Oddities of Moas.

The lichen Is a very strange plant. and moss is almost as queer. Like the llchen, moss is hard to kill, and for the. same reason. Although it loves water, 1t can dry up without doing it. self the least harm and then neither cold nor heat can hurt 1t.
 Mosses that have been kept for years will come to life and grow again if they can get water. Even artificial drying, greater than anything they would ever have to endure in ma ture. does not kill them. A German scien- tist brought piece of moss to life after it had been kept eighteen months in a drier. This, by the way, is q nice little puzzle. for the scientists Why should the mosses have a power of resisting dryness so much greater than they need? No one has been able to find the answer yet, and there are many puzzles of the same kind in na- ture .t .Nyf....t Even if the moss is broken to pieces In its dry state no harm Is done, be- cause each separate piece will grow into new plant.-Philadelph Led ger

Silkworm Fish Lines.

China produces quantities of the glu. tinous thread generally known as silk fishing line or silkworm gut The so called silk fish line or silkworm gut Is usually prepared from silkworms in the caterpillar state. When the worms are about to spin their cocoons they are killed by lightly pulling them so as to break their skins. after which they are immersed in vinegar for a considerable period. Then they are pulled apart in way to draw out n long, glutinous thread formed by the silky secretion of the worm. This thread is then stretched on board or otherwise and dried in the sun. In the West river district about Wuchpu whence most of the Hongkong exports come, the silkworm is usually a spe cial wild green variety about three inches long and is fed on leaves of the camphor tree. The threads vary in length from three to six feet.

ThaekeraN In Raltinore.

The first and only time l saw him tThackerayl was in Baltimore when l was seventeen years old.
 He and John r. Kennedy, a friend of my father. strolled one Saturday afternoon into the Mercantile library, where we boys were reading.
 "Lookw came from tangle of legs and arms punched up in an adjoining easy chair. That's the Mir. Thackeray who Is featuring here"
 My glance followed a directing fin- ger and rested on a tall, rather un- graceful figure. topped by a massive head framed about by a fringe of whitish hair, short, fuzzy whiskers, crumply collar and black stock. Out of a pink face peered two sharp, in- quiring eyes. these framed again by the dark rims of a pair of heavy spec tacles, which, from my point of sight. became two distinct dots in the round of the same pink face. The portrait of Horace Greeley widely published during his presidential campaign-the one all throat whiskers and specta- cles-has always recalled to my mind this fash glimpse of the great author, whom afterward learned to revere.- r.

Power of Water.

The power of water is enormous. A tiny jet of water descending 1000 feet traveling at the rate of 100 yards Il second cannot be cut into with m ax or a sword. It will fracture the best blades of Toledo steel. 1t will hurl an ax through an oak plank. It is quite impossible for a man to cut this stream through. To compute the power of fall ing water it Is necessary to multiply the volume of flowing water in cubic feet per minute by its weighs ti25 pounds. and this product by the yer hcaI height of the fall In feet and di- vide by 33.000, the number of foot pounds representing one horsepower for one minute. A stream of water when flowing over weir five feet in length by one foot in depth at the rate of one foot a second and having fall of twenty feet develops eleven horse power.

Ever Eat lt9

There is dish of the olden time that has been crowded almost out of mem ory by the ruthless tide of common events. 1t was a cold weather food that came with the snow and hog kill ing time and then vanished with the angry clouds and bowling winds.
 When one ate it the green grass melt ed away the snow, the birds sang in the blossoming cherry trees and old frigid winter became the middle of May. It was so easy to eat 1t melted In the mouth like ice cream, it was so soft and delicate. Let person fully satisfy his appetite on it. and he could go out in zero weather and enjoy n tropical blessing. This food did not last long, for 1t was part of an event that soon hurried by, and this was a grateful dispensation, too, for person would be apt to eat too much of 1t if 1t lasted long. But 1t is we'll 1t passed away. This degenerate generation, filled with caramels and angels food. couldn't appreciate 1t. But in those beautiful days before the war 1t was a beloved diet.

Cold and CoIda.

"without having gone anywhere near either pole" writes a Correspondent of the London Chronicle. II have had my experience of the fact that intense cold outside stops the cold in the head. We were six men essaying the ascent of the Grand Combin in the Alps lover 14,00o feet. From our first attempt we were driven back by a thunder. storm, and a stay of some hours to dry in the hut with the stove going woke up all the microbes. When we return cd to the hut next day from the valley there were at least four severe colds among us, with sneezing and sore throats. On the third morning we trav- ersed our peak. slowly cutting snow and Ice steps In weather memorably bitter even for that height, On the other side 1t suddenly occurred to me that had no 'cold' left, and the others made the same discovery"

Stokino the Meat.

In "Our Southern Highlanders" Hoe ace Kephart says:
 'The mountaineers have an odd way of sharing the spells of the chase. They call 1t 'stoking the meat-a use of the word stoke that l have never heard elsewhere. The hide is sold and the proceeds divided equally among hunters, but the meat is cut ur into as many pieces as there are part ners in the chase. Then one man goes indoors or behind a tree, and some body at the carcass calls out, Whose piece is thisT,
 Granville Calhoun's.' cries the hid den man. who cannot see it.
 "'Whose is thisT
 "'Bill Cope's.'
 And. so on down the line. Every body gets what chance determines for him, and there can be no charges of unfairness."

Moods of the Bay of Fundy.

The bay of Fundy is full of strange and contradictory features. Grand Manan island. which lies to the port hand of vessel entering the bay. is one rocky graveyard-on the reef to the southeast an impaled ship is a com mon sight. Every indentation, nay, every rocky crunny, bears some ter rible and suggestive name descriptive of some maritime tragedy. On the island, twelve miles in length and scarcely inhabited, Is graveyard filled with the bodies of unknown sailors. A little above Trinity rock the coast of Nova Scotia rises in rocky parapets from the sea and n narrow inlet admits to the Annapolis valley where, strange toisay, the eye rests on fertile valley of apple orchards which raise the highest priced fruit in the world. In this sheltered space Is climate which. owing partly to the gulf stream and partly to position, differs altogether from the arctic cold of the stormy sea without Westmin. ster Gazette.
