A remarkable experiment in signaling
with electric lights was recently made
by the officers of two vessels of the Brit
ish navy, the Orion and the Espoir, off
the port of Singapore. The Espoir had
sailed from that port for Hong Kong,
leaving the Orion in the harbor of Singa-
pore. When the Espoir was sixty miles
distant the Orion sent her n message by
means of the electric light.
But can a light be seen sixty miles at
sea? Certainly not, in its direct rays;
but the Orion threw a brilliant blaze of
light upon the clouds, and the reflection
of this light was distinctly seen on board
the Espoir. More than this, the Orion,
having thrown upon the clouds a regular
message by means of successive flashes,
this message was read and understood on
.board the Espoir. The question has been
asked whether this means of commune
cation might not be made of practical
advantage.-Youth's Companion.

The prettiest wedding procession I have
seen was in Constantinople-a stately and
rejoicing march, though without music.
Fancy a narrow street of high stone
houses with projecting balconies, latticed
with stats SO close together that persons
within can see without being seen. A
long line Of sedan chairs, cushioned and
curtained with satin, each borne by two
men holding poles, and keeping step to-
gether like trained horses; their uniform
braided jackets, baggy trousers and scar
let fez made festal by a bunch of lilacs
on the bosom-for it was rejoicing
spring, and the gardens of the B~osphorus
were radiant with color and bloom.
AT the head of the column an armed
attendant, in gorgeous costume, with
whip in hand, cleared away dogs and
gaping idlers. They were en- route for
the Greek church outside Pera, and the
beauty Of the beautiful race was on the
bride. The shining face at the window
was like some lovely human flower, too
tender for exposure, blossoming under
glass. On the classic head a wreath of
orange flowers, TO be laid away on the
morrow and carefully kept for her burial.
AS they near the church door a bridal
chorus rules the slow steps of the car
riers; and when the bride, lovely all in
her white, steps from the silken seat
bonbons are showered on her by waiting
friends. Thu bridegroom, also crowned
with a wreath, joins her, and they stand
with clasped hands at the altar while the
long ritual is read by the priest. Three
times h wreaths are interchanged by
the priest in the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost. Three times the pair
is led by him round the altar; a glass of
c~onsecrated wine is offered first to the
bridegroom, then to the bride, afterward
to the best man and first bridemaid,
whose duty it is to be godfather and god
mother to the children. The ceremony
ends with kisses, congratulations and
leave takings, much the same as in our
own country.-Susan Wallace in Sunday
School Times.

The Dial of the Face.

h s in a nOSeG
Shakespeare might better have pro-
pounded hat question than the one he
did, for a nose is of infinitely greater i'm
p~ortance than a name. Truly a rose by
any other name would smell as sweet,
but would a beauty with any other nose
look as sweetl
No much.
Add but a trifle to the end of your
nose and see what a change it makes.
Shave off but the thinnest slice from
either edge, and behold the altered APP
pearance. Flatten it with the slightest
pressure and watch the result. Twist it
to right or left the shadow of a millionth
part of a degree and your handsome
mans beauty is forever destroyed. 1t
has been called, and rightly, too, the
rudder or the dial OF the face. An au-
thority on p~hysiognomy says: eff the
beauty of the nose depends on its shape,
its power is regulated by its length,
which ought never to be less than one
third of the profile, measured from the
roots of the hair to the tips of the chin.
Should it exceed that proportion SO much
the better, for we are assured that when
ever two persons, the one having a large
nose and the other a small one, come
into collision, the latter must yield, I'M
less it is of the feminine gender and takes
an upward + Chicago Times.

The shah. Finest Charger.

The Persians of today, as those of old,
are a 'horsey" race, born riders, fond of
their horses, looking never complete till
seen in the saddle, with all the luxurious
trappings and ornaments they love to be-
stow upon their persons and their quad
rupeds. The beauty and superior breed
of a horse, together with the c~ostliness of
his apparel, are an unfailing indication
of the owners wealth and station. And
such harness, such saddles, girths and
blanketsl 1t is the Arabian Nights redi-
vivus.
On race day last spring, after the CON
tests were over, the shah caused his finest
charger, n Turcoman of magnificent pro-
portions, to be brought in front of the
huge pavilion tent wherein the whole
European and American diplomatic corps
assembled. What a fine fellow the
animal was, and how he was admired
and caressed by the ladiesl But what
especially noticeable about him was
the splendor Of his accoutrements. A
saddle blanket Of the finest cashmere,
every square inch of which was worth
several gold pieces; his broad bride
thickly incrusted with diamonds and
emeralds and rubies, each the size of a
hazelnut; the bit of pure gold, and the
straps and other pieces made of
velvet and embossed with artistic Jumps
Of gold and precious stones. The whole
outfit was worth a large fortune; and
this was but one Of many.-Wolf Won
S~chierbrand in The Cosmopolitan.

eUcKlNa OF THE BRONCO.


