Spain as a Republic.

Isabella H. when thirteen years old
was declared of age by the cortes in
1916. and after a stormy reign of TWEEN
ty-fve years was deposed by revolu-
ton which began in the feet on Sept.
Is. 1868, and was joined by the garri-
son and city of Cadiz and by nearly
all of Spain during the month. A pro
visiOnal government was established
and Marshal Serrano was made regent.
The cortes voted for monarchy on
May q. 1869. and after several offers
of the throne had been refused it was
finally accepted by Amadeus. duke of
Aosta, who was proclaimed king on
Nov. Z. 1870.

Frederick the Greats Joke.

Among the embellishments which
Berlin owes to Frederick the Great the
new palace" is the most conspicuous.
This magnificent building was erected.
it is said TO show Frederick's enemies
that his many-wars had not exhausted
his exchequer. And further to show
his contempt for the countries which
had sought to crush him at the top of
the cupola he placed a group of three
women dancing together. the figuring
representing Catherine the Great. Ma
ria Theresa and Nine. de Pompadour.
The wrath of the two expresses was
unbounded at finding themselves de-
picted in such an attitude and such
company. so Frederick was able to con
graduate himself on thoroughly sue

Human Sacrifices.

In battle the Aztecs strove to save
life so that they could use their pris-
oners as human sacrifices to the gods.
They had the art of ambush reduced to
such science that 1T was nothing IN
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;
ers. and the hot beaded young soldiers
were given wooden swords. for fear
they might in the heat of battle unwit-
tingly slay a foe. A dead enemy was
already dead. and hence of no value
for sacrifcial purposes. Were the Az
tees humans? Well. not so that you
could notice. But their destruction of
prisoners on the affairs of their beauti-
full temples was done in the name OF
religion and hence not reprehensible.-

Animal and Plant Life In Brine.

Just west of Promontory Point sta
ton. Utah, is a pond cut off from the
Great Salt lake by the railroad en-
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
nOmenon 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 brines and also in the heaps of
salt as it is piled for drainage and
shipment. Prohibitiye to life as such
an environment might be considered.

pink color disappears ia winter or
when fresh water is introduced into

The Man-of-W Bird.

The frigate pelican, or man-of-war
bird. is usually met with by travellers
in the tropics Although when stripped
of it's feathers it is hardly larger than
Il pigeon. yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips Of its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex-
ceedingly light, and the whole appa-
ratus of air cells is extremely deveE
Oped, so that it's real weight is very
trif1ing. 1t flies at a great height above
the water and from that elevation
pOunceS down on fish. especially pre-
ferring the poor prosecuted flying fish
for it's prey. According to some au-
thors. the name of man-of-war bird
was given to it. because its appearance
was said to foretell the coming of a
ship, probably because the frigate peli-
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor if the weather threatens.
