NEW YEARS THOU GIFTS.


ny MRS. LOU. S. BEDFORD.
We stand to-day ON the beach OF time,
Whence we gaze far out at sea,
Whose waters tenderly lave our feet,
Then dance back laughingly;
But each ripping wave bears from the shore
a grain of the cleaning sand,
Aud Trailer becomes our hold on Garth,
And narrower grows the strand.
in vain we stretch our imploring hands
out toward the hooking sea-
The grains we thought of so little worth
Are gone from our grasp for aye;
Tho little we doomed MS quick they swept
on their way, so Joyously,
That they held perchancc In their tiny olaEp,
The seals OF our destiny.
For the hours are simply grains OF sand
That drop from the tlde-washed shore,
And lost In the seethlng food OF years,
Can be gathered upno more;
Yet they leave an Impress MS they pass
From our grasp so silently,
That will tell in the light of the Great Day
And throughout eternity.
AM solemn tnougnt, tnut ehcn iule WORD
Sent forth on the wings ofalr,
And, seemingly lost In Lethestlde,
VIII waken Ia memory there;
Aye, from the sea OF Oblivion,
And the lonely vale of tears,
bike ghostly shadows will memrics come
Gray mists from the silent years.
For lol the Recording Angel stands
In our presence day and night,
And notes each action, and word and tho't-
Tho yelled from our mortal sight;
Nor can we erase the simplest limo
From the page, once pure and fair
The lines will stand nj the final day
As the Angel shall trace them there.
Then precious indeed TO usshould be
The hours that so swiftly fly,
Lest hap'ly they bear, on their light wings,
Regrets for the "By and BY"
And thrice blesi is that one who doth know
His name ia "written In heaven"
To whom the R0deomer hath enli, "Thy

Killed or Wounded.
Every fresh detail from the districts In
which the earthquake shock was severest adds
new horror TO the calamity. At Nera, town
of 5000 people, in the province of Malaga, the
earthquake was followed by a hurricane. Ihls
finished the destruction of many houses which
had already been brought TO the brink of ruin
by the shock. The inhabitants fled in terror
and camped outside the town. Much suffer-
ing has been caused by the scarcity OF proyi.
sions. Two lofty chimneys, forming part Of
the gas works fell to the earth. The patients IN
the hospital were so terrified that they forgot
their maladies and fed to the open air. The
convicts in the prison refused to enter their
cells, and remained all night in the court
yard.
Albania and Santa Cruz wero completely
destroyed. Soldiers are at work clearing up
the ruins in search of corpses, which are found
in large numbers. Many of them are horribly
disfgured. The number Of persons kill ed is
still unknown. There is no doubt, however,
that the report which fixed the number as
900 is an exaggeration. There is much dis
tress among the survivors, and people are ask
ing for relief.
At Albunuelas 200 persons received injuries
more or less serious. From the ruined houses
100 bodies have so far been recovered. The
barracks at Lola, in the province oil Granada,
were ruined. At Zqffarraya q town not fur
from l. ja, fifty persons persisted.
At Priego the shocks came while the theatre
was crowded. A terrible panic followed,
Many persons jumped from the galleries and
from the windows upon the crowd below
Two were killed outright and forty were in
iured.

Extended Search for Food Fish In
Southern Waters.
The fish commission steamer Albntross left
the Washington navy yard lately for Norfolk,
Va, where she will remain until January 8,
and then sail for southern waters on cruise
OF several month"; The principal object of
the cruise will be to make II thorough research
OF the fishing grounds Of the Cult of Mexico,
an order to ascertain tho abundance and
varieties of the food fishes that may be c,p
tured in that local ty. The ship will probably
make several dredgings in the vicinity of Cape
Hatteras, where it is believed that the tile fish
exist, although none have ever been found in
that region. This valuable food fish was dis
covered in great abundance on the edge of the
gulf stream about 100 miles from Newport, II.
L., and it is surmised that they must exist
further south. II found there in any quantity,
at will be valuable source of industry to the
fishermen Of the southern coast. The Alba

at New Orleans and Pensacola. Several
scientists will join the vessels at either of the
last named places and finish the cruise

