THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
It's Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.

It's Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.
German scientists are greatly inter-
ested in a discussion regarding new
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according to recent Norwe-
gian and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear sounds
accompanying the northern lights.
These sounds are described by some
as similar to the cracking Of flames
Accordingly German and Norwegian
scientists started out to investigate
the phenomena, and one of them, Olav
Aabakken, has spent long time ut
the Hallde observatory In Finmarken.
Aabakken thinks that 1t is very un-
likely that any sound is to be heard
from the northern lights. He main
tains that the human senses are not
to be relied on, especially regarding
the phenomena Of sight.
Aabakken says that the idea of
sound connected with the northern
lights may result from the fact that
these lights look like flames, and as
people are accustomed to associate the
cracking sound with flames the rath-
er uncritical observer Of the blazing
movements Of the aurora borealls Is
apt to think that he really hears the
sound Of those fames.-New York

EASTER ISLAND.

A Deserted Land and lite Mysterious
Crude Stone Statues.
Huge and grotesque stone images
stand and lie over the fertile surface
Of a deserted island far south In the
Pacific. 1t is place that Poe might
have sung into existence or Rider Hag-
gard created for the scene of some
fantastic romance. Even its name
Easter island : seems more literary
than geographical. Easter island,
1000 miles from South America and
1,400 miles east of Pitcairn island, has
on all the forty-tive square miles Of its
area less than 200 people. But it has
other inhabitants, great masses OF
rock, 600 In number, each carved into
the semblance of a human figure, the
origin of which is mystery. These
statues weigh on an average from ten
to twelve tons each, some Of them
reaching a weight Of forty tones. A
few of them stand on strong platforms
400 feet long, and many similar plat
forms stand untenanted.
At the quarry, which is crater for
Easter island is Of volcanic origin), a
number of these images lie half form
ed as the vanished sculptors left them.
There is another crater where the
crowns Of the figures were made from
rock of a different sort. Here, too, are
found unfinished specimens.-Church.

Freaks of Nature,

Monument park, near Colorado

freaks Of nature. Among the most
singular is group of light grayish-

more feet high capped with a thin

semble the tops Of giant mushrooms
which have shriveled and partially
dried up. The dark colored Gaping

assume the attitudes OF huge human
or animal shapes.-Argonaut

A. man who had lost the sight of
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound Of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he was In the
middle of the walk or at one side,
whether he was walking past a brick
or frame house or fence or open
ground. He knew In what part of the
town he was not only by his memory
or sense of general direction. but by
the difference In the "tones" Of his
footsteps, and he walked about freely,
seldom running into anything or any
body. Some one In his presence once
called In question his total blindness.
(which eye do you think can see
withT he asked the skeptic.
"The left one, of course" was the
reply. II can see that the right one Is
blind"
In reply the blind man merely
opened his penknife and tapped the
left eye with the little blade.
