The Zetetics.
From the Philadelphia Ledge

Astronomical science as accepted by
| credulous and confiding persons will be
completely demolished if the dissidents who
call themselves Zeteties have their way.
The opponents of the theory of a fiat earth
are sufficiently numerous to establish a
cult and adopt a distinctive designation.
This Is derived from "Zeteo." to search out,
to investigate. Among the things they have
searched out Is convincing and over
wheiming mass of evidence demonstrating
beyond cavil that the sun when directly
overhead is only a few hundred miles dis
tant. instead of 81, 100000 miles as absurd
ly imagined by less deeply informed inves-
tigators.
The zetetics have persuaded themselves
that the sun is about thirty miles In diam
eter. and Is in every respect a very incon-
sequential affair, not worth bothering about.
That the sun do move" around the earth
is one of the fundamental tenets of the
zetetlc doctrine. In its daily circuit above
the fiat and stationary earth. says one of
the textbooks of the British branch of the
society the sun travels about % 900 miles
at the equator. Fun Is poked at the New
tonian theory of gravitation and the curved
shadow of the earth on the moon, as wit
messed during an eclipse is secuted as
that the earth is round.
Lady Blount one of the foremost English
zetetlcs. has Issued a pamphlet which
easily annihiiates this 'so-calied" demon
sraton of the earth's rotundity With her
the shadow of the earth upon the moon is
a pure illusion. This proof lis on it's last
legs. She predicts that before long 1t
will be generally admitted that the period
ical lunar eclipse is no evidence whatever
of the earth's globularity. as now assert
ed in books for the instruction of the young.
The revision of the school books viii not
be accomplished Immediately but Lady
Blount IS encouraged to find that some OF
the opponents of the Zetetics are beginning
to realize that it is not the shadow of the
earth which causes lunar eclipse, for the
reason that the sun and moon have been
seen above the horizon when a lunar eclipse
occurred.

Savings Banks in Mexico.

From the Mexican Herald.
Savings banks are practically unknown
institutions in the city of Mexico. II a
man has small amount to deposit. with
the expectation of being able to add TO It
from time to time, he will be at a loss to
find bank that will be willing TO take
care of his apparently Insignificant sums
and pay him interest on the money that
is thus gradually deposited.
AS matter of fact there are only about
two places in the entire city that will show
any interest in his small savings, one of
these being a little bank for working
people which was organized a couple r
years ago, and the other pace being the
Monte de la Piedad. which receives de-
poslts of any amount and pays per cent.
interest per annum on them. The little
savings bank has had a hard struggle to
maintain itself. 1t is noticeable fact.
however. that the bank in question has few
Mexican working people as depositors, most
of Its patrons being Spaniards who are
working for wages as grocery clerks and
bookkeepers.

Radium and Rabies.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe
The great Italian institution of the Ac-
cademia del Lincei has just made an Inn
portant announcement of Prof. Fizzoni's
claim to have discovered an effective treat
ment by radium for rabies in dogs. The
treatment takes the form of applying
radium to the eye in mica tubes. The
academia fully indorses the professors
claim, and cures We're effected even in ami
mails beginning to exhibit the symptoms
which precede death. The academia adds
that IL is not the emanations but radiation
itself which cures, more especially the
cathode rays. The treatment also sets up a
radioactive state of the brain. which great
ly stimulates the healing process.

Tho Eddie Drill.

The fiddle drilr' Is one Of the Oldest
s~tonecutting tools In existence. 1t is
said to antedate Greek sculpture and
Is In use today in about the same form
as it was 1000 years ago. AS Its name
implies, it's action resembles a fiddle.
The drill is Of two pieces. In ore hand
q carver holds the drill stock, which Is
like a carpenters brace, except that it
is straight instead Of having q crank.
IN the other hand he holds the "bow,"
which Is strung with a brass wire and
which is given a turn around the drill
stock. To use the drill the carver
places the drill stock against his breast,
holding it with his left hand, and with
bis right he draws the bow back and
forth, fiddle fashion. This imparts a
rotary motion to the drill stock, and
the drill is ground to cut in either way
it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the
finest work. In crevices where the
sculptor could not reach with his chisel
and hammer without endangering the
carving.

Arrow Shields.

The other day 1 saw a little, modern
book, In a green cover, on q table In
q drawing rom. I picked IT up. 1t
was about the early French L.. Canada,
and my eye fell OF u copy of q draw
lug by their leader, Champiin, or Cham
plain. The scene represented was an
attack by the native allies OF the
French, the Algonquins, on u fort held
by Iroquols. The A%lgonqufns advanced
through showers Of under
shields nearly as tall as themselves,
like doors with rounded tops. Now,
you may sec exactly the same sort OF
shields in u picture Of q lion hunt, In
laid In gold and silver, on the bronze
blade Of q dagger found by DR.. Schlie-
mann IN 'the grave Of Agamemnon."
These monstrous Mycenaean shields
cause much discussion among the learn
ed. Why were they SO huge? The Al
gonquins used the very same shields,
hung from their necks, and the reason
was the same-their battles were bat
ties Of archers, and nobody can parry
q shower Of arrows with a smaller
shield. Shields grew small in Greece
as bow and arrow went out and sword
and spear came in.-London Illustrat-

It is curious to read that vanilla was

an ingredient In the manufacture of
chocolate prior to the discovery Of
America by the Spaniards and that it
was brought to Europe as a perfume
with indigo, cochineal and cacao ten
years before the arrival Of tobacco on
our shores. The name vanilla is de-
rived from tie Spanish vaina, a pod or
capsule. Dampier described it as a
little pod full Of small black seeds and
like the stem of a tobacco leaf, so much
so that his men when they found the
dried pods at first threw them away
wondering why the Spaniards should
lay up tobacco stems."- Chambers
