stranee EIectrie Lights.

During the remarkable magnetic
storm, accompanied by displays Of the
aurora bOrealis, on October 81 last, a
gentleman driving along a country road
at night, near Calgary, Canada, had
singular experience. He found himself
surrounded with great vertical shafts
Of light, which extended up into the sky,
meeting at the zenith in a perfect apse,
and glowing with beautiful colors, the
shafts being bright ruby-colored at the
top. but changing In hue as they de-
scended through purple and green to
gold at the bottom. Objects half mile
away were evidently beyond the shafts,
and indeed some Of these were only q
few yards distant, and seemed to chase
the observer as he drove on in HIS buggy.
The display lasted but few minutes.

mat Results in Disturbances.

ProE James ,. Kemp, q the chair oe
geology It Columbia university, had this
explanation 10 give Of the New England
earthquakes:
The earth tsnds to 90 more and more
slowly e Il rsVolVes. on account Of the
baekdrag Of the atmosphere, 50 Il tends
to become more and more nearly per-
feet sphere and less hattened at the
poles
also there Il q kind Of interior
shrinkage due 20 loss Of heat, and this
produces q shrinkage At the surface
which may produce the disturbances.
The original place Of the disturbance
was probably under the sea, and It COM
municated itself to the land"
A. W. Grabau, professor Of paleoa-
tology, said: Il do not believe that the
disturbance was Of volcanic origin.
There have been none such IN this part
OF the world for fair number Of years.
Prof. Grabau was asked what he
meant by a fair number Of years.
Say about 1900 900 years" be con-
tinued, grayely.
The last volcanic eruption here
abouts was the one that made the pail
sades on the Hudson, and that
was back in the triassie period In New
England we are POSITIVE there has been
no serious disturbance for thousands OF
years. because there are powders there
which have not been disturbed within
that period"

MONKEYS EARN A LIVING.
Manipulate Fans in India to Cool
Their Masters Parehing BroWs
Method Of Education.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts Of the world. At Malabar, India,
they are taught to work, and have ae-
tually made themselves almost indispen-
sable in the homes Of the wealthy. The
Malabar monkey is Of the fine species
known as the langur. It Is very warm
In Malabar, and there is fan called the
punka, which used to be kept in mo-
ton by a slave. II required a slave to
work each punka, but now every punka
IL Malabar Is worked by a monkey.
Il was an English officer who con-
ceived the idea Of making the langur
work in that manner. The fan isamoV-
able frame, covered with canvas and
suspended from the ceiling. The motion
is caused by pulling a cord. The Of1cer
tied the hands Of the langur to one Of the
cords, and then by means Of another
cord put the machine in motion OF
course the monkeys hand went up and
down and the animal wondered what
kind OF game was being played. Then
the officer patted its head and fed 1t with
candy till soon the langur thought II
was fine fun to work the punka- The
experiment was successful and now
thousands Of monkeys are in harness.

On q small island in the Greek archi-
pelago there is a colony which is COM
posed entirely Of women 1t is a sort Of
religious order, which considers 1t q
disgrace for one Of It's members to even
look at a man. When a fisherman ap-
proaches the islands the women pull the
gray cowls Of their cassOcks over their
heads and turn their backs. Provisions
are never imported, as the women raise
their own products, being strictly vege-
tarians. Only the matrOn, who Is an
nually elected head Of the colony, is ever
allowed to leave the island. The Others
remain on the island all their lives, TAX

PREJUDICE q case which is coming be-
fore the higher courts on appeal, and
the older senators IN the body do not
want to do anything like that, A
good many senator's are sore because
Burton IN his defense declared that
he had done no more than his assO-
cistes and therefore could not prop
erly be blamed.
A little over q year ago Burton
went TO one Of the oldest and most
highly esteemed republican senators
and told him he wanted q piece Of ad-
vice. He said that q sanitarium in
Kansas had asked him to examine its
literature with a view to determining
whether 1t was liable to be excluded
from the mails and to prepare Itera-
tGre which would safely escape the
critical eye of the postal detectives.
He said that he was going TO receive
q generous fee for this work, but he
was in doubt about the legality Of it
and feared It might be In violation Of
Section 1882 Of the Revised Statutes
e. n,r-fwT No
the Revised Statutes and together
they studied carefully the section in
question. Finally the older senator
said that II Burton had correctly
stated the nature OF his employment
BY the sanitarium It did not come IN
der the class Of work forbidden by
the statute. At the same time he told
Burton that q question Of propriety
was involved and that 50 far as he
was personally concerned he would
not think Of accepting such employ
ment, however every senator must de-
eide for himself as to the propriety
Of his conduct That was the last
heard Of the business until Burton
was indicted, when the old senator
was mildly surprised TO have Burton
come I'D to him in the chamber one
day and calmly assert that he had
never before heard Of Section 1,7S2
under which be was indicted. BE said
nothing about 1t, but he was anything
but pleased later to learn that in his
testimony at St Louis Burton had
sworn that he accepted service with
the Rialto company after consultation
with this senator, when as a matter
Of fact the Rialto company had never
been mentioned between the two.

traordinary executive ability.
When Gen. AinsW0rth came 70 the
war department about a dozen years
ago the records OF the department were
IN q state OF chaos. Il took days and
sometimes weeks for the pension once
which was dependent upon the depart
ment Of records in the adjudication OF
the claims to find out just what was
the record during the war Of any given
soldier. Gen. Ainsworth, by the adop
ton OF q system Of his own and BY
wedding out the supersnnuated and
lazy clerks In the department, has
made it possible to find any given
record within half an hour, and thG
extraordinary thing about It Is that
he has vastly increased the efficiency
Of the division while actually decreas
