Japanese Life.
A correspmident writing from Yoko
bamt hi ainch to Ml ot the curios
of Jtpm. II? says : "Out bare there
are little gods, big gods, good rods, and
bad tro;l. The can be had from 50
cns to 510.000 each. They are made
fro:n every material known to man,
from cUy to crystal and gold. Of
course the wood Baldhas, as they are
c.Vld, are the oldest and most unique.
Good oM Bu Ulias cm be had from 515
to 5:15 Mexican. These are prices here.
It is a'wiys the best way to figure that
an article costing, say ?20 Mexican here
will cost the purchaser ?20 gold laDded
in the United Spates.
'I think Japan is the moet beautiful
country in the world. The people are
quiint and picturesque ; the ilowers are
marvelous. At present writing I see
before me two plum trees about twenty
four inches high, in full bloom, each
tree about, ten years old. A few days
ago we had a little snow, and it was a
s'Rht to see roses, geranium", plum and
cherry blossoms, all in full bloom, with
snow on them. Next month we will
have the camellias, which are now In
bud. Tbey are all out in the open air
and in April the large cherry trees.
ranging in size from eight feet to forty,
though many Japs assure me that there
are cherry trees eighty feet high.
have never seen them.mt it would r.ot
surprise me if it were true, as I firmly
believe a Jap gardener can do most
anything with trees and plants. 1 sup
pose youngsters will come that way
same tiro in the future. In August
we have the lotus flowers; tbeso also are
worth traveling a thousand milea to sf e.

"Ther la a little place called Dayo

for all the world, the same as old Eng
lish fairs. Two criers at the door,

they are made this siz. so as tola?t a

quaint places. I have had aeveralio

are beyond description. I really came
out hre ti form another Japanese vll

ompany composed entirely of Japanese
la-lies and gentlemen, ith brass and
a' ring hand combined. I am sure of all
except the cper.i part; although there
are s'xtv graduates from the Conserva
tory of Mu ic ('n our music), they can
not iiap". My Idea was to d 'The
M.kato'witb aJtpacesa company and

Wild Fowl In Nortou Sound.
Until the acquisition of Alaska by
the United States it was a matter of
wonder where certain wild fowl went
when they migrated from temperate
climes on the approach of summer, as
well as a snow birds and other small
species of the feathered tribe. It was
afterward found that their habitat In
summer was the water; of Alaska, the
Yukon litver, and the lakes of that byt
.erborean region. A repor.er recently
Interviewed O. S. Green, of Norton
Sound, western Alaska, and be con
firms the statement of Dall and others,
"l'eople wonder where the wild fowl
come from," s tid he. "They see the
sarvl bill crane, wild goose, heron, and
other wild fowl every spring and fail
pursue their unwearied way, bat, like
the wind, they do not know whence
they come or whither they bo. Up on
C, lovin Hay, on the north shore of
Norton S-tuod, is the breeding place of
these fowl. AH the birds in creation,
seemicgly. go to that country to breed.
Geese, ducks, swans, aud thousands
upon thousands of sand bill cranes are
ewarmitig there all the time. They
lay their vgs in the blue-stem grass in
the lowlands, and if yoa go up the
tiver a little way from the bay
the not of the wild fowl Is almost
deafening. Myriads of swallows and
rcbins are there, as well as mil! iocs of
mignScent grouse, wearing red combs
and feathered moccasins. The grouse
turns white as snow in winter. You
can kill dozens of juicy teal docks or
grouse as fat as butter balls In a few
numen'.s. The wild fowl and bears
live on salmon berries, with which all
the hills are literally covered."
Hon to Tell a CcDnteifelBtll.
Take t. I'nited Stales blil of any de
nomination and bold it to the light,
and you will see two lines running
entirely across It lengthwise. Upon
examination yoa will find these to
consist of st:k threads, a red one, and a
blue one. Every genuine bill has this
matket genuineness. Without these
marks a bill may be put down as
counterfeit, no matter how good the
engraving on it. No pper mill will
xiars make this sort of paper, and thin
is tUd G overnment's only protection on
its cuirencf.

