CLOUDS EIGHT MILES HIGH.

Teoullarltles Attending and Preceding
Thunderstorms Noted.
A great camulous t~hunderhead
cloud, towering up on the horizon like
a huge %hamboyant iceberg, is often
higher than the highest Alps would be
if they were piled on top of the Him
alayas.
It is not unusual for these clouds to
measure five, six, and even eight
miles from their fiat, dark base, hover
ing a mile or two above the world, to
their rounded, glistening summit,
splendid in the sunlight. And in these
eight miles the changes of tempera.
ture are as great as those over many
thousand miles of the earth's surface.
These clouds contain strata of temper
allure, narrow belts of freezing cold
alternating with large distances of
rainy mist and frozen snow and ice
particles.
Hailstones, which are formed from
a snow particle that falls from the
upper strata and is frozen hard in the
freezing belt and coated with added
ice on the wet belt, are often found
with a series of layers in their forma-
ton, showing that they have passed
through this succession of cloud
strata more than once on their way
from the upper air to the earth

The privilege of keeping pets is very

lavish their spare time and cash on
some very strange animals. The Cen

The German Prlnz Wilhelm had a grey
stork, and the United States Chicago

and peacocks are popular with Italian
seamen, and the unfortunate Amir

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes. inasmuch as their eyes
never close. They are without lids,
and each is covered with a transpar-
ent scale. much resembling glass.
When the reptile sheds its outer skin
tile eye scales come off with the rest
of the transparent envelope out of
which the snake slips. This CLASSY
eye scale is SO tough that it effec-
tually protects the true eye from the
twigs, sharp grass and other obstruc-
lions which the snake encounters in
its travels. yet it is transparent
enough to allow the most perfect
vision. Thus. If the snake has not a
glass eye, it may, at any rate, be said

SACRED SHRINE OF JAPAN.
Where Devotees Pray for Safety Of

Where DeVotees Pray for Safety Of
Absent Ones.
A romantic custom of the Japanese
Is described in the "Kokoro" of Laf-
cadio Hearn. 1t is narrated that
those who are anxious for the safety
of absent ones repair to the mountain
Of Dakeyama to perform a singular
rite. There is a shrine at the sum-
init to commemorate a princess of an
tiquity who daily watched hopelessly
until she pinned and died, when her
body was changed into stone. One
who looks with the eyes of a believer
still sees the princess on Mount Da-
keyama in the shape Of a %perpendicu-
lar rock. Before her shrine are
heaps Of pebbles and those who ascend
to pray for the safe homecoming of
one they love take a pebble away with
them as a talisman. And when at
last reunited with the beloved another
pilgrimage is made to the shrine on
Dakeyama to replace the pebble, with
a handful of others, in devotional
gratitude.
