officer in the British army. He finds
that when walking on the level. uphill,

by adapting to each case the length OF

The great dust-cloud Of the Krakatoa

a small scale by an explosion Of $40
pounds OF blasting gelatlne at Perran-

To show what Is meant, DR.. Arthur
Maude states that, after four effective
vaccinations at intervals of seven TO
nine years, In 1899, he revaccinated
himself four times at intervals OF a

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The prevalent idea that tropical twi-
light Is very brief-not more than 10
or 90 minutes--is corrected by Mr.. y.
]. Bailey, who states that In general
the light does not fade away until the
sun has sunk about 10 degrees below
the horizon. The time varies With the
latitude, and the north pole has about
six months OF daylight, followed by
nearly two months OF decreasing twi-
light followed in turn by more than
two months Of night. In summer,
places beyond 50 degree Of latitude
have twilight from sunset to sunrise.
In the temperate zones the duration
is from an hour and a half to two
hours, and even In the tropics where
the suns descent Is vertical. more than
an hour Is necessary for reaching the
point stated. Actual observation shows
that tropical twilight is never less than
an hour, usually much longer. AT
Areguipa. Peru, whose height OF 5000
feet and clear atmosphere favor very
short twilight, the light Of the sky
cast a faint shadow 70 minutes after
sunset.

Exclusive Greenland.

Greenland, with it's icy mountains,
is not only COOL but very exclusive.
for it does not invite visitors, and it
even makes it inconvenient for tour
lists to land on the little bit of occa
sionally green land that surrounds Its
great heart of perpetual ice. PERMITS

ern colony.
Denmark is indeed very careful and
conservative in the management of
Greenland affairs. The trade there is
monopolized by the state. and only
government vessels are welcomed to
Greenland waters. This, says Den
mark, is to protect the Greenlander
from INSCRIPTIONS merchants. And 10
make sure of the peoples welfare the
state fixes both the price they shall
pay for food and the price they shall
sell at.
The quantity sold is also regulated,
so that the natives will not leave
themselves short of food or clothing.
In fact, the Greenlander is under
strict guardianship and is allowed 10
buy no spurious liquors.
The trade between Greenland and
the mother country is, as a rule, car
ried on by nine vessels belonging to
the Greenland Company, and under
government direction.

Breaking the Ice.

The youthful hope of the family,
aged eight, ran away from home di
rectly after luncheon. At nightfall he
was found under a hedge, fast asleep
and brought home by a neighbor.
The father and mother were at din.
ner when the prodigal returned; but
in order to more effectually punish
him quite ignored him during the en-
tire progress of the meal. The little
one ate his dinner in uneasy silence
eying his parents furtively from time
to time Dinner over, the mother car
ried the dishes to the kitchen and pro-
ceeded to wash them.
The child, who had remained silent
since his return, saw he must break
the ice. and cast about in his mind for
a way that should al once be effectual
and carry with it a proper rebuke TO
his unfeeling parents.
The cat purring in front of the
kitchen stove gave him an idea, and in
the voice and manner of one who has
just returned from a journey of many
years and many lands, he sighed loud
ly and said in a reminiscent tone
We'll. ! see you have the same old
cat. STRAY Stories.

Senator TiIIman as a Speaker.

An observer who has just returned
from visit to Washington says that
one must have kaleidoscope pictures of
Senator Tillman in action in order
to appreciate one of his speeches. His
facial expression and gestures would
help wonderfully. Sometimes he will
stop suddenly as though at loss for
word. Then the exact expression
comes with explosive force and it al
most SENS as though he had it all the
time and only waited for a moment of
silence to triumphantly utter it. Some
of his sentences are curiously pictur-
esque.

distance from her home to the school
building is two and a half miles, and
this she walked daily to and from her

The Drought's Afterma tn.

A sad reminder of the restitution
wrought by last years drought in GER
tain portions of Missouri was afforded
in the arraignment before the federal
commissioner at Jefferson City the
other day of a dozen or more citizens
of Camden county on the charge of
cutting and selling timber on govern
ment lands. The men did not deny
that they had committed the act
charged and they were held in the
sum of 5000 each on their own recog-
nizance to await the action of the
grand jury. One of them explained
that the timber was cut last summer
and fall, after the failure of the crops
had left them absolutely destitute and
starvation was staring them in the
face. They had raised nothing and
they had no means of support, SO they
cut some timber and made ties and
sold them. If the government wanted
to punish them for that offense, he
said, they would not complain.

TWO RELICS OF GREAT INTEREST
chair of Penn and Rock Which
Washington stood.


The Site and Relic Society of Ger
mantown is rejoicing over the gin it
received last week of a chair and
rock. The chair, which is over 200
years old, belonged to William Penn,
and the rock, which is much older
than the chair, is the one on which
George Washington stood while he
directed the battle of Germantown.
Two maiden ladies were the donors
of these rencs, two sisters, whose old
and picturesque house is crowded
from drawing-room to attic with
other relics no less interesting and
rare. Where the sisters live is not
to be told. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, for they are daily worried by
strangers as ii is, and if the fame of
their really invaluable collection were
to be any further spread abroad--if
the brass knocker of their door were
to be struck oftener than it is by
Sightseers-the veXation of these Ia
dies would be inconceivably great.
