THE ROOTS OF THE MOUNTAINS.
Great Elevations Sink Into tho Earth as
Iceberg. Sink Into Water.
It is well known that mountains
attract the plumb line, and thus ren
der latitudes determined by its means
or by a spirit or mercurial level inac
curate in their "vicinity. During the
trigonometrical survey of India the
amount of this error was carefully
determined in several localities near
mountains, but a discrepancy ap
peared. When the moss of the Him
alayas was estimated and its attrac
tion calculated, it was found to be
more thun the observed attraction.
The same thing had occurred iu the
original experiment by Maskelyno at
Scliehallion, in Scotland, and a simi
lar deficiency in the error produced
was noticed by Petit in the case of
the Pyrenees.
Many attempts were made to ex
plain the discrepancy, but tl'iat which
was advanced by the late Sir G. B.
Airy seems best to account for all
the phenomena and is that adopted
by Mr. Fisher. It, is that overy moun
tain mass on a continent lias a much
larger mass projecting beneath the
crust into tho liquid substratum, ex
actly ns an iceberg has a larger mass
under tho water than above it. Sir
G. B. Airy argued that whether the
crust were 10 miles or 100 miles
thick it cofild not bear the weight of
such a mass as the Himalayan and
Thibetan plateaus without breaking
•from bottom to top and receiving
support by partially sinking into the
liquid mass.
The best experiments show that
the proportionate densities of most
rocks in a solid and a liquid state are
approximately ns ice is to water, and
thus no mountain masses can be
formed, whether by lateral pressure
or other agency, without a corre
sponding protuberance forming be
low to keep the crust in equilibrium.
It is this displacement of the denser
substratum by the less dense "root,
of the mountains” that leads to the
total attraction of such mountains
being less than it otherwise would
be. In our author’s words, "The
roots of the mountains con bo felt
by means of the plumb line."—A. R.
Wallace in Fortnightly Review.
Decorations For Bravery.
Sir Colin Campbell held the deo-
oration of the Victoria cross to be a
slur upon, rather than a compliment
to, military honor, and he has placed
upon record his own very hostile
opinions against an institution which
be thought tended to demoralize the
services by creating invidious dis
tinctions among those w ho were sup
posed to be equal in honor and in de
votion to duty. Commenting upon
the actual case, he puts the matter
tersely: “A man with another was
sent out on a reconnoissance; this
other was wounded, and his com
panion waited for him and took him
on his horse, saving his life. What
would we have said had he left his
companion?”—Broad Arrow.
Two Reliable Compass Plants.
The compass plant of Madagascar
is a flowering lichen, growing only
on a species of fir tree and always on
the east si le. Curious scientists who
have transplanted this wonderful
lichen in the great botanical gar
dens of Europe say that it changes
its position to the north side of trees
as soon as it becomes acclimated.
Australia's compass plant is a dou
ble larkspur, on which two colors of
flowers grow, red on the north and
blue on the south. Ab a compass it
is perfectly reliable.—St. Louis Re
public.
Monkey’* Lack of Intelligence.
The monkey’s intelligence has
never been able to arrive at a point
which enables that animal to achieve
the untying of a knot. You may tie
a monkey with a cord, fastened with
the simplest form of common knot,
and unless the beast can break the
string or gnaw it in two he will never
get loose. To un tie the knot requires
observation and reasoning power,
and though a monkey may possess
both ho lias neither in a sufficient de
gree to enable him to overcome the
difficulty. —Golden Days.
Hotv »1tfl Itat'cs Originated.
M. de Qimtrefages, tho French eth
nologist, 1 .s made public his con
clusions with regard to tho origin and
distribution of tho human race. Ho
says all mankind came from a cen
tral mass iu northern Asia, and that
there were three fundamental types
—black, white and yellow. These
threo types scattered over tho world
and intermingled, forming, in course
of time, 72 distinct races of human
beings, which is the number of races
classified by our best ethnologists in
the tabulations brought down to the
year 1880. The learned Do Quatre-
fages believes that tho American In
dians came from “a blending of white
and yellow races with a local qua
ternary race." Say, M. de Quatro
fages, where did that local quater
nary race originate? —Philadelphia
Press.

