A Floating Compass.

A novel compass, invented by Captain
Magnagni, has been introduced Into the
Italian navy. In |. the needle floats on .
pool Of water tinctured with spirits Of wine
to prevent its freezing. The water is con-
tained In . glass vessel, with an elastic bot
tom TO allow its expansion and contraction
without breaking the vessel. Tho needle
consists Of six bundles Of nne magnets, built
up on hest ribbon steel, and fixed on card.
It is inclosed In = hsrmetically- ly-sealed case
which IL delicately poised on brass
pivot. The pivot has sapphire top and .
Jade point, ell highly polished to diminish
the friction. The acvantase Of tho compass
IL that ths rssistancs Of water being great to
rapid movements, u comparatively slight TO
slower ones; hence the ordinary movements
Of the needle are free enough, whereas those
due TO sudden shocks from without are re-
sisted, without consequent steadying or the
indications. Tried On board the Duillo, Ii ID
found that the discharge Of ! 100.ton gun, or
the motion 81 the screw, does not Affect tho
reading Of the compass. The efEects of the
rolling and pitching Of the vessel arc also
guarded against BY suspsndlng Tho floating
cass very little above the center Of grav-
lty.

A TRoTTING SECRET.
The Fast Time Of Lady Thorne's Mysterious
Mile.
Spirit of the Times.

SpHis o Ue 4 WteS
We presume our readers have all heard of
that very private trial, In the year 1870, when
Mace drove Lady Thorne a ghostly mile In
the gray of the morning, and only two 9TH
ers, John l.. Doty and VIM. 81. Saunders,
timed the marc. In regard to this trial her
driver said:
"I never saw Lady Thorne trot full mile
at her best but once, and there are two other
men living besides myself who can tell how
fast that was, but shall never tell, and it-is
probable that they will not. It was so fast
that 1t would not be credited by the public,
and 80 we agreed we would never mention
the time. But I will say this much: It was
faster gait for the whole mile than I ever
saw kept up by any other horse for single
quarter"
For round dozen Of years Dan Mace
maintained his determination to "nsver
tell, ," but In an unguarded moment, short
time ago, cut popped the secret.
On the occasion to which we refer, Dan
had become much interested IN conversation
with gentleman about that year (1S70),
when Lady Thorne was to meet Goldsmith
Maid al Buffalo. She had beaten the Maid
whenever they had contested on eastern
tracks--but the party of the little bay mare
was quite confident ofa victory at Buffalo
Dan, after the trial referred to, felt abund'
ant confidence In himself, and he related on
this recent occasion how he met Mr.. Smith
the owner of Goldsmith Maid, and told him
he would beat her.
"But," said Mr.. Smith, "we can trot three
heats better than 2:20."
$50 can l." said Dan.
ave can trot three heats better thar
2:1s."
$50 can l."
ave can trot three heats In 2:16."
$50 can T." said Dan.
The gentleman to whom Mace related the
foregoing conversation casually asked:
"Why, Mace, how fast did You ever drive
| Thorne?n
Dan replied impulsively: 81 drove her q
mile just as fast - . mile was ever trotted
In public, and the last half In 1:S5.''
The secret of decade was now more fully
out. Lady TEorne trotted trial in 1870 In
2:1os, last half in Los, timed by two Of the
| most experienced men on the turf, both still
| in the flesh, and driven by = man who now
lacks only two years Of his three score.

POETRY.
REST.
MARY A. HoPPus.

Rest will be sweet In the evening, when the
days long labor is done
Now. I must be up and doing for my work
3 Is scarce begun! s--
Peace may be dear to the veteran, grown
weary Of wars alarms
But now I'm longing for battle, the clash
and the clang Of arms.
Death by aud by will be welcome. IL have
been faithful and true
Now. there II life to be lived, and have so
much to do.
Once, in the early morning, when the dews
were not yet dry,
In the misty summer morning, or ever the
sun was high,
As I looked along the road whereby must
presently 20.
And saw how great was the journey, how
fiercely the noon would glow,
Life felt too heavy burden, and SO weary
and worn,
Weary before had labored, and longing for
night at morn.
Weary before had laborsd; but labor has
brought me rest,
And now am only eager to do my work
with the best
What right have 1 to be weary, when my
work is scarce begun?
What right have to be weary, when aught
remains to be done?
shall be weary at even, and rest will the
sweeter be;
And blessed will peace be to them that have
won the victory!
But new L. the time for battle--now would
strive with the best;
Now In the time for labor; hereafter remain
eth rest.

PENNIES SELLING FOR $25 EACH.

Story Told of Them.

good story is told by numismntists regard

who had q sly method of creating n market

good thing 10 send all tho pennies they could
get to Africa; so n ship was loaded up, after
the coin had been secured, and in due course
OF timo IL arrived In that very warm country.
and shining coppers were traded OFF with the
female natives for oils and other morchanta.
BILE articles. Tho Africans bored holes In tho
coins and used them for necklaces, earrings
noserings, and other ornaments. The result
OF this was that the pennies wero very scarce.
Tho story is generally believed by coin collec
tors, and ms result good penny of tho year
1770commands all tho way from SIS TO $25,
according to the degree Of perfection.
MIR. Il. Mason, 1r., the numismatist, has an
other version to give regarding the scarcity OF
this coin. He said that the records OF the mint
for the years 1898 90 show that over zoo, 900
pennies were coined, but that ON account of
the method OF keeping the accounts II was i'm.
possible TO tell Just how many there were OF
each year. "The cause OF the scarcity" said
Mr.. Mason to Record reporter, Giles I'm the
fact that the coins were imperfectly struck OF.
The date OF the bottom seemed very soft, and
1t readily wore Off. have had some three or
four thousand OF these pennies, and believe

pletely obliterated. There are pennies OF
other years thai arc more difficult to obtain
than those OF 1900, and II there were so many
Of them In Africa 1t would pay to send an
agent there TO hunt them up, and we would
have had man there long ago. Some time
