I he next process is known as “stuff

tanner gets back all and more of the
money he expends for grease. Leather
naturally coarse and porous; the
' stufiiag pro-ess plays an important
part into iu filling the {>ores, but before going
the wheels the skin must be skill
fuU y dampened so that the grease may
not all settle in the thinnest side, which
would render that portion soft and
“mushy.” Pish oil and tallow were
formerly used in the stuffing wheels, but

largely in use at the Chicago tanneries,

The Sound of Light.
One of the most wonderful dis
cowries in science that have been made
^within the last year or two is the fact
that a beam of light produces sound,
says the American Art Journal. A beam
of sumight is thrown through a lens ou
a glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored >iik. or worsted or other sub
stances. A disk having slits or openings
cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this
beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus
making alternate flashes of light and
shadow. On putting thc .ear to the glass
vessel strange sounds arc heard so long
the flashing beam is falling on the
vessel.
Recently a more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight ~ is
made to pass through a prism, so as to
produce what is called the solar spec
i-um tbe oi rainbow.. colored light I he of* disk the is rainbow turned, is
a'"'
made to bieak thiough it. Now, place
the ear to the vessel containing the silk,
wool or other material. As the colored
lights cf the spectrum fall upon it sounds
will be given by different parts of the
spectrum, and there will be silence in
other parts.
For instance, if the vessel coutaius red
worsted aud the green light flashes upon
ib loud sounds will be given. Only
!eeo!-' sounds will be heard waen the
red aud blue parts of tne rainbow
upon the vessel, and other colors make
no sound at all. Green silk gives sound
best in red light. Every kind of ma
term! gives more or less sound m differ
ent colors, and utters no sound m others,
Gie discovery is a strange one and it is
thought more wonderiul things w id
roine irom it.

h‘>cuing Real tstate From the Wftes.
The superficial area of the British Em
pire is slowly but appreciably extending
on a section of the coast in the English
Caannel. *lnoneof the rooms of Dun
geaess lighthouse there is an inscription
setting forth that it was erected in the
year 1792, on a spot distant from the sea
by 100 yards in substitution for an older
lightnouse tnat at this date stood d 40
yards further inland. When this older
lighthouse was built it was on the marge
of the sea. The existing structure, whose
centenary will be celebrated next year
but one, xvas, as the inscription sets forth,
built 100 yards from the water's edge. It
is now fully 500 yards distant, and the
sea is ever receding,

The inhabitants of Thibet at lar<m do
not need to indulge in anv religion on
their own account.' The nriests attend to
that business satisfactorily! altogether and perform it
very Nor is there any
reason wbv they should not, inasmuch as
they number one m ten of the entir e
population of the country. There are,
, n f ac t, no ] ess than 200,000 of them
among a people which does not number
more than 2,000,000 souls in all. It is
their duty to do all the praying " and
particularly important' to perforin the most
of all religious offices which
consists in keeping off the evil one. If
r were not f or the 200,000 lamas inThi
bet the country would simply be swarm
ing with diabolical agents and it would
not be long before everything would be
turned topsy-turvy. As it is the priests
keep thc evil spirits well in hand, and
alI they require in return for this service
i s that all the power as well as all thc
property of the nation, pretty nearly,
“
shall be given into their hands.
The 200,000 Buddhist priests or lamas
i n Thibet may be roughly divided into
two classes—those who dwell in lamas
cries, or monasteries, as they might be
ca n e( j ? an d those who lead a hermit life
in caves and holes in the rocks of the
mountains. Thc latter are ascetics who
are professionally absorbed in the con
templationof things divine, withdrawing
themselves from the society of other men
ant j covering themselves only xvith rags,
R a t the majority of the lamas reside in
what might be termed ecclesiastical settle
men t s , usually surrounded by a high
wu ii gathered about one or more
temples. These temples always have
red walls, and their roofs are frequently
covered with thick plates of pure gold,
Inside thc lamasery temple presents the
aspect of a grcat hall dimly lighted, its
roof supported by many pillars which are
covered with gold and silver or with rich
carpets wrapped about them. There is
a j so a i on g a ]tar, behind which are
placed statues of the gods. When en
g ag0 d in invocation the priest holds in
one hand a silver bell and in the other
a queer-shaped piece of metal represent
W(f - a thunderbolt, and the words he pro
mnmceS) re-enforced by these weapons
and a volume of sacred writings from
which he reads, are calculated to ter
rorize any number of demons who may
be lurking around with evil intentions,
The talc lama is the head of thc Bu
dhist religion. Heresidesat Lassa, on the
top of the mountain Ptala. It is always
the proper thing* you know, for a divin
ity to dwell upon a height, from which
it may look down upon thc people under
j t9 protection—and this supreme pontiff
is a divinity of the first water, inasmuch
as his body is merely a fleshy tenement in
whifth dwe lls the god Avalokiteshwara,
w ho is the chief protector of mankind,
and eS p ec i a n y 0 f Thibet In other
wor ds, the tale lama is the incarnation of
this diety. When'he dies some one must
succecd h itn in his office , :m d the first
thing necessary is to look about with a view
fl nd j n g the person into whose body
the spirit of the God has passed. Expe
r j rnce has shown that in such cases the
divine spirit alwavs enters the corous of
a an d the women of Thibet who

