Marceilin Pellet, q traveller who haA recently returned from Guatemala, de. scribes a curious species of fish, the Pa cilla dorri. which he found in the boiling lake of Ammatitlan, says London An. swers It passes its days literally lin continual hot water" So hot is the water of this lake, it is said, that to thrust one's hand into 1t means scalded fingers. Ebullition is, however, some. what tempered, as the really boiline water rises to the surface, leaving . temperature of 35 degrees cent at the level where the Ash Is found, which is even then exceedingly warm for cold blooded creatures like fish,
 Frank Buckland states in one of his works that the naturalist. Brouasonet found by experiments that sonse fresh water fish would live for several days in water 30 hot that human being coaid not keep his hand in 1t for a minute.

MOODS OF THE MOON.
Indicate What the Weather Will Be --Some of the Points to Notice
 Before FOrecastinE.

A clear moon indicates frost.
 A dull-loolling moon means rain.
 A single halo around the moon in dicates storm.
 If the moon looks high cold weather may be expected. ..
 If the moon looks down, war. weather is promised.
 The new moon on her back always indicates wet weather.
 A double halo around the moon means very boisterous weather.
 If the moon changes with the wind tr the east, then shall we have bad weather. #..'&
 If the moon be bright and clear when three days old, fine weather is prom. ised. ...
 When the moon is visible in the day time, then we may look forward to cool days.
 When the points of the crescent oi the new moon are clearly visible, frost may be looked for.
 If the new moon appears with its points upward, then the month will bt ? dry; but should the points be down ward, a good deal of rain must be ex- pected during the next three weeks.

TO CUT OR SPLIT GLASS.
G1 One Knows How, It Can Be Done Easily and Withoat .
 Diamond.

It often occurs that glass tubes or various dimensions have to be cut where q diamond is not at hand, aa in shops and power plants where oil and water gauge tubes must be neatly fitted, says the National GlaAs Budget The usual method adopted Is to file . small groove around the tube and separate the glass with sharp rap at the place weakened by the fle The result is not always sat- isfactory because the ends often break unevenly owing to the difncHlty of mak- ing straight groove with the file. Bet ter results are obtained when only . small incision is made with hle, just enough to cut through tho enamel of the tube, on one side, and not all aronnd While the tube Is still warm from fhs friction of the file, the tube is then taken between the thumbs and forefnger, the thumbs opposite to the fiie incisicn, and the forefngera around the tubing. close to but not covering the incision. Pres sure of thNthumbs invariably causes the tube to break in az straight and clean a line as though cut with a diamond.
 Another method is to use fine saw blade (the finer toothed the better, for a saw is only another form of flle), and this should be kept fed with fine emery. arborundum, or puiverized silica sand of hard grit. mcisteRed with camphor. oil, turpentine or water. A straight, steady and even stroke should be made, and when the work is carefully done against gauge the cut will be as true as though 1t had been ground Nor is even a toothed blade necessary if suit able hard and finely grftted abrasive is used and regulariy fed between the glass and fine wire. watchspr1ng, or blunt but even blade of an ordinary table knife. The latter will be somewhat slow, ot course. but fine steel wire run at high speed like a band saw if regularly fed with fne emery or earborundum, will give very satisfactory results, not only for cutting either straight lines or curves in window. but plate or optical glass, in such thickness as makes cut ting with diamond difficult, precarious or impossible.
 Window glass, especially single strength, can be accurately split either in straight or curved iines by first mak- ing an innision through the enamel of the glass. and then holding hot iron close to the incisjon till a fracture is started. The fracture will follow the hot iron with remarkable fidelity. The iron should be preferably round and somewhat blunt and with bulky head (Iike an ordinary fire poker), 60 as to retain it's heat well for long cuts, espe- cially for thick sheets, to keep the frac- ture going when once started, even ii two heated ircns have to be used

A Lihrary of Colorado History.

The University of Colorado is nov making special effort to gather books relating to the early history Of Colcra- do, says the Denver Republican. This collection, which will be carefully cal alogued and preserved, is to consist of anything and everything which will bear upon the history of the state. books printed in Colorado. written about Colorado or by CoIoradoans. newspapers, pamphlets relating in any way to the state, flies of newspapers. public documents etc. It is said to be sad fact that there is no complete set of public documents of the history of Colorado in existence.

 Hfiles In Forty-ene Minutes.
 ORMOND, Fla, Feb. 1.--W William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., has departed from Or mond with three more brilliant victo- ries to his credit, and for year he will cease automobile racing until the next meet at Ormond Mr. Vanderbilt will then have 120 horsepower car. with which he hopes to lower his great bunch of records made at this meet. He has placed the fifty mile record to his credit and all intermediate marks by ten mile stretches. He won the ten mile event in the invitation race in 6:50. The twenty miles in the fifty mile championship he did in 17O2, thir- l ty miles in 24:11, forty miles in 33:52 2-5 and fifty miles in 4o;49 4-5
 These marks, with the, Ave mile mark of 3:31 3-5 and his one mile record of B0 seconds, are all notable. Oldfeld gained the mile competition record, but every mile made by MT. Vanderbilt in 1 the five mile record averaged better than Oldheld's time, bearing out the assertion by Mr. Vanderbilt that he was caught mapping while changing his gears.
 Tn the fifty mile race the terrific pace l of a mile and one-fifth minute was | attained, or seventy-two miles an hour. faster than an express train.
 The Empire State express, one of the fastest in the world, attains speed much less,
 The record of mile ill 4S seconds, the average speed attained by MT. Van herbilt in the fifty mile race, takes rank among the fastest miles ever achieved anywhere in the world. There are few records surpassing it.
