LIGHT Of a Deep sea Shrimp.


One of the most extraordinary crus-
tacea ever discovered was dredged up
by the Prince of Monaco from depth
Of 10000 feet. It has been named
Oplophorus grimaldi 1t is sort Of
shrimp, and its popularity is that it
squirts from two holes near its mouth
liquid which, on coming into contact
with salt water, produces a fine pale
blue light
Absolute darkness reigns In the
depths where it lives, but the little
shrimp does not find it necessary to
keep it's light always burning. This
would use up too much energy, so it
squirts out the Illuminating fluid only
when it wants to look at something, or
perhaps to attract the minute animal
culae that form its food.-New York
World.

A Poverty Stricken Queen.

Partly owing to the fact that she
was welded to an avaricious king and
partly because she was generous with
the little money allowed her Elizabeth
Of York, queen of Henry VII, spent
but small amount for dress. She
was very often in debt, and the sums
she spent were ridiculously small, 20
shillings $50 being the greatest amount
expended at any one time. Her gowns
were mended and turned, and new
waists were made for them, as is
shown by the record Of bills paid to
her tailor. These bills prove that she
wore her clothes for long time, for
her gowns were obliged to be newly
hemmed, and also that, though prin-
cess of the great house of Plantagenet,
she wore shoes costing but "a cents,
which were decorated with tin buckles.

To Measure Distance on a Map.

Distance on a map is measured by
its "scale." If the scale is 1-625O0, as
in the case of the well known United
States geological survey maps, it means
that one inch on the map represents
62,500 inches on the ground, which
number is the approximate number of
inches in mile. Therefore the scale
is, roughly, one inch to a mile. If the
scale is 10000 the scale is approx
mately an inch and a half to mile.
By laying rule on the map and as
pertaining the number of inches be-
tween two points one can calculate the
number of miles between them. AS
the inch is the common unit of meas
ure in the United States by which the
eye is accustomed to judge distances
on paper, almost all maps are drawn to
a scale representing one, two, three or
more miles to the inch.-Outing

Storms and the Wind.

1t is curious fact that what is gen.
orally known in some of the eastern
states as a northeastern storm is in
reality, says Popular Mechanics, of
quite contrary origin. Because a
strong wind which frequently carries
heavy rain is apparently driven from
a northeasterly direction it is popular
ly assumed in a specific area that the
storm originates somewhere in a north
eastern zone, while in truth it's real
source is in the west or southwest.
The explanation is that such a disturb
ance is merely an indraft Of baro-
metric depression in the opposite direc-
ton. The storm is known as flare
back and is one of the conditions
which cause weather forecaster diff

DoDGIMG AN AVALANCHE.
A Risk That Often Must Be Faced In
Climbing the Alps.

Climbing the APPS.
While an Englishman was climbing
one of the peaks of the Alps he came
to a stretch of broken snow about 100
feet in breadth, composed Of the rem
nants Of avalanches which had fallen
from the face of the mountain above.
It was necessary to cross it. An ava
lanche had fallen ten minutes before
this Englishman and his two guides
had reached the place and another
would doubtless soon follow. The
crossing must be made between two
avalanches.
Twenty yards this side Of the snow
track and perhaps 100 yards from the
threatening snow wall the little party
paused for critical survey. The ques-
ton stood for instant decision. From
the appearance of the snow wall it
must be determined whether another
avalanche would fall within the next
few minutes.
Was 1t best to hurry silently across?
Was it best to wait? Was the next
section of the snow face in such a con-
dition that mighty yell would send
an avalanche down and gave them an
opportunity for a hasty retreat? On the
other hand, if they all yelled together
and no avalanche fell would the con-
cussion hasten the next fall, whereby
they might be overwhelmed In the
crossing?
One towering pinnacle of snow, push
ed little beyond its fellows, seemed
ready to totter to it's fall. They look
ed at it doubtfuIly. It ought to have
gone with the last avalanche. Would
it stand or would it fall within the
next three minutes? A hundred feet is
not much Of space to cross, but such
crossing, if through fresh, broken
snow from six to ten feet deep, is slow
and foundering work.
From the time that the party came
within view of the snow the utmost 81
lence had to be observed, and now,
the searching but momentary scruti-
ny completed, one of the guides whis-
pered that they could come along.
With noiseless speed they hurried for
ward Silently they struggled through
the snow and as silently emerged on
the other side.-Los Angeles Times.

THE CURIOUS KANGAROO.
A Theory Its Queer 4tyie Of Animal
Architecture SuqQeats.