pj rs f ^ c hil dre u are tested in various
g a s by finding out if they manifest
a recognition of certain articles of per-
80na i property formerly belonging to the
i a t e lamented tale lama. If a "boy recog
n j zed the deceased tale lama’s night-gown
it | s the best of evidence that he is really
t | ie ta i e i ama himself come to
life again —at all events that he
has inherited the conscious entity
divine which animated the former
tale lama. Half a dozen boys may ex
Inbit such symptoms, and it only remains
to write their names on as many slips of
paper and drop them into a gold vase,
whence they are drawn after the fashion
of lots, the lucky boy being nominated
for tale lama. Before he is finally given
the place, however, his name must be
sent to the Chinese Emperor for approval,
If the Emperor doesn’t indorse the selec
tion the process must be performed all
over again. But if the Emperor ap
proves, lie sends back a seal of office for
the boy, who thereupon takes an oath of
fealty and becomes pope of the Buddhist
faith
The Thibetans are rather jolly people
than otherwise. They like to sing and
dance, '-tuiix.v, and, when ** HX.U, they get drunk V4* UUA yjLX on
the stronger sort of barley wine, they are
;i pt to draw their formidable swords and
hack at each other. Horse-racing is a
t v favorite favorite amusement amusement with with them, them, and and at at
certain seasons they have fairs, They
are great travelers, on horseback chiefly;
but.they make foot pilgrimages numer
ously, begging their way as they go.
They live in tents on the undulating
steppes and elsewhere in two-storv stone
houses, the lower story being used for a
stable and cattle-shed, the family occupy
ing the upper part. It is worth mention
ing m g tnat that by Dy no no means means ail all of ot Thibet rmoetisun- is un
der der control control from from Lassa. Lassa. The whole
coun try is divided up into tribes, poiiti
cad * y speaking, and many of the chiefs of
thes e tribes recognize no allegiance, not
even to China.
The Thibetans get their tea from west
ern china in the shape of bricks. It isa
t . oarse sort of tea anil contains as many
twigs as leaves. The people of Thibet
pound a portion of it iu a mortar and
aoil U in a copper pot over a fire made
from dry manure. Then they strain the
solution thus obtained through a little
basket of coarse straw* into a little churn,
perhaps two and a half feet high, but
very narrow. To the solution in thc
churn they add a lump of butter and a
little salt, after which they churn it up
an d pour it finally into a teapot,
Each person participating receives
a portion of it in his little wooden
bowl, maybe lined with silver_
every him-L-and Thibetan carries such a one with
in this manner it is drunk.
So much for the liquid entertainment,
For the solid part a portion of parched
barley-meal is taken irom a leather ban
and worked with the finger in the little
bowl until it becomes dough. In this
shape it is consumed when the gentleman
of lhibet is hungry. Tnere is also a
sweet root, very palatable, which thc
Thiuetans boil and eat with butter.
Thibet is a very co:a country, but no
fires are used for heating purposes m
winter. The inhabitant- simply put on
more clothes to keep warm. The matn
garment used is a cloak, or gown, with
long sleeves and a high collar, beneath
m3 Y be worn a shirt. The
color of while the men's clothing is blue or
violet, that of the womens is
striped. Boots are made with soles of
raw aide and uppers of blue cloth and
white cotton, manufactured in China, A
rain-cloak of circular pattern is also cm
ployed. The cloth of which these things
are made is far from cheap, a roll of sev
enteen yards of stuff eighteen inches wide
frequently costing from *20 to$30; even
the cheapest sort is *3 a roll. Silver
mone v is used for currency, divided into
-
fractions by the very s.mple device of
cutt i n " tbe coins into halves and quar

