Some years ago a very'ludicrous ex periment was tried in a far Western camp with a view to extending the range of mules' military service. lt occurred to an inventive officer that this long suffering animal might be used as a sort of automatic guncar riage in fighting the Indians. So a mule was brought out and a 6mall mountain howitzer strapped up en his back, the muzzle pointing tail ward. Then he was led to the middle of the parade ground, and in the pres ence of an interested circle of officers and men, thc gun was pointed and the fuse lighted. But the sputtering of the powder aroused an ill timed curiosity in the mule. He twisted around bis head, hut couldn't quite reach the fiz zing thing, whereupon be began to .'ac'eA aj-id the muzzzle of the cannon slowly swept the horizon, successfully covering every portion of the field and ill who assembled there. Then there was a panic, most un seemly. Some of tbe spectators broke and ran, some circled about in a fran tic effort to keep in line with the head of the mule. some%fell flat on their faces. At last, after a blood curdling interval of suspense, the howitzer went off-you might have fancied that it roared out with laughter-and the result was nothing more than the ov erthrow of the inauisitive beast and the demolition of a chimney in tho barracks.

Tho First Advice an Old-Timer Offers to a Newcomer Is, "Don't Eat Snow*'-It Makes Weak, Effeminate Creatures of Once Uobust Miners-Inordinate Thirst. Every great discovery in the world's history has brought with it an accom panying affliction, and it has remained for the Klondike to develop a peen liar mauia that threatens to outrival opium eatiug. Among the residents of the far north it is known as the "suow habit," and it is said to be in curable. Heury Barnum of Great Bend township, Ohio, has returned from the Klondike "and tells a strange story. "There are many strange things in the -Klondike, " says Mr. Barnum, "but perhaps the strangest and that about which notbing has been written so far is the dissipation caused by eat ing snow. In the north, wbeu the thermometer reaches 30 to 40 degrees below zero, a mouthful of Bnow is like molten metal. It brings an in flammation to the palate and tongue, and it is impossible to quench the thirst. The first advice an old-timer offers a~newcomer in the region is, 'Don't eat suow.' Tbere are men in that country, once hearty, robust miners, now weak, effeminato crea tures, whose fall can bo traced direct ly to the time they began munching bnow. . "The matter has been but little in vestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the -waters of the north are rich with mineral deposits, which are being constantly washed down from .the mountains. A certain per cent, of this mineral is taken into tbs air when vapor arises aud the snow becomes impregnated with it. There have been several falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposits being of a reddish brown color, due entirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen tbat a person eating large quautities of the snow takes into bis system a corre sponding amount of miuerals." While coming down the Copper river last spring Mr. Barnum came upon a party of miners where one was dying from the effects of eating snow. He had been a hard drinker, but had run short of whiskey. His thirst bo came unendurable, and as water was scarce in midwinter herbad taken to eating snow. Soon he claimed it re lieved his appetite for the liquor, but his companions noticed that his appe tite for snow increased until he was consuming enormous quautities. Gradually his Skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, his rugged stature became hen\, aud even his harsh voice changed to the effeminate squeak of an old woman. His strength gave way and his companions tried to break him of the habit. He would lie on his back and moan pitifully for a mouthful of snow, and when oppor tunity ottered would steal unobserved to the doorway aud gulph down hugo handfuls. At last, seeing death ^as inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, boping to prolong his life. It proved unavailing, and one morning just previous to Mr. Bar num's departure tho man wa3 found dead. There are some spots on Copper river where the snow, when melted and strained through a cloth, shows perceptible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully inter mixed, but, of Course, not in paying quantities. Where this comes from" is a mystery, but it may be brought from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the country. It has been said that if the snow could be melted away it would leave deposits of millions of dollars in gold dust on the ground. Mr. Barnum had a close call him self from falling a victim to the snow habit. "It was in the wiuter of 1896 97," he said, "and I was new to the country. An old miner near Dawson had warned me against eating snow, but I, with my partner, bad gone back in the'bili on a prospecting tour, and had got caught iu a blizzard. We were shy of provisions, and on our way up lost the package containing cooking utensils. This we remedied by broiling pur cooked foods, but we had notbiug in which to melt the snow. It is claimed that melted snow is harmless, as the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the re ceptacle. We decided to try it "raw" and we did. Whether it was the food or the snow, I dou't know, but. during the week we waited for a chance to get ont, aud we had an ever-inereas ing thirst, until, when we were finally able to strike the trail, we were con suming snow at a frightful rate. Wheu we reached our companions we at tempted to assuage our thirst with water, but it did no good. We had acquired a taste tor the frozen water and it seemed to have invigorating qualities. At night we could not sieep unless Ave had our snow. We were fast approaching the degenerate stage, wheu I reached a realizing sense of our condition and undertook to break it off. I began by degrees and worked down, but np to tho very moment I left the country the sight of snow always raised in me an inor dinale craving. It cost me many sleepless nights and weary days to re strain myself. Had I giveu way to the habit I would, like many another poor fellow, have lost all ambition and filled an unkuowu grave in that frozen wilderness Oriental Philosophy. At a recent Bombay school board examination, one of tho tasks was an essay on boys, and this was ona of tho compositions just as it was handed in by a girl of twelve: "The boy is notan animal, }-et they can be heard to a considerable dis tance.

