A WONDER OF JAPAN.
The Famous Castle of the Gold Dul-
phins NJ Nishnu.

The Famous Castle of the Gold Duh
pi,ins NJ Nishma.
Is the novel castle at NiShma, Japan.
the palace which Marco Polo described
in his tale OF the marvels of far Cathay
as covered with gold slabs? At the
ends of the ridge of the pyramidal
structure are large solid gold dolphins.
Beneath the pile is well which is lit
orally salted gold mine. 1t is gold
lined and will hold sufficient water tn
supply 5000 persons. The dolphius.
which were placed on the top several
centuries ago. have excited the curiosi-
ty of foreign relic hunters. as any one
might imagine they would. SO many
have climbed to the top of the high
structure to discover by testing if they
are real gold that the dolphns have
become seriously disfgured. Strong
steel wire bags have been put over
them TO prevent further vandalism.
Only by good fortune does one of
these dolphns still grace the old cas-
tie. A number of years ago it was tax
en- down and sent to Vienna for eXhi-
bition at the worlds fair held there as
rare specimen of ancient Japanese
art. The vessel on which it was being
returned sank, and it lay at the bottom
of the sea for several years in spite of
every attempt to raise it. Persistence
was rewarded at last, for it was finally
recovered and placed again in its old
position.
The castle is used by the emperor of
Japan as his headquarters during the
army and navy reviews. State balls
are also held there - Chicago Inter
Ocean.

LAUGHTER.
Even IL II DC Emotional Insanity,
Let Us Have Plenty of IL.

even II IL he imOtiOnuI InSnnttyS
Let Us Have rIcnty of IL.
Some English scientist has reached
the conclusion that laughter is insan-
ity. He regards Il fit of laughter as an
emotional insanity of short duration.
All right. then, give us little more in
sanity. There is not laughter enough
in the world-at least the right kind OF
laughter. We will let the Englishmen
keep their faces straight if they want
to. but it BELTS the American civiliza-
ton better 20 break out into laughter
once in awhile Laughter is good for
the facial muscles. 1t develops the
muscles of the neck as well as the face.
1t makes the corners of the mouth turn
upward instead of downward 1t gives
the wrinkles of the face a pleasing out
line. quickens the action of the heart
and gives new life to the nerve centers.
Yes. we can afford TO let the English
man look wise and idiotic if he wants
to. He can stare with fish eyed big
otry whenever n joke is perpetrated.
never allowing Il ripple Of merriment
TO disturb the placidity of his counte-
nance. He can do all these things that
he wishes TO. but let us go on laugh
ing. This kind of insanity mixes very
well with sanity and prosaic life. A
little burst of emotional insanity breaks
nicely the monotony of facts and fig
ures.-Medical Talk.

An Englishman who is large EN-
ployer of labor has been Investigating
the arguments of those who say that a
worllingman under modern conditions
has kept a record of all accidents that
have incapacitated his men for three
days and upward. The people engaged
in his employment are from fifteen to
siXty-five years of age, and he asserts
that more accidents occur to men I'M
der thirty than TO those over fifty. He
says. Il would much rather intrust an
exceptionally dangerous job to a man
over fifty than to one of thirty years
of age"

THE WHALES SENSES.
Ability of the POnderous Animal to
Hear Under Water.

1t seems perfectly evident that
whales must hear when in the water,
says the London Field. This inference
is confirmed by the comparatively
small development of the other sense
organs. The eye, for instance. is very
small and can be of little use even ut
the comparatively small depths 20
which whales are now believed to de-
scend.
Again, the sense of smell. Judging by
the rudimentary conditions Of the oil
factory organs, must be in allegiance.
and whales have no sense organs com
parable to the lateral line system of
fishes. Consequently ii would seem
that when below the surface of the wa
ter they must depend chiefly upon the
sense of hearing Probably this sense
is so highly developed as to enable the
animals in the midst of the vibrations
made by the screwlke movements Of
the tail or fukes to distinguish the
sound Tor vibrations made by the i'm
pact of the water against the rocks
even in a dead calm, and in the case
of pisciyorous species, to recognize by
the pulse in the water the presence of
shoal fish
Failing in this explanation, it is diff
cult to imagine how whales can find
their way about in the semidarkness
and avoid collisions with rocks and
rockbound coasts.

In his book on India, The Highroad

scription of the carts of that country
with a story of fellow Englishman
who had Travelled in the east. He was
a KentiSh squire who was interested
in giving his tenants an intelligent idea
of what he had seen abroad. He had
made journey in Palestine and, be-
ing an admirable craftsman, had
brought home a number of excellent
sketches. One winter evening after
his return the squire gave a lecture to
his village and showed number of
his drawings Among them was cart
very similar to that which | drew at
Jodhpur. The squire explained to his
audience that it was type of the most
primitive conveyances known and that
it had existed in precisely this same
form in Palestine from the earliest
times-indeed, that it was probably a
cart or wagon of this description that
Joseph had sent down from Egypt to
bring his father and his household
goods from Canaan. Afterward an old
farmer came up and expressed his
great interest in what he had heard.

lli6 is thereby in danger. This sensa-
tional lament is getting to be as regular
as. it is unfounded in fact 1t is getting

exaggerated. The cause of temperance
generally is making good headway in
these times; all statistics show conf

the age in its attitude toward drunken
