Allegheny girls seldom get left. but
the following is an exception TO the rule:
While the 6fst half Of last evening was
drawing 10 a close, a feminine call Tor
help was heard by three yeung ladies
who were crossing Ninth street bridge
to the north side. Visions of unrequited
love with its inevitable suicide fitted
through their minds. and it was some
time before they discovered young
lady far below, but not in the water. not
even the appearance OF having been
there. She was standing high and dry
on the rip-rap at the base OF the middle
pier, and gave the young ladfes on the
bridge to understand that she had beeni
left there In some manner, ana now AM
plored their aid. Not being experienced
oarswomen they hailed couple OF
gentlemen who were passing, and who
fetched the Allegheny girl ashore in a
skiff. She explained first she lived on
Monterey street. and was OF good
family. 7T'he story which followed was
one Of courfship. The s.young man
in the case had been Tilted by her some
time ago, but last evening when he
asked her TO accompany him and his
two lady friends for q boat ride she
went. While coming up under Ninth
street bridge the Tilted lover struck the
lc4rrent. which he saw was too much for
his ability as o rover, and asked the
young lady from Monterey street TO step
out on the rip-rap until he tcokthe other
two ashore and returned for her. Like
many another girl, she VISITED, but the
faith1ess gallant came mot, and the
escape was as above. She felt very
much chagrined, and told her story rs
she laughed and cried alternately, but
vowed fearful vengeance. = stfsbssTgh

Almost year ago syndicate bought
lands in Manitoba from the Canadian
Pacific Company 10 the arount OF TO-.
100000 acres. The other day.a sale Of
5000, 900 acres of Northern Pacific lands
was effected, and now comes report OF
a sale Of 4,O0O. 900 acres OF Texas lands.
To give an idea Of the magnitude Of
these transactions 1t may be stated that
there are GAO acres in each square mile,
and this tract embraces no less than
GEO square miles, or strip Of land one
mile wide extending from st. Louis far
into the European continent; or strip
twenty miles wide extending from Lit
tie Rock, Arkansas. to st. Louis. Four
large cities can be built at the corners
Of this tract, which will be far enough
apart not to interfere with their respec-
tive business interests, aud ii would
compel railroad train to run four
hours in order to GROSS tho immense do,
main while running at an ordinary
rate Of speed. II Is large enough to
furnish homes TO q million people,
without uncomfortable providing, and
would not then b 90 densely inhabited
- Massachusetts or Rhode Island, to
say nothing Of ENGLAND, Belgium and
other countries Of Europe. The exist
enos In almost unbroken bodies Of such
vast tracts Of land gives one an idea Of
the vast area Of uninhabited lands on
this continent. and the boundless space
yet available for future expansion.

In Western Washington the result u

The great comet of 1882 has not yet
sntirelyl disappeared, but can ssii De
family seen in the southern heavens az
o. q o'clock of clear mornings. Comets
ara elvsyss subject Of deep interest,
and the mysteries connected With them
are in course Of constant scientific IN
vestieatiou. Not long since at a meet
inc of academicians at Columbia Coi-
lego in New York, twelve papers were
presented by astronomers, all bearing
mors on les ON comets, and particularly
ON the comet now gradually disappear
ing. ,;d
Professor Peters, the veteran as.e'o'o
hunter, spoke on the structure OF 'ne
nrsa.nt comet. He said astronomers
had neglected TO compare their ooser-
v.t;ons Of this with former comets. he
had mads some comparisons. Asto the
dividing Of the nucleus into TWO OF
no,a marta. az some observers have
claimed. hs did not believe any DIVISION
had taken place. In former comets.
baoinnino with the Donati comet OF
1858, the nucleus had been OF fery
red and partly surrounded by an en'ei-
one. On the side opposite to the sun
An envelope existed, bat from the nu.
oleus itself the long tail sprang out ana
Ao.haa acyosa thu heavens. In the pres
ont comet it hes been difficult to see the
nuoleos at all. The comet looked at
frst like a long, slightly curved line.
After long looking tho nucleus was seen
70 be Of yeIlowish tint, probably ow-
inc 20 its constitution. observers dis
asree AZ to where the nucleus OF TINS
comet is" continued Prof. Peters. II
can sxplain the mistake Of those who
place it further toward the end OF the
tail than do. The tail is, for some IN
known reason, obscored at the place
whore w should expect to see 1t join
the nucleus, but ON the tail side OF this
chasm the tail reappears with exceeding
brightness. That bright spot has by
some accomplished observers been taken
for tho nucleus"
With the claim made by some astron-
omers, that, because the comets OF 1851
and Of 1913, like this one, travelled very
near the sun, moved in the same plane,
had the same longitude Of perinelion
and of node, therefore the three comets
are presumably one and tho Same, Prof'
Peters said he could not agree. because
this comet was 60 much brighter than
tho others were. Every comet is ex'
haussinQ itself continually, and the
substance which is thrown OF in the
tail does not form plume, but 10 ratht
TO bs compared with the steam escaping
from steam pipe. 1t ia constantly 70
nswed until the substance OF the nu
oleus il burned up. II ia known now
that the tail IL portion Of. the nucleus
drawn out by electric force as the comet
approaches nearer TO the sun. The
shape and curvature of the tail Of any
comet depend ON its velocity. Three
different types Of tails exist. and under
tho spectroscops the composition OF the
three Ii the same. The velocity depends
somewhat ON the nature Of the tail.
Three elements are known to exist.
The lightest is hydrogen. which makes
the longest tail. Next arc tho hydro
oarbons. which form medium sized
tail; and last il iron. which forms the
shortest tail.

NORTHERN PACIFIC GENERosITY.-The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company has
purchased several blocks, comprising 90
lots or more. at Brainerd, Mimi. as a
donation TO the hospital for a park, and
the same to be in0l0sed and improved.
The grounds are beautifully located on
the liver bank Of the Mississippi. A
number Of the prominent officers and
stockholders, including Messrs. Willard,
Cakes and Billings, have subscribed lib
orally for library and reading room
for convalescent patients in the hospi-
tai, and the Secretary of the company,
Samuel Wilker0n, Esq, has volunteered
to purchase the books and magazines,
which will include several thousand vol
umes. The company has been guafan-
teed the benefits 70 b paid by the Ben
eticent Association to the extent of $1,000
per annum, which is equivalent to $780,
UOO Of 4 per cent. bonds az an invest
ment. At the last monthly meeting of
the Board Of ManaRers, vouchers were
approved for benefits to the extent of
more than 5000. Parties receive from
go to $50 In benefits when contribution
to the fund had been less than 81. 1t
Is probable that no other association
will offer 90 large benefits for so small
contributions. 1t forms, also, part of
the plans Of the management to secure
the best class OF employees, by making
them and their families comfortable.
At all points where shops are located, or
large number Of employees concentrat-
cd, 1t is proposed, 90 soon AZ may be
practicable, TO erect neat and convent
ent residences. to be furnished at low
rents to employees with families.
