The CONSERVATION an Owl Made.

The action of the Washington monu
ment is watched most carefully and its
every movement registered. Two plum
NETS are suspended in its inside, one
from height of 260 feet and the other
from height of $50 feet. The move
ments of these are compared many times
a day. The movement of one should be
about one and one-half times that of the
other if there were no irregular internal
movement on the part of the structure.
But the register shows that the move
ment is irregular in both direction and
in size. Sometimes the plummets move
in opposite directions and sometimes in
the same. Sometimes the top moves a
little, but its whole sway since the
foundation was strengthened has been
only one quarter of an inch. All of
these movements are very slight, and
some of them can only be detected with
microscope. The longer plummet line
is encased in q wooden box. to prevent
the atmosphere having any effect upon
it, and since the finding that the spiders
had once drawn the line out of the per-
pendicular, n careful investigation is
made daily, TO see that the lines are not
influenced by outside causes. Once,
when great CONSERVATION was caused by
the irregularity Of the line, it was found
that IN owl was perched upon the top
of the line. 1t was caught, killed, stuffed
and given to Mrs. HAYES, and it is now

A Happy Bridegroom.

The passengers on a Michigan Gen.
trail train bound westward the other day
were treated to an experience illustrat-
i've of the claims of matrimonial felicity
on popular sympathy as they appear to
the rural Michigander. At small sta
ton near Kalamazoo q strapping youth
boarded the train, leading by the hand
blushing rustic maid. Taking his stand
in full view of everybody, he Grated:
Ladies and gents, this is my wife, Mrs.
Heuffner. Amt she daisyp' He
proudly exhibited his prize to the anus
ed observers with an exemplification of
the enticements he had used to win her
through fifty-mile ride. Arrived at
Buchanan the happy pair alighted in
the presence of large crowd assembled
to greet them. Again the groom an
nounced: Ladies and gents, my wife.
Amt she n darling?" AS the train
moved out the passengers waved their
handkerchiefs and applauded, and the
happy -and-not- ashamed-for-everybody-
to-Enow-it pair were left to their rare
and singular felicity. - Chicago herald.

Ingersoll on Death.

The following lines are an extract
taken from a letter written by Col. In
gersoll from Long Beach to II personal
friend who had suffered bereavement
in the death of his mother:
"After all there is something tenderly
appropriate in the serene death of the
old. Nothing is more touching than
the death of the young. the strong. But
when the duties of life have all been
nobly done-when the sun touches the
horizon-when the purple twilight falls
upon the present, the past and future
when memory with dim eye can scarce
ly spell the records of the vanished days
then, surrounded by kindred and by
friends, death comes like strain OF
music. The days had been long, the
road weary, and we gladly stop at the
inn.
Life is shadowy, strange and
winding road, on which we travel for a
little wav-a few short steps, just from
the cradle with its lullaby of love to the
low and quiet wayside inn, where all at
last must sleep and where the only sal
utation is goodnight. "

Henry James's Reply to Charles Dudley
Warner,

Writing in the August Century, of
"Alphonse Daudct," Henry James Incl
dentally demurs, Us follows, to Charles
Dudley Warmers assertion in his At
ldnGic article on Modern Fiction that
1.-THE main object in the novel is to en-
tertaint' THE word entertaining has
two or three shades of meaning; but in
whatever sense it is used | may say, in
parenthesis. that | do not agree with
Mr.. Warmers description of the main
object of the novel. should put the
case differently; | should say that the
main object OF the novel is to represent
life. l cannot understand any other
motive for combining imaginary Incl
dents, and do not perceive any other
measure of the value of such combina-
tions. The effect of NOVELETTE, effect
of any work of arts to entertain; but
that is n very different thing. The sue
cess of work of art, TO my mind, may
be measured by the degree to which il
produces certain Illusion; that illusion
makes it appear to us for the time that
we have lived another lfe-that we have
had miraculous enlargement of our
experience. The greater the art, the
greater the miracle, and the more GER
tain also the fact that we have been en-
tertained-in the best meaning of that
word, at least, which signifies that we
have been living at the expense of some
one else. am perfectly aware that to
say the object of novel is to represent
life does not bring the question to a
point so fine as to be uncomfortable for
any one. 1t is of the greatest impor-
lance that there should be very free
appreciation of such II question. and the
definition have limited at gives plenty
of scope for that. For, after all, may
not people differ infinitely rs to what
constitutes life-what constitutes repre-
sentation? Some people hold that Miss
Austen represents. Others attribute
these accomplishments to the brilliant
''Ouida." Some people find that illu-
sion, that enlargement of experience,
that miracle of living at the expense of
others, of which | have spoken, in the
novels of Alexander Dumas. Others
revel in them in the pages of Mr..

The Last Great Eclipse.

The astronomers of all nations who
went to observe the eclipse of the sun
at the Caroline Island in the Pacific on
May 6, had the rare good fortune to
have a cloudless day on which to make
their observations. The results are said
to be very important. They found no
trace of planet between Mercury and
the sun, which it was suspected existed,
and which had been named Vulcan
The outer corona of the solar photo
sphere is now found to be due to refrac-
