Intrepidity of kean.

OF kcan's early skill as fencer one
aneedote must be recorded, as marking
not only his quickness of eye and dex-
teritv of hand, but also his calmness,
intrepidity and self-command. He was
one day, when quite stripping, op-
posed in the academy to man who was
celebrated for the rapidity of his passes
and the certainty of his hits. kean,
however, baffled all his attempts to
evade or beat down his guard; but, on
the contrary, had the mastery in sew
eral passes, which so enraged his op-
ponent, that, in sudden paroxysm OF
wrath, he struck his foil on the ground,
so as to break off the button. determln-
ed by desperate assault. to inflict ven-
geance on his conquerOr. kean per-
ceived the movement and at once saw
his danger, but with perfect composure
he awaited the attack, and, disarming
his assailant, he caught the foil as il
sprung from his hand. Then present
ing it To his treacherous antagonist,
''unabated' as it was, he bade him
.'keep his own secret" and, turning
on his heel, left the academy. This
circumstance he never mentioned for
wears afterwards, when the death OF
his opponent, whose name he even then
concealed, removed all scruple as TO the
fact itself

An Underground Forest

The authors OF the newly published
book named ''Two Thousand Miles in
Texas on Horseback, tell wonderful
story about the subterranean forests
which they observed on the prairies ly-
ing near the River Coneho, in the west
ern part of the State. ''Riding over
these vast prairies," thus the story
runs" though you will see no trees, yet
you will often see atender little switch
of the mesquit shooting few feet above
the ground. Now, stop at one of these
aud strike atits root with a pickaxe you
will expect nothing but tender. fibrous
roots; but instead of these, the pick
comes in contact with heavy, solid
body. " Surprised, you remove the
thin covering of earth, and you find a
living log as thick as a mans leg. exten-
ther around the same little shoot, you
find many logs of the same size. and an

fuel-wOod, not equaled for that purpose
by any other wood within my knowlege.
Thus these treeless plains are filled
with fuel, almost equal in its supply TO
the heaviest forests. These shoots do
not increase in size, but after attaining
certain dimension, too small to be
dreaded by an urchin, they either stand
at that or die and give place to others.
The branches of the large roots left in
the ground speedily supply the loss by
other roots as large as those taken
away" Various theories are put for
ward to account for the existence OF
these underground forests, but none
cited by the narrators of the story are
satisfactory. IL is said by some that
the burning heat of the sun has preven-
ted the growth of the trees above ground
Others urge the scarcity of rain in

A Lake of Soda Water.

a lake OF soda water known as the
Lake of Lonar, in India, has heretofore
formed the one of the most useful as
well as picturesqe features Of the Hy-
derabad Assigned Districts. The salt
collected from it has been widely used
for washing and dyeing chintzes; and
when, the dry weather, reduces the
level of the water. vast quantities OF
soda were gathered on the shore. From
an official report, however, which has
lust been issued, we gather that the sup
ply of soda now greatly exceeds the de-
mand, which, owing to the distance OF
the lake frcm the line of railway, has
always been local one. No eshsup-
plies were taken from the lake in 1876
n, az large stocks of unsold produce
remained on hand from the accsmula-
on of the preceding year.

She "Sot- Down on Him.

After making inquiries of every per-
son they met, no matter if pedestrians
were only ten feet apart, old Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones reached the Detroit Il Mil
waukee depot in good order, and were
shown into the waiting room. They
did not enter, however, until the old
man had read the sign over the door and
remarked:

You cannot deceive me longer. j can
now understand my strange attach
ment tor the Mask"
The next moment the blushing girl
was clasped i'm his arms.
A little explanation soon cleared the
mystery. Maria had spent the winter
with her aunt. who lived near Seville.
She frequently spent days in the town
with her friend, Blanche La Media, who
was really good-hearted girl. 1t was
she who had persuaded Maria TO adopt
the mask. The warning note and res
cue was merely little plot of the girls
to win the young mans gratitude. His
sudden departure frustrated their plans
and compelled Maria's hasty return
home. Maria's father was cognizant
to the plot, and Eustace vowed it was
not strange that he should have fallen
victim to the Mask.

The Monster Balloon.

The construction of the Tuileries cap
tive balloon is attracting much attention
in Paris. The necessary excavations
for the rope-winding roller, the steam
engines. pulleys etc., have modified the
appearance of the cd Tuileries yard.
A large wooden saloon has been erect
ed for the sewing of the canvas, which
is quite ready; not less than 100 girls
will be required for about a month.
The work of making the rope, which Is
almost finished, has been immense.
The weight of the netting will be 81
900 kilogrammes more than the dis
placement of the largest balloon in nse.
Besides the netting, the other ropes
connecting the car, ETC.. will weigh
900 kilogramnes, and the large rope
for mooring the balloon TO the steam
winding apparatus will be 5000 kilo-
grammes. Experiments will be made
to show that the rope can bear trac-
ton of 80, 900 kilogrammes, although il
is not intended to ascend when the eff
| fort TO move the balloon will exceed
l.. 900 kilogrammes. The real steam
power required will be 300 horsepower
The displacement of the balloon viii
vary according to its station; on th'
ground it will be 24,430 cubic meters
but floating at 600 meters in the air j
will be % 900 meters.

