at the museum in the construction of

manikins.

The collection, says the National Tribune, includes a number of heads which have an interesting history. From one of the shelves there looks down a plaster mask of the late Joseph Francis. It is in one of the less-fre-quented corners, and attracts no attention from the thousands of visitors who pass through the building weekly. He was the inventor of lifeboats, and the museum lias several valuable specimens of his invention. He was a friend of the museum, and the mask was taken only a short while before lie died. The eyes are closed, and, just as in a deatl: mask, there is a lack of expression. A companion mask near that of Mr. Francis is one from (ion. Greely, the present head of the signal corps, distinguished for his travels in the far north. The reproduction of the feat tires is well-nigh perfect, except for a slight distortion of the muscles, caused by the pulling down of the plaster. The mask is of the entire head, except the lower part, which is omitted, that the mask may be taken off entire. These masks were made by Theodore A. Mills, the sculptor, who has done considerable creditable work of this kind at the museum. He makes them very quickly, each occupying only about fifteen

minutes.

One advantage in leaving off the lower part of,the face is that it allows the person to breathe freely, and this part can be added afterward without difliculty. Most sculptors, however, spread tl»e plaster down over the lower part of the face, and insert straws in the nostrils to allow the subject to breathe. These masks, taken while the subject is in excellent health, are the best means known for preserving the features. Death masks are usually unsatisfactory, because the face is then usually emaciated and the eyes sunken. The expression then is far from satisfactory. Life would also be of great assistance to sculptors in molding busts and statues. People visiting the museum sometimes marvel at the life-like proportions of the many lay iigures which adorn the different collections. The scientists have acquired a great proficiency in this kind of work, and it is not far from the truth to say that a close inspection of the delicately-formed hands and feet, as well as arms and lower limbs, would show intimate friends that prominent people in Washington have been utilized to grace the collections of Indian peoples, wild tribes of Borneo, and other races. That has come to be one of the penalties of being a sculptor's friend, for he will insist upon casts with which to frame his manikins. The different parts of the body of a man or a woman can be taken separately, and then joined together with putty. A very lifelike effect is produced in this way. The only part of the body which cannot be taken in a cast is the abdomen, and this is because the breathing would interfere with the forming of the plaster. The sculptor has to exercise much care in preparing his casts from living subjects. Take the hand ns an example. It lias first to be carefully oiled, that all the hairs may be smoothed down. If this were not done, they would become fastened in the plaster, and the process of taking off the mold would be little short of torture. The molds are cut open and sometimes broken in being taken off, but they can then lie glued together, when plaster is poured in and an exact likeness of the Itand obtained. The oil on the inside of the mold prevents the new plaster from adhering to it. There are several preparations for making casts, some of which are flexible. This flexible material was used for making casts of snakes, of which the museum has a large and extensive collection. For the dark or red-skinned races the casts arc easily tinted or painted to represent the desired color. The collection of dolls at the museum is the largest in the world. Some of the Esquimau dolls are probably the most valuable, and they certainly are instructive. Among these is a trick doll with a string attachment to move its head from one side to the other. One of these dolls is from Point Harrow, Alaska, and it is fashioned from driftwood which the natives of that region picked tip on the beach. The dress of the doll is made of seal gut. Some of the dolls are made out of ivory, whole Esquimau families interesting themselves during the long northern nights in doll manufacturing. The collection also includes many dolls of the Zuni Indians, who utilize them to teach their children religion.

'quirk Ketort of a Carpentei*

fell on the graveled walk at the old tramp’s feet, stunned and breathing with difficulty. Something caused the tramp to open his cyea and they lit on the little sparrow. Ho looked at it stupidly for a.minute, then, drawing his hand across hi.i forehead, he leaned over and picked it up tenderly, fie gazed at it in a wondering way and then glanced up at the branches of the tree, where the mother bird fluttered

and chirruped in fright.

