"Old Probabilities" !"

Gen. Albert J. Myer, chief of the
Signal Service Department, is jokingly
known as the mysterious g Old Proba-
bilities." whose phrophecies in the
morning papers everybody consults
before making their plans for the day.
Gen. Myer, with half-a-dozen other
scientific men, crossed the continent q
year ago, to take observations of the
eclipse of the sun from the summit of
Pikes's Peak.
A female correspondent of New
York paper watched their preparations
with breathless eagerness. At last she
proffered her request. "Could she go
into their observatory and stand beside
them during the eclipse?'
Gen. Myer looked annoyed; then his
eye twinkled. "On one condition,
madam. That you do not speak for
half an hour"
She accepted the offer with gulp
of determination. At the end of five
minutes after the commencement of the
eclipse, futtering of skirts was heard.
The lady fled, and was not seen again.
Gen. Myer ought to be able to man
age one troublesome woman, as he has
organized the most efficient and COM
plex meteorological service in the
world. To furnish the daily weather
bulletin, which a boy reads with a
glance of the eye. stations are main
tained all over the United States, In
each of these stations, seven times
day observations are made of the heat,
weight and moisture of the air, the
speed of the wind, the rainfall, the kind
and speed of the clouds. These OBJ
servations are sent to Washington.
From all quarters of the globe, simi-
lar reports come in, to the number OF
one thousand forty-four daily. These
furnish the materi i from which are
made the warnings and predictions OF
the weather for each day.
The men who make these observations
do it sometimes at the risk OF health
and life. A station was maintained on
top of Pixies Peak during season 80
inclement that prayers were offered In
the churches below for the safety OF the
two officers.
Frederick Meyer was sent on this
service to the North Pole. He made
daily observations for more than a year.
He, with part of the crew. was de-
serted by the ship, and foated through
the night and horror of an arctic winter
on foe of ice that was melting beneath
them every hour.
When found by the ship 7fgress,
"they were more like CHASTITY corpses
than living men," Yet through all this,
the officer did not discontinue his
work one day. All honor to these
heroes who do their duty when no man
looks on.

The Study of the Stars.

w. B. Stearns, President of Amherst
College, in his book, "Ecce C9lum,' y
says: "The great book of nature is the
heavens, which it is joy and an ex-
altation to peruse; such natural and
truthful book-one that is so acceptable
to all, not a part. Its outspread pages
invite study by day and by night. 1t is
now an interpreted book. The inter
pretations were hard. Great men, per-
severing men, and many of them have
been ingaged in the work for long ages.
The results are before the world. Once
men could not see an eclipse and shoot
ing stars without inferring some dire
calamity. Now humanity does not
tremble at the signs of heaven. The
progress of astronomical science has
freed us from our superstitious terrors.
We leave such foolish things to centu-
ries long past. To the science of stars
we owe the safety and audacity with
which unlimited canvas now stretches
on the widest seas in the darkest nights.
"This science is worth more than all
the fictions and poems the world has
ever seen. The chief theorems of as
tronomy are more lofty than Milton or
Homer. It is a poem as well as a
science-the best example of polished
completeness, and the noblest specimen
we have of an epic poem. Look at the
mighty secrets that men have wrested
! out of that strrry page above US ! That
ancient sentiment should be often re-
peated: THE undevout astronomer is
mad Node can tell us how ancient as
tronomy is, as science. Neither history
nor tradition carries us back to its be-
ginning. The first clear view of it
dates back about three thousand years
before Christ. Some claim Chaldsa
for its birthplace, others Egypt, and
some India, the latter having the most
ancient astronomical tables"

DEATH OF A RoBBER KING.-Rosza
Sander. the robber king of Hungary,
has Just died in prison at the age of
sixty-fve. He exceeded in courage,
success and picturesqueness both his
father and grandfather, noted brigands,
and his generosity toward the poor, his
chivalry toward women, and the reck-
lessness with which he attacked the po-
lice and military in broad daylight
made him sort of national hero. Few
mobiles travelled thirty years ago with
out conciliating him by formal pay
ment of blackmail. In 1886 he was i'm
prisoned. but escaped with the assis-
tance of his mistress, whose husbands
brains he had previously blown out.
Kossuth gave him pardon in 1S48,
when he did good service as patriot
leader. In 1859 he was again arrested
through the treachery of member Of
his band, whom he killed as his cap
tors approached, but in 1S64a general
amnesty sent him free. In 1868 he
again fell into the hands of the authori-
ties, among his accomplices being sew
eral high civic functionaries, and he
died in prison.

