Why the Sea Is Salt.

The rivers of all the world pour their water into the sea sooner or later. They wash down vast quanti- ties of solid matter and much mat ter in solution of which the greater part is salt. This may be in such small amount that it is impercepti- ble in the river. The waters of the seas are evaporatcd by the sun, but none of the salt is taken up into the clouds. So the water that returns to the earth in rain contains no salt, but by the time it reaches the sea again, after soaking through the soil and flowing down the rivers, it has another load. Consequently the oceans are receiving salt all the time and never giving up any of it.

A livinastone Memorial.

Perhaps one of the. most curious memorials of Livingstone is that known as "Name Tree," near the Victoria falls, on the Zambczi. On the trunk of this tree Livingstone cut his initials and the date 1855 on the day of his first visit to the falls. In his book, giving an ac- count of this, Livingstone says: "This was the only instance in which I indulgcd in this piece of vanity" A large notice board has been placed against the tree by the authorities giving the information and adding, "Visitors are requested to assist in preserving this relic" One wonders whether the great cx- plorer forcsaw the day when parties of tourists would come by train to the falls and be able, if they wish, to continue their journey by rail into the far north.

HATS AND BALD HEADS.
A Combination In Which Woman Has
 the Best of Man.

Badness is matter of headgear. The doctors are fairly well agreed upon that. Men grow bald more frequently than women because of the hats they wear. It is true that women wear bigger and often hcavi- CT hats than men, but they attach them to their hair and not to their scalps; hence they permit ventila- tion and do not constrict the veins, while mems hats, with their hard, tight fitting brims, not only permit no air to enter, but constrict the blood vessels all around the head.
 Consider the scalp of man. It is a thin layer of muscles covered with thick skin, stretched over hard, bony surface. Through this flow small arteries leading to a network of capillaries which end in veins. The skin is full of the folliclcs or roots of hairs and of glands which secrctc copious supplies of grease and perspiration. These hair roots and glands need plentiful supply of blood, and anything that tends to cut off this supply tends to inn povcrish the hair.
 The tight band of hat constricts all the arteries, but to much lesser extent, as these are more deeply seated and have strong muscular walls, while the veins are close to the surface and have no muscle in their thin walls. The checking of the flow of blood through the veins causes it to stagnate in the capil- laries, to back up, as it were. And the top of the head is just that part of the body which the blood finds most difficult to resist, as it has to be pumped up higher there than anywhere else.
 Thus there is congestion of vc- nous blood in the scalp. The hat also keeps the head hot, another bad condition. The scalp, again, is that part of the body which is most exposed to dirt. A woman's hair gets dirty also, but it is so thick that it protects the scalp from the 1 dirt. A mans short hair, on the contrary, catches all the dirt, but does not prevent it from reaching 1 the scalp. And the scalp of the average man, with its grease and perspiration, is an ideal culture medium for the growth of microbes.
 The remedy for badness, then, ! is light, well ventilated, soft brim- med hats and scrupulous cleanfi- ness.-New York World.

Quicksilver is used for many we'll known purposes, but an interesting and increasing use in Scotland is the floating of the lights of lighthouses upon body of quicksilver. The met al is not consumed, of course, and the loss in use is insignificant. The com missioners of northern lighthouses, Edinburgh, have in their charge 90 lighthouses on the coast of Scotland. Up to the year 1900 the revolving lights were born on rollers. The float system has been gradually in- troduced, however, and is now in op- eration at 30 coast stations and will be used at all others. The lighting machinery rests on pontoon which runs on quicksilver in a groove. The quantity of mercury required for this purpose in a lighthouse is from to 8 Tasks of 75 lbs. each. As the waste is trifing. the total present de mand for this purpose is small.

Motion of the Sun.

Owing to the revolution of the earth the sun seems To make Its daily cireuit around us, which of course is not the case But the sun is revolving about its center quite as truly as the earth is. It was one of the conceptions of that most re- markable man, Sir John Herschel, that the whole solar system had d molten in space and was advancing toward point in the heavens near the star Hercules. Sir Johns con- ception-as bold an idea as ever en- tered the human mind--is now gen. erally accepted by astronomers, and the opinion is quite universal among them that the enti'- system is trac- ing our a curvilinear path in space, a course around some mighty cen ter, probably at Hercules.

BEAUTIFUL, BUT DEADLY.
The Bushmaster is the Most Venomous
 Snake In tho World.

