A scientific writer in the Klectrical magazine advances the startling theory that the time occupied by our world in its diurnal rotation is slowly lengthening. The fact, he says, remains irrefutable that the diuration of our present day is much loss than it was some million years ago; but there are now several na- tural physical causes tending to ef- fect a gradual arrest of the earth's proper motion about her axis. The most important of these is the retarding eCtect of tidal action in- fluence<l by the sun and moon's at- traction. The tides, no doubt, had an enormously greater effect during the early stagvs of the earth's career than at present; but while the re- tarding action of the tides still re- mains probably the greatest factor in the possible lengthening of the day, it must be infinitely less than tormerly. when the globe was a mol- ten state, and at a still earlier peri- od when it was in a gaseous condi- tion. There are other retarding causes which have to do with the lengthen- eiiing of the day â€" the drift of mil- lions of tons of glaciers in their flow towards the equator, the weight of excorine thrown up by volcanic ac- tion fiom possibly the depth of a mile to the earth's surface, and the action of magnetic currents, which would absorb some energy from the revolving irmss that represents our World.

ITie Duke of Westminster has two estates in London, either of which yields a truly regal income. From the two estates the Duke is said to draw many millions a year.

Believe in Ghosts, Witches and Power of the Medicine Men. The Indian believes there are boa constrictors in the strejinis of North America, and also that the South American tapir lives in N'orth Amer- ica. He ca.Ils the boa constrictor tho iste-ach-war-naycr and calls the tapir nocas-oh-mer. The Indian believes he has a cure and preventive tor rabies or hydro-!: phobia. He also belieri-es he can cure any snake bile on earth, from a ground rattler to a velvet tail or diamond rattler. An Indian never was known to go mad from a dog bite or die from a rattler's bile, while other races succumb to the vo- noni of a .snaJte or go mad from the bite of a rabid dog. The Indian be- lieves that cleansing the stomach each lull of the moon by vomiting ; gives long life and good "health to all who will practise it through life. The Indian, when in battle and I fatally wounded, belit>ves that if his medicine man can reach him with his bitter medicine before he dies it will give his instant relief and he w 11 be able to escape from tho bat- V<-'deld He thinks every man is honest \intil he finds hlni out, in wfe^ch ev.T't he loses all confidence in hid^ ami never gels over it. Th* Indian never makes up after falling out with any one. He may speak to an enemy as he passes, but dies with tJie hatred in his heart. He believes as much or has as ! much faith in an Indian doctor as ' the paleface has in his M.D. The Indian doctor claims he never under- takes to treat a patient unless he thoroughly understands the nature of tho case. The red man once believed in wit- ches, but he does not now. He says some old time Indians were witches, but they are not the experts in med- icine they once were. He believes that through their medicines was gained liie power of ivitchcrait. The Indian believes in ghosts, but claims that not many are able to see them; some never see them. while others do.

Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power Loces- sary to break a life-long habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons.
