Huge and grotesque stone images stand and lie over the fertile surface of a deserted Island far south in tbe raclflc. It is a place that Toe might have sung Into existence or Rider Hag gard created for the scene of some fantastic romance. Even its name Easter island seems more literary than geographical. Easter island, 2,000 miles from South America and 1,400 miles east of Pltcairn Island, has on all the forty-five square miles of its area less than 200 people.' But it has other inhabitants, great masses of rock, COO in number, each carved into the semblance of a human figure, the origin of which is a mystery. These statues weigh on an average from ten to twelve tons" each, some of them reucliiug a weight of forty tones. A few of them stand on strong platforms 400 feet long, and many similar plat forms stand untenanted. At the quarry, which is a crater (for Easter Island is of volcanic origin), a number of these images lie half form ed as the vanished sculptors left them. There is another crater where the crowns of the figures were made from rock of a different sort. Here, too, are found unfinished specimens. Church man. '" THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. It's a Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say They Emit Sounds. German scientists are greatly Inter ested in a discussion regarding new phenomena revealed by the aurora borealls, according to recent Norwe gian and German observers. Teople living in the northern part of Norway maintained that they often hear sounds accompanying the northern lights. These sounds are described by some as similar to tbe crackling of flames. Accordingly German and Norwegian scientists started out to Investigate the phenomena, and one of them, Olav Aabakken, has spent a long time at the Hallde observatory in Finruarken. Aabakken thinks that It is very un likely that any sound Is to be heard from the northern lights. He main tains that the humnn senses are not to be relied on, especially regarding the phenomena of sight Aabakken says that the Idea of sound connected with the northern lights may result from tho fact thot these lights look like flames, and as people are accustomed to associate the crackling sound with flames the rath er uncritical observer of the blazing movements of the aurora borealls is apt to think that he really! hears tbe sound of those flames. New York Press. A man who had' lost the sight of both eyes trained bis bearing until he could tell by tbe sound of his footsteps on the sidewalks as he made bis way about town whether he was in tbe middle of tbe walk or at one side, whether he was walking past a brick or a frame house or a fence or open ground. lie knew in what part of tbe town he was not only by bis memory or sense of general direction, but by he difference in the "tones" of his footsteps, and be walked about freely, seldom running Into anything or any body. Some one In his presence once called In question bis total blindncHS. "Which eye do you think I can see with?" he asked tbe skeptic. "The left one, of course' was the reply. "I can see that tha right one is blind." In reply tbe blind man merely opened bis penknife and tapped tbe left eye with tbe little blade. It was a glass eye. Frks of Nature, Monument park, near: Colorado Springs, Colo., contains some queer freaks of nature. Among the most singular is a group of light grayish yellow sandstone pillars twenty or more feet high capped with a thin layer of dark colored rock which re semble tbe tops of giant muBbrootns which have shriveled and partially dried up. The dark colored capping being of a much harder (Ironstone) rock than tbe pillar has to some ex tent protected the latter from disinte gration. Especially at nightfall is the traveler1 impressed with the weird ef feet of these gigantic and grotesque forms, which In the uncertain light assume the attitudes of huge human or animal shapes.
