TkilHnu* Blh The human ear is an organ the true Inwnrdncos of which the physician* hint' never been able to get at. They can examine the Interior of the eye with case by throwing Into Its dark chamber a ray of light rejected from a little mirror, and they found It pos sible even to see the gray matter of the brain by looking, through the little canal by which the optic nerve enters. The cavity behind the nose they ln- ei>ect with the uld of a light placed far buck in the mouth. They have no difficulty In seeing Into the stomach by an electric apparatus; the Intestine* likewise are readily enough Investigated, and the bladder also. Hut tbe ear ns to Its Internal arrnugements Is unapproachable. It Is Impossible to dissect It satisfactorily after death, for the reason that the parts collapse at once when the vital ■park leaves the body. Woadcrfal Contrast.

Heavy bettor as he was. I’lerre Isorll- i lard once met his match when he rau ; up against gray bearded James E. Kelly, who Introduced bookmaklug Into this country.

Kelly," said Mr. Lorlllnrd I’J Ilia princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly wilt and refuse to lake the wager. “Certainly, Mr. Lorillard.” Then turning to his sheet writer. Kelly said: “$25,000 against 310.000. Pierre I.orli- lard." Quickly he turned to the to bacco magnate with a polite "Much | obliged to you. Mr. Lorillard: very . much obliged.

The I.smllabher Darks of Sahara. "The proverbial fondue.is of ducks' for water would lead one to presup pose that of all the world t'.ie most des titute of ducks would be the Sahara desert and that If a stray 'spriitgfair happened to drift Into that region be would either vamoose or turu up his , toes with briefest delay. Well, not at j all." said a Frenchman who was for- ■ merly n resident of Tunis. “There nre parts of (lie desert where ducks ».boitnd, flourish and multiply with every evidence of perfect satis faction. The fowl Is slightly different from nn.v of the varieties we kuow lu tills country, but It has the same fiat bill, extensive breast nnd web feet, showing that It was once n water bird. ! though now It scarcely finds enough to ■ drink and has become too provident to waste any of the precious fluid In ablu tions. Like the other good Mussulmans of the country, they tnke their prescrib ed bath 111 tiie saml. and their web feet come In very handy an suowshnes to walk upon t'.ie deep yielding dust. It Is claimed by an eminent French orni thologist that the Saharan ducks are the remains of a race of aquatic birds i which frequented those seas when the I present desert was a part of the Allan- | tie ocean." Hole* In Kvcrythln*. You are skeptical about the accuracy of this statement nnd ask why water does uot leak from a bottle If there are holes lu everything? The answer is simple enough—the drops or globules of water are bigger than the holes. Tnklug glass as au illustration, we find that ulr Is about the only substance that can get through those holes. A scientist proposes the following a i on experiment: Place a hell in a 1 -title exhausted of air and hermetically sealed. The lie-11 will not ring because the medium for conveying sound Is nut there. Set the bottle aside fora few months, then try the bell again, and it will ring, faintly, perhaps-, but nevertheless thet-> will lie it sound. That means that th 1 nlr has got lu. It lias made its way through the holes in the glass. The Incandescent lamp is a bulb of glass exhausted of air so that the slen der filament may glow when the elec tricity runs along It.
