THE BASQUES.
An Interesting People Who Are a Put-
sle Among Nations.
The Basque provinces He In the
north of Spain and. although for cen-
turies students have tried to trace tbe
real origin of the people and find a key
to their Inngunge. they have failed to
do so
All other known tougues spoken by
the sons of men have been shown to
possess a common origin traceable to
the Arabic and Semitic. But the
Basque language has entirely resisted
he philologist. In some aspects the
vernacular shows traces of a Chinese
admixture. In others It Is clear that
North American Indian terms are na-
tive to It It also shows traces of
barbaric languages spoken on the east
coast of Africa.
Tbe people themselves bear physl-ologd-sl
traits found In those wbo
speak the said tonguea Tbe nstlve
name of Basqueland Is Eskuara and
their motto Is "Inimctiat." or Three
In One." Nor Is their political struc-
ture anything like that of any known
political body though they belong of
course to Spain Each Basque prov-
ince) Is governed by a parliament com-
noneO of representatives selected
partly by election pertly by lot-
among the householders of escb coun-
try psrlsh or town. Tbelr laws are es-
sentially peculiar to themselves and
are conceived nn no known code either
of ancient or mediaeval times. They
are a puzzle among nationa and num-
ber half a million all tnlL-New Tork

Paper Which Is Waterproof.
In Japan there Is a paper made which
Is Impervious to wster. being made of
bamboo fibers snd eucalyptus mixed
with the fibers of tbe gampl and some
other shrub. Tbe fibers are first torn
apart made dry. cleaned and scraped
boiled In a weak lye and thoroughly
washed In water after which they are
beaten and then mixed with certain
roots msde Into a viscous state A
solution contslnlng resin caoutchouc
and camphor la slso added. A sort of
pulp Is thus formed and then made
into sheets which are ran through a
calendering machine heated to various
temperatures. Tbe result Is that a
paper m produced vhlrb is exceedingly
tough. light and which may be washed.
Tbe Japanese use It for leather Imita-
tions and ludla rubber. PatbOnder.

REAL THREAD OF LIFE.
A Tiny Wisp of Tissue Imbedded In
the Heart's Walla.
According to tradition. It was Atro-
I pes. tbe blind Fury with the abhorred
s bears who silt the thin spun life
and many of Milton's readers may
Ituve wondered whether there was any
thread lu tbe anatomy of men the
severance of which would be Immedi-
ately fatal. Injurlea to ttio brain and
heart. In botn of which tbe principle
of life has been supitosod to reside
may be survived for shorter or longer
lerlods; but. as sn article by Dr. C E.
.ea reminds ua. physiologists bare of
lute years discovered a nerve or bun-
dle of nerves which might well be de-
scribed as tho thread of lift. On of
tbe developing sciences of our Urns Is
cardiography the science of tbe heart
beat. Tbe heart aa most people are
aware la divided Into nnrlcles and
ventricles. The ventricles are the
pumping chambers; the auricles are
tbe collecting chambers of the blood
aud like the stroke of a racing eight
set the rhythm of the heart beat A
little Instrument called the sphygmo-
grnph Is placed on tho wrist pulse am)
magnifies Its movements aud traces
them with a recording pen In a xlgxng
curve telling the observer what tbe ven-
tricles are doing. Another Instrument
tbe polygraph placed on the Jugular
records the ' more delicate vibrations
of the auricle. With the aid of these
two Instruments tho physician can tlnd
what all the four chtimttersof the heart
are doing. Now. tbe aurlculnr con-
traction acts as a stimulant or start-
ing shock to the ventricular contrac-
tion. Most stimuli are conveyed along
c rves. mercrore a nine nerve in
the heart to act aa a telegraph wire
between auricle aud ventricle was to
be expected. Such a thing bus been
found by physiologists; but. rather thnn
a nerve. It Is a specialised sensitive por-
tion of tbe heart muscle Itself. It Is a
! little wisp of tissue not an Inch long
and only one-twelfth of an Inch thick
On this delicate communicating wisp
called the aurlcnlo ventricular bundle
bangs existence Itself. Evolution has
arranged that It shall be so small and
so sheltered In position tn the hen rt that
It Is rarely damaged even by large In
Juries to that organ. But If It Is see-
tred then tbe ventricles must stop and
life must Instantancouslj cease. Lon-

Oyed Articles.
In dyeing at borne amateurs often
make tbe mistake of putting tbe dyed
article through the wringer possibly
to avoid atalntng tbe ban da for one
reason or perhaps hoping to dry the
garment more qnlckly. This however
should never be done for the cresses
so formed are most ohctluate and. In
fact often only disappear with wear
desptts ail pressing. Dyed articles
should be squeexed from the batb and
hung out of doors to dry.