Jewelry Buyers Are Well Watched.
‘‘These pearls dou t suit; let me see
some others.”
“Very well, madam,” and the attend
ant id the Broadway jewelry store
makes a movement toward removing the
tray, at the contents of which the cus
tomer has been glancing.
“Oh, don’t take that away yet. There
are one or two little things I may decide
to purchase.”
“Certainly not. Examine them at your
leisure. James, did Mr. Jones call for
his watch this morning!”
James bobs up irom some other part
of the store and replies: him
“Not yet, sir; but I am expecting
in soon.”
The jewelry salesman goes to the safe
to secure a new tray of pearls for the in
spection of his well dressed female
patron, and James apparently busies
himself with various duties at another
counter. But his keen eyes never leave
the woman who toys with the costly
trinkets before her, and every move
ment of her diamond ringed hands is
noted with close and trained scrutiny.
The salesman comes back and remarks:
“I think, James, you had better send
those unset stones over”ro Mr. Williams
at the Hoffman. It is not policy to wait
any longer, for lie may go out this after
noon. Now, madam, here are some
very choice specimens that I think will
suit you.”
She doesn’t know it, but the wofian
has been under surveillance, and the or
der was given right before her face by
the polite and smiling attendant who so
obsequiousiv received her commands,
When the salesman asked, “Did Mr.
Jones call for his watch?” the word
“watch” was the only one in the sentence
of value or meaning to James. Itwasan
order from one man to the other to keep
an eye on the customer. When the sales
man returned and said, “It is not policy
to wait any longer,” he intimated to his
companion that he could proceed with
his other duties.
Probably there is no large jewelry
establishment in the country where catch
words of this nature are not employed,
and where thc visitor is not the object
of close observation from the moment
he enters until he departs .—New York

Tiie Other Cutlet.
The Brazilian nabob, Baron Fereau,
who died not long since, was as miserly
in trifles as he xvas ex '•avagant iu othci
directions. It was orl 1 of liis peculiari¬
ties never to fee servails, and the waiters
of the various hotels|it which he so¬
journed were for that ,ason not partial
to him. One mornini while staying at
the magnificent Hotel, in Rio
Janeiro, he came dowatto breakfast and
ordered a cutlet. After he had eaten it
be ordered a second. “Baron,” said the
head waiter, maliciously, “it’s a custom
with us never to serve the same course
twice at a meal.” “Is that so?” said
Fereau, and rising from his seat left thc
room. In ten minutes he came back into
the dining room. “Waiter,” said he,
“I have just bought this hotel, and am
master here now. As you will not be
a ‘"!e to get accustomed to my plan of
j | serving wishes, the guests according to their
you are dismissed at once.”
Thereupon he took up his napkin again
aQ d called to another waiter: “Now
bring me another cutlet.”
Puncturing a Neat Little Fiction.
Hard-hearted men of science do not
scruple, if they have half a chance, to
spoil the beautiful stories upon which we
were nurtured in our tender years. It
will be remembered that upon his fourth
voyage to the Western world Columbus
was wrecked in 150-1 on the Island of
Jamaica, where the natives, it is said,
soon wearied of supplying him with pro
j visions, and the great Christopher was in
j danger of starvation. The story, as it
j used knowing to be that told, eclipse was that of the the explorer,
