One of the most denseiy peopled spots in the world is O-dori street, Tokyo The long thoroughfare known as Ginza which runs from near the Shim bashi railway station to Spec facles bridge. is made up of several streets with different names, some
 wide and modern, some old fashioned and narrow. and if the earth were sud denly to gape open wide in that portion known as O-dori street at any hour of the day there is no other thorough fare in the Japanese city where the results to human life would be more fatal, for here the tide of human life runs the highest But O-dori street is extremely narrow. so that the density Of the crowd does not make the daily figures much above the 100000 mark.

The Colonial Shoemaker.

American supremacy in shoemaking Es due largely to Specialization Abroad an operative does half dozen different things. Here he performs one simple process, and here also one factory makes one kind of shoes. If large manufacturer makes different kinds of shoes he has a separate factory for each kind.
 What a sight the modern shoe factory would be to the primitive shoemaker of colonial days, who was an 1tinerent workman, carried his tools with him and stayed with each family long enough to make up the farmers sup ply of home tanned leather into shoes enough to last until his next annual visit His last was roughly whittled out of a piece of wood to suit the largest foot in the family and then pared down for the successive sizes. He sat on a low bench, one end of which was divided into compartments, where his awls, hammers, knives and rasps were kept, with his pots of paste and blacking, his nails, thread, Hngings and buttons, shoulder sticks and rub stickS"-New York Sun.

Natural Ear 1rurnne4s-

It has been ascertained that the spiral horn of a wild sheep, when so placed that the ear Is in the axis of the coil. makes the direction from which the ticking of a watch comes more easily discernible. Since the ear of the sheep is surrounded by the horn it Is inferred that the latter acts as an ear trumpet. not improving the hearing for distant sounds. but disclosing the direction of a sound. This would be useful in enabling the sheep to ascer- tain the exact points whence sounds come when there is 8 mist or fog GOV ering its feeding grounds.-Exchange
