Man can afgnd greater extremes of temperature than any other warm-blooded animal. The steamer Sandal, carrying esparto grawi from Almeria to Aberdeen, caught fire in the English channel. She reached Portland voads with her whole cargo ablaze. The pilot had juut come aboard when the engineer scrambled on deck. "I have been driven out of the engine room," he gasped. "1 can't go back!" arid fell in a faint at the captain's feet. 1 The ship was driving straight on shore. If her holm were turned to sea again, her crew would have to face the spreading flames; if not. she would smash upon the beach. It was the engineer who solved the problem. Copiing to, he volun teered to stop the ship. The ladder was nearly red-hoi The tefnpera ture in the engine room was any thing you please. Yet the engineer passed through that flaming atmos- I phere and managed to stop the en gines just in time. More marvelous still, he came back to the deck alive! GREAT WRITER VERY HUMAN Author Tolls of Interesting Associa tion* He Had With Creator of "Becky Sharp." I once made a pilgrimage with Thackeray (at my request, of course, the visits were planned) to tlie vari ous houses where his books had been written, and I remember when we came to Young street, Kensington, he said,, with .xrock gravity, "Down on your knees, you rogue, for hers 'Vanity Fair' was penned! And I will go down with you, for I have a high opinion of that little produc tion myself." He was always per fectly honest in his expressions sbout his own writings, and it was delightful to hear him praise them when he could depend on his listen ers. .... A One day he wanted a little serv ice done for a friend, and I remem ber Yils very quizzical expression as he said, "Please say the favor asked will greatly oblige a man of tHe name of Thackeray, whose only rec ommendation is that he has seen Napoleon and Ooethe, and is the owner of Schiller's sword." . . . —James T. Fields, in "Yesterdays With Authors." « WHIRLING WINDS RAIN" FISH ' ✓ • • * ' • i "?• '• "V> ' Waterspout la Said to Have Onto Emptied Chrletlansoir HaiOcr 0 In Denmark. Whirling winds have immense lifting and carrying power. At Christianson, Denmark, a water spout once temporarily emptied the harbor to such an extent that the greater part of the bottom was un covered. Naturally, great quantities of small fish and other marine or ganisms were thus picked up and carried long distances. Another phenomenon of that kind is recorded as having occurred dur ing a violent storm at sea some dis tance from Paris. When morning came the streets were found to be covered with fish of various sizes. The mystery was soon solved, for a neighboring „fisb pond had been sucked nearly dry and only the larger fish wert left behind. "Showers" of other vertebrates than frogs, toads and fishes sre very rars, but in 1896 there occurred a remarkable shower of birds, when hundreds of various species fell dead in the streets of Batdfa Rouge, La. In one street alone children collect ed the tpdies of 200. It is believed the birds were v driven inland by a stojyi on the Floridh coast, and thai the force of the wind and the sud den change of temperature caused their death.—Detroit News. NOT MADE FOR MAN'S USE Nature In Providing Flowers Wit^ Perfumee Had a Very Definite \ . Purpooe In View. Man uses mis of flowers to pro vide himself witlF}>crfume, but the plant or flower has another purpose than this. The perfume is not made for man's use, hut for the use of the plant itself. ,In the plant and flower world the smell of the plant which is in the flower is a part of the scheme whereby plants repro duce themselves, according to the Book of Wonders. Every plant in order to Reproduce itself must produce a seed. The flowers are in most cases the vance agent of the coming seed. Each flower produces within itself a little powder called the pollen, but as plants an like people—also male and female—they are dependent upon each other for the production of a perfect seed. Some of the pol len from the male plant, must be mixed with the female plant before S perfect seed results. Bed of Old Cinders Bsltovsd Effica cious In Oreece—PrepoMorous Remedy the Colic. . / When a Greek baby i* sick jjftd all other remedies fail, a'bed of eold cinders is very generally u«ed a* a ' last resort.- The cftdle is nllfccl with old ashes and the infant is buried in them. The American nurses have never bqen able to discover what the benefit to be derived from this curi ous custom was supposed to be. The cure for colic is even more curious. When the baby has a se vere colic the ponds in the environ* of the house are diligently marched by ntembei's of the family and all the frogs are captured. These are placed alive oA the child's abdomen. It is a very tiresome treatment, as some one must sit and keep the. frogs from hopping off the patient. No thought is given to the terror these jumping frogs may have for the child. Among the gypsies tßat wander over, the Balkans the work of the Bed Cross nurses is more difficult It will take years of preparation and education to enable them merely to begin to pnderstand the idea of child welfare.

