Stonehenoe.

No sooner had we set foot on the first swell of plain than became aware of what looked like a herd of elephants. half mile ahead. They did not move, and slowly it dawned upon me that this was Stonehenge. A few minutes later. seated within the circles of those enormous stones, was asking myself the old questions that so many travellers have asked. For worship. at least. these rude masses were erected; that seems fairly certain. And to commemorate battle. if one may judge from the barrows that crown the neighboring hillocks. Reli. zion and war-the two powers that have charmed and ruled and tortured the world. So mysterious is the whole of life, alike moral and physical. that the haunting wonder of Stonehense was neither increased nor lessened by what then l saw.-Scribner's.

Natural Aqe of Man.

The question as to what is the nat. ural age of man is by no means set tied of course, but many are of the opinion that the Frenchman Flourens was not far out of the way in his esti- mate of the time a man should live. Taking his observations from the group mammalia. of the class vertebra- ia. as having the closest resemblance to man and such species as are per mitted to live the full term of their natural life under circumstances not admitting of error or doubt. Flourens found that their natural life extended to about five times the period of their lives from birth up to maturity. Ap- plying the rule thus obtained to hu- man life and taking the age at which the body is fully matured to be twen- ty years. he concluded the natural duration of the life of man to be 100 years.

ENElAND'S THRONE.
Az One of the Heirs to It, the German
 Emperor is Very Remote.

Emperor Is very Kemo1e'
 In answer to the question. Was the emperor of Germany ever considered an heir to the English throne and did Queen Victoria have law passed to exclude him from the succession:" the Philadelphia Press says:
 ''Tbe possibility of the German em. peror ever succeeding to the throne of England is so very remote as to cause little thought. There was more or less talk on the subject at the time of the marriage of the kaisers mother to the heir to the German throne in 1858. but we are unable to find that any parlia- mentary action was taken even then.
 After King George come his five sons and one daughter and their chil- dren, if any; then King Georges sis daughters and the son of the elder: then Princess Victoria, then Queen Maud of Norway and her son. making thirteen at present living in the line of succession. After that the succession reverts to the descendants of the late King Edwards brother. Alfred. duke of Edinburgh; Arthur. duke of Con- naught. and Leopold. duke of Albany. As these all married and had numerous children and grandchildren. there is a long line of heirs to the throne before the succession would come to the de- scendants of the oldest sister of King Edward. the late Empress Frederick of Germany. the first of which line is Em. peror William

VIOLENT DEATHS.
Ono indication Is the Immediate Set
 ting In of Rieor Mortis.

 More than once the question of whether person has died natural or unnatural death turns upon something grasped in the hand. The object is held because the hand stiffens through what is known as rigor mortis pro- nounced rye-Gor mor-tis), stitfening of the muscles of the body after death.
 Now. if a person dies naturally this stiffening of the muscles does not take place. as q rule. until two hours or more after death. and then it comes Oil slowly. In cases of violent death. how ever, rigor mortis sets in immediately. It is through this that many a mur' derer has been caught and many so called accidental death proved to be in ,tentional.
 One of the most remarkable effects of this sudden stiffening after death ap- pears in the account of the charge of Balaclava. Captain Nolan while riding at the head of the noble six hundred had his chest torn open by Russian shell.
 The arm he was waving in the air at the moment remained high uplifted. and iae retained his seat on his horse. which wheeled around and passed some distance through the ranks before the rider fell.
 Portions of the hair and clothing of q murderer have often been found in the hands of the victim, while bodies re- covered from the water have brought with them clutched in their fingers weeds and mud from the bottom, show ing that death occurred in the water and not on land.-London Answers.

FlEEUEsr nF ALL DOGS.
G-syi,ss,e.s Can Run as Fast as Car.
 rier Piaeons Can Ely.

Comparatively few people realize of pabie. The wolf can run between fifty and sixty miles in one night. and the arctic fox can do quite as well. if not better. Nansen met one of these foxes on the ioe at a point more than seven ty miles northwest of the Sannikow territory, which is 49O miles from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel forty-five miles on the ice i'm five hours. and there is one case on record in which team of Eskimo dogs travelled six and one-half miles in twenty-eight minutes.
 English setters and pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour. and they can maintain the speed for at least two hours. FAx hounds are extraordinarily swift. as is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat thoroughbred horse. covering four miles in six and one half minutes. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four footed creatures. and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. Eng. fish greyhounds which are carefully selected and which are used for cours- ing are able to cover at full gallop a space between eighteen and twenty. three yards every second. It is said that hare at its greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of eight cen yards "a second. These interest ing statistics fully prove the right of the greyhounds to rank as the swiftest of the qnadrupeds.--Springfeld Repub- lican.

PITCHING IN BASEBALL.
Lack of Control Will Render Useless
 All Other Ability.

Lack of Control Will Render Useless
 All Other Ability.
 "1n my ten years connection with the American league as umpire have seen the fact proved again and again that control is absolutely necessary to win success" writes Billy Evans in St. Nicholas.
 "The more one studies the different features of the art of pitching the more clearly does he see the value that control plays in the success of the pitcher.
 If the pitcher knows the weakness of the batter and intends giving him q fast ball on the inside and then delib erately pitches to the opposite side his knowledge of the batter is of no use to him. Lack of control has rendered his knowledge useless.
 If he knows the shortstop is to GOV CT and then pitches ball to the batter that makes if easy for him to hit through the position vacated by the shortstop he nullifies the strength of his infield. Lack of control is again the cause
 If the catcher signals for a waste ball in order to be in better position to throw out runner trying to steal and instead he gets the ball right over the plate he is handicapping the catcher. Lack of control is again the cause.
 After all. most of the finer points of pitching are based on ability to con- trol the ball."

The work is being done di- rectly under Commissioner Mears but it will be really tributary to Seward as the Alaska Northern is now to be fixed for the full distance so that di- rect rail connection will be establish ed between that district and this city.

Many Species of Banana.

The banana as substitute for the potato would have one drawback. It has been found that those who live mainly upon this article of diet soon tend to become what is politely called "tubby." The banana with which we are all familiar is only one of many useful species. Cochin China produces a single fruit that is an ample meal for three men. and in East Africa an in toxicating drink is made from the na-
 tive banana.-London Chronicle.
