HOW TO KEEP COOL.
SOME OF THE METHODS EMPLOYED
BY NATIVES OF THE TROPICS.

ether fellow, vrho lives where it is al

ttiid then yea will Lave struck the key
note. For centuries the inhabitants of the
tropics have been devising ways to
krrp rooL Not only have the natural
resonrrea cf their own countries been
converted into methods of cooling
sthenics, but the mexlianical skill of
modern science has also been introduced
by the fabulously wealthy rulers of these
semi barbarous lands.
The Datives of New Guinea, who are
compelled, owing to the inten.se heat,
to go almost naked during most cf the
rear, have hit upon a tse-herue that is
claimed to make life not only bearable,
but highly enjoyable during the long,
hot days when tbe broiling ran is Bend
ing down eeeming rajs of fire.
While their plan does not tax the
brains of modern science, it is, never
theless, unique and involves the labor
of an enormous army of workers. Their
method is to take a broad ttrctch of
land adjeiuhig their large villages and
ctmvert it into a swamp. This is done
by clearing the land thoroughly of all
vegetation and underbrush, only the
trees being left standing. By mouths of
pati?nt labor, in which all inhabitants
of the village, both men and women,
join, they C.Cr a canal from the nearest
lak aud drain it into their artillcial
marsh. The depth of water in these
marsh: vnrirs from 10 to 20 or 30 feet,
according to the excavation done bef ore
band. Tkts are then cut and carefully strip
ped cf beta t-aifc and brauebes and
driven in groups in numerous parts cf
the marsh, leaving about 10 or 13 feet
above tho water. On the tops cf these
stilt, or pile, the houses arc then built
and so overhang the marsh.
Ia some parts of India "floating vil
lages" have been constructed with great
success. The inventors of this mode cf
keeping cool came from inland tribes of
natives, where the heat killed cS hun
dreds every year. These men journeyed
to the river shores and there built their
houses on large flat rafts. Some of these
villages have now grown to large pro
portions, and one near Mae-Oner's inlet,
or gulf of Gain, as it is now called,
numbers over 800 houses. They are all
connected by ropes, with seme 20 feet
of water between, and move with tbe
current. This huge excursion fleet, as it
appears, lazily floats from one shcre to
the other and up and down the btrtuni,
catching all the air that ctnnrs from the
neighboring forests. The difference ia
tmiK'rature between the land and the
rafts averages 2o degrees.
In yria the latest and most effectual
scheme cf escaping the stifling heat has
been f cu-u in the subterranean passages,
of which tbe country has many. Large
forces of Syrians have made mammoth
excavations in the passages, and here,
deep down in the bowels cf the earth,
fcuilt abodes. It is very cool tleiwn there,
the rocks oftentimes being actually cold.
This is large ly accounted for by their
contact with the numerous subterranean
waterways, which flow along under
mountains aad rents in the neks canned
by internal volcanic eruptions.
" Down there, hundreds of feet beneath
the earth's surface and in, as it were,
a gigantic tomb, the Syrians pass the
ueated portion of the day in quiet se
clusion and peaceful rest.
The Chinese, although a backward
and nnprogrcssivc race, havo neverthe
less tried many experiments for keeping
cool, and think they have solved the
question by their "tree dwellings." At
least it is the most satisfactory method
that has ever been put in operation in
the Flowery Kingdom.
Taking advantage of the tremendous
growth of tri'es in tao parts of the yel
low empire, the natives have built their
houses, like nests, in them. This they
do by splitting tho largo and topmost
branches and fitting the foundation cf
those houses securely in these splits.
Perched up there, a hundred feet in
the air and in the direct sweep of tho
wind when thero is any, tho Celestials
tlroam away the tedious summer day.
Tbe type of irehitet ture is more preten
tious than that displayed in the simple
log cabin. The walls are decorated
with curious designs, and the inter
woven latticework cf palm and bamboo
which form the houses give them a de
lightfully cool and airy appearance. It
is an ideal nest,- aiid one in which the
Ob-stial never tires of lingering.

Bto Honor' Toothache.
A good story is told of Judge V7, D.
Greer, a prominent lawyer of Paducah.
Once during a visit to St. Louis he had
a severe attack of toothache, lie sought
a denf.sfs office and was met by a
voung man who was scrupulously neat
and clean. Tho latter bowed 6uavely,
and the judge began :
"I believe you profess to be able to
retract teeth without pain."
"Ves, sir," was the reply, "and if
I .lon't do it 111 refund your money."
The judge was seated in the operat
ing chair, and the last thing he remem
bers was the dentist inserting a small
ute iu his mouth. He got a dose of gas
and became unconscious. When he caaie
to, the young man was under a table,
his erstwhile spotless shirt end collar
covered with blood and his clothe torn
almost beyond recognition. He was uvs
peratoly waving the jueW- off, sayii.g
all the while: "Get our? hero. Get
out of here. "
Ho seemed very anxiocs to have tbe
judge get out, but he couldn't oe in
duced to leave his retreat under the
table.
"Why. yonug man, what's the mat
ter?" asked the judge, who dic'.n't un
derstand the situation, in surprise- "If
I've deii anything, I'm willing to pay
for it."
The young man obtruded his head for
a moment, glanced reproachfully about
at the demolished furniture and his own
sorry plight, wavered tor a moment
and then exclaimed: "Pay hell! You
get cut of here!"
It seemed that the judge, under the
influence of the gas, had cleaned out the
establishment, and the dntist didn't
get the tooth either. Paducah Stand

