PERFUME OF MUSK.

The odor Is Penetrating Because the
Substance Is Radio active.
The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er Of musk perfume is accounted for
by the fact that it IS radioactive. The
United States consul at Chunking,
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
in a way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry it If it IS held
close to the body for any length Of
time it produces sores that are proba-
bly, similar In character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk IS secretion Of certain glands
or pouches Of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
Of the year. 1t is difficult to obtain
pure, and one Of the largest French
manufacturers Of perfume keeps rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border, for the sole purpose OF
buying it
Three thousand pounds Of musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half Of this
has passed through Tachienlu, which
is one of the principal musk markets of
the world, though eighteen days jour
ney from Chunking, the nearest port
The deer, which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-five inches tall, are being
slaughtered In such numbers that they
are becoming more an more scarce

Quarantined.

In one Of the little mountain towns
Of the south q Chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes especially did not under
stand what it was all about.
Across the front Of the little hotel OF
the village was flung banner bearing
the one word "Chautauqua."
Up to this hotel one day drove an old
negro in a cne horse wagon containing
a few vegetables, which he hoped to
sell to the proprietor, rs he had done
on former occasions. But when ne
saw the banner with its ominous word

ODDITIES OF VISION.

Peculiar Optical Effects and the Yellow
Spot In the Eye.
If one places a pinhead up close to
and directly in front Of the eye the
head Of the pin appears transparent
and things may be seen as easily
through it as through sheet Of isin-
glass, the head appearing simply as a
large round cloud If it IS placed some
what closer no pin or head can be
seen at all.
If one goes into very dark room
and puts lighted candle near the side
Of one eye very pretty and peculiar ef-
fects are observed. a tracery, form
ing a regular network, can be easily
detected, and this IS merely the shadow
thrown by the candle on the retina OF
the eye of the small capillary blood
vessels between the retina and the
candle.
If one looks to the side Of a dim star
In the heavens the star appears great
deal brighter than direct vision makes
it appear. This is because the light
in the direct view falls on what Is
known as the "yellow spot" or point Of
keenest vision. AS this is not put d.
rectly behind the front of the eye the
side glance is necessary. Some people
can see stars that way that they can
not perceive at all on direct VISION

Eighteen Years in Cold Storage.

It is an axiom Of good cooking that
beef should be well hung before being
sent to the chef, but the owners OF a
certain hind-Quarter which was ex-
hibited at Smithfeld market in Lon
don recently have surely gone to rath-
er extreme lengths in this matter, for
they have kept it In cold storage for
18 years. When it was taken "of the
ice," 50 to speak, and looked at by ex-
peTts armed with nothing more
formidable than magnifyirs glasses,
they unanimously reported that it was
still sweet and sound, and apparently
lacking but little in nutritive quail
ties. A piece was. cut of and sent
to the analysts so that they might
ascertain by scientific methods exact
ly what chemical changes, if any, 1t
had undergone. The now famous joint
was shipped In 1896, and sold to affirm

retained it in their cold store there

Science cutdoes Nature In Raising the
Young Fish.
The brook trout is q nest builder, but
does not belong to the group Of fish
which cares for its eggs and young
When the function Of egg laying is
completed aud the nest covered with
gravel the parent fish seem to feel that
their whole duty has been performed,
and they depart, leaving both eggs and
the young when they are hatched to
the care of nature, and nature, 1t must
be confessed, is generally neglectful of
her charge.
Early in autumn the mature brook
trout in pairs seek the gravelly bot
toms Of shoals and spring runs. Here
with nose and fms theys1ollow out a
shallow basin and make it scrupulously
clean This is their nest, and over the
bottom the eggs are scattered, covered
with gravel, and their duty to posterity
is ended:
Only 4 small proportion Of the eggs
deposited naturally are fertilhed, and
many Of these are destroyed by spawn
eating fishes. Nest Of the tiny fish
which do develop and succeed in punch
ing hole through the egg shell with
their little tails and emerging into a
watery world do so only to find quick
lodgment in some larger fish.

also that they were not believed.

The Colossus Of Rhodes.

The remains Of the Colossus Of
Rhodes have been dispersed beyond
possibility Of recovery or even Of trac-
ing. It stood for little more than half
a century and then, in 224 B. c., was
overthrown by an earthquake. The
Rhodians raised from benevolent out
stders large sums Of money for its res
teration, but dirided the fund among
themselves, asserting that the oracle
Of Delphi had forbidden them to set
It up again. So there the ruin lay un-
til 6T2 A. D., when the Saracens sold
It to a Jewish merchant, who loaded

Soho Square, London.

Soho is perhaps the most curiously
derived place name in London. Ac-
cording to Samuel Pegge. the an
tiquary, Soho square, which has given
q name to the district, was first called
Monmouth square when the Ill fated
Duke Of Monmouth Lad house there.
Upon the dukes defeat and execution
In 1856 the square was ordered to be
called Kings square, and statue OF
King Charles II. was set up in the
middle of it. But the partisans Of the
Duke Of Monmouth, wishing to pre-
serve distant remembrance Of their
leader. called it Soho square, from
"Soho!' a hunting cry adopted by the
duke as his watchword at the battle
where he was taken prisoner.-London

Ben Jonson called 1t, and in Holinshed

The French have a special verb,
'berner," for it, "berne" being the
name given to the sheet or blanket
used. The verb 'berner" is also used
for the Moorish punishment, in which
four men hold the victim by his an
kles and wrists and send him as high
as they can-presumably with no blan'
ket to catch him.
