Humanity In Prison.

It is true there are peculiar speci-
mems Of humanity IN prisons cranks,
freaks, degenerates and hardened and
vicious characters but so are there all
these outside the prisons mixed in with
the other people Of the world in the diff
ferent grades of society. The deliber-
ate professional criminal, with pecul-
lar and pronounced characteristics and
forming a different type of man and
woman, is too fnfreruent to constitute
a definite class unless he, with many
others not in prison, be considered as
a member Of diseased class in h1l-
manity. Those who do not agree with
this impression and persist IN believing
that there is distinct, typical Grim
inal class must, If they study society
and also become familiar with the in
mates of our penal institutions, admit
that only small portion of the class
are confined therein.-C. e. Ordway in

THE MILKY WAY.
One of the Great Problems of the
Science of Astronomy.

One of the Great Problems of the
Science of Astronomy.
Some Of the streams of fainter stars
in the Milky Way are very striking and
must convince the most skeptical Of
their reality, says a scientist.
1t is possible to draw an arc Of a
circle through any three stars and a
comic section through any five, but
where we find ten or twenty stars fall
ing into line not once, but in many
cases, and that there is a curious SINH
larity between the strange curves and
branching streams which these pha-
langes of stars mark out on the heav-
ems, there is no room left for doubt
that the mind is not being led away by
a tendency of the imagination similar
to that which finds faces in the fire or
sees man carrying sticks on the face
of the moon.
If it is proved that group of stars
is arranged in line or marshaled in any
order it would follow that the individ-
uals Of the group must be actually as
we'll as apparently close to one anoth-
er and that they form some kind of
system, having all Of them had a com
mon origin or been subject to some
common influence. What these streams
and curves of stars mean and what
forces have marshaled them in lines
form one of the grandest problems Of
the future, one that I trust / may live
to see unraveled.

The Man Is Clean Even If His Sur

You will be surprised possibly to find
that they are generally as clean and
bright as though they had just come
from the manicure.

Trajectory people that, although their
houses are usually surrounded by a
fringe Of dirt and although they don't

are very cleanly in their personal

The daily bath is an institution. A
bathtub is not necessary. Your China
man manages very we'll with a few
cupfuls Of water and a wash rag.
He completes his toilet by polishing
bis long nails, and every day or 50 he
visits the barber, who shaves not only
the scanty hair on his face, but also
his head and the inside Of his ears.

on clean blouse every day or two. 1t

. TAFFY CANDY.
Why 1t BECOMES White Through
Pulling and Working.

why 1t BECOMES White Through
Pulling and Working.
You have often wondered and have
even gone SO far perhaps as to ask
your scientifically inclined friend why
candy or taffy made from brown sugar
or even molasses becomes white by
pulling and working. The question is
not hard one to find an answer for,
provided you look in the right place.
but it is ten chances to one that you
have never seen a solution Of the enig-
ma in print
First, the exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the sirup, which
contains most of the colorfng matter,
and facilitate the oxidizatiOn Of the
carbon in the sugar, which is always
white. Sugar contains eleven atoms
OF oxygen to twelve Of carbon and
eleven Of hydrogen. The sirup drained
from this same sugar in the refining
process not only contains more or less
of coloring matter, but has a smaller
proportion Of oxygen to the amount Of
carbon.
Still another reason why taffy is
whitened by the pulling process is be-
cause it is in effect similar to crush
ing. Pure, clear rock candy, when
crushed, has it's powers Of absorbing
light destroyed or greatly impaired, the
pulverized portions rejecting all the
elementary colors in each ray, which,
of course, results in the eye receiving
the impression of white light.

a FAMOUS OLD BRIDGE.
IT Is Curious1y Decorated With His
toric Pictures.