Impudence In Real .Life.
Here is a 6tory of impudence from real
life. It was told by my late friend, tbo
Rev. Greville Chester, who made a little
novel out of it, but 1 do not think the
book “caught on” or hail any success.
The thing happened almost exactly as
follows: There was a lady living in the
country: she was advanced in years,
either unmarried or a widow; she was
wealthy, and she lived alone.
One winter evening she heard the
sound of carriage wheels on tho gravel
The door was opened, and then fol
lowed the bumping of trunks in tho hull.
Then a lady’s name was announced, and
her visitor entered. She came in run
ning; she came in holding out both her
hands; she came in with a laugh of wel
come and of joy. “You dearest Jenny.''
she cried, kissing her with brimming
eyes. "It is 40 years since last wo part
ed at deul old Miss ’s school. How
are you? How are you? Oh, my dear.
1 am so glad to see you! And I've cubic
to stay!”
She sat down, threw off her bonnet
and began to rattle on about tho school.
When they separated tor the night, the
hostess reflected that she had not even
asked her visitor’s name and that she re
membered nothing at all about her. In
the morning she did ask her name, but
yet she remembered nothing at all about
her. That visitor came to stay. In fact,
she never went away again. The two
ladies lived together in the greatest ami
ty till tho end. And to tho very end the
hostess never know who her friend was
and could not associate her name or her
face with her old school.—'Walter Busan t
iu Loudon Queen.
A Tumo mountain Lion.
In Colorado I visited a hunter’s storo
and saw a mountain lion—the only one,
as its owner ussertod, which had ever
been tamed. It was in a little back room
chained to an iron staple in tho floor,
round which it was pacing, uttering low
growls.
It appenred very much like a small
panther and seemed anything but tamo,
snarling at us as if it longed to spring.
It was in awe of its master, however, and
cowed down every time he cracked his
whip. Ho made it do several tricks with
a retrievor dog, which did not soem to
liko the tusk very well.
“Come and kiss Miss Pussy,” said the
man, and the dog went up to it, laid a
paw upon its neck and licked its face.
Tho master ‘then put a piece of meat
on her nose and told tbo dog to fetch it
away.
“Ho doesn’t caro for this part,” was
his comment. “She has had him by the
throat once or twice.' Just look at her
iron paws? On© blow would lay you
dead os mutton. What, you brute, you
would, would you l”
Miss Pussy had tried to guaw his boot
and needed to bo lashed off.
“Do you over take her out'/"
“Oli, yes, she goes walking with mo in
the mountains sometimes. I take her
chain off when wo'ro out of town, but
Tin precious careful to follow her and
never let her stop behind mo!”—“A Ride
Through Wonderland."
Mew Zealand Mutton.
The’sheep fanner, it seeuiB, finds that
he can deliver his sheep, with a fair
profit, for 2 pence a pound at the nearest
port or freezing point. Tho killing and
freezing process is undertaken chiefly by
companies, which have established freez
ing stations at various convenient points
along tho coast, and which ship tho car
casses, consigned to agents in London or
elsewhere. One of the sights of the day
at the Albert docks is the arrival of ono
of tho Now Zealand Shipping company’s
fine steamers, perhaps tho Tongaviro or
tho Riinutnkn, or some other of the fleet
with the sonorous Muovi names, and to
seo the subsequent discharge of some
27,000 carcasses, each neatly wrapped in
its winding sheet of white calico.
The whole year’s exportation now fig
ures to about 2,000,000 frozen carcasses
and is rapidly increasing. Yet witli nil
this depletion the number of sheep in the
colony is rapidly increasing. Tho flocks
have largely increased in number, and
the export of wool has risen from about
04,000,000 pounds in 1882 to 108,000,000
in 1891.—All the Year Round.
Nineteen Days In tho Wood*.
W. H. Beller recently turned up at las
home in Mercer county, W. Va., after
having been lost for 10 days in tho Now
Pine mountains. For tho first four day s
ho traveled constantly in tho endeavor
to find his way out of the wilderness in
which lie was lost. When he found that
he had but two matches left, and fear
ing that he might use thorn up and bo
unable to kindlo a fire, be picked out a
permanent r raping place, started a fire
against a pine treo and made ready to
live as best lie could until aid came. Ilis
tree burned until it fell and then lie
piled brush against tho fallen trunk in
order to keep tho fire g\>ing. IIo re
mained at that place 15 days, moving a
few feet each day ns tho fire traveled
along tho prostrate treo.
He slept as best he could by night, and
by day never lost sight of his fire. Once
an untlered buck came within riflo shot,
but Beller had tho chagrin to seo his rifle
leaning against a tree, with tho buck be
tween him and tho weapon. Ho hallooed
at intervals each day, and tho noise at
last brought n hunter to his aid. Beller
was then a haggard wretch, his clotlmv
burned in many places und his fingers
both horned and frozen. He believes
that ho could not have held out two days
longer.—New York Sun.

