GREEN SUN OF EGYPT.
Curious Phenomenon to Be Seen Only
In That Land.

Perhaps It is the sun. and not the
moon, that is made of green cheese.
The appearance of a green light at
sunset, like many other phenomena
supposed to have only recently at
tracted attention, was noticed and
commented upon by the ancient Egyp-
tan, and more particularly so because
In the clear air OF Egypt the tints Of
sunset are peculiarly distinct.
AS the sun there descends nearer
and nearer the horizon. and is inn
mensely enlarged and flaming, it sud
denly becomes, for an instant, a bril-
hantly green color aud Immediately a
series of green rays suffuses the sky
In many directions. well nigh to the
zenith. The same phenomenon a)-
pears at sunrise. but to a smaller ex-
tent. Sometimes. just as the last part
OF the SUMS disk vanishes. its color
changes from green to blue. and so
also after it had disappeared the sky
near the horizon often is green, while
toward the zenith it is blue.
This was alluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem of life.
and night that of death, and the noe
turnal sun, being identified with
Osiris, thus rendered Osiris king of
the dead. The setting sun was green.
therefore Osiris, as the nocturnal
deity Of the dead, was painted green.
The splendid collins of the high priests
OF Ammon frequently depict the green
sun and the funeral deities are all col
ored green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egyptian relics of representations
relative to death being colored green.
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints of sunrise and sunset
The green sun disk is referred to 5000
years ago in Egypt. This is the earliest
known human record of an astronomi-
cal phenomenon.

LIVING BY THE COMPASS.
New and Quaint Theory That Is Held
by French Mystic.

A quaint theory is that a French
mystic, who holds that the four points
OF the compass have an influence on
human health and well-being. Travel
ing westward, asserts this authority.
Induces melancholy; travelling east,
ward brings cheerfulness: southwark
languor and irritability, and north
ward calmness. 1t is a question OF
electrical currents, and the influence
is felt not only when travelling. but
nlSo when at home. The best posture
for working is to face either north or
east. says the Frenchman. In these
positions you receive positive waves
OF electricity, the negative currents
coming from the other two points.
south and west. Even the sleep is i'm

SERPENT IN NEVADA LAKE.
Two Men Affirm That They Have Seen
the Reptile.

A report from Walker lake states
that q monster sea serpent has been
seen at northern end OF the lake. Dan
Cornelison, mining man of good rep
utation for veracity, brought the story
to Goldfeld. Cornelison says that
both he and a companion named John
McCorry sighted the reptile while FISH
ing from a boat half a mile from the
northern shore Of the lake. The mon
ster was then making its way toward
the east shore of the lake. Cornell
son says that at first sight he took the
serpent for man in a skin, and when
disappeared for a moment he
thought the boat had capsized, and
rowed toward the spot, when 1t sud
denly reappeared. giving them a good
view of its proportions, which they
estimated to be about 30 feet in length
and feet across the back. Another
resident of that vicinity. a man named
Peters, is said to have discovered the
serpent sometime ago reposing In
shallow water near the shore, and on
being aroused 1t disappeared in deeper
water. There is also said to be a le-
gead among the Piutes around Shurz
concerning the existence of a serpent
in Walker lake.-Sacramento Bee.

Duration Of Animal Life.

A great variance as to length of life
appears among different animals.
Some insects live only for few hours,
while fish. elephants and turtles are
frequently centenarians. The average
life OF the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the age OF about
10 years, while carp have been known
to reach a hundred and fifty. Chickens
live from IL to Is years; dogs 20 the
age OF 10 and occasionally Is, and par
rots to extreme age. These birds have
been known to pass the age of 200
years. Turtles are also frequently CEN
tenarians. as are storks. and elephants
are said to reach the age of 300 years.

Protection for French Wives.

an Of Marseilies. the mother of seven

the magistrate that her husband COM
PEELED her to work from IS to 20
hours a day. The magistrate ruled
that the joint earnings or production
OF husband and wife are, under law,
not wages. but something for the COM
mon good Of a family. Yet the state
does not contemplate that where
wife both rears a family and aids in
her husbands affairs she shall have
less protection both as to her income
and strength than an employee. AS a
matter of reason she should have
more protection. Without having spe-
cited support of the law for his ruling,
he held that the wife cannot be COM
PEELED to work more than ten hours
day, and that she must have a full
Sunday OF rest. The husband appealed
the case, but the decision OF the Mar
settles magistrate was sustained.

Satisfied.

Every man shall receive his own
reward. according to his own labor.
Not according to his talents and on
portunities. but to the use made of
them; not to the harvest that is
reaped, but to the seed sown; not ac-
cording to his gifts, not according to
the worldly applause he may have
won, but according to his labor. This
meets the case of every disciple. as
well the poorest as the richest. as
well the obscurist as the greatest as
well the servant with one talent as
the servant with five. Only be faith
tui to your trust, and when the labor
OF the day is over, and you go up
