Ma.eots of olden DAYS.

Mascots have had their place in
the world for many generations.
Cats, as with the ancient Egyptians;
grasshoppers, as in Italy, and vari-
Gus other specimens of animal life
have in their time been counted as
sacred or lucky by different peoples.
So it is only a continuance Of old
customs that has caused baseball
teams to take along an animal or a
small boy when they go upon the
diamond to try their skill with 9TH
er players. The custom has spread
to such an extent that today there
is not a vessel in the navy Of the
United States that has not some
kind of mascot. This assertion will
apply with almost equal force to
the other navies Of the world

The Elephants Feet.

Accustomed to the dry climate of
the Indies, the elephants imported
to temperate and rainy countries
are subject to many diseases of the
flesh and skin to which the veteri-
nary surgeons of national and mu-
nicipal geological gardens are COM
PEELED to give the closest watch.
The smallest scratch on the sole of
an elephants foot is apt to become
serious unless Immediately treated
with an %antiseptic, and the horned
substance of the feet, not being ex-
posed to the wear produced by
roaming through a wilderness,
grows in captivity as rapidly as the
finger nails of a human being. The
veterinary surgeon trims these nails
or horned substances with a chisel
and mallet.

MAKING A SOLDIER.
Story Of a Badly Frightened Boy That
chaffee Took In Hand.

Story Of a Badly Frightened Soy INA
chaffee Took In Hand.
"There was a kid in the company
who couldn't have been over eight
cen. Never ought to have let him
enlist at all. He was always COM
planning and kicking, and at the
first fire down he went on his face
in the trench and lay there. One
of the men kicked him, but he
didn't stir. Then along came Gen
eral Chafree, cool and easy, and
sees the kid. whats the matter,
YOU fellow down there? Get up
and fight with your company No,
I can't whines the kid. tCan't?
cried Chaffee, jumping down into
the trench and hauling the boy up.
whats the matter with you that
o can't? Are you hurt?' No,
sir. I'm scairt. Pm afraid of get
ting hit well, you're a fine SOL

"Then he looked at the boyish
face of the lad and his own face
kind of softened. 4 suppose you
can't help it, he said. TT amt so
much your fault. I'd like to get
hold Of the fellow that took you
into the army I suppose any
other general would have sent the
boy to the rear in disgrace and
that would have been the end of it.
But Chaffee stood there with the
bullets kiyi-ing around him beside
the boy who had crouched down
again) and thought with his chin
in his hand. By and by he put his
hand on the boys shoulder.
"'There isn't as much danger as
you think for said he. Now get
up and take your gun and fight and
I'll stand here by YOU The boy
got up, shaking like a leaf and fired
his first shot pretty near straight in
the air. That's pretty high,' said
the general. Keep cool and try
again. Well, in three minutes that
scairt kid was fighting like a vet

when he saw it the general started
in. You're all right now, my boy

to retire from the trench, and we
had just to collar that young fell
low and haul him away by the neck

VARIETIES OF LIGHTNING.
The Luminous Ball Is as Destructive
as a Dynamite Bomb.


There are several varieties of
lightning or visible electric dis
charges in our atmosphere. They
are-tirst, the linclikc, wavy, often
branching, forked lightning; sec
ond, sheet lightning; third, st. El-
mos fire and the 'Fbrush' discharge;
fourth, ball lightning (also called
"Gre balls" and ''thunderbolts;'
fifth, the aurora borcalis Tor "po-
laris," since it occurs at both poles
of the carth).
The ''zodiacal light" is not, as
has been supposed, an electric dis
charge. Forkcd lightning is the
familiar, dangerous, sparklikc form
of discharge, and sheet lightning is
merely the reflection on clouds of
forkcd lightning, too distant to be
itself visible.
st. Elmo's fire is a continuous
brushIike silent discharge given off
sometimes at the masthead of ships.
A similar harmless discharge is
seen on mountain tops and is de-
scribcd by Alpine climbers. 1t was
seen and studied at the observatory
on Ben Nevis a few years ago.
Ball electricity is a very terrible
and uncommon thing. During a
thunderstorm a luminous ball from
a few inches to a yard in diameter
is seen moving near the surface of
the ground. 1t may rise and fall
and even enter an open door. Usual
ly when it touches any obstacle it
detonates and causes enormous de-
%struction, like a dynamite bomb.
The aurora borealis or northen
lights, better called aurora polaris,
is 8 form OF electric discharge in
our atmosphere which occurs only
near the arctic and antarctic region.
Its occurrence is not accounted for.
1t consists of curtainlike scintilla-
tions of colored light and is ac-
companied by a kissing or rustling
sound and may be related in ma
ture to the brushlike discharge of
St. Elmo's fire. The spectrum of
the aurora has been examined
and shows that it contains the gases
of our atmosphere (including the
are new gas k%rypton) in an mean
descent condition. - New York

JAPANESE O NJ WORKERS.
They Help Coal the Ocean Liners That
Call at Nagasaki.

Call at Nagasaki.
There is at least one place in the
world where a woman may earn as
much as a man for the same labor
and where the two sexes work side
by side. This is at Nagasaki, ia
pan. When a liner comes into port
the passengers who have been view
Fng the beautiful harbor observe a
fleet of barges laden with coal
which are lying in wait near the
anchorage. On most Of them are
twenty to thirty men and women,
the latter predominating.
These wear short skirts with
cloth stockings, and their heads are
covered with thin cotton cloth bear
ing a peculiar Japanese design in
blue print. Some of them have ba-
bies with them, and as the ship
draws near they hastily bind them
on the backs of little girls and boys
and make ready for work.
In a trice, it seems, at each of
the coal ports a pyramidal series of
platforms III rugged up, the lowest
level being just above the deck Of
the barge. Then on each platform
two women or a man and a woman
take their position, while a lot Of
men hurry down to the bunkers of
the ship to receive the coal after it
has been passed in and stow it
away. From the end of the plat
form a double line extends to where
men do nothing but throw a big
shovelful of coal in a shallow bas-
ket, which holds about a peck or a
peck and a half. The basket travels
from hand to hand, but part of the
effect of gravity is overcome by
the forward motion, for the recep-
tacle does not stop from the time
it is once in the air until it reaches
the ships side. The empty basket
is dropped with the same swing that
discharges its contents, and an old
woman sitting behind the man on
the top platform does nothing but
toss the baskets to the barge be-
low.
Nagasaki has the name of being
the Easiest" coal port in the
world, though the labor here is all
done by hand. To count the work.
ers who are engaged on the job is
difficult. Fresh barges keep coming
up all the time and fresh workers.
The Japanese contractor who sup
plies the coal told me later there
were about 900 men and women at
work. They fairly swarmed along
both sides of the ship. The pay
for this labor is by piece. Work
men and workwomen each gets 1
yen, or so cents, for days work of
eight to nine hours.
1t is bewildering to watch the
workers, for the baskets come up
so steadily it looks as though they
must be moved by machinery. Prac-
tice has taught men and women to
make each motion count, and the
whole effect is that of clockwork.-

their nests of branches of trees and

trees upside down and sit under
them during the heavy storms.
