The glory of Moscow is the Kremlin,
which is really the citadel, and within its
stout walls are scores of churches and
palaces. Here are the Cathedral of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the
Cathedral of the ArchanGel Michael, and
dozens of other churches, the arsenal sur

French during the disastrous retreat of
1912. The magniicence of the churches
and palaces in the kremlin surpasses be-

Alexander will see the tombs of all the
czars down to the time of Peter the Great,
who chose to be buried in st. Petersburg,
an example which has been followed by
all his successors. There are some dozens
of tombs of emperors and empresses, for
each car chose TO have a shrine to him
self, and over the remains of each was
erected a temple or cenotaph. of consider
able size, cleaning with gems of gold.

A member of one of the best known
piano manufacturing firms in this city told
me recently that the business is being
seriously affected by the rapid increase in
the number of makers of cheap instru-
ments. The newspapers are full of the
advertisements of these deceptive indivi-
duals who for 500 or ever less will sell
you a piano. Although the price of one
of these frauds as compared with that of
a first class instrument is ridiculously
small, my friend assured me that the profit
derived from its sale is quite large and it
can easily pay its share of its makers ad-
vertising bills and leave a tidy sum over.
The greenest of woods, the cheapest of
strings, the most economical substitute
for ivory in the keys and the shiniest of
third rate varnish enter into it's com
position, while the workmen who hastily
put it together work by the piece and are
past grand masters in the art of scamping.
A reliable instrument made of the best
materials and in the plainest of cases can
not be sold at a living profit for less than
four or five times the cost of these i'm
positions which now flood the market

The Real Estate Record says that fire
ruins show that porous terra-cotta bricks
and blocks best resist fire, water and frost.
Next to these in the order of fire resisting
qualities come concretes and burned clay
work. In the best work lone the iron work
is incased in porous terra-cotta tile or brick
work in roof, floor and tile construction.
The hollow tiles are faced with vitreous tile,
slate or any good weatherproof coating,
or with a single thickness of brick. Iron
and steel framework incased in fireproof
materials gives the best possible results.
There is a growing preference for light
porous walls OF hollow material protecting
an iron or wooden framework. Massive
and heavy walls OF brick or stone will do
for architecture, but they are not as much
of n mechanical necessity as they were re-
garded a few years ago.-Philadelphia
Record.

AT a recent meeting of h National
Academy of Sciences in New York, Profess
SCR A. E. Verrill, of Yale college, described
the physical and geological character of
the sea bottom off our coast, especially
that which lies beneath the Gulf Stream:
1.-The depths of the ocean TEEN with life.
Sharks are seen by thousands, and count
less dolphins; but it seems strange that
not a fishbone is ever dredged up. A
piece of wood may be dredged up once a
year, but it is honeycombed by the boring
shell fish and falls to pieces at the touch
of the hand. This shows what destruc-
ton is constantly going on in these depths.
If a ship sinks at sea with all ON board, it
would be eaten by fish with the exception
of the metal, and that would corrode md
disappear. Not a bon of a human body
would remain after a few days. It is a
constant display of the law of the sur
vival of the fttest. Nothing made by the
hand of man was dredged up after cruis-
ing for months in the track of ocean yes
sells, excepting coal clinkers showed over
board from steamships.
LAS to the quantity of light at the bot
tom of the sea there has been much dis
pute. Animals dredged from below seven
undred fathoms either nave no eyes, or
faint indications of them, or else their
eyes are very large and protruding. An
o'hSA oIAahBo IhliB 49, ludG IL Jue CFed-
lures in those lower depths have any
color, 1t is of orange or red, or reddish
orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimp
and crabs AVE this brilliant color. Some
times it is pure red or scarlet, and in many
specimens inclines toward purple. Not
a green or blue fish is found. The orange
red is the fsh's protection, for the
blush green light in the bottom of the
ocean makes the orange or red fish appear
of a neutral tint, ard hides it from its
enemies. Many animals are black, others
neutral in color. Some fish are provided
with boring tails, so that they can burrow
in the mud. Finally, the surface of the
submarine mountain is covered with
shells, like a sea beach, showing that it is
the eating house of vast schools of carniv-
orous animals. A Goldfish takes a whole
oyster into its mouth, cracks the shells,
digests the meat, and splits out the rest.
Crabs crack the shells and suck out the
meat. In that way come whole mounds
of shells that are dredged up,"-Golden
Argosy.

The Man Who Laughs.

There is n man whose presence in a
theatre during a comedy is worth money
to the management. He is the greatest
Laughter ever saw. Like all good laugh.
ers he is fat, and it fills a man with merry
moments TO be around when he is laugh
ing. He has a hearty rolling laugh that
catches an audience quickly, and soon the
audience and he are engaged in a laugh
ing match. When the laughing has been
going on for four or FIVE minutes, and
everybody's sides are sore and all hands
take q rest, there is a lull through the
house which is Immediately broken by a
low passionate sob and a gently modulated
"O-ahl' from the Laughter who is putting
the finishing touches on his c%achinatory
effort. Immediately the audience forget
the soreness of their sides and burst into
a roar. Friends of his bring the Laughter
to the theatre just to have fun with him.
He comes with q different crowd every
time. Inc his friends get their enjoyment
out of him and not out of the perform
ance, He's the ~jolliest Laughter l ever
heard.-''G. NJ" in Globe Democrat.

A wave of kleptomania is passing over
New York city. Every day the advertise
ments cry aloud for the lady and gentle
man who took a gold headed umbrella"
from one of the theatres, or for 1.-The lady
who borrowed a canary, blind in one eye"
from a bird shop. The dry goods stores
are the scene of most of these pilferings.
Few of them become public, said the
manager of a leading house, land we suf5
fer few losses in the end.
How do you avoid them?'
ITO begin with, almost every real KEEP
tomaniac in the city is known to us.
Many of hem move in the best society.
We instruct our girls to keep a strict
watch on them, and if they take anything
from the counters, we send a bill for it to
their friends"
why should not their friends return
the articles2"
Sometimes they do. AS a rule, how
ever, they pay and say nothing about it. "
ID you meet with any serious ~casesP"
Il know a lady who in church is liable
to purloin even the ornaments of the al
tar, and another who, at table, if she can
find nothing more attractive, has been
seen to fill her pockets with bread
crumbs"
What do kleptomaniacs usually stealY'
Anything nat glitters. A shining
object is always the first to draw their at
tention. Photographs, too, have much
the same influence. We nave sometimes
missed an entire stock of some actor or
actress, for whom there was no particu-
lar demand, and ave found it long after
wards in the possession of a kleptoma,
MAC"
lis kleptomania more common at one
season than anotherf"
I'VE generally look for it in the fall.
1t is like any other form of lunacy."
Yes" said a physician, cit is a kind of
lunacy, and a much abused kind of lunacy
too. Epileptics are subject to it. Per
sons with abnormally shaped hands are
subject to it. Some maniacs who are be-
yond reproach in their lucid moments
have the impulse to secrete their food or
to steal small objects in the asylum. l
have read of a man who would not eat
unless his food was stolen; of a doctor
who could not help stealing from his
patients; of a clergyman who delighted in
purloining bits of candle, and of a man
who, at the point of death, stole the snuff
box of his confessor."
Can there be an epidemic of kleptoma.
MAI"
Certainly. If you go to an asylum
you will find that one year is noted for
religious madness, another for criminal
madness. Lunacy has cycles of it's own"
