brought out by the awful explosion

The StjIetto In Italy.

"The reign of the knife and the sti-
letto, which has been unquestioncd in
Italy for centuries" says the Rome cor
respondent of a Berlin paper, ''is to be
brought to an end. For generations 1t
has been the custom to carry Il knife.
and those men In the lower walks who
had no knife carried sharpened nail
or file to be used on the slightest prov
ocation. The wine is heavy. the blood
of the people Is hot, their power of self
control small. Is it wonder then,
that, with the murderous instrument
always at hand, there should be so
many fatal encounters? But the law
makers have at last discovered that
the morals of the whole nation have
been influenced for the bad by the
knife carrying custom, and laws will
be passed similar to those now in force
in some parts Of the United States of
America making 1t a crime to carry a
deadly weapon"

Then he read:
"'The worthy pastor appeared at the

he turned the leaves of his prayer book
thoughtfully and wiped his glasses
with a distraught air.

Makeup" he said, laughing, "the
days usual harvest of makeup. Why
the deuce, to front the fierce white
light of dental chair, will women
come to me with makeup plastered
thick on their pretty faces? They all,

cheeks rouged, and in few cases the
tiny network of veins in the temples is
outlined in blue. Pegging away at

He Got Homesick.

When Ruben Dario, the new Mica
raguan minister to Spain, arrived in
New York recently on his way to his
new post, he brought with him from
Nicaragua young man as his secre-
tary. The latter had never been so far
away from Managua and at first the
greatness Of the American metropolis
surprised him. Then 1t actually over
awed him, and he became afflicted
with that yearning for home that is
commonly known as homesickness.
When Senor Dario sailed for Madrid
his secretary was not with him. He
Informed the minister that he feared
to go farther away from Nicaragua,
and, the yearning for home overmas-
tering the ambition for diplomatic hon
ors, he returned there "pronto."

THE ANT EATER.
A Harmless Animal That Will Fight
Hard When at Bay.

A peculiar looking animal is tia
ant eater, which is closely allied to
the sloth family. Its head is drawn
out into long, tubular muzzle, at the
end of which is tiny mouth just big
enough to permit the exit of its long,
wormlike tongue, which is covered
with a sticky saliva.
This tongue is thrust among the
hosts of ants with great rapidity, COM
ing back laden with the tiny insects.
To obtain its prey the ant eater breaks
open the ant hills, when all the active
Inhabitants swarm to the breach and
are instantaneously swept away by the
remorseless tongue.
The jaws of the ant eater are entire
ly without teeth, and the eyes and
ears are very small.
There are several species of ant eat
er, the largest kind being about four
feet long and having a tail covered
with very long hair, forming a huge
brush. The claw on the third toe Of
each fore limb is Of great size and is
used for breaking open ants and other
insects nests.
Generally speaking, the ant eater is
a harmless animal, but at times when
at bay it will fight with great cour~
age, sitting up on its hind legs and
hugging its foe with its powerful arms.

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only the Outer Shells of the
Great Blazing Orb.

The great ball of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series of
concentric shells envelops a nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing ex-
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace and
that it must amount to more than nine
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus Is the real sun, forever
hidden from us. The outermost of the
enveloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere
1t Is gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and SO furi-
ously active that 1t spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas prominences)
to the height of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agltated sea of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special IN
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study it in the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even, lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments of total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
in a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi-
nences and the corona is supported
wit, 70 hnn nIy t,{o la =
der the pull Of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenius has cosmically applied
the effects of light pressure a solution
Is presented.
How difficult it Is to account for
such delicate streamers as the promi-
nences on the sun is better compre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful Is the grip of
solar gravitation.
If the sun were habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two tons, assuming
that you are an ordinary human being.
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing
room, for there would be some diff
Guilty in throwing ball more than
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to form
of outdoor pingpong.
From these considerations 1t is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
surface masses of any size.-Harper's
Magazine.

A Fling at the French Army.

General Langlois, distinguished of
ficer of the French army, has aroused
much uneasiness among his country
men by asserting that the morale and
discipline Of the military forces of
France are in an alarming state of de-
generation. All the military enthusi-
asm of Napoleon's day, he remarks,
has evaporated, patriotism is rapidly
becoming thing of the past, and the
military organization of the republic,
once so removed from sordid influences,
Is controlled even in the minutest de-
tails by politics and politicians. Pro
motions, furloughs, permits to men in
the lowest ranks of the army to marry,
says General Langlois, are all subject
to the control of civil magistrates in
each prefecture, the results being com
plete anarchy and disorganization in
the army.

Little creatures may be very greedy
and yet not be able to eat much be-
