THE SCARECROW.

"Those are the robbers!' grandpa said
To neighbours boy, Gold-locks and Ted,
Out on the doorstep. AS he spoke,
Over toward a distant oak
He pointed, where in f1uttering rows
Were perched the black and noisy crows.
Brown. and smelling an earthly sweet,
The field spread out beneath the heat,
With faintest lines of green to show
Where the corn had just begun to grow;
Hither had come the thieves in tiockS-
Little black hens, said wise Goid-iocks.
4" What shall we do?" with aspect grim
To the three small folks who watched with
him,
Said grandpa-he whose gentle hand
Spared even the spoilers of his land,
And who always planted oughtfa.ly
With an eye to squirrel, bird and bee.
His frown was only thin disguise
To hide the gentleness of his eyes;
For thc yeriest worm before his tread
Could lift unhurt its humble head.
But Ted. half cheated by his tone,
Thought gravely somerh ng must be done.
* Well build u scarecrow, Jack hurrah.''
dark! distant anSwer-CdU, C tsC. cGD!)
And, glad of a novel work to do,
Up to the attic stores they flew;
Sought for the worst of everything;
Then off to tine field went scampcring.
There, soon, a figure gaunt uprose,
With grandpa's lOng-discarded clothes
Hung from it's limbs, no tit at all,
Too large in parts, in parts too small,
His hat upon its bristling hair,
WavInga threatening arm in air.
What did the sentry on the bough
Say to his pilfering comrades now?
Why, when the direful thing he saw,
He croaked serenely: "CdW, cd-aao, cd-d-tc!'
And still along the corn's green track
Stalked the thieves in glistenng black.
Never stately step showed fright,
Never wing took hurried flight;
But still the Hocks came, day by day,
To find where the yellow kernels lay.
No whit did the saucy creatures care
For the broom the scarecrow waved in air.
Gold-locks puzzled her little mind,
The secret of their ways to find;
She pondered; cOunseled much with Ted,
And, at last-a bright discoYery-said:
] know: if we wanted to scare the crows,
We shouldn't have put on grandpa's
clothes!"

The Solar Eclipse.

A special correspondent of the London
Times writes from Egypt, under the
date of May %, giving very interest
ing account of the solar eclipse:
1t is q fact which certainly seems
worth noticing that at q time when dis
quoting rumors filed the air, when Eu-
ropeans left Cairo almost in a panic,
when the English and French fleets
were ordered to proceed to Alexandria,
and when nobody knew what changes
in the internal government of Egypt
the next day might bring forth, num-
Der of scientific men of many national
tiles were at work on the banks of the
Nile, mixing freely with the native pop
ulation, aided to the utmost of their
power by everybody concerned, and
personally assisted by high officials,
who discharged the duties intrusted to
them by the Khedive undisturbed by
the political agitation and apparently
uninterested in the changes which
threatened the Egyptian Government,
and which, no doubt, would have one
way or another involved their own for
tunes, and might have produced seri-
Gus change in their position. Each ex-
petition had an Egyptian officer attach
ed to it, and they all recognize the great
help which they have received in this
way.
One of the most characteristic features
of the camp at Sohag was the cordial
friendship reigning between the mis-
sions of different nationalities. As a
rule, when an eclipse or a transit of
Venus brings different nations into the
same neighborhood, there is desire to
separate rather than unite, for the very
important reason of securing the great
est number of chances for fine weather.
But in Upper Egypt the weather was
perfectly safe, and q considerable SIM
plification of all arrangements was in
PRODUCED by the union of all observers
into one camp. The result could not
have been more satisfactory. A formal
interview between the different expedi-
tions took place before the eclipse, in
which every astronomer explained his
programme. In this way the common err
FOR of multiplying too many observa.
tions of the same nature and neglecting
Others altogether was avoided, and
when a similar interview took place af-
ter the eclipse it was found that the diff
ferent observations fitted into each 9th
er with almost unexpected nicely.
An approximate idea of the results
which have been obtained cannot be
given at present The observations
want reducing, comparing, discussing,
and whatever is said at present may be
subject to alteration or correction, but
enough is known to show that all the
trouble taken by the astronomers has
not been wasted. and that all the kind
ness and hospitality shown by the Egyp-
tians in the interests OF science have
been well rewarded. The French party
consisted of Messrs. Trepied, Thollon,
Puiseux. A great part of their work
was done during the partial phase OF the
eclipse; the edge of the moon was care
fully examined by them with two idensi-
cal spectroscopes constructed by NJ.
With rood definition. Messrs. Trepied
and Thollon express themselves with
commendable caution as to their results,
INT there seems no doubt as to certain
facts, and the only explanation which

Last April a well was bored in
Washington County, Pa. by the Niaga-
IA Oil Company, and the Scientific Anaer-
lean considers it to be the greatest
.'gasser" of modern drilling days.
Contrary to expectation, the sands at
first were not found to be regular or of
an oil-bearing description. Drilling
was continued, however, for six months
to depth of 2, 200 feet Then fissure
was struck containing gas of most ex-
traordinary volume and pressure. Tools
weighing more than 800 pounds were
thrown out of the hole more than fifty
feet above the derrick, with a noise
which rendered conversation impossible
within 800 yards of the works.

