TTTTTT TTTTTTTT V TTTTTTTTV SHOOTING A DEER. Th Tropical Poisdned Arrow Sent Him to Sleep and Death. Hunting with poison, ns practiced by the natives of Brazil and other tropi cal American countries, is thus de scribed In a communication to the Na tional Geographic Koclety, at Washing ton, by Dewey Austin Cobb: "In hunting, the arrows, which are dipped In poison, consist of a point of wood or bone, not more than an inch long and the size of a toothpick, to which is attached a little tuft or balry fiber of the silk cottoti tree. The gun Is a straight bamboo tube from five to six feet long, with a sight at one end and a funnel shaped expansion to fit the mouth at the other The prin ciple Is precisely the same as the schoolboy's tube for blowing putty balls, and the accuracy of tbe natives Is wonderful." Mr. Cobb gives the following descrip tion of tbe shooting of a deer: A good sized buck walked out of the corn and stopped, exposing to ns Its full broadside as we lay some thirty feet away. Onr hunter fired Tbe animal gave a slight start as be felt the prick of the arrow on his flank nud turned partly around, sniff lug tbe air for a scent and looking around as If searching for the Insect tbat bad bitten blm. Detecting noth ing, be stood still and una la nurd. At tbe end of a minute or bo bis head dropped a little, as if be was sleepy The hunter stepped ont In plain sight Tbe deer looked at blm and moved forward, not away from blm, a few steps and stopped. He showed no fenr. but simply curiosity. My companion and I rose, and the three of ns walked quietly within reach of hlra. lie made no movement to run away, but watched ns Intently and shifted his position a little. His movements seemed perfectly easy and natural Absence of fear seemed tbe only observahle change until at tbe end of three minutes or more; then he lay down, not tailing, but as naturally as cow or sheep when ready for sleep. Ills breathing seemed easy and natural. At the end of ten minutes, though he opened bis eyes when touch ed. his breath became shorter and slower. Elchteen minutes after he was struck by the arrow he was dead." ACOUSTIC CLOUDS. Why Church Belle Sound Louder on Soma Day Than on Others. Every one has noticed that on certain days cburcb bells are beard much bet ter tban on others and sometimes are oot heard at all on other days. The same distance Intervenes between tbe church and the person's residence, the same inteuslty Is use to strike the bell, tbe same visible obstacles are be tween tbe two at one time as at an other. Then why does tbe Intensity of the peal vary? It lias been found that there are what is known as "acoustic clouds" In the air. They cannot be seen, but they may be detected artifi cially. Tbey have the property of re flecting sound Just as a brick wall has. So If a thick oue of these so called "clouds" intervenes between the church bell and tbe observer most of the Bound Is reflected back to the bell, and very little gets through. The acoustic clouds consist simply of a large quantity of water vapor in tbe air, and water va por Itself is Invisible. So we are able to see through something that we can not bear through. Generally, of course. It is tbe other way round. We can bear through a piece of black paper, but we cannot see through it Mow, if tbese acoustic clouds are dis posed In a certain manner it I possible tbat tbey will reflect the sound Into a region where tbe bell's tone is ordina rily not beard at all save when the clouds are present and disposed In the pruier manner.

And Thus the Rodsnts Are a Help to the Ivory Workers. There is a curious but little known fact that well illustrates the ravages that rats can Id 11 let on the hardest sub Btances with their sharp little teeth. Many of the elephants' tusks import ed into Loudon for the use of Ivory oruameut makers have their surfaces grooved into small furrows of unequal depth, as if cut by a very sharp edged Instrument Surely no man can have taken the trouble to do tbat. for what would be the profit of bis labor? Tbe rata are at tbe bottom of tbe mischief. They have found out tbe tusks tbat contain the most gelatin or animal glue, a sweet and delicious morsel for the rat's dainty palate, and having gnawed away as much as suit ed their purpose, have left the rest for the ivory cutter. lie. for bis part, is able and willing to profit by tbe fact that the rats bnve made clear. Tbe Ivory that contains a large amount of gelatin Is softer and more elastic than that which does not, and as elasticity Is the thing most needed for billiard balls the Ivory worker chooses this rat marked ivory and tnrns it into beautiful, elastic billiard balls. Tbe elasticity of some of the balls Is so great tbat if thrown down forcibly on a hard pavement they will rebound into tbe band to tbe height of three or four feet Exchange. WHERE-RAIN IS A NOVELTY. Think of Having a Shower Only Once In Twenty-tour Years! The Chilean provinces ot Atacama. Tarapaca and Tacna are In tbe rain less region, or desert country west of the Andes, and are entirely devoid of vegetation. The winds in all of tbls region are from the east und in passing over the elevated perpetual snows of the Andes are stripped of their mols ure and arrive ou the coast perfectly dry. The last rain, n slight shower which fell in Antofugasta, lu Atacama pro vince, was tbe first rain which bad fallen in sixteen years. Tbe last rain which fell in Iqulque, In Tarapaca province, was the first in twenty-four years. With both of tbese showers a notable phenomenon occurred. The bare hills back ot these cities assumed a green tint from a little plant which sprang up almost in a night The query Is, "From where did this plant come?" The whole of tbe coast presents a most dismal nud discouraging appear ance from the sea, but the climate is healthy, being especially adapted to pulmonary and throat troubles from its extreme dryness aud freedom from germs. The beat Is tnodlled by a local sea breeze, and the seu bathing is most invigorating, us the water is cold. No Tip For Him. Tipping is at least uu ancient custom. In the eighteenth century an Italian visitor to England remarked that "it Is polite to dine with tbe nobility, where you pay tbe servants fur ten times as much as you eat" And an Irish peer replied to tbe Duke of Or tnonde's Invitation to dine: "IT your grace will give me a guinea to pay your servants. I will. I am too poor, elueP An American actor who ouce took an English bouse for tbe summer bad a schedule of the tips bis servants expected printed for the guidance of his American friends and put them on tbe bedroom mantelpieces, lie bad taken a particular dislike to a very British side whiskered butler he bad taken over with the bouse, and the list after enumerating the sums to be paid to the chauffeur, the housemaid, and so on. finished with, "The guy with tbe black whiskers you will meet lu the front hull-not a cent" Argo naut Still Observe DruiO Festival. The old midsummer tire festival of rtruKlleal origin Is still celebrated on the continent, but there Is probably only one spot In Great Britain where it Is still observed, and tbat Is Tarlwlton, In Ayrshire. For days before the fes tival tbe village lads collect materials for the great boutlre. Tbe fuel is built upon an altar of turf, und a match is applied at sunset, after wblcb tbe folk solemnly march arutiod the blaze, and the daring youngsters vie with one an other in dusbiug tbrougb the flames.
