CONSOLING DEL INTENDED, George's Unnecessary Fenras Weee Dissipated by One Word. She had agreed to become his wife. For a long time he had sat in silence, too full of emotion to say anything, s8o great was his happiness at having at last achieved the fondest dream of his life. At length his face, hitherto wreathed with smiles, became clouded A scowl of annoyance settled upon it. She, who had been attentively watch- ing his countenance, was quick to ob- Serve the change. «“What is the matter, George,” she asked in alarm. “You are not sorry you asked ne to marry you and that L consented? Oh, George, 1 hope that is not it.” “No, dear. You know I love you! as Lever woman was loved before.” “Then what is it that causes you dis- tress? Tell me that I may console you. It is the duty of a little wife to comfort her husband in atiliction, and | I am going to be your little witie. Ain’t I George?” ‘Yes, darling, you are.” And there was silence during which no sound fell upon the air except a noise like the popping of champagne corks. “Well, Georgie, now tell me all about , “Well, dear, I wes wondering what your father will say when I ask him for your hand. You are such a prec- fous jewel that I dare not ask him far you. I feel as if I were robbing hiu\ of the greatest and most precious | thing in the world.” “Well.” she replied, “if that’s all that’s the matter with you, I might as well tell you that father and IL re- hearsed the whole act last night ufter you left, and I am sure he will reflect | credit upon my lessens when yor speak to him.” Anda g heart, while another in t load was lifted from his HUNTERS HIT BY THEIR GAME, 8 = é e cy 5 B S a Where Sportsmen Have ere Blows from Birds.

"— New York Sun. - Ballooning at Sea. The French navy is now being fitted out with vessels which are to carry on the science of ballooning at sea. A French cruiser, the Sfax, belonging to the Mediterranean squadron, has been fitted out expressly for experiments with balloons. The balloon itself is kept on deck in a half inflated condi- tion. It does not take up much space of itself, but the equipment necessery for proper balloon work demands a good deal of room. Whenever it may be deemed necessary to learn of the presence of vessels in the neighbor- hood of the French squadron, the bal- loa will be inflated and seht up; and its occupants will thus have a view of a far greater extent of ecean than could be seen from the deck or mast of a yessel.—Boston Advertiser.

Wonderfal Work of the Chemical Analyst. Though the dream of the aneient al chemist of transmuting, base metals into nobler ones has never been real- ized, the chemist of this era can ac complish marvels that almost surpass belief. The skilled toxicologist, reveals enly faint traces exist, by removing them from their surrevndings, with solvents, requiring hours, days and sometimes weeks for the separation; exciting them to form combinations | with other elements, he causes them to appear in solid liquid or gaseous con- ditions. Many of them he ‘ays in varied colors, or in erysialline shapes, seen distinctly by the achromatic or apochromatic lenses of the microscope. Others he volatilizes in flame, and he views their incandescent vapors thyengh the prisms of the spectroscope. Brilliantly tinted and sharply defined lines in focalities accurately noted, re- veal the existence of metals so trifling tm quantity that they elude measure- ment by the balance, with all its mod- ern refinements, and so small that the human brain can scarce imprison the thought of their minuteness. Te take one example: Suppose the finger is wetted with a drop of saliva and feuched to a salt of lithium, and the aduerent white powder is placed on the tongue and then swallowed After tue lapse of a few minutes, on drawing a clean platinum wire over the forehead or any part of the skin, then placing it with its traces of moist- ure in a Brunsen flame in front of the narrow slit of the spectroscope, an ob- server, looking through ti little tele scope of the instrument, will see for a fraction of a second the bright-col- ored red and yellow lines character- sstic of lithium. The soluble salt has passed through the entire circulatory system of the body, and its presence is announced in the pe: ion!—R, Ogden Doremus in the Forum.

The discussion on this sub ject is perennial, and still people live and thrive en both diets.

The miners nre strong, anaemia is unknown among them, and it is stated that they would be among the finest specimens of humanity were it not that they give themselves up te alcoholic excesses three or four times a week, and cousequently are subject te fevers and liver diseases.

It was a patch of sand just out of the water, but you ought to see the flocks of sea fowl that nestled on it! They had to move out of the way to give us room to stay there and that was about all they would do. Their nesis were everywhere, and there were eggs in abundance. We ate about a barrel of them every day curing the twelve days we were there. Some of us sot off in % boat and went to San Juan, in Nica- cagua, where he got a vessel to go after those we left on the reef. That vessel was commanded by William Lawrence of Bath, who was killed by a man called Wilkinson while he was a policeman there. We tried to get to the reef, but bad weather stove us up so we had to set in for New Or- leans, where we fourd the rest of the men rescued by another vessel. But eggs——” the cld man’s face took on a peculiar expression. HUNTING WITH A MIRROR. Effect of Reflected Light Upon Birds aud Rabbits in the Woods. A taxidermist at Northwood, N. Y., has been making experiments as to the effect of light refiected in a bird's eyes. A glass seven or eight inches in diam- eter has been found most serviceable. The antics o° blue jays are remarka- | ble wher. the light strikes them as they sit in the shadow of an evergreen tree. They jump to another branch and try to look into the light, but they have to turn away, as the light dazzles them. Then they fly around the reflection but after practice one is able to keep the light always on them, and the birds not infrequently come within the reach of a man’s hand. A ruffed grouse gives a startled look when the lignt strikes it. Then up it jumps, and away it goes. Hawks, too, are usually startled or annoyed so that they fly off. Woodpeckers don’t seem | to mind it at all. Rabbits blink and stare at a glass for a while, then they go around a stump and sit up again, as if waiting for the light to play tag with them.—New York Sun. Choosing a Life Partner. The Washington Star tells the fol- lowing iale of a girl with an eye to the main chance: “It was a difficult matter to raake “TI understand that both are very bright.” “Yes. They’re inventors.” “There is something noble in that profession. I cannot think without the profoundest admiration of these men who harness the giant forces of nature to do the bidding of the human will.” “Yes. That sentiment applies to William. He’s at work on a flying ma- chine and a new kind of electric en- gine. But one can’t buy moquette car- pets and dining-room chairs with fine theories, you know” “Aren’t you going liam?” “No. Iaccepted John. He’s going to be a rich man. He has an invention under way for fastening on suspender buttons so they can’t come off.” to marry Wil- ; The Ice Sheet et the Seuth Pole. i According to Dr. James Crol!’s esti- mate, the ice sheet at the South Pole is at this age several miles in thickness, its upper surface bé@ing above the line of perpetual snow, and therefore not capable of melting away during the warm eras succeeding glacial periods. Further, when such a mass of ice is again incrusted about the earth’s sur- face, as some geologists believe may be the case in the process of time, the con- sistent suppositicn is that as soon as it begins to yield once more to the in- fluence of a milder atmosphere, as its counterpart did long ages ago, the same process of flooding great areas of the earth will be repeated, and the same remarkable evidences of the vresence of seas and oceans that no longer endure will be left behind. The theory entertained by Alfred Russel Wallace is much to the point, namely, that as a past glacial age was melting into the tertiary period, the seas in the nerthern hemisphere covered a much larger area than now, ond extended across central Europe and parts of western Asia, and the Arctic Ocean was likewise enlarged. It is weli known, by geological evidences not ad- mitting of any question, that the low- lands of Europe were submerged and that the Baltic, Caspian, and neighbor- ing seas were simply a part of the vast Atlantic Ocean, instead of being landlocked waters as they are zuw, REMI PEER RC I am the only Watch Maker % % He | was an old man and he straightened | Duluth Superar& Westen Time Card. 11:40am Ar We.