A Hying Mira’. Scheme.
George Francis Cobson, a spiritualist
of Muskegon. Mich., lias perfected a
sclicmo, ho thinks, by which he hopes at
death to be able to prove positively to
those still In the materia) state that his
spirit exists. He west to Pittsburg a
short time ago and nhtaiued u large gloss
cylinder, so constructed that it can be
sealed airtight quickly In this cylinder
he has suspended with fine copper wire
two pieces of metal so li^lit that they
may bo brought in contact with each
other by the slightest motion of air with
in the cylinder. Wires pass through the
cylinder, one being connected with u
battery und tho other with a telegraphic
instrument.
Ho has made arrangements for Ills
frionds just before the spirit leaves his
body to seal him in the cylinder so tlmt
his spirit may be kept from departing
and nt the same time is enabled by ii se
ries of systematic disturbances of the air
within tliecylindcr to communicate with
his friends through the tolegraphic in
struttent. He is dying with consump
tion, nnd the public probably will not
have long to wait for tho test of his ex
periment. If it should prove successful,
his friends are pledged after three days
to unseal the cylinder and nllow the
spirit to depart nnd then seal up nnd bury
the romains.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Colonel Merit M. Missimcr of tho Falls

St. Teresa In the United States.
Teresa Urrea, the living patron saint
of the Yaqui Indians, who was banished
from her mountain home in Mexico sev
eral months ago by order of government
authorities, the chargo against her being
that she was working up a spirit of war
fare among the Indians, is making her
home at Nogales, A. T., just across the
Mexican lino. She continues to perform
many miraculous cores by simply laying
on of hands, and thousands of ignorant
Mexicans and Indians have visited her
since she was exiled. The people of No
gales have taken a kindly interest in the
remarkable girl, whose powers of heal
ing the sick and afflicted are mysterious.

thinks tea and coffee wicked. The

drank hot water, which was served
with cup und spoon. One day it oc
curred to her that tho hot water
might bo mistaken for tea. Although
she took it afterward from a glass,

BOUND TO HAVE HER OWN WAY.
tho Know a Bargain When She Saw One
and Didn't Propoio to Bo Swindled.
It was at 4 o’clock in the afternoon,
at a time when the life of the aver
age salesman is more of a burden
than a pleasure.
A woman, stout and well dressed
and bearing the unmistakable signs
of a professional bargain hunter,
elbowed her way through the crowd
with a floorwalker at her heels and
bounded down upon tho inoffonBive
looking clerk.
This woman belonged ovidontly to
that coterie who believe that their
wants nnd their rights aro to he
looked after at any cost nnd to tho
exclusion of tho rights of all othors.
It soon became apparent to tho pa
tient, stoical 'salesman that tho wom
an was to bo w:\itod upon at once.
Ho therefore loft a meek looking
purchaser and camo over to the frus
trated specimen in petticoats.
“There I” she oxclaimed, puffing,

