SCIENCE AND FICTION.

The Manner in Which the Two Are In-
dcbted to Each Other.
The bonds linking together science
and fiction are already strong. Science
owes to our novelists much of its inter-
est. much of its publicity. The scientist
slowly and laboriously hammers out
some new discovery, some recognition
of the individuality of certain group
OF symptoms which had been previously
lost in tho crowd; wearicd with his
work, he too often launches this discov-
cry, with all the ugliness of tcchnicality
hanging around it like convict's dress.
betokening the hard labor through
which it has passed; and then some
good Samaritan of novelist turns out
of his way to take pity on it, to lavish
care upon il, to clothe it anew, to at
tract TO it the attention of the public
and thus to save it from death through
neglect. II is introduced into good So
cicty, and 1t thrivcs, and perhaps be-
comes II leading topic of conversation
for II short time.
But if the scientist has reason to be
grateful, so also has the novelist. New
facts have been given TO him, new mar
ycls to dlate upon and make his own;
lie has been supplied with new modes OF
escape from tho web of intrcacics with
which he has cntanglcd his characters.

AN ANCIENT RUIN.
History of the Picturesque Circular
Church at Charleston.

History of the Picturesque Circular
Church at Charleston.
Tho ruins Of Circular Church. one Of
the most picturesque ruins Of Charles
ton, is about to disappear as one of the
city's landmarks. Tho church, or
rather all that was left of it after tho
great fire of 1861, has been q point Of
interest to every visitor TO Charleston
for the past twenty-five years, and with
its twin relic, st. Finbar's cathedral, is
soon to pass out OF existence as an Or
namental ruin. Its crumblng walls
and its "coignes of vantage" on its
topping tower have been the resort Of
tho doves and sparrows for an Indefinite
number of years, and its ivy-clad walls
have made up n picture Of sad and
pathetic interest.
According to the information given
in Mayor Cour'enay's Year Book of
1882, the church was constituted be-
tween the years 1880 and 1890. Its
founders were Presbyterians from Scot
land and Ireland, Congregationalists
from England and New England, and
French Protestants who had en- grated
to South Carolina upon the revocation
of the cdct of Nantes. The first three
ministers of the church arc supposed to
have been congregatonal;sts. The
popular name of tho original church
was the "White Meeting" name
which was evidently applied from the
color of tho building In consequence
of the revolutionary war the church re-
manned without permanent minister
for SIX years, but in 1888 regular
service was resumed. Tho or g:nal
building used by the congregation was
only forty feet square, but in 1772 tho
demand for pews nccessitatod the con-
struction ofn new church. which was
erected in 1887 on Archdale street In
1904 it was determined to build new
and handsome edifice in circular form,
cighty-eight feet interior diameter. The
church was dedicated in 1906, and in
1888 Il lofty and graceful spiro was
added. 1t was from the latter date an
ornament to the city until it was burned
in 1861.
1t is now proposed by the congrega-
ton to erect II new building on the site
of the old one. The object of the con-
gregaton is being mater ally furthorcd

the United States. Savannah (Ga.)

to point out all the lines which might

that preparation for, and participation
in, the discussion would furnish, are
given no chance. The best farmers

of twelve or thirteen famil es,
enough SO they can meet once n month,

have one extra family, so that in case of
SICKNESS or any good reason why FAM
ily can not take the club at the time rs.
signed, the extra family can take it.
The advantages of the small club arc:
]. Tho members are all thoroughly ac-
quainted with each other from the
start. 9. The attendance is sure to bc
regular. for in small organization of
this kind each member knows he will
be missed. and ten years observation
in two clubs of this kind has shown me
that member is rarely absent unless
unavoidably detained. In such club
every member is put on duty. Tho
president assigns to tho members their
parts for each meeting and sees that all
are called out, and every member takes
part, and even the most timid soon find
it easy 10 do duty. Our programme is
prepared year in advance and print
cd. in which is given the place and time
of meeting, and the topics and various
sub-topics to be discussed. w b.

An Elephants Good Memory.

where such things as potatoes. apples.
cakes and candies are sold. He found
that the shop was closed, but, nothing

and helped himself to apples, pota-
toes, and even 10 tho candies in
Jars on the shelves. What

aroused, SO silently did the huge crea-
ture 60 about his work OF robbery; but
upon the elephants return toward the
tent. the keeper came up to him. In
tho morning it got all ovor town that
there had been n robbery, but later it
was learned that the robber was u foul

According to some enthusiastic trav-

its climate is that of the golden nge, a

autumn all blended. while above this
lovely valley with its verdant hills rise

the snow-clad peaks burst into flame
and showers of mud and ashes. and the
green valleys are torn by earthquakes.
In one province, Riobamba, tho
valley, one hundred and thirty miles IN
length, is covered with volcanic debris,

mountain knots are full of the quina or

was thought that Lola was the only
place where it grew to anything like
perfection.
The capital city. from which the prov
ince takes its name, lies in the valley of
Caxi-pambu, between the rivers Maa-

Villonaco. and is well built, with con-
