Every one has heard of the Chinese myth explaining an eclipse and the enormous dragon that stalks through sky seeking to devour the sun. the Tibetan legend Is a little dif- ferent and very interesting as describ- Sven Hedln in his “Trans-Hima- After describing the eclipse the terror and depression with hich it was received he says: Then | visited Hlaje Tsering with corner pillars of my caravan.

Robert held up his sau. cer to represent the sun, and 1 touk two rupees to represent the earth and moon crossing each other's orbit Hlaje Tsering listened attentively to Muhamed Isa's translation of my demonstration, nodded approvingly and finally espressed his opinion that this might do very well for us, but that it did not sult Tibet. Why it Comes Out Cold Through Part. ly Closed Lips. When one breathes out used air from the lungs through the wide open mouth the breath has the same tem- perature as the body, 98.6 degrees F., and frequently on a cold day we warm our fingers by breathing on them. If, however, we blow the breath vigor- ously from the mouth the temperature of the breath appears to be much low- er than when breathed gently and with open mouth and is decidedly cooling in its effect, writes J. Gordon Ogden in Popular Mechanics. The latter fact is due to the well known principle established by Lord Kelvin, that a compressed gas upon expanding will absorb beat. The breath, compressed by being forced to pass through the small orifice made by the puckered lips, immediately ex- pands upon being admitted to the out. er alr and to do so must take up heat. This is also the identical principle tnvoived in the manufacture of arti ficial ice. Ammonia gas Is first com- pressed into a liquid and then liber- ated into a network of tubes surround- ing large sheet iron boxes filled with distilled water. The liquid ammonia, set free at one end of the pipe system, begins at once to evaporate, and by the time it has scampered through the: long iron tubes it has become gas. As we have learned, to change a liquid to a gas requires heat. This heat Is taken from che iron piping, an excel lent conductor, which in turn robs the water of its heat, thus freezing it. The Mexican Mosquero. The finest fly traps are pot in It with a little Mexican spider named mosquero. Natives gather from oak trees a branch covered with this spi der’s nests and hang it up in the house, The spiders begin on the flies by whole- sale. Mosquero nests are very tidy, pretty and old maidish. A lot of tiny beetles make their home therein with the spiders. The beetles live on fly legs, the crumbs and scraps from the mosquero’s table, and pay for their bed and board by keeping the web house perfectly clean and refined. eating everything and dropping no litter in the Mexican professional gentleman's house. Mrs. Mosquero is a very quiet, orderly lady who never wanders from her own fireside or strays from ber own back yard, but when a fiy calls round she gets very busy with her spider knives and saws.—New York Press. Lovers of Sports. The Anglo-Saxons love spert. No matter in what part of the world they are found the spirit is strong among them. Wherever the restless Anglo- Saxon dominates the love of sport Is dominant. The Americans are—at least the mest of them—descendants of this virile race, and nowhere Is the love of sport so much exhibited as In this country. Our people are patrons of horse racing, of baseball, of golf, of football, of all out of door sports as no other people. The English are great but not to the extent that Americans are, for the reason that the are greater here.—~Nash- ville American. Bad Advice. Friend—What's worrying you? Man- ager—The prima donna of my compa- ny refuses to sing oftener than twice a week. 1 am making only bundreds where I ought to be making thousands. Friend--1'd settle that, If 1 were you 1'd marry her. (A year passes.) Kriend ~My gracious, you look seedy! What's happened? Manager—1 took your ad- vice and married the prima donna, and now she won't sing at all. —— — : Reciprocity. There is one word which may serve #8 a rule of practice for one's life word is “reciprocity.” What you wish done to yourself do not do others. Friendship—One soul in two bodles.~ J fis! ie BEER 2 : I i F T i Et anybody can jump down,” sald the vis- ftor. “Let us go down und see who can jump to tbe top.” The madman thought it a good idea, and. retracing their steps, the two began thelr jump from the earth instead of from the roof. Ths Mammoth Cave Rat. The cavern rat found in the Mam- moth cave is of a soft bluish color, with white neck and feet. It has eyes, black as night, but quite unprovided with an iris. These eyes are perfectly Insensible to light. and when the experiment has been made of catching a cavern rat and turning it loose in bright sunlight it blunders about, striking itself against everything, is unable 1. provide frself with food and tinaliy ads down aid dies.

Two thousand years ago it was sup- posed that water lilies closed their flowers at night and retreated far un- der water, to emerge again at sunrise. This was Pliny’s view, and it was not impeached until the English botanist John Ray In 1088 first doubted its veracity. The great lily of Zanzibar, one of the grandest of the lily family. opens its flowers, ten inches wide, be- tween 11 in the morning and 5 In the afternoon. They are of the richest royal blue, with from 150 to 200 golden stamens in the center, and they remain open four or five days. It is not gen: erally known that there are lilies that have nocturnal! habits—night bloomers as well as day bloomers. They ure very punctual timekeepers., too. open- ing and closing with commendable rex: ularity. Bunyan's Wicket Gate. In the village of Elstow there Is abundant material that is visibly asso- ciated with John Bunyan. The isolat- ed church tower contains the very bells in the ringing of which Bunyan rejoiced and afterward trembled. Above all there must be mentioned the wicket gate which figures early in the story of “Pligrim's Progress.” The wicket gate of “Pilgrim's Progress” Is commonly represented as a garden gate or a turnpike gate, but really the term denotes a small doorway cut out of a large door. Concealed behind a tree at the west end of Elstow church is just such a small doorway In the brond wooden surface of the great door. Through this lowly opening Bunyan must often have passed when a boy~Harper's Weekly. The Major's Value. “Major Bunks,” said a veteran, “was a pompous chap. The boys had a good deal of fun once over his exchange. “It seems that on a very dark night a stalwart Confederate took the major prisoner. This fact, together with the narrative of the prisoner's return to camp. was signaled to headquarters “Major Bunks. captured during night march, exchanged later for two plugs tobacco.’ " Doctors Are More Thorough Now.

It is no uncommon sight to see 2,000 to 3,000 camels on the desert waste outside Bagdad's walls. They represent the combined herds of caravans which have met at Bagdad, bringing in wool, etc., and taking out other cargo to differ- ent parts of Mesopotamia.
