u The Law of Growth. '
Dr. Charles Sedgewick Minot, pro
fessor of histology and embryology In
the Harvard medical school, backs up
his theory of the law of growth by the
results of several years of observations
upon guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, ferrets,
and other small animals, as well as
Boston echool ebildren. , He says that
In all growing animal organisms, from
the period of birth to death there Is a
steady loss of the power to grow, con
trary to the general belief that this loes
begins later In life. The body develops
all the time, but the po-wer to keep up
that dereloument .steadljy decreases
after birth, and It decreases triuch more
rapidly at first than later in Mfe. A
guinea pig two days old will gain 10
per cent, of its weight In the next two
day. Hut the twenty-fifth addition of
10 per cent to its weight will take the
pig eighty-eight days. The law Is the

In a communication to the French
Acadomy of Sciences an explanation is
given of some of the hitherto unaccount
able plieuomen a pertaining to g horns.
It has been found in regard to acoustio
signals, or sirens, tbut they are sur
rounded by a neutral zone in which the
sound is not heard at the sea level a
zone more or less ditdant, according to
the height of the siren on the coast
and it has a mean width of about 8,400
feet.- Ou the nearer side of this zone the
sound is of course heard perfectly, but
wherv it is traversed the sound weakens
gradually until it becomes scarcely per
ceptible, when it increases again, and,
n the zone being left behind, the sound
resumes its full intensity, Experiments
have been made on. this line with a

or recede from a lightship in different

HE CRACKS A WHIP.
Bat Be Is m Phenomenal ArtUt la the Cm
or tbe lUuth.
A decided sensation has been created
in Vienna by u man who probably stands
alone in the world in bis particular line
of performance. This gentleman's name
is PisksluRv and, he i an Austro-Hun-garian
by birth. He is an export, or,
rather, a phenomenal artist, in the use
of the whip.
The first thing be does is to take a
long lashed, stout handled whip in each
huud, and, with . orchestral accompani
ment, proceed to crack or snap them at
a terrilio rate. The sound made by his
whips In this manner is graduated from
noise like a rifle report to the soft click
of a billiard ball. It makes a onrious sort
of music and serves to show how be
can regulate the force of each stroke. ,
More interest, however, is evinced
when be seizes a vicious looking whip
with an abnormally long lush. It is pro
vided with a very heavy handle of medi
um length. This is his favorite toy, and
what be can do with it is really won
derful. He first gives an idea of what
fearful force there lies iu a whip lash in
the bands of an expert.
A large frame, over which is stretched
a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the
stage. This is marked with dots of red
paint. The man with the whip steps up,
and, swinging the lash round his head,
leta fly at the calfskin. With every blow
be actually pulls a piece right out from
the leather, leaving a clean cut bole.
These pieces are distributed among
the audience to show that there is no
trickery about tbe performance. ' After
L this be takes frame with three shelves.
On these there are a dozen or more of
medium sized apples lying very close to
gether and provided with large numbers.
Any one in the audience may designate
which apple be wishes struck, and the
unerring lash snatches it ont like a flush.
A still more difficult feut is the snap
ping of coins from a narrow necked
bottle. A piece of silver about the size
of half a crown is put over tbe cork of
tbe bottle, which stands ou the edge of
a table. The 'whip artist, without ap
pearing to take any sort of aim, sends
the long lash whizzing through the air
and picks off tbe coin without jarring
tbe bottle, much less breaking it. Vi

8 ha Didn't Want Them to Fight.
I was going along a bridle path in
West Virginia when I beard a young
man and a young woman talking ear
nestly : : '' , .,
"I don't want yo' all to foot," said
the girl.
"But yo' done promised to marry the
one thet whopped," remonstrated her
escort
"I don't keer. I didn't think no

"Well, maybe neither of ns'll get
shot."
,. "I don't keer."
"If one got killed, you'd marry
t'other?"
"Yaas."
"An if both got killed thar's plenty

