! morning when the check was missed /;
he had come back to the Office after the
clerks were gone, and had then opened
Crump's safe with his own key and alb
stracted the blank check This check
he had himself filled up and signed with
| the firms signature in the usual way, so
there was little wonder that the cashier
at the bank paid it without any suspl-
cion. He had, no doubt, calculated
that the bank would have to bear the
loss; but, as 1t was, he had cheated Mr..
Ii vesey outof two thousand pounds,
| for, as he him self had but third share
in the business, only one thousand out
of the three had to come out OF his own
pocket.
Mr.. Mason saved his partner the
trouble of trying whether he could make
him criminally responsible for what he
had done; for when the police went to
look for him he had disappeared. Prob
ably he had seen Robert Carter follow
ing his accomplice. and, scenting dan
ger, had saved himself while there was
time 1t turned out afterward that he
had been speculating largely on the
Stock Exchange and was sorely in need
of money to pay his losses. 1t was some
! consolation to Mr.. Livesey to think that
his dishonest partner had not pro6ted
much by his theft.
AS for Walter Crump, he was offered
his old place, with an apology and
handsome present to boot; and he still
keeps the books which he had so long
under his care. He has not quite over
come his prejudice against Robert Carter,
and he always regarded it as hard
thing that he should have to owe his
reputation and his dellverance from
poverty to that particular young gentle
man However, as things were he could
do no less than inform Carter that he
had done him an injustice, and that he
would be happy to see him in the even
ing whenever it suited him to call. The
color came back to Annie's cheek and
the light to her eyes when she heard the
good news; and it was not many weeks
before she became the promised wife of
the young man who discovered the secret
of The Mysterious Forgery Whitehall

The Origin of Cyclones.

In a paper on the Conservation of
Energy in the Atmosphere, DR.. Werner
Siemens gives the following theory of
the origin of cyclones: The comparative
vacuum formed the centre of cyclone
can produce suction only in the direction
of the axis of the cyclone, thus either
raising the water upon the surface over
which it rotates, or drawing down air
from the higher regions of the atmos-
phere. The existence of such a descend
ing current of air within a tornado is
con rmed by the clear sky and quiet air
often observed at its centre We must
imagine, says DR.. Siemens, a local
cyclone as produced by an impulse of
superheated air, due to some local cause
or other, given at the DO nd ries of an
upper and lower tract of isturbance of
he neutral equilibrium of an atmosphere
at rest, which reaches the boundary of
the upper cooled strata of air, which
have a tendency to descend. We must
thus have an outer descending current
formed round the ascending one, by
cans of which as much air desce ds as
has been carried up by the ascending
current. If the disturbance of equii-
brium embraces extende upper and
lower strata of air, the descending
masses will produce an increase of pres
sure in the neighborhood of the cyclone,
gradually extending to the surface of
the earth, and on the other hand into
the highest regions of the air, and trans
fer its els Ui"0 con inuaily into W
superheated masses of air VIII ch ascend
in the cyclone, while part f the des
cending external cyclone circulating in
the same direction ascends again with
the inner, and transfers it to part of
the ris = "a gained in the higher regions
of the air. The course of the centre of
the cyclone is then etermincd by the
direction of the mean velocity all the
air masses forming the cyclone, and its
duration is that of The disturbance of
the neutral equilibrium of the atmos-
pherc which called it forth and maintains
it. The local ascending current, by
carrying dust and particles with it, may
al produce rain by condcnsing the
aqueous vapOr of the higher straits. -

Explorers Who have Crossed Africa
The ninth white man to cross Africa

The ninth white man to cross Africa
from sea to sea in tn, central regions
has recently reached Zanzibar, and is
now on his way home. He is Lieut..
Gleerup, who for three years has been
in the service of the International Asso-
citation. When his term of service ex-
pired nine months ago he was at Stanley
/ Fails station on the Congo. He was at
liberty to make comfortable voyage
down the river on q steamer, and could
have reached the Atlantic in about
month. He chose, however, to make
the toilsome eight months march to
Zanzibar with an Arab caravan de-
spatched by Tlppu Tib, the great Cen
tral African slave and ivory dealer.
Three years on the Congo had not i'm
pared his vigor or dulled his appetite
for African adventure. His route was
up the Congo to Nyangue, and then
almost east to Tanganyika and the In
dian Ocean.
Lieut.. Gleerup will doubtless be able
to give many interesting facts about the
Gepots the Arabs have established on
the Upper Congo and their remarkable
advance down the river, where, for seF-
eral hundred miles, their influence is
much greater than that of the Congo
State. He also passed through the new
German possessions, and will be ablesto
acquaint us with the progress of this
unique and predetermined enterprise.
Thirty-four years ago Livingstone
was the first white man to cross Africa.
1t was in this famous trip from Loanda
to the Indian Ocean that he revealed
the upper Zambesi valley to the world
and discovered the great Victoria Falls.
Ten years ago Came: on crossed the con-
tinent from Zanzibar to Benguela,
thwarted in his ambition to follow the
Congo to the sea by his inability to pro-
cure canoes. Stanley littlelater solved
the Congo problem. Wlssmann, five
years ago, was the first to cross the con-
tinent from west to east, traversing much
new territory and discovering monarch
in Central Africa who was able to honor
his visitor by opening a bottle of cham
pagne from Paris. About the same
time Matteuci and Massari followed a
route that was supposed to be imprac-
ticable, travelling from the Red Sea
through the fierce Mohammedan States
south of the Sahara and attaining the
mouth of the Niger in safety, though so
fever worn that Metteuci died the very
week he reached London. Capelo and
Ivens, in their great journey two years
ago from the Atlantic to the Indian
Ocean, explored the sources of the
Congo. Gleerup completes the list of
travellers who have crossed the continent
within the tropics.

