EARLY LEAD PENCILS.

The first pencils used for drawing purposes in Europe were queer composition of tin and lead. All the great artists of that period made illustrious by Michael Angelo were devoted to these stiles" as they were termed, and some of the most famous paintings preserved in our museums of today were originally blocked out and drawn in with these pewter pencils. They seemed to serve their purpose admirably, and
 1t was not until many years later, centuries really, that the perfect drawing pencil was invented. The pewter ones were not called lead
 pencils, however, but "molybdoids. "

THE DREAD RED DEATH
Fanqs of the Blood Snake of Central America Fatal to All Who Are
 Stricken.

It will be remembered that Edgar Allan Poe, in his ''Masque of the Red Death" described a plague, the main symptom of which was a bleed ing from the pores of the body.
 In Central American the Red Death is personified in the Blood Snake, or, as the Spaniards call it., Vivora Sangre. This snake is of a red-tinged black on the back, while underneath 1t Is of bright vermil- ion. It's deadly work Is easily rec ognizeable in the condition of the victim. An Indian cattleman, find ing a COW bleeding at the nose, eyes and ears, and perSpiring blood at every pore, does not hesitate to blame it on Vivora Sangre. Unfortunate ly, the effect upon the human being is the same, and our Indian friend quite realizes it when he lights a cheroot, gathers his blanket around him, and stoically sits down to await the meeting with his forefathers.

FOUND GREAT CAVE.

The gold prospectors recently dis covered in the Santa Susanna noun tains, about fifty miles from Los Angeles, Cal, the largest and most remarkable cave in western America
 While looking for indications of gold they found an opening. The opening led to great cavern con- sisting of many passages, some of them wide, but most of them mar row and lofty. The passages led into great halls, some containing an acre, studded with stalagmites and stalacites, in some cases 50 thlckly that 1t is difficult to get through. The walls of one of these halls are covered with rude drawings, some alomst obliterated, but others still clear. The drawings represent incl dents of the chase, showing Indians on foot pursuing bear, deer and other animals One wall painting shows the bear pursuing the hunter.

WATCH FOR THE BLIND.

On the face of one of the latest watches designed for the use of blind people the hours are indicated by movable buttons in relief on the dial. The strong pointer shows the minutes The blind person passes his finger over the dial; the button indicating the hour he finds to be depressed, while the position of the hand gives the minutes. The but tons are held by circular plate be- meath the dial, which has at one point on its circumference a notch into which the buttons drop, one after the other, as the plate re- wolves with the movement of the works. This plate serves instead of the ordinary hour hand of a watch.

PEW RIGHTS IN ENGLAND.

The legality of a claim to a fam fly pew was raised at Carlisle Con- sistory court yesterday.
 Permission was granted for alter ations to Hesket church, Cumber- land, which will necessitate the re- moyal from the chancel of family pew, the occupants of which ap- piled for fresh pew in its place.
 The applicant, Captain James, of Barrock Lodge, claimed that his family had used the pew for nearly a hundred years, and that they had ancestors buried beneath it.
 Chancellor Prescott ruled that the family had no legal right to the pew. The privilege had been grant ed to a former owner of Barrock Lodge, and could not be transferred to subsequent owners of the estate. London Daily Mail.

THE GREAT WORLD FUTURE.

It grows clearer every day that east and west are never to fuse; that the far east is not to become Occi- dentaHzed; that Japan or China, or Japan and China together, will sooner or later make the China seas no place for the colonizing or pio- neering European. There will be great powers there as we'll as in Europe and America. It is our in- terest to keep a watchful eye on this transformation, and, forgetting old theories and prejudices, to shape our policy to meet new and unex- smplsd situation.-LOndon Specta-

CURIOSITY IN BULGARIA.

Prof. De Launay says that there is in Bulgaria a group of natural columns much like the Giants Causeway in Ireland. On the edge of a plateau in the open country rises this forest of natural columns, which gives the impression of an an- tique ruin. The columns, which are about fifteen to twenty feet high, are absolutely cylindrical, and they are often as much as three feet thick. The stratifcation of the rock resembles joints, and vertical erosion due to rain has formed Doric fut- ings.
