from marrying a beautiful woman or
from mixing In the best court society
of the Georgian period. He was very
amiably received at Carlton House by
George IV. a few weeks before that
monarch's coronation. So struck wan
the king by this dwarfs physical grace
and mental accomplishments that he
remarked to Charles Mathews who

a dozen sons I could not wish them a
more- perfect model of elegance than
the count."
Bornwlaski's last days were spent in
peaceful retirement In the city of Dur-
ham. He tells us that In spite of the
theory that dwarfs grow all their life
he never added a quarter of an Inch
to his three feet three Inches. When a

The Spiral That Connects trie arth
With the Clouds.
While In Iansas a few years ago I
bad's very clear view of a tornado. It
was about ten miles distant passing
swiftly over the prairie. It presented
the appearance of a long rope about
two feet In diameter. It extended
from a dark irregularly shaped cloud
iu the earth and was slightly curved
It sRS of nearly uniform thickness
andleaned about thirty-five degrees
f ro& a perpendicular toward the cloud.
& line drawn from where I stood to
the f loud would have made an angle of
about forty degrees with the earth's
surface After this ropelike projection
iiau parted I noticed in the Irregular
cloud a perfectly shaped spiral of sil-
ver whiteness. It was shaped like a
great auger and extended from the
jK)lnt where the funnel or rope had
been connected with the cloud forward
in the direction the cloud was moving.
All around It was in wild commotion
but the spiral itself seemed to stand
like a great white ribbon colled auger
shape and fixed secure. This spiral at
the time I caught sight of it was lying
In a nearly horizontal position the for-
ward end being only slightly elevated.
I have never met any one who has
seen this spiral In the tornado cloud
but by one who came dangerously near
belxg caught by a passing tornado I
was told that the center of the whirl-
ing f'innel was .as white a&mllk. From
his statement
wpli my own-
taken in connection
observations I have
formed the opiate" tnat tnp center of
all trnadoes is a perfectly shaped elec-

NOTRE DAME OF REIMS.
No Cathedral In France Its Equal In
Wealth or Ornament.
The place where It (Reims cathe-
dral) stands is far too closely shut in
by small and insignificant houses. But
the strongest light the meanest sur-
roundings could not lessen the marvel
of so marvelous a church and mag-
nificent is the word that occurs to one
on the threshold as to Arthur Young
on the distant hilltop. There is no ca-
thedral in France that can equal It in
wealth In extravagance in gorgeode-
ness of ornament The facade of Notre
Dame of Paris while something like it
in general design Is of Puritan sim-
plicity beside the facade of Notre
Dame of Belms. No other west doors
are more deeply recessed more richly
charged with sculpture row upon row
tier upon tier some statues being as
unexpectedly- Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on so large and imposing a scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward in such high acute angles. No
other show such an entanglement of
Igureg and traceries. And the great
tall windows above and the rose le-
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery of kings
the statues stand under carven cano-
pies intricate delicate lacelike in their
elaboration. The tall central gable
fretted and flamboyant reaches up still
higher and on each side of it the tow-
ers with the long lines of their arches
and windows seem bent on carrying
the glory of it all to the very heights
of heaven.
Nor were architect and sculptor loss
lavish when they turned from the west
front Everywhere It is the same." The
buttresses stand firm a mars of ar-
cades niches sheltering wide winced
angels and tall pinnacles or they go
Hying across aisles In as light graceful
aid ornate a flight as If beauty were
its only object. They are the most
beautiful buttresses In France Fergus-
ton says; the grandest pinnacles Mr.
Moore declares and both are right.
The transepts are only new spaces for
new ornament; the apse Is only a new
motive for the new arrangement of
buttresses and pinnacles. The gar-
goyles somehow seem more mon-
strous than those that look down from
other cathedral walls and around the
top of the apse perched on a high bal-
ustrade are grotesques owls iner-
uaids. gritSns. unicorns strange be
ings ihat come of the same family as j
the devUc of Notre Dame In Paris only I
the grotesQ"s of Reims are where !
they can be seen from below where
they serve in the decorative scheme
breaking the horizontal lines of the bal-
ustrade with the effect of stlU another
row of pinnacles. I have wandered for
days about the cathedral without com-
ing to tbe end of Its Inexhaustible de-
tail. It is almost incredible that one
church could be so covered with orna-j
ment. that its walls could lear upon i.
their surface such a rhythmical con-j
fusion of sculptured stoue. Elizabeth

