Rites Severe Strain
on Physical Strength

When Hindu pilgrims visit a sacred
place they 60 around the spot by a
continuous series Of prostrations.
They carry stone In their hands
and when they drop on the ground
they stretch their arms out as far as
possible and leave the stone on the
ground so as to measure their length.
Then they arise, walk the six or
seven feet to the stone, and pick It up.
Again they PROSTATE themselves.
leave the stone, arise, and so on until
they have returned to the starting
point.
Many Of the circuits are more than
three miles in length. and It requires
an entire dav TO make the whole trip.
Each mile usually requires one
thousand prostratlons, and when
devotee has dropped three thousand
times he Is so nearly dead that he
rolls over In the dirt to the side OF
the road and rests there until the next
day.

Greeks. He wanted to know how many
fighting men, there were, so he had
10000 Of them counted and they were
huddled into as dense a mass as pos
sible and wall was built around the
space they occupied. Then the whole
army entered the enclosure in detach.

and the sailors and soldiers Of the
fleet added, he brought the total up to
2,317,OOO.

Monkeys Sing in Chorus

Colobus monkeys indulge In COM
munity singing. Very early In the
morning and at intervals during the
day these denizens Of the jungle start
their song tests and as soon as the
whole troop gets going good. other
troops in different parts of the forest
join in and the green rafters ring
with the remarkable sounds they
make, according to Della ]. Akeley, a
naturalist. There is a leader Of each
troop who directs the nature Of the
emotional expression by raising or
lowering the pitch. Some Of them
sing in a different pitch, much like
the bass and contralto Of human sing
ing organizations.

Miles of Thread Used
in Clothing Humanity

Statistics show that every inch Of
cloth contains about rs threads run
ming downward and the same num-
Der running across it, SO that square
yard is composed of 1900 threads,
each yard in length.
The average suit or costume needs
four square yards Of cloth, so that
every man or woman wears something
like four miles of wool.
Allowing two sets Of clothes year,
we find that each of US uses 400 miles
of wool in fifty years.
When we come to linen or cotton
goods, with 80 or 100 threads each
way to the inch, the total length Of
threads becomes appalling. A single
handkerchief may contain 2,4OO
strands, each Is inches long, so that
1000 yards of cotton thread are re-
Quired to make 1t.
A shirt represents about three miles
of thread.

though q member of the weasel fam

Joseph Conrad, the famous writer
of sea tales, wrote letter to cousin
January q, 1898, three days after the
birth of a son. The letter is included
in a group of Conrad's letters pub
