The calaveras Skull.

Of interest in connection with ter tiary gold bearing river grave!S of California is the story of the Calaycras skull. For time this skull attracted much attention not only from the peo- pie in California. but from scientific men the world over. 1t was reported to have been found in 1856 near the town of Angels, Calaveras county, at depth of 130 feet, in tertiary gray els underlying tertiary lava. The find ing of human skull embedded in such deposits was for time believed to indicate that man had been in exist Cnce in North America longer than had been supposed. Strange to say. the skull is of a higher type than skulls which, although known to antedate his toric times. are known also to be much younger than the tertiary. Although Professor J. D. Whitney. then state geologist, accepted the skull as bit of genuine scientific cvidosnce. it is gen. orally believed by students of the an- tiquity of man that the Calaveras skull. while undoubtedly old. probably did not come from the auriferous travels at all.-Argonaut.

A GrSr1 Cathedral,

Once the capital of the kingdom of Portugal. Coimbra possesses n number of interesting monuments. Its cathe- dral dates from the early period when it upon the west. Toledo i'll tho center and Saragossa to the east were the Christian outposts against the intldel. Its color, deep golden brown, is like that of an old warrior tanned by the wars. Squarely seated upon its plat form. its walls pierced only by narrow windows that resemble loopholes. its roofs and parapets embattlcd, it recalls the day when praying and fighting went hand in hand, and its rough hewn stones sheathe it as in a bronze crirass chased with the delicate tracery of its south door added at Il later epoch. Its interior, too, is severely plain, though adorned wEh the only fine rere- dos that I saw in Portugal, and with side chapels that contain a notable ar. ray of old blue tiles.-Ernest PeiXotto in Scribner's.

A Christmas Church

~ I'VE me q snug little church. M dressed for the holidays in SE greens. wreaths of holly, long
 hanging garlands of ground pine and laurel, perhaps rather awkward ly, but none the less lovingly, arranged by interested church members, not by a hired florist. and filling the building with the breath of outdoors.
 I want some trees on the pulpit and high overhead a blazing star of fire, shining out into the semi-twilight of the building. I want to rise in the starlighted darkness of a properly frosty Christmas morning and in ev- eryday clothes, wearing mittens. if choose, and my second best hat, walk briskly through quiet streets to the church and join the waiting congrega- tion.
 There won't be a crowd. There will be no display. Only a few score of those to whom Christmas means a wonderful reality will be there. And there will be congregational singing, lots of it, and we'll run the gamut of the hymns of the Nativity. We'll read the appropriate Scripture responsively and listen to the Christmas story told once again by the kindly voice of the unpretentious clergyman. - New York Evening Post.

Hidinq Behind Smoke.

The accuracy of modern naval gun nery is so marvellous that the only hope for a ship to escape being sunk when within range of the guns is to hide itself. That is easier said than done, however, and there is ol>.y one way in which it can be done, and that is by means of smoke screen" lt is hard for one ship to hide herself behind her own smoke unless the wind is favorable, but for number of ships to put a huge fog of black smoke be tween them and their pursuers is com paratively easy. The smoke is caused by oil fuel, and it can be turned ofi or on at will by supplying more or less air to the furnaces. 1t is so dense and black that it is quite Impossible to sec more than n few yards through it.

Witnhns nf Gnrn,nnu

Freiburg-im- Breisgau made 1t hot for witches in the old days. No town in Germany was more famous for dc.cct- ing witches and for burning them. These incidents are said to have aver aged nearly one n month. The suburb of the Wiehre was especially notorious. and the local eXecutioner won bet that there were more witches in this village than could be packed into Il four horse wagon. Maria Theresa, however, put down witch burning, and the last instance in the neighborhood occurred in 1751. But on the Handel, a hill not far off, all the witches of the Black forest are still reputed to assem- ble periodically.-London Chronicle.
