ROCK FORMATION.
In One Sense Stones Do Grow, and

In One Sense Stones Do Grow, and
In Another They Do Not.
Rocks do not grow in the sense that
plants do. They may increase in size
by means of accretion, and they may
also undergo other changes. Old sea
beds, lifted up and exposed for ages, be-
come stratified beds of sandstone or
limestone; volcanic ashes and lava
strewn over hills and plains become
tufa, hard enough for building stone,
and the pebbly shores of rivers and
smaller streams may sometimes
change into conglomerates. The simple
mineral, however, does grow, especial
ly when it takes upon itself the form
of a crystal. A sparkling prism of
quartz increases from an atom to
monster crystals of varying length and
size by what biologists know as a
process of addition and assimilation.
This process is wonderfully slow, but
with a mathematical eXactness that is
a surprise to persons even well up"
in the science of geology. In one sense
stones grow; in another they do not
The crystal may become longer and
larger, but the bowlder on the roadside

CURIOUS woRsf4IP.
The Custom of Throwing Prayers at
an Idol In Japan.

The Custom of Throwing Prayers at
an Idol In japan.
Along the sacred road of Nikko, in
Japan, is an idol about which centers
one of the most curious worships in
the world. Upon the surface of the
statue are seen little pieces of what
appears to be dried paper. If you stand
by the idol for awhile and wait for a
worshiper to come along, you will see
what these bits of paper are. The dev-
Otee halts in front of the image, then
scribbles a prayer on bit of the pa
per. The wad he then chews up into
a ball and hurls at the god If it
hits the face and sticks, the prayer is
sure to be granted, and the pious pill
grim goes away happy. If the ball
sticks to some portion of the body, TIE
omen is not quite so propitious, and if
it falls to the ground there is absolute
ly no hope.
Such a mode of prayer is even more
curious than the praying wheels of the
Buddhists, who set the wheel revolving
and reel off prayers by machinery. AS
John L. Stoddard, the lecturer, said:
Zone sees, of course, numberless
strange rites connected with religion
in travelling about the world but
Japan is the only land l have ever
visited where deities serve as targets
for masticated prayers

The Funny Bone.

A most unpleasant sensation is caused
by the violent excitation of the ulnar
nerve due to blow on the elbow This
nerve passes down on the inner side Of
the arm and then rather inconsiderate-
ly bends round and enters the forearm
at the Aack Of the elbow joint. Any
one who has felt his neighbor's elbow
sticking into his ribs knows that the
elbow is remarkably deficient in flesh.
The nerve is therefore at this point
very near the surface and has little to
shield it from a blow. If we are so
unfortunate as to give our elbow a
smart tap we obtain practical con-
f1rmation Of the fact that the ulnar
nerve is the principal sensory nerve of
the forearm and hand.

Most Horrible of All Dreams.

No words are strong enough to point
out the danger of slow poisoning by
drugs which are often taken to procure
sleep, whether it be an alcoholic night
cap, morphine, opium, choral or any
other. The medical man has recourse
with reluctance to these as a last and
temporary resort, and only he can tell
how many lives are wrecked by the
i'll timed use of them and their subse-
quent abuse. Of all horrible dreams
none is so awful as those which assail
people who habitually use these false
comforters. Better than all the drugs
in the world for procuring sleep are
simple food, regular life and a calm
mind.-Cassells.

People Who Rarely Wink.

There are people who rarely wink
How they manage to get along with
out doing so is marvel, but somehow
or other they do. Some eyes are natu-
rally more moist than others, and the
very moist eye does not so much need
the assistance of the lids to keep the
eyeball bright 1t is a constitutional
matter, for winking, though under the
control Of the will, is done so quickly
that it is practically an involuntary ac-
ton. Men wink when they feel that
the eye is uncomfortably dry, and
when 1t does not become dry the neces-
sity for winking is not felt

You have a prospect of a bountiful

insurance may be money well spent.
If you insure at all you want the best.
