AmA1rER.OF.FACr ROMANCE

NOW that mysterious disappear
IN ances appear to have set in with
unexampled severity, 1t will be of In
terest to recall very remarkable
instance which made great immpres-
sion on the mind of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. A gentleman whom Mr.. Haw-
thorne names Wakefield. being happily
married and dwelling In London, ,one day
hit upon the idea that he would myste-
riously disappear. There was, or at
least there is, nothing peculiar in that.
Only Mr.. Wakefield determined that he
would not disappear further than the
next street. Accordingly he took lodg-
ing in the street next adjoining that in
which his once happy home was situa-
ted, and there, lost to sight though to
memory dear, dwelt for twenty years.
During that period, our authority says,
he beheld his home every day, and fre-
quently the forlorn Mrs. Wakefield, but
was himself never recognized. After
this gap of twenty years in his matrimo-
nial felicity, when his death was accept
ed as certainty, when his estate had
been administered and his wife long re.
signed to her autumnal widowhood, he
one evening quietly knocked at the door,
walked in as If he had just arrived after
days absence in the city, and thence
forward lived loving and home staying
spouse. The advantages of this topo.
graphical arrangement are obvious, at
least as far as Mr.. Wakefield was con-
cerned. His propinquity would have
enabled him at any time to appear on
the scene, supposing his wife had been
less faithful to bis memory, and been
disposed again to embark upon matri-
mony. TO that extent he seems to have
had his wife at disadvantage, and on
the whole his conduct is not commenda-
BILE. But there Is one grain of comfort
to be derived from the story-which we
should add, is not born of the fertile
brain that weaved the weird tale of
"The House with the Seven Cables"
but was related as matter-of-fa fact in q
contemporary newspaper. 1t goes to
prove, in support of more modern and
notorious instances, that when gentle
men, and particularly married gentle
man, mysteriously disappear" there
are alternatives to the acceptance of the
theory of robbery and murder .-London

spoke afterwards. John hid the body
In dark cave In the mountains, and
there IL still remained This dream
made powerful impression upon the
young girl, and though many were dis
posed TO laugh at 1t, even while admit
ting Il told tremendously against her
brother, nothing could shake her faith
and confidence IN It's horrible reality l.
She insisted that II was true, though no
trace of the body could be found in any
of the numerous mountain caves after
most rigid search, and the vision rested
only upon her individual statement
But her faith gave ten-foId power; her
acts seemed to confirm her belief. From
that moment she was changed woman.
Slowly she pined away. The color faded
from her cheeks, giving place to q
deathly pallor her step, once light and
elastic, became slow and languid; her
eyes lost their tender glance and spark
led with an unearthly lustre; she utter
ed no complaint. Like the gentle girl
who loved the unfortunate Irish patriot,
Robert Emmet, she passed to her
earthly grave, forgivlng all, beloved by
every one, the victim of sad broken
heart
John Mason broke jail and fled to Tex
as, his brother David going into exile
with him. This settled all doubts or
questions as to his guilt or innocence
Flight was accepted by one and all as a
confession of guilt. Liberal rewards
were offered for the capture of the broth
ers, David being considered an accessory
to the crime, but neither were ever ap-
pretended. From the Lone Star state
they went to Louisiana and In New Or
yellow fever. Letters now in the faith
er's possession contain the most fervent
protestations of their innocence and sub
sequent events clearly exonerate them
from completely in the taking Off of
young Mckinley. For years after,
when the main actors in this strange
episode slept in their graves miles apart !;
when interest in the scenes we have
just related had almost died away, or
was recalled with awe at the hunters
winter fireside, the mystery surround
ing the disappearance of the young
man was brought to light
A party of hunters, while chasing a
deer in an adjacent county, found his
remains in a cave in which the animal
they were pursuing had established his
lair. There was only ghastly-looking
skeleton of man, a rusty rifle, and,
rudely carved in the yielding rock upon
which 1t rested, these words:
L" Lost, can't find my way out, Charles
Mckinley
That was all, but 1t told its own story.
1t solved an enigma that had darkened
many lives. 1t cleared from the foul
stain of murder, though too late, John
Mason and his brother.
This was the life-history-a record
which, by the way, is authentic and can
be verified by other living witnesses the
odd man told us, one evening as we sat
beside the glowing fire In the big fire
place of his lonely cabin. The night
wind swept down the deep mountain
gorges with the roar of an angry sea,
the stars twinkled dimly overhead, the
howl of the wolf'echoed dismally far out
ia the shadows of the woods, while the
darkness Of night filled all space.

