CAPE HATTERAs.
The Shifting Sands and Point of This
Isolated Place,

The Shifting Sands and Point of This
Isolated Place.
There are few names more widely
known in the United States or locali-
ties about which a greater ignorance
prevails than Cape Hatteras. Situated
as it is at the angle where the long
strip Of sand beach from Cape Henry
south turns at a right angle to the
westward. with the widest part Of
Pamlico sound between it and the
mainland and with the beach both
west and north cut into several islands
by inlets from sound to ocean, its po-
sition is isolated. No means of trans
portation exist along the beach, and
with the nearest railway station from
which a regular transportation route
is operated nearly hundred miles
away it is an easier place to talk
about than to visit.
Like all sand promontories, the point
of the cape is always moving. An old
wreck imbedded deep in the sand and

Two features connected with the

sits the man acting as ballast, and
this not in racing, mind you, but in
every day sailing. The other is, the
practice of 'nodding." as 1 heard it

PLAYED 1t to the Limit,

Many writer's have declared that an
Irish gentleman's hospitality is unlim-
tied, but this is slight exaggeration,
as is shown by a story borrowed from
book OF Irish memories.
Jerry McCartie was often the guest
Of friends who on account of his pleas
ant ways extended to him that sort Of
old Irish hospitality which enabled a
visitor in my own family who came
for fortnight to stay for six years.
In McCartie's case the visit stretched
to nearly double that time. After
eight or nine years, however, his kins-
man got little tired Of his guest and
let him know of his old mansion's pro-
posed renovation and that he had sign
ed contract for having it painted
from garnet to cellar.

tunate that don't object to the smell
of paint, and it will be well to have
some one to keep an eye on the paint
ers now that the wall fruit is ripen-

Some months passed. Then his host
informed him that he was going to be
marrieds adding, 81 thought I'd tell you
in good time, so that you could make
leisurely preparations to go, as the
lady and you may not hit it Off as well
as you and do"
With fearful eyes Jerry grasped his
Cousins hand, saying:
"Oh, Dan, dear, you have my hearty
thanks for your consideration; but,
dear, dear boy, surely If you can put

THE CRUSH OF WORLDS.
What Would Happen if a Dead Sun
invaded Our Solar System.

Wnat Woulo 7aPPen IT Dead sun
Invaded Our Solar System.
It is possible, though it is not prov
ed, that stars may sometimes ap-
proach one another and even '1eap
madly from their spheres" what
would happen were an unknown star
or dead sun to invade our solar sys-
temp" asks a writer in the London II
Illustrated News, who answers his que
~ in two ways. In the first place, the
star might rush straight into the sun
and by the heat of the collision re-
duce the sun and all its planets to a
nebulous mass without form or struc-
ture. But it is more automatically
probable that just as comets approach,
circle and recede from the sun. SO the
starry invader Of our system would
approach our system and recede from
it, having altered it beyond recogni-
ton.
But what would be its effect upon
our sun? The sun as we know it
today is explosively elastic. Great
tongues of fame which would con-
sumo a little planet like ours at a
mouthful continually leap from it
with speeds Of several hundred miles
second. This enormous explosive
force is restrained only by the greater
force Of the SUMS gravity. But If an
approaching star as great as the sun
came within striking distance Of it
then along the line joining the two
bodies. each would begin to pull the
other, as today the moon pulls up the
earth's oceans.
The mighty pull of the invading star
would neutralize the suns gravity in
one direction. and the sun would, In a
sense. explode Out from our ances-
trail sun and from opposite sides Of
it would fly. two great frightening
arms of matter, reaching far beyond
the farthest planet AS the star
passed, its moving mass would give a
further twist to the sun and would
pull the arms Of matter into the shape
of a great double spiral. Form and
motion would thus be impaired to the
nebula thus created, and from the
solar system thus extinguished In ca
tastrophe new sun, with planets con-
densing from the Jumps and inequali-
ties in the projecting arms, would
arise.

THE TONGUE.
It Appears That This Organ Can Be
Eloquent Even When SiIeHt.

Eloquent Even When SiIeEt.
From the observations made by a
physiognomist it appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as elo-
quent in giving it's owner away as
when it is wagging. sixteen to the
dozen. This is hard fact for silent
man to swallow-in silence. His only
remedy is to keep well so as to obviate
the necessary injunction of the doctor
to put his tongue out, for by this
thrust out sign the doctor shall know
him.
The tongue of the talker when OBJ
truded inclines to the right side Of the
mouth, we are asked to believe, where
as the seldom used tongue gravitates
to the left side Orators, preachers
and barristers are endowed with right
sided tongues. Verbally parsimonious
persons have left sided tongues.
Furthermore, ''the tongue that
shoots out straight without turning or
wavering indicates solid, reliable
man Of affairs" Tongues that turn
up indicate impractical natures. A
downward, dropping tongue belongs
to person born to poverty and a
ready eye for the hopeless side Of
things.
The cruel tongue fiattens and broad
.ens when extended. The delicate
speaking organ with curled up edges is
the property of an imaginative and
artistic being. When the tongue is
sues forth as If gripped in a dental
wise it signifies love of life more
than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the in
dividual who thrusts forth his tongue
to its EXTREMIST verge is person to
whom no secret should ever be con-
fided, for he is an irresponsible chat
terer.-London Chronicle.
