introducing Himself.

Scottish country people call 6
corpse "the body" solemnly length
ening the word into 'bo-ody." This
mode of expression is due to re-
ligious feeling. The object lying
dead is no longer to them their
relative or friend. He or she is
elsewhere, leaving behind merely
his or her husk or shell. A some
what ludicrous illustration of this
use of the word occurred some time
ago before the sheriff of a northern
county, says a Scottish journal. He,
with the pr%ocurator fiscal and the
medical officer Of the county, was
engaged in a country village inves-
tigating the circumstances affecting
the death of a person found drown
ed. The corpse was in the room,
and there was considerable difficult
ty in preventing the neighbors and
friends Of the deceased from crowd
ing in upon them. One man in par
ticular presented himself with so
earnest and confident an air that
the sheriff thought he might have
something to tell. "Well, my man."
he said, "why have you come here?'
"Please, your honor" the man
gravely replied, "I'm the body's
brither."

The Electric Eel 10 Very Old.

Certain species of electric fishes
have been known from very early
times. Occasionally we find people
ascribing mysterious powers to
them both of good and evil. 1t is
certain that the Abyssinians knew
an electric eel and used it "as a
remedy for nervous diseases" and
the Hindoos and other nations of
the east in times past were also con
scious of its powers. Humboldt de-
scribes an old method of capturing
this eel practiced by the East In
dams. which consisted in driving
horses into water inhabited by the
eel and allowing the cells to exhaust
themselves by attacking the horses
with their electric organs, when
they we're "easily harpooned by the
Indians" but subsequent travellers
in the same parts where Humboldt
says the custom vas practiced have
denied the report. and it is now not
generally believed. However, the
electric eel has been known to
those people for centuries.

One Bank and It's Employees.

The Mendelssohn bank differs
from all similar institutions in Ger
many in the nature of the relations
existing between it and its employ
ees. It's attitude toward them is
~patriarchal, and it has the reputa-
tion of never having dismissed one.
One or two have retired, but the
rest have grown or are growing gray
in the service with a view to ulti-
mate retirement on pension. The
salaries paid r exceptionally high,
and no employee in a place OF trust
gets less than $1,000 a year. No
Christmas presents r given, but
all employees share in the grosperi-
ty of the bank as reflected in its

A uniuua Home.

In Sweden and Norway there are
several homes for spinsters. One
of these at least is as attractive as
it is unique. 1t is a monument to
the memory of an exceedingly
wealthy old man who, dying more
than 200 years ago, left the major
part of his fortune to the old maids
among his descendants. A superb
home was built, furnished and man
aged by salaried trustees. 1t -four
ished and has continued. Any I'M
married woman who can prove
blood relationship to the founder of
the institution is entitled to admis-
sion to the home. She is given a
suit of rooms, a servant, private
meals and is subject to no rules save
such as ordinary good behavior de-
mands.

just why the glowworm, the fire.
fly and other insects do glow is not
determined. One theory is that the
females are given this distinction in
order that they may be readily
found by their mates. Another,
adhered to by Darwin, is that the
light is for self protection merely.
Light bearing finsects are notorious

serve as a notification to birds and

BUYING RUBIES.
The Methods Of the Gem Merchant Of
the Orient.

Oriental merchants have bust
ness methods which would arouse
the wonder of the American store
keeper. Perhaps the most peculiar
methods are associated with the sale
of rubies in Burma.
The prospective purchaser takes
a scat near a window and has be-
fore him a large copper plate. The
sellers come to him one by one, and
each empties upon this plate a little
bag of rubies. The purchaser ar
ranges the gems all in separate lit
tie heaps in order that he may sci a
valuation upon them.
He first divides them into three
grades, according to size. Each of
these groups is again divided into
three other piles, according to color,
and each of these piles in turn is
once more divided into three
groups, according to shape.
Artificial light is never used in
the examination of rubies, the mer-
chants believing that full sunlight
alone is capable of bringing out the
color and brilliancy of the gems.
All sales must be made between the
hours of 8 a. m. and 3 p. M, and
the sky must be clear, so that moth
ing can dim the radiance of the
crimson stones.
The copper plate is brought into
requisition in more ways than one.
The sunlight reflected from it
through the stones brings out with
true rubies a color effect different
from that of spinels or tourmalines,
which are thus readily separated.
Many spinels bear a close resem-
blance to the ruby, but this simple
test made under the keen eye of the
oriental never fails.
When the various stones have
been segregated the buyer and
seller begin an odd method of bar
gaining by signs or, rather, grips, in
profound silence. After agreeing
upon the fairness of the classified
ton they join their right hands,
covered with a handkerchief or the
flap of a garment, and by grips and
pressures understood among all
these dealers they make, modify and
accept proposals of purchase and
sale. The hands are then uncover,
ed and the prices are recorded

Some Of tho Peculiar Conditions That
Would Confront Him.


If a man could live at the north
pole through 100 days he would be
100 years old, for a year at the pole
is made up of just one day and one
night.
About the 21St day of March the
sun peeps above the horizon, but
not in the east, for to the man on
the pole there is no east or west
or north. There is nowhere to go
but south. A few days later the
sun is apparently rolling around on
the horizon for the entire twenty
four hours. Without a timepiece
the man at the pole could not dis
tinguish the goth day of March
from the 3Oth ofsMarch. To para
phrase a popular saying, all days in
the calendar look alike to him.
After apparently rolling over the
horizon for sixty or seventy hours
the sun, always in full view, begins
a slowly ascending spiral until it
reaches an altitude of twenty-three
and a half degrees. There are nine
ty degrees from the horizon to the
zenith, and twenty-three and a half
are considerably less than a third of
ninety degrees. So the man at the
pole doesn't have to lean backward
to gaze at the midday sun.
After some two or three days at
its greatest altitude the sun begins
a slowly descending spiral course,
and about the middle of September
it is again rolling around the hori-
zon, and a few hours later, as the
last edge of it disappears below the
horizon, night ensues-a night that
lasts from Sept. 21 until the fol-
lowing March 81.
The man at the pole sees all the
stars in the northern half of the
celestial armament at one time. He
does not have to wait for the revo-
luton of the earth on its axis to
bring any of them into view. But
he can neve see many of the stars
we see, just as we stay at homes are
never able to see the Southern Cross
and other consultations of the
southern celestial hemisphere. The
moon visits the man at the pole and
keeps him company for weeks, cir
cling the horizon just as the sun
did, but at a lower altitude.
The north star, Polaris, is almost
directly overhead. 1t is a degree
and a fraction, you know, out of
true north.
AT the pole all meridians of Ion
gitude meet. So to describe ones
position there no longitude is nee
essary-only latitude 80 degrees.
The north pole of the compass
points south at the north pole. So,
indeed, does the south pole of the
compass, for south is the only d.
rection away from the north pole.
The stars appear brighter, a star
of one magnitude less than can be
seen in the United States being
easily visible in the arctic regions.
No rotation of the earth takes
place at the pole. So if Mr.. Man
was on the equator he would be
turning with the earth at the rate
of over a thousand miles an hour,
while if at the exact pole he would
not turn at all-or at most, if he
stood stock still for twenty-four
hours, he himself would rotate just
once.
The pole is the nearest point on
the surface of the earth to the cen
ter of the earth. Consequently on
leaving the pole one would have to
be continually marching up hill.
For this same reason things weigh
more at the pole than anywhere
else on the surface of the earth -