MischievOus Reading

The amount of pernicious literature
that is sold upon the news-stands IN
this country is enormous and frightful.
The utterly bad sensational papers that
are published in the city of New York
alone have an aggregate weekly circu-
lation of not less than half million
copies. These are almost all sold at
news-stands. Besides these, all our
chief cities produce more or less of this
sort of literature added to which, the
dime novels aud fashy stories prepared
for these wayside markets make up a
vast mass of moral corruption.
The mixture that one sees upon the
counters of the newsdealer is often a
curious one. All varieties of periodi-
cal literature are represented here but
it is quite too plain which variety is
in demand, and on which the dealer
makes his largest gain. There is lit
tie flat pile of the Nation, and a few
shop-worn copies of the North american
Rerieac; the leading magazines indicate
a larger demand, and the recent cheap
publications of novels in newspaper
form are present in still greater force !;
but the Pictorial Pander and the HAS
t'ated Scamps Gazette are on hand in
quantities, and if you happen to be near
when the weekly supply arrives you
will see the class of persons that read
them. Boys and young men, from
twelve years of age upwards not a
few shop-girls, alas! and here and there
a man who has grown old in sin, and
who seeks to kindle his burnt-out pas
sions with this coarse fuel,-they are
all waiting for the bundle to be opened,
and eagerly make off with their copies
as fast as the dealer can fold them.
The damage that is done by this pes
tilential literature,-the belittling and
enervating effect of it upon the minds
of those who read it, the false direction
that it gives to all their ideas of life, the
familiarity with debauchery and crime
into which it brings them, the bad line
of conduct that it suggests to them.
who could undertake to tell? Probably
not less than two millions of the youth
of our land are fed weekly upon this
moral carrion. What sorts of hus-
bands, wives, parents, neighbors, voters
does it produce, think you 9-Sundoy

The Deep Sea.

At recent meeting of the Christiana
Society of Science, Robert Collett stated
that the deep-water fishes collected dur
ing the last Atlantic expedition amount
ed to thirty three species and proved to
be of great interest to science, as the
fish had. with few exceptions, been
taken from depths from which no Arctic
fishes had previously been obtained.
The apparatus employed was the So
called trawl-net, constructed on the
same principle as that employed by the
English fishermen on Doggersbank.
Fish were taken up with that apparatus
from depths of l, 400 and ], 500 fathoms.
Five species proved to be entirely new
to science, and it was necessary to classi
fy one of them under a new genus.
This was caught at depth of l 200 faith
oms, and was about one foot long.
While alive, it was beautifully rose
colored all over, but of so soft and gel
atinous a substance that it was half
transparent, and the heart could be
seen performing its functions; and
large portions of the brain, the entrails
and the whole backbone were visible
through the skin. The abdominal fins
we're transformed into two long, split
threads, which gave the fish very Pc
culiar appearance. 1t was named Rhod-
ichtys Regina, and belongs to group
of the genuine deep water fishes which
is chiefly limited to the tropic seas.
A "RoUND UP" ON A COLORADO
CATTLE RANCH.-As in more primitive
days the different herds ranged inter-
mingled over the public domain, so do
they now stray from ranch to ranch.
and at certain seasons of the year they
must be collected and separated. They
are distinguished by ear-marks, and
more especially by brands, said brands
being conclusively and universally ac-
cepted evidence of ownership. In June
and July, and in September and Octo-
ber, rounding up" or the grand col
lection and separation takes place. For
each district master or director of the
Ground up is chosen, whose orders
are implicitly obeyed by the working
force, consisting of from twenty to
fifty men, furnished by the ranchmen
of the district in proportion to their
holdings. They have two or three
horses apiece, and are accompanied by
assistants, herders, cooks, etc., etc.
Starting from given point, taking a
regular course, and camping every
night, they sweep over the ranges.
Each day they round up )" the horse
men scour the country, and, with the
skill coming from long practice, gather
the cattle together. In vain does the
restive steer break away and run back
or aside the skillful horseman is ready
for him, the trained horse "turns on a
tive-cent piece" and he is headed off
and must yield to his fate, and move on
he pre-ordained track. The Ground
takes place sometimes at cor
or large inclosure, sometimes on
open plain.-A. A. HAYES, Jr., in

