The rotation Of the earth on its axis
causes an interruption Of solar heat
on an average Of twelve hours out Of
every tWenty-four. This accounts for
the earth's maintenance of that equa-
bic temperature on its land and sea
surfaces that proves so conducive to
the propagation of every species of
life Whilst on the other hand, if the
earth were without the suns heat the
temperature on its surface would be
several hundred degrees below zero
This gives US an idea Of the great i'm
pOrtance that solar heat bears to our
globe. The entire vegetable and ami
NAL kingdom owes its very existence
either in a direct or indirect sense to
sun heat. All the winds. clouds and
storms Of our globes. and. in cOnnec-
ton, all its streams. springs, lakes and
seas, are due to the suns heat. for

for maintaining so vast and constant

man history not the least diminition
has been detected in it's store.
The computation has been made by
a certain astronomer, that were the
entire body OF the sun as We see il a
mass of solid coal, at the present rate
of expenditure il would burn out en-
tirely in about 5000 years. No mat
ter what be the direct source of the
suns heat. the conclusion dawns uDon

operate in its production this heat at
some remote time viii perCeptibly di-
minish and at least be exhausted en-
tirely. Long before this could occur,
however. all life upon the earth and
elsewhere within the solar system
would have persisted. and every trace
Of mankind Obliterated from the globe.
COnjectures like these need not Occa-
sion the least alarm. for even the Wild
est speculation places these events in

aLLIGATORS IN VENEZUELA.
There Are Thousands of Them There.
But as Yet They Are of No
Practical Use.

The United States consul at
Maracaibo, Venezuela, in a recent
report to the state department
comments interestingly on the
great number of alligators in that
country. He viewed these hideous
amphibians through a business
aye and wrote:
Though but few alligator skins
are sent abroad from here, it is not
)n account ef scarcity of alliga-
tors. tits strange that nobodyha
taken up the limiting of these rep
tiles. They are here in the lakes
and lagoons and rivers in untold
numbers and all sizes. The skins
are well worth securing and alliga-
tor oil brings high price, being
used for MEDICAL purposes. In the
Rio de Orc and the Rio Tara /
have seen thousands of large alli-
gators which came up to deposit
their eggs on the sand banks dur
ing the dry season. 1t is the same
in all the hundreds of streams
which flow into the lake of Mara
caibo. Alligator hunting is fine
sport, and in my opinion would be
paying business"

Oil is not only poured on the

miles of the roadways of Califor-
MIA are. now treated with oil for
the purpose of laying dust. The
results are said to be most promis-

mia. The, climate is so dry
that the difficult V l1as;alw lws=s been
to prevent the road surface from

TALE OF THE ALBATRoss.
Interesting Nomadic Bird Has q
Unique Superstition Attached
to It's Life.

OF all the strange creatures seen
by travellers not the least interest
ing is the wandering albatross.
This great feathered wanderer,
sometimes measuring II feet from
tip to tip of his wings, will follow
a ship for days at time. Some
travellers and sailors declare that
they have seen particular bird fly
for weeks at a time without rest
ing. The albatross has always
been bird of mystery, and in an
cient times the people believed
that these unwearying seabirds
were the companions of the Greek
warrior Diomedes, who were said
to have been changed into birds at
the death of their chief.
Though the superstition about
the killing of an albatross bring
ing bad luck is only foolish one,
it has served a useful purpose for
many years in preventing the
slaughter of these beautiful and
gallant birds-the sailors friends
and the landsmen's wonder. Up in
dreary Kamtcha tka, that outlying
part of Siberia which cuts into the
North Pacific, the natives, never
having heard of the superstition
about the albatross, catch him and
eat him. But his flesh makes such
poor food that, after all, the legend
may be said to hold good, for he is
indeed in bad luck who has to
make meal of it.