Architecture Suggests.
The kangaroo family is unique and is
found only in Australia. It is the most
remarkable branch Of the order of the
marsupials, or pouched animals, the
pouch being a kind of pocket In which
the, young are nourished and protected
for long time after birth. The opos-
sum is an example Of a marsupiat in
habiting America, but it bears no out
ward resemblance to a kangaroo.
The marsupials arose in very ancient
geological times somewhere In the me-
sozoic age, and later on nearly disap-
peared except In Australia and neigh
boring islands, where today they con-
stitute the characteristic native fauna.
There is one curious fact about the
kangaroo which appears all the more
singular when we reflect upon the
great antiquity of the order of the mar
supials. 1t almost looks as If this ex-
traordinary Australian animal repre-
sents survival of style Of animal
architecture which was once a favorite
with nature, but has since been aban-
doned.
The frames of these creatures are
characterized by an enormous develop
ment of the posterior parts, including
gigantic tails and massive thighs and
hind legs. If any of the dinosaurs had
leaping power comparable with that

their forms must have been matched
by that arising from their movements.

our knock from an enjoyable after
dejeuner sleep. The artist and I were
leaving by the 3:15 train for Pont
Croix, and we didn't intend to come
back this way. It was Thursday, but
the jeweler had politely explained that
he could not give us the watch until to-
morrow, although it was all ready and
was hanging from its little hook In the

reason was that Thursday had been

Charm Cures.

tinct even today. Only short while

chemist with a request from her moth
er for spider in nutshell to hang

ing cough. In the west country some
still pin faith in the cure of whooping
cough by administering cooked DOR
mouse or by plucking hair from the
sick child's neck, hiding it in piece of
meat and giving it to dog. No child

is OUR CLIMATE cHANGING7
Not at All; It's About the Same Now
as II Was Aqes AGO.

Not at AiS It's About the same NOW
as It Was Ages Ago.
The question of the constancy Of the
climate must be discussed for three
different time intervals-first has the
climate remained constant during the
recent past, say the last hundred
yeais; secondly, has the climate re-
mail.ed constant during the historic
times, say the last 1000 years; third
ly, has the climate remained constant
during recent geologic ages, say the
last 100000 years?
There are many stations where me-
teorological observations have been
made for more than hundred years
in fact, few records cover more than
300 years. Based upon these observa-
tions, the statement can confidently be
made that the climate is essentially
the same now as it was many years or
even hundred years ago. This is
largely contrary to popular belief. It
means that, taking one year with an
other, the snowfall is just as large now
as then. 1t means that sleighing lasts
just as long now as then. 1t means
that the winters are no milder now
than then. 1t means that the sum-
mers are no hotter now than then.
The constant statements by the older
people that the climate is different
now than it used to be when they
were younger are due to the tendency
to magnify and remember the unusual,
while the ordinary is forgotten. Thus
in time it is only the unusual snowfall
or the extremely low temperatures that
are well remembered, and unconscious
ly the abnormal has thus been substi-
tuted for the normal. These state
ments are also due to the fact that the
attitude toward life, the amount Of en-
ergy, the daily occupations and per-
haps the place of residence Of the old
er people are very different now than
when they were younger.
In discussing the possible changes In
climate during the last 1000 years In
ference must be drawn from such re-
corded facts as the dates Of harvest,
the kind and amount of crops raised,
the kind of clothing worn by the peo-
pie, the habits of life of the people,
the existence of certain wild animals
and forest trees, the size of the rivers,
the height Of lakes and inclosed seas,
etc. From evidence of this kind the
conclusion has been drawn that there
have been no marked changes in cli-
mate during historic times.-From VIII
lis /. Milham's Book on Meteorology.

PEMN's OLD WOODS.
The Last Remnants of Our Once Great
White Pine Empire.

IaS6
White Pine Empire.
In the mountains north of Pittsburgh
there is a magnificent forest of white
pines, many of which were old when
the pilgrims landed at Plymouth. This
forest is one of the last remnants Of
all the vast white pine empire that
formerly extended from Maine to
Maryland, from Cape Cod to the prai-
ries Of Dakota.
, The white pine was the most useful
timber of this nations early history.
1t was used in building houses and
making furniture. 1t Served as fuel
and sturdy, white pine masts carried
the commerce Of the young United
States through all the seven seas. Pine
tree shillings were among the very ear
liest coins minted in America. The old
white pine flag was one Of the earliest
emblems of freedom that rose on the
western world.
The white pine is of an ancient and
honorable race. 1t has the majesty,
the vigorous individuality Of the pio-
neer. 1t is one of the tallest Of trees.
1t is poetical or picturesque, and its
stately dignity adds serenity and dis
tinction to every sylvan landscape in
which it stands.
The Cook forest that survives In
Pennsylvania contains several thou
sand acres. The veteran pines are
from two to five feet in diameter and
from 100 to $50 feet high. Groves Of
aged hemlock and scattering Of oak,
chestnut and maple mingle with the
white pine. The forest would make an
admirable state or national park. In
deed, a committee from the Pennsylva-
MIA state legislature has recommended
that this glorious remnant Of Penn's
woods be acquired and preserved by
the state.-Youth's Companion.

The Word Bible.

The word Bible is derived from the
Latin name Biblia, which was treated
as a singular, although it comes from
the Greek neuter plural meaning little
books" This Greek diminutive was
derived from byblus, or papyrus, the
famous material on which ancient
books were written. The title "Bible"
was first used about the middle of the
second Christian century in the so call
ed second epistle Of Clement, xiv, 2.
