 600, 900, 900 cubic feet The en-
terprising statistician sets aside one
half of this space for the throne and
the court of heaven, and one-half of
the balance for streets, which would
leave a remainder of 124, 19S. 272 ,OOO,-
900 900, 900 cubic feet
He then proceeds to divide this by
4,O96, the number of cubical feet in a
room 16 feet square. and this process
gives him 80, 321, S43, $50 ,O0O, 900 rooms
of the size indicated. He then proceeds
upon the hypothesis that the world
now contains. always has contained.
and will always contain, 900, 100000 in
habitants, and that a generation lasts
for SO 1-3 years, which gives a total
number of inhabitants every century of
2.297 100000 He assumes that the
world viii stand 1000 centuries or
100000 years, which would give to-
tai of 100000, 100000 inhabitants for
this period of time.
He then reaches the reassuring con-
clusion that if 100 worlds of the same
size aud duration, and containing the
same number of inhabitants, should re-
deem all the inhabitants, there would
be more than 100 rooms of the size
indicated for each person. Men have
not thought so much about the size of
heaven. They have probably always
felt that there would be ample room
for those who would be able to get
there. If lack of room were possible,
in the divine order of things, it would
probably be at the other place, judg-
ing from the pronouncements that are
made from time to time.
Room has never been a matter of
serious consideration with men who
have paused long enough in the whirl
of events to mediate on the blessings
which are to follow a life of righteous
ness. The main question, and the one
in which all men are most concerned,

Classifying Warshins.

After many futile efforts to devise a
method of classifying warships by nu-
merical figures or value an approach to
success has been made. The strong
point in favor Of the system proposed
is that the values assigned to a con-
siderable number of vessels under the
rule laid down correspond almost ex-
actly with the values given by the
foremost naval experts. The new
method is difficult of nontechnical ex-
PLANTATION, but some of the results es-
tablished by it are easily understood
The highest figure of merit is that of
the New Jersey class, with a figure of
116. Next come the British King Ed
ward and the Italian Benedetto Briu
with 1O4, the French Republique with
"a and the Russian Prince Potemkine
with 9S The second-class battleships
of all powers cut very poor figure
and stand, as a rule, below the mod.
ern armored cruisers.

Why is the snow white is a question
frequently asked. Because black snow
would be dangerous, so would red or
yellow These are 'warming-up col
ors," and they change the suns rays
to heat. Such snow would soon melt
again and prove a very poor protec-
ton. But white snow throws back the
sunlight in just the form in which it
receives it, and thus the snow can be
long on the ground. Throw dirt on
the snow, and its dark color quickly
makes it eat its way in whenever the
sun shines on it. After a snowstorm,
once let the horses feet mingle the
dirt of the road with the snow and
sleighing will soon be over.-Prof S.
c. Schumacher in Ladies' Home Jour
nal.

Bugs Deyour a Stone Church.

From Middletown, Ohio comes the
story of the worst bug that has yet
been known to crawl over the page of
history. 1t is a bug that is eating up
a large stone church bodily AS told
by a Middletown correspondent OF a
Western newspaper, the bugs have al
most ruined the 100000 First Presby-
terrain church there. The walls are
made unsightly by the many holes
bored by the insects, and especially
around the entrance, where the sun
shines all day. there are myriad holes,
many of which are large enough to
insert a lead pencil in. The stone
about the holes crumbles readily to
dust and the work of destruction seems
almost complete.
