POPE Plus TX.

A Introduction to One Of the Most Fa-
NOUS lsulers OF the Church.
Achamberlain opens the door for you,
loudly calling your name and titles. a
eamcriere follows behind you with a
large tray, on which are laid the objects,
ivory. gold, silk. silver. anything that
you have brought with 4 view of the
Pope blessing it, that YOU may bring it
to your Catholic friends. who look AT it
from that moment as 4 relic. You hold
in your hand whatever Offering YOU
hage yourself to lay ut the feet of the
Holy Father. Mind YOU, you are on
the threshold: now ONE the ceremon-
ial On the doorstep YOU have to kncel
down. You then get up and make three
stops and kneel down again. another
three steps and you knecl at the feet of
the padre santO and get hold of the hem
Of his robe. which either he lets you kiss
in all humility or he takes You by the
hand, lifts YOU up, and. after blessing
you, stretches out his hand toward the
tray which the cancricre holds and pro-
nOunces the blessing: I'm nOmine Pat
fis, ct Fill. ct Spiritus Sancti. Amen"
Whereupon she cansericre with the tray
disappears, the door shuts, and you are
left alone. The room isa very small

An Ingenious Apparatus Which Prints
Music a. 1t Il Being Played.
An apparatus has been invented
which, when placed in electric COM
m%unication with 4 pianOfortc or other
keyboard instrument, prints the music
as it is being played. The machine is
driven by clockwork. When in motion
a band of paper is drawn through the
machine, and during its passage is
ruled with the staff lines and passes
under a number CT small marking
wheels, which correspond to the keys
of the p%ianoforte, and it is here that
the music is recorded. The notation ia
which the music is recorded is nOt the
ordinary one. When 4 note is de-
pressed on the keyboard. which is il
connection with the recording machine.
the corresponding wheel will begin to
mark, and the length of the line made
will be in proportion to the length Of
note. Thus, if a line a quarter of an
inch i'm length represents 4 quaver, a
line an eighth of An inch will represent
a semi-quavcr. This system of nOta-
ton is easily translated into the ordin-
ary notation by n one who under
stands the latter. The connection with
the keyboard is obtained bya pin fixed
under each note. which dips into q small
cup of mercury. This arrangement in
no WAY interferes with the touch of the
key-bOard.-N. Y. Post.

SNAKES AND FROGS.

An Instructive Chat About Reptiles OF Va.
rious Families.
'SaiamandcrS." SAID Prof. Bickmore
in a recent lecture in the Museum OF
Natural History. ''arc sometimes
termed naked reptiles in distinction
from the snakes and others that are
covered with scales or plates. The
difference between the naked and the
scaly reptiles would at first glance ap.
pear slight. but the gap in reality
has been found by naturalists in their
studies greater bet wccn these tive
classes than it is betw cen the reptiles
and the birds. That is. there is 2
closer resemblance between snakes
and birds than between snakes and the
frog or Salamandcr.'
Snakes, said the lecturer. arc divided
into two general classes. those that are
poisonous and those that are not. The
boa-constrictor is the largest of the
non-poisonouS snakes in America, bu.
in India the anrcnnda or water boa at
tains still greater siz.. The largest on
record is enc that was taken by = nat
uraliSt in India and WAS forty feet long.
In its stomach was fpuna = horse tina:
had been crushed before it WAS swat.
lowed. Mr.. Bickmorc related an incl
dent of his w experience with e
pyti,on eighteen feet lnnr that WAS pre-
scented him in India. The snake es.
capped from a box in which it had bees
inclosed on board Il ship. and IN cx
citing struggle cnSu"d before it coul!
he killed. In prisoners snakes like the
ra~ttlesnakc two small sacks in the up
per pari IF the mouth hold the poison
ous fluid. and The fan@S are two hollow
teeth through which the poison passes
when the snake strikes its prey. The
species known rs the Frr-,!c-L Lance,
found i'm the West Indies, is the most
poisonous snake in this country: but
there is 4 sugar-eating snake in India
which is even more fatal to life.
The different species of lizards were
next described by Mr.. Bickmore. and 4
large number of them were shown ir
life colorS on the screen. One species
was present ID with Il fold of skin by
which it is enabled to fly like the flynn"
squirrel and the Bornco frog. and al
other with flat diSc-l;kc toes by which
it alhcrcs to the side OF a smooth wall.
The alligator and crocodile ranking
next in order. Mr.. Bickmorc said. are