"Yaas; thar'sSam, an I think a heap

gits killed and t'other gits crippled so

. ; How Sand Hills Grew.
A sand hill is not "made" so much as
planted.' Wherever a patch of "marrum
grass" takes root, there the sand blown
from the great bank gathers round it
As the sand spreads, the grass grows
through it, until the hard dry blades
form the nucleus of thousands of tons of
"hills." Near Holkham bay there lay
not 40 years ago a wet "lake" inside
the high sand. There the "gunners"
used to hi do for curlew, digging boles
and filling them with "marrum grass",
to make - them dry and comfortable.
This grass took root, tbe sand gathered
lound, and where tbe "lake" lay is now
a tumultuous mass of rounded hillocks,
rising 20 feet above high water level
built by the "marram grans" from the
surplns drif tings of the mighty sand.

The Shepherd Collie Which Bavsd
Twenty-five Horace. "
When Mr. Lelcht, of the Paepcke
I.etcht Lumber Company, paid J2B for
Jock, a Scotch collie, he little thought
the dog would pay for itself a. hundred
times over and save property worth
$3,000. Such, however, Is the fact, and
had It not been for the sagacity of Jock
twenty-five horses belonging! to' Mr.
Lelcht's firm would have lost their
Uvea lu the fire which partially destroy
ed its lumber-yard ou Tuesday night
The horses were In a stable In the rear
of the building In which the fire was
discovered, aud though the night
watchman cut their halters they would
not leave the building. Jock seemed
to understand the situation, and, rush
ing Into tbe stalls, drove the animals
out one by one. He barked aud bit at
the heels of the frightened animals,
and did better work than & score of
men. One of the animals after be was
outside ran back Into the burning sta
ble and was followed by Jock. Bnt the
efforts of the dog were o no avail; the
horse was "fire mad" and was burned
to dcatb.
Jock Is four years old and Is the
nightly 'companion of AVatcbman
Arndt. The dog discovered the fire
and by barking attracted tbe atten
tion of the watchman. When bla work
of rescue was complete he took up a
position by the yard gate, and neither
streams of water nor showers of sparks
would dislodge him from his place.
Jock Is of pure Scotch breed, and, ac
cording to bis owner, Tuesday night's
occurrence was not the first exhibition
of Intelligence above the ordinary. Sev
eral times he nas onven suspicious
characters away from the yards, aud
woe to the tramp who trios to turn a

Why not be a well woman this
spring? . ) - '
There are women who cannot tolerate
the smallest neglect about tbe bonne
who toa often take no on re of their
health.
Tboy should use these precious March
d lys for getting strong and well by
uking Paine's celery compound the
greatest of all spring remedies.
Mm Elsie M. Brown of 3 Leeds St.,
Dorchester, Mass , whose picture is
given above, wrote the 6th of this
month as follows: .
"Four or five years ago, I suffered
with dreadful pains In my back (owing
to my kiduny), sj much so that night
sfur night I could not close my eyes,
and what few hours sleep 1 did get, I
could be heard moaning and tossing,
showing that even in my sleep, I
suffered palu At times I would have
more pain than nsual over my left
hipaad when waking in the morning
it would be all I oould do to stretch
my ltmb down straight, as there would
be a drawing and trembling of the
oords. Besides such torture, 1 began
to bloat a great deal,
"After suffering for some time, a
friend advised me to try Paine's celery
oompouud. I can truthfully say thst
after nsing four bottles I was cared;
not helped, but cured. " .
If you have any doubt at all these,
spring days about your health If neu
rulgio twinges, kidney troubles, diixy
spoils, iudigefttion or heart palpitation
show tbemstilves.don't wait for plainer
warnings. Muke a olean sweep, of all
these aliments from the system.
ft is easiest to do this now, as spring
is approaching. Take Paine's celery
compound when the system Is most re
sponsive to Its demising, strengthen
ing influence. ,
An improved appetite, sound diges
tion, uninterrupted sleep, and an ener
ptlo condition, are the result of taking
Value's colery compound.
