WONDERS will never cease. Weston
the man who could not issue challenge
without being derided, whose greatest
feats heretofore, have been in promising
great things has actually succeeded in
beating the best record ever made in
pedestrianism. He has performed the
unprecedented feat Of walking $50 miles
in six days, and brought back to Ameri
ca the Ashley belt. England is suffering
in her contest with brother Jonathan, il
racing scUlling and walking. Rowell
has challenged Weston for another walk.
OF course Weston's late performance
will now give him sufficient backing,
though the fellow is mighty "onsartin. "

A BOILER exploded at a mining village
named East Texas in Pennsylvania, on
Saturday morning. A number of the
men were standing about the boiler
when the explosion took place. Four
were instantly killed, three fatally in
jured and a number wounded. The
boiler house was torn to fragments, a
portion Of the boiler was thrown 200
feet and a stable one hundred feet
away was demolished. The bodies
of those killed were frightfully mangled.
One had his head torn from his body
and it was picked up 80 feet from where
the body was found. The boiler was a
poor one and the company was notified
three months ago that it was not safe.

DIVING F0Rs PENNIES.

There is nice little public square which
lies on the water side OF a prominent street
in certain city, and fronts the public
buildings. Whenever we would go-on q
pleasant morning. afternoon or evening
TO this square, TO sit by the stone boat
stair, or to stand on the sea-w wall and view
the lovely water with its changing hues of
green, its yachts, its ships aud MI its busy
smaller craft, there would certainly come
to us two. three, or II dozen little black
boys with the entreaty, please, boss,
give us a small dive If I happened to
have any change, and wished to see some
funny work in the water, put my hand in
my pocket, and instantly every little black
boy jerked Off his shirt, 1t is no trouble
for them to undress. The very little ones
wear only q small shirt and straw hat.
Sometimes there is not much muslin in
this shirt, but they ars always particular to
nave it come down low enough to cover
,he breast bone. If | find penny toss
t into the water, and instantly every
!arkey boy, clad i'll nothing but his scanty
rousers, plunses i'll after it. Sometimes
sIry little fellow catches it before it
caches the bottom, and it is never long
lefore some fellow comes up with the
money in bis mouth. Sometimes when q
DIN is rot rea lily found, it is curious to
ook down through the clear water and see
lie young rascals moving their legs and
rms about down ut the bottom like lot
# enormous brown frogs.

A SINGULAR FACT.

A recent traveller in Mexico, who visited
the mines there during his journey, says
that lie was much astonished at seeing the
men who carry the ore come out of the
mine each with one eye shut. The fore
man, seeing his surprise, explained the
matter. He said the candles belonging to
the turateros (who drill aud blast) do not
give sufficient light in the drifts, where it
is consequently quite dark, but where,
nevertheless, the tarateros see well enough
not to run their heads against the rocks.
But, on emerging into daylight, they
would be blinded did they not take pre-
cautionary III easures. For this reason, as
they approach the mouth of the shaft, at
the point where they catch the first
glimpse of light, they drop the eyelid of
one eye, and keep this down while they
are discharging their ore and until they
have descended the Shaft. When they
are again in the dark, they open the eye
kept hitherto in reserve, and at once see
everything distinctly; while the other eye,
previously open and somewhat blinded by
daylight perceives nothing at all.

RUDE, FINE SCULPTOR.

A bust of Lapeyrouse, or rather the
block of marble for it, had powerful in.
duence on the artists future career. The
Government had given the marble, which
was larger than necessary, so Rude cut q
piece of which had the shape of q prism.
The possession of this piece of marble
was constant stimulus to the poor sculp.
tor. "Make something of mel !" it said to
him continually; and the answer was
always, "What can make of such an
oddly shaped block as thee?" At length,
after much pondering, it occurred to Rude
that there was just room in it for little
Neapoitan fsher-boy playing with tor
toise; and as soon as the idea had suggest
ed itself, he determined to carry it into
execution. have not said much hitherto
about the sculptor's wife. Some charac.
ters describe themselves better in an au-
thentic sentence than the art Of the bio.

LEATHER.

