French Oceanograph Society Starts Fight on Enemies of the Fishermen. A campaign against the beluga or white whale was recently started from Douarnenez to Concnrneau, in Brlttnlny. by the French Oceanograph society. in which nets and poison tubes were used. The beluga, pest of the fishermen. Is generally cream white in color, feeds mainly on marine fish and commits ravages among the shoals. The average length of the adult male Is about 18 or 20 feet. To hunt down the white whale a net 1,100 yards long was set up at Douarnenez. while another was placed in a suitable position by the fishermen at Concnrneau. Furthermore, the skippers of the sardine boats used 4,000 Yves deluge poison tubes against the belugas.—Indianapolis News.

Movementa of the Head Date Back To Primitive Ancestor*. Nodding the head to indicate “yes” 1 and shaking it to indicate "no’’ are I habits that are almoat universal in j the human family. Did you ever notice that when you nod “yes" you are inI dined to open your lips, and when | you shake your head to express "no'' you naturally close your lips firml) and your teeth set closely together? ; Watch yourself and others in using this sign language and see if this is not time. Wo are told that this nodding and shaking of the head date back to a very early period in the history of the race. They have been Inherited from our primitive ancestors who lived in trees and caves neighbors to the lower animals, only a little more wild and savage than themselves The affirmative nod is traced to the • practice of the young in those far-off days when the mother brought them food. If they were hungry their mouths would fly open with a quick • thrust of the head—Just as you have seen in the case of the young of rob- . ins and other birds. This signified ' acceptance of the food—answered "yes” to the question implied by the mother when she held the morsel temptingly before them. | If it happened that the babies were not hungry—which was comparatively rare, we surmise—they kept their mouths closed when the food was offered them an^l to avoid having it thrust willy-nilly Into their mouths turned their heads from side to side This, say those who have inquired into the matter, was the origin of shaking the head, with the teeth and lips close together, to express negation.

Pray for Tenant. Prayers for the "softening of an extortionate landlord's heart” were offered np the other day it the Episcopal healing mission at Christ Church cathedral. The request for the prayers came from a woman, and it was read aloud to about :t00 persons who had gathered for the healing, which was under the direction of Rev. Rufus D. S. Pitney. At the conclusion of the rending of the letter, time was allowed for silent prayer for the woman with a nard-henrted landlord. In the letter the woman said her rent hnd been advanced and she was about to be evicted because she could not afford to pay the advance. “Pray that my landlord's heart may he softt nod.” she wrote.—St. Louis Post Dispatch.

JUNGLE ORCHIDS.

Rubbing It In. Sternly the prosecuting counsel cross examined the witness for the defense. At last the latter got so confused that Instead of replying audibly to one question he nodded his head. Whereupon the counsel demanded I | sternly: “Why don't you answer the quesI tlon?” "I did answer It.*' the witness replied, “l nodded my head." “Yes,” was the retort. “I heard It rattle, hut could not tell whether It was up or down or from side to side."

Orchid of Venezuela Causes Death or Narcotic Sleep. The best place to get orchids for experiments in cross-fertilization is South America. They have reached highest development here. The '«rest, most wonderful flowers In the South American Jungles. To the hill-forests of Colombia you must go for the Oodontoglossutn. In the jungles of Ecuador there are trees which are enveloped with orchid blossoms. These orchids—from the old Spanish Main—are gorgeous and splendid, like the lustful dreams of the conquistadores. Did you ever see a red like that? Bee, frog, lizard, butterfly, orchids. Notice, If you will, that they do not in the least resemble a flower. There are orchids that give off per fume only at certain hours, and different perfume on different days. And sometimes, they imitate scents o! other flowers, just as mocking birds Imitate bird voices. Did you ever hear of the death orchid of Venezuela? Not many white men have heard of it. And Co-one has seen it. Its perfume causes either death or a narcotic sleep—to the Indians—from which they never wake In their right mind. No one has gathered it. It might not have the same effect bn a white man. you see. Now, there's your chance. Go! Find out— Edna Worthley Undewood, in Asia.

Rapidly Rising Air Currents Jolt the Airplane. | The experiences of aviators with winds that blow up and down instead of parallel with the ground are summed up in an article in the Missouri “Weather Review.” "The disturbances of the air due to daytime convection are one of the prime sources of bumpiness.” says the article. "Especially on hot summer days do strong, rapidly rising currents of air penetrate fh great altitudes and where encounteifid. jolt the airplane. Where the cooler nlr is descending the eff- i t Is similar to Hint of falling into a 'bole.’ The height to which the effects of surface roughness extend wTien the wind Is blowing depends upon the speed of the surface wind and the height of the obstruction. “In the air aviators’ observations show how trie layers of air flow over one another, the interbice sometimes being marked by clouds and some times entirely Invisible. At such levels are encountered billows or waves. I and considerable difficulty is somc- ! times experienc, d in flying.” Tliere are some people so constiI tuted that they never are so happy ! as when miserable- never so content- ! ed as when they are martyrs. Of tills element, are the women whose chief enjoyment lies In making them ridiculous and more or less a public nuisance by "picketing.” They labor un d°r the mistaken notion that by parading the streets and blocking sidewalks, while carrying silly and abusive banners, they contribute to the success of the cause they represent. I The more ridiculous and unwomanly they make themselves in carrying on I this silly propaganda the happier they are, and their delight reaches perfection if only they can be arrested and have the chance to "starve” themselves in jaiL—Utica Globe.