1 Bell With a Illstorj.
On vbe top of the little hotel at El
more, a small village north of Find'ay,
Ohio, is a bell with a curious and Inter
esting history. It is the property of D.
B. Day. the proprietor of the house,
who takes pride In reciting the origin
and subsequent tribulations of this relic
of a by-gone period. In 1S32 Jarvia
Spafford built a tavern in Ferrysborg,
once the site of the old Fort Meigs, of
the War of 1812 fame. In those days a
hotel was not complete without a bell
swung on the top to call the guests to
their meals. Sell-foundries were not
plentiful in those limes, bat after con
siderable Inquiry Mr. Spafford heard of
a man in Detroit who cast bells.
Detroit, then in the Territory of
Michigan, was qnite a remote point, as
distance was then calculated, bat Spaf
ford bad to have a bell, and he finally
made his way hither to have it cast.
Tbe bell man was found and the job
undertaken, but when the foundry en
deavored to make the cast it was dis
covered that there was not metal enough
for tbe purpose. Here was a dilemma,
but Spafford was equal to the emergen
cy. He threw thirty six Spanish dol-
ars Into tbe molten mass and the bell
was cast.
With this treasure, almost worth Its
weight In gold. Spafford returned to
Perrysburg, and hnng the bell np In a
tree In bis yard, so that it might be in
vestigated by tbe curious. The Indians,
who were tben quite plentiful In and
about Perrysburg, were caught by tbe I
novel attraction. They went crazy over
the bell, and climbed tbe tree to keep it i
singing all tbe time. At all boars of
the day acd night tbe bell was ringing.
until, it became an intolerable nuisance.
and Spafford bad abeot concluded to
take it down when tbe Indians relieved
him by stealing It and carrying it away.
Tbis act made Spafford fnrions. and
be determined to recover the bell if it
cost him his life. Scaring the ser
vices of Sam Brady, an old scoot who
had killed a score or more of Indians.
and Frank McCal lister, tbe first white
man who bad settled at Perrysburg.
they started toward Upper Saodnsky.
They traveled three days and nights.
and ou the morning of tbe fourth day, 1
while tbey were eating their breakfast.
tbey beard tbe bell in the distance.
Ilastily finishing their meal they har
ried in tbe direction whence tbe sonnd
came and soon hehald a sight that was I
laogbable. Tbe Indians bad tied tbe
bell around tbe neck of a pony, and tbe
whole tribe bocks, sqaaws and young
sters armed with hickory switches,
were ronning the poor animal aroond
an open space at tbe very top of Its
speed, and yelling like demons, as an
accompaniment to the furious ringing
of the bell.
Spafford and bis companions made a
charge on tbe crowd and succeeded in
driving the pony away from the village.
where they could secure tbe bell with
out trouble, which they did, and got
safely home without being pursued or
molested. Tbe bell was taken back to
Perrysburg, where It remained for
mtav years, performing the mission for
which It was east. When Mr. Spafford
died, his daughter, now Mrs. Day,
claimed tbe treasure, and It is still do
ing doty as a hotel bell on her husband's
boose in Elmore.
Figures Regarding Flight.
Among recent investigations which
go to encourage believers in future fly
ing machines, are those proving that
greatly exaggerated ideas of the force
exerted by birds have been beld, and
that mrge birds have wings pro
portionately much smaller than
those of small flying creatures.
Certain insects flutter enormously large
wings at tbe rate of 200 or 300 vibra
tions per second. Tbe vulture is 100
times as large as tbe swallow, but i
wings are only fifteen times as lr.rge ;
and the Australian crane wbeigbs 3,
000,000 times as much as tbe gnat,
while the fatter has 150 times as much
wing surface per unit of weight. Tbe
eagle in foil flight, instead of osiog 13-
horse-power as was formerly computed.
exerts only a fraction of one-horse pow
er. A pigeon flying 2 200 feet per min
ute (nearly 25 miles an hoar) exerte
l-200ih of a horse-power per pound,
equal to 9j -horse-power for a flying
machine wbelghlng one ton at 25 miles
au boor, or 50-horse-power per too
weight at 50 miles an bonr. That me
chanical science will be equal to adjust
log these figures to tbe requirements of
air-traveling, seems only a reasonable
deduction from the facts as tbey stand.
BuIMIag from the Bool Down.
A visitor to Japan tells of tbe pecu
liar methods of censtrnction employed
in that country. Speaking of house
building, tbe Japanese begin their
work at the top. Tbe roof goes on first,
and then they begin to build tbe walla
and construct the interior. On of the
greatest cariosities to see la Tokio is a
new hotel which is being boilt. It is
to be on tbe foreign s'yle, and is to
have four stories. It will be the great,
est hotel In Japan. It covers about an
acre of ground. As yet not a stone of
the foundation baa been laid, bat tbe
roof is already op, and this stands on
a great four story skeleton of scaffold
ing awaiting the building of the rest ot
the structure. This scaffolding Is made
of Icig poles, from the size and thick.
nets of ft campaign flagstaff down to
the sirs of a bamboo fishing rod, and
the whole is tied together with ropes.
Imagine n cre of acaffoldins; of this
nature uphold? heavy roof, and the
wbola made op of sti" d ordinary
rope. Tnere are, I was to-! h I
office, seyen thousand poles to C I
skeleton, and two thousand men bad !

