A Lauend of Mount Omi.

Mount Omi. on the border between western China and Tibet has the long est staircase in the world On top of the mountain there stands a Buddhist temple, around which gather some of the holiest traditions of that religion and which is made a Mecca to the Chinese To facilitate the ascent of it's slippery sides some 10000 steps have been cut in the mountain, form ing single flight up which the pill grim tolls. Because of it's inaccessi bility few Europeans have ever visited the spot. but a number of travellers have ascended the stairway and are positive that it Is no legendary myth. There is legend that in earlier times the pilgrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial aids until the monks conceived the plan of re- quiring every pilgrim who would gain especial benefit of his journey to cut a single step.

The EiIiaI Chinsmsn.

Many examples of Chinese filial piety ytrike the occidental reader as ridicu- lOus. There is the famous story Of Lao Laitsu, which MT. R. P. Johnston repeats in his Lion and Dragon In Northern China" Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was himself a toothless old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiv. ing 1t his duty to divert their atten- ton from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself up in the clothes of child and played about in his parents presence with the object Of making them think they were still young married couple con, templating the innocent gambols of their infant son.
 A similar case is that of Wang P'ou whose mother had an unconquerable dread of thunder and lightning When she died she was buried in a mountain forest, and thereafter, when violent thunderstorm occurred, Wang Pou needless of the wind and rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees. Il am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say Do not be afraid"

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
 Nautical Almanac.
 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read tho entire Nautical Almanac frot9 hH- ginning to end, but each figure oI ine printed almanac is in the office e% amined twice and read three times.
 1''le total number of figures exceeds million; but great as that number is. it is trifing compared with the nun- be- of figures employed in the calcuiA- lions, as the almanac figures repre- sent "bare' results only. The moon. for instance, requires for it's calcu- lation more than million and half of fimuros. and similarly with other branches of the work. such as the sun. the planets, etc. Contrary to the general opinion. practically every fig ure in the book is fresh from year to year.
 The tables from which nearly all the work is calculated have been original ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to a large extent from the observations of tho sun. moon and planets made at the Royal observatory. Greenwich Tele- scopes and other astronomical appli- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely mathemati cal and not observational.-Lond Tele|raDh

THE ELECTROSCOPE.
instrument by Which the Presence of
 Electricity Is Detected.

Electricity Is Detected.
 The electroscope is an instrument for the detection of electricity. It depends for it's action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re pei, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. The ordi- nary pith ball suspended on . silk thread is the simplest form oi the fn- strument.
 The most common type of electro. scope Is that devised by Bennett in 17S7 and known as the gold leaf cleo troscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of q conductor within glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in a ball or a plate in ease the instrument is to be used as eondens- ing electroscope. If q body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroacope the mega tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves. which diyerge. If ro& thc tln- ger is touched to the knob the positive electricity is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will diverge again, charged with negative electricity. In this case the instrument can be used to determine the nature of charge of tt body brought near it, as witA T posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart.-EXchange

Butter and Its Manufacture.

The development of the butter manu-
featuring industry has been truly won
derful and that present conditions would
indicate that the next twenty-five years
viii produce many changes, says Cream
cry journal.
The manufacturing end is developed
far in advance of the production meth
DDS, and it is reasonable to predict a re-
vision along this latter line, and a radi-
cal one, too. The present condition of
the market is the first direct result of
the reckless, unreasonable and unwar-
ranted depths which many butter manu-
facturers have adopted in order to Sc
cure butter-fat. 'Cream, cream, good
cream if you can get it, but get cream,
seems to have been the slogan the past
few years, and as a result today we
have a badly crippled industry. The
markets are not to blame, the consumer
is not to blame nor even is the farmer.
The trouble originated among the manu-
facturers and the remedy must there
also begin its work. The consuming
public stands ready to buy good butter
at reasonable prices and under those
conditions they viii accept no substi-
tutes. That is at least one encouraging
feature, and it is up to the manufacture
ers to restore peace.
The butter factories of the future are
going to be distributed throughout the
producing territories close to the sources
of supply. In other words the Local
creameries are "coming back. - The
ereameries of the future are going tC
buy milk and cream according to &
quality basis; they are going to send Out
their own wagons to gather the raw ma
terial as often as necessary to insure the
best quality and not allow the patron
to deliver his own product unless in &
clean sweet condition. The butter
maker is going to have more authority
in regard to the acceptance of raw ma
terial as well as more absolute contro
of the other factors affecting quality
How soon these conditions will b,
brought about no one is prepared to say
but they must come or buttermakinl
will be cast aside as an Improbable in
dustry. If our butter could be mad,
under the conditions mentioned quality
would resume the high standard of q
years ago and we would need very few
laws to prevent oleomargarine being
sold as butter. In spite of the slipshoC
methods of handling the raw materia
from farms to factories dairy sentimen
is growing in volume each year, ant
our manufacturers are responsible, W
believe, for the training of these new
recruits in a manner that will instill tn
prime Importance of quality into thei
views. We have reached a crisis ant
the future of the industry is dependen
upon our reformatory methods adopte
within the next few years.

the champagne districts there might
have been a war going on. Nothing
but soldiers are to be met on the
road. At Epernay soldiers guard
every wine factory, and the sound OF
the bugles is continuous.
At the revolution the province or
Champagne was divided into four de-
\ partments. All this present trouble
arises because the department of the
Aube is reckoned outside the districH

say that when he buys champagne he
expects it to come from that country
just as he expects Danish butter to-
come from Denmark. But here comes
in the singular fact that neither
Rheims nor Epernay was originally
in the favored province. AS to the.
name itself, it simply means the great
open land, the Campania of France.

cereals, but which produces vines of

- OCTOR JOHNSON said he
n never read the life of a monk
of the middle ages but what
he wanted to fall down and

no harm in saying that 1 would prefer
to kiss the feet of girl, and as Joan
of Arc is the best and purest girl
known to profane history. am here
in France, If not kissing her feet, yet
following In her footsteps as far as
possible. The picture shows the
latest conception of the Maid of Or

of Arc by Raoul Larche, in tho
Church of the Madeleine at Paris.
Joan had a horse to ride. but ex-
pressed her intention of. failing a
horse, going upon her legs, even If
she wore them down to the stumps of
her knees. l go upon my feet for
choice, and duly arrived thereon at
Domremy, where Joan was born. in
the far east of France. having made
my way from England via Rotterdam,
and through Holland, Belgium and
Alsace-Lorraine, entering France not
far from Pont a Musson. At the
frontier the custom house officer was
about to search my knapsack, under
the impression l was Belgian. When
l told him l was English he desisted,
and babe me pass on. AS this was

Memories Of Joan of Arc.
The Mouse flows through Domremy
on it's way from Neufchateau to Van
couleurs, the same stream by which
Joan must have led her sheep. The
oak wood, where she heard her mys-
FERROUS voices, also remains, but be-
yond these not much exists at Dom
remy on which the eyes of Joan
rested except the landscape. 1t is
true her house has been preserved
but the church has been pulled down
to alter the orientation. and little
more than the original font remains
However, her name is everywhere

wonder Joan loved the shade of the
woods. A magnificent church is be
ing erected right in the woods. where
she heard the voices. Without going
into the truth or otherwise of the
voices she heard. one may say thai
in her day the world was peopled by
invisible things. The kindly priest
who showed me round told me thai
in the casting out of the evil spirit Of
child at baptism, It always took {
longer service to bring it out of {
girl than out of a boy. and thai
Joan's evil spirit was a particularly
long time in coming out
