Electric Conquest Of Pyrenees.

Electric Conquest OF Pyrenees.
! Owing to their great mean elevation
the Pyrenees form one of the most
complete mountain walls in the world,
capable of arresting the march of
commerce as we'll as that of armies.
Hitherto no railways have traversed
the chain, communication between
France and Spain being kept up round
the ends. But now electricity enables
engineers to attack this vast wall with
success, since electric traction is pos
sible on grades too steep for steam
engines to overcome. Two railways
are in course Of construction across
the chain, one between Ax-les-Thermes
and Ripoll, the other between Olbron
and Jaca. Both will be operated by
electric power obtained from water
falls, which are very abundant in the
Pyrenees. For the Oloron-Jaca line
a current of 21,00O-horse power is
available, and for the Ax-les-Thermes-
Ripoll llAe one of still greater capac-
ity.

Difused light for the stage, in place
of the usual glare Of electric arcs, is
obtained by Spanish engineer by
rejecting the rays of an arc lamp

sired position by pulleys. A quarter
sphere lined with dead white is used
as a sky, and the illusion of unlimited

Indian Aumor.

Old Geronimo would scarcely be sus-
pected of humor, and yet on one occa-
sion the medicine chief gave me a
sample of it. 1t was his custom in the
later years Of his life to watch for the
coming Of white visitors to Fort Sill
or to Miss Adkisson's mission, near by,
in order that he might sell beaded
canes to them. From the proceeds he
was accustomed to purchase certain
creature comforts not supplied by the
government, but on which he relied
for support in his old age. One day 1
was talking to him about them. He
said: 'They make me walk straight
the tobacco and the mescal. Yes, they
put strength into me, and l lean on
them
Then to those beady eyes that SO
often had f1ared with hatred and cru.
city came a CLEAN of humor. He con
tinued: II sell these canes, and the
white man buys them-both for one

They Show No Regret In Parting With
Their Luxuriant Tresses.
A correspondent writes from Pom
tivy, Brittany, giving some interesting
facts of "hair market" there. 1t is
stated that in different parts of the
motley crowd there were three or four
different purchasers of this commod-
ity, who travel the country for the
purpose Of attending the fairs and buy
ing the tresses of the peasant girls.
They have particularly fine hair and
frequently in the greatest abundance.
There seemed to be no difficulty in
finding possessors of beautiful heads
Of hair perfectly willing to sell.
I'VE saw several girls sheared, one
after the other, like sheep, and as
many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists.
mo doubt the reason of the indif-
ference to their tresses on the part of
the fair Bretonnes is to he found in
the invariable mode which covers ev-
cry head from childhood upward with
close caps, which entirely prevent any
part of the hair from being seen and
of course as totally conceals the want
Of it. The money given for the hair is
about 20 sous or else a gaudy cotton
handkerchief. The purchasers net i'm
mense profits by their trips through
the country boston Herald.

Mother Nature surely must have set

day she invented the porcupine. Here

mild disposition. without cunning or
courage and almost as slow and clum-

absurd to give him weapons of de-
tense; he would never have the energy
to attack anything. so he was given a
coat Of mail in which he might walk
abroad among his enemies and yet be
as safe as though he were behind a
wall of steel. His upper parts, from
This nose to the tip of his thick, muscu7
lar tail, are covered with mass of
sharp pointed quilts sintermixed with
coarse hair. Each quill is provided
with number Of minute barbs point
ing backward, so that when it is once
inserted in the flesh Of any animal the

WassaiIing of Apple Trees Still OBJ
served In Parts of England.
What is the wassailing of apple
trees?
This is an old custom, fast dying
out, but still observed in parts Of
Somerset and Devon. At Wooton-
Basset, near Minehead, the ceremony
takes place on old Twelfth eve. All
assemble at the farmhouse and after
hearty meal form a procession to
the nearest orchard, the master in
front with light and men with old
guns, blunderbusses and anything that
makes Il noise in the rear. Plenty Of
cider is taken and some pieces of
toast.
When the orchard is reached a ring
is formed, and the master, in the cen
ter, seizes a branch and sings verse
beginning ooh. apple tree, l wassail
thee, in hopes that thou wilt blow"
Then all shout in chorus:
Hatfuls, capfuls, three bushel bagfuls,
Barn tloorfuls, tullet holefuls
And little heap under the stairs.
Then follow cheers. drinking Of

Her Artistic Instinct.

The girl was dainty thing in pink,
evidently stranger in Boston. The
fellow had Harvard written all over
him. They were standing in the de-
livery room Of the public library, and
he was explaining to her the deco
rations by Edwin Abbey which illus
trate the legend of the Holy Grail.
AS he talked he glanced occasionally
at his fair listener and seemed pleased
to find her apparently lost in rapture.
Finally, when his stock of knowledge
was exhausted, he exclaimed:
"Why, never before knew that you
were so interested in art!'
For a moment longer she continued
to gaze at the painting; then, with a
tremulous sigh, she turned to him
with:
II have been wondering how many
pieces it would make if cut up into
one Of those picture puzzles. "-Har-

FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend and
Literature.

The Constellation Orion In Legend and
Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature of all ages. In Egypt
it represented Horus, the young or ris-
ing sun, in boat surmounted by stars.
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as a COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls OF
Ghebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
a striking example of the unchange'
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindus
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always stormy
character. Allusions to it's direful in
fluence are found everywhere among
the classic writer's Thus Milton wrote
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing of Orion. The group has also been
employed as calendar sign, it's morn
ing rising indicating the beginning of
summer. it's midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and its early even
ing rising the arrival of winter, with
It's attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signitied
the light of heaven.