Mr. Jack has arianged a bridle of rubber webbing to accomplish this purpose.

A very puzzling young person is at present exercising the curiosity of Paiisians. She is known to fame tgi Mila. Lina. Till recently she was an artist'3 model. Then Colonel. De Eochas and M. Jules Bois discovered hev strange capabilities, ' and Mlle. Lina has since passed much of her tims in hypnotic trances, a state in which she performs wonders that must be seen to be believed. Her sponsors, it will be well to remark, are men of high standing and acknowledged repu* tation and not professional organizers of raree shows. Colonel de Bochas is at the head of the Ecole Polytech nique, a government institution, and one of the foremost educational estab lishments in France. M.Jules Bois is among the most talented of the younger school of French novelists and an accepted authority on hypnot ism and kindred subjects. Presented under these auspices, Mlle. Lina cannot be dismissed as a vulgar impostor. Her pretensions, at* any rate, deserve to be looked into. They are wonderful enough. Mlle. Lina, for instance, is the best subject Colonel do Bocha has so far come across for- demonstrating the phenom enon he terms the "ext?riorisation of sensibility." When in a trance her sensibility leaves her body and can be localized by the oj^erator in any object he desires within a few feet of her. If this object ba pricked or otherwise manipulated, Mlle. Lina experiences exactly the same sensation ns if the act had been performed on her own person, whereas her body while she is in this state is wholly insensible. It may be objected that t'ni.i sort ofthing might be feigned. Colonel de Rochas, howe vet, vouches for se vend enses in which deception would seem to be out jofthe question. On one occasion, for example, the sensibility of Mlle. Lina had been transferred to a photographic plate. Various experiments were made,and then the subject was brought back, as it was thought, to her normal coudition. After the lapse of a con siderable time Mlle. Lina was sud* denly seized with shivering, and then with violent sickness. -It was found that simultaneously with the appear ance of these symptoms M. Euer, to whom the photographic plate belonged, had immersed it, unknown to the rest of the company and hi a dark room in a distant corner of the house, in a chemical bath, and was developing it in the usual way-a process which had afflicted Mlle. Lina with a sort of sea sickness. In another curious set of experi ments music played an important part. It was foil ucl that when a piano was played within hearing of Mlle. Lina while she was under the hypnotic influence she adopted attitudes suit able to the music played. lu every case the attitudes were so strikingly beautiful and apposite as to excite the. admiration of the operatic artists and painters who had been invited to wit ness the experiments. Here, ngaiu, the suspicion might arise of decep tion, though there is no reason to bo lievo that Mlle. Lina has ever had any musical or dramatic training. But direct proof has been forthcoming of the genuineness of the pheuomenu. A Polish musical composer who wit nessed some of the experiments asked to be allowed to apply a test that would satisfy him that Mlle. Lina was not merely going through a perform ance rehearsed beforehand. What he did was to play a Polish country dance that has fallen even iu Poland into almost entire oblivion. To his aston ishment Mlle. Lina went through the dauce exactly as it ought to be per formed, though it was utterly impos sible that she could have learned tho proper gestures and measure. Banded Not to Marr j-. With the greatest secrecy an anti matrimonial club was recently formed in Boston with a membership of just twelve. The secret was too much for oue or two of the young men,and ? ow nearly all about the unholy compact is known. It is pro]>osed to dine an nually as long as the. mon hold to gether, aud should one of them be married he must give a farewell din ner costing not less than $10 a plate, and as much more than that as he cares to afford, to all the other members and must also pay into the general treas ury for the accumulation of a club fund the sum of 8500 as a slight "for feit" for his treason to the cause in taking unto himself a wife. Event ually, if all but one member became married,thc remaining bachelor would pocket the contributions of the otheis, amounting to .$5500 and interest ac cruing from time to time.bcsides which he would meanwhile enjoy many ex cellent dinners.* The members of the Club of Twelve, as it is called,were desirous of keeping their plan secret, fearing that if it be came generally known society might receive them less cordially than of yore. Such ? result has not yet become ap parent. Indeed,matchmaking mammas laugh at the whole affair, hinting that these vows of celibacy must represent some cases of disappointed love.-Chi cago Chronicle. Why England Is Great. The political greatness of England has never laiu in her navies nor the force of her arms. It has lain iu her struggle for individual freedom. Not Marlborough nor Grenville nor Wel lington is its exponent. Let us say, rather, Pym and Hampden,Maine and Blackstone,Herbert Spencer and John Bright. Tha real problems of Eng land have always been at home. The pomp of imperialism, the display of naval power, the commercial coutrol of India and China, all these are as "the bread and circuses" by which the Roman emperors kept the mob from their thrones. They kept the people busy and put off the day of final reck oning. "Gild the dome of the Inval ides" was Napoleon's cynical command when h?. learned that the people of Paris were becoming desperate. The people of England seek for a higher justice, a worthier freedom,and so tho ruling minister crowns the good queen as empress of India.-David Starr Jor dan, in the New World. A Porto IJioan Town. Aguadilla, a maritime town, on tho western shore of Porto Rico, near its northern point, was founded in 1775 and has a population of 15,057. Its deep and spacious harbor lies between Cape San Francisco aud Boriuquen Point. It abounds in excellent fish and its fields produce all kinda of crops, especially cane, copper, to bacco, corn, mani and cocoanuts, while its oranges, limes and citrous are much esteemed. The fields afford tine ranges for cattle and horses, and on its mountains is much of the best timber. This town is adorned by a lovely fountain. The waters form a beautiful cascade and are conducted through the streets.