He drew the bench a little closer to the tree and climbed upon it. That put him within reach of a lower limb, lie laid the little bird carefully on a forked branch and, with a strength surprising in one so feeble, he drew himself up and sat on the limb. Above him, within reach, lie saw a nest. It was tipped over so that he could see in it two downy bits of birds like the one he had. He gently placed the bird he carried in the nest, let himself down to the ground, drew the bench back to its original place and turned to go just as a “gray coat” called out to him: “Come, now, get on. You’ve been

around here long enough!” A VALUABLE PEB3LE.

The Acritlmital Good fortune of a Hunter in India. Precious stones are still numerous in certain districts of India, and occasionally a fine gem is found by a sportsman or traveler. A young English officer, returning from an unsuccessful hunt on the estate of a petty chief, picked up a stone which lay in his path, and idly threw it against a rock. It broke in a dozen pieces and out fell a brilliant pebble. The Englishman picked it up, looked at it, and was about to throw it away, but changed his mind. “I’ll keep it,” said he, “as a memento of a day’s hunt when I didn’t shoot so much as a rat.” Some days later, in Bombay, while having his watch repaired, he showed the stone to the jeweler, and asked its worth. “I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,” said the jeweler, after a careful examination. Had he offered a shilling he might have been told to take the stone and keep the shilling, but the offer of twenty pounds aroused the officer's suspicions, so ho responded, with a laugh: “I dare say you would give me that and a trifle more, but I'm going to take it to England.” He did so, and sold his “pebble” in London for $13,000. ) A WONDERFUL AUTOMATON.

It Took Ita loreutor Twenty-Seven Years to Hulld It. In the year 1770 the most wonderful automaton that has ever been constructed was exhibited at Exeter exchange, London. This automatic wonder represented a country gentleman’s house, and was of such intricate and elaborate construction that no one disputed the claim of the exhibitor when he declared that he had worked twenty-seven years in perfecting it. It showed the regulation English country house, with parks, gardens, cascades, temples, bridges, etc., besides over one hundred appropriately clad human figures in the gardens, on the bridges, chopping wood, and at various building operations. In the park were several deers moving naturally about and four horses and a coach following the meandering road. Besides tho above the figures of boys were seen fishing from the bridges, while a boat load of ladies and gentlemen regularly rowed across an enlargement in the brook, much to the consternation of the nstural-innk-ing figures of geese and ducks which were paddling about in the water. The whole of these animate and inanimate figures were inclosed in a space only four and a half feet square.

Old-Tlmo Football. Football has never been a very gentle game, to judge from wbnt. 'fast"? Stubbcs says about it in his “Anatomic of Abuses," published in 15S3. For as concerning football playing, I protest unto you it may rather be called a friendly Icindo of fight than a play or recreation; a bloody and murthering practice than a sport or pastime. For dooth not every one lye in waight for his adversarie, seeking to overthrow him and to picko him on his nose, though it be on hard stones, so tiiat by this incancs, sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs, sometimes their legs, sometimes their armos; sometimes one part thrust out of joynt, sometimes another; sometimes the noses gush out with blood, sometimes their eyes start out.

Th» Caynso an a Pest. The Indian cayusc is the worst pest that inflicts this country. The Indian horses spread all over the ranges, and are not confined within the resert atlon limits. It is estimated that fifteen thousand worthless wild ponies range unrestrained ove. the Idiisof this country and devour tne good bunch grass. These onyuses each oat enough good fodder to fatten a four-year-old steer, and one steer is worth more than ten

If we could enact significant air and gave them to his ai>- a law to declare every pony of an asprentice. “John,” lie said, “take these scssod value of less than one dollar a right back to the shop. It seems that public nuisance, it would add materlalthe house isn’t safe!" 1 ly to the prosperity of this country.

