DICKENS AS He WAS IN 1885
Interesting Description Of Great
Writer Published in tine knicker-
booker of That Year.

In person he is a little above the
standard height, though not tall. His
figure is slight, without being meagre,
and is we'll proportional. The face,
that first object of physical interest, Is
peculiar, though not remarkable. An
ample forehead is displayed under a
quantity of light hair, worn in mass
on one side rather jauntily, and this
Is the only semblance of dandyism
in his appearance. His brow is
marked, and his eye, though not large,
is bright and expressive The most
regular feature is the nose, which
may be called handsome; an epithet
not applicable to his lips, which are
too !. large Taken altogether. tho
countenance, which is pale without
hfckliness, is in repose extremely

His society is much sought after, and,

Humanity to Mules.

"In the fifteen years that have been
connected with societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals in this
and other cities ! never have received
g complaint alleging cruelty to Il mule.
said the humane looking man THAT
immunity of mules from harsh treat
ment is an interesting question. Why
are they immune? There are plenty
oe mules, even in Philadelphia. Does
nobody beat them? Does nobody an
derfeed them? If not. why not? Foes
a mule show such a decided ability to
take care Of himself that his owner is
afraid to abuse him. or do men beat
mules and Stalve them and escape
punishment because the persons who

EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
scientific Fact Not Known to ALL
Acuteness Of Hearing Among the
Lower Animals.

1t Is very difficult to make some per-
sons believe that nothing can move
without making sound, although it
may seem to be absolute silence to
them, Everything that moves dis
turbs the air around it and sets up
kind Of wave motion that spreads
through the atmosphere in all direc-
tons. When these wave motions are
strong enough a sound is heard That
nothing is heard is no evidence that
there is no sound, for other living
things may hear what men cannot.
Til, motion that is started in the
air when anything vibrates or moves
suddenly has often been compared to
the motion of the surface of still wa
ter when we drop a pebble into
pond. But there is this great differ
ence. The eye can see the wave made
by the smallest glass bead you can
find, but the ear is not nearly SO Sell
sitive, and unless the waves are pref
ty high in the atmosphere the human
ear cannot detect them as sound.
The lower animals and birds have
much better ears than human beings.
A dog will prick up Its ears at the
sound Of its masters voice, or a faint
whistle, when 1t is an astonishing dis
lance off. A man in Baltimore put his
head out of the window and called his
dog Jack, which he thought was chas-
ing cats in the grounds Ct tho blind
asylum opposite.
The dog was sitting On the steps OF
friends house with she mans daugh-
ter, nearly half a ,aile away, and in.
stantly jumped up and tore off home
1t had heard that call.
A deer has been known to lock up
It the sound IF footstep that was

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
m Addition to Conserving Rainfall.
They Are of Other Aids to
Agriculture.

While the rainfall of any region is
dependent on dynamic influences in
the atmosphere, and can be affected
only in a very slight degree, if at all,
by the extent of that region covered
by forests, it has certainly been shown
that woods and forests conserve raid
fall. The briefest consideration indi.
Gates the likelihood that this must be
so, because vegetation and the ground
covered with vegetation absorb water
and allow it to percolate slowly to the
lower levels, whereas on bare ground
the rainwater runs quickly away to
sea. But trees serve another purpose
in aid Of agriculture; because, as some
recent experiments show, they act as
windbreaks and shelters to growing
crops. The distance to which the pro-
tective influence of trees extends is
estimated at twenty times their
height, though complete protection,
such as might be afforded to growing
wheat in gale, extends only to dis
:anee eight times the height Of the
trees. Partial protection is about
