0 A Pupil of LisZt.N

The greatest Of pianists, Liszt, is very
amiable and quite eccentric. The fol.
lowing story sets forth the genial side of
his nature. A young pianist was giving
concerts through the provinces of Ger
many for her support. To enhance her
reputation she deceitfully advertised
herself as pupil of Liszt.
In little town, where she had an
nounced concert, she was confounded
the day before the concert was to take
place, by seeing in the list of arrivals,
and at the very hotel where the concert
was to be given, "M. Liable Liszt."
Here was dilemma. Her fraud would
be discovered. Tremblingly she sought
the presence Of the great maestro.
Coming into his room with downcast
eyes, she knelt at the old mans feet,
and with many tears told her story
how she had been left an orphan and
poor, with only one gift of music with
which to support herself; the difficulties
she had encountered, until the fraudul-
ent use of his great name had filled her
rooms and her purse.
"Well, well," said the great man,
gently raising her up, "let us see, my
child, what we can do. Perhaps it is
not SO bad as you thought. There is a
piano; let me hear one of the pieces you
expect to play tomorrow evening""
Tremblingly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions as
she played, and when she had finished,
he added, "Now, my child, I have given
you lesson; you are pupil of Liszt. "
Before she could find words to express
her gratitude, Liszt asked, "Are your
programmes printedP"
"No, sir" was the answer, "not
yet"
"Then say that you will be assisted
by your master, and that the last piece
on the programme will be played by the
Able Liszt."
That concert, it may be readily be.
lieved, was great success.

Motion of Molecules.

Prof. Cook states in the Science
Monthly certain ideas about the motions
of molecules in the atmosphere, which
seem 80 strange as to suggest the poetry
of science rather than it's prose. He
says, "The molecules of our atmosphere
move on an average nearly four (3.S(
times slower than those of hydrogen
under the same conditions; but then
they weigh on an average fourteen and
a half times more than hydrogen MOLE
cules, and therefore strike with as great
energy.
"Do not think that the effect of these
blows is insignificant because the mole
cular proiectiles are SO small they
make up by their number for what they
want in size.
"Consider, for example, cubic yard
of air, which, if measured at the freezing
point, weighs considerably over two
pounds.
"That cubic yard of material contains
over two pounds of molecules, which
are moving with an average velocity of
one thousand six hundred and five feet q
second, and this motion is equivalent in
SN6Iy ISSpSCb W Ulldb Vi u CthuOu-pull vi
equal weight, rushing along its path at
the same tremendous rate.
"Of course this is true of every cubic
yard of air at the same temperature;
and if the motion of the molecules of the
atmosphere around us could by any
means be turned into one and the same
direction, the result would be hurri.
cane sweeping over the earth with this
velocity, - that is, at the rate of one
thousand and ninety-four miles an hour,
whose destructive violence not even the
pyramids could withstand.
"Living as we do in the midst of a
molecular tornado capable of such
effects, our safety lies wholly in the cir
cumstance that the storm beats equally
in all directions at the same time, and
the force is thus so exactly balanced
that we are wholly unconscious of the
tumult.
"Not even the aspen leaf is stirred,
nor the most delicate membrane broken;
but let us remove the air from one of
the surfaces of such membrane, and
then The power of the molecular storm
becehles evident, as in the familiar ex-
perilnents with an air pump"

The Yosemite Valley.

The Yosemite Valley is situated in
the heart of the Sierra Nevada, about
1856 miles in direct line east OF San
Francisco. The valley is nearly level
area, about six miles in length and from
a half mile to a mile in width, sunk
almost O. mile in perpendicular depth
below the general level of the adjacent
region. Through the center of this
valley runs the Merced River, passing
for twenty miles after leaving the valley
proper through a grand canyon, the
scenery here almost equalling this won
derful valley. Because this canyon IS
approached by only a narrow trail, but
very few tourists travel the full length
of the river to view the cascades and
lofty water falls of this wonderful region.
From time immemorial the Yosemite
Valley had been regarded by the Indian
tribes living on both the western aud
eastern slopes of the Sierras as strong
hold, or place of refuge in time OF
trouble. In 1850, the white settlers
who lived on the streams which head in
this region, finding themselves unable
to remain in peace with these Indians,
organized for their protection military
company, and in 1851 pursued party
of the savages that had been committing
depredations into the Yosemite, where
they had taken refuge. From that date
until the present time the valley has
been resorted to yearly by hunters and
pleasure seekers from all parts of the
world. Prior to 1864 there was only
one actual settler in the valley. Now it
teens with life, and three or four hotels
roomy enough to accommodate comfort
ably 100 guests, have been completed
and furnished with every comfort re-
quired by the most exacting tourist
Boston Post.

