Lace Made From Hair.
Tiie most curious lace is called point
tresse. It is very rare and was made
of human hair. French collectors say
that it exists in the prespnt day only
in their cabinets, it was confined to
the early part of the sixteenth century.
Margaret, countess of Lennox, the
mother of the wretched Darnley, sent
from the tower, where she was Im
prisoned when her son, Lord Charles
Lennox, married the daughter of Bess
of Hardwicke, a hit of this kind of
lace to Mary, queen of Scots. This is
a very strong proof of her belief in the
queen's Innocence of the guilt that had
been imputed to her. Tiie little square
of point tresse was worked by the old
countess' own hands from her own
gray hair. It was, in fact, hair mixed
with fine flax.—London Express.

tiie mean rainfall on continents, which
Is found to lie about thirty inches per
year. The rainfall on the ocean is
more difficult to measure, but it has
been estimated by Supau, and Fritsche,
taking account of all the known facts,
estimates the mean annual rainfall for
the entire surface of the earth at about
thirty-six inches. Making use of this
number. It is easy to calculate that the
total rainfall amounts to 464 million