‘Thoro is nothing tho matter with

man after the floorwalker had ex
plained tho complaint.
“Nothing the uinttorl” oxclaimod
the irato woman. “Nothing the
matter! Here, you’ve gone - nnd
charged mo 80 cents for this em
broidery. It should hqvo been only
20. That was tho price on tho pla
card yesterday. Now, I’d liko to
know whnt right you had to cheat

Tho patient sulosman merely re
marked iu a tono of professional po
liteness: “You are mistaken, mad
am. Thnt embroidery bus never
been marked down to 20 cents. Wo
really couldn't afford tosoll it at that
figure.”

think I'd pay 80 conts for this om
broidery? Well, I giioss not. Not
if I know myself.”
Is thore anything I can do for
you]" asked the salesman, ignoring
her complaints.
‘Can’t you make out on order for
my 10 cents or credit it to mo toward
other purchases?”
"Certainly not. I have no author

ture, “if this doesn't beat the Dutch I
This is tho last time I'll ever buy

“Madam," interrupted tbe sales
man, “we do not take back bargain
counter goods under any' circum
stances. The price was plainly
marked.”
“Plainly marked, indeed 1” she re
torted. "Here I've waited and ol-
bowed and shoved my way through
the crowd at the superintendent's
desk, all to get my right. It isn’t tho
10 cents that I caro so much about,
but the principle—that’s what I don’t
like. Here I am actually insulted,
and all on account of a paltry 10
cents 1 I know that embroidery was
marked 20 cents. Do you think I cun-
not see?"
"You are mistaken," replied tho
salesman.
"You are a liar I” retorted the wo
man, getting exceedingly red in the
face.
“Madam," said tho salesman in
tones of freezing politeness, "you are
a lady—and that is another lie 1 have
told.”
Ho turned and left her standing
near tho counter. Meanwhile a
crowd of 50 or more curious shop
pers gathered about her with eager
inquiries as to what had happened,

she snapped as sho flounced out of

A Brave and Daring ludluu.
Twenty years ago I was a member
of the Sevonth regiment of cavalry.
General Custer was in command,
nnd, os every one knows, ho waa a
born Indian fighter. The regiment
had met and defeated a large force
of Sioux and Cheyenne IndianB, and
they loft us iu possession of the field
of battle. Only one Indian remained
in sight, mu', his lioldness was cer
tainly wonderful. 1 fci was mounted
on a very handsome pony, nnd he
rode up nnd down our line, koeping
out of range of our rifles, nnd yet
near enough to tompt us to fire at
him.
At each shot from the soldiers ho
would Bhout defiance and dare us to
come out nnd light him. General Cus
ter rode up, und taking in the situs
tion told us not to ilro until the In
dian catne to a certain spot on tho
prnirio, and then all firo together.
Tho Indian was a very gracoful rider,
and ns lie rode down tho line the sol-
diem waited liulil he reached tho
chosen spot, and then a storm of
leaden hail swept across tho prairie,
nnd tho pony foil to the ground rid
dled with bullots.
We woro glud to Bee the Indian,
however, on Ids foot again In an in
stant. for we hoped to capture him
nlivo. Imagine our surprise when
we saw another Indian coming to tho
rescuo. He was mounted on a fleet
footed pony, and liko n flush ho swept
up to our supposod prisoner, helped
him to mount and bofuro we had

The Futuro of the Brain.
Wo doubt, regarding the equilibri
um of tho head and tho harmony of
its parts, whether the brain will gain
greatly in volume. Its anterior lobes
may perhaps increase till the axis of
gravity pusses the middle of the base
of the skull. Dolichocephaly will he

oly. The quality of the cells is sure
to improve. On that side no limits
can bo discerned, and in that direc
tion man may hope to reach the Bud
