The effort Of Prof. Bell to locate the
ball in President Garfeld's body by
means Of an electric induction balance is
fresh in the memory of all. Another
plan for detecting metallic substances in
the human body has been submitted by
Prof d. 10 the French Academy OF
Science. The method is as follows A
fine needle is inserted near where the ball
Cor other pieces Of metaD is supposed to
be This needle is connected by wire
with one terminal Of telephone, while
u metallic plate laid on the skin is con-
nected with the other terminal. When
the point Of the needle reaches the ball
an electric current is set up between that
and tho metallic plate, producing sound
in the telephone The needle may be
inserted in several places with little pain,
and the pain may be prevented entirely
by means of ether spray, To test the
method ball was placed in piece OF
beef, when it was proven that contact Of
the needle with piece of bone produced
no sound in tho telephone, while n very
distinct sound was heard whenever the
ball was reached.

Romance as 1t Is.

The south wind is singing softly among
the sturdy oaks, whose leafy branches
shield from the pitiless rays of July
sun the velvety, soft lawn that stretches
away to the eastward 10 front of lovely
Outage county villa. On tho veranda
stands girl, lovely beyond compare, to
whom a man-onc whose sunny locks
and beard of tawny gold hue tell plainly
of the Saxon blood that flows in his
veins-is talking in an earnest manner.
There is loving look In his soft, blue
eyes, and he speaks with tender earn
estnoss that shows he is trying to get
there, The girl is tapping lightly with
croquet mallet the pretty foot that
peeps out half timiaiy from beneath the
pretty mornix dress of soft. blue cloth,
with two rows of ruflies up the back.

well, Bertrace, have you concluded
to shake mo !" says the man.
The sunbeams flicker erratically down
between the leaves, making little lights
and shades on the veranda; the grass
hoppers sing among the red clovers; the
little foot, which has suspended its move
ments during the delivery of this inter
rogatory, resumes its occupation. Adel-
berts gaze is still fastened upon the
pretty face that looks slyly down, but
tho smile has fed.
No answer comes.
A moment longer and the foot-taps
cease ono or two irresoluto movements
of the body; and then the white arms,
cleaning out from the loose sleeves, are
around his neck, the brown locks and
golden beard are mingled, while the lit
tie head goes down on his shoulder amid
u storm Of sobs.
She has hit her bunion. -Chicago

ONLY GOING TO THE GATE.

VNAA 0O1Nu IL HE GATE.
Like bell of blossom ringing,
Clear and childish, shrill and sweet,
Floating to the porch's shadow,
With the fainter fall of feet,
Comes the answer softly backward,
Bidding tender watcher wait
While the baby-queen outruns her,
"Only going to the gate"
Through the moonlight, warm and scented
Love to beauty breathes sigh,
Always to depart reluctant,
10th to speak the words goodbye;
Then the same low echo answers
Waiting love of older date,
And the maiden whispers softly,
"Only going to the gate"
Oh, these gates along our pathway,
What they bar outside and in
With the vague outlook beyond them.
Over waves we have not been.
How they stand before, behind us
Toll-gates some, with price to pay;
5piihb -S"ecn soiic, tHdl SluJ lOIcVcr;
Cloud-gates some, that melt away
So we pass them going upward
On our journey, one by one,
To the distant shining wicket,
Where each traveller goes alone
Where the friends who journey with us
Strangely lalter, stop and wait;
Father, mother, child or lover
"Only going TO the gate.n

coast are covered with dense forests, and
have been only partially explored. The
capital is San Jose. The four towns reported
destroyed by the earthquake are on the
southwestern side of the mountains. Alajue-
la is city of {, 900 inhabitants, and is the
capital of the province of the same name. It
is an important station near the Pacific coast
terminus of the only railroad IN the country,
running from Port Limon, on the Caribbean
sea, to Punta Arenas, on the Gulf of Nicoya,
on the Pacific. Heredia is the seat of gov

In common with the entire Pacific coast of
America, and indeed with all the shores of
the Pacific Ocean, Costa RIGA is a volcanic
region, and is subject to frequent earthquake
shocks This fact is indicated by the ancient
Indian name of Central America, CLlsoatLdn,
which signifies "the land that swings or shakes
like hammock" There were severe earth
quakes in San Salvador In ITO, and more
than century afterward, on March 10, 1873,
the capital city of that republic. San Saliva
dor, was entirely destroyed by three success
slve shocks. The loss of life, however, was
small, fewer than 500 persons being killed
the West Indies and in California. in recent
years, but the most disastrous shocks have
occurred along and near the South American
coast at Quito, Callao, Conception Yalparai-
so and other points. The city of Conception
has been laid in ruins four times, suffering
from 300 shocks in two weeks in February,
1885. In August, 1868, africa, Peru. was
visited by a severe earthquake and tidal
wave, by which the United States steamer
Waterse and several other vessels were car
ried far inland and left stranded there. The
East Indies, Japan and the Sandwich Islands
have frequently been visited by violent
shocks So, too, have the countries of south
ern Europe, where occurred the earthquakes
of Lisbon, on November l, I755, destroying
go, 600 persons In six minutes, and of Gala
bria, in 1873, causing the death of 100, 600
persons Many severe shacks have been felt
on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean
also. In Judea, in 81 B. c., 10000 persons
the city of Antioch was several times
destroyed, $50, 900 persons being killed there
in 526. and 10000 more in 5s7; and the ter
rlble destruction of life and property at
Scio in April last is still freshly remembered.

Massachusetts, is disturbed by railroad
scheme which is decidedly impudent. This
is the New York and Boston Inland. The
plan filed by the company calls for the
seizure of nearly 100000 square feet of
land on the water side of Beacon street,
Boston, lying where railroad would utterly
ruin some score of estates without emitting
one of the owners to cents damages for
the destruction. And unless the general
railroad law be changed this impudent scheme
can be carried out in spite of the unanimous
protest of the owners of estates, the voters
and the government of Boston, and in oppo-
sition to the judgment of the entire board of
railroad commissioners. There is good
prospect that the law will be changed, and
also that the Inland promoters will not be al
lowed to go on. The Boston Advertiser says:
Although this scheme processes to be one
for the construction of road to New York,
it is certain that no charter can be had for it
in Connecticut. If, then, the announced
purpose of the projectors was their real aim,
the scheme should be abandoned as impossi-
BILE of accomplishment. The fact that it is
not abandoned, but that the persistent lob
bying at the State house has continued to the
present time suggests that in some quarter
there may be an idea that whether any part
of the scheme can be carried out or not, and
whether any capital can be really induced to
embark in so foolish and impossible an enter
prise or not, the possession of a lien upon
the Back Bay estates is as good as a mine in
Maine, to say the least"
