Underuround Mountains.

A curious result of operations by the trigonometrical survey in India was the conclusion that there was in the middle of India an under ground or buried mountain range a thousand miles in length and lying about parallel with the chain of the Himalayas.
 This conclusion was based on the singularities of the local attraction of gravitation in central India, the plumb line being dcAected south ward on the north side of the supposed subterranean chain and 1orthward on the south side, lead ing to the inference that a great elongated mass of rock of excessive density underlies the surface of the earth between the two sets of ob- serving stations.

Makinq Themselves Known.

"Persons who expect to receive money orders in strange town take infinite precautions to identify themselves" said a postal clerk. "one way that particularly con- mends itself is for the stranger to call on the paying teller in the money order department before his own order arrives and present a bunch of correspondence showing pretty clearly who he is. He then explains that he is expecting a money order from a certain person. Can the clerk remember him when he presents it for payment? After that impressive introduction the clerk usually can remember, and when the order is presented he cashes it."-New York Sun. :,

Getting Out. of It.

Constable, the English painter, attended an exhibition of land scapes and sea views which was the work of another eminent artist whom he detested. "Like putty" he growled as he scanned them over. It happened that friend of the painters was present and was SO stupid as to repeat Constable's remark. When, later, Constable, meeting the gentleman whom he had condemned, congratulated him upon one of his works, the latter said, "Why, I am told you say my pictures are putty" "What of that'" replied Constable. q like putty"

TALK WITH THEIR HANDS.
The Sign Language Used on chicaso's
 Board of Trade.

The Chicago board of trade is by far the most important grain ex- change not only of this country, but of the world, and few people are familiar with its method of op- eration.
 People who visit the board of trade are perhaps most impressed by the sign language used in buy ing and selling grain for future de- livery. Unlike anything else seen in any other line of business, this won derful system, while simple in its execution, nevertheless puzzles the initiated. It is a system that has grown up with the board, and trad CTS would be helpless without it. In that awful din, where hundreds of men and boys are rushing about and shouting and countless telegraph in- struments are clicking, individual voices are smothered, and the trader must talk, with his hands.
 He has no time to waste. A lost second may mean hundreds of dol lars to him. By simple movement of his finger the trader makes it known whether he would buy or sell, which price he is willing to pay or take and what quantity he wishes to trade in. All the information necessary to consummate a deal, in volving perhaps thousands of dol lars, is conveyed by a few move ments of the hand.
 Each finger extended represents one-eighth of cent. Thus when all four fingers and the thumb are extended, all being spread out from one another, it means tive-eighths. When the four fingers and thumb arc extended, but are pressed close together, it represents three-quar- ters. The clinched hand, with the thumb alone extended, is seven- eighths, while for an even cent the closed fist is used. The thumb pro truding between the index and big finger is the signal for split quo tation. Nothing less than 10000 bushels can be traded fin on a split quotation, which, if 903s-$4, means that half is taken at 9O2s cents and half at 9034 cents.
 These characters refer to the price, and the hands and fingers are held in a horizontal position. When displayed vertically the quantity is indicated, each extended finger rep resenting 5000 bushels. When the desire is to sell the palm of the hand is held outward, and when the trad CT wishes to buy he signals with the palm facing him.-Popular Science Monthly.

NATURES CONVERSATIONS.
When One sonse Is Dulled Another
 raeu.,y IS Awakened.

When One Sonse Is Dulied Anosher
 raeu..y IS Awakened.
 As we get older (oh, the pity of it-before We leave the grammar school ) one or more of our faculties of sense begin to fail.
 Few people know how to smell. Most children have spectacled eyes. Few more than thirty-fve years can near well, and few possess sensitive fingers.
 Eyes constantly raised to black boards or bent upon the printed page or working under electric lights are overstrained. Outdoor seeing gives d more varied and less tasked exercise of sight. At least one day in the week we can relieve nonotonous study or labor with new and restful outlook.
 Pleasure in using our five senses keeps them in good working order. People who can be intensely inter- asted in their labor seldom feel a strain.
 Our dulled faculties become so as much from lack of use and lack of pleasure in use as from overwork.
 But there is always a compensat- ing gift if for any reason one or more faculties have become dull. The deaf one sees the keener. The dim sighted person generally hears like lynx or smells with the nose of dog. Nature always brings about this sharpening of one sense if another sense is slow. Insects, animals, birds, usually have not more than one sense made marvel susly keen to outwit and survive danger. The coyote does not see extra well. The hawk does not hear extra well. The snake neither hears nor sees above ordinary power, but with the whole length of his body he feels an infnitesmal vibration.
 If an animal becomes deaf or blind on one side he develops anoth- CT sort of sensitiveness on that side of his body. He feels when he can not see or hear on one side. Often he is quicker to perceive on his blind or deaf side than with his normal organs.-Virginia Ballen in San Francisco Bulletin.

