The hunter going the rounds of his traps has noted curious tiny tracks Ilka, tho dots nnd dashes of the telegraphloi alphabet.

From the length of the leaps the trap per Judges the nge of the ermine. The, full grown ermine has hair too coarse to be damaged by a snnre. If, there fore, the tracks Indicate n full ..own animal, the trapper suspends the noose of a looped twine or wire across the runway from a bent twig, which, when, released, springs upward with a Jerk) that lifts the ermine off the ground nnd strangles It.

A Quaint Old C'untom. A London shop nssistnnt says: "It is my duty every night to go out to the rear of the premises and fire off nn old flintlock pistol. This curious custom dates back to the middle of the eight eenth century. Our shop, now in a crowded north London district, was in those old days practically in the coun try, und it was the custom of the then proprietor, who was a timid, eccentric man, to fire a pistol oft every night to let the would be burglar know he was armed and prepared for lilm. Think ing his custom such a good one, seeing that his shop was never attempted, he stated in his will that the custom should bo continued, which has always boon carried out, nlthough, of course, we -do it now merely to keep up a quaint old custom." Ilia Awful Curlonltr A woman with her little sou, a child of four years of age, Inquired of a mun standing in one of our railroad stations, "Can you tell me what time the next train leaves for Scranton?" "At t-t-wenty m-m-luutes p-p-pnst f-four." About five minutes later she again put the same question to the same man, and he repeated the same answer in the same stuttering way. When she approached him for the third time with the same query, he said to her: "W-why do y-y-you a-a-nsk me s-s-so m-m-many t-t-tlmes? I-I a-a-al-ready t-t-told you t-t-twlee."

' THE COLUMBIAN, 01)1) THINGS IN Si AM CURIOUS CUSTOMS AND CEREM0NIE3 THAT ARE STILL OBSERVED. CntMtiK the Topknot of the ( MM For i:U SplrMnnt Welfare '1 lio WeilitltiK nml lla ! lrn Inn C'ro mnlloil With llcfrrnhnirtUx. In Sinm tho cutting of the topknot la to important n ceremony for the future rpliitual welfare of the child that It Is most scrupulously carried out, with nil the pomp and ceremony that the menus of the parents will allow. That the poor people Uiay not be deprived of the benellt of the ceremony the government provides nil that Is necessary for it nt one of the temples nt Bangkok. Tho center of the ceremony Is the cutting ofT of the topknot, which Is nil the hair children nro permitted to wear up to that time. Hut associated with It are h number of purifications nnd other reli gious forms which have to be scrupu lously enniod out. The topknot, which Is ordinarily adorned with a cbaplet of tlowers or beads, often held In place with a Jeweled pin of considerable val ue, Is now much more resplendent l.v adorned, while the child Is further load ed with the richest Jewels the family can provide. After the ceremony the lfcilr is allowed to grow nil over the head nnd is usunlly worn nbout nu Inch long, standing up like a brush. The child Is now reckoned to have reached man's estate, nlthough, to their credit be it said, tbe Siamese nro in mi hurry to mnrry their children. In fact, undue haste to make n match for n daughter Is npt to raise a question ns to whether things nre so flourishing with the fam ily as they might be. When man-Inge Is thought of, it is of ten the result of mutual affection, nud takes the form of nn elopement, with subsequent forgiveness by the old folk. The more formal way calls for a lot of negotiation nnd the payment to tho parents of "ku nora," which Is often, however, returned to the daughter on the birth of her first child. The monks, who nre the astrologers of the country among other accomplishments, nro called upon to fix the lucky day, on the nrrlvnl of which the bridegroom nnd his friends go to the bride's house, cur rying presents of cakes and betel. All Siamese chew betel, and not to offer it to n guest Is a serious breach of hospi tality. The quids when ready for chew ing consist of leaves of the betel pep per, chips of nreca nut there is no such thing as betel nut that careless travelers write nbout a little slaked lime und sometimes tobacco also. Tbe Siamese word for this mixture is ap propriately "muk." This will always be iu evidence at weddings, and the preparation and presentation of the be tel tray to tho bridegroom constitute one of the forms of acceptance by the bride of his authority over her. The monks will be already In attendance, feasted with the best that can be pro vided, and the ceremony of marriage is performed by them with the sprinkling of consecrated water over the couple. But the greatest ceremony of all takes place ufter death. If the person be of high rank, the body is placed in a sitting posture In a largo metal urn or among the commoners in an ordinary collin. After being kept n period that lengthens with the exaltation of rank a day is fixed for the cremation. All the friends of the family nre invited, and enormous sums nre spent on enter taining them and providing free shows for the general public. Tho guests will enter the inclosure, while Chinese thca- ' tors, Siamese marionettes and plays will be provided for all who care to witness them. On entering one would be met by some member of the de ceased's family bearing a black bag, into which all nre invited in turn to dip a hand. It is found to contain a num ber of tiny balls, each of which is hol low and contains a screw of paper. A Siamese figure on it refers to a similar figure on some article in one of the booths in the Inclosure, and the guests are expected to present the number to the attendants and receire as a present whatever it represents. There may be a dinner, but anyway refreshments will bo provided in abun- dance. Just at sunset the pyre will be lighted. A stick of scented wood or a wreath of flowers made of the per fumed sandalwood, as well as a candle of unbleached wax, Is handed to each guest and lamps are lighted nt tho foot of tho steps of the pyre. Just as with us those at the graveside perform the last office for tke dead In dropping a little earth into the grave, so iu Slam edch one lights his candle at a lamp and places It under the urn or coffin, to gether with the scented stick or wreath. Buddhist monks away in one of the booths will bo reciting snerod texts meanwhile, but nothing in the way of prayer, whether for tho dead or the living, enters into the ceremouy. Fireworks will be let off, including a very mournful one known to tho na tives as the "roaring of elephants." It is mado by shaving a thick bamboo very thin at one point and then making a slit. The inside is filled with compo sition and scaled, and this, when fired, exerts great pressuro on the slit, mak ing the edges vibrate continuously, so producing a series of loud groans of a most doleful character. When the do ceased is bf high rank, the king sends an nld-de-camp with a lamp lighted from one that is kept continually burn ing in the royal temple and whose light was originally obtained from a tree fired by lightning. After the cremation tho ashes nre collected and most of them thrown into the river, though of ten a few are placed in the temple In a wooden urn. Mlsslou Field. Greatly Iteduced.

Do they go nil the way to the bottom or do they meet somewhere un der the surface a certnlu pressure that buoys them up and holds them iu equi librium? Somebody, we forget who it Is, has given rein to his grewsome fan cy and pictured all the ships thnt have been lost In , mldoccnn -as wandering about like so many ghosts half wny be tween the surface and the bottom. There is no foundation whatever for such a notion, though mnny persons have It Any object thnt will sink be neath tho surface of the sen will go all the wny to the bottom. The pressure encountered on the way down, which Is simply enormous In the deeper parts, has nothing to do with the object's sinking, for It Is exerted on the object as well as on the water, thus equalizing the conditions. Th rnann trhr tlio nhtivt sinks tn the bottom Is thnt water Is not compressi ble; at least It Is so little so thnt Its den sity at the bottom of the sea is only a tri fle greater than It is at the surface. Sci entists tell us that the water nt the bot tom Is Just about as much denser than tho water at the surface as sea water Is denser than fresh water. This slight difference in density, therefore, does not and cannot stop tho downward course of a sinking ship or any object thot is heavy enough to sink rapidly beneath the surface. Trea sure, as we have said, is not a factor In the case at all. Chicago Record. A Dune "Library." There Is a lending library of human bones In London.