"About the latest thing among snake novelties is the bushmaster," writes the London correspondent of the Chicago News. "This snake, &C., cording to Baron E. Leijonhufvud, F. Z. S., F. R. c. S., is one of the rarcst and shiest ill the world. It is at home in tropical South Amer ica and occurs in Trinidad. It has tine greatest venom of any of the large poisonous vipers, and as much as $50 milligrams have been extract cd at one time from the bushmaster. The dreaded rattlesnakc, including the large diamond, does not give more than half the quantity of ven om. Attaining sometimes length of twelve feet, the bushmaster is the largest of all the poisonous snakes of the world. The pattern is beautiful; pinkish yellow ground color, with rhomboid regular de- signs of darkish brown, having tinsc of purple and terra cotta. In each darker pattern is brighter center spot. Its Latin name means the silent rattlesnake.' It was giv- en this name by Linnaeus on ac- count of its tail, which is tapering and horny, made of the same ma terial as that of the rattlcsnake, but without the scgncnts and con- sequcntly silent.
 "Charles Watcrton, the famous naturalist, who made three journeys to South America, describes the bushmaster in his notes of the first journey in 1912 as follows: 'Un- rivaled in his display of every lovely color of the rainbow and unmatch- ed in the effects of his deadly poi son, the "Counacouchi" glidcs un- daunted on. sole monarch of the forests. Both man and beast fly be- 1 fore him and allow him to pursue an undsputcd path. He sometimes grows to the length of fourteen 1 feet. The bushmaster' head is en- tirclv heart shaped, and when rous- ed the serpent does not get into the position of the other vipers, but keeps the head slightly raised with s shaped vertical bends of the body. In striking it lets out these bends like a spring and can in this way reach very far. Its food is the com mon rat, the rabbit and the agouti.
 'In Central America the bush master is called by the Indians the pineapple snake because its scales are round and similar to the outside of pineapple. This exceedingly delicate snake. which is killed by the slightest change of climate, is not nearly so aggressive as its small CT cousin, the fer de lance, and l does not affect materially the mor- taltv on sugar, bananas or coffee 1 plantations.

An Unfortunate Name.

In some cases abbreviating name improves it. In others it doesn't. For instance, the Tubbses thought they were doing honor to the father of his country, as well as to their firstborn son, whom they named George Washington Tubbs.
 But when he grew up the handle proved too long, SO everybody drop ped the George, shortened up the middle name and called him simply Wash TMbbs.--Jndge.

Fourth Finger For Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring as a symbol dates to far. back times, probably having it's origin in the days of Tu- bal Cain. It was at one time GUS tomary for marriage rings to be worn by both sexes, and this custom is largely followed on the continent today. Our ancestors put the ring on the left hand because they found it more convenient, and they chose the fourth finger because it is less used than the rest and more capable of preserving ring from damage.

Miss Jennings was hearing the grammar and rhetoric class. She wrote a sentence on the board and called upon Abner to rise.
 "Thomas can ride the horse if he wants to-" she read, pointing to the board. 'Now, Abner, rewrite the sentence in another form"
 Abner surveyed it somewhat du- biously for moment; then inspira- tion came to him, and, stepping to the board. he wrote:

SHARKS BLOW SHIP WHISTLE
Then Sailors Know the Much Hated
Fish Has Been Caught on
Their Hooks.

Sharks are numerous in Magdalena
bay, on the west coast of the Peninsu-
la of Lower California, says the Wide
World. The monsters at this point
seem to take almost any kind of bait,
and it is rarely that a warship is seen
at anchor without from one to half
dozen lines dangling from its stern.
Watching a shark line is a tedious
business, but it is strictly necessary
in order that the fisherman may know
when the monster is hooked, as it's
frantic rushes, If allowed to go un-
checked, are pretty sure to cause some
part of the line. leader, or even part
of it's own anatomy to give way, and
result in its escape.
The old scheme of tying the line
around ones big toe and going to sleep
would probably work all right so far
as rousing the fisherman was con
cerned, but the sequel might not leave
him in a condition to give undivided
attention to landing the prize. TO this
end the officers and sailors have hit on
an ingenious plan. Instead of taking
in their lines when the dinner gong
sounds or when for any reason they
are on duty elsewhere, they run
stout piece of marlin twine from the
sharkline UP to the steam whistle,
leaving it for the man eater himself
to announce the event of his being
hooked by sounding toot.

New York, Sept. 13.-George Nc
Aneny, president of the borough OF
Manhattan, was chosen by the lead
ers of the Gaynor Independent league
to succeed Gaynor as their candidate
for mayor, but he quickly declined the
designation.
Il sincerely appreciate the honor,
he. said in a formal statement, but
under no circumstances could accept
a mayoralty nomination in opposition
to Mr.. Mitchell, the fusion candidate. -
Opposed Mitchell.
Mr.. McAneny was a strong candi-
date for the fusion nomination for
mayor, but was defeated by John Pur-
roy Mitchell. He was then named on
the fusion ticket for president of the
board of aldermen. In the recent mix
up there has been much speculation
as to just where he stood and some
doubt as to whether he would accept
Endorsement by the Gaynor league.
The Gaynor league meeting was at
tended by Henry Clews, Jacob H.
Schiff, Jacob Cantor, J. B. Greenhut
and Fire Commissioner Johnson.
Arrangements for the funeral of the
late Mayor Gaynor have been com
pleted by members of the family and
Mayor Ardolph Kline.
The board of estimate formally de-
clared the city to be in mourning for
thirty days.
Body to Arrive Friday.
The body of the late mayor will ar
rive in New York Friday afternoon of
next week, it is expected. The city
hall is draped in mourning, as are
many other municipal buildings.
Thousands of messages of coincidence
were received today by Mrs. Gay
nor and by Mayor Kline.
The fortune left by the late mayor
was estimated at between $1,000, 900
and $1,500,000. Friends of the late
executive explained that in the early
days of Brooklyn's development, be-
fore Gaynor went on the bench, he
