PROGRAMME OF THE BALL.

The promenade concert began at nine
o'clock and lasted until eleven, during
which time the guests have been received,
The order Of dancing is put down for
eleven o'clock and twenty-three members
are on the programme. The United States
Marine Band, under John Philip Sousa,
will play for the promenade in anti phony
to the Germania Orchestra, ofPhiladelphia,
under Charles M. Schmitz. The music of
the latter is, perhaps, suggestive" Squat
ter Sovereignty" Manhattan" Hedge
Roses and Southern Roses" are on the
list.
One discovers in this vadc mecum of the
" great event" that the rooms on the north
and east sides of the hall are set apart as
supper and wine rooms, and that the cater
ers will serve guests at 81 per head, fur
nishing hot and cold dishes, salads, orna-
mental dishes, ices and creams, cakes,
fruits, etc.. Then there are four kinds Of
wine on the list, and, like the four great
divisions of the procession orthe four great
events of the day, any one Of them is caIcu-
lated to cause headache.

The great elephant, "Jumbo," was
killed while being transferred from his
tent to the cars at st. Thomas, Ont,
last week. p. 7. Barnum ordered his
skin stuffed, and it will be presented to
Tufts College, and the skeleton goes
to the Smithsonian Institute at WASH
ington.
1t appears from an interview had
with Mr.. A. Haight, of Barnum's
show, that Jumbo was killed while
trying to save the baby elephant Tom
Thumb, from impending death. The
keeper says that as soon as Jumbo saw
the train, which was only when it was
close upon him, he made a rush for his
protege, and grasping him in his trunk,
threw him way across the tracks as if
he had been but kitten. The little
fellow landed against box car and
lay there whining like whipped pup
py. Jumbo then tried to get out of
the way himself, but it was too late,
and he was crushed between the en-
CINE and the cars. He roared terribly,
but his agony was short. Not only
the engine, but five box cars were
crowded off the track. Tom Thumbs
leg was broken and he was shot We'd

Why Professor Langley DIdn't Ga
To Harvard.

Professor Langley was born at Rox-
bury (now Boston,, August 22, 1884.
Like many another Boston boy, he was
sent to the Boston Latin school, where
Latin and Greek aud little else was
taught.
Latin and Greek was reputed to be
the sum and end of learning, and Har-
yard college seemed to show dim per-
spcctives of moro Latin and Greek. II
was no wonder that young Langley,
whose genius lay in quite another d.
rection, should look about him, after
his graduation from the school, to see
II there were not some practical way
in which he could pursue those me-
chanical and astronomical studies that
already had fascinated him. He had
little inclination TO enter college, and
tho openings in astronomy proper were
very rare in those years, even rarer
than now. Since he was ten years
old, no had been reading and studying
astronomy, making small telescopes,
using these and others, with various
success, but always with ardor. Tho
practical question of how to shape his
lifc was one that he had solved, and a
variety of causes led to his determine
ton not to 60 to college, but to become
a civil engineer. Here at least was
profession whose basis was mathcmati-
cal, and in which mechanical tastes
and requirements would have scope.
So the practice of engineering was be-
gun; special circumstances forced him
into architecture, and for some years
this was his pursuit. These were dull
years, mostly spent in the West, where
at that time there were few opportuni-
ties to display any real ability in this
special calling.-ProteSsor E. $, Hol-
den, in Popular Science Monthly for

A bird s-cye view of our continent

Mountain-ranges stand in the way of
the spreading of moths, which perish
in the cold atmosphere and tho storms
which gather about the rocky submits.
Our fauna can DO understood by
studying the formation of tho land in
this way Over the vast plain east of
Colorado the same kinds of moths gen.
orally prevail. The valleys in the West,
on the other hand, contain majority
of peculiar species or kinds, ofton more
local in the East, In New York We
are cut of, again, by tho Alleghanies
from many species which are plentiful
in Ohio and Indiana. Our tropical
wanderers come to us up along the
coast, have met, sailing on the
Gulf stream, flights of moths, mostly
of few kinds, which fell on the rig
ging and sides of the vessels in great
numbers. In the autumn. on Staten
Island, | have captured specimens
whose true home was Cuba and Jamai-
ca. Although small fauna, or limits
of particular species, AGO traGnl by
naturalists, our mountain-rangcs are
the best general guide as to the changes
in the sorts of moths which we may
expect From Ohio to Louisiana wo
meet much tho same kinds of moths,
with difference in the rarity of GER
tain species, and in the presence of
others dependent on particular kinds
of plants. But, when we got into the
valleys of the Rocky Mountains. wo
shall have taken leave of the most Of
