ventos maravillosos. Unos medico
de Boston-de Boston es de donde
salen los inventos 1aros y las habi-
chuelas coloradas-sree haber des-
cubierto la existencia del alma, pc
70 por medic de experimento natu-
rales. Han inventado una especie
de sromanaS 6 balanza para pesar
cadavcres. Y dicen que toda psrso-
ma al minute de muerta, pierde ST.
bitamente I'm peso que fiuct1 en-
tire media onza y una onza. Ese
es el peso del alma. Los doctores
a6rman que el alma esta localiza-
da en- el cuerpo, con el coraz6n,
los pulmones, el hfgado etc. Y
que al morir una persona, Sc eva
pora como un hilo. Tenemos,
pues, que el alma pesa, y va no Sc
podra decir aquello de atengo el al
ma en- un humo'; pero en- cambio
Sc podra lamar con propiedad a
un individuo "alma de cantaro".
Los doctores Duncan, Mac
Dougal y Syroue hablan seriamen-
te. Por espacio de scis diios han
hscho-seg1n dicen -notables Sc
ries de experimentos en- I'm sanato-
rio de Boston. Estos doctores de-
claran que el alma existe en- el
cuerpo 10 mismo que existe el cora
z6n, los rinones y demas 6rganos.
Afrman que la diferencia de
peso entire una persona viva y otra
que acaba de expirar es de media
onza a una onza, y que no hay otra
soluclon slno que eSe peso es del al
ina, pues Ell todos los casos esa
perdida ha sido notada despues de
todas las deduciones cientiicas CO.
nocidas, como la perdida de alre al
respirar, humedad y todas las Sc
creciones del cuerpo. Para estar
mas seguros de que esa perdida de
peso no es debida a ninguna pccu-
liaridad fisica, han hecho expe-
rimentos con personas de ambos Sc
KOS. En- todoS los casos la dismi
nuci6n Sc opera al cesar la vida.
Ell metodo para obtener esos
resultados ha sido colocar un pa
ciente va moribundo en- una cana
hecha expresamente con una balan-
IA y sus pesas. Esa balanza estd
construida tan delicadamente que
puede pesar hasta un d&cimo de
onza.
El doctor Duncan ha hecho en-
Ia prensa Ia siguiente manifesto
ci6n:
sDurante mi larga practica en-
los hospitales, y habiendo tenido
que asistir a muchos pacientes mo-
ribundos, mi curiosidad su aumen-
taba cada vez mas por conocer el
misterio de hufda de la vida y como
podrfa encontrar una luz que me
explicase ese misterio. La Green
cia general es de que cuando una
persona muere 81 esp{ritu 8 el alma
sigue vivisndo. Y me hacfa esta
deduction: 81 contin1a su vida en-
otra existencia 6 puede vivir en- el
espacio, es una fuerza y tiene que
ocupar algdn espacio, porque todo
cuerpo 10 ocupa; en- ese. case tiene
peso.

A North Atlantic Curiosity.

SIN the midst of the north Atlantic
there is an enormous field Of floating
seaweed which kept it's place presum-
ably for centuries said an old sea
captain. at occupies an immense
eddy about the fifty sixth degree Of
west longitude and between the TWEEN
ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees Of
north latitude. There is great differ
ence Of opinion regarding the origin Of
this floating mass. Some believe it to
be detached from rocks at a c0nSidera-
BILE depth in the latitude where it
floats. Others suppose it to come from
the shores of the northern seas, having
been detached from the rocks by the
violence of the winds. Some again i'm
agine that it comes from the rocky
shores, of Florida and Mexico, while
many others agree with me in believ-
ing that it has never had any other
than it's present place Of abode No
one has ever seen it attached to rocks,
nor have roots ever been discovered
belonging to it,

tried to light fire. with small success.

Made n Gorilla King.

The craze among society women for
queer pets Is an old story. 1t usually
ends through being carried too far.
There is the case Of Andromeda, for in
stance, and there is that other affair of
the decadent Roman emperor's daugh-
ter, who had pet gorilla, procured for
her at great cost by an Arabian trader
who supplied strange beasts for the
amphitheater. One day the Praetorian
guard arose and murdered the caesar.
The gorilla, who happened to be pres
ent, strangled the ringleader, who was
to have assumed the imperial purple
himself, with it's bare hands. This so
delighted the Praetorians that they
unanimously elected the gorilla, whom
they took for a barbarian from North
Britain, to the vacant throne. On the
mistake being explained by geologic
ally minded patrician, the divus caesar
had to be killed and another one cho-

cIever With the Cards.

Some years ago certain county Jail
was undergoing extensive alterations,
during which time gang of pickpock-
cts, four in number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for time in one
cell, but were placed under strict sur
veillance, the care of them being spe-
cially intrusted to the sergeant. The
day after during his rounds he spied
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned a fell
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners were most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However, the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
pickpOclIets were to be sent to the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintend-
ent, a very kind man and a great ia
vorite with every one, asked them as
a favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
in his pocket and picked it again be-
fore he left, as a proof Of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson's Weekly.

The Old Roman Epicures.


Almost any dish which had to rec
ommend it rarity, costliness, indigesti-
bility and, to our way Of thinking, mas
tiness was sure to take with the Ro-
man epicure. And if he were unable
to made it costly any other way he
would add powdered precious stones or
gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion
from a peacock which was sprinkled
with diamond dust, and specimens of
that bird dressed with gold or with
crushed pearls were by no means q
rarity at the triclnia of the moneyed
was a great delicacy. But dish Of
parrots tongues which had been capa-

which the Roman epicure was In the
habit Of paying fabulous prices was
the phenecoptrix, which Is believed to
have been the ptarmigan. 1t had It's

Scotland and Norway, and as this
made it hard to get at the Romans ap-

What a Mans Beard Tells.

"You can tell some of mans habits
and read some of his traits of charac-
ter from his beard" said the old bar
Der. IF man spends his days at a
desk beside window his hair and
beard will grow faster OH the side to-
ward the window Plants and boards
both flourish under the influence Of
sunlight Why, one of my customers
found the effects of the side light so
pronounced that he changed his office
desk to face the window. Another in
teresting fact is that when a man is
up late or works long hours, he needs
a shave oftener than if he took the
usual amount Of sleep. That's because
in being awake he keeps the vital proc
esses Of his body in greater activity
than when asleep. The growth Of the
hair depends largely on the circulation
of the blood, and the heart slows down
when we sleep. Kansas City Star.

At one time, when De Quincy was
living at Lasswade in simple and
friendly relations with the people, who
respected him not as writer, but as
a good neighbor, he formed very de-
lightful friendship with a little child
a boy of four years. This lad, a
nephew of one of the housemaids, was
the constant companion of the great
man and would forsake any amuse-
ment for the pleasure of walking
round dull little garden with him.
One day somebody heard this CONVEX
sation between the two comrades:
"What dye call thon tree?" asked
the child.
De Quincy considered and then
said, with careful elaboration, IL am
not sure, my dear, but think it may
be a laurustinus."
The child interrupted him with some
scorn: ga laurustinus! Lad, dye no
ken a rhododendron?
At that time the "lad' must have
been about seventy years old.