Id 1878 I was stopping lo the city of
Allahabad, Dear the center or India, on
the Indian Peninsular Railway, giTing
performances In the Railway Theater,
says a traveler. ery day a party of
natiye jugglers were lo tbe babit of vis
King our faotel and exhibiting their
skill on the plaza in front or tbe build
ing. Ooe day I was particularly at
tracted by an old Hindoo, bis son, and
daughter, who eqoatted down on tbe
ground and waited for the crowd of
sight set rs to gather roand. Tbey did
not have long to wait. When enough
spectators bad come to make tbe per
formance profitable, tbe old fellow drew
from tbe hag that all Indian jugglers
use to convey tbeir "properties" In a
small earthenware jar filled with mud
dy water. He first sprinkled a few
drops of water oc tbe ground and tben
placed tbe jar upon three small stones,
which be also took from tbe bar.
He tben produced a small cbica duck
and gave it to me for inspection. I
found nothing noticeable about it. lie
asked me to put It in water. I did so,
aud it immediately sank to tbe bottom.
He next drew from tbe bag a sma!l torn
torn, a little musical Instrument tbit
emits a drammiog eound when the
handle is turned, and began waving it
aroond tbe jar. Instantly tbe duck
arose to tbe surface. He told me to
touch it. I tiled to do so, when tbe
bird again disappeared, to reappear
again and again at tbe juggler's w!ll.
I must eon fees that I was mystified.
There was apparently no cause for the
starnge actions of the little bird. It
was only after tbe third or fourth visit
of the conjuror that I discovered the
secret of the trick.
It was a particularly bright, sunny
day, and I had chosen a place among
tbe spectators slightly nearer than the
others were allowed. I was behind tbe
scenes, as it were. While attentively
watching the trick. I noticed in the
sunshine the sparkle of a long bair that
extended from the tom-tom to tbe bot
tom of the Jar. Tbe momeDt I saw
this I divined the juggler's secret, and
I afterward found thit my theory was
correct. The jar already contained a
a china duck precisely similar to the
one a naa exammea. save that it waa
buoyant. Attached to the breast of
tbis duck was tbe balr. Tbis bair came
t trough a tiny bole lo the bottom of
the jar. Tbe water was sprinkled on
tbe ground to conceal any leakage.
Wben tbe jar was placed upon the
ground tbe hair was fastened so that
tbe dock could not rise to tbe surface.
As tbe juggler picked up bis tom-tom
it was an easy matter for him to fast
en tbe end of tbe bair to it by means of
a bit of wax. After this was arranged
you can see bow easily be was able to
make this counterfeit duck bob up and
down at the word of command.
Tecallar Celestial Occurances.
Tbe people of Ilot Springs (Ark
were treated to-day to a most singular
astronoDsical sight. No one bad ever
witnessed tbe like or read of such a
phenomenon Id tbis latitude before,
Tbe morning was clear, but cold and
frosty. As tbe sun rose tbe heavens
were overspread with a thin, bzy
cloud, not sufficiently dense, however
to aarKn . tbe iod's rays to anv
considerable extent. About 10 o'clock
a well-defined rainbow appeared to the
south of the sun. Tbe full bow wss
not visible, but tbe central portion was
very clear. By 10. 30 a large, clear
circle appeared to tbe north of tbe son.
Tbis circle was of snowy whiteness, and
appeared to be in tbe higher atmosphere
of sky, as tbe thin clouds could be
plainly seen floating across its lines.
It was large and quite distinct, as
much so as a race course upon an open
area appears to the eye. From 10. 30 to
11. a second raiDbow similar to tbe
first, was visible east of tbe sun. at
apparently not quite as great distance
from the sun as tbe first. At the same
time a small but very dense and bright
section of a third rainbow appeared
Immediately beneath tbe sun to tbe
south. Thus the nhcnomenon appeared
in its clearest and strongest aspect till
11. 45. after which tbe circle gradUa'Iy
faded away, followed ty tbe rainbows.
Disasters In the Fast,
Although the great western tornado
of two weeks ago was more destruc
live of life and property than any here
tofore reported In tbis country, there
bave been much greater storms in oth
er lands. In 17S0 what is known as
"great hurricane" started from J3r
badoes and visited sever ar of tbe West
India Islands. I: engulfed an English
fleet anchored before St. Lucie, and
ravaged that island, where six thous
and people were buried beneath the
rains. It sank forty ships of a French
transport fleet eortaiulng 4,000 sol
diers. It devastated St. Domingo.
St. Vincent, Sr. EuBtache and
Porto Itico, destroying most of the
Teasels In its track. More than 12,000
people are said to bave perished ou
these islands, and the destruction of
property was enormous. Such deatrue
tive storms are of very rare occurrence.
In this country storms of great vio
lence are common, but it la seldom
that tbe loss of life exceeds 100.
The Earth From a Distance.
If It were possible to rise above tbe
atmosphere which surrounds the eartb,
we should see nothing but . n intense
and sharply defined ball of fire, while
everything else would be wrapped in
total darkness, There could be no
difference of light without an atmos
phere or some similar medium for it to
act upon, but it tbe air around us
extended to a height of 700, mi'es, the
rays of tbe aun could not penetrate it,
and we should be left in darkness.
A the depth of 700 feet in tbe ocean
ths light ceases altogether, one half of
the light being absorbed iu parsing
through seven feet of the purest water.