The Lesson Of the Bath.

One of the most valuable discoveries
made by Archimedes, the famous scholar
of Syracuse, in Sicily, relates to the
weight of bodies immersed in water.
Hero, King of Syracuse, had given a
lump of gold to be made into crowr.
and when IL came back he suspected tha.
the workmen had kept back some of the
gold. and had made up the weight by
adding more than the right quantity of
silver; but he had no means of proving
this, because they had made It weigh
ss much as the gold which had been
sent. Archimedes, puzzling over this
problem, went to his bath. As he stepped
in he saw the water, which his body dis
and TO the astonishineEt of his servants
he sprang out of the water, and ran
home through the streets of Syracuse
almost naked. crying. "Etsrekal Enrekal''
e. have found I'll have found itir)
What had he foundP He had discoy-
cred that any solid body put into ves-
sci OF water displaces n quantity of
water equal 10 It's own bulk, and there
fore that equal weights of two sub
stances, one light and bulky, and the
other heavy and small. will displace diff
ferent quantities of water. This discov-
cry enabled him to solve his problem.
He procured one lump of kold and
another OF silver. each weighing exactly
the same rs the crown. OF course the
Jumps were not the same size, because
silver Is lighter than gold. and so Ii
axes more of 1t to make up the same
weight. He first put the gold into n
basin of water. and marked on the side
OF the vessel the height 10 which the
water rose.
Next. taking out the gold, he put In
the silver, which. Though IL weighed the
same, yet, being larger, made the water
rise higher; and this height he also
marked. Lastly. he took out the silver
and put In the crown. Now If the crown
had been pure gold, the water would
have risen only up to the mark of the
gold, but Il rose higher. and stood be-
tween the gold and silver marks, show
ing that silver had been mixed with Il.
making it more bulky: and BY caicula-
ting how much was displaced. Archi-
medes could estimate roughly how
much silver had been added. This was
the first attempt to measure the specific
gravity of different substances; that Is.
che weight of any particular substance
compared TO m equal bulk ofsome other
substance taken n a standard. In
weighing solids or liquids, water Is the
usual standard. Harper's Young Rople.

Diseased Mix.

Several medical men of prominence.
both here and in England, have lately
maintained that tuberculosis IL often
impaired TO human subjects by milk
from diseased cows. and Prof Otto
Bollinger. of the Munich university. one
of the highest authorities in German.
has sustained their position in n paper
recently read in that city. He said thai
repeated experiments show that the
milk OF tuberculous beasts has n very
decided, contagious influence, and re-
produces the disease in various animals
and that It's noxious properties canno
be expelled even by boiling. While the
tuberculosis of man is not Completely
identical with that of the COW. n IL ex-
actly similar; hence, there Is constant
danger to any community where milk
is freely used. The professor epioins
upon farmers the necessity of taking the
strictest care of their stock. and tipon
people generally the greatest care as 10
the quality of milk they use. Rigid
measures should be adopted everywhere
to exclude distempered cattle from
dairies. This has been done in tile as
sociated dairy established recently IN
Munich, and will have, It is believed,
excellent hygienic effect. All COWS are
there kept under the closest medical
supervision, and at the slightest symp-
tom of tuberculosis are Immediately re-
moved. II Is estimated that nearly ten
per cent. OF the cows kept in towns are
more or less diseased-a proportion
which must be much increased in New
York, where, In all probability. mosc
unwholesome milk Is sold than in any
city on the globe. If the tuberculosis
theory be true. IL Is singular that one
half of our population has not unsound
lungs.
