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 Il, 1,000 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 IA, ,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 height of 13, 3,500 feet. In the Andes range, in Peru, continuous meteorological ob- servations are also carried on, the loftiest point for this purpose being l4,36O feet above the sea,-N, r. Sun,

 Of course such a system is a deadly enemy to all progress and to all healthy national life. It strikes at the root of national prosperity, the security of the individual. But 1 be- lieve that it is exceptional to find a magistrate who taxes the people ex- tremely. Of course there is always more or less injustice, but the patience of the people is something marvellous, and when the exactions become too frequent and too severe the people rise and mutiny, and usually with success, for it brings about the removal of the objectionable ruler. A brighter day is in store for Corea when her mineral resources are opened up and her finan- cial basis is strengthened Then there will be a system of regularly salaried officials. No one can examine into the position of Corea to-day without seeing that her horizon is clearing, and it is to the United States that Corea looks to-day as her best friend.-,SeOUL (C07 red) Cor. ~ !.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
MERITED HONORS.

Of course you are proud that your fathers were
 good;
 Iris pleasure to know they were great In the field, on the bench, or in science of art Or as leaders in matters of state. But we all should remember our ancestors
 fame
 Is not for their children to wear; To the fame of the great man the family name Is the only legitimate heir. The fame that is yours is the fame you have
 won;
 If you've not won ityet, look ahead But don't claim an honor because you're the
 son
 Of ancestors centuries dead. Of proud ones who lived on the fame of their
 sires
 Examples in plenty are found Like the turnp and pa-snip, they seem not to
 know
 That the best of them lies underground. Look ahead to the future-the past is not yours For your prize trust the future alone. The fame of the past is another's reward; Make the yield of the present your own. Inherited titles of honor are vain. In the heat of Fame's handicap chase The plain man looks forward, the noble looks
 back,
 And oftentimes loses the race. Look forward, toll onward; and when in the
 end
 Wellmerited honors you've won, Be proud that your claim to the prize did not
 lie
 In beng q Somebody's son. -R. ". McALpiEe, iB HdFpers Young People.

GOU4OS AND POTTERY.
The Probable Origin of Most Important
 Art Industry.

ArC lnuusGrys
 Every man, no doubt, used his gourd as 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 in the fictile art were purely accidental. It is common trick with savages to put water to warm on the campfire in a calabash or gOurd with wet clay smeared over the bottom to keep it from burning. Wherever the clay thus employed was fine enough to form a mold and bake hard in shape, 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 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 i'm bedded in the clay bowl is 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 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 a great heat which would effectually burn out the gourd or calabash imbedded in the center.-Grant Allen, in Popular Science M0nttIu.

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY.
How the Raw CaoutchOuc Is Made Into
 Neat and Useful Shoes.

Neat and Useful Shoes.
 Supplementary to the great shoe making business here is the rubber in- dustry, for which Boston is the great center in thls country Forty million dollars worth of rubber shoes and boots is sold in the modern Athens an- nually. The chief manufacturing Woonsocket, R. l., Melville and Tram ingham, Mass. All the rubber goods made in these places are brought hith- CT to market. The raw material comes from Para, Brazil, in huge Jumps, which the natives make by dipping sticks in the sap of the caoutchouc tree and turning them around with fre- quent plunges into the heated rubber, over hot fire. These Jumps, upon reaching the factory, are cut in slices, which are run through heavy rollers and pressed out thin and fat, like pancakes. The sheets thus Ob- tained are next put through other roll CTS, heated to high temperature, and incidentally amalgamated with con- position of lampblack, sulphur, and litharge, which reduces them to a soft and putty-like consistency. Finally, in this soft condition, they are passed over steel rollers bigger than any that have gone before, and actually incor- porated with the tissue of a woolen cloth which is destined to serve as the lining of the eventual boot or shoe. If you will try to pull apart the lining and outer coat of a rubber sandal, you will obtain a notion of the thorough ness with which this part of the manu- facture is performed. The rubber sheets, thus prepared, are passed through last set of rollers, on which are engraved all the markings and corrugations of sole and upper that appear in the com pleted article. The rubber sheets are now ready for the cutter, who turns out the various pieces by hand, with the aid of knife and patterns. The parts are then put together by other workmen with rubber tape. When this much has been accomplished, the shoe or boot is lasted in the usual way, and, after being vanished, is allowed to remain for eight hours in room heated to the temperature of 235 de- grees. The heat sets the varnish and tempers the rubber, which is then termed "vulcanized." The stamping of the firm name on the sole is the con- cluding operation, and then the rubber shoe is ready for sale. A good rubber boot has twenty-six pieces, the putting together of which, when the caoutchouo is warm and readily made adhesive with tape along the joining edges, re. quires no small kill,-~Roston Cor.

LOSING A FORTUNE.
The Story of Poor Man Who Might Havs
 Been Worth Millions.

''There is tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune" A white-haired man quoted that and told this story: 'You don't remember the Emma mine. She was at one time the crack property in the market. I don't remember whether the mine ever was really worth any thing or not, but there was time in its history when the stock brought twice its par value. A speculator by the name of Lyons was in it, and he, in company with number of prominent men, hlllled the stock to the highest possible notch. One of Lyons acquaintances came to me one day and asked me to lend him $200. I had little shoe business then, and was making 8 fair living, but I didn't have many $200 bundles to distribute among my friends. He of fered as security 10000 shares of Emma the par value of which, I be- lieve, was $10G per share. It wasn't selling for any thing then, but this friend said it was bound to go to par, if not above. I told him I had no use for mining stocks. I couldn't pay for shoes with certificates, no matter how pretty they were. He said he must have money, and asked me if couldn't let him have $50 I told him I would accommodate him so far, and gave him the money, but took no security. The next day heard the stock was in de- mand for small price; the next day my neighbors were buying it, and in a week every body had some of it. l tried to see my friend, and sent him word that I'd let him have the $200 for the stock, but could not reach him for nearly two weeks. Then he came into my store to pay me the $50. l wanted some of his stock, but he said he had sold all he intended to sell below par, and I might have all 1 wanted at $100. I refused to buy at that figure, but inside a month other people were paying that. One day an- other friend offered me a lot at $125. 1 had got the fever by that time, and l mortgaged about every thing l had to take his offer. If you know any thing about mining stock you kHow what happened to me. The Emma took a sudden turn and went out of sight so fast didn't save $1 of my investment. I never recovered myself after that, and only month ago 1 was so hard pressed for money had to borrow $50 of the friend I had refused to lend $200 to on the 10000 Emma. It looks now as if I never will be able to pay him back.-Chic' 70 Neaos.
