Human Sacrifices.

In battle the Aztecs strove to save life so that they could use their pris- oncrs as human sacrifices to the gods. They had the art of ambush reduced to such science that it was nothing un' usual for them to bring home 25,OOO prisoners after a campaign. Their bat ties were not fought for the sake of any principle. nor yet to gain territory They fought in order to capture prison CTS, and the hot headed young soldiers were given wooden swords. for fear they might in the heat of battle unwit- tingly slay foe. A dead enemy was already dead, and hence of no value for sacrificial purposes. Were the Az tees humans? Well. not so that you could notice. But their destruction of prisoners on the altars of their beauti- full temples was done in the name of religion and hence not reprehensible.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Test For q Field Glass,

Inquiry has it that the absolute and infallible test of field glass by the purchaser is to see what size letters can be read across the street from the opticians shop.
 It isn't. The real test is to climb up a long and bushy hill until the breath comes a hundred to the minute. then snatch for the glass. reposing in a shirt pocket. to see whether the buck is the one you want before you fire. If it won't go in your shirt pocket it is not the glass you want: others are made that will. If it shakes in your agitated hands it is not the glass you want. You cannot see enough more with a high power glass to pay for the times when it is unusable. because you cannot hold it steady.-Outing.

Animal and Plant Life In Brine.

Just west of Promontory Point sta tion, Utah, is pond cut off from the Great Salt lake by the railroad em. bankment. At times of high water in the lake this reservoir fills by percola tion through the embankment, but dur ing the summer this water is concen- trated to brine by evaporation. The deep pink color of the brine is phe nomcnon that appears in salt ponds generally when a certain concentration is reached. In the salt ponds of San Francisco bay this color is due to a certain bacillus which lives in satu- rated primes and also in the heaps of salt as it is piled for drainage and shipment. Prohibitive to life as such an environment might be considered. strong natural primes are. in fact, in habited by number of minute organ isms. animals as well as plants. The pink color disappears ill winter or when fresh water is introduced into the pond.-United States Geological Survey.

Eoru,nsa's Umbrella Sna30.


 Venomous snakes take the place of wild beasts in Formosa. and their at- tacks are formidable, says a Japanese traveller. who has just returned from d trip in the southern island. There is a venomous snake on that island by the name of amagasahebi. so called from its umbrella-like head. This snake is generally found in watery places, often in d ditch flowing out of kitchen. maid working in kitch. en is not infrequently startled at the ugly appearance of the snake. The animal makes q peculiar noise by the nimble movement of its tongue. A slight touch of its fangs is fatal. A native of 1he island was bitten by the snake in the thumb. A doctor who treated the wound made simple ap plication. The man returned home thinking the wound would soon bt cured, but to his consternation his arn had swollen up. He soon lost sight and hearing. Next morning he was dead East and West News.
