Eskimo Masks.

The Eskimo are the greatest Of oil
mask makers. During their religious
cercmoninls they impersonate their own
various gods, wearing masks for the
purpose, but the most curious thing Is
that they wear little masks on their
fingers as well as big ones to cover
their faces. These finger masks, the
like Of which are unknown anywhere
else In the world, usually represent the
sun. They are OF wood, carved with
laughing or weeping face, and the rays
or the sun are represented by white
hair from the belly OF the wild rein
deer set around rs n fringe The sun Is
the most important Of the Eskimos' d.
whites. and the principal object Of the
winter ceremonial Is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.

An Old Hunters Advice,

Here is the advice an old hunter
gives to those who may come in IN.
expected contact with bad animals;
"1f you are cornercd by a snake
stand motionlcss and he will never
bite.
IF vicious dog attacks you show
him knife or some similar instru.
ment, and he will keep out of reach.
A dog can never learn the deadiiness
OF revolver or gun, but unless hs
has the rabies he knows how TO "a
spect knife.
III swarm Of wild bees attacks you
stand motionlcss and let out all your
breath. Then only few Of the swarm
will sting"
This advice should be reversed M
sea. A man who is swimming in shark
infested waters is safe as long as he
kicks about and makes Il great deal Of
noise. The shark Is, too timid to m.
proach anything that looks rs II II
meant to fight.
What would You do I'm case You
were corncrcd by cinnamon beay?'
some one asked the old hunter.
Say my prayers" he answered Ia
conically.

The Sun Makes Room, Dn.,r

There Is more dust in the ploces H.
iuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady.
III you look along beam of light "a
II streams through window or n chinlS
IN the door, you will see innumerobIo
dust particles dancing about in the
hght. You will be told by most per-
sons that there IS just rs much dust I'm
the nonilluminated parts of the room
rs In the more favored spaces, but YOU
cannot see the particles because tho
rays do not fall directly upon them.
You will think that this is eminently
plausible, but 1t is not the case.
Ihe sun falling upon the air creates
irregular currents, and these currents
stlr up the dust and collect 1t in law
ers along the line Of light; hence there
Is more dust where the sun shines than
elsewhere.
curious experience in museum
gave proof Of this. 1t was noticed that
tnerc was always more dust OH the
glass cases exposed to the sunbcams
than on those which were never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb. and
this led to an inquiry, with the above
result.
1t will generally be found that If
takes longer to clean the sunny parts
or large room than it does to wine
up the dust particles from the shady
hooks.
