Camels are very sensitive to moisture, lu the region of tropical rains they are usually absent, and if they come Into such with caravans tbe results of the rainy season are greatly feared. Tbe great humidity of the air 1 explains the absence of tbe camel .from the northern slopes of the Atlas and from well wooded Abyssinia. This sensitiveness expresses Itself in the character of different races. The finest most noble looking camels, wltb short Bilk-like hair, are fouud in the interior of deserts, as iu the Taureg resloa to north Africa, and tbey cannot be used for Journeys to moist regions. Even in Feaaan. south of Tripoli, tbe aolmala are shorter and fatter, with long coarse hair, and in Nile lands and on. coasts Jt. is the same. These animals, too. are less serviceable as regards speed and endurance. The Eyes ef the Musk Ox. Tbe skull of the bull musk ox la remarkable for tbe development of tbe eye orbits, which project sufficiently beyond the plane of the frontal bones to compensate for the interruption the horns would otherwise make In the range of vision. Tbe musk ox. however, doe not seem to rely greatly on keenness of sight, far leas on acute, ness of hearing, for the ears are of small dimensions and are completely covered by tbe heavy growth ef fur about them. Tbe organs of cent are evidently more Jtighly developed. - and tHyxact of ttt boater Wt greatest

Curious Instruments That Were Used In the Middle Ages, In an old tower in Nuremburg there la a room set apart especially for tbe preservation of thea curious InstrU' menta of torture need during the: an certain period historically referred to as the middle ages. In that room you can see thumbscrews of the most approved pattern closely arranged along shelves filled with 'ilar helmets" and "bridles" for gossiping women. One horrid relic, called the "spike wheel." is a heavy cylinder on one side of which stand out two or more score of sharp iron spike. Is days of old when an offender had been sentenced to undergo a "rolling" be was stripped naked, and firmly bound on a plank, face down. In this position tbe "spike wheel" was slowly dragged up and down bis back, the u umber of times depending upon the gravity of the crime and tbe word' ing of tbe sentence. In several Instances tbe poor victims were prodded so full of boles that tbey died before tbey could be removed from the plaek, When death was Intended tbe number of "rolls'' was not specified, but double length spikes, heated red hot were put in the surface of tbe cylinder. Tbla mode of carrying out capital pu'nisbinent was hardly as expeditious as tbe guillotine, but it was equally certain. . GIANT BUTTERFLIES. Have a Wing Spread Greater Than That ef Many Small Birds. The largest butterfly known to naturalists la found only in British New Guinea, and specimens are worth anything from $100 upward. Tbe male measures eight inches across tbe wings and tbe female not less than eleven tncbes, a wtog spread exceeding that of many small birds. The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is a curious one. says the Wide World Magazine. A naturalist saw a specimen perched on tbe top of a tree and. failing to captore it by any other means, finally shot It From tbe fragments be decided that the specie was entirely unknown to science, and he forthwith fitted et an expedition at a cost of many thou sands of dollars teo in search of the magnificent Insect. Two members of the party fell -victims to tbe Papuan cannibal and another was rescued only in tbe nick of time, In . spits of this loavspteloos conwencesnent to his enterprise, however, the naturalist persevered sad oitmuteiy toocssdod ta ebtalmrag a

Richmond, Ind. 20-lmo RESTAURANT The beet meals are gotten at Profit's. 14 S, Sight stnt In tbe recent oleomargarine neanng before tbe agricultural committee of the house of representatives at Washington it developed that practically 80 per cent of the oleo as It goes to the consumer is artificially colored to look like yellow butter, yet only 3 per cent of all tbe oleomargarine thus sold paye the ten eent tax. The Grout law, at present in force, provides that all oleomargarine artificially colored to look like butter shall pay the ten eent tax, yet from the above figures it appears that about 77 per cent of the colored article pays no tax at all. which would seem to show that while the present law ought not to be repealed for the sake of the beef tallow and cottonseed oil producers. It ought to be patched np to protect the dairymen and ultimate consumer, That a federal pore seed law should be enacted to buttress the laws at present operative in some of the states has recently been emphasised by some seed investigations wbieh have been conducted by tbe Indiana experiment station. In sample of alfalfa seed collected in eeveral counties thirty differ ent kinds of weed seeds were found. In the seeding of one acre of ground, at the rate of sixteen pounds per acre it waa found that only tbe three purest samples of seed would deposit less tban 10.000 weed seeds, while tbe worst would put into tbe soil as high as 175,680 seeds per acre. It is high time that the tillers of the soli were uniting in a demand for a national pure seed lsw which will free them from this sort of fraud and outrage, and one of these days aosae farseetng legislator will Insure for himself a large plaee In the agricultural history of tbe country by leading the campaign for tbe enactment ef Just such a law. Of course unprincipled seed houses will have their . lobbyist at Washington wben tbe time comes, but tbey will only be able to btoek proceedings for a littl wh!U NEW CANCELLING MACHINE A new automatic cancelling machine soon will be placed In the postoffice to take the place of tbe antquaia4 electric device now in operation.

