The Awful Fate or a Pretty Woman Whs Deceived Her Husband and Went Boat i'm With Auother Man

The Awful Fate Of a Pretty Woman Who
 Deceived Her Husband and Went Boat
 ing With Another Man. 3
 NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y., July 20t-Mrs. F. J. Fully, young and handsome mar ried woman, lost her life last evening by going over the American falls. Mrs. Fully was twenty-two years old, and came here with her husband from Macon, Ga, few months ago. Unknown to her husband, she accepted an invitation to go out sail ing with William H. Barbour, whose mother keeps the Grand Trunk ticket office in the International Hotel. "1f a.
 They started early, and had gone quite a distance up the river when, in making a tack, Barbour let go the sail and the boat turned over. Barbour is weak physi- cally and Mrs Fully was badly frightened. They drifted down the river toward the cataract slowly getting nearer the upper rapids when their predicament was dis covered by the crew of Sherman Jewett's yacht Titania, and small boat was sent to the disabled sail boat. ag
 Barbour was rescued, but Mrs. Tul ly le, go from the capsized yacht, to which she had been clinging, and slipped down into the water. Her hat was seen several hundred feet down the rapids, and at 6;l5 g. m. her body, almost lifeless, passed under the Goat Island bridge, going over the American falls a few seconds later. Her husband left the bridge a few min- utes before this, having been there with his partner watching for her. t.

High Meteorological Stations.

Of the present very limited number of high stations for making meteoro- logical observations, there are only two in Europe which exceed 5000 meters in height, being about 10000 and II 900 feet, respectively. Among those in this country Pike's Peak, which has an altitude of 14, 100 feet, exceeding thus, by more than 5000 feet, any in Europe. These great heights are much more accessible on this continent than in Europe, there being five in America where 11,000 feet or more is reached by railroads built for facilitating mining work; the highest of these in North America is Mount Lincoln, in Colorado, the min ing works on which are 14, 297 feet above the sea, and here is a meteor ological station conducted by Harvard College. Another station is placed part way up the mountain, at a height of 13,500 feet In the Andes range, in
 Peru, continuous meteorological ob- servations are also carried on, the loftiest point for this purpose being Ii, 36o feet above the sea.-N. Y. Sun.

GOURDS AND POTTERY.
The Probable Origin of Most Importan
 Art Industry.

The Probable Origin of n Most Important
 Art Industry.
 Every man, no doubt, used his gourd as a gourd alone. But as time went on he began at last. apparently, to em- ploy it as a model for pottery also. In all probability his earliest lessons ia the fictile art were purely accidental. It is common trick with savages to put water to warm on the campfire in calabash or gourd with wet clay smeared oyer the bottom to keep it from burning. Wherever the clay thus employed was fine enough to it would cling to the gourd, and be used time and again in the same way without renewal, till at last it came to be regarded almost as a component part of the compound vessel. Traces of this stage in the evolution of pot tery still exist in various outlying corners of the world. Savages have been noted who smear their dishes with clay; and bowls may be found in various museums which still contain more or less intact the relics of the natural object on which they were modelled. In one case the thing inn bedded in the clay bowl is a human skull, presumably an enemy's.
 In most cases, however, the inner gourd or calabash, in proportion as it was well coated up to the very top with a good protective layer of clay, would tend to get burned out by the heat of the fire in the course of time. until at last the idea would arise that the natural form was nothing more than a mere mold or model, and that the earthenware dish which grew up around it was the substantive vessel. As soon as this stage of pot-making was arrived at, the process of firing would become deliberate, instead of accidental, and the vessel would only be considered complete as soon as it had been subjected to great heat which would effectually burn out the gourd or calabash imbedded in the center.-G Grant Allen, in Popular Science Monthly.

BURDEN OF ANCESTRY.
How Prccedents Sit Upon the Head os the
 V Present Age.

tlOW IFsCeNenAh Sit pph tste sAN"N"s @ss~
 Present Age.
 Sometimes think if would have been better for all hands if we had never had any ancestors nor any precedents prior to the year 17S9. Of what con- sequence were the old Dutch ancestors of New York compared to DeWitt Clin- ton. who laid out the Erie canal and paratively poor commonwealth? Of what consequence were the so-ealled Pilgrim Fathers of New York com pared to the men who started the Cro- ton aqueduct, without which this island could never have grown to the population it has? How much more we owe to the first founders of our great public cemeteries than to the 1 founders of the little churchyards. which would otherwise have been, as 1 in London, over-packed at the present day with superabundant dead? Some times I think we will owe quite as much to that generation or leader who will wipe the cemeteries out, and turn their monuments and headstones into some useful architecture for the living. To put the old mold of a discharged man under a $5o,000 monument, is as near idolatry as the Greeks and Romans ever got, and 1 have never heard of but two cases where useful man slipped into rich mans tomb by way of charity, the first being in the case of Joseph of Arimathea, and the next | that of Robert Fulton, who was slided into the Livingston tomb, but he was q connection of that emigrant family.
 If you notice our youngest American States. they get along much smoother than our oldest States. See how Kan sas is growing, without any forefathers, and see how South Carolina is groan- ing under its old planter oligarchy? See how readily Minnesota reaches out her antenna to the Sault Ste. Marie, to Duluth, to Manitoba, to Dakota and to everywhere, having, 1t is said, five railroads to Chicago, whereas the building of the Boston x Albany railroad and the consolidating of the Pennsylvania and New York Central lines were done as if nothing of that kind had ever been done before or could be done again. Why is it that Boston and New York are connect ed by single corporation, while Buff falo and New York are connected by half dozen corporationsp Precedents sit upon the head of the living age. The gravestone is not put upon the dead only, but upon the living. - .sGath,n tss Boston Globe.

LIKE many previous appointments by
President Cleveland, his nomination OF
Melville W. Fuller, of Chicago, To be
Chief Justice, takes the country by sur
prise, but it is conceded on all sides that
il is a happy solution OF very difficult
question and that the appointee is in
every way worthy of this highest of hon
ors. Mr.. Fuller was born in Mains -
years ago and is in the prime Of mental
and physical vigor. He has never
sought office, but has devoted his time
and talents to the law in which he has
attained eminence and prominence. y
democrat of the old school and believ-
or in advanced doctrine of state rights,
he is by no means a partisan, but such "a
man as the highest judge in the land
should be. He is held in the highest re-
gard by the president who had offered
him the solicitor generalship, and posi-
tons on the Civil Service, Interstate and
Pacific railroad commissions. In person
al appearance Mr. Fuller is described as
unusually handsome; his hair and MUS
taches are slvery, and his features clear
cut and intelligent In statue he is
short and slight compared with his fu-
ture associates on the supreme bench.
He is a man of high scholastic rs well a.
legal attanments, and as an orator his
talents have won him the title of the
Chauncey VI. Depew of the West. He
is member OF the Protestant Episcopal
