The Heroine Of "Iyanhoe. -

Rebecca Graft died many wears ago.
In her younger days she resided with
her parents In Philadelphia. She had q
warm friend, Miss Hoffman, of New
/. ork, and the two girls were in the
habit Of paying periodical visits to each
other in their respective cities. Miss
Hoffman was the betrothed of Washing
ton Irving, but before the marriage
could take place consumption claim ed
the fair New York girl, and she sue
cumbed to the disease, tenderly nursed
on her death-bed by her friend, ,Rebecca
Gratz. Irving, who never recovered
from the loss of his first and only love,
naturally formed aswarm friendship for
his late sweethearts other self, Rebecca.
Miss Gratz was woman of singularly
pure thought and hight of mind. She
felt keenly the slight cast upon her race
and creed. for in those days the Jewsish
disability laws still existed in England,
and very few of the .chosen people"
were admitted into the best American
society. During Washington Irving's
travels in Europe, Miss Graft and he
were in constant correspondence. The
hhOtiSoh autioA was WdIHllN IcCclNcu
by English writer's With Walter Scott
he sojourned several weeks. At that
time Scott had not avowed the author
ship of the Waverley series of novels.
but to Irving he confded his secret,
and also told him that he (Scott) was at
work on anew book, "Ivanhoe." The
two authors discussed the plot of
"Ivanhoe" together and particularly
the character of the Jewess Scott was
introducing. s'What shall 1 call herr"
asked Scott. 'aCall her .Rebecca, re-
piled Irving, his thoughts wandering to
the Rebecca of his friendship. Irving
dwelt on the noble traits in Miss GRATIS
character to his friend, and especially
drew attention to her steadfastness of
creed and the grandeur but melancholy
of her thoughts. Scott was filled with
sympathy for her character. When
''1nvanhoe" was eventually published
Sir Walter sent one of the first copies to
his American friend, with a long and
letter. A line in it read:
"How does my 'Rebecca' fit in with
your 'Rebecca?' "-Philadeiphia Tsle-

The ZOiiacal Light.

The cause of the luminous phenome-
non known as the zOdiacal light has
long been the subject of speculation,
and numerous hypothesis have been
suggested to account for it. A cores
pondent of Cosmos les Mosdes regards
the entire phenomenon as one of the
reflection of light. What we observe
is nothing but the reflection of that part
of the earth which is illuminated shortly
before the sun rises and after it sets. In
order to understand this we must as
sumo that the earth is surrounded for
certain distance by a comparatively
dense envelope of gas, beyond which
the latter exists in a state of great atten-
uation. We therefore have two media
of different density which influence the
rays of light in the well known way,
refracting them up to certain limiting
angle of incidence, beyond which total
reflection takes place.
If we imagine the sun a little below
the horizon, part of the earth directly
in front of us will reflect the rays of the
sun at very obtuse angle; these rays,
meeting the boundary Of the media at a
very Obtuse angle, will be totally re-
ilected, and it is these totally reflected
rays which we see.
This explains the appearance of the
light in the shape of a cone whose line
is always inclined in the direction of
the ecliptic, and whose base is toward
the sun; it also accounts for the fact that
the changes observed in its appearance
follow a. reverse order in the evening
from that in the morning. The reason
why the cone is longer in the evening
than in the morning is that the layer of
dense atmosphere is expanded by reason
Of its exposure to the suns radiation
through the entire day, whereas in the
the reverse is the case

The Territorial Prison.

A visit to the Prison will well repay anyone interested in such institutions. At present 132 prisoners are confined on different charges of crime and for various terms. All are employed in some capsc. ity. The inside yards look as neat and clean as though they were the grounds of some individual or firp. The greater majority of the prisoners are engaged at present in the construction of walls and cells and grading the hIll adjacent to the prison, the latter being made immedi- ately necessary for obtaining rock mate- rial for the construction of the new cells and the walls. All the prisoners enjoy the best of health and appetite, none ever missing a meal with the exception of those who by their misconduct are con- fined in what Is termed the "snake den.' The improvements being made are of the most permanent character, and reflect great credit upon the judgment of the Superintendent. While Captain Ingalls requires the strictest obedience to orders and is most exemplary disciplinarian, his method of enforcing prison rules is of such character that the prisoners all esteem him and have but the kindliest feelings toward him and the guards. The sanitary condition of the prison is one that speaks extremely well for the insti- tutlou. But one death has occurred since the first Oi January, anu that was caused by an accident which occurred 6 few weeks ago. Bat eleven deaths have Oc- cured since the formation ef the prison, and but one from a disease which can be said 10 have been contracted while in side the walls. This speaks we'll not only for the present. management but all past oseS, Few institutions in the ceun- try can show as good a record as the the present management, and while it is necessary 10 have institutions for the confinement of criminal classes, the conduction of this prison plainly demon- strates that, while strict discipline and surveillance n ust be kept, humanity, even with the pariahs of society, will have a good effect upon the conduct of men.
