If dojirs had ln-en property then, to steal a do" won hi have been felony, punishable by death.

A New llratlnif Project. One of the schemes for future en gineers to work at will be the sinking of a shaft twelve thousand or fifteen thousand feet into the earth for the purjHise of utilizing the central heat of the glolie. It is said that such a depth is by no means impossible, with the im proved machinery ami advanced methods of the coming engineer. Water at a temperature of two hu ml red de grees centigrade, which can. it is said, tie obtained from these deep Imriiigs. would not only heat houses ami public buildings, but would furnish Hwer that could lo utilized for many pur poses. Hot water already at hand is nec essarily much chcaiior than that which must be taken when cold ami brought up to the required temjK'rat lire. Once the shaft is sunk, all e.ist in the item of the hot-water supply ceases. The piH-s. if good, will last iiitletinitely. ami as nature's stokers never allow the lire to go out. there would come in the train of this arrangement many advantages. When by sinking a shaft in the earth we can secure a pcriH'tual heat ing ap paratus which we can regulate by the turning of a key. one of the trials of life will fade into nothingness. Ouratlo-1 of l.tfe Amone lllrtln. The distinguished Herman biologist. W icsmaiiu. has pointed out that there is less exact knowledge on this subject than might 1k e.ioctcd. considering how many in iiuuiIkt are the ornitho logical societies. Small singing bird: live from eight to eighteen years. Kavens hare lived for almost one hun dred years in captivity ami parrots longer than that. Fowls live from ten to twenty years land are then sold as spring chickens to young housekeep ers!. The wild goose lives upward of one hundred years ami swans are said to have attained the age of three hun dred. The long life of birds has Jh-cii interpreted as oomionsat ion for their feeble fertility ami for the great mor tality of their young. From the small inlands of St. Kilda, off Scotland, twenty thousand younggannets ami an immense uuihIkt of eggs are annually collected, ami although this Idrd lays only one egg per annum and is four years in attaining- its maturity, its iiumlK-rs do not diminish. Obviously, as Wiesmann observes, such birds must reach a great age or they would long ago have boon exterminated. A Mammoth State. The whole population of the United States could Ik? concentrated in Texas, without bringing up the density of her population tothatof Massachusetts.

Rumble was a man after his own name. Y'ou could always toll when John ti. was alx.ut because he was always "kicking" altout some thing. He had dysjn-psia and was troubled with insomnia. He had tried all the well-known cures, ami yet only averaged about three hours" sleep a nighL He was a queer looking-character, was John ti., he was so awfully bald, with a pink, shining dome-, sur rounded by a rim of stubby hair. lie looked sallow and discontented ami lean and altogether disgusted with life. llis wife was very fond of him and petted him as much as he would allow. Oue day some one suggested that he get a ru biter pillow. It was argued that the pillow would keep his head cor-l and allow him to go to sleep. He was willing to try anything, so he Ix.ught the pillow. That night he inllated it. ami as he placed his head on it he said to his wife: "Ah! this is the thing". I ll Ik- able to sleep with this, sure." And he ac tually dropped jM to sleep without delay. His wife was delighted. An hour or two later she awoke with a thrill tf horror; she felt some thing on her feet. She was sure it w as the hand of the midnight assassin. As soon as she could get her voice she Kve vent to u shriek that brought John Ci. on to the fltnir with a Ixmnd. "Murder." she yelled. "Som.eliody"s rot me by the feet-" John ti. struck a light and investigated. It was the rubber pillow. John ti. put the pillow in place and went to sleep once more. Mrs. Humble was just dozing off shs was still very nervous w hen she heard a low. continuous whistle. She sat up ami listened. She was sure it was a signal from a burglar under the 1-ed to an accomplice downstairs. Her heart seemed o stop Wating for awhile and then she shook In. r hus band awake an into a sitting posture. Then the whistling ceased. "John," she whlstiered. "I heard a whistle in this very room. Some oue is under the In-d. "I can't hear no whistle, said John, crossly and sleepily, and straightway dropped off to sleep again. The whis tle sounded again ami she shook John once more. Johu got up ami lit the gas and looked around the room. Then he noticed his pillow was very flat and the w histling rohl-er mystery was solved. The cap on the tu!e of the pillow had worked loose in its journey around the In-d and John's head hail been pressing the wind out of it; when he arose and took away the pressure the whistling ceased. Mrs. Kuinble's nerves hail had all the rublier pillow they could stand, and John will have to go back to counting sheep if he wants to sleep, for his rublier pillow is up iu the attic l-c hind an old trunk.

F.rory body knows that no circus is complete without them, but probably not many lioys, nor girls either, know just how they grow, says the New York Times. The peanut is supposed to Ik- a native of Africa, where it forms the chief food of certain regions, but it is found, too. in South America and KurojH'. the sjk--cies varying slightly iu the different countries. Here in the l'liited States it is cultivated chiefly in Virginia. North Carolina and Tennessee. The seed planted is the meat kernel, and care is taken not to break the skins. The plant grows like a vine, and the nuts hang on to it like jm-.-i pids. A single vine w ill, it isestimatcd. produce ultout one hundred nuts, if it is of t he average good condition. At this rate the yield er acre is forty bushels. Three varieties of these nuts are grown here the white, the rod an. I the Span ish. They are readily distinguished, as they have individual characteristics. The next time you eat a peanut with two kernels very white, with pink skius. you will know it is of the white variety, which is the most iiiiirtaiit . The shell of the red nut sometimes holds three or four dark kernels, ami its skin is of a decidedly dark red. so you cannot mistake that: while the S-vanish nut is so much smaller, with a lighter skin than either of the ot hers, that it will not Ik mistaken for cither. Nearly five million bushels of peanuts are used in this country eVery year. Italian Marlonectea. The first modern Italian writer who alludes to the performances! of marion ettes is the learned Ir. Jerome Cardan, who was txiru at Pava in I3ul. lie speaks with ositive enthusiasm of the perfection to which the art of work ing the little figures had then In- n brought, how by the pulling of a single string they could ! made to play, fight, hunt, dance, blow trumpets and cook "very artistically." Judging from sixteenth century pictures ami descriptions, the popular pupjH-t show s of those days differed but little from the performances that may Ik' wit nessed on the piazza of any Italian city in our own time. There was the little portable stage or castelleto. on which the burattini of Florence and Rome and the fantoccini of Naples played their mimic parts. The latter city was the birthplace of the mod ern street drama, "Puleiiiella." so named, it is said, from the hen chicken whose cry his voice is supposed to re semble. The Neaolitaii puuciuella was by no means such a monster of in iquity as our Knglish Punch.
