Our World as It Appears to Venus and Our Own Moon. If we could be transported to the planet Venus a peculiar set of views could be obtained of our earth which would enable us to see ourselves, to some extent at least, as others see us. Venus is about the same size as the earth, is somewhat closer to the sun and has more atmosphere than the earth. When the earth and Venus are nearest together they are. of course, on the same side of the sun. and In couse quence of this the earth does uot see more than a very small part of the Venus illuminated, but Veuus. on the other hand, sees all of one side of the earth illuminated and consequently is able to claim she has something that takes the place of a moon anyhow, for the earth to Venus at this time looks very large and bright, almost as much so as our moon does to us. If we could see all the illuminated surface of Venus on these occasions we should have quite a distinct sec ond moou. When we do see all of her illuminated surface she is on the op posite side of the sun from us and con sequently at an enormous distance, yet she is so brilliant as to keep us from seeing her surface distinctly. But to our own moon we appear in the best light as a moon. A full earth as seen from the moon, according to Professor Todd and other astronomers. is a very inspiring sight on the oiood's surface. It can at once be seen why this is necessarily true. The earth is several times larger than the moon and would appear in the heavens as a disk about fourteen times the size of the moou. It would shine with prob ably a variable light, due to the shift ing clouds on the earth, though the light, of course, is reflected from the sun. and the reflecting is done in part by the upper surfaces of the clouds. The outlines of the continents of the earth appear very clearly to the moon as if they were formed of papier mache on a globe. Cities of compara tively large size could be made out with ease in case people were there to make them out. The iutensity of the reflected earth light would be as much as fourteen moons and would enable the Selenites, if such they are. to read or work in comparative day light. St. Louis Republic. GOLD HIDERS. 1 IS THE Best Advertising Medium IN THI PIEDMONT SECTION i BLOODSUCKING BATS THE COMET HUNTER. These Pests Are Plentiful In the Forests of Brazil. THEY ARE TRUE VAMPIRES. The Aurohuacos of Colombia Worship the bellow Metal. Infesting the snow clad slopes of sun kissed Ahorqueta, "the Sentinel, one of the highest peaks iu the Sierras de San Marta, in northern Colombia. is one of the strangest tribes of lu- dians knowu to ethnologists the Au rohuacos. Their name means "bidden gold," or "gold hiders." and that is just what they are. J hey worship the yellow metal, dividing their devo tions between gold and the suu. The Aurohuaco will do anything for old. Murder is nothing if it gains him the tiniest bit of gold. He worETs for any kind of money. When he gets enough silver or copper or paper mon ey he changes it for gold and then hurries with it to his mountaiu fast nesses, there to hide it, and come back for more. Why he wants it is impos sible to say. fs'o Aurohuaco ever was known to part either with gold dust or gold coin. Ilis neighbors, the Talemancas. are wholly different They regard gold or emeralds, also found in Colombia, as simply a medium of exchange for whis ky or aguadiente. The Talemanca is superstitious to an absurd degree and wears a wild turkey's foot on a neck lace as a talisman against sickness and bad luck. He worships fire as the cleansing and redeeming god. In this favored region is plenty of alluvial gold which ouly needs to be taken out to make the republic of Co lombia rich and powerful. But the Aurohuacos spoil the best laid plans of men who come there to mine. They let men dig and dig and wear their fingers away washing the precious yel low grains out of the earth, and then they murder the miners for their treas ure. This has been done countless times.

The ancient "dew ponds" of England have their modern counterparts on the rock of Gibraltar, where drinking wa ter is obtained by the condensation of the abundant dew iu specially prepar ed basins. The primitive process con sists in making a hollow in the ground and filling the bottom with dry straw, over which is placed a layer of clay. On a clear night the clay cools very rapidly, and the dew is condensed into water in the basin. The pond is im proved by putting a layer of asphalt ir portland cement under the straw. At Gibraltar the present practice is to use wood instead of straw and sheet iron instead of clay. rvi are suffering with Rheumatism, t '1. Sciatica. Neuralgia.

