A YsII end q Mirror.

From a feminine source comes a
question which Is more easily answered
at first than at second thought-a Ques-
tion-that Is, which Is not quite as sim
pie as It seems. II Is this:
Does a woman wearing a veil see
when she looks In a mirror what an
other person sees who looks at her
through her yeil7
On consideration one realizes that the
yelled woman looks through her ven at
an image which IS itself yelled, and
therefore she apparently looks at her
self through two wells instead Of the
one which Is all that dims to the vision
Of the other observer. Then there Is
the further fact that In a mirror what
was right becomes left and vice versa,
so that what one sees there Is not a
picture OF oneself, but Of somebody
who Is Ike oneself only as one OF a
pair OF gloves Is Ike the other.
That, however, has nothing to do
with the question as to the wells, and
that is quite complicated enough to
stand alone.-New York Times.

The great railroad bridge across the

which Is carried down from the Hima-
layas- An obstacle such as a sunken
boat or tree causes this fine sand to
be disturbed to as great a depth as
fifty feet Another difficulty Is the
habit OF the Ganges to change its
course rather whimsically. The point
at which the river has been bridged Is,
% far as could be ascertained from
available records, the one place at
which these deviations OF the river
have been at minimum. The river Is

MunioinaI eranariss.

For more than two centuries the au-
thorities Of London maintained munici-
pal granaries, the first one having been
established by Sir Stephen Brown, lord
mayor, in 143S. By means OF these
city granaries the authorities held the
"corn badgers" in check and regulated
not only the price OF corn, but OF bread.
The great fire in London destroyed the
last Of these granaries and also the
public mills and ovens In which the
city's grain was ground and baked. and
the system was not thereafter intro
duced, chiefly because the general laws
against grain spectators were suf1-
Client to restrain undue speculation.

nn.. cIond. Armiaa MAKO,

An army on the march along dry
roads naturally throws up very heavy
dust clouds. To those who haven't
been trained one dust cloud looks very
much Ike another, but to a soldier
these dust clouds tell a very clear
story.
The dust clouds thrown up by In
fantry, for example, hang In a low,
thick cloud. The longer the cloud the
more men underneath It, and a scout
can by this means make q fairly accu-
rate guess Of the number of men on
the march
Cavalry ON the march sends up a
dust cloud that Is much higher and
thinner than that Of infantry. The
most distinctive Of these dust clouds,
however, IL that made by wagons and
heavy guns. The dust rises In little
groups Of clouds, quite different from
the long clouds OF cavalry and infantry.
So even when unable to see the &C
tual cause Of the dust, a scout can
tell many miles away what kind of
