Peculiar Light diving Animals.

Peculiar Light Diving Animals.
A peculiar light giving animal found
IN southern Californian waters is the
heteropod. The metropolis, dazzling
white and almost shapeless, can often
be seen floating on the clear water.
Their bodies are almost transparent,
and they have in addition to long
tall powerful sucker, by which they
cling to seaweed. When these crea.
lures are irritated they seem to emit
light from all over the body, though
one writer describes one in which the
-hght-red in this case-seemed to radi-
ate from the center of the animal. OF
all the light giving animals the salpa
B said to be the most wonderful. Like
The heteropod, this animal is provided
With claspers that enable 1t to fasten
10 seaweed and rocks. So plentiful are
they in Californian waters that the
Santa Catalina channel, which is from
eighteen to twenty miles wide and
about forty-five miles long, is at times
literally covered with them as far as
the eye can reach. Covering the entire
surface and cleaning like gems in the
sunlight, they present a beautiful pic
ture. These animals constitute a del
icacy much sought for by whales.
Some Of them shed sllvery light,
while others yield blue and others red

Hard water.

A farm woman In Pennsylvania once
said to me, Il never hear any one sing
The Old Oaken Bucket without q
shudder." For fifteen years she had
done the cooking and washing for a
family Of six with no other water sup
ply than what she had hauled out Of
Q well nearly thirty feet deep by means
Of q bucket. Baths In winter were al
most out Of the question, and even in
the summer they were regarded as an
occasi0n Of more than ordinary impor-
tance. for which preparations had to

Lincoln and Hi. Beard.

It was child who persuaded Abra.
ham Lincoln to wear beard. Up to
the time he was nominated for presi.
dent he had always been smooth shaw
en-. A little girl living in Chautauqua
county. N. Y. who greatly admired
him, made up her mind that he would
look better II he wore whiskers and
with youthful directness wrote and told
him so. He answered her by return
mail:
Springfield. ILL.,. Oct. 10, 1850.
Miss Grace Bedell:
Ny Dear Little Miss-Your very agree
able letter of the 18th is received. I re-
gret the necessity Of saying have no
daughter. I have three sons-one seven
teen, one nine and one seven years of
ago. They. with their mother: consti-
eute my whole family As to the whisk-
ers. never having worn any, do you not
think people would call 1t piece Of silly
efectatton II I were to begin it now?
Your very sincere wellwisher.
Evidently on second thought he de-
cided to follow her advice. On his
way to Washington his train stopped
at the town where she lived. He ask
ed II she were in the crowd gathered
ct the station to meet him. OF course
she was, and willing hands forced a
way for her through the mass Of REQ
pie. When she reached the car Mr..
Lincoln stepped from the tsain, kissed
her and showed her that he had taken
her advice.-St. Nicholas.

Straw Rope swin<.,

Korea is perhaps the Oldest country
In the world, and the customs and ac-
tions that go to make up the daily life
Of the people are not at all governed
BY the logic or tradition which moves
~ on our enlightened way. They have
No clearly regulated sports, nothing ap-
parently that could be likened to a
national game. They pass most of
their recreation hours swinging in
straw rope swings and seem entirely
happy in the sport. The straw rope,
II we'll made, is extremely durable and
can stand considerable weight, as may
be judged when three ,ablebodied
young men impose their weight upon
the swing. standing ON the shoulders
Of one another after the manner of
acrobats. 1t may be very fine pastime,
but the average American, it is safe to
ray. would find in it very little appeal.

Plant. That Take Pills.

A very large and sturdy orange tree
was growing in a small pot. IF that
tree" said the florist, didn't take pills
It would require a pot as big as &
bathtub to grow In. But it takes pills
like hypochondriac. Chemists, agri-
cultural experts. make plant pills
pills NO bigger than chestnuts that con-
tain sustenance for six months, a kind
Of tabloid food. These chemists an
alyze plants ash and make pills Of
the constituent salts. The pills, in
closed In a metal cover, are buried In
the earth at the plants roots. and the
salts gradually dissolve and. dnuse
through the metal. giving the plants
day by day the sustanance that they
require. Pills are also applied to weak,
sickly plants. which they help WONDER

Origin Of the Balloon.


