HOW WE ARE FORMED.
A Few CT the Many MarveIs Of the hu-
man Body.

A Few CT the Many MarveIs of the Hu-
man Body.
On an average h:;,li's body there are
100000 hairs nlucsing one every sec
oud it would :ike him twelve eight
hour working days to pull them all out.
In his blood til.re are $4,000. .000, 600, 900
red corpuScleS. Laid out side by side
they would cover i surface Of 3,13O
square yards.
The whole OF the blood passes through
i mans heart nearly twice in every
minute. 1t weighs onc-thirteenth Of
the entire body weight. and it moves
In different parts of the body 1T speeds
varying from ten feet to 1.G66 yards
(Eearly one mile IN hour.
The fat OF your body is fluid. 1t be-
comes solid only when the body cools
after death. 1t is one Of your most
useful constituents, forming L noncon-
Quoting sheath to project you from
ceId, acting us pads to preserve from
shock, on the tips Of the fingers, the
toes and the heels and lying always
ready as a reserve food supply when
you can get nothing to eat.
4 little artery passes from your brain
through the skull into the scalp, which
acts as a safety valve when the brain
is congested with blood.
The skin cannot grow again once
it is destroyed; hence the unsightly
scars left by burns and severe wounds.
Only the surface layer can renew
itself. When the whole thickness is de-
stroyed, it never reforms. This Is the
more curious as muscles, nerves, blood
vessels and bones, all less liable to in
jury than the skin, can grow again.
You are really water rather than
land animal. Although as whole
you live on dry land, your body con-
sists of countless millions Of separate
living particles, and these are all i'm
mersed in the water which constitutes
four-ffths Of your substance.
Within the inner part Of your ear,
deep in the bone, is quantity Of fluid
which acts as spirit level and enables
you to keep your balance.-Chicago

Scot Free.

The Ni2ter Lily.

Almost e> :. ,vLy has observed the
strange characteristic OF the water lily
bud opening It's petals 1T sunrise and
closing them again 1T sunset. 1t was
for this reason mainly that the an
clients held the water lily sacred TO tho
sun. pliny says: 1T is reported that
in the EuphratcS the flower Of the 10
tus plunges into the water at night. re-
naming there till midnight and to such
a depth that it cannot be reached with
the hand. After midnight it begins
gradually to rise, and as the sun rises
above the horizon the flower also rises
above the water, expands and raises
itself some distance above the clement
in which it grows" 1t was also
through this popularity that Hancar-
vile proved that the Egyptians con-
sidered the lily an emblem of the
world as it rose from the waters of the
deep.

FEAR OF GHOSTS.
Harmless Visitors From Whom We All
Shrink In Terror.

Shrink IN ! error.
Decp down in 1he heart Of man there
abides Il firm belief III the power Of the
dead to walk upon the earth and af-
fright. If such he their pleasure. the
souls of tie living. Wise folks, versed
in the sciences and fortified in mind
against faith in aught that savors Of
the supernatural, laugh IDEAS Of the
kind to scorn. yet hardly one of them
will dare TO walk alone through 4
graveyard in the light, or If one be
found so bold he Will surely hasten his
footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the
fear of shccted specters which mag
rise from the grass grown graves OF
emerge from moonlit tombs and follow
on, for, strangely enough, the dead, II
not actually hostile to the living. are
esteemed dangerous and dreadful to
encounter.
It used to be the fashion, says writ
er in Lippincott's Magazine, to sweep
away all such notions by saying that
they had their origin in the childhood
of the race and that they sprang from
fear of the unknown. This unqu
tionably was the easiest way to {.
pose Of them, but wss it fair? The
subject possesses intense interest for
great majority Of mankind, and, though
the existence Of ghosts IS improved,
there is undeniably vast deal Of tes-
timony in their behalf that deserves
serious and respectful consideration.
Fortunately. within the last few years
the attitude Of science toward the
problem has altogether changed. and,
actuated by :: new spirit Of inquiry. the
wise men have been engaged, thought
fully and without prejudice, in study
ing it out.
While it cannot be said that any final
and definite conclusions have as yet
been reached. an immense amount OF
evidence has been Sifted, enough to
show pretty conc!usively for one point
that the traditional specter Of the Cock
Lane school. with clanking chain and
attributes di$agrecably suggestive OF
the grave. has no basis in fact. On the
other hand, there are certain phantoms,
altogether different in their character
istics, in whose behalf :; mass Of testi-
mony is adducc;i far greater than
would be required to establish cen-
plete proof in any ordinary case in
court OF law. Nothing short Of abso-
lutte demonstration in such matter
can be satisfactory. but the evidence
in question certainly Staggers incrc-
dulity
Our fear Of phantoms appears to
spring from Il dread of the unknown.
the mysterious and the intangible
That it is Il groundless terror is proved
by the fact that in many thousands OF
cases OF alleged spectral appearances
subjected during the last few years to
painstalling Investigation not single
instance has been found in which all
injury was inflicted by the ghost upon
the person or persons to whom it pre-
sented itself. So that, even if we are
to accept apparitions rs veritable. we
ought to regard them with curiosity
rather than with apprehension, and III
stead Of trying to-avoid such supernat-
ural visitors we should eagerly seek an
opportunity to be haunted for the sake
Of observing for ourselves phenomena
so intensely interesting.
