THE PLANET MERCURY.
Like Venus and For Like Cause, 1t IL
Now n Dead World.

Mercury is a body devoid, practical
" If not absolutely, of air, of water
and of vegetation. Consequently it is
incapable of supporting any of those
higher organisms which we know as
living beings. Its surface is a vast
desert. 1t is rough rather than smooth.
Whether this roughness be due to
mountains proper or to craters we are
too far away from 1t to be able
yet to say. The latter is the more
probable. Over the greater part OF It's
surface change either diurnal or sea
sonal is unknown. Three-eighths OF It's
surface is stepped in perpetual glare,
three-eighths shrouded in perpetual
gloom, while the remaining quarter
slowly turns between the two. Inc
planet itself, as a world. is dead.
Interesting as Mercury thus proves
to be, the interest as regards the plan
eft itself is of a rather corpselike char
acter. Less deterrent perhaps is the
interest it possesses as a part or the
life history of the solar system, fol
tidal friction, the closing act in the
cOSI1lc UIdIlSi, Ids DlOuSAl IL "
is. The machine has run down
| Whether it ever supported life upon us
| surface or not, the power to do SO mas
now forever passed away. Like venus
| and for like cause, it is now deaC
| world. And it was the first thus u
reach the end Of its evolutionary ca
reer, earlier to do so than Venus, III
asmuch as tidal action was very muci
greater upon it than on Venus and con
sequently produced its effect NOR
quickly. Mercury has long been dead
How long, measured by centuries, W
cannot say, but practically for a YER
long time. Venus must have becom
so comparatively recently. Both, how
ever. now have finished their cours
and have In a most literal sense enter
ed into their rest

2 THEIR WEAK POINTS.
The Fears and Superstitions of Some
Famous Men.

All great people have had their fol-
lies, which is another way of saying
that all have their weak points. DR..
johnson. with all his philosophy, was
not without a superstition. He was
very careful not to enter a room with
his left foot foremost. If by any
chance he did so he would Immediately
step back and re-enter with his right
foot foremost. He was terribly afraid
of death, too, and would not suffer it
to be mentioned in his presence.
julius Caesar, to whom the shouts of
thousands of the enemy were but sweet
music, was mortally afraid Of the
sound of thunder and always wanted
to get underground to escape the dread
full noise.
Marshal SAKE, who loved to look
! upon. the ranks of opposing armies
fed and screamed in terror at the sight
of cat.
Peter the Great could scarcely be
persuaded to cross a bridge, and when
ever he placed his foot on one he would
cry out with fear. Like the great man
he was, he tried to overcome his weak
ness, but he was never able to do so
And Byron would never help any one
to salt at table, nor would he be helped
himself, and if any salt were spilled he
would Immediately get up and leave.

BABIES IN ARABIA.
Their Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving of Heads.

Their Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving of Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies Of Arabia, especially for
those who are Of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs of their race. A royal
babys first toilet there consists in
winding a bandage about it's body aft
er it has been carefully bathed and per-
fumed.
If the child be girl, on the seventh
day of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved, and the disposal of the hair is
regarded as a very weighty matter. 1t
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
| the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks turning point
in the child's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but now it may
! be seen by anybody and is regarded as
| fairly launched on the tide of existence
| Several charms are attached to it's body
for, protection against the "evil eye >
Everything the child uses is perfume6
and covered at night with jasmine
and before it is used fumigated will
amber and musk and sprinkled witt

The servian swineherd.

In any Servian village there is only
one swineherd, and he leads all the
pigs of the community. In the morn
ing he goes through the streets blow
ing his horn, and the pigs come out Of
their own accord and fall in behind
him and follow him to the pasture. At
night he brings them home, and they
dispense TO their sites in the same or
derly way as they pass the houses to
which they belong. They require no
attention and no singing out.

Fishing For Sheep.

When sheep were first introduced
into Cornwall, England, a flock which
nao suayed from the uplands on to
GWlthlan sands were caught there by
the tiue and ultimately carried into
81. ives bay during the night There
lne noaung flock was observed from
the 81. Ives fishing boats, whose crews,
never having seen sheep, took them for
some new kind of fish and did their
best 10 secure them both by hooks and
lines and by netting. Those they Sc
cured they brought home triumphantly
next morning as a catch to which even

SEEING SICILY.
Not to Know This Island Is Not 10
Know Greece.

Not to Know This Island Is Not TO
Know Greece.
There are some lands which have al
WAYS laid a spell upon the mind, upon
the Imagination, upon the heart. Greece,
above all other countries, has entranced
the mind. The imagination has ever
loved the east-Egypt, the Indies, TOR
gotten Asia, the almost as mysterious
Asia of today. For most of US the
home land is the country OF the heart;
for many, it may be, it is Palestine,
where was lighted the fire at which
the hearts of incalculable millions are
still warmed Others are content to
say with Emerson in the fine essay on
.'Heroism," THAT country is the falrest
which is inhabited by the nobiest
minds" But, above all other lands,
there is one which has at once impress
ed the mind, the imagination and the
heart of western peoples. When a IA
nous poet declared that on his heart
would be found engraved the word
italy the words voiced the emotion of
a multitude in every country Of Eu-
rope and in the great northern con-
tinent oversee.
To see Sicily, the old Garden of the
Sum-" as the poets have loved to call it,
is not to see Italy, though there may be
a measure of truth in Goethe's remark
that not to know Sicily is not to know
Italy. In a sense one might more tru-
ly say of Sicily thatmot to know it is
not to know Greece. I'm another sense
however, we have in this most beau
! tiful of islands the intensifcation OF
Italy. Whatever is most Italian is il
evidence here, though it is Italian Of
the south and not of the north Wha

those familiar with the whole PENN

UNDER A HAYSTACk-
The Scene of a Famous and EventfuI
Prayer Meetfne-


Inc most famous prayer meeting ever
convened in this country was held in
the summer of 1906 on the grounds Of
farmer adjacent to Williams college.
WilIiamstown, Mass, says Leslie's
Weekly. 1t was held by five students.
They were querying what they could
do for the benefit of mankind A thun-
derstorm occurred, and they took ref
uge under a hayStack and continued
the meeting. Seemingly the students
alone for the time being knew Of the
meeting. For years the place was IN
marked and the event announcements
ed. But those students originated the
foreign missionary movement in this
country for the benefit of all lands and
peoples. Subsequently Williams college
acquired the property, named it Mis-
sion park and erected a monument
commemorative of the great result. It
consists of shaft of granite twelve
feet in height, bearing a globe three
feet in diameter, representing the
world. The legend on the shaft is,
The Birthplace of American Foreign
Missions" Underneath are the names
of five students who had part in the
| meeting-Samuel j. Mills, James Rich
ards, Francis L. Robbins, Harvey Loo
mis- and Byram Green. This memorial
! is an object of interest to every visitor
to Williamstown, and at every COM
! mencement a religious service is held
! beside it.

The MOSQUITOES Stab.

The mosquitoes eating apparatus
consists of a lancet, inclosed in a
sheath, somewhat on the principle of
the instrument used by physicians.
Connected with this there is an in
jector for throwing into the wound a
subtle poison, which thins the blood,
after which the fluid is drawn up by
pump and swallowed by the mos
quito. Altogether the mandible of the
mosquito is singularly complicated
mechanism and well repays microscopic
study.