MAKING PEARLS TO ORDER. Mussel ami Oyster Beine; Domesticated and Taught the Jewelry Business. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires have all beeu produced in the laboratory, and it is now the turn of the pearl,says the New York Times. The chemist, however, is not himself the maker of the new artifical pearls; he is only the ^collaborator. It is true that false pearls are made from mother-of-pearl,but their lustre is not up to the mnrk. The Chinese have1 long introduced grains of sand and little kuots of wire into the shell of the pearl oyster in order that the ani mal, to relieve itself from the irrita tion so caused, may coat the foreign substance with pearl. If this matter be inserted between the shell and the mantle the oyster can eject it by con tractions of the body. To prevent this M. Boutan, a French experimen ter, has trepanned the shell and intro duced a small bead of nacre, which mighf, however, be a true pearl of a small size, through LKo hole; and fixed it by means of cement to the shell. This beau was in course of time covered with nacre by the oyster, and a fine large pearl was the result. Dealers cannot distinguish it f rowan Orient pearl. The question of nraking pearls in this way was recently dis cussed at a meeting of the Acedanties des Sciences, Paris,and ?T. Berthelot, the famous chemist, observed that such a pearl could only be considered a true pearl if it had at least a hundred layer.* of the pearl nacre, otherwise it would only be a foreign substance covered with nacre. Of course, if the foreign matter is a pearl itself this objection disappears, and we have the meaus of producing pearls ut .will. According to M. Lacaze Duthier,sonie two years would be required ft" ~ haliotide to produce a big pearl. The artifical pearl of the trade, fabricated from nacre, could also be coated in the same way. Evidently the pearl mussel and oyster are about to be domestic ated for the production of pearls, hs the spider is for silk. Pearl divers may become a legend of the past. Underground Taris. The Paris of the pavement, jjay, bright and exhilarating, is fairly fa miliar tons all, but underground Paris, dark, solitary and damp, extending for miles, is comparatively unknown. A part of this area is devoted to the cata combs-a valley of dry bones, a gar den of the dead; the rest, a garden still more vast, provides for the wants, or, rather, the luxuries of the living it is devoted to mushroom culture. These subterranean gardens extend for some twenty miks under the gay capital, find are from 20 feet to 160 feet beneath tho surface. It is very difficult to obtain permission-to visit them, and evcu when permission is obtained it requires some courage to avail oneself of it, for the only en trance is a circular opening like the mouth of a well, out of which a long pole stauds; through this pole, fast ened nt the top only, at fairly long in tervals, sticks are thrust. This.prim itive ladder, the base of which swings like a pendulum iu the impenetrable darkness below, is the only means of reaching the caves.* * * "Here," again cried our guide, with a burst of cheerfulness.

"Well, I can't understand a word you say," said the anxious passenger. The conductor sniffed aud went back to the platform where he gave vent to ocasional howls that were supposed to be street names, but were all Choctaw to the stranger. . "Got the e yet?" he presently yelled to the conductor. That official's face darkeued and he said something under his breath. Then, with great distinctness and a strong sarcastic flavor, he roared: "Log-.u !" The stranger's face wreathod itself in smiles.

