Immense Ocean Desert

Directly west of South America, be-
ginning about 900 miles from its
shore, extending little north Of the
parallel Of latitude and covering an
area of about 100000 square miles,
lies an ocean desert, vast region as
large as Russia, in which there is no
plant or living creature, in the sea
or beneath 1t.
The water throughout this i'm
mense district is comparatively shall
low, averaging about 200 fathoms, it
being in reality an immense volcanic
plateau. The dredge of the United
States sounding boat Albatross, dur
ing a six months cruise in 19O4-5,
found nothing there but manganese
rock and volcanic lava, worn smooth
by the action Of the water.
Day after day the dredge of the
Albatross brought up bushels of
these, varying in size from that of a
large cannon ball to that Of a pea.
The ocean plateau is almost as
level as a billiard board, daily sound
ings showing a variation of hardly
200 fathoms in 1000 miles.
Not a vestige of life, plant or ami
NAL, was found there. Even the sur
face life, which generally teens in
the waters of tropical ATTITUDES, was
absent. The water over it is practi-
caliy~@ dead"-without current.-De-
troit News-Trlbune.

Mules With Empire Waists. {"

Three hundred mules with Empire
waists and chest measurements of
sixty-one inches are preparing for a
tour of India. A British officer, with
an eye to beauty in the mule line, is
here picking them up. The party will
sail in December, and this will be a
chance for those rovers who turn up
when the British want muleteers to
get ride in transport to Calcutta.
This is as far as the mules will be
taken by the muleteers, but they
themselves are to go up the Hima-
laya Mountains.
India, being a fearfully hot place,
Is Stunned by the aristocratic officers
of the contingent Of the army there.
The poor subaltern spends his leave
of absence on the coast, where It is
cheap; the real swell goes to the Him
alayas. There Ii where the Mis-
souri, mules are going. Their bag.
gage will consist of machine guns and
ammunition. They will travel In par
ties, one carrying a small cannon, an.
other a pair of wheels for 1t, another
the carriage and the balance will
carry ammunition.
The Empire waist" means a short
coupled mule. The British army buy
er's rule is for head like a picture,
legs like bars of iron and feet like
masons' mells, short in his coupling
and intelligent" To this is added, in
the mule department, a chest meas
urement of sixty-one inches.-Kansas

PaIImpsest Brasses.

The reformation in England dur
ing the sixteenth century, and the
wave of puritanism which followed,
resulted in the destruction Of much
church furniture and ornament--in
many cases amounting to complete
plundering or destruction of what
ever was valuable. Among other
things memorial brasses were often
stripped from old tombs, and 1t has
been thought that this was due to
general dislike to the form of record.
But lately a number of palimpsest-
or used over - brasses have been
found in EngliEh churches, and their
occurrence suggests that the destruc-
ton of old brasses did not follow re-
ligious scrupleS, but that the brass
was taken up AID sold, often to be
turned over and the reverse side en-
graved in memoTy Of some person re-
Gently buried. AS the brasses are
usually engraved with an effigy of the
deceased person, and cut to the shape
of the engraving. 1t would not always
be possible to alEsr an ancient NOM
orial, but often il could be done. A
rarer form of adaptation was to use
the brass without reversal, adapting
the ancient effigy to the require
ments of the time, crests or incongru-
Gus attire being cut away, and new
details worked in 70 take their place.

The Emotions and Health.

If person is dominated for a mo-
ment by, say, passion of anger
there is set up in the physical organ
ism what we might justly term bod
lily thunderstorm, which has the effect
of souring, or rather coFToding, the
normal, healthy and life-Eiving secre-
lions OF. the body, SO tina. instead OF
performing their natural functions
they become poisonous and destruc-
tive. And If this goes on 70 any great
extent, by virtue of their cumulative
influences, they give rise t. a particu-
lar form of disease which IN turn be-
comes chronic. So the emotion oppo-
site to this, that OF kindlihess, love,
benevolence, tends to stimulate a
healthy, purifying and life-giv-
ing flow of all the bodily 9ecretions.
All the channels Of the body seem
free and open; the life forces go
bounding through them. And these
very forces, set into bounding activ-
ity, will in time counterfeit poisonous
and disease-giving effects Of their on.

Emneror MlIlIam,s Cards.

The German Emperor believes in
being sufficiently represented, even on
a visiting card. No ordinary sized
piece OF pasteboard will suffice him,
for Williams cards measure no less
than six inches in length and four in
width. On the upper line is the single
word Wilhelm" and below are the
words de fischer Kaiser" and KONG
Won Yreussen." The words are print
ed in large, fat, German script let
tiers. or course, the Emperor does
not carry these imposing sheets OF
pasteboard himself; they are contided
to his chasseur, or body servant, who
follows him.
The other sovereigns OF Europe are
content with more modest visiting
cards, with the words upon them in
Latin script Among the simplest in
size and appearance are those of the
Emperor of Austria and the Prince Of
Wales. The prince has two sets OF
cards, one for use abroad and others
for England. The English one bears
the words The Prince of Wales" the
other the French equivalent, Prince
de Gales. "-Tit-Bits.

The Passing Hawaiian.

In 1886. the Hawalians numbered
over 100000, and in 1900 there were
Jess than 100000 At present, l am
told, there are less than 10000. This
decrease in population may be &C,
counted for in many ways, but their
lack Of regard for the common laws
of health is perhaps accountable for
many deaths. They are clearly about
their persons, but often their homes,
especially in the outlying districts, are
unsanitary, and they fall an easy prey
to disease. In 1S48 great numbers
died of measles, and several times
smallpox has decimated their ranks.
They are sensitive race-klnd and
gentle in disposition, but indolent, i'm
provident and pleasure lowing and so,
with "Aloha!" Greeting of love) on
his lips, and smile Of contentment on
his face, the Hawaiian is passing, and

pied with men and women from across

The notion that meat is necessary

Excessive meat eaters are usually

Farmer Finds Mastodon Bone.

While Ora Earhart, living near Vas
car Greek, Salt Greek township, Davis
county, Ia, was repairing water gate
he discovered bone of some one of
the great prehistoric animals that liv-
ed in this country ages ago, probably
that of a mastodon. The bone meas
ures in height feet inches, 10 inch
es in circumference at its smallest.
and 80 inches at the joint. It's weight
is 60 pounds. What is left of it is
in good state of preservation, but it
has been broken or the upper half has
rotted off. This region is noted for
many big bones found within the last
ten years. Mr.. Earhart has offers for
it, but has not made sale as yet.
The fragment is evidently part of d

Inherited Tendencies.

In an able article in the Daily
Chronicle a few days ago, Professor
James Long dealt very frankly with
question which is rapidly becoming
the question of the time--the form
ing of the coming race by the train
ing of mothers. Great point is given
to his appeal by the presentation of
statistics relating to two American
familles-first, that of Jonathan Ed
wards, the theologlan; and second,
that of the ancestor of a race Of
criminals:
"Of thousand descendants in the
first case, AGA were distinguished
men-judges, professors. lawyers,
college presidents, physicians, clergy
men and authors; while of 1900 de-
scendants Of the other, $40 were pro-
fessional paupers, 1870 convicted
criminals, sixty habitual thieves, and
seven murderers, while 400 were
self-wrecked, showing a record Sof
crime, insanity and pauperism al
most without precedent. What pro-
portion of these two results is at
tributable to woman"
Professor Long contends that mod
ern life tends to divide the interests
of fathers and mothers, the former
being content with earning bread and
remaining master of the house, while
the mother is left almost alone to
train, for good or evil, the children.
