NONE CAN EXPLAIN "AURORA" Nerthern Llghte Said to Be Due te Paaeage of Electricity Through the Air. The aurora borealla (or northern lights) la occasionally aeen In the north temperate aona and frequently In the polar region a. It la aald to be due to the passage of electricity through the rarefied air of the arctic none. Tlie name "aurora borealia" waa flrat used by Caasendl, who, In 1821, observed one Id France, and wrote a description of It. The "au rora" la periodic In Ita manlfeatatlona, the finest dteplaya being at Intervale of 00 yeara, and leaa marked onea at Intervale of 10 or 11 yeara.

CiiIifnrniH wiMnlpeokera often pasa much of their Idle tlma In the light occupation of filling- holes ln tree trunk with pebblca. When they are really Imliistrloua, however, they man ufacture them! symmetrical holeg and fill them anugly with aconw. Often they allow these acorns to remuln In fold storage for aeveral months, and then, when they tiwd extra rations, they know where a supply can readily be found. When oaks and plnea grow aide hy aide, the blnla usually favor the pinea as storage treea. Thla Is probably because It la only on such tree that the outer bark preaents a aultiible surface for drilling the holes. No living oak trees are used, but dead oaka, from which the bark has fallen, are chosen. The vast number of such holes that alnicle tree trunk can contain may be Inferred from the fact that in CO feet of a fallen pine tree In the Ran Jacin to mountains of California It waa esti mated that there Were 81,800 holes. Aim oat without exception, the acorns are Inserted Into the holes. The birds take great pains to hammer them ln swarely. They like not only the acorns, but the gruba that are often contained in them.

BOOKS READ BY TRAVELERS Much Difference In Choice Diaplayed by Flrat and Second-Claaa Ocean Voyagers. The writer of the dally literary cauaerle in the New York Evening Post has had the curiosity to explore the collertlona of booka provided by a steamship for the use of her passen gers. He has alwaya had the theory, he aaya, that In theae large and lux urious vesaela the aecond-claas library would be likely to be more In line with his own taatea than the firat-clnaa library, and bis visit to the boat has confirmed thla supposition. In the second class, for Instance, there were more Ktevenaona Including "Treasure Island." which waa not in the firtrt- cluaa collection. He noticed also in the aecond-claaa, but not In the first, some Charlotte Rronte, Wordsworth, Tennyson and Oliver Wendell Holmes. In reply to the question what kind of hunk the readers asked for moet. the ' library steward In the first clans an 1 swered without hesitation: "Ninety per cent want detec tive atorles." Tiie library steward In the second class, on the other hand, said thut, among the pasaengera he had to do with, love stories were moat In demand. The Wicked Judas. During a visit he paid to Oberara mergau several yeara ago the late Mr. Andrew b. White, the American dip lomat, made the acquaintance of the Judaa, whom he described as by far the beat actor In the whole perform ance. Mr. White remarked to hlra that he ought to have a double salary, as the Judas had ln the miracle plays of the Middle Agea, when thla was thought due to him aa compensation for the Injury done to his character by hla taking that part At this the Oberammergau Judas smiled pleasant ly, and replied: "No; I am content to share equally with the othera. But the aame feeling toward the Judas atlll exlsta." He then told Mr. White the following atory. A few weeks bo fore, while he was working at his carving bench, the door of hla work shop opened and a peasant woman from the mountains came ln, stood still, and gawd at him Intently. On hla asking her what she wanted she aald : "I saw you ln the play yester day. I wished to look at you again. You look ao like my husband. He Is dead. He, too, was a very bad man I" Manchester Guardian. One Better.

"I've farmed for 37 years," aald Klwush Klltenborn, "and spent my time at grooming steers and coaxing tardy corn. I'm call'msed now on hoof and hand and lume in back and mind; I'm weary of my square of land and this etornal grind.

He stops In at the blacksmith shop, the lumber yard and store, to tell the village clerk:, or cop, about the days of yore ! "That was the life!" he tells them all. "'Twas busy, full and free; 'twas pep and go both spring and fall It was the life for me! There's nothing like the farm, I swear, the pumpkins and the pens, the kicking colts and bilndle mare, the meadows and the hens! Search this old globe from head to heel no better Job you'll find but this old aimless loafing deal Is sure an awful grind!" J. K. Tufft, In Farm Life. PREPARING TEA IN JAPAN Process Is Long and Complicated, and Involves the Employment of Much Labor. Aa soon as possible after being picked, the tea leaves are placed on a round tray, with a brass wire bottom, over boiling water. This process of steaming, which Is completed ln half a minute, brings the natural oil to the surface. The next and principal op eration Is firing, which Is done on a wooden frame, with thick Japanese pa per stretched across It charcoal well covered with ashes being the fuel em ployed. This first firing Is done at a temperature of about juu degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile the leaf Is manipulated for hours by men who roll It Into balls with the palms of their hand. The final result is obtained when each leaf becomes separately twisted, nnd changes color to a dark olive green. Two more firings at a lower temperature follow, after which the leaf Is allowed to dry until It be comes quite brittle. When the proc ess Is complete the tea Is kept strictly dry, as moisture destroys Its aroma. Tea so made Is the genuine Japan tea, or what is commonly known In Amer ica as "green tea." East and West. Quakerism In Maryland. The spread of Quakerism In Mary land was characteristic of the quiet xeal with which the promotion of the faith was made. Maryland's mission ary minister of the sect was a woman, Elizabeth Harris, who visited Virginia In luTC and returned to London In the following year after touring the Chesa peake shore. One of her converts, Robert Clarkson, distributed a ship ment of books concerning the doc trines of the Friends among his neigh bors, nnd by 1672 there were numerous residents of the Chesaneake shore who knew the principles of the Friends. George Fox, visiting Maryland that year, noted that at a meeting on the Eastern Shore there were so many boats passing upon the river "that It was almost like the Thames." Ornamental Headgear. The subarctic people from the frozen tundra wear a snugly fitting bonnet with earlaps, designed to ex clude the cold aa well as to conserve the heat. Although the utilitarian side Is the essential feature, and each of the twenty or more little pieces used In the construction of the bonnet are necessary to make the shape, the people who wear this headgear have adapted, ornamentation to its limita tions. Fur is the basic material, but there are effective Inserts of different colored strips of leather, some of which are woven with leather of a contrasting shade. In introducing bright colors they depend almost en tirely on quill work, although oc casionally bits of trade cloth are used. Odd and Interesting. Geophaglsts, as dirt-eaters are called, have been known from the earliest times. Some soils in Russia, India and other countries have always been Bought by the natives for their health-giving qualities, and In a cer tain district ln India there is a black earth that Is used as a sweetmeat mixed with small quantities of grass and leaves. The difference between the old straight and the newer crinkly hair pin made a fortune for the man who noticed that his wife shed her hairpins as she walked about the house.