The word balloon means "a large
ball" To Montgolder of Annonay.
France, the invention Of the balloon Is
credited. It is said that he was led to
turn his attention to balloon making
from the following incident: A French
laundress, wishing to dry pettfcoat
quickly, placed It On q basket work
frame over stove. To prevent the
heat from escaping by the opening at
the top Of the petticoat she drew the
belt strings closely together and tied
them. Gradually the garment dried
and became lighter. and as the stove
continued to give out heat and rarely
the air concentrated under the basket
work frame the petticoat began TO
move and finally rose in the afr. This
30 astonished the laundress that she
ran to her neighbors and asked them
to come and witness the strange sight
Montgolfer was among those that
came in. The petticoat suspended in
midair suggested greater things to
him, and he returned home with
something to think about" He at
once began studying works on differ
ent kinds OF atmosphere and the In
vention Of the balloon was the result

The Endle.. Procession.

4 myriad Of men are born. They Ia.
Dor and sweat and struggle for bread:
they squabble and scold and fight; they
scramble for little mean advantages
over each other; age creeps upon them;
infirmities follow; shames and humilia.
tons bring down their prides and their
vanities; those they love are taken
from them, and the joy Of life is turn
ed to aching grief. The burden Of pain,
care, misery, grows heavier year by
year; at length ambition is dead, pride
Is dead; vanity is dead; longing for re-
lease is in their place. 1t comes at
last-the only imprisoned gift earth
ever had for them-and they vanish
from world where they were Of no
consequence; where they achieved moth
ing; where they were mistake and a
failure and foolishness. There they
have left no sign that they have ex-
isted-a world which will lament them
q day and forget them forever. Then
another myriad takes their place, and
copies all they did, and goes along the
same proftless road. and vanishes as
they vanished-to make room for an
other. and another, and million other
myriads, to follow the same arid path
through the same desert and accom-
plish what the first myriad and an the
myriads that came after it accomplished
-nothing.-From Mark Twain's Auto
biography in North American Review.

Du.tstorms That Bury rore.t..

Travellers in 4ibet describe the won
derful storms Of dust that occur in
Kashgaria, near the foot Of the Kuen-
Lun mountains. The dust in the air is
sometimes SO dense that complete dark
ness prevails. Occasionally rain falls
during such storm, but the raindrops
evaporate during their descent, and the
dust carried with them falls in humps.
Entire forests of poplar trees are buried
In GIss Lillol.-., roi y r.:att ,..,!l. -ae,c
deposits Of dust are afterward moved
on by the wind, but the trees that have
been buried die, even after their dis
interment.

4 Black Mast,

Most trading steamers which wish to
study ecouol-!y and effect have their
aft mast painted black. If they did
not the mast would soon be sullied
by smoke and would look very dirty
In consequence. The smoke from the
vessels funnel is carried backward by
the forward motion of the vessel, and
the mast would look grimy if it was
painted any other color than black.

Only Turbines to Be

New York, Dee. %. A cable to the
Sun from London says; The Admiralty
has decided to discard thereciprocating
engines and in future fit all British war
ships with turbines.
The cause Of the departure of the
naval construction has been the great
success of the Dresdnaught and the
fact that the deficiencies in turbines as
applied to warships gradually are being
overcome. Other navies are closely
watching the progress of the British,
and, following the English navy, are
beginning to adopt the turbing Rus
STA, is believed to be laying down two
hugeaturbinc battleships.
British experts belie9a those navies
which neglect the turbine principle will
be left behind They regard the recip-
rocating engines as cut OF date, and eX-
press surprise thgt tn, United States
at present is laying down two big bat
tleshirs which are to lie fitted with re
ciprocating engines.

within a stones throw of some Of the

wonderful camp, yesterday returned 10
his ranch home moderately wealthy
man and with d good part of his hold
ings turned into cash.
Mr.. Woollcy is most enthusiastic
over the prospects of the Blackho
district and Of the Amalgamated Ne
vada company, which now owns every
important strike in the district He
says the stock of the company, now
selling on the New York and Boston
curbs around So. 50 a share, has not suff-
cred in the least from the general
slump caused by the Nipissing deal and

stock change hands.

entire water shed of so miles on either
