One-third of ST. Petersburg is built
upon the islands which lie in the bed
OF the Neva, and which are united
with the mainland by several bridges,
opened for an hour or two in the early
morning for the passage Of ships.
Ocean going steamers can therefore
steam through the heart Of st. Peters

Ten Years ON an Engraving.

Rudolph Stang, Of Dusseldorf, has
lately completed, after more than ten
years work, a copper plate engraving
of Leonardo da Vinci's great fresco.
II is believed that this is the first time
the famous picture has been directly
studied by the engraver. Raphael
Morghen's splendid engraving was
made from a drawing of a copy of the
original painting, and all other plates
issued since its publication in 1900
have been more or less limitations
of il.
The history Of Morghen's work is
instructive. The monks nj Castelazzo

Leonardo, 10 paint them a copy for

distinguished artist he could hardly be
expected 10 abstain from introducing
some variations of his own. A draw
ing of Oggiono's copy, which was in
far better preservation than the origi-
nal, was made for Morghen by Mat

Photographs Of Cannon Balls.

The well known photographer, An
schuetz, Of LISA, has for some years
been experimenting with photographs
of the fight of cannon balls from the
moment of their projection to their
striking the target or object aimed at.
Last month, on the trying grounds Of
the Gruson works, near Buckau. he
has demonstrated the perfection Of his
studies. He succeeded in obtaining
remarkable and highly interesting re-
suits. His plates were submitted TO
the expert, Professor DIR. Koenig, Of
the Berlin university, who was per
fectly able to make therefrom the de-
sired practical calculations. He estab-
lished the fact hal the ~projectile thus
photographed had a velocity Of 400
meters a second, and that the duration
of the light thrown on the photo
graphic plate did not exceed the ten
thousandth part of a second Paris

The yalues of Diamonds.

Values of diamonds never change.
Like pure gold they have a fixed
value. Their prices change with the
dealer and his opportunity for their
sale. Then again the price of dia-
monds is largely affected by their
quality and color. A stone that shows
sand cracks is rated low. A diamond,
however perfect, if of ayellowish hue,
is not highly priced. There are stones
of a reddish tint which are very beau
tiful, but the pure white diamond out
ranks them all. The test of the white
diamond is hat it shall be perfectly
invisible when immersed in a vial Of
chemically pure water, such as is col
'lected from condensed steam. A dia-
mond is perfectly indestructible and is
seldom, If ever, lost to the world. II
the owner should lose a stone another
person finds it, and the quantity Of
gems goes on steadily increasing

and if one is made it is hcralded
throughout the country. But people
are exceedingly nervous, nevertheless,

three or four times to us TO know if we
are sure it is all right" We have
repeatedly to assure them, but often
they refuse to take the doses. They

Inter den Linden stras.e,

Inter den Linden Strasse in Berlin
is talked of all over the world, but it
is by no means the h~andsomest or most
attractive street in the world. In the
first place, il is far too wide. For that
reason, and because rows of trees are
planted in the middle Of the street, the
view in certain parts is confined to one
side. Nor are the buildings uniform
in size and style. They include
palaces, small shops, large and small
private dwellings and third rate hotels,
as well as hotels of the first class. Be-
tween the sidewalks there are a couple
of driveways for vehicles, an eques-
trian road and a footpath-many feat
n but none distinctive.
Then the street is not kept clean nor
in good condition. Fallen leaves are
allowed TO lie and rot in the middle of
the street Inter den Linden might
be made attractive for a park thor

Subtle Influences at Work.

Scientists maintain, and generally
succeed in proving, that the germs of
an epidemic exist in the air which
passes into human lungs. Will sci
ence ever be able TO discover the To-
cality and the nature of the germs
that make possible such epidemics as
crimes, railroad wrecks, fires and the
like. II is beyond peradventure that
the death dealing railroad wreek as
sumes an epidemic form, and that the
advent of one such is almost certain
to be followed by another even though
the breadth of an ocean lies between
the spots where derailment spreads
death. So, too, is it with great fires
that for fuel have human bodies, and
with subterranean explosions that con-
vert coal mines into hecatombs. They
appear in epidemic form oftener than
as isolated cases. There wouldseem to
