han half the used in Eng- made abroad . Y MATCHES in England . you buy means WORK FOR WORKERS . D , GLOUCESTER . ACTS AND FANCIES . RE MICROSCOPE AND CIVILISATION . microscope has been the most impor fall instruments in the work of civilis le 4 . or e wild quarters of the globe . It is the cope that has enabled us to discover the germs , enemies of man - the Common flies ' are fortunately not as as ponies . But the high - power micro- can make them so . We turn our lens to foot , and we find it to be a wonderful- re , furnished with two hook - like claws , ith two pads between the claws covered ollow hairs or tubes , through which the squeezes a sort of gum , enabling it to We stickily upside down on ceilings . at the eyes of flies and beetles are made thousands of little lenses , thus explain- eir quickness of vision . We peer at the e , or feelers , of a common moth , and ind them to be wonderfully complex , consisting of a main stem , from which rs of branches spring , covered with the hairs : the tongue of a butterfly is like ed watchspring ; the tongues of other 3 resemble lobster claws . The feet of insects are furnished with claws like of bears . A SACRED CLAM SHELL . clever priests of China often insert tiny s of Buddha within the shells of a living which are left undisturbed for about a At the expiration of that time the s are covered with mother of pearl to an extent that they appear to have grown is natural manner . The Chinese people these shells in great reverence , believing Buddha dwells within them . However , a Christian chance to look upon one of hells , it has no further value to them , as arm is supposed to have left it . SUBSTITUTE FOR CRADLES . e " baby tender " invented and used to ay in the Island of Marken , in the Zuy- ee , is the substitute for the cradle which the advance of baby carriages and en high chairs . In Marken , babies of sexes are dressed exactly alike , the ac- d fashion having been unchanged for centuries . At so early an age is the in- encased in the stays of this costume that is no use for a cradle for babies in en . The child is supported and kept out under foot in a wooden contrivance g both as a chair and cradle , which is ted on small wheels so that it may be y , moved about . A shelf in front serves rest , or receptacle for food or playthings . LIGHT FROM FUNGI .. agi growing on decayed wood often have gree of brilliancy that , when they are d on a newspaper , will enable one to the words in their vicinity with no other One species of fungus in Australia , 16in . ameter , was of such brilliancy that , seen distance , its light frightened the a es . STRANGE NIGERIAN BELIEFS . ird customs that exist in Southern is among a tribe known as the Ibibios described by Mr. P. Amaury Talbot in a re before the Royal Geographical ety . These people believe that if , when ag in their canoes at night , a stranger enly appears out of the darkness and is d sitting amongst them , they catch more than during any other night in the year . country round Stubbs Creek is very sacred , often in the night time , the tribesmen they can hear the cries of sacrificed goats , and sheep as they pass by on way to the spirit world . The worship of ral forces plays a prominent part in the ion of these people , and the spirits of tation are held in special reverence . the wave - worn beach of that portion of country taken over by Germany the le believe that after sunset of the day on ch a great chief dies at Calabar , a canoe be seen slipping through the shadows to- Hs the town . Ite coming is heralded by sound of toms - toms played by mysterious da , and it passes to " a ghost town " ght to exist near the source of the river . Talbot and his party were the first white to visit the shrine of Ita Brinyan , where merable skulls of victims sacrificed are up . In the midst of this region there is so - called " Lake of Life , " discovered by Eakin and Mr. Talbot's party . In the water of this strange pool live sacred . wherein dwell the souls of the ancestors be race . - FLOATING ON THE DEAD SEA . e wonderful buoyancy of the Dead Sea , strange inland sheet of water in Pales is proverbial . It is some forty - seven s long by nine miles wide , and lies no less 1,200ft . below the surface of the Mediter san , the lowest - lying lake on the face of globe . Its waters are so bitter that fish not live in them . We get an idea of its sity when it is stated that in a ton of water m the Atlantic there is thirty - one pounds of against 187 pounds from a like quantity in Dead Sea . The result is that it is impos e for a human being to sink in these waters . ow INDIANS MAKE FLINT ARROW - HEADS . not and he old Indian art of making flint arrow- ds was 50 difficult as is usually zined - white men make " old aine " Indian arrow - heads now for com cial purposes and by the old Indian hods . Flint is not chipped with stone or metal , but with water . When an Indian ed to make an arrow - head , he held e of flint in a fire until it was very hot , then allowed a drop of water to drip the end of a stick upon the spot to be ped away . The sudden cooling made the chip off immediately . Some cunning is , course , necessary in the shaping of the w - head , but the old Indian method is the that has been found .