Incenscd Because French Vessels are
Permitted to Reflt at Hong Kong.
Private dispatches received by mercantile
houses in London from their correspondents in
China indicate that grave danger is impend,
ing which may involve several Of the European
powers in the Franco-C Chinese quarrel. Ac.
cordlng TO these dispatches the Canton officials
are fcafully incensed Mt the action of tho
English authorities in allowing the coaling, re.
pairing, and revictualling of French men-of-
war at the English port of Hong Kong. The
English Governor of the Island of Hong Kong,
maintains that as long as France has not de.
clared war against China the vessels of France
have as good a right to put into the port of Vic.
toril as those ofChina, and, as their reftting
makes trade good in the city, he does not pro
pose to stop It, The Chinese officials have
now decided that if the Victorians continue to
give aid and comfort to the enemy, they will
retlliate by prohibiting the expectation OF pro.
visions from the main land to the island OF
Hong Kong.

Secretary Chandler has issued general Or
der to all employees of the Navy Department
with regard to the absence OF any provision for
payment after Dec. 81, in which he says the
naval service must be lawfully maintained
without such appropriations. All the officers
and seamen Of the navy will continue to per-
form the if respective duties under existing Or
ders, and theirpay and emoluments will con-
sttute lawful debts of the Government. All
necessary contracts and purchases of clothing,
subsistence, forage, fuel, quarters and trans
portation for the current year will be duly
made and vouchers will be issued therefor, but
the holders must be inform d that payments
will depend upon future appropriations for the
purpose. Civil employees wi be allowed to
continue on duty where the work in which they
are engaged is necessary to the maintenance
of the naval service, provided they will stipu-
late that they work voluntarily rendered with
out contract or agreement, and tn It the hold
ers will have no claim for compensation I'M
lie Congress shall make an appropriation.
Therefore, no services OF employees not ap-
propriated for will be accepted after Dec, 81,

EXPERIMENTS With IRON
An Explanation OF Many Accidents 60
Hallway Bridges.

An explanation OF Many Accidehts 70
Railway bridges.
For fourteen years State Geologist Collet
Of Indiana has been experimenting upon a be-
lief that the best of iron, when subjected to
continuous strain, would undergo changes In its
structure, which would, after a time, render its
use dangerous, and that in these structural
changes was the explanation OF many other
wise unexplainable accidents, particularly to
railway bridges. He hns lately undertaken a
systematic Investigation, which has resulted in
confirmation of his theory. For experiment,
he took from the Wabash dam at Delphi a
number of bolts and spikes, which were when
the dam was constructed, the b st quality of
malleable bar iron, as is shown by the batter
ing of the heads when they were put into
the structures. He found that 10 per cent
Of the whole number were as weak as cast
iron, while 80 per cent. of those which were
near the bottom of tho dam were worth
less. Of those which were rotten
the tips, when broken, showed polished ends
to the connecting f5res, indicating
that the continued vibrations of many
years had polished and rounded
the points of fibrous structure. A sim
liar effect is found in the "partings" or
"horseback" in coal mines, which become
polished and striated by the continuous CULVER
and motion Of tho crust of the earth. DIR. Col
let says that all car axles, after a reasonable
run, become crystallized two-thirds of the
length from the hub, and onc-third from the
outside extremity, rendering them worthless.
On one Indiana railway bridge he found that
the bottom parts OF the vertical strain pieces
were crystalized from two to four feet in
length, and, as precaution against what would
have caused q great catastrophe,
thov Vera renlaoad Tho N, ,ttpr ia ono of great
interest to railways, and the specimens which
DIR. Collet has collected in his experiments are
to be sent to Stel he IS chronological Institute,
whore an Investigation of the subject has been
in progress for several years by scientist con-
nected with tie insttnte.
