OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Toa 3Iay Have I'lenty of Fnn on the
Train by Thoir Moans.
As flic train proceeds rapidly over
the level desert my eyes fix" i. e.
paze steadily ;it a, clump of sage bush
which is probably two miles distant.
The bush seems to move slowly vith
the train, while objects between it and
my eyes have an apparent motion in
the opposite direction: Of these latter
the near ones lly pass with fjreat rapid
ity, but the r.pparent velocity of those
farther removed diminishes until, just
before the point of fixation is reached,
objects come to an apparent standstill.
Beyond the point fixed by my eyes. ob
jects move in the same direction as the
train, their velocity apparently greater
the farther away they lie.
Suddenly I. shift my paze, writes Dr.
Wood in.thc Popular Science Monthly,
from the sagxj busli to a larjre bowlder
which is sailing- slwwly past, probably
one thousand yards from the train.
Everything1 is changed at once. The
bowlder's retrograde progress is arrest
ed; near objects fly by with accelerated
speed; the sage bush clump forges
ahead as if to make up for 1-ir t time,
while the plain beyond it, indistinct in
the distance, races aliead of every ob
ject in view. And so I while away

ous object after another stand still, go

those seen by indirect vision. i!nt, in

BANANAS ARE USEFUL,1
hey Grow Spontaneous'- ami Contain
All tltu K4cntl4l'-ti Sa;t u:i I.'.ie.
Wild varieties of banana have been
found in Ceylon, Cochin China and the
l'hilipptnes. These, of course, have
seeds, but they are inferior to the long,
cultivated varieties. Thc banana is cul
tivated ly suckers, and'it is in this way
that the plant is perpetuated in
definitely. ,
The banana belongs to the lily fam
ily, and is a developed, tropical lily,
from which', by ages, of cultivation, the
seeds have been eliminated, while the
fruit, for which it has been cultivated,
has greatly expanded. In relation to
the bearing qualities of this fruit, Hum
boldt, who early saw the wonders of
the plant, ' said that the gTOund that
would glow ninety-nine pounds of pota
toes would grow thirty-three pounds of
wheat, but that the same ground would
grow four thousand pounds of bananas.
The banana possesses all the essen
tials to the sustenance of life. Of wheat
alone, or potatoes alone, this cannot be
said. When taken as a steady diet the
banana is cooked baked dry in the
gTecn state, pulped and boiled in water
as a soup or cut in slices and fried.
The leaves of the banana, often sis
feet long and two feet wide, are tender,
according to the Youth's Companion,
and the strong winds of the tropics soon
tear them in strips, thereby adding-to
tlieir grace and, beauty. The banana
is a fruit that beast and bird, as well as
man, are f ond of , and the owner, when
2ie lives in a sparsely-settled country,
must protect his plantation by a fence
of some thorny plant. ,

In times past it was deeimed war

even bread and meat. IJter the
Great of Russia levied a tax on beards,
with the laudable object of making
his subjects wash their, faces and
shave. Brass tokens are still " to he
bought in that country bearing the
words: "Borado pignaia tiagola,"
which means "The beard tax has been
paid." F. G. C. Lundy gives particu
lars in Temple Bar of the British hat
tax of 1784, requiring hatters to take
out licenses and imposing an ad vaj
lorem stamp duty on every hat sold.
In old times, too, the Scotch sacra
mentaLcertificates used to bear a six
penny stamp; a tax on religious al-,
manacs, glass, stone bottles and adver
tisements were among the fiscal duties
of the past. There was also a tax on
"the light of Heaven" in the shape of
an impost on windows until far into the
present century. This odious and un
sanitary burden caused architects and
builders to erect houses with as few
windows as possible, and to escape the
tax the windows of many houses were
blocked up. Some of these dark and
dismal abodes are still in existence in
England. The Russian government a'
few years ago decided to tax kerosene
oil and matches virtually a tax on
light. In some parts of China a tax is
imposed on all women entering the
bonds of matrimony. Travelers to those
parts are obliged to take a wife, and
when they leave the ladies take fresh
husbands, to the benefit of the revenue.
In Servia vanity is taxed in the shape
of ladies' bustles. In Melbourne
Christmas cards are taxed one-fifth
per cent. It has been stated that in
Weimar the authorities levied a duty
on musical parties.
Quite lately an annual tax of ten
francs has been imposed on pianos in
Prance. Music has paid tribute to tax
ation in other ways. A musical troupe
Recently crossing the frontier of Sax
ony carried with them a crown of
laurels awarded them at a triumphal
performance. The custom house offi
cers taxed the laurels as spice. Masse
net, the composer, it is related, was
also charged duty on a crown of laurels
on the German frontier. In his case
the wreath of fame was deemed to be
woven of "medicinal plants." In
Montreal organ grinders pay a license
of twenty dollars and are only allowed
to play at stated times. In Vienna
they are also licensed and regulated as
to hours. In France a certificate of
character, a distinctive badge and lim
itation of hours is insisted upon. Ad
vertisements in the form of posters and
placards are required to bear a tax
stamp in France, which is distinctly a
tax on trade and publicity. In Italy,
where the" people complain that the
taxes are exorbitant, the voluntary tax
paid by the poorer classes in the form
of lottery amounts in a year to over
three million pounds sterling. At
Laterza the Italians recently broke out
in open revolt against the municipality,
II which had increased the hearth tax,
and took the civic buildings by as
sault, wounding the syndic, but they
do not agitate against the lottery tax.
In "Old Madrid" last year there was
terrible and fatal rioting among the
men and women who hawk vegetables,
fruit and other articles in the streets
and markets owing to the imposition
of a tax on Spanish hawkers.
In 18S9 M. Dunajewski, the Austrian
minister of finance, who was described
as "the -nimblest politician in the
world for inventing new taxes,? de
cided to tax the total isa tears or bet
ting agencies. Totalisateurs are es
tablished on all German and .Austrian
race courses. The system is to divide
all the money invested on the losing
horses among those who backed the
winner, after deducting eight per cent,
commission for the agency. There is
no cheating or welshing possible in the
plan. - A ten per cent, duty on win
nings was decreed. In France the
parimutual, a similar system of bet
ting, is taxed seven per cent., five per
cent, of which is devoted to the relief
of the poor. Bookmakers are also
taxed. There is also a municipal tax
of ten per cent, deducted from the re
ceipts of theatrical and public enter
tainments, which is also assigned for
the benefit of the unfortunate. This
revenue is principally distributed in
the shape of grants to public charities
and hospitals, thus making pleasure
come to the rescue of poverty and the
relief of pain. In Sweden commercial
travelers visiting that country have to
pay one hundred kroner (about twen-.ty-five
dollars) for every month or part
thereof they may remain for the privi
lege of transacting their business. . ,
