HINDU EGG DANCE.
Curious and Difficult Feat Performed
by Girl Jugglers.

Curious and Difficult Feat Performed
by Girl Jugglers.
OF the many wonderful feats per-
formed by Hindu jugglers one of the
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually 1t is executed by a girl fan
tastically dressed. She makes use of
willow wheel. around which at equal
distances are threads, and at the end
of each thread there is a moose held
open by bead
This wheel the girl places on her
head. while she carries a basket Of
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins to dance, and the
wheel begins to spin around. She then
takes an egg from the basket, places
II in one Of the thread nooses and
throws it from her with sufficient force
to draw the knot tight. The spinning
of the wheel keeps the thread stretched
with the egg at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket. places 1t In another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg in
every moose. Her fantastic costume,
her perfect motion and all the eggs
swinging on stretched threads at once
present a curious sight.
1t requires much art to execute the
dance, for one false step would cause
the eggs to be dashed together and the
dancer TO be disgraced.
After dancing for some time with all
the eggs swinging round her head she
takes them out of the moose one by
one, all the time keeping the wheel bal
anced and In motion, and again places
them In the basket on her arm.
After the performance the spectators
are allowed to examine the eggs to see
that they are real.-London Ideas.

COLD ICE CREAM.
The More Fat In the Cream the Longer
the Cold Taste Lasts.

tho Cold Taste Lasts,
An odd application of a very abb
stract principle of physics is to control
at will the cold taste of ice cream. II
an ice cream manufacturer wishes to
have his ice cream taste cold a long
time he can do so by making simple
changes in the cream mixture he
freezes, the actual temperature of the
frozen cream having little to do with
1t. The scheme has been worked out
by chemists of the Iowa State college.
The scientific principle is that of
specific heats. The specific heat of an
article is the intensity Of heat needed
to raise its temperature a given num-
Der of degrees or, in effect, the rapid
lty with which the article saps up
heat. Water is taken as the standard
and scientists know the specific heat
of most substances compared with wa
ter. These chemists carefully worked
out the specific heat of milk, cream
and various other dairy products, dis
covering that pure cream has low
specific heat and that fatty substances
do not take up heat so quickly and ef-
fectively as does water.
This explains why sherbets and 9th
er ices taste so cold when they first
reach the mouth. but do not give the
cold taste long They have a high
specific heat and quickly take up heat
from the mouth, then melt.
With ice cream the more fat there Is
In the formula the lower the specific
heat. Accordingly very fat cream
will not taste disagreeably cold at first,
but a spoonful of ice cream in the
mouth will maintain its cold taste
longer Thus the cold taste can be con-
trolled by the amount of fat used

CHIMNEY ROCK, WYOMING

Probably the most slender, delicate
appearing natural rock spire Gin the
country is Chimney rock in Cheyenne
county, Wyoming Shorn even of its
topmost pinnacle, this rock would be
a striking landmark, rising as it does
over 800 feet above the surrounding
land, but with this added 75-foot shaft
Chimney rock is a remarkable looking
formation. The several bases and the
rock itself are a series of sandstone
and clay strata showing that at some
distant age this part Of the United
States, now thousands Of feet above
sea level was the bed Of an ocean
In one of the early geologic ages the
whole of Wyoming and other adjoin
ing states we're covered by a shallow
sea. Later the land was uplifted
thousands Of feet-Chimney rock is
over 1000 feet above sea level-and
still later much of it washed and
eroded away. Chimney rock, some

TASTE IN ANIMALS

Many experiments have been made
in order to find out what and where
the organ Of taste is in the lower Gre
alton. but It is easier to say where II
is not. Crayfish and worms seem to
have very decided preferences in the
matter of food. though no special
taste organ has yet been found. Lob
sters like decaying food. The crab is
more dainty in its diet.
Snails and slugs show a decided
preference for certain kinds of food
as garden lovers know to thier cost.
Peas and cabbages, dahllas and sun
flowers are great favorites; but they
will not touch the white mustard
Some prefer animal food, especially
II rather high. Spiders have only
slight sense Of taste; flies soaked In
parafiin seem quite palatable to them;
though one species, the diadema, is
somewhat more particular, and refuses
to touch alcohol in any form what
ever.
The proboscis of the fly and the
tongues Of bees and ants are furnished
with numerous delicate hairs set in
minute pits. These are perahps con-
nected with the organ OF taste; but,
though the exact locality of this sense
in insects is uncertain, we know that
groups Of cells in the tongues OF ami.
mails, called taste bulbs, form in part
the ends Of the organ Of the higher
animals, They are very close and ex-
ceedingly numerous in man. while the
tongue Of even the COW has some
$4,000 bulbs.
It would be interesting to know
whether each special taste excites
Jpecial group Of nerves, and that only
this corresponding to the auditory
nerves. These taste bulbs we're dis
covered in 1867. Each one consists OF
two kinds OF cells-one set forming
an outer protective covering. through
an opening in which project from five
to ten Of the true taste cells. Though
important, they are not apparently an
essential part of the organ, for birds
and reptiles have none; but neither
have they a keen sense of taste-ex-
cept. perhaps, the parrot.

SOME FAMOUS ECHOES

The suspension bridge across the
Meuai strait in Wales is noted for its
wonderful echo. The sound of a
blow from a hammer on one Of the
main piers of the structure is re-
turned in succession from each of the
cross-beams that support the roadway
and from the opposite pier at the dis.
tance Of SIC feet, in addition to which
the sound is many times repeated be-
tween the water and the roadway at
the rate Of % times in five seconds.
Outside Shipley church, in Sussex,
England, is an echo which repeats 20
syllabes in the most remarkable man
neT.
The famous echo at Woodstock,
when awakened, answers no fewer
than so times.
In the Whispering gallery of st.
Pauls cathedral the faintest sound Is
faithfully conveyed from one side
of the dome to the other, but cannot
be heard at any intermediate point.

Of an octagonal form conveys a whis-
