"I used to be a strong- believer in phy siognomy," said R. C. Kidloj- to a Wash ington Star writer, "but have lost some of my f:uth in it as a science. In fact-, a man's t.urrouudings have very much to do with the. character shown by his face. I had an iliusl ration of this com ing into Washington. When we left Chicago I noticed a group of men two or three seats in front of me, but paid 110 attention to them particularly, but after we had gone about 50 miles I saw that on-; of them was handcuffed. He was well-dressed, and at first I thought he did not look like a criminal, but soon saw lines that betokened cunning dupli city and a lack of morality generally. 1 became so interested that my gaze at tracted the attention of one of the offi cers having him in chargv. and he said: You seem to be studying the man T have there. Did you ever see him before?' I told him I had not. but I was a physi ognomist, and was studying the crim inal lines in the face. He prevailed up on me to make a report on the man's character, which was greeted with laughter from the prisoner as well as the officers. Then they explained that he was of irreproachable character, and in prank had tried on the cuffs, which be longed to the officer, and the key being lost, could not get them off. Then the criminal lines in the face all disap peared." How to get rich. $25 will earn you $7 weekly With our plan of investment. You cannot lose. Two men made $500 and $600 last month on $25.

An Excellent Method of Getting Within the Enemy's Lines Ballooning Has Since Become an Important Branch 1 of Military Stndy. . f The last big European war taught the French more about ballooning than they would otherwise have learned in a generation. At the begin ning of the hvar the government re jected many proposals from balloon makers to construct a number of war balloons, but when they were shut up in Paris they gladly turned "to the bal loon to help them. They turned all their disused stations into balloon factories, and sought the services of the few experienced aeronauts then available for the teaching of the use and management of the balloon to the people. During four months 66 bal loons left Paris, of which number only three have never been accounted for. This is remarkable when it is remem bered that no lights were allowed in the night ascensions, and the balloons could only be sent up under cover of darkness. One hundred and sixty persons, in cluding Gambetta, were carried safely over the Prussian lines, and 2,500,000 letters were sent." The balloons also took with them pigeons, which were sent back to Paris with letters and dis patches. The messages were written and photographed down very small on exceedingly thin paper. This was rolled up, inserted in a quill and at tached to the tail feathers of the pigeon. When it was received in Paris the photograph was put under a mi croscope and the message read. One of the balloons, the Ville d'Orleans, left Paris at 11 o'clock at night, and arrived near Christiana, Norway, 15 hours latex, having crossed the North sea in its remarkable voyage. Most of he aeronauts were sailors, who were :hosen because of their familiarity with the management and steering of boats at sea, and they proved very ca pable. During the entire siege bal loons formed the only means of com munication with the outside world for the imprisoned inhabitants, and noth ing could have taken their place. Since then ballooning has been made an important branch of military study, and the course through which the bal looning corps has to pass is becoming daily more scientific and severe. The war balloon must be compact, always ready for action, and very strong. It is not large enough for two. It is always captive that is, it is secured to the earth by a cable. It is seldom emptied of its gas, and is, therefore, always ready for action at a moment's notice. The equipment Of a balloon corps, be sides the balloon itself, consists essen tially of two wagons, one large and heavy, somewhat resembling a lum ber truck, and the other considerably smaller. The former is used to fasten the balloon to, and is provided with large reels containing about 2,000 yards of twisted wire rope. The smaller wagon is filled with iron pipes containing gas, and is technically called the "tube wagon." At the word of command the balloon, always inflated, is released, and bounds upward to the height of several hun dred feet, uncoiling the rope after it. The officer in the car takes up with him maps of the surrounding country and a field glass. The position and arrange ment of the enemy are tnarued dowp on the maps with different colored pencils, indicating cavalry, infantry, etc. These marked maps are then placed in a leather bag, which is at tached to a ring, which slides down the cable to the ground, where a mounted officer awaits it, and carries the mes sage to the general in command. Other means of communicating the informa tion have been tried, such as by tele phone and phonography, but many officers still cling to the colored pen cil method, which, they say, is very sure and effctive. Chicago Record. ANYBODY CAN AFFORD A GRAVE Mexican Cemetery In Which a Resting; Place Can Be Had at Small Cost. A correspondent of the Boston Trav eler describes the queer cemetery of the Mexican city of Guanajuato. T here is hardly room in Guanajuato for the living, so it behooves the people to exercises rigid economy in the disposi tion of her dead. The burial place is on the top of a steep hill, which overlooks the city and consists of area inclosed by what appears from the outside to be a high wall, but which discovers it self from within to be a receptacle for bodies, which are placed m tiers, much as the confines of their native val leys compel them to live. Each apart ment in the wall is large eno jgh to ad mit one coffin, and is rented for $1 per month. The poor people are buried in the ground without the formality of a coffin, though one is usually rented in which the body is conveyed to the grave. As there are not graves enough o go round, whenever a new one is needed a previous tenant must be dis turbed, and this likewise happens when a tenant's rent is not promptly paid in advance. The body is then removed from its place in the mausoleum or ex humed, as the case may be, and the bones are thrown into the basement be-'1 low. Soap Foam compounds. excels all other washing a2-3m.