Leather has long history. II IL is O
too exclusive motto that ''thereis nothing
like leather" few manufactured things
are older. 1t was probably the very first
bit of manufacture-rude,y yet suited to its
purpose, the use of bark for hardening and
preserving skins having, no doubt, been
practiced in prehistoric times. Even our
progenitor-the ancient B.iton-used o.
strong hide thong to throw his stones
with, and was scanti!y clad in leather-an.
ticipating the odd desire of George Fox,
The founder of Quakerism. Within the
period of authentic history. leather has
been legislated for and protected, and has
often be n included in sumptuary regua-
tions. 1t lis very odd to read that in Eng
land in the sixteenth century complaints
were made that skins were tanned in three
weeks, (thus unconscionably shorten
'i'g tile period of use and wont, which
had been about one year, and that in
consequence an act was pissed in 1913
prohibiting tanners from selling hides that
were not attested to have been nine
months in the tan-pit And the jealousy
of rival guilds, which did something in
old days to secure the division of labor,
if nothing more, is also seen in the history
of leather. In 1859 tanners were rrolib-
tied from being shoemakers, while in
1862 butchers were precluded from be-
coming tanners under penalty. Some Of
the restrictions which surrounded the
Ieather-manufacture actually remained un-
til 1880, when they were completely re-
moved by an act of George ". Free
trade in tanning, then introduced, gave an
immense impetus to the application aud
extension of the chemical discoveries which
had been made by Segnin in 1895, and
by Sir Humphry Davy in 1903. .--Good

A MATTER OE CALCULATION.

Marriage brokers are quite important
business men in Genoa. They have
pocket-books filled with the names of the
manageable girls of the different classes,
with notes of their figures, personal attrac-
tions, fortunes, etc. These brokers 60
about endeavoring to arrange connections;
and when they succeed they get COM
mission of two or three per cent. upon the
portion. Marriage at Genoa is quite q
matter of calculation, generally settled
by the parents or relations, who often
draw up the contract before the parties
have seen one another; and it is only
when everything else is arranged, and a
few days previous to tho marriage cere-
mony, that the future husband is intro
duced to his intended partner for life.
Should he find fault with her manners OF
appearance, he may break of the match on
condition of defraying the brokerage aud
any other expenses incurred.

THE FIRST ARTIFICIAL PR ECfoUs
STONES.

The first precious stone reproduced, not
only in its appearance but its real nature,
and in all its component parts, is the lapis.
lazuli, the sapphire of the ancients, not to
be confounded with the sapphires of our
modern jewelers.. This untransparent
stone, of a magnificent azure-blue color,
was most highly priced by the ancient
Hindoos, Assyrians, Persi,.ns, Jews, Egyp.
tians, Greeks, ETC.; and this irrefragably
refutes the erroneous theory of some
archeologists that the ancents were unable
to distinguish the blue color. When pull
verised, this stone furnishes the surpass.
ingly beautiful ultranlarine color with
which the artists of the middle ages de.
lighted to paint, the mantle or gown of the
Virgin Mary, although they had to pay the
most extravagant prices for the pigment,
which they always charged in the bills of
those who had ordered q sacred picture
from them. Some fifty or sixty years ago,
Gmelin, the German chemist, discovered
that the most beautiful blue colors could
be artifcially produced by heating argil-
laceous earth with soda, sulphur, and car
bon; and now that Guimet, the French
chemist, has practically introduced this
process, Europe manufactures annually
about 100, ,00o, 900 pounds of this pigment
most of which is produced in Gernany.-

THnE CAUSE.

The seemingly incredible story that in
Florida oysters are to he found growing
on trees is explained as follows: The
mangrove tree, which abounds in many
places, sends its shoots from the limbs
downward to the earth, when they take
root frequently in considerable depth OF
water, and during high tide the oysters
become attached to them, so that when
the waters recede with the ebb tide the
oysters are hanging to the limbs some dis.
lance above water. Usually there is no
current in these lagoons and the water
rises and falls with the winds, which, blow
ing steadily in one direction for days at a
time, drive the waters before them from
one part of the lagoon to another, leaving
II section submerged which has for days
or weeks been above water until change
of wind reverses the process.
