THE RUSSIAN SAILOR

A traveller who has spent many years
in various parts Of Russia has given
some very interesting facts about the
Russian sailor He says he was puz-
zled to find a reason why the Russian
Jack Tar should show no trace what
ever in his walk of the nautical roll
which characterizes the seaman the
world over. After giving considerable
time to observation he found the an
swer to his riddle. The Russian sailor
rarely goes to sea where the constant
balancing of his body is q necessity.
The Black sea squadron can only put
out to sea in the calmest months in
the simmer. The naval maneuyers are
conducted ashore, onathe sKenat. peuin-
sula, and take the form of battalion
drills. There is hardly one Russian tar
out of twenty who could spend twenty
four hours afloat at sea without being
seasick. And this is the reason that,
though there is no finer sailor physi-
caliy in the navies of the world than
the Russian, as handy man" he is
almost useless for active service.

SIMPLE RARoMETERs

Country people have great con-
tempt for those who cannot tell what
the weather is going to be till they
have looked at their expensive barom-
eters or seen the weather indications in
the morning paper. They have so
many simple ways of finding out what
they wish to know about the weather
and are so accustomed to doing this
that they make the observations al
most mechanically. Ask one of them
how to do this and he will give you
long list of simple weather gauges.
For instance If you are a smoker look
at your cigar tip. If it burns with a
clear, red glow the day will be fine,
but if it has charred end that re-
fuses to burn brightly take your UNI
brella. If a slipper creaks it is sure
to be fine; if 1t is silent it will be damp.
In damp weather newspapers are
easily torn, gloves contract and are
difficult to put on, matches will not
light easily. silk hats become dull,
awning cords are tight. boot laces snap
and a score of inanimate things tell
to the initiated that there is rain to
come.

A COSTLY MEAL

Goats are popularity supposed to feed
on nondescript articles which no other
animal could digest or masticate, but
there is or there was a goat in Belgium
which showed nice discrimination in
the choice OF its food and paid the price
with it's life. An old peasant woman
laid on the grass an old jacket which
contained bank notes of small denomi-
nations aggregating a sum of $240.
While she was at work her pet nanny

This paper was taken to the National
Bank of Belgium and, after chemical
analysis, the bank paid the woman the
equivalent of the chewed paper in new
notes.

JAP PROFICIENCY IN RUSSIAN

Most Japanese officers and many Of
the men speak Russian fluently. There
has been a professorship of the Rus
sian language at the School of War in
Toxic ever since 1882. There is another
at the University of Toxic, where the
professor, of late years, has been a
Muscovite by birth named Kerder, who
is now naturalized Japanese. Besides
these, Russian courses are held at sew
eral scholastic institutions in Toxic.
The Russian has always had reputa-
ton for great fluency in speaking for
eign tongues, but he will soon have to
look to his laurels, for the japanese
is rapidly outstripping him.

WHEN sERpENrs SWAN

IT is not impossible that the indica-
lions of former snake locomotiou
which are now found in the python
and other snakes are the remains Of
former fins and that snakes swan be-
fore they took to land. There are many
facts which point to these conclusions.
All snakes can swim. There was a
monster OF prehistoric times that FREE
uuented the waters when the world
was young called the plesiosaurus
which acquired monstrous dimensions
Popular biologists like to picture bait
ties in the seas when the waters were
red with the blood of these monsters
and others OF their tribe. Their sole
surviving descendants are the half
mythical sea serpents. They had fins,
and the rudiments now found may be
the remains of these. When the reptiles
came to the land to live and learned
for some unknown reason to burrow in
thessand, they would undoubtedly have
lost these. There are missing links,
however, in the line of the descent of
snakes, and all the scientists tell of
reptilian genealogy is partly a matter
of conjecture. OF the many snakes in
the water nowadays, the major part
are rapid swimmers and deadly to
handle.
There is still another explanation of
the rudimentary foot of modern times
in the snake world, and that is the
remains of flying dragon. There were
undoubtedly dragons in the times of
old, and when the dragons ceased to
fly and came to the earth 1t Is not inn
probable that some of them survived as
snakes, and that the remains of their
feet and wings survive in the species
| that tempted Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. The usual method of
| locomotion in the snake tribe is pecu-
| liar and is more like walking in bag
than anything else. A snake walks; he
does not crawl. The snake walks on
his ribs. The old Germans or Teutons
used to have warlil1e custom of pro-
claiming their kings The sturdy war
riors would lock their brazen shields
| together, lifted high above their heads,
on which the future king was elevated.
The snakes body Is in some respects
like the interlocked shields. His feet
are his ribs, which he is capable of
working forward or backward, at the
same time bending them. over each
rib there Is a shield, and as the foot
moves the point of the foot is lowered
and digs into the ground or takes hold
of any projection on the surface over
which it is going. This moves his bulk
along He also curls himself up, and
thus moves along more swiftly. Grab
bling with his front ribs, an ugly snake
can hold fast while he pulls up his
other half. Scientists do not believe
that snakes can spring, but they some
times jump.

A MOUNTAIN OF IRON

A mountain which is said to be the
most remarkable in the world is sit

1t certainly has a claim to this reputa-
ton, for it is 2000 feet high, about
three-quarters of mile in thickness
at the base and is almost solid iron,
Naturally it has been the dream OF
iron manufacturers ever since its dis
covery to lease the mountain and SO
work it. But this the government has

BURNING THE DEAD

Since cremation has come into fire.
been many strange ways of disposing
of the ashes of a body. Usually the
deceased leaves directions as to what
shall be done with his remains and
it seems as If he often taxed his brain
to the utmost to find some novel plan
for disposing of his ashes. But possibly
the most eccentric of these instructions
comes from man in Exeter. He has
left in his will clause directing that
his body shall be cremated, the ashes
taken up in balloon to height of not
less than 1000 feet and then scattered
to the four winds of heaven.

ding parties, so that the bride and
bridegroom. the bridesmaids and guests
may not get their smart dresses spoiled
when walking from the church door to
the carriages. 1t is also used by the
clergy at funerals when the service has
to be held by the graveside in pouring
rain. That it is useful is obvious. and
it is rather remarkable that many
other churches do not possess such an
article as part of the ordinary
church furniture.

glass is compound of fluoric acid and
barium. The latter has no effect, 1t
being simply white powder to give
body to the acid. The ink can be used
with a rubber hand stamp. and it
should be allowed to remain fifteen
minutes when the barium will brush
off, leaving the design on the glass.
