Smoke and soot.

Spot, the principal trouble maker in smoke, is the product Of incomplete combustion, and is formed partly by the mechanical removal of ash by the chimney draft and partly by the decomposition of the volatile portion of the fuel which is formed by the proc ess of destructive distillation. The character of soot varies with the dis tance from the grate at which it has been deposited, as well as the Sam perature of the furnace, amount of air, and method of firing. The acids con tafned in soot attack mortar. masonry, woodwork metal work and building material generally In many European cities 1t has been found that soot causes the rapid disintegration of stat uary and public monuments. The dam age done to inside decorations appears to be no less important than the effects upon the exterior of buildings. Smoke Is visible proof of imperfect conabus- ton of fuel, and consequently evidence of waste and inefiiciency-Ne York American.

But let this stranger, if he will, in your looks. in your accent and behavior, read your heart and ear nestness, your thought and will which he cannot buy at any price in any vi1- lage or city, and which he may well travel fifty miles and dine sparely and sleep hard in order to behold Ger ta1nly, let the board be spread and let the bed be dressed for the traveller, but let not the emphasis of hospitality lie in these things.

res a Regular IelsyII ard Hyde Sort Of
Reptile.
Persons Of only ordinary powers OF
observation know that tadpoles become
frogs. This process Of transformation
is one Of the nest interesting Of the
many curious things that 60 on about
us every day. The Ease of the tadpole
and frog is mentioned that the reader
may more easily understand a reptile
that is found in southern California
and Mexico.
There are several varieties of sala-
mandrine reptiles in North America, all
of them perfectly harmless. One in
particular lives in the desert regions of
| the southwest. The MeXicans call 1t
the axolotl. 1t is perhaps the most
curious of all reptiles. 1t is a light
gray or pure white translucent reptile
about inches in length. 1t lives
in lakes and ponds. breatheS through
| gills just back Of the front legs. has a
long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire length and
four stout legs. with which it creeps
about the bottom of the pond.
In the region where these reptiles
live long continued droughts are con
mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry
up. AS the water falls evaporation be-
gins. Instinct warns the axolotl that
there will shortly be no water. and he
makes preparation for a terrestrial
life. The gills disappear. and he comes
to the surface for mir just as a tadpole
does when lie is about to become a
frog. AS the water grows shallower
the aNolotl loses Il portion Of his tail.
sheds his caudal fins. changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes to
the sand hills and becomes a spotted
salamander.
The most remarkable thing about it
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
q spotted salamander. BY experiment.
tation an axolotl has been made to un-
dergo almost complete transformation
and then has been turned back into an
axolotl again.-Youth's Companion.

Their Annual Mad Rushes and Death

So far. however, but few salmon have
been canned on the Asiatic side.
To one who has eve witnessed
these annual runs 1t Is almost an i'm
possibility to convey an adequate i'm
preston of the countless numbers of
fish that swim in from the sea in the
late spring and summer. all imbued
with the same desire-to gain suitable
grounds In the upper reaches Of the
rivers. some of which are from 1900 to
$500 miles in length, where they may
perpetuate the species.
No obstacle appears too great to be
surmounted in this feverish rush.
Jumping falls. shooting rapids. dodg-

other enemies. fighting with other
males. whom the near approach Of the