There has always been a good deal of discussion whether the North American Indian could be civilized. It was admitted that he could be “converted;" it was demonstrated, in individual eases, that lie could be educated. But could he be civilized? In our observation, the process of civilization is a very slow one in a race. It must pass through a number of long stages of development, and the process cannot be hastened by artificial means. In our dav, writes Charles Dudley Warner in Ilarper'N Magazine, tve haveseen a number of races brought into sudden contact with civilization shrivel and shrink away before it to the point of disappearance. The physical development seemed to be arrested, and the moral nature to be set from a savage non-moral condition into an immoral condition. We have, in our day, a belief in the omnipotent power of education, of the beneficent effect of the hot-house system applied to barbarians, or semi-barbarians. When we come in contact with a race like that in the Sandwich islands, or in Tahiti, or the Africans, we fancy that all we need to do is to teach them our knowledge in order to put them at once in the line of civilized peoples. It seems to us that by this forcing process we can cut short the slow natural phases of development. And we are surprised when the race thus being operated on does not respond to our treatment, but fades away under it. and, in fact, finds civilization fatal to its life. We go upon the assumption that every race is capable of as high a civilization as we have attained, and that it is only a question of means and time — that is, that nature has no failures in its plan, and is not satisfied, in many instances, with a very limited development. The careful and intimate study of tho hairy Ainoo. on the Japanese island of Yezo, made recently by Mr. A. H. Savage Landor—the grandson of Walter Savage Landor—throws some light upon this subject. The Ainoo were once supposed to be the aboriginal Japanese, for they overran the islands; but they are a distinct and, so far as we know, a unique race. They are wholly savages, but gentle savages, like the more amiable of tho wild animals, and as filthy in their habits as animals usually are not. They are ideally near the conception of our supposititious ancestors, whose habits were chiefly arboreal. They are covered with hair like monkeys; but they are distinctly human, and not monkeys. They have no social organization, no laws, no religion, though many of the superstitions which arc common in civilized communities, a meager vocabulary, and no written language. They show susceptibility to kindness, and form attachments as animals do. Here is no case of degeneration. They have never been civilized; they have never been in any higher intellectual or moral condition than they are now, and they never can be civilized. They are in process of slow extinction in contact with the Japanese. There is much evidence to show that here is a race as near primeval conditions as any we have found, who ages ago advanced to a certain stage and there stopped. The advance that they have made is that they wear clothes in the winter weather, that they dwell in huts, that certain communities adhere together, that they intermarry in the community, and that there is a certain sketchy outline of family life. If one could say that they live without crime jt would be because they live without law. The monkey has the advantage of them in having a tail and a mischievous and malignant disposition. But hairy abd savage as the Ainoo is, he is just as far from a monkey as is a Frenchman or a senator of the United States. Even to the capacity of being insane, he is distinctly a human being, and yet apparently the end of a chain of development, incapable of ever going a step further. He seems to have been preceded in Yezo by a race of pit dwellers. savages who lived in pits excavated ia the ground, in the bottom of which fires were built, and which were probably roof:-:! over in inclement weather. These would seem to be a lower order of beings than cave dwellers. Hava we, in them, another race that was only capable of a certain degree of development; and must these perish, without handing anything on or contributing anything to the progress of tho human race? We never can tell. Theyqnaj- have been cut off in their erperlm^rt by too early a contact with a higher grade of development. It is possible that the North American Indian would have grown into civilization in time, if he had not been prematurely discovered, and confronted with our withering influence. It is possible that Africa, which has so many distinct types, might have evolved something worthy in long cycles of time. But we shall never know. In applying our civilization to Africa we probably doom all the tribes. We shall get their lands, and we shall try to speedily educate them out of existence. ProtprUng Til* Chicken*. A Sangerville (Me.) man has baffled the hen hawks, and so far the laugh is all on his side. lie makes a large yard for his chicken coop, putting boards around the sides to prevent escape from the inclosure, and over this he stretches wire netting with coarse meshes. Inside the hen and chickens run at will free from attacks of every sort. A number of times sinc« he made this arrangement his family have been entertained by the antics of the hawks who swoop down upon their supposed prey all unaware of the interposed netting. Fetching up against it lias seemed a great puzzle to to them, for they flutter around on it so greedy for their prey that they can scarcely believe the chicks beyond their reach.