C, ' LAKE FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL Titicaca, In tho Andaa Mountains, De scribed as an Immsnss Reservoir of les Watsr. Cake Titicaca is a great body at water, almost as large as Lake Erie, yet situated a good two, miles above sea level, willed in by the desolate bills of the Andes. Its remoteness makes for romance, and a writer in the West Coast Leader believes that Titicaca scenery has been too glowingly painted in "tourist arti cles" intended for armchair read ing in North America. It is just an enormous pool of ice water, he declares, with treeless cliffs for shores. Nevertheless, the whole re gion is full of'4be primitive, the" perilous and the picturesque. The Indians still cross the HO miles of the lake in the strange reed balas which the Incas used before the coming of the Spaniard. It is fash* ioned simply frOm four bundles of the huge reeds which grow in pro fusion along the -edges. Two large bundles form the body of the craft and two smaller its railings. Eten ihe sail is made of reeds lasbed to gether. For Peruvians, comfortable steam ers, with stateTooms ( ' and dining service, ply . bade and forth high above the world, arf3 make the cir cuit of the shpre in three days. .But Titica,ca Indians, next to those of the interior Amazon region, are the' most primitive in Peru.

But tlie great popularity of golf had not begun in 1888. It* is Mnce 1900 that the greatest progress has been made. To contrast with the world's 183 courses in are the 300 courses that now he withrh easy-dis tant of New York city. One of the most extraordinary iHanifestations of our growing in terest in golf is the number of courses that are scattered over the world, Where there were 183 in 1888 there are now a great and in definite number that are scattered about profusely.' In the British Isles alone there are more than 2,000, and in the United States the number exceeds 3,000, « ON THE WAY. Harvard astronomers are watch ing a celestial conflagration which happened so far from this world that the light rays have just reach ed us after two hundred thousand years. Inversely, in a few ftiore centuries, perhapß the Martians will enjoy a little speculative gossip as to what is pausing the big flare-up on the Planet Earth. And it will be Emperor Nero's Jazzy bonfire at Rome. Like an order in a restau rant, the light rays are "on the way."—Arthur H. Folwell, in Le»> lie's Weekly A SUPER-GENIUS.

GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS In Use For Over 30 Years • The Kind You Have Always Bought NEW FORM OF IRON RELIEVES STOMACH TROUBLES Eat What You Like—Stop Suffering From Acid Stomach —-Gas, Pains and Other Forms of In digestion—Results Almost Immediately For years physicians have been searching for a form of iron that could be combined with certaiq other in gredients like pepsin, etc., tot use in treating chronic disorders of the di gestive tract, mal-assimilation etc., etc. This js sufficient evidence that medicine recognizes the great value of iron for stomach troubles when administered in proper form. If you have been disappointed with lack of results from puis and tonics said to contain iron you can now un derstand that the iron wad not pre sented in a form that could be absorbed by the stomach into the system. And therefore could not possibly bring you benefit. This new form of iron is not pre pared by chemists—it is found in Na ture itself combined with other highly beneficial medicinal agents."

Situated in the solar system'be* tween Mars and Jupiter are 22 baby planets, discovered by Prof. James C. Watson who, when he died, left a sum of money to "take care of them* These planets are not visible tfc the naked eye,, says the New York Sun. The largest is called Ceres; it has a diameter of alout 500 miles, or one-fifteenth that of the eArth, The smallest of the planetoids *is only about 20 miles from .pole to pole. Through „ observation of them many interesting astronomical facts have been learned. For example, the mass of the giant planet Jupiter*? which is 11 times as large ss the earth, has been qalculated more ac curately bjr observation of the in fluence it exercises over these small bodies, four of which revolve in al most the same period and at the same mean distance around the sun as their gigantic neighbor. BUILDINO BLOCKS INTERLOCK. Building blocks of concrete, tile or other suitable material are made to interlock by an ingenious forma tion of their top and bottom sur faces, in the design of a Wisconsin inventor, says an illustrated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. V-shaped grooves arranged in her ringbone order, at a 45-degree angle, are forced in the Mocks. The spe cial unit used at corners has the an# of the herringbone design run ning transversely on one-half the mdtm, mi longitudinally gn the that you can feel in a very short time. Just ask your druggist for Acid Iron Mineral. He will also tell you that stomach troubles are relieved by tak ing a .spoonful in a glass of water three times a day. And for acute conditions like "sour stomach" etc., a single dose will in most cases bring relief. This natural form (if iron seems to neutralise the excess acid in the stomacbasnothingelse in all medicine. Stomach disorders of long standing where the patient is subject to dis treMafter eating,gulping, headaches, dizziness, etc., yield positively to steady treatment with Acid Iron Mineral.