ult OF inc INtftt4iilpns q I inc COWBOY
y Tanning IA Vicious Brute.
While the head men are gathered in a
little knot, planning out the work, the
others are dispersed over the plain in
every direction, racing, breaking rough
horses, or simply larking with one an
other. If a man has an especially bad
horse, he usually takes such an opportu-
nifty. when he has plenty of time, to ride
him; and while saddling he is surrounded
by a crowd Of most unsympathetic asso-
ciuto1, who greet with ]uproarious mirth
any miSadventurc. A man on n buCking
horse is always considered fair game,
every squeal and jump of the bronco
being hailed with cheers of delighted
irony for the rider and shouts to stay
with him.
The antics Of n vicious bronco show in
finite variety of detail, but all are mod
eled on one general plan. When the
rope settles round his neck the fight be-
gins, and it is only after much ~plunging
and snOrting that a twist is taken over his
nose, or else n hackamore-a species OF
severe halter, usually made of plated
hair, slipped on his head. While being
bridled he strikes viciously with his fore
feet, and perhaps has to be blindfolded
or thrown down; and to get the saddle
on him is quite as difficult. When sad
died, he may get rid of his ~exuberant
spirits by bucking under the saddle, or
may reserve all his energies for the rider.
In the last case. the man, keeping tight
hold with his left hand of the check
strap, so as to prevent the horse from
getting his head down until he is fairly
seated, swings himself quickly into the
saddle. Up rises the bronco's back into
an arch; his head, the ears laid straight
back, goes down between his fore feet,
and. squealing savagely, he makes a sue
cession of rapid, stiff legged, Earring
bounds.
Sometimes he is a ''plunging' bucker,
who runs forward all the time while
bucking; or he may puck steadily in one
place, or "sunfish''-that is, bring first
one shoulder down almost Il the ground
and then the other, or else he may
change ends while in the air. A first
class rider will sit throughout it all with
out moving from the saddle, quirting his
horse all the time, though his hat may
he Jared off his head and his revolver
out of its sheath. After a few Jumps.
however, the average man grasps hold of
the horn Of the saddle-the delighted on
lockers meanwhile earnestly advising
him not to ''go to leather"-and is CON
tented to get through the affair in any
shape provided he can escape without be-
ing thrown of. An accident is of neces-
sity borne with a broad grin, as any at
tempt to resent the railery of the by
ISLANDERS - which is perfectly good
humorcd-would be apt to result dis
astrously. Theodore Roosevelt in The
Century.

There are several thousand mule and

not find in Cuba q dray or four wheeled

great affair. The wheels ara frequently
ten feet in diameter, the felloes six
inches broad and as thick, the spokes as
big as your leg and the hub like a half
bushel basket. Many are covered like

pouches bangle from beneath, and the
shafts are together larger than the little
mules entire body. A tremendous load
Is piled upon this cart, and, benignly

retonero or cartman, with shirt rolled to

nationality. Those wearing red ones are

On the way to the apartments of state
my distinguished escort, Prince Bariat-
stopped, and, running his finger
across a mahogany panel, said; "You
see there is no dust here; it makes no
difference whether the emperor is absent
or at home, 1t is always the same"
Every room, of which there are several
hundred, is kept in rigorous cleanliness.
In the art gallery the individuality of the
Gar Nicholas was the most striking feat
ure; a superb life size portrait here, n
marble bust there, a bronze statue yon-
der, gave a good idea of the handsomest
man Of his day. A veritable Apollo of
physical perfection, with q caIlous face,
expressive of autocratic pride and af-
fected humility, the face of a typical
Romanoff, who could, if necessary, like
Peter the Great, drink bumpers of wine
with one hand and ~decapitate with the
other. 1t was the likeness of a type 1
had never seen in life, and only from the
hands of antique sculptors had 1 wit
messed it in the form of chiseled marble.

Under the somewhat fanciful title.
''The Antechamber of Consciousness. -
Mr.. Francis Speir, Jr., contributes to The
Popular Science Monthly the result of
some carefully planned Investigations in
psychology for the purpose of weighing
anew the argument for unconscious GER
ebration. He distributed printed ques-
tons, to be answered from personal ex-
perience. The question in which the in
quiry conferred was: docs there exist in
man the power to exert intellectual ac-
tivity during unconsciousness?'
The answers are grouped and summar-
lied under four heads: (a) When the eff
fort is simple, by reproducing past ex-
periences in obedience to a mandate of
the will, as in the familiar experience of
recalling a lost name or fact while con-
sciously devoting the attention to m
thing entirely different; (b) by compar-
ing related facts and arriving at a settled
judgment, as in the case of awaking
from a sound sleep at a predetermined
hour; (c) when the effort is more COM
pick, by continuing old trains of thought
began in consciousness, and proceeding
logically, step by step, to a relative set
tied conclusion, as in dreaming out the
solutions of problems in chess, mathe-
mates, ETC., or i'll reaching the solutions
while working at something totally diff
ferent; (d) when the effort is most COM
pick by commencing and continuing new
trains Of thought without having volun,
tarily undertaken or continued them,
and arriving at results of original crea,
lions, as inventions, literary and musica,
creations, etc. OF the first Of per cent
of those answering had had such expert
ences; Of the second 40 per cen claim
this power in n strongly marked degree
about So per cent. claim the possession Of
the power defined in ''(c)," and about sc
per cent. claim the unconscious creative
| power.-Chicago News.

The strong presumption is hat much
Of the affection is caused by what are
called modern improvements in heating
houses. Nothing has taken adequately
the place Of the chimney as a ventilator.
Open tlues nave grown fewer and fewer,
and the oven principle has been substi-
tuted in the halls as well as the rooms of
the average ill ventilated household. To
walk outdoors is to suddenly transfer
the individual TO another climate. The
over or ill regulated heating has been &C
companied by an increase of closet and
other drains that the utmost care APP
parcntly cannot prevent from affecting
the interior atmosphere. Our people
have beer made physically more tender
in various ways. They ride in warm
cars more and walk less than formerly.
The elevator has robbed them of salutary
exercise they used to take. Modern com
forts, so called, and ~conveniences are
probably being bought too dear. They
should either be made better or used less.
