A Geological FalIacy,

Probably the most wild and unjusti-
fable of all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources is that which
holds to the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sure to find
something of value, no matter at what
point the work of boring is commence
ed. There are numerous wise persons
in every community, estimable, influ-
entail and in the highest degree pub
lie spirited, who are convinced that
the question, for example, of finding
coal in their special locality is simply
a matter of the depth to which the ex-
plorations are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive COM
munity, and every such community
contains persons, in other respects in
telligent, who are ready to stake their
own fortune and that of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the sur.
face, and that their sources can be
tapped with the drill. providing only
there is sufficient capital to keep up
the process of drilling long enough.

Where a Bishop NAV Cycle

DR.. Burton, the newly consecrate6
Bishop Of Clifton, is an enthusiastic
cyclist. On receiving from Cardinal
Vaughan the intimation that he had
been chosen by the Pope to fill the
vacant see Of Clifton, fears would
seem to have arisen in the mind Of
the bishop-elect that his promotion
might possibly put an END to his ped
alling peregrinations. DR.. Burton. ac-
cordingly. took the cardinal into his
confidence, and was made happy by
the assurance that. though the cardi-
nal thought that perhaps it would be
slightly undignified to cycle about the
slums and streets of Bristol, he saw
no objection to his careering about the
downs of Clifton London Chronicle

French Scientist Tells why They Are
Needed by Women.
In an article on "Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the Re
vue Scientifique by NJ Frantz Gle
nard, the author contcoyerts popular
ideas on the subject Of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
81. The corset has its raison d'etre
from the esthetic point of view.
2. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled in women's clothing, even
in the corset.
'3. abe corset may be of use in GER.
tain maladies."
These statements. which he &C.
knowledges are somewhat audacious
on the part of a hygienist, he at.
tempts to justify in the course of his
article. AS to the first, he remarks
that the adoption of clothing by man
is the result neither OF modesty nor of
a desire to protest the body against
the weather; it is a result, he asserts,
wholly of a desire for adornment-
the same that leads the savage to tat
too himself. Mems costume has tend
ed more and more to straight lines,
signifying action; women's to curved
lines, signifying, according to the au-
thor, that they are made to please"
"Rigidity and strength for man." he
says, "suppleness and fascination for
woman" The corset, then, is an at
tempt to preserve and accentuate the
curved outline of the waist.

HOW coNvIcTs PASS THE TIME
Some Very Artistic Work Done In

FFiSOnS OF America.
1t is at once interesting and pathet-

which, with tedious pains. the pris
oners have made to while the time

with lambrequin, deliberately fringed,
the fine knots and delicate patterns
of the threads comparing with the
work of the French lace makers. The
lambrequin is OF an odd blue, and
the visitor is told that it is made OF
an old pair Of prison trousers. On a
little gilt bracket is a small stuffed
animal. The bracket, so delicately
turned, is of newspapers pasted to-
gether and Gilded, and the animal is
a rat, caught in a homemade trap,
stuffed with rags and pieces of chew
ing gum, colored with shoeblacking,
for its eyes. A wall is completely COW
cred with really artistic decoration
Of reeds, on which are perched at least
200 birds, each accurately colored and
drawn. There are also numberless
checkerboards and sets Of chessmen
that, in the delicacy of their inlay
work and in the intricacy of their
carving would do honor to the crafts
men of the Orient.

PARIS TAKES TO HORSE FLESH
over Two Hundred Shops where CHEAP
Meat Is Sold.


Meat Is Sold.
The taste for horsehesh in Paris,
which is demonstrated by the recent
banquet, does not date back many
years. 1t was under the second EN-
pire, during the expedition to Morocco,
that it came into the dietary of the
French soldier. The expeditionary col.
umn had nothing to live upon, so it
slew and ate the horses, and everyone
was agreeably surprised at the quality
Of the meat.
Emile Decroix, a veterinary surgeon
with the troops, resolved to profit by
the experience. Arrived in Paris, he
set about popularizing the horse as
food. He distributed meat gratuitous.
ly to the poor population. In his pro.
paganda he interviewed the project
and ministers and even had audience
of the emperor. He opened the first
hippophagous butchary, in the Place
d'Italie, in 1866. 1t was the siege of
Paris that caused the flesh of horses
to be regarded as a positive delicacy.
That was thirty-two years ago. How
has the notion progressed since? Paris
has now $50 shops where they sell the
meat; all are prospecting. Last year
10000 horses were slaughtered and
eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans,
have all taken to horse eating. The
meat is cheaper than beef. Whereas
one pays 8 francs the livre for good
fillet Of beef. it only costs a franc if
you take horse.
The animal that was eaten the other
day with such eclat had a singular
history. 1t won several steeplechases
at Auteuil and Bots Colonies. 1t was
an English mare and its name was
Nell Gwyn. In November, 1898, the
crowd on the course was very irritated
at the defeat OF the favorite in the
preceding race. 1t revenged itself by
throwing stonas. One of the stones
struck the left eye of Nell Gwyn and
ruined the sight. Nevertheless, the
noble beast won the race.-Pau Mall
Gazette.

Paris' Population.

The population of Paris has grown
during the last five years by more than
10000 inhabitants. All the arrondis-

an increase, the lead being taken by

an increase of pass. AS in London,
it is the central part Of Paris that
shows a decrease of residents, the
Halles reimbursement losing 1900
and the second ACCOMPLISHMENT 1852.
