CLEOPATRA and Poisons.

Cleopatra assembled all kinds Of
deadly poisons and began experiments
with all the criminals sentenced to
death In order to see if the action of
the poison was painless. AS she OBJ
served that those which acted quickly
brought death with great pain and that
the milder pOisons worked slowly, she
began experiments with poisonous an
finals, setting them upon other ami
mails In her presence. This she did
daily and noted that among them all
only the bite Of a certain poisonous
snake evoked without tremor or pain a
certain numbness and lnvincible desire
for sleep so that the victims gradually
died with light sweat upon the face
and gradual darkening of the senses.

COLOSSAL GRAvEYARDS.
Imposing Mountains That Are Built Of
Animal Skeletons.

Many Of the most imposing mountain
ranges of the globe are largely made
up OF limestones composed almost en-
tirely Of the hard parts of animals
which once lived In the sea, the most
important of these rock building forms
being OF q very small size. The solid
earth is, In fact, a colossal graveyard,
end many of its most imposing eleya-
lions are stupendous tombstones.
The chalk making up the white cliffs
to which England owes her name of
Albion QIatin, albus, white is chiefly
composed of microscopic shells closely
resembling those now found at the
bottom of the sea. Hills and mountain
ranges largely made of this chalk ex-
tend from Britain and France round
the shores of the Mediterranean and
away into Asia and are largely repre-
scented in other parts of the world.
Even more remarkable Is the limestone
of which the pyramids are built.
This is chiefly made up Of coin shap-
ed shells (mummulites), partly respon-
sible, no doubt. for eastern legends Of
magic money. The limestone contain
ing them attains a thickness Of sever
al thousand feet and IS the material Of
which many mountain ranges are
largely built Beginning on the west,
we have the Pyrenees and Alps, fol-
lowed by the Carpathians, Caucasus,
mountains of Asia Minor. north Africa
and Baluchistan and, lastly, the Sulei-
man mountains, Himalayas and ranges
in China and Japan.

uah;4s of he Wildcat.

To say that dog can whip his
weight In wildcats" is to pay about the
highest tribute to his strength, eour-
age and activity. and there are very
few dogs that would care to earn such
a tribute If they understood all 1t I'M
piled. Not that wildcat is of spe-
cially aggressive disposition. On the
contrary. he would sooner mind his
own business any time than fight so
anxious is he as a rule to keep OUT
of trouble that he has often been ac-
cused Of cowardice. but he has on so
many occasions given evidence or the
most desperate courage that 1t Is
doubtful If the accusation is fair
one. When wounded or at bay he is
perhaps as dangerous as any creature
of his size.

MODERN GREEKS.
Those at Home Outnumbered by Those
In Other Countries.

In Other Countries.
What and who are these modern
Greeks2 The most skeptical investi
gators admit that in most of them is
some blood transmitted from ancient
Greece and that there is a proportion
Of Greek descent in Greece about equal
to that OF Anglo-SaX descent in
America. For the rest the modern
Greeks are either Albanian or Slav or
Vlach.
Besides the Greeks in Greece there
are other Greeks who far outnumber
them. They are found on all the coasts
of the Ottoman empire. Crete and the
other islands until very lately under
Turkish sovereignty have no other in
habitants important in numbers. They
are numerous in Asia Minor. In Syria
and in Egypt
While domiciled elsewhere they re

TESTING A FREIGHT CAR.
Shower Baths Are Used For Detecting
L.eaky Roofs.

Shower baths for freight cars? Ger
tainly. Treating the cars to a good
bath every now and then is the method
which railroads have devised to pre-
vent having to pay for freight dam
aged while in transit by water leaking
through the car roofs.
To detect a leak In the roof Of a
freight car before ii has caused any
damage to the goods inside IS no easy
matter. Previous to the introduction
of the shower baths for ears railroads
frequently had to pay heavy bills for
damage caused by roofs which were
supposedly In the best of condition.
To overcome this difficulty on several
large railroad systems every car Is
given at regular intervals severe test
for leaks by means of shower baths.
The bathing apparatus is rugged over
a track alcng which the car is run at
slow speed. Enormous volumes Of wa
ter are poured upon the car and with
such force that water viii find its way
inside if there is any fault in the roof
sheathing or ends.
AS soon as the car energies from the
bath inspectors examine it carefully
and mark with chalk any signs Of
leaks.
A car thus marked is sent to the
shop to be made waterproof Before II
is sent out to resume its work it is sub
jected to a second shower bath TO de
termine whether the repairs have been
satisfactorily made.-New York Ameri

MOVING PICTURES.
Why They Appear to the Eye as One
Continuous Photograph.