LiZANDS IN A TRANCE. One Medical Authority Hcsard* It a* a Kind of HypnotismAn English scientific journal lias received an interesting communication . on the subject of the so-called “death- i feigning instinct” of certain reptiles, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The correspondent, who writes from Syria, says that when a certain species of Egyptian lizard is captured, it makes a few vigorous efforts to escape, and then, if held firmly, falls into a limp, motionless state, which niiglit easily lead an inexperienced person to think it dead. The animal, however, is simply in a trance-like condition. Gentle respiratory movements are visible just behind the shoulders, and sometimes show a rising and falling rhythm with short intervals of com- 1 plete rest; the eyes remain wide open, but are commonly’ half closed, and the lids wink slowly from time to time spontaneously or by reflex action; the mouth is almost open, sometimes wide, sometimes but little—and in either case the jaw is quite rigid, and if closed by force is apt to reopen when the pressure is withdrawn; the limbs lie extended and semi-flaccid, with some approach to a cataleptic condition, i. e., if bent or stretched into position not too strained, they maintain sucli positions when let go; and the same is true of the trunk and tail. A pin may be run through a fold of the skin, without fully rousing the animal, a sluggish, feeble wriggle being the sole result. The trance usually lasts about five minutes, when the animal by a brusque effort assumes its normal position. This done, it lies quite still, but evidently’ awake and observant for a few moments more, and then scuttles off in a hurry. Dr. Van Dyck looks upon this manifestation not as voluntary or conscious death-feigning, but as a form of hypnotism. The natural enemies of these lizards are foxes, jackals, martens, birds of prey and snakes. “Can anyone believe," asks Dr. Van Dyck, “that any one of these animals, having captured a lizard, would be in the least inclined to let it go because it lay motionless and apparently dead in the captor’s grasp? Or will it be argued that the trance condition is a special gift ‘in mercy to the victim, to mitigate or abolish the pain of death?’"

WHERE BIG GAME IS PLENTY.

How a Hunter Fonnil Himself Face to Face with Two Dig Lion*. In “Lion Hunting in Somaliland,” Capt. C. J. Melliss tells how lie first found himself face to face with two full-grown lions. He started from Berbera for the Hand with ten camels, a dozen Somalis, two donkeys, a pony and two months’ provisions. The game on the route were gazelle, antelopes, guinea fowl and bustards, and at night jackals and hyenas. Shortly after reaching the Hand, which is a great waterless plateau, he met the two lions, “actually waiting for me,” he writes, “all to myself; a vast plain on all sides, clear of jungle as a lawn, not another busli even in sight. “I was going to get them, or they get me. That was tho only’ uncertainty In the whole thing.” He goes on to say that what struck him most forcibly on seeing a wild lion for the first time was that there was none of that slim, weak appearance in the hind quarters which is so visible in caged lions. Capt. Melliss us<^d a much heavier charge than Mr Sejaus, and seems to have had little difij/^ulty in disabling a lion with a wtll-airtied shot. When he had killed thtra.th/e lions were skinned and the hides Vifvd behind two horsemen. He describes vividly his delight after his first day’s shooting. “I shall never forget the pleasure of it," he says. “What a paradise the country seemed as my eyes wandered from the two great beads at the cruppers to the wild herds scattered over the plain.” In four days he shot no less than five lions and eight lionesses and captured four cubs. Capt. Melliss usually rode up and dismounted to shoot, but a much more exciting way, which he occasionally experienced, was to track the lion’s spoor and follow him into the jungle on foot.

What's In a Word? If any of our readers, in looking over articles on electric railway’s In the German language, should come across the word Strassenbahnwagenuntergostelle, says the Electrical World, they need not bo alarmed or discouraged, nor afraid to use it in good society’. Instead of getting at the subject directly, as is doqe in English, this single word relates quite a little story—a sort of riddle of which you arc expected to guess the answer. The story is, briefly, as follows: In about the middle of the word we find that the object referred to has some connection with a car, and, returning to the beginning, it appears that this car is intended to run on rails (as cars usually do. by the way); that these rails are in the streets of a city, and that the ear is supported on some structure; near the end it is explained that this supporting structure is below, and not above, the car, and, finally, it is added that it refers to the apparatus in general, and not to any one form in particular. With the aid of this description it will not be difficult to guess correctly that the German writer would have said trucks instead had he been privileged to use the English language. It seems to us that this verbal machine is somewhat over-compounded. A Great Light house.