ACubic Mile.

Professor Berstein, an eminent natu-
ralist in Berlin, Germany, gives the
following graphic description of one
German geographical cubic mile Zone
mile equals 10, ,l26 yards, to illustrate
the size of our earth, which combines
only 2,G62 such; ''Imagine box one
mile each way-long, wide and deep
and let us try to ill it up. Berlin is
handy, we take the city as if it were a
toy, and throw it into our box. We go
TO Potsdam, pick up all the villages on
the way also, and put all in. The bot
tom is not yet covered. We will take
Paris, with all her columns, towers
and churches, which helps little, so
we must take London also. Vienna
can go in, too, and not disturb the
peace. St. Petersburg follows next.
All this stuff lies at the bottom. We
begin now to take up all the cities,
towns, villages, forts, farms, everything
that human hands have built in Europe,
and ali the ships floating on the sea. Ii
helps nothing. We must go to old and
new worlds, throw in the pyramids of
Egypt, and the railroads and factories
of America, and everything, else
made by man in Asia, Africa and
America-lo, our box is not half full
yet. We will shake up the things a
little to make them even, and as we are
bound to fill the box, let ~ see if we
cannot do it with the people and lay
them in like herrings. One row viii

one layer of $4,000, ,0OO-just enough
for North Americans. To make then

tween each layer.a bed of straw anC
leaves, say thirty feet thick, which viii

mankind are in-1 400 .OO0, 900 in abou
thirty layers. The box is now sbou

fifteen times that number of people {

r, Atkinson. captain, II. p. Hanson,
mate, and the crew numbered eight
men. They had fine weather until mid
night of January 80. At that time they
were thirty miles east of Delaware
Light-ship. A fearful gale from the
southeast then struck the vessel, and
she was hive to. She drifted to the lee
ward very rapidly, and soundings were
taken every hour. The gale continued
to increase and the sea to grow more
furious. To add to the already great
danger the soundings showed that the
water was shoaling fast. In the morn
ing they had thirty fathoms, at noon
fifteen fathoms and at p. NJ. ten IA
thoms were marked. At this time the
sea was running verv heavy, and the
ship was almost manageable. In
casting the lead, owing to the heaving
of the vessel, the mate made mistake,
thinking he had fourteen fathoms,
when in reality there were only seven.
The wind for moment died down, and
the anchor having been let go and Ia
ken hold, it was hoped that the vessel
would be able TO ride out the storm. But
in few minutes the chain parted, and
although all sail was made to keep off
the beach, the strong wind blew the
vessel up among the breakers. In de-
scribing the scene that then ensued
Mate Hanson says: 81 have been cast
adrift in an open boat with only one
biscuit to last me for long time. Death
at that time seemed to be staring me in
the face. but never felt as hopeless as
when the Rocket was among the break
ers. The vessel was completely under
water, while the breakers rolled upon
us from all directions. Ii was terri
BILE sight, such an one as | hope never
to see again. We expected evey mo-
ment that she would strike the bottom,
and every man knew that would be the
last of us. When hope seemed folly
the wind sue denly veered around to the
sou'west, and we were able 10 work
our way slowly out. The weather then
cleared and we saw Fenwick Island
| Light bearing sOu'west two miles. Al
ter getting clear we esounded pumps and

Canine Attachment.

Stories almost innumerable have been
related illustrative Of the sagacity of
the dog and its attachment TO its owner.
A remarkable and well authenticated
instance, which may not be uninterest-
ing has just come under my notice, a
having occurred some years ago in the
neighborhood of Rotterdam. a per-
son in Rotterdam obtained young
shepherd dog, which he retained for 4
long period. While in his possession it
became much attached TO the whole of
the family, and especially to two of its
masters sons. After a time circum-
stances transpired which led TO the an
imal being sent to live permanently at
the residence of a farmer at Thorpe Sal
win. After the lapse of a considerable
time one of the sons of the dog former
master paid visit TO the farm. The
dog, on seeing him, appeared to be over
joyed. and was most demonstrative in
his indications of delight. During his
STAY it would not leave him, and when
it became necessary for him 10 leave In
the evening the animal could scarcely
be restrained, and had to be chained up
in the room where the family were sit
ting. As the visitor was taking leave
of his host the poor animal howled in
the most piteous manner, and manifest
ed other unmistakable signs OF grief.
Immediately after he had left the house
the dog all at once became quiet, and,
settling down on the floor, seemed to
be asleep. The strange and sudden
change which had come over the AMI
was remarked, and, on the parties go
ing to him, he was found to be quite
dead. The singular occurrence became
well known in the neighbOrhood, and
it was regarded that the dog had died
literally heart broken. When the sam'
dog was only pup it was attacked and
whipped by bigger dog. The defeat
ed animal showed his sagacity and a
the same time his revengeful feelings
by waiting until eighteen months hao
elapsed. when it had fully grown, ant
then he lay in wait for his old adver
sary, as near as possible 20 where thu
former combat took place, and gave hi
old enemy ''drubbing" that nearly
| cost him his life
