Artificial Aurora Borealis.


London st. James Gazette.
Prof. Forster, the Berlin astronomer, gave
an account at a meeting on Tuesday of the
experiments made in the north of Finland
by Prof. Lendstrom. OF Hesingfors: "At
about sixty-seyen degrees north Prof. Lend
strom placed a network of copper wires
terminating in many perpendicular points
on the tops Of two mountains, one of which
is 5000 feet high. This network of wire he
connected with the earth at the bottom of
each hill in the usual manner. The astonish-
ing result, as foreseen, was the formation OF
an aurora boreais, rising above the noun
tain-top to an elevation estimated at 800 feet.
The atmospheric electricity attracted to the
earth by the copper created this interesting
phenomenon"

work of the Pension once.

Washington Special.
Its generally believed that the Pension
Bureau is far behind in work, because cases
have not been allowed within a reasonable
time after filing. In every case the cause of
the delay is the fault of the applicant or his
attorney in neglecting or failing to furnish
the evidence required by law, so close up is
the bureau on all applications filed so far.
1t is believed that by the 1st OF July next
every case will have been examined. Col.
Dudley, when making applications to Con-
Eress in December 1881, for an increase of
force, estimated that if the desired increase
were granted him, he would be ALE to ex-
anime the immense mass of cases then ac-
cumulated by December 1884. The discip-
line and efficiency of the office, however,
will enable the Commissioner to anticipate
his promise by nearly six months.

Sergeant nIason,s offense.

WashinRton Special.
The boast Of Attorney Bigelow that be
would get Sergeant Mason out of prison but
for his wife, who is too smart to be bled for
the purpose, excites only derision at the War
Department They seem inclined to put
Bigelow down as a fraud, who thought he
saw an opening to the fund raised for Betty
and the baby" and went in for it without
any expectation of success in getting Mason
out of his scrape. The Judge Advocate is of
the opinion that Mason can only be relieved
OF the consequences of his crime of attempt
ing to shoot his prisoner by Executive elem
ency. That will not be asked by the War
Department, whatever sentimentalists may
do. The offense is one of the worst, short of
murder, of which soldier can be guilty,
and there is no other sentiment about it in
military circles

Mrs. Helen Williams. in Chicago Womans World.
Not long ago 1 stood by the death bed of a
little girl. From her birth she had been
afraid of death Every fibre of her body and
soul recolled from the thought of it. Don't
let me die" she said; don't let me die.
Hold me fast Oh, can't CO." "Jennie," /
said, you have two little brothers in the
other world, and there are thousands of
tender-hearted people over there who will
cried out again despairinglv, Don't let me
go; they are strangers over there" She was
a little country girl, strong llmbed, feet of
foot, tanned IN the face; she was raised on
the frontier: the fields were her home. In
vair we ;rled 20 reconcile her to the death
thas was inevitable. Hold me fast" she
cried, don't let me 60" But even
as she was pleading her little
hands relaxed their clnging hold from
my waist and lifted themselves eagerly aloft;
lifted themselves with snch straining effort
that they lifted the wasted little body from
its reclining position among the pillows.
Her face was turned upward; but it was her
eyes that told the story They saw something
plainly that we could not see; and they grew
brighter and brighter, and her little hand
qulvered in eagefness to go where strange
portals had opened upon her astonished vis-
ion. But even in that supreme moment she
did not forget to leave a word of comfort for
those who would gladly have died in her
place: Mamma" she was saying mamma,
they are not strangers. Pm not afraid'
And every instant the light burned more
gloriously in her blue eyes till at last it
seemed as if her soul leaped forth upon its
radiant waves, and in that moment her trem-
bling form relapsed among its pillows and
she was gone.
