To-day It Ih used n a lmv nige In nearly all civilized lands, and even barbarians dream over Ita euro beguiling iirojiertleH. A pious legend tells uh tliat Dariima. an Indian saint, was tin. medium through which the bew-rnge became known to the world. He bad renounced all allurements of this life to pass the remainder of his days in meditation and prayer. Many long years he spent In supplication, when one fatal night the evil one pos H"Mxcd his soul and the saint fell asleep to dream of a beautiful woman who had enchanted him. When be awoke ho was ho humiliated and pained that he drew from his girdle it knife and severed his lazy eyelids from bis eyes mid cast them from him. What was ti Ih amazement to discover the next morn ing that the lids had dlsapHared. and In their place two wonderful shrub were growing shrubs with dainty leallets, eyelid-shaped and snowy buds opening to the east! He called It te, mid vowed that with Its help he would pass the remainder of his days and tilghts In uubioken uicdltnll'Jii. Tea became known In ICngland nlwut the middle of the seventeenth century, inuring the latter half of which we llnd occasional reference to It, hut It did not come Into general use until the be ginning of the eighteenth century. It wius llrst sold In public houses as beer In now. and tapped. Ten Is the national drink In Russia.

In the evening, the hint thing before going to lied, are regular times when evorylMxIy takes ten. but there are many who take It at odd Intervals between times. In Morocco the teamaker puts li handful of tea Into a teapot, pours on some hot water and Kjurs It off direct ly. Then as many lumps of sugar as desired are added and the teniot Is (Hi ed with iKillIng water. The same tea Is brewed two or throe times, leaves of wild thyme and fragrant verbena being added. Milk and cream are never used. The host nlways ours out a cup for himself llrst and drinks It off before his guests have time to touch theirs. This Is to show them that he has no designs against their lives, and that the tea Is not poisoned. Ten Is not simply n lieverngo with TIlMMuns, but the principal article of food. It Is Invariably mixed with but ter nnd parched barley, nnd the leaves lire not Infrequently eaten. The brick tea Is reduced to powder and put Into the kettle Just before the water bolls, nnd after cooking live minutes salt and soda are added. Sometimes It Is.pqr taken of In this stage of the prepara tion, but usually It Is put, through a bnmlioo strainer. Into a tea churn, with a little barley meal, and churned vigor ously for two or three minutes: then it Is poured Into earthen or metul teapots and Is ready to be drunk. The Hutch drink tea In the evening two hours nfter dinner.

How over, In order to deaden the sounds, the paper was not put on the wall Itself; It was painted over canvas and behind the canvas I discovered a wire grating, be hind which was a layer or felt. Only beyond the felt could I reach the stone wall. At tho Inner side of the room there was a washstand and a thick door. In which I made out a locked opening to pass the rood through and a little slit, protected by ghms and a shutter from the outside. T'-ls was the "Judas" through which the prisoner could be silled upon at every moment. The sen try who stood In tho passage frequently lifted the little shutter and looked In side, his boots squeaking as he crept to ward the door. I tried to Kpeak to him. Then the eye which I could see through tht! slit assumed an expression of terror and the tiliutier was immediately let down, only lo be opened furtively n' min ute or two later.

Science PSMivenfioe Recent Investigations prove that eighty-three per cent, of all the ocean lloor lies further down than one thou sand fathoms, or one mile below the surface; twenty-one per cent, lies be tween one and two miles; tifty per cent lies between two and three miles, nnd seven per cent. Is known to lie further down than three miles.

Lake Chelan. In the State of Wash Ingtoti, Just east of the Cascade range of mountains, was recently the, scene of a strnnge disturbance. Without warning, the water In the center of the lake, which Is some forty miles long and three or four broad, rose to a height of fifteen feet. Immense waves rolled upon the shores, nnd n large creek emptying Into the lake ran dry for three hours. There is an Indian tradi tion of n volcanic crater having once existed in the neighborhood of the lake. There Is already talk In Kngland of developing the natural resources of the Sudan through sclentlllc exploration. Immense forests Hue the banks of tho IHuo Nile along its upper reaches, ex tending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony-tree Is met with along thnt river nnd also near the Sobnt.

Search will bo made for coal. Dr. U. Hauthal, an Argentine savant, has put forward n startling theory con cerning the remains of glgautlc sloths related to the great megatherium nnd the mylodon, recently found In Pata gonia. In his opinion, these animals, whose race Is now extinct, were kept in a domesticated state by the prehis toric Inhabitants of Tatngoula. A cave at Ultima Espernnzn, where many In dications of the former presence of the huge sloths hnve been found, is re garded by Doctor Hauthal as having been used by the ancient Putagonians as a stable for the beasts. The marvellous effects that are some ,es produced hy music may eventual- lv receive n scientific explanation. In n recent lecture nt Oxford University, Professor MeKeudrlok snid that, while tho intricate connections of tho audi tory nerves are only just being un ravelled, it is probable that the roots of those nerves nre moro widely distrib uted nnd hnvo more extensive connec tions than those of any other nerves In the human body.
