A PerDet1nI Sacred Fire.

In the peninsula of Abeheron, for
merly belonging to Persia, but now
part of Russia, there is a perpetual or,
rather, what the natives call an eternal
sacred fire which is known to have
been burning continually for more than
1000 years. 1t rises from an irregular
orifice of about twelve feet in depth
and 100 feet square. The flames. which
are constant, rise to a height of from
six to eight feet, unaccompanied by
smoke or disagreeable smell, waving
back and forth with the wind like a
field of golden grain.

ton and the door was cautiously
pushed open.
A sudden panic seized them. They
beat a hasty retreat; but, arriving at
what they considered a safe distance,
they turned and looked through the
now open door.
What did they see?
Staggering across the floor was lit
tie man, killed and bearing a heavy
load on his back That was all. There
was no one casting blocks into the
area. There was no one like this little
man in or about the castle, and though
his appearance had nothing either
frightful or mysterious about it the
sight Of him seized the children with
unwonted terror They turned about
and fed screaming away.
Years later a young lady in the best
of health sleeping in a bedroom close
to the turret chamber was awakened
by a call from her sister, also a
healthy girl, who was sleeping in the
adjoining room.
ibid you not see herr" said the sis
ter who called. "She went into your
passa ge."
''No-Who?"
"a dark woman" was the answer.

to move her arm as though reckoning.

No. nothing had been seen or heard.
An affair no less strange than the one
lust recorded occurred not long since
in one of the royal palaces near Lon
don.
Now, one day not long ago woman
in the service of lady staying at the
palace came to her mistress with
curious tale. She had seen, she said,
when quite casually entering her mis-
tress' room, most extraordinarily
dressed person. AT first she thought
of inquiring what the intruder was do
ing in another persons room, but then,
thinking she might be some one who
had a right to be there, she retired.
"What was she likeF"
"Oh, such an odd looking person" re-
piled the maid, land so quantity

with a long scarf falling from the top
Of it,
Nothing more was said to the maid.
But the explanation of her story is
strange one, for in another part of the
palace there is the picture Of the 'Odd
looking person. she saw in her mis-
tress' room, and the picture represents
the nurse of King Edward VI.

1t was on Sunday morning and the
family had all gone to church with the
exception of the children. They were
playing quietly together when a sound

their attention.

they were practically alone in the
house-started off on a tour of investi-
cation. Arriving at the turret cham

were not disposed to stake their lives
against the honor of having scaled a
peak stretching loftily above the snow
line. This was the old time opinion Of
mountain climbing.
Out of this vast increase in the num-
Der of Alpine mountain climbers has
grown a large number of accidents, and
most of them can be attributed directly
to the carelessness with which tourists
have come to regard perilOus mountain
eering. Up to a short time ago au-
thentic statistics bearing upon the
number of accidents and the results
We're hard, next to impossible, to OBJ
tain, for the reason that they were ex-
aggerated in some quarters and dimin-
ished in others. But a Swiss doctor
who is a member of the Alpine club
has taken this matter in hand and pre-
SCENTS some interesting facts on the gen.
eral subject of mountain climbing and
its effects. His report covers the ten
years between 1890 and 1901 and en-
bodies exceedingly interesting figures
Particularly worthy of notice are the
figures which give the nationality of
those who lost their lives. In all they
numbered 305, of whom 21S were tour
lists, 20 guides and II porters. The ma
jority, 100 in fact, were Germans, in
Guiding Austrians; 4S were Swiss, %
Italians, IS English or Americans, ID
French and the remainder of different
nationalities. 1t Is surprising that so
few We're French, but then Alpine
climbing is scarcely the sort of sport or
recreation likely TO commend itself to
the Frenchman, and as for the small
number of English and Americans,
who form such a large proportion Of
the visitors at the Alpine resorts and
are such regular climbers, this may be
explained by the fact that, taking them
as a whole, they are careful though
courageous in what they do, invariably
engage a good guide if they have any
doubt of their own knowledge of the
way and, further, make their visits at
the time of the year most favorable for
mountaineering.
Another point of interest made clear
by these statistics is that ascents to
high points, made both with and with
out guides, slowly but surely become
more and more frequent during the
decade in question.
Accidents which mar the sport of
mountain climbing are attributed to
various causes, one of the commonest
of which is neglect to employ the serv-
ices of trustworthy guide or the de-
sire to make the ascent unaccompanied
by any one; the desire to ascend a
mountain or to some particular point
which few, If any, people have hitherto
succeeded in scaling; the traversing of
paths unknown to the climber, and the
attempted making of ascents in the
early spring or late autumn or winter
Then also there are foolhardy adven-
turousness, vanity, the spirit of emula-
ton, carelessness, want of experience
and even absent mindedness. Each
Of these shortcomings has its victims.
An English tourist, writing OF a ca
tastrophe which befel a party of
mountain climbers of which he was
one, gives a picturesque description of
one of the greatest dangers which con-
front Alpine mountaineers. The Eng
lishmen figuring In the accident were
named Brown and Garden and their
guides were named Knubel and I'm
boden. The writer says:

Natures Protection For the Ear.
The membrane lining the canal of the
ear contains a great number of little
glands which secrete a waxy substance
having an intensely bitter taste. The
purpose of this is to prevent the en-
trance of insects and to keep the ear
clean, as the layer of wax dries in
scales. which rapidly fall away thus
