The eyebaIl contains a high percent
age Of blood, and why, therefore, is it
white? The answer is that the blood
vessels which supply its surface are
50 exceedingly minute that usually
they do not admit the little red corpus
eles to which the ordinary red appear
ance of the blood is due Blood without
these corpuscles is colorless, or, al
most, of the faintest yellow tint But
occasionally when the eye is irritated
or when there is any slight or consid-
cradle arrangement of the system GER
tain Of the little vessels enlarge sufh-
GENTLY to allow the corpuscles to en-
ter, thereby producing the well known
red streaks or infiamed appearance Of
the eyeball.

CURIOUS FISH.
They Keep Their Eggs In Natural
Pockets In Their Mouths.

They Keep Their Eggs In Natural
Pockets In Their Mouths.
In the sea of Galilee, or Lake Tibe-
rias, as it is also called, there is a
strange fish named the Chromis simo-
mis-, which is more careful of it's young
than fish generally are The male
takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps
them in his natural side pockets, where
they are regularly Matched and remain
until able to shift for themselves. By
this ingenious arrangement the brood
is comparatively guarded against it's
natural enemies. It is easily fed, too,
but it is a puzzle how the little oAes
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says traveller writing to a religious
contemporary, | found in my net q
number of these fish without eyes.
Others Of the species, when I lifted
them up, dropped a number of little
fishes out Of their mouths, which swan
away hastily The natives explained
the phenomenon. The blind chromis
is the victim of sea hawks. When
these birds have eaten their fill they
begin to look out for tidbits. After
catching fish they hit its forehead
with their sharp beak, knocking out
the middle pca't, in which their eyes are
set The bony structure is dropped
into the water, but the eyes are eaten
by the birds with great relish.
Strangely enough, the fish generally
survive this rough treatment The
wound heals up quickly in water, and
they continue to ply the lake for food
as if nothing had happened.-London

Blood From a STONE.

The open terrace IN front Of the De-
Wan-i-Khas consists of two thrones,
the black one Of which, facing the riv-
er, was cut out Of single slab Of
stone in 1903. This black throne, which
is about eleven feet long and support
ed by octagonal pedestals, was built
by Akbar in recognition Of his sons
title to the empire. Here Jchanglr
used to sit occasionally and see the
fight of wild animals arranged for his
amusement. The crack on the throne
is believed to have been caused by
Lord Lakes bullet falling upon it dur
ing the attack Of 1903 According to
tradition, however, il cracked when
the Jat king Of Bharatpur sat on the
throne, for it was meant to be used by
none but the real descendants of the
great mogul Then, again, when Lord
Ellenborough sat on it during the Ka-
bull war In 1912 blood Is supposed to
have come out Of 1t. ~ East Indian

First Gli1nmer of a star.

A little girl, the French critic Sarcey

the opening lines when Auber stopped

Thus Sarah Bernhardt, for it was
she, entered the Conservatoire.

Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor
ggecsJ1s TraDDfnGS.

EAGpaaMES, DeK1EElf IN Dress AND Cor
geous Trappfngs.
Elephants are passionately fond Of
inery and delight to see themselves
deczed out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes Of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected
For these they have made cloths Of
silk SO heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession of a
rajah being i'll, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only a subor-
daate place
The animal delighted with it's fnery,
showed its glee by SO many little
squeaks and kicks Of pleasure that gen
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state process
Sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded Of his promo
ton, was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader Of the
parade.

Fish For the Brain.

OLD ROMAN BATHS.
They Held Theaters, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries

They Held Theaters, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries
The ancient Romans were extrava-
gantly fond of bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as q luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 800 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some of which we're
the most beautiful and elaborate struc-
lures in the world.
The baths of the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half a square mile
and contained, besides immense basins
and thousands Of marble recesses, the
alters, temples, halls for Teasing. prom
enades planted with trees, libraries,
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned The
the surface Of the water, around the
edge of the basins, scraping them
selves with dull knives of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges in
to the water.
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath, seeking relief
from overindulgence in eating and
drinking the night before Everybody,
even the emperor, used these baths,
which were open to every one who
chose to pay the price Of admission.
1t was not usual for the old Romans
to have baths in their houses, though
at a date 1900 years before that, or
$500 years ago, the noblemen Of an
cient Greece had their dwellings sup
piled with baths of terra Gotta.

THE. PARLOR.
1t Is Rapidly Becoming an Apartment
of the Past.


The American parlor is a thing Of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. No more viii
there be room reserved for state oc-
casions, such as the receiving of form
al calls, the visit Of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
I'VE never take the parlor into con-
sideration any more" said Cleveland
architect recently 1.-THE parlor is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
In SO much reverence in the old days,
has no place in modern architecture.
"The demand is for a large living
room in a small house, together with a
dining room and kitchen. In a larger
house there is usually large living
room, library, 'den,' dining room and
kitchen.
II had client yesterday who desired
to have a reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have a sort of recep-
ton room In connection with the hall
way.
when the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make radical
change, but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room, isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re-
ceiyed. Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
In these days the reception rooms
do r3t have to be closed only to be
opent q on the occasion of the visit Of
the family minister or the physician"
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun-
try parlor, with all its memories Of Wis
ftors, courtship and occasions which
left impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to-
day.

