WHERE HEBREW IS SPOKEN.
Two Societies Exist in New York City
for Its Fermentation as n
Live Language.

To those who think of Hebrew as
lead language, it will be a surprise to
earn that there are a number Of So
eieties in this city whose affairs are
conducted n classic Hebrew, says the
New York Posi-. The two most i'm
portant of these organizations are the
Ohole Shem association and the Mephit-
Lay Sfas Eber. In the former the older
element predominates; in the latter the
young people.
The great movement among Hebraists
In Russia to ,ejuvenate the Hebrew
speech and promote its literature found
ready and willing response from
lew young men and women, residents
Of the East Side, who, about a year
and half ago. organized the Mephitzay
Sfas Eber (IIebrew Culture society Its
continually increasing membership now
numbers about 40. The society meets
ivery Sunday evening at eight o'clock
n the Educational Alliance, and demon
Itrates that the Hebrew language is a
living tongue. for all business and 1T
srary discussions are carried on in the
classic dlction of the prophets The So
hety has opened classes for the instruc-
don of Hebrew in English, which have
proved to be very successful. Recently
/ conceived the idea of uniting all He
orew-speaking organizations of this
country into a federation similar to the
French federation In the United States.
t is now agitating this idea.

EARTH'S CENTRAL HEAT.
some Facts Concerning the Temper
allure rs Recorded mt the Bottom
of Very Deep Mines.

In the report Of the last coal commits
non the conclusion is arrived at that at a
depth of 900 feet the temperature Of the
earth would amount 70 9S degrees Fair
snheit, butt was considered that depth
Of at least 1900 feet might ultimately be
reached in coal mining, says Engineer
ne Magazine. The rate OF increase, the
commissioners thought, might for ordi-
nary cases be assumed to be one degree
Fahrenheit for every 60 feet, but it is in
eality impossible to give any fixed rate
If increase. The report OF the British
association committee on underground
temperatures during the last 30 years
lends to show, not only that the tenn
perature gradient varies considerably in
lifferent localities. but that it is not
Easy to deduce fixed law of increase
applicable to all cases In some parts
Of western America the heat at 3 600 feet
Is almost unbearable. while at the Calu-
met and Hecla copper mine in north
Michigan, U. S. A., there is a rise of only
Our degrees Fahrenheit in depth Of
t.400 feet, although no artificial ventila-
don is resorted to. The temperature of
he coal on discovery at the Rosebridge
eollery in Lancashire was stated by the
management to be 90 degrees Fahren-
leit, but y afterward fell to 63 degrees
Fahrenheit

THE MAN AND HIS PICTURES.
MnScHline Half of the Race Hates Old
Age Much More Thnn Do
the Women.

The man was ABOUT So, says the
Philadelphia Record He was rather
bald. His wrinkles were many. His
mustache was gray The flesh of his
cheeks and neck hung rather soft and
tiabby. Nevertheless, he looked vigor-
GUS and tntelligent-he was handsomer
take him altogether than he had been
at 40. But he brought out a photo
graph Of himself at 40 which hardly
resembled him, so much had he
changed, and, If you want to print
my picture, use this" he said to the
reporter; but don't lose it, for it's the
only one I've got of myself at that age
and I'd like to keep it, for, you know,
don't grow any younger" "Id rather
have your picture as you are to-day"
said the reporter; for you are hand
somer now than you were at 40" "Oh,
no; am too old and wrinhled and bald
now" said the man. Use the 40-year-
old picture" The reporter exclaimed
with puzzled laugh: $50 many men
are like you. Though they are old
they insist on having young pictures
printed. They fail to realize now much
more interesting and pleasing their
face is in old age, if they have lived
a fairly wise and Industrious life. I've
had men of 70 actually who have given
me reproduction photographs Of them
selves at So. Women don't do this. l
believe men hate old age more than
women do" 81 hate IT," said the other