A Fashionable Vegetable.

Louis XIV. was a bon vivant of the
first quality, and ought to have been
able to set the fashion in edibles, not
only for his own age, but for long
while to come. That he was not. in
fact, equal to this task, may be easily
perceived from the example of one veg
etable alone, which has speedily and
undeservedly descended from the high
place to which he raised it into hum
BILE and miserable position of inferiority.
The plant in question is the red cab
bage, which was an immense favorite
with the royal gourmet, and was more
highly appreciated at the little suppers
given to his Majesty by Nine. de Pom
padour at Marty than any other article
in the bill of fare. At the banquets at
Versailles the same vegetable was
allowed all its due honors, and was usu.
ally served as the second course among
the sweets. The taste thus encouraged
soon made its way not only among the
rich families of Paris, who affected it
out of pure compliment to the court,
but also among the bourgeois, who were
delighted at finding it possible to COM
bine fashion with economy, and treat
themselves to one of the dishes most
cost of few sous.
The most correct way of serving up
the red cabbage was the style known as
"a la d. Orleans" which was invented,
as it seems, by the Princess of Bavaria,
who married the Duke of Orleans, and
who no doubt imported from her own
country much knowledge of the excel
lences of the succulent plant SO nearly
allied to "sour circuit" This lady man.
aged to preserve the secret Of the recipe
until her death, and the dishes of red
cabbage a la d'Orleans which were
served under any except her special
supervision, were none of them quite
genuine, however good the imitation.
She left the recipe written out at length
on paper signed with her full name,
and by clause in her will declared that
she could confer no greater benefit upon
her noble friends than to bequeath to
them this famous recipe. = London

they always succeed in keeping off his
hook. Whenever he goes fishing, the
fish are all eyes and no mouth, and
every eye wide open. He thought they

can't help it, he simply despises where
he hated them before.-N. T. Iade-

EddystOne Lighthouse.


rTAE Eddystone lighthouse, of
wonderful history, started on new
career last week. Sweaton's fam
Gus structure, erected over 100
years ago, has been replaced by a
higher, stronger and more modern
structure, which its architect,
Douglass, believes good for more
than another hundred years. The
first lighthouse on Eddystone reef
was built of wood and stone in
1896, and was carried away by
the sea only seven years later. The
second one, built in the same man
ner In l7OS. was burned in l755.
Then followed Sweaton's work of
art, which is still standing. But
ii was found about FIVE years ago
that although the tower was still
sound, the ledge on which it stood
had become undermined by the
waves, and there was danger
of an ultimate collapse. The
new lighthouse stands on another
part Of the ledge, one that at high
tide is always below the surface
The lower part of the tower which
is bolted securely to the bedrock,
is cylinder A feet in diameter
and 22 feet high, the top of it,
being 2 feet 6 inches above high
water of spring tides. Here,
therefore is a landing stage. From
this base springs tapering tower
80 feet in diameter at the base and
eighteen feet at the top, which is
138 feet above the rock founda-
ton. The lantern room has two
oil lamps of 722-candle power
together, and the range of the
fash is 174 nautical miles. The
lighthouse is of granite through
out, and the formal "opening" was
the lighting of the lamps on the
night Of their use by the Prince
of Wales.

A Clever Exploit.

CAPTAIN BURRows,of the steam
er. Rio Grande, has succeeded in
accomplishing an unprecedented
feat. "When his steamer was
discovered to be on fire at sea,
nine miles beyond the Delaware
breakwater, he overhauled an
Italian bark, the Beppino A, sue
cessfully and safely, and, without
the slightest panic, transferred his
ninety-seven passengers to her,
navigated the burning vessel to a
shoal near the breakwater and
sank her to the deck beams. This
was the only means of putting
out the fire, which was in the hold
of the ship among eight hundred
bales of cotton. 1t was impossi-
BILE to reach the fire on the Rio
Grande or to successfully battle
with it in the usual way by pour
ing water through the matches.
To completely submerge all of the
steamer below the main deck
matches was the only recourse.
To accomplish this without serious
injury to the steamer was no
easy task. But Captain Bur
rows managed it in twenty-seyen
hours after the conflagratien was
discovered, and not only this, but
in twenty-four hours more he had
extinguished the flames, pumped
out and raised the ship and was
once again ready to start the en-
gines and steam for New York. AT
the Delaware breakwater the Rio
GraEde again oyerhauled the 1tal-
ian bark, retransferrcd the passen.

Where the creek runs through culvert wide,
Just past the ''crossing,"a a poor'.tramp" died.

Where he stumbled down to YEARLY creep,
Under the shelter OF green sycamore
To rest-as he never had rested bcforel
With strange new pain In his tired breast,
Tie sick man halted awhile to rest;
Knowing perhaps when all too late,
with hopeless giving in to fate,
That he hadpta single friend In sight,
Aud death might come in the lonely night.

When the air was sweet aud heaven seemed

And the music OF waters was in his ear:

AS he felt there was no one to grieye or care,
Or over him whisper a parting prayer.

The olive face with the dark sunken eyes,
And look Of peace tho world denies.
