A Cavity That May Have Been the .. Seat of a Sixth Sense. Despite the progress of physiology th study of the humnn body is full of mystery. K Some of1 Its well known organs have never ' revealed either their uses or the reason of their crea tion The part played by the spleen In human life was- discovered but re cently. It Is now regarded as one of the principal agents In the circulation of the blood. But there are In the marvelous human ; organism mys terious parts which It is possible that no savant, however ' profound his learning, may ever understand. For instance, in the skull, behind the car tilage, of the nose. there is a little cavity of unknown origin. Physiolo gists believe that at one time several thousand generations ago It contained gland consisting of two lobes Joined by their common bnse.;. This cavity the delta turcica-ls. In the. opinion of certain savants, the vestige of a sixth sense which was of great use to the antediluvian ances tors of man. It is believed that this little gland enabled them to see in the darkness when they had not yet learn ed the secret of procuring light; that It was the seat' of the mysterious sense of situation or locality, the pow er to orient their course, the sense so highly developed to this day In sav ages and certain animals. The theory Is plausible, but it is, doubtful whether man wui ever acquire any real knowl edge of the reason for the existence of the delta turcica. Exchange. WOOL, SILK AND LINEN.

Homes of the African Grosbeaks , Big as a Native's Hut.. : The biggest bird's nest in the world, not excepting the stork's, Is built by the African grosbeak. It is really 100 nests or more bound together with closely Interwoven sticks, vines and strands of coarse grass and is not built by a single pair of birds, but by a colony of them. It Is of such enor mous size that at a little distance It la often mistaken for one of .the native huts built in the trees so frequently found in wild tropical countries where man eating animals abound,: and the only way to sleep In safety is to "roost. high." - . " , ' : . The birds usually select a thorn tree, probably because of the protection af forded by. the sharp, long thorns against marauders. All around the nest the roof of sticks, thatched with dry grass, projects to iet the rain run off. A deep fringe of grass hangs from this cornice like a curtain o keep out any stray drops. ..These great nests are added to from year to year, each pair of mated birds building on the main nest Sometimes the nest ' be comes too heavy, and the branch breaks or the great mass of sticks falls to the ground, destroyed by its own weight' The grosbeak Is no larger !'! danr.

A newspaper man of Washington was approached one morning by a friend who wanted to borrow $5. The-f newspaper man. assuming an expres sion of great sorrow, pulled 20 cents out of his pocket and remarked: "I'm sorry, old man. but you've struck me just before pay day, and I'm broke." Ilaving made this crafty excuse, he, mentally' speaking, pinned a gold medal, on himself for having evaded the prospective borrower.: , "When Is your pay day?" asked the friend. .. "Tomorrow afternoon,'! replied the newspaper man. , "All right." said the friend. "Ill come around then." And he did. Popular Magazine.
