»| Fissures In the Rockies.
In some of the high plateaus or mesas
of the Rocky mountains there are to be
J found a short distance from the edge
cracks or fissures not more than four
feet wide and often as much as eighty
feet deep. During the terrific blizzards
that rage in the winter these crevices
i are filled to the level, and cattle and
horses which are not acquainted with
the country frequently drop into them,
their struggles only causing them to
sink deeper and deeper. The cracks,
into which the sun never penetrates,
are like refrigerators, and the hapless
brutes when death has come to their
relief become to all intents and pur
poses mummies.
World's Oldest Investment.
The oldest investment security on
earth is the real estate mortgage. We
know that money was loaned on mort
gages in ancient Babylon in the time
of King Hamurabi, 4,000 years ago,
and that some 2,500 years ago the great
| Babylonian banking house of the Egibi
family invested large sums in mort
gages on both city and farm property,
the mortgages being recorded on bricks,
which have been preserved in the safe
ty deposit vaults of those times—great
earthenware jars buried in the earth
preserved until the archaeologists in our
own day and age dug them up to show
us when, where and how mortaratres
originated.
Life Expectancy.
According to the public health serv
ice, life expectancy during infancy and
childhood has increased because of the
more intelligent care of babies and
young children, but life expectancy aft
er the age of forty is less now than it
was thirty years ago, because those
who have arrived at years of discretion
do not exercise discretion for them
selves and take sufficient exercise to
overcome modern conditions. Many
more people are engaged in sedentary
occupations than formerly, which de
prives them of natural assistance af
forded by physical exercise in eliminat
ing through the skin and lungs the
waste products of the body.—Collier's
Weekly.
l\oan and Woman.
Man is the most ridiculous animal on
the face of this earth. Women are not
nearly so ridiculous, for they are more
instinctive, more like the animals
which we call the lower animals in our
absurd self conceit—George Moore.
loung Wife—Do you think it Justi
fiable for a wife to take money from
her husband's pockets? '
Older Wife—lt Isn't a case of Justifi
cation at all. It is a question of finding
any to take.
Skins of seals and hyenas were be
lieved by the Greeks to be effective
protections against lightning.
