Russian Ballooning.

Ballooning under any conditions is
exceedingly pcrilous, but the acronaut
in Russia would appear to be exposed
to danger OF sudden death from an un-
usual quarter. Recently a large mill
tary balloon LETT the fortress OF OsO-
vctre, on the western frontier OF Rus
sia, and after a voyage OF four hundred
and fifty miles descended in the gov
ernment OF Smolensk. That journey
lasted nineteen and one-half hours.
Passing over Nitcbsk the aeronauts
came near to the earth to obtain some
photographs OF the town. when two
bullets whistled close by the car. To
escape this danger rapid ascent was
made, but, later on, coming down to
a lower level, fifteen or twenty bullets
flew by them in unpleasant proximity.
The descent accomplished, inquiries
were set on foot. when it was ascer-
tanned that the balloon had been repeat
edly fired at by the peasants and inhab-
itants OF the districts passed over; by
some because it was believed to be an
evil spirit, by Others because it was
taken for flying fish, and by others
again because it was regarded as har-
bingcr OF approaching misfortune.

Physical Changes in r1an.

Recent researches have furnished
some startling facts regarding changes
which man is at present undergoing
physically. 1t is believed that man
was formerly endowed with more teeth
than he now possesses. Abundant cvi-
dence exists that ages and ages ago
human teeth were used as weapons OF
defence. The practise OF eating our
food cooked and the dsuse OF teeth as
weapons are said to be responsible ior
the degeneration that is going on. In
ancient times short-sighted soldier or
hunter was almost an impossibiity; to-
day whole nation is afflicted with de-
fectivc vision. 1t is almost certain that
man once possessed third eye, by
means of which he was enabled to see
above his head. The human eyes for
merly regarded the world from the two
sides OF the head. They are now grad
ually shifting 10 more forward posi-
ton. In the dim past the car flap was
OF "rcat service in ascertaining the di-
rection of sounds. and operated largely
in the play Of the features. But the
muscles of the ear have fallen into dis
use, for the fear OF surprise by enc
mics no longer exists. Again, our
sense OF smell is noticeably inferior to
that OF savages. That it is still de-
creasing is evidenced by observations
OF the oliactory organ.

romance would be hatched out in

vain.

Mr.. Norwood crossed the state line to
shake hands with his unknown cor

He found her good-looking, and
also he found that her father was we'll

"He returned home. They continued

Hother-of-Pearl.

The centre OF the mother-of-pearl in
dustry is Singapore, says Boston Tran
script. The shell oyster is six TO ten
inches long, the larger ones weighing
as much as ten pounds. 1t is found on
hard bottom channels between islands,
where the current is strong. In gath
ering it a diver takes with him a bag
OF coir rope one-fourth of an inch in
diameter, made in large meshes, which,
while suited for holding the shell, does
not impede his travelling along the
bottom. The apparatus for diving has
not been introduced in the Philippines,
though Manila shell brings the high
price OF dollar pound.