The Warmth of a Snow House.
Usually our snow Igloos allowed each
man from eighteen to twenty inches
space in which to lie down and just
room enough to stretch his legs well.
With our sleeping bags they were en-
tirely comfortable no matter what the
weather outside. The snow is porous
enough to admit of air circulation but
even a gale of wind without would not
affect the temperature within. It is
claimed by the natives that when the
wind blows a snow house ls warmer i
than in a period of still cold. I could j
see no difference. A new snow igloo j
ls. however more comfortable than one
that has been used. for newly cut
snow blocks are more porous. In- one
that has beeu used there is always uj
crnst of Ice on the interior which 'pre
vents a proper circulation of air. Dil-

WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After a Peppermint Drop.
"Water Is the finest drink In the
world" said the epicure in little
things "but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out of
drinking it
"For instance water should never be
drunk immediately after an apple has
been eaten for as a beverage it then
has a taste more flat and insipid than'
as If it bad been taken from a cold
teakettle.
"On the other hand there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing (not counting
actual thirst) than to eat a peppermfnt
drop before taking a drink of it
"And while peppermint stands at the
head a drink of water la particularly
and noticeably good after any wafer
or lozenge. Popcorn on the other
band takes all' the animation out of a
subsequent swallow of water.
"Nor do bread and water go well to-
gether. The water takes the sweetness
out of the bread and the bread takes
the liveliness out of the water and
makes it flat beyond degree.
"The tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as a prison fare of pnnlsh
ment knew his business.
"The enjoyment of a drink of water
varies too with what you drink It
from. You would not offer to a sick
person a drink of water In a cup. but
rather in a glass the thinner the bet-
ter. The fact that the water itself in
all its limpid clearness is present to
the sense of sight stimulates an expec-
tation that Is gratified along with the
sense of taste.
"I have frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water and It appears to be m
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some sec-
onds before swallowing It often hold-
ing it on a level with their eyes In
order to see It as clearly as possible.
"Surely this lesson should not.be lost
upon the mau'who knows that there Is
no drink like wafer. While you are
drinking It enjoy It
"For my own part. I like water from
a big tin dipper even better than from
a thin tumbler but best of all drluk-
ing dishes for mo Is a newly made
birch bark dipper all the better If 1
have made it myself.
"Pip a fi'll cNpper from the. center
of the bubbling spring take a look to
see how limpid it Ls against the clean
yellow freshness of the dripping dip
per put ynur lips to the water itself
and then take one of the sweetest gifts
the gods provide." Brooklyn Citizen.

CITRIC ACID.
1'he Way the Secret of Its Manufac-
ture Was Stolen.
The proprietor of an old chemist's
shop close by Temple Bar in days
gone by enjoyed the monopoly of mak-
ing citric acid. More favorably cir-
cumstanced than other secret manufac-
turers his was a process that required
no assistance. He employed no work"
men. Experts came to sample and as-
sort and' bottle his products but they
never entered the laboratory. The
mystic operations by which he grew
rich were confined to himself. One
day having locked the doors and
drawn the window blinds as usual
sure of the safety of his secret tha
chemist went home to his' dinner. A
chimney sweep or a boy disguised as
such wide awake In chemistry was on
the- watch and followed the secret
keeper to Charing Cross and sure that
he would not return that day the sooty
philosopher hied rapidly back to Tern
pie Bar ascended the low building
dropped down the flue saw all he
wanted to and returned carrying with
him the mystery of making citric acid.
The monopoly of the Inventor was
gone a few months after and the price
was reduced by four-fifths. The poor
man was heartbroken and died shortly
afterward ignorant of the trick by
which he had been victimized. London

heave and tug sometimes for hours.
Then all at once the apparently solid
surface begins to creak and settle. The
men zigzag rapidly to shore. A crash
and spout of waters mark where the
first tier is already toppling into the
current. The front melts like sugar.
A vast formidable movement agitates

