The Earth's eurfaos.

The surface Of the earth can b
compared to the top of barrel Of
asphalt, hard and rigid through md
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the elements. For ten
miles in a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard, ofa rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center of the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, Just
as you can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there is steam
In volcanic eruptions is the leakage
Of the interior pressure Of heat in
the earth. The character of matter
in the center of the earth or its i'm

thing like pumice stone-spongy,
porous, light-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted In
the hign temperatures that are
there it dissolves, and there is con-
siderable water in it that escapes

Whore Do You standf

Someone has divided mankind into
-four classes-thOse who consistently
do less than Is expected Of them;
those who do what is expected Of them
but no more; those who do things
without having TO be told. and finally,
those who have the magnetic power OF
inspiring others to do things.
All the failures In this world are
recruited from the first class. The
second class comprises those who
scrape along In some form OF drudgery
or hackwork. Men Of the third class
are always An great demand In the fac
tory and IN the Office. but the fourth
class represents the highest rung In
the ladder OF success.
In the world OF industry the fourth
class Is attained by the dIligent few
who have caught the spirit OF their
task and are able TO impart 1t to the
men under them. They are the men
who. without being slave drivers. are

RUNNING THE RHEA.
AsistIvs Of Ostrich Chased With Del
and Horse.


For the person who desires .
unique form of sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
ommended. The rhea is member
Of the ostrich family. but somewhat
'maller.' 1t runs with the swiftness
Of a greyhound or fast horse and
has a knack Of doubling on its
track, which often serves it in elud-
ing its pursuers. The natives in
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
boIa. The dogs course after the
heeing bird in full cry, while the
hIntcrs follow after at top speed,
prepared TO throw the bola if op-
: 1rtunity offers.
The bola, consisting cf go or
three heavy balls OF lead or stone
attached to a thong six CT eight
feet long, serves TO hamper the
movements of the bird. for the
balls twine about the Part which
the bola strikes regardless ot
whether ii be the legs, neck OF
wings This permits the dogs and
hunters TO overhaul and dispat; b
the bird.
'At the approach of longcr tho
rhea will often crouch fat upon the
ground with neck outstreirhcd IN
der tie grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowiss against the
scent, but when the contrary is tha
case the dogs soon discover the hid
ing bird. In this case. doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure OF
its n.tlcss ruse, it makes no attemp:
a escape. G.

sometimes extends over distancc
Of five or six miles, is thrilling

The Way Russian iaeess Oispossf
Of Her Jewels.
A few years ago Ludwig Nissen.
Q well known Wholesale dealer oi
the Maiden lane district, was in tie
Office OF a diamond merchant in
London when a stranger came In
and offered an unusually beautiful
stone for sale. The Englshman
did not care to bay But Nissen
thought he sew in. But be
was not willing y until be
learned who owne stone and
where it had come /. The man
said he represented friend, q wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. II he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
With her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters OF the city. II
turned out that she was n Russian
princess Who, with her husband
and her daughter. had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In q nihilist movement OF all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the hmcri-
can one Of the finest collections OF
diamonds he had ever seen. They
we're worth 100000 or 100000.
Eve sell them a few at a time,'
she explained, 'iust enough Of
them each year to give US living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don't sell them all and live on the
interest Of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit
The money would not last q year.
So we part from them piecenieal.
I estimate that there are enough spf
them to keep us twenty years, and
I don't expect to live longer than
that"
One OF those diamonds forms the
cenicrpicce OF one OF the most val
liable necklaces in New York. A
few Others are sent to this country
every year. In the diamond horse