PlB 5 EXPOSITION BUILDINGS.
Bio 's-Eye View of the Structures in Which
Paris's Great Show IL Held.

~
Paris's Great Show is Held.
We have obtained from DenaOreSts
Magazine the engraving representing q
bird's-eye view of the Paris Exposition
Buildings. The two principal buildings
of the Exposition are the Palace of the
Trocadero and the Main Building; but
around these vast number of smaller
structures have sprung up, extending
along the Seine as far as the Pont des
Invalides. Small buildings have also
been erected upon the broad Quai dor
say and in the open square between the
Hotel des Invalides and the Corps Legis-
latif. The Main Building is 2, 400 feet
long by $40 wide, the east and west
fronts having long machine galleries
measuring 2,310 by 120 feet. More
than half of this building is occupied by
France, and Great Britain has about
one-fourth of the remainder. The Tro-
cadero is permanent structure of stone,
semicircular in form, with towers 230
feet high, and central rotunda of vast
size, capable of seating from 5000 to
10000 persons. The grounds around are
beautifully laid out, and from the colon
made extending along the wings of the
palace there is a fine view of the park as
well as Of the Exhibition Building and
of the city itself. Concerts and other
entertainments will be held in the Tro-
cadero, and indoor fetes will be given
in the old Luxembourg Palace.
The space devoted to buildings is, it
is stated, larger than that occupied by
the edifces of all classes at Philadel-
phia. Of course the majestic beauties
of Fairmount Park are lacking, but
Paris is filled with exquisite parks and
squares; the Garden of the Tuilleries,
the Champs Elysees, and the Bois de
Boulogne, are not far from the Champ
de Mars; and on that last mentioned
field numerous beautiful gardens have
been constructed, all of which will be
filed with grateful shade, and from
every corner of which pretty views of
the Exposition can be obtained Along
the Seine on the Trocadero side, or right
bank, will extend the specimens of
national architecture. the Chinese, the
Algerion, the Spanish, the italian and
the English buildings. In the Trocadero
Park the English have erected several
quaint houses, illustrative OF the man
ner of building at certain epoch, like
those which they presented to Fairmount
Park at the close of the Centennial fes-
tival. Norway and Sweden are also re-
presented by the rustic houses for which
they are SO famous. Beyond Trocadero's
park, the once open spaces between the
plateau and the Cams LaReine are occu-
pied by booths and chalets. A high
bridge across the street furnishes COM
munication from the Trocadero with the
Pont d'Jena, and from this bridge one
can enter directly upon the Champ de
Mars.

Fashion Notes.

Changeable silks are among the sum-
mer fabrics.
Elegant parasols are made of satin
and finished with straw fringe.
Fringes of two distinct colors are put
on some of the new costumes.
New parasols are made of black mata-
lasse silk and lined with white silk.
Old fashioned yoke waists are again
III favor for dresses warranted to wash.
Silk dresses are trimmed with narrow
hounces in front, almost to the waist, at
the moment, by Worth.
Colored dress bonnets are less used
than white ones, and are almost confined
to beige and mastic shades.
| A dash of Jacqueminot red is the only
spot of bright color on many of the most
fashionable hats and bonnets.
Plain or polka dotted white silk, with
white satin trimmings and accessories,
is the bridal dress of the moment.
The trains of full dress toilets measure
three yards from the waist to the extreme
end of the train in the back.
Porte bouquets, which do double duty
as q brooch or fastening for shawl,
are seen in some of the fancy goods
stores.
The novelty in handkerchiefs is of
pale blue or rose-colored linen batiste,
with white borders scalloped to match.
Beige-colored brocaded or damassee
silk makes q beautiful waistcoat to be
worn with any dark cutaway jacket cos
tune.
Those negligee curves of hair on the
forehead and temples, o la Montague,
are becoming to young and pretty
faces only.
Everything is embroidered in Paris at
present-shoes, dresses, gloves, bon
nets, corsages, crayats, wraps and trim
mingS.
Dark blue cutaway suits, with waist
coats and silk skirts made very plain,