It is nothing more nor less than a display of 'tmummified" plants. It requires a label to inform the people that they are dead, says the Boston Transcript, for the plants ap pear exactly as if alive and growing. They are not made of wax, or of cloth, but are genuine plants that have grown in the earth until they have reached a good state of development, when, by their being treated to a certain injec tion, the growth is arrested. . Then comes the strange part, for the plants so treated do not droop and die, the leaves remain fresh and bright, and the plant stands erect. It is. moreover, impervious to heat and cold, and "noth ing seems able to destroy its strange repose. The iucst striking part of the exhibit is a collection of large palms used for decorating. These plants are noted for being very tender and sus ceptible to almost every influence. Those on exhibition have been dead for six months, yet not even when the leaves are carefully examined would the fact be suspected. The exhibiit promises to create much interest among visitors to the fair, as the many advantages of having plants thus im pervious to all conditions can be readily seen. The credit of providing the ex hibit belongs to a New Hampshire man. who discovered the process of treating the plants. CHAMPION MEAN MAN. A Discovery in Virginia That Far Eclipses All Previous Ones. "I located the meanest man in the world a few days ago," said a traveling man, according to the Washington Star. "I stopped at a small Virginia town, and, the hotel being crowded, bad to sleep in the room with anoiher man. I left a call for an early morn ing train, and when I was awakened found that my roommate had taken a still earlier train. I also discovered that he had taken my trousers, in the pockets of which wer? about $30. I complained about it to the hotel and the clerk said the man was a horse buyer, and it would be made all right, so I took the train to a town about 100 miles distant. On the train I ex amined the pockets of the trousers I had on and found a wallet containing $3,000. I telegraphed Ihe real owner at once, saying I would return them, which I did, not paying ihe express charges, as I was out of fund.?, he hav ing all my money.. After two days, during which I wore borrowed trous ers, I received mine with express charges unpaid and a C. O. !). bill at tached for 25 cents he had paid on his own. I borrowed the money and got the package, but if Ihere is a prize at tached to the discovery of the meanest man in the world, I want, it."

The city of Cincinnati po&sessce a striking example of what can be done by woman's pluck when accompanied by practical common sense. Twelve years ago' the Misses Stewart, three yonng women who had been reared in wealth, were by ' business failures thrown upon their own resources. They secured a room in a business biock and established a lunch-room, where they made a specialty of home cookery. Most of the work they did with their own hands, and the excel lence of their supplies soon created a demand. The little lunch-room became a success, and at the end of five years, when the great Chamber of Commerce building was put up and there was to be a large restaurant connected with it, the Misses Stewart boldly applied fcr it. They were backed by many of the best business men of the city, who had known them in their days of wealth and been impressed by their ability as business women. Their bid was ac cepted, the Misses Stewart assumed charge of the "Glencairn" lunch-room, and have conducted it without a break or a failure for the last, seven years. The clientele is very large. For rest and services alone the yearly expenses are .$10,000. The prices charged for food are very reasonable, yet the sis ters not only paid all expenses, but live in comfort and are becoming wealthy. They have never lost social position by) going into business, and during their entire career have never had to borrow a dollar. POISONED AIR. What Produces Discomfort in a Crowded Room. A very important investigation into the nature of the substances contained in air expired by human beings, says the London Graphic, has just been completed by two prominent men of science in America, Dr. J. S. Billings and Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. As a result of their extended researches they de clare that "the discomfort produced by crowded, ill-ventilated rooms, in per sons not accustomed to them, is not due to the excess of carbonic acid, nor to bacteria, nor in most cases to dust of any kind. The two great causes of such discomfort, though not the only ones, are excessive temperatures and unpleasant odors." But though the air actually expired "by- healthy men and animals contains no more poison ous substances than carbonic acid gas, experiments on the air in inhabited rooms and hospital wards are said to show that an important source of con tamination is the minute particles of dusts, in which there are micro-organisms, and it seems probable that these are the only really dangerous elements in the air. These views, and the con clusion, that the presence of carbonic acid gas is not a trustworthy criterion of the existence of other and more poi sonous exhalations, are likely to be questioned by many students of ventila tion.
