HOLLAND BULB TRADE IMMENSE.
Over 10000 Acres Devoted to Raising
Tulips and Hyacinths.

An industry characteristic Of the
Netherlands is the raising of tulip
and hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have
been made in several parts Of the
world to grow these. but nowhere can
the experiment be said to have been
successful, as the proper kind of soil
for propagation OF perfect bulbs seems
only to exist in the small space OF ter
ritory between the cities of Leyden
and HARLEM.
. This stretch of country is in reality
the bottom of the old Haariem sea.
which was laid dry about the year
1852, and this sea-bottom dirt, COM
bination of sand and decomposed vege-
tables and plants, appears to be the
only soil capable Of producing the
flower bulbs mentioned.
These bulbs are exported to all parts
of the world; the demand is constantly
Increasing, and an increased area -
from year to year set apart to the cul-
tivation of bulbs. The statistics for
1906, the latest available, give this
area as 4,o5S hectares, equal to lo.027
acres.

The lnauisitixe Man.

Wet paint as test of human curios-
tty has q rival in the chewing gum
slot. The apparatus at the One Hun
dred and Tenth street subway station
was out of order the other morning
The first person to discover thesfact
was a small boy with yearning for
gum He confidently dropped penny
In the slot, but the toothsome wafer
held coyly back. Repeated thumpings
and shakings failed to induce. 1t to APP
pear, and the boy, looking disconso-
late, was finally persuaded by his
mother to go downtown without 1t. A
dozen or more persons had witnessed
his futile attempt to coax out piece
Of gum, but they were in no wise de-
TERED from following his example.
Evidently each thought his prede-
cessor had not manipulated the ma
chine properly, and that he could do
better. for before the next express
train came along five men who appar
entity had never known what chewing
gum tasted like had sacrificed pen
MES on the altar Of their curiosity

ARE MASTERS OF EvAs,vEnEss.
Bedouin's Answer Typical Of the Peo-
Pile Of the East.

In the far east, when men converse
together, an evasion is equal to an
answer. Riding down to Egypt over
the old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and 4 party
pitched their tents outside Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws of hospitality which
the people so religiously maintain.
Mr.. Duncan, writing in Harpers Mag
azine, says that he was obliged to turn
aside their reproaches-and avoid the
abominable quarters which were still
being offered. Turning to his guide.
he said: THE man must be diverted.
Ask him II the world is round or
nat" The reply was a pure philoso-
piers jewel of the east. IF the world
Is nat" came the response. after
heavy bordering, Il am content; If 1t
Is round, 1t is by Gods WISDOM And
tho men softly applauded. in their
pleasure forgetting their injury. for
getting everything except the Joyous
native craft OF words.

PERIOD OF REST PROCLAIMED.
Absence Of Light Regulates the Hours
Of Siumber.

II 1t were always daytime, We should
never sleep. So says scientist. ac-
cording to Answers. There is no par
ticular reason why we. or any other
animals. should rest, on an average,
eight or nine hours day.
The period OF rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours Is
the average time when there Is
lack Of sufficient light to enable us to
move about in comfort.
This most fundamental distinction
between night and day is wholly rela-
tive to the sense of sight 1t only
affects those types of life which have
developed eyes.
Plants, being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays of sun
light which fall upon their leaves.
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions.
They eat and digest In the light,
and grow during the hours of dark
ness.
The lowest forms of animal life
the sightless denizens Of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals
They prowl around necessarily. seek
ing prey by the sense of touch alone.
When they rest, 1t is at irregular Pc
RODS. In other words, they have no
distinct periodicity of their own.
But as soon as eyes are developed,
and in proportion to this development,
animals begin to divide their time into
two main portions-a waking and
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform ali motive functions,
When darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest.

An Ancient "rwopenny Tube"

A great tunnel which has lately
been found at Gezer, in the land OF
the Philistines, in Palestine, was de
scribed at the annual meeting Of the
Palestine Exploration Fund. Prof.
Macalister, whose son has been max
ing the excavations, said that the tun-
mel. which was made about 1000 B. c..
is as high as the "Twopenny Tube"
and half as wide. 1t descends by 80
steps, the lowest of which is 1870 feet
below ground. In 1t is well. The
tunnel is the greatest engineering
work that has been found in Palestine,
and has astonished every one who
has seen it.-St. James Gazette.
