A Strange French Mirror

The old city of Rouen, in France, has
a pretty sight that is worth describing
to your crowd of young folk. The lit
tie men and maids are fond of looking
glasses, I know; but doubt if they all
have heard of the queer one of which I
shall now tell them. Near the west
door of the church of St. Ouen, in this
city of Rouen, is a marble basin filled
with water. 1t is so placed that the
water acts as mirror, and in the face
of it one sees all the inside of the
church. Look down into the water,
and you see pillars, and the ceiling,
and pictures and statuary, and nearly
all the interior ornamentation of the
building. The stately basin seems to
take pride in holding its beautiful pict-
ure of the church. wish you and all
your hearers could see it.-St. Nicholas.

VIvIPAROUS FISHES.

Interesting Facts About Their Original
Discovery on the Pacific Coast.
An item that has been going the
rounds of the Eastern press heralds as
a startling scientific discovery the find
ing of fish in Florida water that produce
their young after the manner of mann
mails. As matter of fact viviparous
fishes were discovered on the Pacific
coast nearly thirty-fve years ago, and
were then classified by the elder Agas-
siz. The way in which this departure
from inny habits of reproduction first
became known to science was described
as follows by DIR. Hewston, the expert
ichthyologist of the Academy of Sci
ences:
Somewhere in the early part of the
ffties John Carey, prominent San
franciscan and brother-in-law of Agas-
siz, observed the curious fact that
variety of silver perch peddled by
bay fishermen produced their young
alive. Thinking that it might interest
his brother-in-law, he wrote to him de.
scribing the fish and its habits in un-
scientific terms. The prince of Amer
lean scientists pooh-poohed the idea,
said that it was supremely ridiculous
and utterly impossible according to all
known laws of icthyology. Carey,
however, knew whereof he spoke, and
having obtained a pregnant perch sent
it to Agassiz, who had perforce to be-
lieve his own eyes. Pursuing this dis
covery Agassiz classified the fish and as
signed it to new genus, enbiotoca,
from the Greek words "en," within,
and "bios, life.
In 1853 DIR. Herman, then attached
to what was called the New Pacific
Coast Railroad Survey" discovered the
same thing and classified the fish as
snnicthys, but the honor of the original
discovery belongs to Mr.. Carey, and
that of the first classification to Agassiz.
Some five or six varieties OF the viyi-
parous perch are found all along this
coast, but especially in Puget sound
and San Francisco and San Diego bays.
There is also fresh water variety in
the San Joaquin and Sacramento riv-
ers.-San Francisco AltG.

Railways and Civilization.

Railways have SO cheapened the cost
of transportation that, while a load of
wheat loses all its value by being
hauled one hundred miles on a COM
mon road, meat and -four enough to
supply one man year can, according
to Mr.. Edward Atkinson, be hauled
1900 miles from the West to the East
for one days wages of that man, if he
be skilled mechanic. If freight
charges are diminished in the future
as in the past, this can soon be done
for one days wages of common
laborer. The number of persons en-
ployed in constructing, equipping and
operating our railways is about two
millions. The combined armies and
navies of the world, while on peace
footing, will draw from gainful occu-
pations 8, 455, 900 men. Those create
wealth-these destroy it. Is it any
wonder that America is the richest
country in the world.--I Thomas Curtis
Clarke, in iScribner's.

ABOUT HIGH JUMPING.
The Secret of Champion e. Byrd Pages
Wonderful Success.