which they can enter the water with

they carry. 4 valve in the throat closing
so as to prevent the water from enter

mems of restorcd skeletons of the early
geolo yical periods. when the saurus
and ottici gigantic reptiles existed. A
stone plate in tn: museum retains the
footprints of one of these Spccim ms.
Mr.. Bickmore was of tic opinion that
the stories of sch serpcnts are not
wholly sailors myths, but that some of
the ancient monsters may still exist in
the depths of the ocean.-N. ]. Tribune.

Gambling in France has passed

Days hen "a 1soy> LIE, was NOf AZ Easy
as - IL Now.
The winter apparel of boys even fifty
years ago wOnid be an interesting sub
ject. We lack the pen of General
Oliver to do it justice. The change
from those days to the present is some
thing woni rful. India-rIbbcr boots
and shoes were not then invented:
great coats were among rare things;
boys clothes were generally made over
from dads dress coat; trousers We're cat
down and Travelled through successive
boys. and finally eat up TO patch and
piece other clothes. Boy taiI"rS were
unheard of. ScamStr"SsrS passed from
house to house and fixed over the boys
clothes. eat ,iown and made over, etc
Ii a boy had Il grandmother. he could
count perhaps on 4 pair of WOODEN mits;
otherwise he went without. To pur-
chaSe such things was little thought of.
In the houses no furnaces. few stoves.

nowadays; warming-pans for beds ut

we're like two cakes of ice. Washing
was done by first breaking through the
ice found in the pitcher over night. All

done than that of the present day. in
spite of our modern improvements.
All that can b. said Of the boy of
half a century ago is that the fittcSt

days; and yet the boys. in my opinion.

jovment than is the case with boys of
to-day. TOYS, sledS. skates. balls and
marbles We're costly and rare. The
boys saved their pennies for a whole
year to be able to buy sled or 4 pair
of skates. Christmas presents We're
unknown. New Year. perhaps. brought
round \ something. and then most
generally a something useful rather
than playful. To-day boys no longer
treasure their things. They get them
for the asking. without effort on their
" part, and they are consequently
held in light esteem. This has cngen-
dered carelcSsness, dependence and
a of forcthOught in our boys. The
future seems all cut out for them.
They have only to sail along the placid
stream of life. and when trials and
financial disaster come, As they do to
most all of human kind sooner or later

TWO MORE TRUSTEES RESIGN-THE BoARI
WAITING FOR THE CoMMIsSIoNERs.

TWO MORE TRUSTEES RESIGN-THE BOARD
WAITING FOR THE COMMISSIONERS.
Messrs. Birney, Curtis, Purvis, Clarke and
Smith. of the school board, met at the Franklin
building last night, but adjourned for week,
us no letter had yet been received from the
Commissioners formulating rules to govern the
schools. Trustee Smith sat down at once and
wrote, rather renewed, peremptoriIy, the
resignation which he sent to the Commits
sioners November, and which was not &C
cepted. Mr.. Smith said to a STA reporter that
he was tired of SO much nonsense: that there
ought TO be a school board or no school board.
He was unwilling to take responsibility for af-
fairs when matters were in such confusion, and
when he did not know whether what he did to-
day would be undone tomorrow or not. He
thought If the Commissioners were dissatisfied
with the personnel of tine board they should
have made changes, but should not have at
tempted to change the system, which was not
at fault. Mr.. Smith considered his resignation
as final, and, before leaving the building, noti-
fled his colleagues that he would not
meet with them again. Trustee Girls
void also yesterday handed his resig-
nation to the Commissioners. Messrs. Love
joy, Griswold and Smith, who have resigned,
are the three trustees whose terms expired
last July, but who have remained in the board
under the rule that trustees hold Office until
their successors are appointed.
