There is no more curious sight than
the Brooklyn terminus of the great
bridge al 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
The cars are then run at about a minute
and a half Roadway, as they call it, by
which they mean that two cars are
emptied on the Brooklyn side about
that hour in every minute and a half.
The passengers then descend a stairway
to the street, but, Notwithstanding the
interval of time named, the procession
of people is unbroken during the rush
of business. A constant stream of men
and women, seven and eight abreast, is
to be seen descending these stairs.

There are other curious facts TO be

Mr.. Robert Bonner is not making as
much noise in the world as he was ten
or fifteen years ago, when he was push
ing his story paper in every possible
manner He has become very rich, and
may be pardoned if he slackens some
what from the very rapid business pace
at which he for so many years lived.
There are plenty of printers in New
York who set type with Mr.. Bonner on
the old New York Tribune, and some Of
them told Mr.. Bonner that he was max
ing a grave error when he threw up a
good situation to embark upon an un-
certain enterprise. Yet these men are
setting type, and Mr.. Bonner is worth
well on toward So, 900, 900.
His scheme was a good one, and it
paid from almost the very start. 1t
succeeded more through the business
tact of its proprietor than in conse-
quence of great excellence in the publ
cation itself, although Mr.. Bonner spent
money for good matter with great lfber-
atty just as o as he got the money
to spend. His advertising methods
were new at that time, and once under
Roadway the business grew with
great rapidity. Mr.. Bonner still
goes to his desk every day
and looks with the same care after a
thousand details, but he is also taking a
deal of enjoyment out of everyday life.
He is a very benevolent man, and he is
constantly helping persons whom he
knows TO be deserving. He delights in
nothing so much es his horses, how
ever, and no does not let a pleasant day
pass without going out for a whirl
through the park and up the road, as the
drive above Central park is called. He
is very much of a student, and he en-
joys his home. and his books almost as
well as his drives and his horses.

The question As TO the magical or the
scientific value Of the ''divining rod"
has just been reopened by the success
which has attended its use at the Flet-
ton wagon works of the Midland Rail
way company, England, with reference
TO the discovery Of a permanent supply
Of water. According to The Sanitary
World Uondon), the company requires
to use about soc or COO gallons of
water every day, and the well on their
premises yielded only one-half of that
quantity. II was necessary, therefore,
to supplement the supply by the sinking
of other wells or by the construction of
an expensive system of piping. The
former plan was preferred, and two
new wells were sun to no purpose.
The services Of a gentleman of the
district, who bore the reputation Of be-
ing skilled in the art Of discovering
water by means of the .'diyining rod,
were then called in. This wizard or ex-
pert employed for his purpose a forked
hazel twig, holding one prong of the
fork in each hand, the points of the
fork being directed to the sky. After
walking about the promises for some
time, the point Of the fork suddenly be-
gan to bend down, purely, as the best
evidence goes, of its " accord, and to
point to the earth. The wielder of the
wand declared that here would be found
a plentiful supply of water. The same
indications were repeated at another
spot, where the twig snapped
from tho violence of its spontaneous
and sympathetic motion, and the same
confident assertions were made with
reference TO the occurrence of water
assertions which the results obtained
by actually sinking wells amply justi-
fed, the quantity of water to be OBJ
tanned being apparently inexhaustible.
Other persons essayed to use the wand,
but it rebelled against the usurpation
of its owners functions, and remained
contumacious and irresponsible. If any
persons, adds the writer, require water
in unlikely localities, it might be we'll
to secure the services Of this diviner be-
fore he volunteers for a patriotic mis-
sion in favor of the troops in the thirsty
wilds of the Soudan.

Edwin Forrest played an engagement
at Washington in January, 1871, and
large audiences went to sec him, partly
out Of curiosity and partly to compare
him with younger tragedians. Although
well advanced in the autumn of life. he
appeared somewhat as he had a quarter
of a century before. lie was n heavy,
imposing man, Of large stature, a good
head, deeply engraved features, a car
riage Of dignity, and that great voice,

was exquisite, and in its highest
compass was like a lions roar. lie was
older, and he showed it in his legs,
with their lumpy and set muscles, desti-
tute of the roundness of youth, in the
heavy eyes, the smile which he Appeared
to lift to his face with as much labor as
the drawing of cold water from a deep
well, the easy adaptability with which
he assumed aged parts and his utter
failure to simulate youth.
The defects of Mr.. Forrest were those
incnrable traits and mannerisms, partly
inseparable from his o'er-ample phys
ique, and partly acquired in those years
ofN his fame when the pit oc-
cupsed the place of the present orehes-
ira igor. Some of these were the work
ing OF his jaw to express rage, the
particular malignity Of his smile when
there was no special occasion for any
thing lurid; the quaint soto voce way
he had on the eve of action, of mutter
ing his sentences at running speed, aud

Trees have been found in Africa
which were computed to be &, $50 years
old, and a cypress in Mexico is said to
have reached a still greater age. The
oldest individual specimen of any
species -in fact, the oldest living
thing upon the globe-is probably the
cypress of Santa Maria del Tule, in the
Mexican state of Oaxaca. If estimates
of tree ages are to be relied upon the
life Of this venerable forest monarch
may have SPAWNED the whole period of
written history. At last accounts it was
still growing and in 1901, when Hum
bolt saw it, it measured forty-two feet
in diameter, 146 in circumference and

Russian Meat Expectation

The Russians of the Baltic provinces
have not been slow in following the ex-
ample of Americans and Australians
who are supplying the English market
with frozen meat. According to The
Moscow Gazette, n large company has
been formed at Libau for the exporta-
ton of meat. At one time it had to
suspend operations because of American
competition; at present, however, bust
ness appears TO flourish. The scale on
which the company is carried on may
be inferred by the fact that unless
81, 500, 900 are realized per annum the
company will not be able to declare a
dividend. The slaughter-h house at Libau
is so constructed as to enable the com
pany to kill 10000 head OF cattle
annually.

A more beautiful farming country
does not exist than that along the
southern shore of the Baltic. No fences
marx the boundaries of the fertile farm ,
which stretch away over the rolling
hills TO the distant horizon, all aglow
with yellow grain At intervals a
clump Of trees, often seen intensely
dark against the ripe grain, shows
where n farm house stands, and
giant windmills swing their sails
on the highest hill-tops. The
Highway, a finely built chaussee,
leads straight across the coun-
try, only curving to pass through some
village. Mountain, ash, birch, and
cherry trees border the road in an IN
broken lank. In the bitches and by
the road grow countless varieties of wild
iowors-a perfect paradise for the
botanist. From the highest hill the eye
meets to the south a succession of grain
fields. To the north, beyond the
soft fluctuations of the cultivated hills,
the Baltic shimmers in the strong sun.

New solution of aa Old Puzzle.

A German physicist attributes the
well-known phenomenon Of the appar-
ent enlargement Of the sun and moon,
when rising or setting, to two physio-
logical causes. One is the greater
sen~sitiveness of the eye to angular mag
nitudes when seen horizontally: and
the other is an effect of the diIation of
the pupil under the feebler light reach
ing us from the heavenly bodies when
near the horizon, such dilation tending
to magnify the images received. lie
finds experimental proof Of these the
cries, and shows the ahsurdity OF the
common ox. lanation that intervening
objects enable us better to e.,. ..late the
real size of the sun and moon.