wonderful success.
High-jumping, like every thing else
in the way of athletics, is, to a certain
extent, a science, and must be practiced
regularly, while at the same time the
mind is at work to bring the body into
such a position as to attain the best re-
suits. E. Byrd Page, the young Ameri-
can who became the worlds champion
high-jumper when he cleared six feet
four inches at Philadelphia on October
Z, 1887, talks knowingly ON the subject
when he says that every man has his
own peculiar method, but that there are
certain points which all jumpers OBJ
serve. Only few years ago standing
jump of five feet seven inches was con-
sidered marvellous, and but few athletes
in the United States could attain even
that. Now there are several men in
almost every city of Importance in the
country who are able to accomplish it.
There are many ways of approaching
the bar practiced by good athletes, but
those who stand near the top of the
list, including Mr.. Page, run toward it
directly at right angles. When the bar
is reached the body should be crouched
as low as possible, as only by that
means are all the muscles of the body
brought into play. The leverage of
the back is also important in assisting
the jumper, and by constant practice
the cartilages which connect the spine
may be brought to a high state of
elasticity.
The method practiced by Mr.. Page
is to approach the bar with three un-
equal long bounds and two short ones,
after which the crouching position is
assumed. When making the final
spring he twists the right foot vio-
lently outward, after which both arms
and legs are jerked suddenly upward
to give additional impetus to the jump.
The knees are brought into contact
with the chest, thereby causing the
body to occupy the smallest possible
space when crossing the bar. The sud
den twisting of the right foot outward
imparts similar motion to the body,
thereby causing it to turn half way
round from left to right. When the
body is near the top of the bar the
right arm is jerked toward the shoulder
and similar motion with the left
should follow. At the instant the arms
are jerked the legs should be shot out
from their doubled-up position, thus
carrying the body still further upward
Mr.. Page is the only one who has ever
accomplished successfully this shooting
motion of the legs, and it took him five
years to perfect it. Other things being
equal, the taller the man the better
jumper he is. Mr.. Pages method il
practiced in a modified form by j. ID
Webster, of the University of Penn
sylvania, but the Philadelphian ha
never attained the champions ease ant
grace. In his early career as an athlete
Mr.. Page gave no exceptional promise
and his present success is largely tn,
result of that indispensable attribute O
successful etics-indomitable per
severance.-Bdltimore Herald.

APPRENTICES AND UNIONS.

Mr.. j. B. Sullivan, for many years
master painter in Chicago, has been
talking of renticeships to the trades
He gives some good advice, because ne
is intelligent and speaks from e4-
perience. Labor unions, almost with
out exception, limit the number OF
apprentices, the theory being that IL
more journeymen are made, wages VIII
be cut down by competition. The re-
suit of restricting the number of young
men to whom trades may be taught is
bad in more ways than one. Mr.. Sui
Ivan points out that the denial OF
trades to Americans has brought IN
foreigners who do the work which
should be me by native BORN citizens.
This cannot be denied. There is
certain amount of skilled labor, and If
there are not skilled Americans to do
it, others will put in an appearance
Another evil is this, that young Amer
leans being denied spprenticeships and
thus deprived of the privilege OF
learning trades, acquire only
| superficial knowledge OF mechanical
arts and cannot, therefore, sue
cessfully compete with the skilled
mechanic from abroad. Our boys grow
I'D without practical knowledge, and
when it comes to struggle for exist
ence they are handicapped by lack o.
the training essential to good WORK
men. There is not room for them all
in the professions. They cannot all
| be doctors, lawyers and teachers; nor
can they all be clerks, bookkeepers and
cashiers. A very large percentages OF
them must give themselves up to
manual labor, or get their living IN
soma other than honest and regular
ways.
The HERALD has, on several occas-
ions. referred to this matter. 1t has
urged young men to learn trades, and
has as often been met by the declara-
ton that the young men cannot learn
, trades because the unions will not per
, NIT employers to take those who want
to become apprentices. Wise parents
who have desired to give their sons as
: an inheritance knowledge of the
: mechanical arts, have been bal
, fed in their efforts by the oppo
: sition of the craftsmen. ANY o.
l us can name men who have gone 70
} wreck, or who are working for th'
S wages of the common day laborer, Wht
would have been successful and pros
2 porous if in their youth they had beer
= given an opportunity to learn trades
4 Any of US can name among our youth
q full acquaintances boys who are COINS
! to the bad because they cannot be ap
: prent;ced.
= We cannot but think the union
S stand in their own light in this matter
= America ought not to recruit her skille'
Y labor from Europe. We have the ma
t terial, and we do wrong by not givini
It it a chance. 1t is certainly better TO
s the country that American youth b
8 skilled and American labor employed
= If there is more work than our own PEG
g pie can manage, we can send abroad
q any time for assistance.
3. There should be good apprentice
e law in every State and Territory, an
e the labor unions should remove the res
is trictions which prevent many youn
lie men from becoming worthy, self-sup
h porting citizens.
