The smoke will be seen to remain on the surface for three or four minutes. or even longer. although smoke. as is well known. tends to rise on account of being warmer than the air: aim in spite of the fact that the process of diffusion is tending to make it mix with the air. if the experiment is tried at night under a red light and on a smooth mahogany table. the scenic effects produced by the con- voiutions of smoke are positively un- canny. Articles That Were Used by the Ara- wak Indians of Jamaica. When in 1494. on his second voyage, Columbus discovered the island of Jamaica, it was populated by the Ara- wak Indians, who. although at first hostile to him, became friendly on his giving them clothing and other articles before unknown to them. When later the Spaniards settled the island they forced the Indians not only to do agricultural work in their own bland, but to labor in the gold mines of Haiti. So hard were the Spanish taskmasters that by 1558 the whole Arawak nation was exterminated. During recent years G. 0. Langley o: Pelham Manor has been seeking to re- cover all possible traces oi' the lost race. To that end he spent much time on the island in exploring the old kitchen middens or refuse heaps of the Arawaks, in which he has found, be- sides shells and pottery and fish, turtle and cony bones, many celts or rude chisels, grinding stones, stone pendants and axesâ€"1,500 objects in all. The whole collection he has given to the American Museum of Natural History in New York city. The most interesting objects are the cylindrical atone pendants, which were fashioned with sand and stone by endless rubbing. Pendants of exactly the same sort are worn today as in- signia of office by chiefs or head men of tribes in' northern South America.- Yonth’s Companion. Sucking Fish. A curious looking object is the suck- ing fish, which has a peculiar disk fitted to the crown of its head. By means of this it attaches itself to any fish it choosesâ€"a shark or whale, for instance, or turtles and even ships- and so it is carried about without any trouble. When once attached they stick like glue, and they are occasion- ally used for purposes of fishing. A. line is fixed to the fish’s tail. which is then set free. As soon as it discovers a fish or a turtle it takes a firm hold. In the simplest form of fishing the line is dragged in and the sucking fish hauled up. together with its captive. In the case of a turtle the fisherman dives after the line and so secures the sequently used to take gas out of veso sels and as a sanitary agent. In fact, charcoal is medicinal in some respects. being prescribed for patients troubled with gas on the stomach. After the charcoal is swallowed it absorbs the gas in the stomach and the unpleasant distension is gone. HOW It Hay .0 mum-sud.

RELICS OF A LOST RACE. The first member of the new family who dies is buried about twenty feet below ground and the next one almost sixteen feet. and this goes on until all the family die and are buried. The grave holds them all, and this. they think. prevents them fromybeing sep- arated. This grewsome wedding pres- ent is the one most valued by the bride. the favorite native saying being, "When all other things are gone this remains.” ' Badly Missed. Hugh had been left with his grand- parents when his mother was called away by the illness of hls father. A few days after she went away the lit- tle fellow said. “I wish i was where mother is." His grandmother said, “Why, just think; if you were there you would be missing your school.” to which he replied: “Yes. But don't you know it is a great deal worse to miss your mother than your school?"â€"Ex- change. “So they are,” said the genial hotel proprietor, “but that’s just for having your name on the register.

Those who attain to any excellence commonly spend life in some one sin- gle pursuit, for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms.-Johnson.
