A Solemn Dance,
Tlicy havo a singular kind o dnnco
conducted on tho greens of country vll
Inges In Russia. Tho dancers stand
apart, n knot of young ( men hero, n,
knot of maidens there, each box by it
Bclf nnd silent ns n crowd of mutes. A
piper breaks into a tunc; a youth pulls
off his cap and challenges his girl with
n vraic nnd bow. If tho girl is willing,
ho waves her handkerchief in token of
assent Tho youth advances, takes a
corner of the handkerchief in his hand
nnd lends his lassie round nnd round.
No word is spoken and no laugh Is
heard. Stiff with cords nnd ricli with
braids,, tho girl moves henvily by her
self, going round and round and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
Tho pipo goes droning ou for hours in
tho snino sad key and measure, and
tho prizo of merit in this "circling," as
tho danco is called, is given by specta
tors to tho lassie who in nil that sum
mer revelry has novcr spoken nnd nev
er smiled.
Seeing Distances.
About 200 miles in every direction is
tho distance n man can see when stand
ing on u clear day on tho peak of tho
highest mountain say at a height of
20,008 feet, or a littlo over flvo miles
nbovo tho lovel of the sea. An ob
server must bo at a height of 0,007
foot nbovo sea level to seo objects at a
dlstnnco of n hundred miles. Tho dis
tnnco In miles nt which an object upon
tho Burface of tho earth is visible is
equal o tho square root of ouo and
ono-half times tho height of tho ob
server in feet above sea lovel. Somo'
nllowanco has to bo mado for tho ef
fect of atmospheric refraction, but as
tho refraction varies at different heights
and Is affected by tho various states of
tho weather no precisely accurato fig
ures for general purposes can bo given.
Probably from ono-fourtccnth to one
tenth of tho distanco given by tho
formula would hnvo to bo deducted
owing to tho refraction of tho atmos
phere. "Long Live tho King."
Tho expression "Tho king is dead,
long Hvo tho king," indlcntcs tho auto
matic succession of ruling sovereigns
thut tho moment a king dies his suc
cessor becomes king without nny fur
ther formality. It is bclloved to havo
had its origin at tho denth of Louis
XIV. of France. In Tardoo's "Llfo of
Louis XIV." is tho following account
of tho announcement of tho death of
that monarch:
"Tho death of Louis XIV. was an
nounced by tho captain of tho body
guurd from a window of tho stnto
npartment. liaising Ids truncheon
abovo his head, ho broke it in tho cen
ter nnd, throwing ' tho pieces among
. tho crowd, exclaimed in n loud voice,
Lo rol ost mortl' (tho icing Li dead).
Then, seizing another staff, ho nour
ished It in tho air as ho shouted, 'Vivo

Primitive Screws,
Scrows nro still made In India just
as they wcro mado originally, by wind
ing two boft wires together around a
mandrel. Tho wlros nro then carefully
soparnted, and ono of them is soldered
into a tubo or nut, while tho other Is
soldered to a short rod. All tho silver
smiths make their scrows in this way,
aud thoy nro all left handed, for they
aro wound over and over by tho right
hand. Scrow bolts nnd scvow presses
wero introduced by Europeans, and
for many years all tho cotton export
ed from 'Iudin was compressed by a
massive screw of wood, turned round
by cattlo yoked to a long lover. This
screw may still bo found in remoto dis
tricts. It Is cut entirely by hand and
is sot out by winding two ropes around

Where Starlings Drlng Ruin.
Jn "Quiet Dnj-B In Spain," tho nu
thor, C. B. Luffman, describes tho rav
ages of tho starlings In n hacienda do
voted to raising muacntcl raisins near
Malaga:
"Dogs and goats aro very fond of
grapes nnd nro only kept off them by
rural guards, but tho greatest enemy
of nil is tho starling. This bird tiles
over from Africa in such millions ns
literally to darken tho earth. When
ever they camp for tho night they
leave a desert. Every partlclo of fruit,
leaf, tender shoot nnd piece of soft
bark vanishes. As tho saying is,
'Many crops spell various fortunes; ono
crop of starlings spells ruin.' Tho
blowing of a southern wind and the
sound of wings in tho air produces
panic, mon'B faces blanch with terror.
In despair, bells aro rilng, guus fired,
torches lighted, and donkeys, mules
and horses nro gnlloped up and down
and round nbout to scaro 'los blchos'

, Thumb Prints.
In tho Argentine Republic tho identi

cab drivers, commissionaires nnd serv

prints. Upon nil passports nnd bnnk
receipts for deposits tho imprint of tho
thumb must bo mado nt tho tlnio of do
livery. In Roumanla since 1903 tho
thumb print has been substituted for
the cross mado instead of slgnnturo by
persons who cannot write. In tho Phil
ippine Islnnds those who cannot write
nro not obliged to bo identified by wit

make their mark with their thumb.
Tho samo system has boon used in

The First Railway Gauge.
An Interesting story was told by ono
of Georgo Stephenson's biographers ro
latlng how tho great engineer enmo to
allopt tho four foot eight and a half
inch gnugo for his railways. Somo
tlmo previous to tho building of his
Nowcnstlo and Cnrllslo railway Ste
phenson had an opportunity of inspect
ing sonic portion of an old Roman wnll,
through which tho chariots used to
bo driven. Deep ruts mado by tho
chariot wheels wero still visible, and
on measuring theso ho found their
dlstnnco apart to bo as near as possible
four feet eight and n half laches. Ste
phenson thereupon enmo to tho conclu
sion that if n world power llko tho
Romans hnd mado such uso of tho
measure for Its chariots ho could not
bo wrong in adopting those measure
ments ns a rule for his railway.
Fogs Bewilder Birds.
It is n curious thing that, though
human beings aro utterly bewildered
in a denso fog, most animals find tholr

culty. A horse will trot nloug in Its
right direction as though tho air wero
perfectly clear, and not only that but
ivlll tako tho right turning at tho right
moment if It is at all accustomed to
tho road. A human being would take
any turning but tho right one. Birds,
on tho other hand, nro utterly bewil

will r.omnln motionless all day long,

annual tribute of tho Pamunkey river

of tho Powhat-m nntlon, to tho gov
emor of Virginia. The manner of tho
presentation of tho tribute is simple
Tho chief and tho head men of the
tribe upon tho appointed day appear at
tho cnpltol bearing baskets of ducks
and fish and lay tho baskets at the feet
of tho governor. Tho few and simple
words which nro spoken nro traditional
and do not vary. Originally the trib
ute consisted of venison, ducks and