Motion pictures depend for their sue
cessful operation upon the physiology
cal phenomenon known as persist
ence Of vision" If. for instance, a
bright light Is moved rapidly In front
of the eye in a dark room 1t appears
not as a spark, but as a line Of light
A so called shooting star produces
the same effect
This result is purely physiological
and is due to the fact that the retina
of the eye may be considered prac-
ticaly as a sensitized plate Of rela-
lively slow speed, so that an image
impressed upon it remains. before be-
ing effaced, for period ranging from
One-sixteenth to one-seventh Of a sec
0nd, according to the idiosyncrasies of
the individual and the intensity of
the light.
SO 1t will be seen that If number
OF pictures are successfully presented
to the eye they win appear as a single
continuous photograph. provided the
periods between them are short enough
to prevent one Of the photographs be
ing effaced before its successor is pre-
scented to the eye.
II, for instance, series of identi
cal portraits were rapidly presented
to the eye a single picture would APP
parently be viewed, or If we presented
TO the eye a series of photographs Of
moving objects, each one representing
II minute successive phase of move
ment, the movements themselves would
appear to be taking place. This is the
principle Of moving pictures.-New
York Times.

SYRIAN SAND STORMS.
Experience of a Missionary In Wres-
Ting With a WhirIvsind.

lung WIN a NniFIWiNQs
One of the remarkable features Of
the climate and atmosphere of Syria
IS the prevalence Of whirlwinds and
waterspOuts, both on land and over
the sea. They are most prevalent In
the deep trough Of the Jordan valley
and also IN CoelaSyria, where the
Lebanon and anti Lebanon form an
other trough for the winds. They
sometimes do an immense amount of
damage and often at most unexpected
seasons
AS touring missionary in northern
Syria / often met the whirlwinds.
They appear In the shape of column
of dust perhaps two to five feet I'm
diameter, rising straight in the air for
several hundred feet. opening like a
large funnel at the top. The lower end
touches the ground and swings over
the surface, picking up dust and peb-
bles In it's path. The char and even
grain on the thrashing floors are suck
ed up and disappear. Small fish are
sometimes drawn up when the sway
ing column passes over stream or
lake.
Many years ago l made the expert
ment Of riding through the swaylng
column Of rather innocent looking
whirlwind. My horse was terrified,
and had difficulty in keeping my seat
in the saddle 1t is impossible TO say
exactly what did happen. 1t took me
some time to find my hat and several
days to get the sand and dust from
my eyes and ears and clothing, and

II Dazed the Culprit's Lawyer, Who
Felt He Had Won His Case.
The following experience of a Mis-
sissippi lawyer was related by himself
years ago. He said:
/ was defending a prisoner for horse
stealing, and seeing no other means Of
defending him under the circumstances
/ set up the plea of insanity. argued
1t at length, read many extracts from
works of medical Jurisprudence and
had the patient attention of the court
The prosecuting attorney did not at
tempt to reply to my argument or CON
trovert my authorities. / seemed to
have things my own way and whisper
ed to the prisoner that he needn't be
uneasy.
Then came the judges charge, in
which he reminded the jury that
there was no dispute between counsel
as to the facts of the case. Indeed,
there could not have been, for several
witnesses had sworn positively that
they saw my client steal the horse.
But" concluded the court, "the plea
Of insanity has been set up, and l
charge you, gentlemen of the jury,
that it should receive your very grave
and serious elaboration, but l must be
allowed to say, gentlemen. that for
myself, upon a review of the whole
case, | can discover no evidence of In
sanity on the part of the prisoner, ex-
cept perhaps IN the selection of his
