Miaken up every day or two by earth

the Yellowstone park and old ones aro
throwing up rocks and hot water from

Jaw is perhaps tho most interesting
phenomenon of any of these strange
freaks of nature Except for iv fow small
coral reefs all of tho islands in tho Ha
waiian group Imvo been built up exclu
sively by tho ejection of molten rock
from tho interior of tho earth The is
land of Hawaii has five volcanic
pejiks which aro almost 14000 feot
high And tho most remarkable fact
nbout Hawaii in that by far tho greater
part of it is under water The sea hero
iH from 12000 to lflPOO feet deep And
tho slope of Manna Loa and tho other
Hawaiian volcanoes is bo gentle that it
seldom amounts to 10 degrees Now if
in imagination tho protilo of tho visible
island 70 or 80 miles across at sea
level bo continued downward for 2
or 8 miles tho mass of matter which
it will includo and which tho geolo
jfistH boliovo has all como up out of
tho bowolB of tho earth is something
appalling especially when tho forces
-which wero required to construct it aro
considered
Concedcdly tho great propondcranco
of railroad casualties occur whero tho
tracks cross at grade city and villago
etreetH and country highways It would
be best if tho deadly grade crossing
could be abolished altogether but as
this appears to be a consummation
remote tho public should
have tho protection of the most perfect
flagging and gate servico that it is pos
sible to givo As n rule tho positions of
flagmen and gate tenders aro used by
Ihe railrond companies to prevent suits
Sac damages on tho part of injured em
ployees Men who lose arms and legs
in the companys servico are sot to
watching tho crossings with tho ap
parent notion that it does not require
xnen in tho possession of their full phys
ical faculties to perform this cIiibs of
work It is all right thnt tho railroad
companies should look out for their crip
pled employees but it should bo in some
other direction than that which imperils
the public Frequently an accident a
a gmdo crossing is averted only by the
exerclbo of that judgment and prompt
ness of action which reqniro perfect
physical faculties as well as n clear and
well balanced mind

El Sufragio Universal of Pnerto

Himplo directions for tho treatment

Tho recent lynching incident in Lou

A Rare Winner
A burrardwho found a freshly killed
hare and was about to bear It away to
a tree top to be eaten at leisure was
ndtlresscd by a fox who came running
up with
Ah now but I mistook you for tho
eoglu and wattled a word with you
Tho buzzard was Haltered and offered
reynard the head of tho hare As who
did so the wolf came up and observed
Well well but who ever saw tho
buzzard looking so llerco and so proud
as today Iteally now but 1 took you
for the condor
That tickled tho buzzard again and
to bIiow her good will she divided tho
body of tho haro with tho wolf She
had said that sho must be off when
tho Jackal came trotting up and ex
claimed
Upon my word but 1 must havo
dust In my eyes I was sure that my
friend here was the ostrich and I was
going to ask her for a feather Mrs
Uuzzard my compliments
The buzzard grinned and giggled
and tried to look shy and ineanwlillo
the Jackal ate up the other half of tho
hare
Here hows this wheros my
part exclaimed tho buzzard as bho
got to see what had happened
Oh we took the meat and you havo

A body might be mummified in three
different ways and tho prico varied ac
cordingly In tho first and most expen
sive method the brain was extracted
through the none by means of an iron
probe and the intestines wero removed
entirely from the body through an in
cision made in tho sido with u sharp
Ethiopian stone Tho intestines were
cleansed and wahhed in palm wine and
after being covered with powtWtd aro
matic gums were placed in tanopic
jars Tho body was then filled np with
myrrh and cassia and other fragrant
and astringent snlmtances and was laid
in natron for 70 days It was then care
fully washed and wrapped up in Htrips
of hue linen smeared with gum Tho
cost of mummifying a body In this fash
ion was a talent of silver or about J I0
In tho second method tho brain was
not removed at all and tho intestines
wero simply dissolved and removed in a
fluid Btate The body was also laid in
ealt or natron which it is said dis
solved everything except the skin nnd
bones Tho cost of mummifying in this
manner was 2J iniiitu or nearly 00
Tho third method was employed for
tho poor only It consisted simply of
cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent and then salting it for
70 days Tlio cost was very small

There is a ticket chopper nt tho Park
place station of tho elevated railroad
who could not take a prize in n beauty
uhow in any climate and whoso mark
ed aggressiveness of mien fails to soften
tho effect of natures handiwork upon
his visage A lady crossing the platform
in n hurry dropped ono of two largo red
rohes that graced her corsage It was
promptly pounced upon by tho chop
per who seeing that its owner had
no intention of returning to reclaim it
fell to fondling his prize with so evi
dent an air of delight that a group of
three or four brakemen fellow employ
ees who stood near hy waiting for an
up town train found avast amusement
in guying him
At the Instant thoy did so a tired
looking woman dragging a shabbily
chid little girl by the hand approached
tho box The child whoso great oyes
wero sunk deeply in her palo little fore
head broke loose from her mothers
hand stopped stock still nnd began star
ing hungrily at tho rose In an instant
it was in her possession nnd tho great
eyes had gone out of mourning In two
seconds the unlovely chopper was glow
ering at other arriving pnssengoramoro
belligerently than over nnd his friends
tho brakemen had forgotten to jeer

Lewis Carroll tho author of Alice
In Wonderland was fond of puzzling
his friends with curious problems Ono
of them was the question When does
tho day begin If a ninn could travel
around the world so fast that the sun
would always bo directly abovo his head
and if ho wero to start traveling at mid
day on Tuesday then in 24 hours ho
would return to his original point of
departure and would ilnd thnt tho dny
was now called Wednesday at what
point of his journey would the dny
change Its name The difllculty of an
swering this apparently Kiinplo question
has cast a gloom over many a pleasant
party
Another problem was ns follows A
rope is hung over a wheel fixed to tho
roof of a building at one end of tho
ropo a weight is fixed which exactly
counterbalances a monkey which is
hanging on the other end Suppose that
the monkey begins to climb the rope
what will bo the result It is very curi
ous tho different views taken by good
mathematicians Ono says the weight
goes up with incrensing velocity others
say that it goes up at the samo rate as
the monkey while another says it goes
down
Could Apply the Inmble
It is not always safo to talk in para

school board story shows A correspond

portrait for tho class of tho ninn who
did not shino in the world of polite so
ciety You cannot fail to know him
said I for ho nover cleans his boots
nor washes beforo meals He speaks
nnd drinks when his mouth is full and
generally umh his knifo in place of his
fork
Gradually tho lad whom this story
was designed to profit showed an awak