IL ls CuriOUs1y Decorated with His
toric Pictures.
Few places in Switzerland are more
interesting than the historic old city Of
Lucerne, at the junction of the river
heuss and Lake Lucerne, memorable
FOR It's historic associations with the
heroic legends Of William Tell
Across the river are two wonderful
wooden bridges, the Muehlenbruecke,
or Mill bridge with It's quaint pic
lures of the Dance of DEATH" and the
hapellbruecke, or Chapel bridge This
chapel bridge was constructed as long
ago as 1888 and for nearly coo years
formed the chief avenue Of traffic
across the broad but sluggish stream
Anciently the bridge extended it's zig
gag shape to nearly twice its present
length and reached as far as the Hof-
k1rche, or cathedral whence it's name
the Chapel bridge.
Ii the center Of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
Wasserthurm, or water tower, where
ID olden times the municipal treasure
was stored. For ages it was also used
as prison and among the dungeons
as torture chamber.
BUT the most unique feature Of all
consists Of the curious pictures in the
roof OF the bridge. These old pictures
s1Xty-nine of them-are painted on tri-
angular wooden NanalS which fit into
the pitched roof of the bridge. One
after another they tell the most salient
facts Of Swiss history or portray
events in the life Of the tutelar saints

MEN WITH TAILS.
Queer Records of an Old Time Writ
er on This Subject.

Queer Records of an Old Time Writ
er on This Subject.
Mention Of an obscure belief in other
countries that Englishmen used TO wear
tails has prompted a correspondent to
submit some Information regarding the
subject of tails in general. DIR. John
Wolff, an old time writer, said: There
is even in England a gentleman Of
dark complexion and Of great talents
who walks exactly as if he had a tail,
and people Of high rank told me that
he and his family were known to have
tails, and therefore in his carriage
there is a hole in the seat where he
sits in order that he may be able to
sit comfortably"
Baring-Gould's Curious Myths of
the Middle Ages contains the follow
ing: 'Dr. Wolff in his travels and adj
ventures says, There are men and
women in Abysstnia with tails like
dogs and horses Wolff also heard
from great many Abyssinians and
Armenians (and Wolff is convinced Of
the truth of TT that there are near
Narea, in Abyssinia, people-men and
women-with large tails, with which
they are able to knock down a horse,
and there are also such people near
China" A note in Barring -Gould's book
adds: "In the College of Physicians
and Surgeons at Dublin may still be
seen a human skeleton with a tail
seven inches long. There are many
known instances Of this elongation Of
the caudal vertebra, as in the Poo
hangs in Borneo."

Vegetable Ivory.

The vegetable ivory Of commerce Is
an albuminous substance formed from
milky fluid in the fruit of a species
OF palm Indigenous to several parts of
Central and South America, but which
seems to flourish best in New Granada
and Peru. 1t corresponds to the meat
Of the cocoanut, which latter is the
fruit Of another species OF palm. When
vegetable ivory nuts are ripe they are
covered with brown skin and are
bean shaped, the interior being perfect
~ white and very hard.

A MONSTER PHANTOM.
The Ancient Morse Legend of the
Flying Dutchman.

The Ancient Morse Legend of the
Flying Dutchman.
The old Norsemen had curious and
vague tradition of a phantom ship
which they called Mannifual. The
French maritime chronicler, Jal, gives
an account of her. So likewise does
Thorpe in his work on Northern
Mythology" She was so gigantic that
her masts were taller than the highest
mountains. The captain rode about
on horseback delivering his orders
Sailors going aloft as boys came down
respectable middle aged men, and in
the blocks about her rigging were din
ing halls where they sustained life
during their beavenward wanderfngs
When passing through the strait of
Dover on her way northward she
stuck, but the captain, with ready in
vention, ordered her sides to be lib
orally besmeared with soap, and she
slipped through, leaving the cliffs of
France and England white forever aft
erward
Down to within century ago this
gigantic ship was known among Eng
fish sailors by the name of the Merry
Dun of Dover, but she seems quite to
have disappeared from the maritime
lore Of Great Britain. Seamen of
Normandy still believe in her existence
and call her the Chasse Froude They
say that she Is so immense that it
takes her seven years to tack. On one
occasion in turning her bowsprit swept
away a whole battalion of soldiers
from the Dover cliffs while her stern
boom was demolishing the forts of
Calais.