swallo w-tailed jacket, and leads an Eng
lish pug with silver chain and blue
ribbon.
Cardinal capes reaching to the elbow
OF S.cilienne, and trimmed with futings
of black French lace, are fashionable
light wraps.
Balbriggan stockings are seen in lead
ing hosiery departments, hair-lined hor-
izontally in color and checked on the
sides in the same.
Belize and mastic gray tulle wells, dot
ted with chenille, are worn around the
crowns of dressy bonnets, crossing in
the back and made to form strings.
Amber beads strung at intervals on
black silk fringes are effectively used
for trimming black Sicillienne mantles
intended for ceremonious occasions.
Worth's latest dresses are short,
sh cath the form in front, but have
small paniers in the back, or looped
draperies formed by catching up the
demi train.
The novelties in children's hats are
pagoda-shaped crowns, peaked Mansard-
roof CROWDS, and sharp -gabled crowns.
Their names are Pekin, Alps, Mercedes,
Savoy, and Chin-Chin.
White Swiss and organdy toilets,
trimmed with fine Mirecourt torchon
lace, are to ba worn over colored lawn or
Silesia slips for summer fetes, flower
shows, afternoon concerts and croquet
parties.

Fires in Play Houses.

From the year 1869, when the Teatro
Della Carita, in Venice, was consumed
by the flames, up to the end of 1877,
523 theaters have been completely de-
stroyed by fire. Classic authors also
chronicle the destruction by fire of
eleven Roman theaters. Astley's Amphi-
theater, London, has been burned down
four times Q794, 1903, 1880, 184D; !;
Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and Her
Majesty's, have each been consumed
three times; and of existing London
theaters seven have been destroyed.
No less than thirty -one fires in London
theaters are thronicled, the next largest,
(twenty-nine) being recorded in the case
of Paris, while New York followed with
twenty-six, and modern San Francisco
with the astounding number of twenty
one. An old chronicle records that the
Teatro Atarazanos, in Seville, was
burned down in 1918 for the sixth time,
that it was erected in 1881, and that it
was consumed for the seventh time in
1876. Among the most disastrous fires
recorded is that of the Theater of Capo
d'Istria, in 1894, when about 1000 per-
sons were burned to death. Nearly 800
were killed in the fire which broke out
in Lehman's Theater and Circus at st.
Petersburg, on February IA, 1886. On
May 25, 1845, at Canton, Chinese
theater caught fire. AS usual there, the
structure consisted only of bamboo,
mats, boards, and light stuff, the whole
being surrounded by four walls, and
only one exit being provided. OF the
many spectators, only few were able
to save themselves. The Mandarin, in
his official report, stated that 1870
corpse had been found, and that there
were no less than 1000 persons injured,
of whom 300 expired shortly after.
Another disastrous fire in China was
that of Tientsln, in May, 1872, when 600
people persisted.

The captain gave cry; he sank down
face and wept. The sobs shook him ter
ribly; they almost shook the crazy build
ing. They frightened the old woman,
and set the policeman to rubbing his
eyes with his cuffs. The boy stood and
stared for a moment, and then vanished.
Aud what was the wretched father
thinking? So many thoughts that there
are no words for them; but first of all
this horrible one-that that vile little
object, that wretched child of the streets,
was the darling for whom he had searched
so long.
"Better I had never found him, :"
moaned the captain, "or found him
dead |"
And just then little hand crept over
his knee. The thrill of hair was against
his hand, and piping voice said meekly,
"Please, I'm clean now. I've washed
myself"
The captains swollen eyes unclosed.
They turned upon the child.
Some queer knowledge of his fathers
feelings had crept into his mind, and he
had tried to clean his face. A round
white spot appeared amidst the CRIME,
and out of it shone two beautiful blue
eyes that looked wistfully up into the
captains.
All of a sudden, flood of such pitt
full tenderness as he had never felt be-
fore swept over Captain Penryn's heart.
All the grief and shame and wounded
pride left it, to come back no more.
"Ellen's eyes," he sobbed; "Ellen's
boyl' and took his son to his heart. "For
his sake," he said, softly, as though he
stood by the grave of the beautiful dream
child he had just buried" for his sake
and Ellen's p
And then he led the child away with

A tremendous explosion lately took
place in the torpedo factory of the Rus
sian Government at Otchakof, near
Croustadt; where several hundred men
were employed at the time. The work
shops, the naval laboratory, and the
storage houses, containing in addition
to torpedoes an immense quantity of
pyroziline, were blown to pieces and
scattered to great distances. The con-
cussion was felt for miles, and it was
thought that the English had opened a
furious bombardment. The powder was
removed from the magazine of the garri-
son before the flames reached it. All
houses within circumference of two
miles were more or less damaged. Dur
ing the following day peasants brought
fragments of the disaster from dis
tance of five miles, and steamers arrived
which had picked them up ten miles out
at sea. The cause of the explosion was
thought to have been spontaneous COM
bustion. Twelve persons only were
killed.
