a scale , but the accommodations are equally as good as the Palace Sleepers , and are sold at half
the price.

passenger to the Pacific Coast. This sum can be saved by patronizing the Union Pacific Per
sonally Conducted Excursions.

The new artificial stone industry
of Germany is claimed to have import
ant advantages over brickmaking.
The output is larger with a given in
vestment , production can be continued
throughout the year , and the stone is
harder and stronger than brick. The
ingredients are 4 to 6 per cent of lime
and 94 to 96 per cent of sand. These
are mixed and shaped into blocks ,
then placed in a boiler and exposed
for ten hours to steam at a pressure
of 120 to 150 pounds per square inch.
Pressure and chemical action combined
bring about a union of the calcium
and silica , forming , it is stated , a
much more flint like compound than
results from the hardening of mortar.

A summary of the British climate
for 1900 , as reported from 18 stations
in all parts of the Empire , shows
that the hottest place was Adelaide ,
with a shade temperature of 112.2 de
grees on January 1 , and a sun temper
ature of 170.5 degrees. The coldest
place was Winnipeg , which registered
84.8 degrees below zero on February
9 , and had a range for the year of 158.8
degrees. The highest temperatures of
London (95.2 ( degrees on July 10) ) and
Toronto (98 ( degrees on August 6) ) ex
ceeded any before recorded. The
greatest rainfall was 89.8 inches at
Calcuta , and the least was 16.1 inches
at Malta.
Physique and predisposing condi
tions could mark the Jews as probably
the most consumptive of European
peoples. They are the shortest in
stature and the most narrow chested ,
they live mostly in towns , they are
especially exposed to infection from
second-hand clothing , they are weak
ened by consanguineous marriages ,
and they suffer from poverty , anxiety
and persecution. Yet statistics in
Europe , America and Australia show
that the Jews are almost exempt from
tuberculosis. How to account for this
striking immunity is a problem of the
greatest importance in the present
war agiust this disease , but one whose
solution is not easy. Lombroso ex
plains that the Jews are not exposed
to the weather in their usual occupa
tions. Dr. Maurice Fishberg , a late
writer , accepts the view of Behrend
that the careful selection of meat pre
scribed by the Jewish religion is the
chief reason why they have no more
consumption , but believes that ab
stinence from alcohol is a contributing
cause.
The blood corpuscles of animals are
found by a Swiss biologist to vary
enormously at different times. He
concludes that life forces ebb and flow
in daily and yearly periods from out
side changes , and monthly from vital
processes. Our senses are made unre
liable by both normal and abormal
variations. Treating of fairies , appar
itions , visions and hallucinations ,
Sir Lander Brunton lately pointed out
the great differences in the acuteness
of the senses , some persons seeing
blue flames in the fire in winter and
some hearing "the shrieks of bats and
myriads of other sounds on summer
evenings , while others perceive
neither. Similarly , there are people
who feel what others do not feel. Ap
paritions are probably due to abnormal
conditions of the apparatus for receiv
ing impressions. The internal vessel
of the brain may contract , like those
outside , and thus give anaemia of
parts of the brain , and consequent
affections of vision , hearing , smell
and taste. Psychologists connect epi
lepsy with the form of headache
known as migraine. Migraine is of
ten preceded by a vision of zigzags ,
and a troop of spirits in 'this form
with which Dore illustrated the "In
ferno" suggests that both he and
Dante suffered with this headache.
Stories of fairies may be refered in
part to visions. Hallucinations of sight
glide naturally into hallucinations of
hearing , and both into epileptic vis
ions. To such visions the "Koran"
of Mohammed seems to have been due ,
and it is curious to speculate upon the
changes in history a thorough dosing
of the prophet with bromide of potas
sium might have wrought.