A Distinction With o Difference.

Alady who recently arrived in this
CITY from Japan, where her husband Is
a fourishipg physician, has had a most
amusing experience. Before leaving
Toxic she purchased material for q
travelling dress, for which she paid Z l.5O
per yard. She had it fashioned into a
garment, and proceeded blissfully on
h,r journey. Arriving in San Francisco,
she found the fabric of which her dress
was composed was selling for 81 per
yard. Her appreciation of it therefore
decreased one-third. At Salt Lake City
the same article vas selling for 60 cents,
and she began to think that she did not
look at all stylish. When she reached
Chicago she found it displayed in the
shop windows with the announcement.
''Only 80 cents" She began then to
consider it common, but when from her
carriage window as she proceeded up
Third Avenue, New York, she beheld it
Haunting in the breeze in front of a
third-rate shop, with q soiled card
pinned to it, on which was inscribed the
legend, "15 cents" she concluded tha.
it was vulgar. She could endure it no
longer. She gave it to the chamber
maid at the hotel, and then proceeded
at once to Stewards and bought a new
travelling suit to come to Boston with
Boston Courier.

A Burglar Who Knew More Than .
Judge.

The Windsor (Vt.) correspondent of
the New York Sun says: A man about
IS wears old was arrested for q burglary
committed at the store of Robbins &
Marsh, at North Chester, Vt. At his
trial he gave his name as John Ham,
mond, or California Jack" and prov
ed himself an interesting character.
Although young attorney was assign
ed him he conducted his own case. At
the impaneling of the jury he inquired
of each of them whether he would have
any conscientious scruples against &C
quitting . prisoner should it be shown
that he had been ironed, hand and foot,
and dragged ell over New York and
Vermont. During the progress of his
trial he would interrupt a witness with
"You need not answer; l object" ETC.,
and when overruled by the Judge, who
was 3 member Of the Supreme Court
Jack would take exceptions to his rul-
ings, and upon these he appealed to the
Supreme Court, recently held at Wood
stock, before which he won his point
and obtained . new trial. His versatii.
ity, shrewdness and legal knowledge are
q subject of much comment among the
legal fraternity. California Jack has
been confined in the Windsor State
Prison, As no other prison VA deemed
safe against his experienced efforts to
escape.

Why A Horse Baked

A Hartford man recently bought q
young horse for $500. Within . week
or two the horse began to act badly,
and finally developed such q balky dis
position that the new owner could do
nothing with him. Persuation of every
kind and finally severe bea;ings were re-
sorted to, but still the horse remained
stubborn. At last,in q desperate mood,
the horse was taken to the original owner
who bought him back for S25. The
cause of the whole trouble VA soon dis
covered. The horse had been broken
to wear q names collar, and had never
worn any other kind-his owner had
put a breast-collar on him after using
him q little while, and no one " happen
ed to think" that this change had pro-
duced the sudden obstinacy in the ami
NAL. Wearing the collar to which he
had been accustomed, the horse is all
night again, md the gentleman who has
got him back at q profit of e175 in six
weeks, considers him worth fully 500
again.-Neu-H Karen Palladium.
