Upheavals That May Be Caused by Submarine Earthquakes. Mariners say that in the midst of the Atlantic. about where the twenty-fifth meridian west from Greenwich crosses the equator. there lies a region of mystery. It is on the line that ships take from Madeira to Brazil. Only within tne past half century has it been sounded and its strange phe nomena reported. One investigator declared that he saw the sea about half a mile from his ressel suddenly disturbed. For about two minutes It boiled up violently as from a subterranean spring. Through Dut the day there were observed great patches of discolored water which had exactly the appearance of extensive shoals. These and similar phenomena are frequently observed in this part of the ocean. Often a sUp reports that she has experienced a violent shock similar to that which is felt when a rock is struck. Sometimes a great rumbling is heard, like that of a heavy hain running through the hawse pipes, and the vessel quivers like a leaf in the wind. At another time, in smooth water, a vessel has been known to heel over suddenly, as If she tad run on a sand bank. Before this part of the ocean was as thoroughly sounded and surveyed as It l now these phenomena were attrib uted to the presence of unmarked sand banks and rocky shoals, and the old :harts were marked accordingly. But It must have astonished the mariner somewhat to find that he got no sound igs with his deep sea lead Immediate ly after experiencing one of these shocks. It is now generally believed that sub marine earthquakes are the true cause o these convulsions.--Youth's Com panion. ________ Mothers Can Safely Bay )r. King',.

Population In United States. The United States at present is In no danger of overpopulation. The .Japa nese empire has about 50.000.000 peo ple, and the Japanese empire is of the same area as the single state of Cali fornia. The German empire has G4, 000.000, and the German empire is G0, D000 square miles less than the state of Texas. The Cnited States of America could furnish room and support for at least a billion human beings.

Selling crickets is a lucrative busi ness in Japan. where the Insects are valued for their songs and kept In cages like canary birds. In Tokyo there are two wholesale merchants who send their agents into the streets of the large cities. The Insects are carried in little bamboo cages. A good seller clears approximately from 80 cents to a dollar a day. An insect valued for its music brings from 2 to 7 cents. The Kusa hibari is the most valuable of all the songsters, but the common cricket and the grasshopper are considered ex cellent singers. The singers are collected from the fields in September, before laying time. They are taken from the grass and shut up In glass jars. Soon after they are imprisoned the females lay their eggs and die almost immediately after ward. The jars containing them are kept in a temperature of 80 degrees C. The young come forth in March. The loss of eggs is about 10 per cent. The male is the singer. He only is an object of commerce, and from a hun dred eggs the cultivator, despite all his care. has only fifty salable Insects. The lot of the locust Is a martyrdom from birth to death. The locust is the toy of the Japanese child. He is caught on bamboo twigs rubbed with a gluey sub stance and tormented according to the ignorance or the cruelty of his keeper. The life of the singing insect never ex ceeds a term of five weeks.-Harper's Weekly. FISH AND THEIR FOOD. Queer Ways by Which Some of the Toothless Species Get a Meal. The curious ways In which fishes eat form quite a study. Some fishes have teeth and some have none at all. In some the teeth are found upon the tongue, in some in the throat and in some In the stomach. Some draw in their food by mucton; the sturgeon Is one of this class. The jellyfish ab sorbs Its food by wrapping its body around the prey it covets. The stat ish fastens Itself to Its victim, turns Its stomach wrong side out and en gulfs Its dinner without the formal Ity of swallowing It through a mouth irst. So there are all sorts of methods for those regularly toothless, and the ishes which have teeth show almost as great a diversity In the number. style and arrangement of them. The ray or skate "has a mouth set trans versely across its head, the jaws work ing with a rolling motion lik.. two hands set back to back. In the jaws are three rows of fiat teeth, set lIke a mosaic pavement, and between these rolling jaws the fish crushes oysters and other mollusks like so many nuts." The carp's teeth are set back In the pharyni, so that It actually masti cates Its food in Its throat, while the sea urchin has fie teeth surrounding Its stomach and working with a pe cular centralized motion, which makes them do as good servIce as if they numbered hundreds.--Harper's Young People ______ An Anodyne.

This is called tb "snow banner of Shasta." It only o< curs when the gale attacks the summa and blows the snow in great gust "streaming against the sky," as th railroad book has it. The banner I seen most frequently in November. St. Louis Globe-Democrat QUAINT WILLS. A Parrot and a Russet Cob That Wenr Well Provided For. The making of queer wills is a sul ject prolific of good stories, and som remarkable examples are given by Vii gil M. Harris in "Ancient, Curious an Famous Wills."
