Poisinq on Nothing.

Away up In the air. far beyond the
mountain tops, the great condors will
hang poised as motionless as If perch
ed on solid rock True. their wings
are outstretched, but even through
glasses not the slightest motion is per-
ceptible. They remain in this position
for many minutes. sometimes for an
hour, making careful scrutiny of ev-
erything below them in their search
for prey Then, with slight fitting
of the wings, they flap slowly away,
or, having found what they were seek
ing, dart like bullet toward it. The
eagle. hawk and other species have
this same faculty of poising apparent
ly on nothing.

Banked Rails.

In rounding a curve the tendency
of the weight of a train is invariably
to shift to the outside wheels, To
counterfeit this tendency the outer rail
of curve is raised on higher level
than the inside the elevation being
in an exact proportion to the sharp
ness of the curve as determined by the
principles of engineering. II both
rails of a curved track were of exactly
the same elevation a train would not
dare round 1t at high speed.

THE DEATH OF A CAR.
Dramatic Story Of the Way Nicholas l.
Committed Suicide.


Committed Suicide.
There are various stories of the death
Of the Gear Nicholas l. Here is one
which the great singer Mario heard
from doctor Of the court and which
is told in 1.-THE Romance Of a Great
Singer"
when the Russian army was meet
ing with reverse after reverse in the
Crimean war the car sent for his doc
tor and demanded to know which was
the quickest and most painless poison
that he knew Of, bluntly telling the
startled physician that he had re-
solved to commit suicide. He further
which was his characteristic that If he
were not obeyed the doctors life would
be worthless. He sharply silenced the
mans nervous remonstrances and COM
manded him to bring the poison. The
doctor did not dare to refuse and few
minutes later brought small vial
containing the poison, which he as
, sured the car would deprive any one
Of existence in a few minutes. To be
J sure that he had been Obeyed and that
| the doctor was speaking the truth the
car obliged him to remain in the room
warning him that If the poison failed
his life should answer for It, The cZar
took the poison without the least ire
NOR or the movement Of muscle, and,
although twice told by the doctor, who
held his watch in his hand, that there
was time to save him by an antidote
should he alter his mind, the car re-
fused, answering the second entreaty
by simply waving the man away, he by
that time being unable to speak. 1t
was given out that the car had died
from the effects Of severe chill, but
those who knew the facts also knew
that he had committed suicide rather
than face the defeat Of his army"

he was fond, Mark Twain went up

owned mining claims. Mark decided
to spend his vacation In pocket min
ing and soon added that science to his
store of knowledge. 1t was halcyon,
happy three months that he fingered
there. One day with Jim ellis he
was following the specks of gold that

declared that each pail of water was

They left the pan standing there and
went over to Angels camp. which was
nearer than their own cabin. The
rain kept on, and they sat around the
grocery and barroom smoking and tell
ing stories to pass the time
Meanwhile the rain had washed

COLOR AND SOUND.
Hues That Are Unseen and Tones That
Are Unheard.

hSes That Are Unseen and Tones That
Are Unhsard.
The primary colors shown In the
rainbow vary from red to blue and
violet, and the vibrations or lengths
Of the light waves that give US vioiet
grow shorter and shorter and at length
rive us red These vibrations can be
measured. One day, quite by chance.
I came across the statement that there
were innumerable light waves longer
than those which give violet. At once
the question sprang, Were these longer
waves represented by colors which we
don't see, colors for which we have no
name. colors Of which we can form
no conception? And was the same
thing true of the waves which, grow
ing shorter and shorter, give us the
sensation of red? There Is room, OF
course, for myriads Of colors beyond
this other extremity Of ohr vision. A
little study convinced me that my
guess was right, for all the colors
which we see are represented to our
sense of feeling in degrees OF heat;
that is. blue shows one reading on the
thermometer and red higher read
ing, and by means Of this new stand
ard discovered that mans range OF
vision is not even placed in the mid
die of the register Of heat, but occu-
pies little space far up toward the
warmer extremity Of it. There are
thousands of degrees of cold lower
than blue and hundreds Of degrees OF
heat above red. All these gradations
are doubtless represented by colors
which no human eye can perceive. no
human mind imagine. 1t is with sight
as with sound. We know now that
there are noises louder than thunder
which we cannot hear, the roar that
lies on the other side Of silence. We
men are poor restless prisoners, hem
med in by our senses as by the walls
Of cell, hearing only part Of ma
lures orchestra and that part imper-
fectly; seeing only thousandth part
of the color marvels about us and see
ing that infinitesimal part incorrectly
and partially.-Forum.

Carlyle an Incorporate Smoker.

For about seventy OF his eighty-six
years Carlyle smoked and made most
of his contemporaries smoke. The
trouble with him was that he was too
fond Of smoking a rank pipe on an
empty stomach. That gave him pains
and his contemporaries particular
pains, for "puir auld Carlyle" was as
savage as a meat house dog all the
time. He cared for but two men in
the world, Tennyson and Dickens.
All the rest were ''puir, feckless, reek-
less, Incorporate bladders and gas
bags" and all because Tom did not
know how to clean his pipe and keep
it clean and would smoke before break
fast.-Tobacco Leaves.

Handy Guides For Underwriters In
Fixing Premium Rates.
Many persons must have noticed
when making application for fire in
surance that 1t Is the practice OF the
underwater to examine certain maps
before he will fix the rate Of premium
or accept risk on the property Of
fered. His photographic surveys mark
ed off in diagrams Of red and yellow
and other colors are always In evil
dence sometimes bound securely in
dozens of large volumes, on other oc-
casions laid conveniently in piles Of
loose sheets for handy reference.
Few persons realize, however, that
these maps contain all the information
which the underwater desires to know
about the building he is asked to in
sure and that In most instances more
matters are explained to him by a
single glance than the applicant could
make even though he be the owner of
the property.
AS matter Of fact the details set
forth are most explicit. The map
maker has managed by colors, charac-
tiers and signs to give full description
Of the construction, equipment and DC,
cupation of the building, everything
which over fifty years of this sort OF
surveying has proved to be Of any pos
sible interest to the insurance man. II
