Capt. Mayne Reid, whose death is an
nounced this morning, was born in the North
Of Ireland in 1918. He was the son of a
Presbyterian minister and was destined for
the church, but being of an adventurous dis
position he came to America in 1888, arriving
at New Orleans, and engaged in trading and
limiting excursions up the Red and Missouri
rivers, and travelled all over the Union. Sub
sequently he settled in Philadelphia. He went
to the Mexican war as volunteer in the
United States army, and was wounded at
Chapultspee. In 1549 he embarked for
Europe with the intention of volun-
teering in the straggle of the Hungarians
against Austria; but the revolution was sup
pressed by the time he reached Paris. Then
he settled in London and made wide reputa-
tion in England and America as a writer of
books for boys. In 1869 he was in New York
again and started a monthly magazine entitled
Onward" which, however, had but brief
existence He has been frequent contributor
to periodicals, and was always popular writer
for youth. His writings are mainly narratives
of adventure, and distinguished by thrill
ing incidents and spirited style.

The Aurora In Miniature.

Laboratory experiments have fre.
qucntly been resOrted to produce the
aurora in miniature, and the resemb-
lance to tho original has been extremely
close, but an artificial aurora on large
scale and with no electrical machinery
has lately been effected by Professor
Lemstr0em. lie selected station Just
within tho Arctic circle, i'm North Fin
land, where there were two mountains
close together, and having attitudes Of
1900 and $500 feet. In accordance
with tho we'll known fact that clectri-
city gathers upon points, two hills hay
ing clearly defined conical SUBMITS were
selected. lie believed that aurora was
the result of an cndeaVor on tho part of
certain forces to establish an c1uilbri-
um, and assumed that electricity was
passing from one hill top to the othor.
Reasoning that If by any means the in
terohange could be fastened the effect
would become visible, the SUBMITS
were connected with their bases by q
network Of copper to serve as q aconduc-
tor. immediately an arch of the aurora
appeared, estimated to be at least 800
feet above tile top. An examination Of
tho currents produced in tho w.rcs
Showed them to, be positive. The spec
troscope clearly revealed the we'll known
lines Of the aurora. Although the dis
play was only Of short duration, there
could be no doubt of its genuineness or
OF tho success Of the experiment.

Upon tho maple tops,
The sparrows' gay disputing,

The lark's long, mellow whistle
Where fields arc cool and moist;
Tho finch upon the thistle;
The wood dove, echo voiced;
The phoebe softly calling;
The warblerS' biddcn choir,
Where apple flowers are falling,
And darts the orioles fire.

OF clay from sunny pools;
The doves their loves arc telling
The scolding wren o'errulcs,

And hurls his notes about;