The silicified trees of the Florissant

Cher it are scattered white and yellow

can itself distinguish, these could easily
be the chips lift in the path of work of
a recently passing woodsman. The de
ception is absolute, and it belongs to
the stump as welL The knots and gnarls
and annular rings are perfectly preserv
ed. The bark stands in prominent relit f
both by rnggedness and color, and ul
this not in wood, but in the monumental
substance of stone. The prexise mania r
in which the substitution vt silica fcr
wood was effected cannot now be learn
ed, but ia a gene ral way we know it to
bjve lieen brought about as the result
of a slow infiltration into the tree trunks
of heated waters containing silica in so
lution. The remains are fairly numerous, but
what strikes one with special astei:i.-h-mrnt
is tbe giant size which seme of
tliem attain. Diameters of six, sev u
and eight feet are by no means uncom
mon, and we measured three specimens
which spanned ten feet rr more. Ia
most instance the stumps hardly rie
above the surface, coming rp flush with
it; therefore without excavation it is
impossible to say at what height above
tbe roc ts the measurements were taken.

that his hands, "large, white atd nppai

like teneierness which adds to tho e xcel

Air Bat hie UTeaU.
Paradise fishes come from Japan, and
their nests are very odd, indeed, fcT
thry are composed of air bubble. Un
like goldfish, they will breed and raise
their young in an aquarium or even a
glass glebe, and, as they raiso three or
four broeds each year, the girl or boy
who owns a pair of the interesting pets
is almost sure to have a large fish fani
ily in a few mouths.
Ordinarily the male paradise fish is
of a dull silvery color, but when he goes
a-courting he puts cm a brilliant cor.t.
striped with streaks of red, blue r.i;d
green. When the female) fish is rcaeiy
to lay eggs, she builds her rnt by swal
lowing air and making bubbles, which
are held together by a sticky secretion
that comes from her rrouth.
The eggs riso in the water and find a
resting place among the air bubbles, to
which they cling. The female fish tries
to swallow the eggs, but her husband
drivis her away and keeps guard unt.I
the eggs are hatched. If the air bubbles
burst, the male fish blows some more,
so that the nest is always floating on
the surface of the water.
At tho end cf five days the young are
batched out They cannot swim, but
cling like tadpoles to the air lubbles.
If one falls, tho father fish catches it ia
his mouth cud blows it up among the
bubbles again. He does not leave 1 is
little ones until they are able to swim,
anel then they take care of themselves.
The paradise fish grows to a length
of three or four inches and thrives bet
on chopped up angleworms. If tin.
are kept from the cold, they increase
rapidly and make fine pets. Chicar

With regard to deaf mutisin, statis
tics show, for tbe most part, that the
closer the degree cf relationship be tween
tfce parents, the more numerous are the
number of the deaf mate children born.
For example, one marriage between
an nunt and nephew produced 3 de-f
mutes. Four marriages between uncle
and niece produced 11 deaf nmtcs.
Twenty-six marriages between first
cousins produced 38 deaf mutes. Sixteen
marriages between second cousins pro
duced 2S deaf mutes. Fcrty-se ven mar
riages between blood relatives produce .1
72 deaf mutes. Theso are important

THE

THE BEAUTY OF A SHIP.
Mra. Stowe'a raarinaUna DeMirlptloa of

Mrs. Stowe, in "Tho Pearl of Orr's
Island," gives this fascin'ng elescrip
t ion of ajj'bip wider niii? "What is
there belonging to this workaday world
of ours that ?.as such a fund of never
failing poetry and grace as a ship? A
ship is a beauty and a mystery wher
ever we see it Its white wings touch
the regions of the unknown and the
imaginative. They seem to us full cf
the odors of quaint, strange, foreign
shores, where life, we fondly dream,
moves in brighter currents thnn tho
muddy, tranquil tides cf every day.
Who that sees ono bound outward, with
her white breasts swelling and heaving,
as if with a reaching expectancy, does
not feel his own heart swell with a
longing impulse to go with her to the
faroff shores? Even at dingy, crowded
wharfs, amid the stir and tumult of
great cities, tho coming in of a ship is
an event that never can lose its inter
est But on these romantic shores cf
Maine, where all is so wild and still
and tho blue sea lies embraced in the
arms of dark, solitary forests, the sud
den incoming of a ship from a distant
voyage is a sort of romance. Who that
has stood by the blue waters of Mieldlo
bay, engirdled as it ia by green slope s
of farming land, interchanged here and
there with heavy billows of forest trees
or rocky, pino crowned promontories,
has not felt that sense cf seclusion and
solitude which is so delightful? And
then what a wonder! There comes a
ship from China, drifting tn like a
white cloud, the gallant creature!
How
tho waters hiss and foam before her!
With what a great, free, generous plash
she throws out h r anchors, as if sho
said a cheerful 'Well done!" to some
glorious work accomplished! Tho very
life and spirit of strange, rcmantio
lands come with her. Suggestions of
sandalwood and since breathe through

tho tablo in tho hotel," continued Mr.
Jefferson, "when I was attracted to the
colored waiter, who .was giving a
graphic and detailed account of the

of the boarders who sat nearly opposite
me.
" 'Yes, sah, said tho waiter, 'Kip

" 'Why,' said his listener, 'you don't

" 'True? Ob course it is! Why,'
pointing at me," said Jefferson, " 'dat's

"When I got to tho theater," said
Mr. Jefferson, resuming tho story, "I