A pretty table observance in Danish
families is for children, even little ones
who can scarcely toddle, to go gravely
after dinner to salute their parents and
say, "Tak for mad" (''Thanks for the
meal'). Even visitors shake hands with
their host and hostess and go through
the same formality. In German fami-
lies that hold to tradition the same GUS
tom prevails When the evening meal
is ended the party stand up around the
table and each shakes hands with the
neighbor, saying, "Gesegnete Mahlzeit''
blessing the food.

A Kitten and a Needle.

A short time ago a woman living in
England was petting her kitten, when
she suddenly felt something scratch
her hand On examining the spot
whence the scratch proceeded, she felt
the point Of a needle sticking out Of
poor pussy's neck fur The needle was
pulled out by her husband, and an
other surprise was experienced when II
was found that length Of thread was
attached to the needle, both having
passed down the Kittens throat and

THE ART OF ACTING.
What Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars Must Learn.


1t is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the footlights / was acouaint-
ed with a lady in London who had
been the wife Of a peer OF the realm,
who had been ambassadress at foreign
courts, who at the time had been a
reigning beauty and who came to me
longing for a new experience and i'm
ploring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage
In a weak moment consented. and,
as / was producing a play, I cast her
for a part which thought she would
admirably suit that of society wo-
man. What that woman did and didn't
do on the stage passes all belief. She
became entangled In her train, she
could neither sit down nor stand up,
she shouted, she could not be persuad-
ed to remain at a respectful distance,
but insisted upon shrieking into the
actors ears, and she committed all the
gaucherfes you would expect from an
unframed country Wench.
But because everybody is acting in
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage, and there is no pro
fession that has so many critics. Every
individual in the audience is a critic
and knows all about the art of acting.
But acting is gift. It cannot be
taught.
You can teach people how to act act
ing, but you cannot teach them to act.
Acting is as much an inspiration as the
making Of great poetry and great pic
lures. What is commonly called acting
Is acting acting. Richard Mansfield in

TRIAL BY ORDEAL.
The Queer System That Exists In the
Sinai Peninsula.


In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced. In all criminal cases
where no witnesses are forthcoming
the judge, Eel mabashaa," tests the
suspected person by fire, by water or
by dream. In the first the judge places
an iron pan in the fire until it is redhot
and gives it to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue, If marks
of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty The
theory apparently is that if he is not
guilty the moisture ON the tongue pre-
vents it from being burnt; if guilty his
tongue would dry up from fear Of be-
ing discovered
The test by water is described as fol-
lows: ''The 'mabashaa' sits with the
accused and the spectators in circle
with copper jug full Of water placed
in the center This jug is then made
to appear to move round the circle by
means of witchcraft or hypnotism. If
the jug returns back to the judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty, but
If the jug stops opposite the accused
he is pronounced guilty"
This description is rather wanting in
detail, and it is difficult to know how
a Jug which only appears to move can
be a trustworthy index. In the test by
dream the ''mabashaa" sleeps and sees
in dream if the accused is guilty or
not-Chicago News.

Luminous Plants.

In his book entitled Luminous
Plants" Professor Molisch explains the
light which is often seen radiating from
stumps Of old trees. 1t is due to mi
croscopic animals fungolds, which on a
dininutive scale have the exact form
OF mushrooms. These parasites live
only SO long as sap and strength re
main in the wood. Similarly the .rhos-
phorous" light on the surface of the
sea comes from the animals which live
ON the eseaWeed.

They are called "stoops" and are some

these posts point out where they lie

FISHING FOR BIRDS.
Catching Gulls and Albatross with
Rod and Line.


Rod and Line.
Curious though it may seem, it is a
fact that birds are caught with rod and
line in many parts of the world. The
pastime is declared to be almost as fas-
cinating as fishing. Gulls in Newfound-
land are caught in this way in large
quantities. In New England fishing for
gulls and petrels is an important In
dustry.
The method Of bird fishing is practi-
cally the same as that Of ordinary
fishing. Two men go out in dory and
throw pieces of cod liver on the water.
When large quantities Of birds have
been attracted to the spot more cod
liver is thrown out on hook. This the
birds greedily swallow and thus fall
easy victims.
AlbatrOss are ished for in the same
way off the Cape of Good Hope. A
piece Of pork is attached to a long line
and thrown overheard The bird will
eye it for long time, gradually and
cautiously making toward it. Suddenly
he will seize 1t and hold it in his beak.
When he discovers that he is caught he
will sit on the water and vigorously
flap his wings. However, he will be
drawn into me boat and made a cap
tive.
Albatross fishing is good sport, since
the bird requires careful handling. So
long as he pulls against the line it is
easy enough. The moment, however
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it is skillfully ma
nipulated, and the bird will find him
self free.
