and the house was in perfect order from

fact which know the wives aud daugh-

DEATH OF A NOTED CHEsSPLAYER

DEATH OF A NOTED CHESSPLAYER.
Howard Staunton, the weil-known
chess-player and Shakspearian scholar.
died recently in London. He was born
in 1910, studied at Oxford, settled HIM
self in London, and devoted himself to
literature. He studied chess and be-
came an admirable player. In 1913,
when st. Armand was proclaimed the
champion chess-player of Europe, Mr..
Staunton challenged him, proceeded to
Paris to play, and won the great match.
He was indisputably the first player in
Europe, but when Morphy went to En-
gland in 1854 Staunton fought shy of
him, and a match could never be ar
ranged between them. They played
once, however. in a consultation game.
It was, if we mistake not, Staunton and
the late Mr.. Bird on one side, and
Morphy and an eminent English player
on the other. The Morphy side won.
Staunton was the author of several ex-
cellent works on chess, and also edited
an edition of Shakespeare which is very
highly esteemed.

THE BACHELOP'S SURPRISE.

rain and snow forming a disagreeable
sort of conglomeration on the sidewalks,

sullenly through the mist, and the
wind taking one viciously, as one came
round the corner Not a pleasant
evening to assume possession OF a new
home ; but necessity knows no law, and
Mr.. Barkdale put up his night key into

to light a fire in the CRATE.
SIS ii. you, sir?" Mrs. Human
quoth, beamingly. There's a good

"All right, Ell - said the bachelor,

to see whether it had escaped being
frozen off entirely. We'll, I'm glad to
hear that. Have the trunks Gomez"

"What other things" demanded
Mr.. Barkdale.

Rather an eccentric old lady,"
thought Mr.. Ba,kdale, pushing past her
to the third-story front room, which he
had solemnly engaged the day before.
1t had been a rather dark and dingy
little den by the Light of the moon, but
now, softened by the coral shine Of a
well-flled CRATE, it quite another
and n brighter aspect.
"Velvet paper on the walls, gilt pam
cling, red carpet, and a Sleepy Hollow
chair" thought Mr.. Barkdale, glancing
around. "Not 80 uncomfortable, after
all. When I get my things unpacked,
il will seem quite homelike."
He set down his valise in the corner,
deliberately opened it, took out a pair
of slippers, and invested his tired feet
therein. Next he laid off his overcoat.
"Now for a cigar" thought he.
But the brown layered weed was yet
in his hand, when there was a hustle
and a tiutter and 4 whisper and a merry
noise on the landing outside, and the
door flew open, as if by magic, to admit
half-a-dozen blooming, laughing girls.
Mr.. Barkdale dropped his cigar and
retreated a step or two.
Don't be alarmed" said the tallest
and prettiest of the bevy ; cts only a

"a very agreeable one, I'm sure"
said our friend, recovering in some de-
gree his presence of mind.
"There's no mistake, l hope" said
a yellow-tressed blonde. "Your name
is not Greenfield?"
"No mistake at all, / assure you,"
said Mr.. Barkdale. "Of course it is
not Greenfield. Sit down, ladies'"
And he pushed forward the Sleepy
Hollow chair, a camp-stool, and two
rheumatic reception chairs, which We're
all the accommodations presented by
his apartment.
But, insteado of accepting his courtesy,
the girls all fattered out again, gig

SUBMARINE DISCO TERIES.

The submarine survey of a portion of
the bed of the Pacific, which has been
proposed as the line of the Geographic
cable of Japan, has revealed inequalities
that may well cool the confidence of the
most ardent protector. One ridge of
sub-oceanic mountain ranges from 5000
to Il, 900 feet in height. The apexes of
these cones are covered with lava and
coral, so hard that the sounding cyhn-
der is indented by impact. Manifestly
it will never do to lay a cable on such
in n straight line, as the strain and
abrasion which would result from its
suspension between such steep and
jagged peaks would be fatal to its op-
erative integrity in a very short time.
A protracted and accurate survey and
careful charting Of the Pacific bed will
be necessary, and, after all, the line
will have to be so zigzag and tortuous
as to consume hundreds of miles of e1-
ira cable.
