Sponge Plantation.

For many years the sponge-fshers of
the Mediterranean have carried on their
avocations 80 recklessly that there is
reason to fear the supplies from the great
sea (Which yields the best article) will
practically cease unless means are adopt
ed at once to prevent the men from de-
stroying-as they do at present in count
less numbers-the young animals while
securing the full grown victims. Mean
time DR.. Brehm, the illustrious naturalist,
has suggested plan for raising sponges
artifcially. Selecting few hundred
specimens, he divided them into several
thousand small pieces, fastened separately
into perforated cases, which were then
towed out to the bay Of Socolizza. He
then attached the pieces to . wooden
framework, which was then lowered in q
shady spot to . proper depth. In few
months the sponges had grown to the
size Of good natural ones, exhibiting their
distinctive black color. The authorities
regarded his scheme with favor, but the
fishers, with that ignorent prejudice
which has 80 often delayed sound reform
in almost every industry, attacked the
plantation by night, destroyed the frames
and made OF with two thousand sponees.

The Winning Telephone Girl.

There was something winning about
Daisy Bush, and as she stood up at the
telephone box and yelled "Hello" to
some invisible creature in the dim far
away, the wild winter winds didn't howl
in sweeter tones. Poor Daisy Bush! Hers
was hard lot. Through the bitterness
of misfortune she was driven to the
wire- but she toiled on uncomplaining-
ly, save when some subscriber to the
company by which she was employed
gave vent to righteous indignation be-
cause she did not respond as quickly as
he thought she ought to, when she
slammed back at him with a spirit that
testified to her OBJ ervation of better
days, when the sun shone brightly for
her, and no one was allowed to sau Q
her back.
Poor Daisy! Those days had fled into
the deaf and dumb past, and she was
adrift on the unfeeling telephone wires
in search of bare subsistence.
Hello! hellor' rang over the line,
one crisp morning about two weeks after
our story is printed.
Daisy glared at the box, but made no
answer
Il wonder what this is, and what he
wants." murmured the pouting lips.
"It may be that fellow around the cor
ner who always wants the other fellow
up the street; if tits, he can just want,
and the sad child of misfortune went
on putting up her frugal back hair as
if the were no such things as tele-
phones.
"Hello! hello!" shouted the customer
again. But Eaisy made no sign.
"lt may be the fel ow up the street
who Away wants the reliow around
the corner" she mused. II wonder
which it isl and as she pondered over
the question the more she was bewil-
dered.
whats The matter with you?'
howled the voice, once more. deaf?
Can't you hear -
"And this is faten' muttered Daisy,
rising and strolling toward the box with
a languid air so natural 10 her.
"Hello! Hello, yourself! What's your
hurryP u no are you?" she demanded
in ringing tones that shook the roof of
the impatient caller.
"Pm the PRESIDENT of the Telephone
Company. Don't ou know me Daisy"
replied a meek voice, in tone of hum
BILE beseeching.
Daisy laughed bitterly.
"Tes, know YOU" she responded.
you're always calling somebody and
wanting en- quick. Now you just wait
til | get ready" and Daisy sent off the
connection, and hung up her receiver
with fatigued motion that showed
how unf ted she was for the battle of
life.
daisy! Daisy"' called the obnox-
ious President again. "I want the
Secretary of the company. Please
turn him on -
Eut Daisy ne er stirred.
Daisy" begged the unhappy man.
"'Give me the >ecretary, quick, that's
good girl. | must talk to him or the
company will 60 to smash''
Daisy laughed hollow laugh and
took a bite OF an apple.
''If you will call him, Daisy, will
marry you -
And then Daisy ratified up that Sec
retary until he thought every hair on
his head band OF music, and all play
ing different tunes
And so Daisy Bush was married and
torn from rude contact with the cold
world. At her request, her husband
made her Superintendent OF operatives,
and didn't she make it warm for the
other girls, driven by fate to work in q
telephone office? Well, we should

Is There A Central Sun.