A FEAT OFCOHJURIUG. The Popular Coffee Trick and How It Is Performed.

METHODS OF THEChanging White Paper Into Milk. Blue Paper Inte Meha and Bran lute Cut Sugar I Ceiwperativeiy Easy When Ye Have Been Shewn the Way, A trick always popular wltb tbe pro fessigoal conjurer la tbat known a the "coffee trick." thougb some hlgh falutln title,- as, for instance, wMar about Mocha," is better for a pre gram. It has tbe advantage, too, of pot conveying any idea of what ther trick is to be. The trick is as suits ble for the drawing room as for the -stage, and an amateur with a little : practice may do it easily. Remember, With little practice, for, like every, thing in conjuring, not only a little but sometimes a great deal of practice is necessary If the performer desires to do his tricks wit& ease and skill and so as to bewilder bis audience. When about to present this trick the performer baa on a table three wooden boxes, a large goblet shaped glass Jar and two German silver "shakere" or cups, such as are used In mixing lemon Juice, lee, etc., for a glaaa of lem- -onade. In one of the boxes I a quantity , of . bran, in another some pieces of chopped up white paper and In tbe third a similar lot of blue paper. These, with two pieces of black velvet, each about nine inches square, and a paper cylinder, are all that "appear to be used in tbe trick. Picking up one shaker, the performer fills it with white paper aud immediately pours. It back into the box. Again be dipa the shaker Into the box and, with a shoveling motion, fills it and stands it on a table so that every one may see it The other shaker he fills in the same way, but -with tbe blue pa-" per. Finally the glass Jar la filled with bran and stood on a table by Itself, Over one shaker ta spread, one of the velvet squares and on top1 of it is placed a small, round metal plate. The other shaker is Covered with the second velvet square, but without any metal plate. "tbla cup la filled with wblto paper and tbat one with blue," and, pulling the velvet piece off one cup, he pours ' from it into a small pitcher about a ' pint of milk "The . milk of human kindness as extracted from the dally press." Removing th metal plat and : tbe velvet from the second cup, bo pours from it into the first cup 'steaming Mocha - coffee; no grounds f fot complaint" Picking up the paper cyl-, inder, be drops It over tbe upper part of the glass Jar, and, lifting it up almost immediately, It Is found that the bran is gone and th Jar la filled wltb, lump sugar. It la a showy trick which is generally followed by applause, tbat sweetest of music to a performer. Hera is tbe explanation; . : In each' box of paper is a duplicate shaker, one filled: with milk, tbe other with coffee.1 Fitted Into the mouth of each shaker Is a shallow metal saucer, the edge flaring out so as to rest on th mouth of th cup-, At one point on the edge of each saucer Is soldered a semicircle of stiff wire about the size of a dime, so tbat tbe performer may easily grasp it. On sacb saucer is glued soma bits of tbe paper with which the shsber Is supposed to be filled. .These shakers stand upright in the box in such position that the wire piece of the ssucer will be toward the performer when be Is ready to remove tbe velvet cover, i Aa be shovels the paper Into tbe shaker be leaves that one In tbe box, grasps the other filled with milk or coffee and brings it out soma of the loose bits of paper cling Ing round the top. These he brushes off carelessly snd la doing eo, when necessary, adjusta tbe shaker, so that the wire finger piee will be in the proper position. In covering th shak - ' . M .1.. ers tne penormcr tassw don to wvelvet covers so that the thumb and the third and fourth fingers are under the cover, and with these he catches bold of tbe projecting finger piece, lifts up tbe saucers and draw them off, dropping them instantly Into a padof the table. 1 ' As a glass jar is transparent, it fot' lows tbat a mere saucer of bran to lta mouth would not do, so resort is bad to another device. A hollow shape of tin, slightly tapering, that fits loosely lu the Jar Is used- The larger end. which I the top. is closed whUo tbe bottom is open-. From tbe top Is a fine stiff wire passing from one aide to the other. It describes a small bow that serves as a handle to lift out the shape. Bran is glued over the outsUe of tbe shape, and some loose bran la spread over the top. The shspo ' la filled with lump sugar, placed Inside a second Jar snd stood inside tbe box of bran.
