Diseases KngciMlered.
A French physician hag been
taking notes on the temperature)
high hats. In the early morn
ing, when the doctor was waiving
the Bols de Doalogne, while
the shade temperature was 77
degrees, the Instrument Inside the
hat registered 90. At noon, when
the outer air was at 90 degrees, the
temperature Inside the hat was 10S.
In the evening, with a cool breeze at
8 degrees blowing, the top-hat tem
perature was 88. The doctor read a
paper before the Academy showing
that this unnatural heating of the
head causes many nervous diseases
nd anYctionsof the brain.
Foretold His IVnth.
Bismarck's anticipation of the
date of his own death is uot gener
ally known. About nineteen years
ago, during a debate in one of the
great military schemes, he refused to
Interfere with the Septennate bill on
the ground that ho expected to live
another three years, but to die with
in seven. In other words, he calcu
lated on living till 1890 and on dying
before 1894. As a mnttter of fact, hiu
prediction was not far wrong, for,
though he actually lived until
S97, he was politically dead as soon
as ho went Into retirement at Fried-richshuh.

China's Coal Mines.
Hongay, Tonkin, China, has the
safest coal mine in the world. Tho
working is on the side of a hill, which
Is one solid block of coal about 200
feet high. To get at the mineral It is
necessary only to remove a layer of
schist on the surface. The coal,
which is of good quality, is mined to
the extent of about 1,000 tons a day.
There is a good deal of dust, which la
used for making briquettes. Tho
Staff of the mine Is composed of fifty
Europeans and 3,500 natives.
Smart Sailors Again.
Manv a year since the plain mannish straw sailor hat en
joyed any great degree of popularity. Eight years ago, we re
member, it was difficult to supply the demand, so urgent was it,
Unless all signs fail, history will repeat itself this season. Ev
erything points to a revival, but the trouble is manufacturers are
unprepared. Every retailer in the land is clamoring for sailor
hats, but there isn't enough to go around. With our usual
forethought we made preparations. Four dozen arrived a short
time a20. while ten dozen additional are in transit. The rough
braid has the call. Black is favorite, next comes white.

MANIFOLD VARIETIES OF COliX.
What a Photograph Told.
A woman with an exceptionally
clear complexion recently sat for her
photograph. On receiving the proof
ahe took It back to the artist and
complained of a number of small
spots on the face which marred an
otherwise perfect picture. The pho
tographer was at a loss to account
for this, an examination of the nega
tive falling to give the slightest
clew to the source of trouble. A fort
night later an eruption of spots
broke out on the woman's face, which
prored to be the first outward symp
toms of a very severe attack of
smallpox.
rhcasaiita in MiniH'sot:i.
Present indications are that in. a
few years Minnesota will contain a
good stock of Chinese pheasants as a
result of the Introduction of that
gamy bird of beautiful plumage by
the State Game and Fish Commis
sion. The commission has 312 young
birds ready for distribution in small
quantities to points in the State
where they can be guaranteed pro
tection from hunters for ten years,
Trhich the law allows them.
Living in South Africa.
Prices are high In South Africa
and bills for laundry are frequently
exorbitant. Persian, Kaffir and
Cape women do the work after a
fashion. "One usually pays 1 $5
per month a bead, says a woman
correspondent, "and the woman who
washes for you takes everything for
that, but Is apt to vanish for a month
on end with your clothes!"
Powerful Searchlight.
The searchlight on board the Brit
ish battleship Dreadnought is of a
new type.being double-ended, so a3
to throw powerful beams of light in
exactly opposite directions to facill
tate semaphore signaling. Each
light is of nearly 50,000 candlo
powor, and placed on top of the tri
pod mast, will be visible twenty
miles.
Effect of Alcohol.
A Berlin periodical, the Lltera-
rische Eco, has collected and print
ed the opinions of over 100 authors
on the effect of alcoholic drinks on
brain work. A large majority of
them pronounce It to be injurious,
and advocate moderation or absti
nence in the use of alcohol.

A Dying Xeckluce.
The famous "Mme. Theirs'
necklace," part of the legacy left to
the French republic by President
Theirs, is said to be dying. Lt is a
well known fact that pearls turn
black and die unless worn frequently
next to the skin. The necklace is in
the Government museum and Is val
ued at nearly $60,000.
His Varied Career.
Vere Goldthwait, one of the most
Interesting personalities of the Hos-
ton bar, has had a romantic career.
He Is the son of a well known Bos
ton physician and for a number of
years travelled with a wild West
show. For a time he was one of the
known cowboys of Colorado. !. at

Made a Poor Showing.
The Toklo papers are extremely
sore at the poor result shown by the
Chinese students who have studied
In Japan at the civil service exami
nation held In Pekin. It Is stated
that the students who received their
education in England and America
succeeded remarkably well In the
examination.

Cultivation Results In Existence Of
Five Hundred Kinds.
A surprising history Is presented
la a recent report to the Department
of Agriculture with reference to one
of America's greatest contributions
to the food supply of the world, In
dian corn.
Under the effects of cultivation
the recognized varieties have in
creased from the few known by the
early explorers to more than 500.
The variations in size are Interest
ing, especially as regards the height
of the stalk. This runs from a fo-t
and a half for some kinds of pop
corn to twenty-two feet for a Ten
nessee variety, and thirty or more
for varieties grown In the West In
dies.
The expert who has reported to
the Department of Agriculture on
the subject describes one group in
which each kernel is surrounded by
husk, and the ear thus formed Is
Itself enveloped in husks.
Some classes of pop-corn have
ears only one Inch long, while the
ears of common corn sometimes at
tain a length of sixteen inches.
Earth's Slinky Foundation.
There Is never a day on which
some part of the earth is not shaken;
and lt is probable that not even an
hour ever passes without some kind
of an earthquake In some part of the
earth. The truth of this statement
may be inferred from the fact that
In Japan alone 8,331 earthquakes
were recorded between the years
1885 and 1892. The great majority
of these shocks are tremors detected
only by Instruments, or. if noticed by
man, of such slight Intensity as to
cause no alarm.
Earning Starvation Wage.
A woman who has applied to the
Lambeth Guardians for relief says
she is a buttonhole maker, is paid
twopence a dozen and that It takes
an hour and a half to make them.
Evidently there are still people who
sing the song of the shirt.
Population of "San Juan HIU."
On "San Juan Hill." bounded by
West Sixty-first and blxty-secona
streets, Amsterdam and West End
avenues, in New York city, Is a block
that has 6,173 inhabitants. It is the
most populous block In the world.
England's Monster Trumpet.
A monster tiumpet which was
used to summon the people to
church in the early part of the last
century is still to be seen at Bray
brooke church, England. It Is sixty
six inches long.
Xova Scotia's Fish Record.
The reduction works at Canso,
Nova Scotia, handled 1,300 tons or
dogfish in 1905 and produced there
from 9,000 gallons of fish oil, be
sides 200 tons of fish scrap, which
makes a good fertilizer.
Where Kenls are High.
People who think rents are high
will be interested in knowing that a
Ingle room In Cornhlll, London, re
cently rented for $18,000 a year.
The rents there are the highest on
earth.
What Concrete Has Done.
The use of concrete already has
thrown thousands of stone masons
and cutters out of work throughout
the country. In some large cities
whole buildings have been construct
ed of tho material.
Introducing; Electricity.
The Sultan has given up opposing
the introduction of electric light in
Constantinople, and ere. long that
city will be lighted at night for the
first time.
Where Snow Is Sold.
Snow Is sold for a cent a pound In
the north of Sicily. It Is a Govern
