animation of the rainbow was due to
Descartes. Descartes looked at the
drops of rain; he pictured one lisuid

OF the sun falling upon liquid sphere;
he saw that certain portions of the light
would be refracted, would be driven to
the other side of the drop, back again,
and would be again reffacted on their
emergence from the drop. He took
pen In his hand and calculated the
entire course of the rays through the
drop and their direction. after their emer.
gence from the drop. He found that
the vast body of the rays, after quitting
the drop, diyerged at one particular
angle; they came ont as parallel sheaf.

FRENCH POPULATION.

While the population of nearly all
countries is increasing, the indications
are that at the end of the present cen.
tury France will have smaller mum.
Der Of people than now. Though the
population has considerably increased
since 1876, the ratio of increase has
for some years been declining at an
alarming rate and the average number
OF children to family is now less than
two. The marked decrease in the popu-
lation seems due to the fact that while
the ratio of births remains about the
same as in former years the mortality
especially in infants. has increased
enormously. Like other cities, those
OF France, particularly Paris, drew a
large part of their population from
the coun ry districts, and whatever af-
feots the population of the latter
affects the former. The rate of infant
mortality for the whole of France is
now 10 per cent, and in Normandy
~ per cent. 1t is plain to be seen
that unless some means is found by
which this percentage can be reduced
the fear that the beginning of the
twentieth century will see less number
OF people in France than live there
to-day will be realized.

fFrom the Philadelphia Recordl
The officers and crew of the schooner
Edward Waite, of Portland, Me-, which
arrived at this port Saturday, are posi-
tive that they fell i'll with genuine sea-
serpent on thetvoyage from Cardenas to

point the morning OF the 14th, and
were more than half way to Cape Henry
when we sighted strange disturbance
OF the ocean. 1t was my watch, and
there were several men on deck at the
time. We thought at first that it was a
whale, but as it did not blow we con-
clnded it was large shark, although
some OF the men who were watching it
said that it was too large for a shark. The
thing, whatever it was came nearer and
nearer, as if charging for the vessel, and
we began to get little excited. We
noticed also, as it came within rea-
sonable distance, that the things head
was raised out Of the water. It came
nearer and nearer. leaving long, wide
wake behind it and stirring up the wa.
ter into foam, like the paddles of a river

less than 250 yards, and we had full

that I forgot to call the captain, who
was below sleeping, but all OF the watch
saw the thing as plainly as I can see
the schooner there in the next dock. 1t
was o sea serpent, and no mistake. we
could only measure its size by the line
in the water, but could say that it was
fully ninety feet long, with head as
large and something like the shape OF
horses head. The most remarkable
thing about it was the color and size of
its eyes. They were of bright saffron

Extent of the Oceans.

From an interesting work by DIR,
Otto Krummel, of Gottingen, we learn
the extent of the different seas on our
globe. According to his calculations
the Atlantic Ocean has supe1fcies of
49, 429, ,46S square miles; Indian Ocean,
45, 462, 040 square miles; Pacific Ocean,
99,S95917 square miles. Thus the to-
tai superficies of the three largest
oceans is 1874. 7S7, 425 square miles. The
Arctic Ocean has superfcies of 9, ,4S1, :
a94 square miles. In the Arctic Ocean
Hudson Bay has superfcies OF 663, ,249
square miles, and the White Sea 7,715
square miles; the Australian Sea, s.
l12,491 square miles; Mediterranean,
1.789,0 029 square miles; Baltic, 257, ,5s9
square miles; Red Sea, 273,944 square
mileF; Persian Gulf, LAG, S37 square
miles. Then comes the seas that Dr..
Krummel calls coast seas, namely:
North Sea, 339, 52G square miles; Sea of
Great Britain, 126, 800 square miles:
Sea of st. Laurent. 170,1O9 square
miles; China Sea, 761 ,632 square miles;
japan Sea, 647, ITO square miles; Sea of
Okhotsk, 934, TIT square miles; Behr-
ings Sea, ], ,440, 33S square miles; Sea of
Calliornia, lu3, CTS square miles. The
total superticies of these coastal seas is
A, ,523, AGO square miles. Adding the
Antartic Ocean, the superfcies of which
are calculated at 1896, ,236 square
miles, the total superfcies of ali the
seas is 23l,9l5,a ,a05 square miles, while
the total superticies of the continents

"a Man Taken into the Woods, Stripped OF
His Clothing, and Ordered to Leave.
CINCINNATI, o., March 4.-A dispatch
from Corning, o., Gays that fortnight
ago a. 3. McDevitt,a q druggist of Corn.
ipe, caused the arrest of the Rev. Father
O'Boylan, the pastor of the Catholic
church of that place, for permitting the
running of wheel of fortune at church
fair. The arrest of Father O'Boylan
created a sensation and divided the com.
munity into two parties, one of which
supported the druggist and the other
the priest. Sunday Father O'Boylan
during the course of his sermon violently
denounced McDevitt, saying he was a
villain and no better than murderer.
The church was crowded, and the con-
gregation became very much excited. In
the evening, during q binding snow
storm, party Of eight armed men went
to McDevitt's store, and, finding
him alone, ordered him to march
down the street before them. He begged
to be allowed to get his hat and
oyercoat, but was hurried out bare-
headed. Driving him before them for
q mile through the snow to a lonely
piece of woods the men ordered him to
undress. Each garment as it was taken
off, was torn to shreds and the pieces
thrown to the wind. When entirely
naked they commanded him to kneel in
the snow and swear that he would never
show his face in Corning again. Leav-
ing their shivering victim still kneeling
they returned to the village. McDevitt
has not been seen since, and it is feared
he has persisted. At the time the dis
patch was sent a party of men were
searching the woods for him. Public
feeling is reported as low SO intense
that serious disturbances feared.

LONDON sLUMs.

The Prince Of Wales recently left his
luxurious home and visited the sluns
of the Holborn Hill district Of London.
He went there to collect information in
regard to the life of the poor, SO as to
assist him as member of the royal
commission on the dwellings, of the
poor. It is reported that he saw enough
to justify the objects of the co1amis-
sion. II the pictures which Dickens
has drawn OF the London poor are visi.
BILE to- day, the prince must have seen
more than enough to convince him that
measures to alleviate cir wretched-
ness or brighten their surroundings
would barely answer the plesiings of
humanity. Every great city has its
dark quarters, where poverty, squalor,
vice and crime exist and flourish, If
the royal commission, with the princes
assistance, can purify this pestilentisl
atmosphere and let light into these dark
homes, the heir to the throne will have
at least one good achievement to his
credit t- eay.#

A passenger conductor remarked yes-

merclal travellers, lecturers, show
agents, actors and actresses. They eat
more meals in hotel.cars and railroad
meal-stations than they do at home or
IN hotels. They spend more nights in
sieeplng-car hunks than in beds. To a
person who travels only occasionally it
is interesting to note how thoroughly
equipped these professional journeyers
are. Upon entering a sleeping car early
IN the evening, for instance, they remove
their shoes and put on slippers, hang
their hats up and put on silk travelling.
caps, take off their coats and put on u
short sack coats or smoking jackets.
In the morning, when the occasional
traveller, obliged to wear the only cloth.

compartment in his coat and vest, and
thus struggles in an effort to cleanse his
skin without :soaping his sleeves or coat
collar, these professionals again excite
