The Saltiest of the SnIt Seas.

Some idea of the saltness of the wa
ters of the Dead sea may be gained
from the comparison made below. The
Dead sea is situated in Palestine, 20
miles east of Jerusalem. 1t is 80 miles
long and from 10 to Is miles wide, with
an average depth of 20 fathoms Q20
feet. Common ocean water contains
but 80 parts Of salt to the 1000. Those
Of the Dead sea contain $50 parts to the
1000, which makes the briny solution
exactly one fourth salt.

Prince NAPOLEON.

Prince Napoleon in 1870 was some
thing of a prophet. When he heard of
the emperor's declaration of war he
hurried to st. Cloud and had stormy
interview with the emperor. He didn't
hesitate to say, "It is the emperor who
has brought this upon u.s." and the en-
peror, while offended at his frankness,
admitted that your presentiments per-
haps correspond with mine" Then the
prince fired his last shot and showed
that, though he might go astray in
many things, he knew of the weakness
of France and the strength of Ger
many. He turned on his heel and, with
that bitterness which he didn't hesitate
to exhibit when occasion required, said:
80 be it; so be It! Let us, however,
make haste to pack our possessions, for
we are already beaten" And so the
result proved.

IL the Heart Stops Heating.

When the heart stops the circulation
ceases, the capillaries Of the lungs be-
come gorged with staghant blood, while
the blood in the brain no longer carries
away the waste products and brings
the oxygenated fluid to restore the tis-
sues. As the blood takes about half
minute to circulate through the whole
system, it may be taken that at the end
of this period after the stoppage of the
heart the arteries would be filled by the
last effort of the left ventricle, while
the veins would be pouring their con-
tents into the right auricle. In a few
seconds more the nervous centers
would cease to act, and probably by
the end of the minute the subject
would be practically dead from suffo-
cation, although reflex muscular action
would probably keep up the appearance
Of life for some seconds longer.

The puffer or swell fish has the power
to distend itself with air into the shape
of globe. japanese living in the Ha-
waiian Islands make of the skin of the
big puffer found in Hawaiian waters
an odd and grotesque lantern. When
the skin of the big pulfer has been first
removed while it is still soft it Is stuff
ed out to its full size in globe shape
and so left to dry. The skin is not
much thicker than paper and translu-
cent brown on the upper part and gray
below. The fins are preserved and dried
sticking out from the fish, the tail be-
ing perked up at an angle. A circular
opening is made in the back, through
which the light can be placed and in
which is set horizontally hoop or rim
by which the lantern can be suspended.
Such a lantern made of big puffer's
skin may be a foot in diameter cross
wise and fifteen inches in length, and
what with the head of the fish appear
ing at one end and the perlcd up tail
at the other and the fins projecting at
the sides this fish skin lantern makes a

Curly hair is constitutional, hered-

The Calibar Bean.

The famous Calabar bean Is said to
be worse than strychnine. The natives
use it for an ordeal. If person is ac-
cused of crime he is made to eat one,
being adjudged to be guilty in case of
death, which is almost inevitable. An
other seed employed for like purpose
is that of the ordeal tree of Madagas-
car, said to be the most deadly of vege-
table products. One of these seeds
about the size of an almond will kill

some queer problems since the time Of
Horatio, but none of them is more curl
Gus than that relating to the amount of
time it would take for an object to fall
from the sun or moon to our earth. 1t
has been decided, after an immense
amount Of figuring, that if a bowlder
weighing ton should fall from the
sun it would take it ninety-nine years,
nine months and two hours to reach
the earth. The same bowlder could
make the trip from the moon to the
earth in four and one-half days.