It II singular, remarks Mr.. r. A Proc
tor, how strongly some errors retain
thar hold on mems minds. When Mad
lar announced his belief that Alcyone, the
chief star Of the Pleiades, is the central
star Of the universe, mems minds we're
attracted by the thought that the steller
system, like the solar system, revolYes
around center. Yet astronomers knew
perfectly we'll that the evidence on which
Nader based his theory was exceedingly
feeble. Sir John Herschel also pointed
out how unlikely it is that the center Of
the Milky Way, if such center there re-
ally il, can lie 30 far away from the mean
plane Of the Milky Way as the Pleiades.
] have shown since that the only piece Of
positive evidence advanced by Nader,
The drift Of the stars Of the constellation
TaTrds in one direction, is in reality no
evidence at all, for the simple reason that
0 similar drift can be recognized Ia other
regions Of the stellar heavens. I believe
that no astronomer Of repute would now
one is the central sun Of the steller sys-
tenn, while scarce any, (if any would
maintain that there is central sun at all.
Yet I And that not only is the belief still
widely spread among the general public
that Acyone is the central sun, but that
this theory excites far more interest than
most of the real discoveries, interesting
though they are, which have been made
during the last half century. When I
reached Indianapolis found myself call
Cd on to decide, not whether the theory
u true or not, but whether it is due to
Bessel OF Madler. Ny statement that
the origin Of the theory was scarcely
worth considering, since the theory itself
was long since exploded, was received in
solemn silence, as if my words we're scarce
ly credited And when | had endeavored,
and I think I succeeded, in showing good
reasons for rejecting the theory, I
could still feel that most Of my audience
would great deal rather have seen the
theory established than overt-lrown. Such
= the dominion which error sometimes
ochieves over mems minds.

His Own Assassin.

| A peculiar suicide occurred in Paris
several weeks ago, the circumstances of
which show most strikingly the power
of fixed idea to derange the human
brain just as the smallest grain of dust
| will dsarrange a watch. 1t presents,
too, novel phase of insanity of the
highest interest to alienists. For ten
years the Baron 70 ert de Creuzy, a
man of sixty, had lived at No. II Kue
MOnge. without family, his only COM
panion in the house being an old servant.
One fine n; ;ght he swallowed drug
which he had mixed himself, containing
a frightful dose of alcohol. Under its
influence he fell into a drunken sleep
and awoke lunatic. He fancied him
self rejuvenated, and, stranger still,
that he felt within himself double
personality. He explained in all seri.
BUSINESS to his friends that he saw this
two old existence.
1.-The pot on was not strong enough"
he said. 81 am really young again. but
something of my old self remains =
something that seems to be my father.
I have become my own son; there1y I
am OBJ .essed, and suffer terribly"
They laughed at him A week later
they learned thst the Baron, having
fully decided that Lao was young man,
had thrown out of the window the little
money which he had LETT, saying that
youth should be prodigal But he
often repeated that he felt within him
his father reprimanding him for his
conduct and that no good would come
Of it. One morning soon after this loud
words were heard IN his chamber. He
was hurting angry insults at his
father" whom he charged with desire
to steal away his money. The last
words which reached the ears of his
servant were these:
"Your curse! What is your curse to
mep You are in me in spite of myself.
Be silent!"
All was still for q few seconds, and
then he resumed in voice of thunder:
miserable old man, never moro shall
you reproach me with dishonoring my
race! Take that and die"
The servant, hearing a body fall,
hurried into the room. The Baron de
Creuzy lay on the foor in sea of blood;
he had plunged knife into his own
heart

Morocco

This country, shut in by the Mediter-
ranean, Algeria, the Desert of Sahara,
and the ocean; crossed by the great chain
OF the Atlas; bathed by wide rivers,
opening into immense plains; with every
variety of climate; endowed with inesti-
mable riches in all the three kingdoms
of nature; destined by its position to be
the great commercial highroad between
Europe and Central Asia-is now occu-
pied by about $4,000 of inhabitants
-Berbers, Moors, Arabs, Jews, Negroes,
and Europeans-sprinkled over more
vast extent Of of country than that of
France. The Berbers, who form the ba-
sis Of the indigenous population-a say
age, turbulent, and indomitable race
live in the inaccessible mountains of the
Atlas in almost complete independence
Of the imperial authority. The Arabs,
the conquering race, occupy the plains
"a nomadic and pastoral people not en-
tirely degenerated from their ancient
naughty character. The Moors, cor
rupted and crossed by Arab blood, are in
great part descended from the Moors of
Spain, and inhabiting the cities, hold in
their hands the wealth, trade, and COM
merce of the country. The blacks,
about 500, 900, originally from the Sou
dan, are generally servants, laborers,
and soldiers. The Jews, almost equal
in number to the blacks, descend, for
the most part, from those who were ex-
lied from Europe in the Middl. Ages,
and are oppressed, hated, degraded, and
persecuted here more than in any other
country in the world. They exercise
various arts and trades, and in a thou
sand ways display the ingenuity, plia-
bility, and tenacity of their race, finding
in the possession Of money torn from their
oppressors recompense for all their
woes. The Europeans, whom Mussul-
man intolerance has, little by little, driven
from the interior of the Empire toward
the coast, number less than 1900 In all
Morocco, the greater part inhabiting
Tangiers, and living under the protec-
ton of the Consular flags. s.-MorOcco, It's
