bear no tag. They are not gluttons.
Yet irregular or hurried meals cut
their effective force by 20 per cent,
just as a short ''siesta" after meals
(Which 20 per cent of them never
learn to take) adds 80 per cent, ac-
cording to Sigaud, to both quality

Meanwhile, here are certain brief
.. indications. The respiratory has the
nose and median part of the face par
ticularly developed. The thorax oc-
cupies a very large part OF the trunk
and the false ribs extend to touch the
lower edge of the pelvis.
The digestive shows a preponder-
ance of the lower parts of head and
trunk. e., of the jaw. stomach and
abdomen.
The cerebral has a smallish body in
proportion to the head, while the
skull shows a larger development
than usual in the average.
The muscular is harmoniously pro-
portioned.

too, continued wonderful, SO long as
he continued to find in the campaigns

Frost-Gripped Gold.

CERTAIN Alaskan gold placers lie
" in ground that is permanently
frozen, only the surface being thawed
to a depth of two or three feet in the
heart of summer. In this respect they
resemble the gold-bearing gravels OF
Siberia. and the methods of working
are similar Summer is the best time
to prospect for new leads. but eXca-
vation of the gravel from shafts and
tunnels can be as well carried on in
winter The ground at the end OF
shaft is softened by fire of wood
and then attacked with the pick. But.
instead of breaking under the blows
it mats together, and this tendency
renders gunpowder and dynamite
comparatively ineffective in dealing
with the frozen mass. With any less
powerful incentive than the CLEAN of
gold to spur on his human antagonist
the frost king would doubtless win
an easy victory in so desperate con-
fiict. ''.

An Electric Air Trap.

THE instrument used by French
scientist for collecting specimens
of air at high attitudes with the aid
or sounding balloons consists OF
very perfect vacuum tube with a fine-
ly drawn out end. Either the rise
of the mercury in a barometer, cor
responding with a previously deter
mined altitude, or the clockwork OF
the meteorograph. forms an electric
contact. causing a little hammer to
fall and break the end Of the tube.
Air then rushes in. whereupon another
electric contact. brought about by the
same means. causes the current Of
small accumulator to heat the plati-
mum wire wound around the capillary
tube to a red heat. This fuses the
glass and again closes the end OF the
vacuum tube. thus entrapping the air.

Money used to come into the court

its substitute when the executors of

The executors duty is easily dis
charged. They have only to place a
few advertisements in the news

the money into court. The court
takes the point of view that it is the
duty of the missing heirs by some
sort Of clairvoyancy to know that
the money awaits them, and it is not
the courts fault If the people con-