MYSTERIOUS FORGERY.

1t was bleak October morning, and
Mr.. Walter CTump, cashier to the firm
of Messrs. Livesey & Mason, quickened
his pace as he made his way along
Throgmorton street to the scene of his
daily toll
At length he reached the we'll known
staircase, opened the office door, and
stood still for a moment in surprise
Young Carter, the assistant bookkeeper,
was there before him, already at his
work. Mr.. Crump smiled grimly.
$50 you've made beginning, young
man" he said. ''Well, we'll see."
Carter's face flushed little as he bade
the older man good morning. The fact
was that Crump had a bright eyed
daughter named Annie, with whom
Robert Carter had fallen very much in
love. Mr.. Crump did not like young
Carter. He suspected that the young
man irequented music hall and spent
more money on cheap cigars, novels and
outings than was proper for one in his
position. Besides, Mr. Robert Carter
was usually the last OF all the clerks to
make his appearance in the morning,
and this was, in Mr.. Crump's eyes, a
very bad sign. 1t was plain to the old
man that Carter was now making an at
tempt to earn his good opinion.
Soon the other clerks began to arrive,
and then came Mr. Mason, the acting
partner, a tall, pale man, with long,
b ack whiskers. Nj. Livesey, the senior
partner, only came TO the office twice a
week, to examine the bank book and
see how things were going on. NJ.
Mason opened the letters, and soon
appeared at Mr.. Crump's desk with a
small sheaf of them in his hand. These
were letters in response to which small
sums of money had to be sent, and it
belonged to Mr.. rump to attend to
them, for he had authority to sign checks
for the firm for sums up to five pounds.
Mr. Crump first made list of the
payments he had to make and then went
to his safe for his check book. AS he
opened it to write the first check he
was surprised to find that the counter
foil belonging to the last check which
had been taken from the book was not
filled up.
IF the blank check had been stolen,
the theft must have been committed last
nIght-or this morning? Could the safe
have been opened before his arrival2
He remembered Carter's unusually early
appearance, and threw a suspicious
glance at the young man.
Then simpler solution of the matter
occurred to him. 1t was very possible
that, in tearing ont the last cheek he
had torn out two by mistake, folded
them up, and sent them off together.
He determined to write at once to Mar
shall S Company, merchants in Liver
pool, to whom he had sent his last check,
and ask whether blank check had not
been sent to them by mistake.
Then the question arose--should he
mention the circumstance to Mr. Mason?
On consideration Mr.. Crump thought
that iJ was not necessary to do so. Mr..
Mason was rather a hard man to deal
with and a confession would ruin the
char .cter for carefulness which the
cashier had so long enjoyed. And he
fail expected that in two days at most
he would get letter from Liverpoo!
enclosing the slip of paper which had
cost hun so much anxiety.

THE FUNERAL.

was walking in Savannah, past church de-
oayed and dim,
When there slowly through the window came
a plaintive funeral hymn;
And sympathy awakened, and wonder
quickly grew,
Till I found myself onviyoncd i'll little ne
gro pew.
Out at front a coIoroI couple sat in sorrow
nearly wild;
On the altar was a coffin. in thc coffin was y

protruding lip
And perhaps had seen a thousand IL my hur-
ried southern trip.
But no baby ever rested in the soothing arms of
death
That had famed more flames of sorrow with
his little fiuttering breath;
And funeral ever glistened with more SYM
pathy profound
Than was in the chain Of tear drops that en-
clasped those mourners round.

wooden desk
With manner grandly awkward, with a
countenance grOtesque;
With simplicity and shrewdness on his Ethio-

With the ignorance and wisdom of a crushed,

And he said: '.Now dom be weepin' for dis