Many Delusions Intimately Related to
This Unfamiliar Law.
There are two kinds of light wavefl
emitted from all objects color and
! white waves. Whenever a source of
light as the sun strikes an object part
of that light is absorbed and part re-
flectedthrown back. The latter rep-
resents Riich objeet's "luminosity."
The color blind are never blind to this
4form of light A mirror reflects al-
most all the light that falls upon it
Polished silver reflects 02 per cent of
perpendicular rays. Broken surfaces'
split up such light and so appear dark.
The more luminous an object the more
intense Is its effect upon the retina
just as two horns affect the ear more
keenly than one. The more intense
or stimulating a light the rqui(fkeris
the retina exhausted. It becomes tem-
porarily paralyzed in the cones of sucli
a color. Look at the sun then look
away and you will still see the sun
; but Its' color appears a pale blue which
is the farthest contrast to the yellow-
r orange of the sun. It is the comple-
; mentary color. The light of the sun Is
! bo Intense that It quickly exhausts the
' yellow-orange cones leaving those far-;
thest from it (blue the "complemen-
tary" of yellow) least exhausted; hence
this after-image of the sun looks blue
actually a pale greenish blue.

DOPING A RACE HORSE.
The Way the Potent Drug Affects the
Unfortunate Anirna!.
"No oue is likely to be caught in the
act of doping a horse" said a promi-
nent veterinarian the other day "be-
cause the dose given ls so small that It
can be administered under the very
eyes of the o'tficlals with little if any
danger of detection and besides it is
given so long before the race that the
horses are not then likely to be under
surveillance. If a horse is to. race at
3 o'clock he gets a. two grain powder
ou his tongue. in a darkened stall at 1
o'clock. The drug takes effect in about
thirty minutes and the. animal breaks
out into a sweat. Ile is rubbed down
cooled out and done up as if he had
come in from morning work. Every
effort is made to keep fit in quiet uutil
post time but he very often breaks out
again and is again cooled out. The
doped- hilrse never takes any warming
hp work and this fact affords the best
means I know of for finding him out.
He is .moved slowly to the starting
point great care being taken to pre-
vent him from becoming excited until
the.. Hag i dropped. Then a kick and
a dig do the work and in an instant
the full force of the. dope is felt stimu-
lating t.he.aniinat to run the race of his
life.
"After the race an antidote Is usual-
ly given but It Is sometimes well along
in tiie night before the excited horse
regains his normal condition. The
strain on the nervous system is terrific.
For this reason dope horses have short
careers as a rule and are of little
value for breeding pin-poses." Kansas

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Horace Walpcle'a Prophecy That May

today. Tbe Frenchman Jean Pierre
Blancbard had Just made his first ac-
cent from Farla in a balloon filled TffUk
hydrogen. He look with him wla
and a rudder apparently proposing to
fly but found them useless. Later
Blancbard crossed the channel In hie
jflerlal machine. Horace Walpole cota-
ments on the doings of the "airj-
nantfi" as he calls them. "You ses."
he writes "the nlrgonauts have passed
the Itublcou. By their own accomit
they were exactly birds. They flew
through the air perched on the top at
a tree; some passengers climbed np
and took them in their pest" After
seelng a balloon descending Walpote-
amuses himself by meditating on U
future of what he calls "rtlrRonationJ"'
He sees the art of flying perfected aa
deposing that of navigation. FlourisHi-
Ing seaports become '"deserted vil-
lages" while Salisbury plain Newmar-