But Cattle and Horses Are Their Chief Victims, Which They Prefer to Hu man Beings Their Chisel-like Teeth and Peculiar Interior Anatomy. Half a dozen of us had been telling what we thought we knew about bloodsucking bats, but our conversa tion had developed only an astonish ing amount of misinformation and ir reconcilable differences. So we called in the doctor who had lived some years in Brazil and asked him to comb out our tangled ideas. "I'm not surprised, at your confu sion, ne Degan, "ror at one time or another I have believed above every thing your questions would suggest. When I was a schoolboy the vampire was a bat as large as a crow, had a horn on bis nose and was described as sitting on his victim's feet, fanning him with his wings while he worked his pumping apparatus. There is stu b a bat, but when it was proved that it was a fruit eater many of us doubted the whole bat legend along with the old mythology. There is a bloodsucking vampire, however millions of them. "The old Spanish conquistadors found proof of its existence in sore great toes, which looked as if the skin had been delicately shaved off, just deep enough to ooze blood, but they never caught one and naturally laid the blame to the biggest ones they found, which are nearly all vegetari ans. The real thing is a small reddish brown creature closely resembling bats of the same color caught here not in frequently. "The naturalist finds, however, some surprising differences. They have no teeth for any purpose save for thin ning the skin not enough for the blood to flow freely, but just sufficient to enable them to draw it by suction. The wound rarely bleeds after they leave it This preparation is done with a pair of chisel-like teeth, sharp as a knife. Their interior anatomy differs from other animals as well as their teeth. All the other animals, so far as I know, have a stomach and necessary organs for converting food into blood. The true vampire has only an elon gated sacklike intestine for the storage of the blood taken, which requires no digestion till it is taken up into the circulatory system. With neither teeth nor stomach, it has no alternative. It must find nourishment ready made. "This peculiarity may or may not account for one very strange thing about its selection of victims. Cattle and horses are the chief ones. Not one human being in a hundred entire ly satisfies their taste. Not half the people who live among them all their lives are ever bitten. But if one of a family, for instance, just suits them they'll follow that person to any part of the house, and no matter how care fully he may be covered or screened th'ey will find their particular tipple. "The stories of their bleeding people almost to death are true only partly. I have known of one boy who was so persistently followed that, while the loss of blood was small from a single attack, after months of the drain he was greatly reduced in vitality. He was always bitten in the same place the end of the great toe and it be came so lacerated that there was con siderable subsequent hemorrhage. This lad was the youngest of four broth ers. They ail slept in tne same room and sometimes changed beds, but none of the others was ever bitten. "Cattle and horses are attacked al ways at a spot on the spine just back of the shoulders, where the hair sep arates in a starlike spot. This in the case of a horse is just where the front end of the saddle comes, and the at tack therefore makes a vast deal of trouble where every one rides horse back. A majority of the Brazilian horses and nearly all the cows are bit ten by these plagues. 'Fortunately the pests are mostly confined to the forest country. They give comparatively little trouble in cit ies and villages, though the construc tion of houses makes it impossible to keep them out. In cities tiles are ex clusively used for roofs and in the country palm leaf thatching, and all kinds of bats come and go at pleasure. One rarely goes to sleep without from one to a dozen flying about the room. They are nearly all harmless and are welcome because taey catch insects. They all look so much alike that one does not know which to attack. "How the genuine vampires eluded scientific research so long is a mys tery. The species was not positively identified until the visit of Darwin in the Beagle. It was in the seventies, 1 think, and there is not at the present day, so far as 1 can learn, a single well authenticated case recorded in the natural histories of a true vam pire being captured while feeding on a human being." Dewey Austin Cobb in New York Tribune. His Emotions When He Finds a New Wanderer In Space. The process of comet bunting is per haps the most fascinating branch of practical astronomy. If there still lives among us moderns oue ouly survivor of the traditional astronomer, oue pa tient, expectant lover of the skies, seek him among the comet hunters, for today, as of old. you w.tti Hud him perched on some tower scanning the heavens from dusk to dawn, sleepless, almost hopeless of success, yet ever supported by the thought that perhaps he, too, may add bis chapter to Ibe story celestial. .Let us follow him at his work. Suddenly be sights a faint patch of hazy light, is for an instant uncertain, yet trusts that his eye de ceives him not. Another minute and a larger telescope has made him sure. It is there. He hurries to his library and consults Herschel's catalogue ot known nebulae. He finds the place in the book; down the page runs his eager f l r i o'l t 'I'hara fa rwit fittiir patni-rluil o r" I that exact spot on the sky. It must be a comet. Yet even Herschel's careful scrutiny was not so very infrequently at fault. As yet there is no certainty. He must apply the final test. The larger telescope is uow brought into play. If this is truly a comet it must be following some appointed or bit in space. It must be changing its position with reference to the stars. Probably half an hour will serve to settle the question to an experienced eye. The minutes pass. Is there mo tion or is there not? He thinks there is. Now he is