THE PLANET URANUS.
Oddities n Voyage TO This Gigantic
World Would Disclose.

Oddities n Voyage TO This Gigantic
World Would Disclose.
If Uranus, which is star OF about
the sixth magnitude, were planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year, it could not have
much claim upon popular attention,
but Uranus Is really a gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1,700,000,000
miles from the earth, Is what causes
it to look so small. Uranus has four
moons, which revolve backward in
their orbits-that is to say, they re-
yolve from east TO west around Uran-
US, while Uranus goes, like all the 9TH
er planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus
rotates backward on its axis also.
Moreover the axis of that great,
strange globe lies in such n direction
that in the course of its year, which
IS equal TO eighty-four OF our years,
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole and then upon the
other Measured by our time stand
ard, there are forty years of constant
daylight, followed by forty years of
unbroken night around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rises In the
west and sets in the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranus-only one four-hundredth
as large as it appears to us. Still it
sheds upon that planet 1900 times as
much light MS the full moon sends to
the earth, so that daylight upon Uran-
us, while faint compared with the
blaze of terrestrial MONDAY, is new
ertheless very respectable kind Of
illumination.

A Human snInmnnder.

Some years ago Spaniard named
Marines gave one of the most extraor-
dlnary exhibitions on record. 1t was
at the New Tivoli, in Paris, in the
presence of an audience of scientific
men, who placed its genuineness be-
yond doubt. \ large oven had been
heated by furnace for several hours.
This the Spaniard entered, clothed in
flannel trousers and shirt, large cloak

was roasted by his side and at the end
OF fifteen minutes came out again, tho
temperature registered being between
2o2 degrees and 312 degrees f., or
about 100 degrees above the tempera-
ture of boiling water. lie entered the
oven u second time and ate The fowl
which had been roasted beside him.
After short pause he was shut in,
living on n board surrounded by can
dies. After awhile the audience raised
cry Of Enough" The door was
opened. The oven was found to be
full OF noxious, suffocatlng odor Of boil
Ing tallow, the sole survival of the
candles. The Spaniard came out and
after cold bath was we'll and strong.
His pulse when. the door was first
opened beat 170 to the minute.

Result OF a Doctors Compact With
an Insane Patient

Result OF a Doctors Compact With
an Insane Patient
DR.. A. did not believe In forcible re-
straint for the insane. Therefore, as
head Of an insane asylum where per-
sonal influence was made to take the
place of bolts and bars and shackles,
he was kept busy maA. One patient
in particular was young boy continu-
ally complained of at headquarters be-
cause he refused to wear his clothing,
preferring to tear it into rags.
DR.. A. demonstrated in vain, then
thought out plan Of diplomacy, with
which he approached his patient.
"John," said he, II find am in need
of q boy and thought you might like to
take the position. / want to engage a
boy not to tear clothes. Do you think
you could do that workf"
eyes, / could" said John.
Every well. What wages will you
ask?"
"Twopence day"
The bargain was closed on the spot,
Johns destroyed clothing having cost
the asylum POUNDS Wnere MS wages
were pennies. From Monday to Satur-
day John was model laborer, receiv-
ing at the end of each day his wage
with the other workmen about the asy-
lum. Sunday came, and with it Johns
mania. He had not a whole rag on his
back when DR.. A. was called upon to
speak to him.
'How did this happen, John?" he
asked. Weren't you engaged to work
for me? You have broken your con-
tract"
Il have not, sir" asserted John, with
warmth. Didn't I work for you all
the week? Today's Sunday, and I'll be
hanged IL work for any man on Sun
day."-Pearson's Magazine.

"a ground hog case" is a case of
absolute nccessity-one in which the
reward of perseverance is certain and
the necessity for perseverance is Inn
perative. It's origin is told in this sto-
ry: A boy was seen digging vigorously
in which a ground hog had taken ref
uge. He was asked If he thought he
would get the ground hog, to which he
replied with scorn: "Catch him? Why.
yes; I'm bound to catch him; we're out
Of meat."-St. Louis Republic.

Natures Perch Clamp.

Chickens and other birds roosting on
a perch no bigger than a lead pencil
never fall off. Do you know whyf'
said a farmer.
THE tendon of roosting birds leg
Is so constructed that when the leg Is
bent at the knee the claws have to con-
tract-can't open till the leg is straight
ened out again.
"Thus chicken gets on its perch,
bends its knee to be comfortable and
with that bending locks itself, as with
key, to the wood. 1t can't fall Off.
Put chicken on your finger and then
make it sit down. Its claws will clamp
your finger tight and be unable TO let
go until the bird stands up again. Ma
ture, very kindly, has so constructed
roosting birds that the act of settling
down clamps them to their perch"

No. 90.

cakes of ancient history are plain and
simple. 1t il only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear Of
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious Ingredients in which
present day cakemakers delight. In
Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
stir into the cake of the period.

Sheliey,s Heart.

A well known and very prominent
English family are the possessors of a
remarkable relic in the shape Of a hui
man heart preserved in a jar of alco-
hol. 1t appears that Shelley, the poet,
feared that there was a chance of be-
ing buried alive. TO guard against
any such contingency he left direc-
tions that his heart should be removed
Immediately after death. The queer
relic may still be seen by any one who
visits Bascombe manor, Bournemouth,

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancicnts Made and Ate IL, but 1t
Mna a simple AnaIr.

The anclents made cake but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla-
vored confection which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with -four and water, some Of them
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor.
Some OF them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them as with us. but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was q special fea-
ture Of Roman marriages 1000 years
ago. The breaking OF the cake was
part OF solemn ceremony. All OF the
