Curious Customs That Prevail In the
Capital Of Chile.

Capital Of Chile.
They have women conductors on the
electric cars Of Santiago, the capital
Of Chile This was made necessary
by a war. which took so many men to
the front and imposed upon women
the work usually done by men. The
custom has been kept up, the women
having proved equally as efficient as
the men had been.
One Of the most peculiar customs
seen here is the evening promenade in
the plaza or park, which is attended
by young ladies and young men and
quite small boys and girls. They do
not mix. but keep quite separate paths.
Yet even the little girls at seven or
eight years are finished coquettes.
Their eyes languidly observe every
man and boy in the plaza, and they
take care that each shall receive due
share of their smiles.
Another curious custom which pre-
walls in Santiago and which Is Joined
by those fortunate enough to have
fine horses and carriages is the prom
enade at the Parque CAUSING, beau
tiful park near the center Of the city.
A company of mounted police stands
In single file In the center of the drive,
and the carriages. with uniformed
coachmen and footmen and beautiful
ly gowned women and fashionably
dressed men occupying the carriages,
ride around and around these mounted
police.
Sometimes there are two or as many
as six rows of carriages. some going

METEoRIc DUST.
An Invisible but Constant Shower Of
Tiny Hollow Steel Balls.

An Invisible but Constant Shower Of
Tiny Hollow Steel Balls.
MeteOric dust is composed Of minute
hollow spheres Of steel that look I'M
der the microscope like leaden shot.
They are infinitely finer than grains
Of sand. Their origin is interesting.
Meteors, or shooting stars as they are
Generally called, have from the begin
ming of things been bombarding the
world at rate estimated by the high
est authority at many thousands an
hour. Owing to the earth's protecting
envelope of air very few of these mis-
sileS reach us. In size meteors vary
from few ounces to many pounds in
weight, and it is only very occasion
to survive the passage of 80 to 100
miles through an atmosphere increas-
ing in density as the earth is APP
preached. The speed at which they
enter the atmosphere, calculated at not
less than thirty-flve miles second,
generates such intense heat by fric-
ton that the iron of which the meteor
principally consists is Immediately re-
duced to an incandescent vapor, which
is the luminous train so frequently
seen In the heavens on clear night
The vapor rapidly cools and con-
denses in the form of these minute
particles, which assume the spherical
form, as does shot during its fall from
the top of tower Finally the lit
tie spheres are scattered by the winds
and currents in the upper regions and
gradually descend In their millions as
an invisible but never ending shower
The perfect condition in which the
spheres are found is due to the pres
ence Of certain noncorrosive elements
found by analysis to be present in the
metal of meteors which have come to
earth.
These little spheres can be found In
almost any sample of dust, particles
where it has collected in sheltered re-
cesses or hollows, as In the gutter, ON
the housetop or round the roots Of old
trees and dry bitches. They may be
readily gathered by a magnet and
when mounted form an interesting OBJ
ject for the microscope. = Chicago

FRENCH FISH STORY.
Three Days Carnival Of Marplsnon's
Intrepid Anglers.


Intrepid Anglers.
Though their lakes and ponds are
few and their rivers comparatively
destitute Of fish, the French people are
extremely fond Of angling. Indeed,
nervous and excitable as the average
Frenchman may be, he is content to
sit by stream with a pole and wait
all day for a bite
In certain country town not far
from Paris there existed a fishing club
named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi-
gnon. A pretty stream goes through
Marpignon, but for many years not
one fish had been seen in this stream,
from which circumstance, It followed,
the Intrepid Fishers had little to do,
says Harper's Weekly.
The excitement may be magined,
therefore. when the word ran through
Marpignon that a large barbel-a
tough and gamy flsh-had been seen
In the stream. The Intrepid Fishers
turned out and, having ascertained
that there was indeed a barbel in the
stream, Immediately stopped the wa
ter some little distance above and be-
low him with @atings SO that he
could not get away.
Then they ranged themselves joy
fully along the stream with hook and
line, and all went to fishing for the
one fish.
BY and by one Intrepid Fisher
caught him and Immediately threw
him back into the water In the
course Of time another caught him and
did the same.
For three days one veracious ac-
count has it the Intrepid Fishers kept
at work catching this one barbel. and
at the end of that time the fish died
Of exhaustion and loss Of blood. Then
the Intrepid Fishers counted up the
notches that they had made on their
fish poles, and the man who had
caught the barbel the most times was
declared the champion fisherman OF
Marpignon and received great honors