almost sure there is. les. No man could remain impassive. His pipe goes out; be forgets to smoke. Another quarter hour makes assurance doubly sure. Success is bis. But now he is seized with a new fear. Is he the first or has some other anticipated the discovery? There is another tireless comet hunter who lives In Vienna. Perhaps even uow word is on the telegraphic cables. There is need of haste. The astrono mer runs to the telephone, calls long distance and asks for the Harvard college observatory, which is the cen tral distributing station for announc ing new discoveries. They tell him calmly that they have heard nothiug; that the discovery will be at once veri fied and made known by cable and telegram in every observatory through out the world before morning. Our astronomer goes to shut up bis tele scopes. He will work no more tonight, but he sways a little as he crosses the room. Professor Harold Jacoby in Harper's Weekly. THEY GROW HAIR. A Cruel Jest. Samuel .Rogers, the poet, resided with Lady Holland and amused him self by exacerbating her fears of ill ness and death. During the cholera epidemic Lady Holland was a prey to indescribable terrors. She could think of nothing but precautionary measures and on one occasion was describing to Rogers all that she had done. She enumerated the remedies she had placed in the next room the baths, the apparatus for fumigation, the blankets. the mustard plasters, the drugs of ev ery sort. "You have forgotten the only thing that would be of any use," observed Mr. Rogers. "And what is that?" "A coffin." replied the poet. Lady Hollaud fainted. "Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino." Certain Ingredients, if Properly Com bined, Stimulate Human Hair Growth. Resorcin is one of the most ef fective germ destroyers ever dis covered. Beta-naphthol is a most powerful, yet absolute safe ger micide and antiseptic, which pre vents development of germ mat ter, and creates a clean, healthy condition. -v 1 . 1 V Pilocarpine, although not a colored matter or dye, is an in gredient well established for its power to restore natural color to human hair. Borax, because of its well-de fined softening and cleansing properies, is most useful in the treatment of scalp and hair dis eases. Glycerine acts as a stim ulant to the hair bulbs, and has a soothing, heating and nourish ing influence. Alcohol is indis pensable in medicine because of its antiseptic, stimulating and preserving qualities. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chief ly composed of these ingredients, which are compounded in a pe culiar form, and we believe is the most effective remedy known to medical science for scalp and hair troubles generally.

The Mexican peon smokes cigarettes made of the dried leaves of the merri huana weed. One of the peculiar ef fects of merrihnana smoking is to dis tort the bigness of all animals, making them of enormous size and horrible shape. The smoker is filled with a horrible fear, something like the hor rors brought on by delirium tremens. A kitten or a puppy to his distorted vision appears as some terrible crea ture. A common sight in Mexico is to see a swarthy "greaser." armed to the teeth, flee in terror from a small dog, while he would fearlessly attack auy man with his knife or his machete. New York World. How Old Spiders Live. Old spiders, which, have neither web nor the materials to make oue. often hunt about to find out the webs ot other sniders, younger aud weaker than themselves, with whom they veu- ture battle. The invader generally succeeds, and the younger spider Is driven out to make a new web, aud the old spider remains iu possession until a strouger spider invades the web and drives it out. When thus dis possessed the spider seldom ventures another attack, but tries to subsist upon the few insects that may fall accidentally into its clutches and eventually dies of hunger. Insolent.

In September, 1104. two white men entered the Lesser Slave lake country, in the Canadian northwest, ostensibly prospecting for gold. Subsequently the Indians reported that one of the men seemed to be traveling alone, an ob servant Cree boy adding, "The white man's dog won't follow that fellow any more." The answers given by Charles King of Mount Pleasant, Utah, regarding his lost companion. Hay ward, were not satisfactory. King was arrested, and there began one of the most splendid bits of detective work of which Canada has record. Sergeant Anderson turned 'over the ashes of a campflre and found three hard lumps of flesh and a small piece of skull bone. In front stretched a little slough, or lake, which seemed a likely place in which to look for evi dence. Setting Indian women to fish up with their toes any hard substance they might feel in the ooze, Anderson secured a stickpin of unusual make and a sovereign case. He systematical ly drained the lake and found a shoe with a broken eyed needle sticking in it. The campfire ashes examined with the microscope yielded the missing part of a needle's broken eye and es tablished unmistakable connection be tween lake and camp. The maker of the stickpin in London. England, was communicated with by cable, and the Canadian government summoned a Mr. Hayward to come from England to identify the trinkets of his murdered brother. Link by link the chain grew. It took eleven months for Sergeant Anderson to get his com plete case in shape. The mounted po lice brought from Lesser Slave lake to Edmonton forty Indian and half breed witnesses. The evidence was placed before the jury, and the Indians returned to their homes. A legal tech nicality cropping up. the trial had to be repeated in its entirety, and once more those forty men, women and children left their traps and fishing nets and came into Edmonton to tell their story. The result was that Charles King was found guilty of the murder of Ed ward Hayward and paid the death penalty. The trial cost the govern ment of Canada over $30,000-all to avenge the death of one of the wan dering units to be found in every cor ner of the silent places, an unknown prospector.