It almost as If the old saying, "cot ton ls king," might be revised to apply to woodpulp. Woodpulp has been used as a substitute for iron, ivory and.In numerable kinds of animal and vege table fibre. As a material for car wheels the manufacturers have found it superior to any kind of metal, being about three times as durable as steel and much more elastic. It has been found avallnble as a material for pav ing ^bricks, drain tiling and conduits for. lecetric cables.

The Eskimos bury their dead under mounds of stones on jutting promon tories. A year or two ago a yachting party from St. John'a, which had land ed near Cape Chidley, saw an Eskimo burial. Four Eskimos 'hauled over thc dry ground the komatik, or sled, on which was the body of a hunter who had beeu drowned in the killing of a walrus. After them came in irregular order a procession of about thirty men and women. On a high, rocky point of land, overlooking the . sea they placed the body in a sitting position, laid the hunter's paddle, harpoon, throw stick, and snowshoes beside it, and then, with stones as large as could be handled, proceeded to build a wall about thc bod)-. When the wall had been carried above th? head, they roofed lt with flat stones and then built a rounded mound over the whole. But they deft a hole In the roof so that tho man could come out at any time if he wished. Then the party ranged itself in a semicircle before the mound and one man sang a weird chant, with a chorus or refrain In which all the others joined. This done, they went back to their encamp-, meut with no further show of grief and resumed their usual occupations. The Strength of Instinct. The bloodhound trials held on the moors near Scarborough, England, are interesting rather as drawing atten tion fco a neglected and possibly valua ? ble form of animal talent than for any j contribution they made to our knowl edge of what these dogs can do. The runs were scarcely a mile in length, and most of the hounds acquitted themselves creditably. The result has shown that after some century and a half, during which the breed lins not been trained or exercised in the work which was formerly the sole object for which it was kept, the dogs readily ' follow tho trail of a man at once, and at a rapid pace. But heath er is the best scenting ground in Eng land, and it was largely over such moorlands that the Border blood hounds were used. If only required to follow a single trail there is little doubt that the dogs would have gone not' one mile, but ten.-London Spec tator. _ Beauty Is Blood Deep. Clean blood means a clean skin.

In Norway, where there is not such close fishing, salmon are caught weighing over fifty pounds, proving they must Viave made, many annual trips to the sea. It has been proved by long-continued,'careful markings that the grilse and salmon never mistake their own river, or that branch of it in which they are hatch ed; this shows remarkable instinct in this fish, as many rivers are long and have so many feeders. Though the salmon depos'its so many thousands of ova, millions of ova and fry are de stroyed; it Is estimated that not one in a thousand reaches maturity. Their natural and gormandizing enemies the trout, the little bird called the water ouzel, and the merganser, or fish duck, all of which consume dally mil lions of ova and fry. It is, therefore, necessary to destroy these murderers of the salmon by every possible means in order to keep the rivers well stock ed with salmon for sport and for fish ery interests. Unless these voracious pests are religiously destroyed a very large percentage of the annual cost of artificial propogation of salmon is entirely wasted. The World's Largest Statue. The statue of Liberty in New York harbor is no longer the largest statue in the world, as has been . " .-ays hith erto supposed. One larger still ex ists in Kamakoua, tho ancient capital of Japan. It is a "itspresentation of the god -Buddha, and contains in its center a largo temple reuched by a stairway rising to a height of nearly 200 feet. The head, out of propor tion, however, to the body, measures twenty-nine meters in circumference, and the half-opened mouth is wide enough to admit the entry of a good sized man standing upright. . . This would be a quiet, peaceable world were it not for the movements 0f the under jaw. 5ociety Women j and,in fact.nearly al) I women who undergo n a nervous strain, are compelled to Tegrct I fully watch the grow ' ing pallor of the'iT cheeks, the coming i wrinkles and thinness ) that become moTe distressing eveTy day.

The bargain made in time of danger by the master or agent of the imperiled craft with another volunteering aid need not of necessity hold in court, and gen erally docs not. As a rule the bargain ls exhorbitant, and made at a time when the victim would be willing to guarantee the payment of millions for proffered assistance. This point lins been decided hundreds of times, the courts takiug the stand that peril made an exorbiant bargain necessary. As a general thlD^, the salvage award is equal to about one-third the value in the case of sailing craft, and from one-third to one-half in the case4 of steamers. The owners of the salvage craft whose money was wasted by de lay, wear and tear, are, of course, en titled to the bigger piece of the plum. The master of the salvor gets about twice the sum that his mate receives, and the mate is paid something like double the amount of each sailor.