Cloud Colorlngs.

The blue color of the sky is owing to floating particles of invisible dust that break up and scatter the short waves, which are the blue waves, of light. This occurs principally at a great elevation, where the atmos- pheric dust is extremely fine, while in the lower regions of the air, where the dust is coarser, the scat tering affects all the rays, or col ors, alike. The brilliant fringes of clouds, seen nearly in the direction of the sun, are largely due to dust, which especially accumulates in the neighborhood of clouds and refracts .he sunlight around their edges.

Lamb Didn't Like Byron.

So we have lost another poet. l never much relished his lordship's mind and shall be sorry if tho Greeks have cause to miss him. He was to me offensive, and I can never make out his great power which his admirers talk of. Why, a line of Wordsworth's is a lever to lift the immortal spirit. Byron's can move only the spleen. He was at best a satirist. In any other way he was mean enough. I dare say I do him an injustice, but I cannot love hin nor squeeze a tear to his memory. Writings of Charles Lamb.

FAMOUS LAST WORnS..
Napoleon. iiT His Dying Deiirium Re-
 called His Early Triumphs.

called His Early Triumphs.
 We listen with bated breath to the last words of dying people. Why we do it is difficult to explain. Can we expect revelation of truth from brain disorganized by illness and agony? The dying man still belongs to this earth. He is still fettered by, bonds of flesh, still weighted down by the burden of the body. If we were being guided by an memorable logic we should de- clare that these last utteranees are without any value.
 There is a popular theory that in his last moment the moribund sees his whole life spread out before him like panorama. So we hope against the objections of reason that our dying relative or friend may let us share this moment of en- lightenment and give us the mean ing of life in an epigram.
 Pericles encompassed the mean ing and value of life in one sen tence, "On account of me never an Athenian had to put on mourning In myth and legend great men die according to their lives and charac- ters.
 Napoleon had at first a solemn leavetaking, during which he talked like an actor: q have done justice to all fundamental truths. * * Be faithful to the glory we obtain edN Then he became feverish, and he called up the generals, the old ones, not those of the later epoch: "Desaix, Massena, ah! the moment is decisive * hurry up, push on, attack ** France in arms * at the head of the army" No poet could have done better.
 Frederick the Great was working to the last minute His last words, spoken in French, were: ''La mon- tagne est passe % nous irons mieux" (We have reached the top of the mountain, now it will go bet ter).
 William l. one day before his death, when he gave his last sigma ture, said, ''I have no time to be tired" and these simple words are confirmed by the life that preceded them.
 The other pole is marked by Nero's "Qualis artifex pereo!" (What an artist dies in meD.
 Mazarin, with last glance at his gallery of pictures, sighed, "Faut-il done quitter tout cela ?" (Must l really leave all this?). A character istic Italian expression. - Edward Goldbeck in Chicago Tribune.

Uncut Books.

"Uncuts,' said the book dealer, "are books with uncut edges. They originated in Scotland. In Scot land, in the past, man would en- ter your shop today, read a chapter of some book or other and saunter out without buying anything. To- morrow he would read another chap ter gratis, and by the end of the month he would have finished the volume and be well into another.

Baby Seals.

When seals are born they are snow white, which makes them in visible on the ice. Their eyes and noses are, however, black, and when the little ones are suddenly alarm ed they close their eyes, bury their noses and lie quite still. It is only when they begin to seek their own food that they become dark and sleek.
