CHAPTER XIII.
GLASS PREJUDICE.

But the house looked so sedate and alto
gether respectable that it seemed impossible
but that everything was as usual inside. The
door stood invitingly open, as il should on such
balmy summer evening, the light streaming
beautifully out on the walk A catastrophe
surely would have left some sign, some
fatal mark somewhere to curdle ones blood
from afar. How foolish of this black eyed
maiden and him to rush at the top of their
speed in an agony of suspense only to find
Bertha sitting at the parlor table mild eyed
and serene as he had used to know herl She
had only stepped across the street perhaps.
How she would wonder to see him hurry
ing in his unreasonable fear into her pres
encel But he would pour into her ears such
a torrent of words of love that she would
bless him a thousand times that he had come
back, and their happiness would date from
tonight. Perhaps she had tender conf
dences for him, too, of how wonderfully she
had grown into the love he had longed for,
and she would whisper to him that the few
weeks of arrangement had been blessing Of
God for her, and he need never again COM
plain of the GOODNESS of her love. Life is not
SO serious and tragical an affair as one some
times thinks; things don't always plungs
into the ruin they are pointed toward.
BY the time Philip stepped into the door,
he had fully discounted his expected relief
indeed, had almost persuaded himself that he
had had no misgivings, there seemed SO little
sense in misgivings.
But he did not find the blue eyed woman he
loved at her parlor table. He looked for %
crochet needle or square of canvas, which
might show the marks of recent work; but
the round table was in perfect order. The
little book shaped card basket stood near the
bronze base of the drop lamp. A large red
morocco bound volume, called "The Dresden
Gallery" was tilted up little by blue and
gold book of Swinburne's poems, on which it
had been laid. The gracefully carved book
rack was full, all but one space the volume of
poems might have fitted into.
''Just as arranged it after tea," said Jane
Graves, moving neasily about.
"For heavens sake be STILL" he exclaimed.
He stepped out into the hall.
"Why, here is her shawl" he said, with a
lghtened heart
1T is her heavy shawl that is gone;" che
girl looked peculiarly at him when she added
almost under her breath, "the one she takes
on evening drives"
Philip shot glance Of sudden intelli-
gence at her, and terrible suggestions and
recollections cano crowding their hateful
meanings upon him. The mad blood seemed
congesting about his heart, and yet his face
blazed like fire Good Godm he shouted

upward on the floor, then he ground it
viciously beneath the heel of his boot, and
walked away without deigning to cast an
other look at it.
Berthas pure bed, which her graceful form
had pressed SO many years-an inscrutable
awe crept over him; it seemed impious to
look; he fell ON his knees and buried his hot
face in the pillow where he fancied her head
had rested.
"Oh, my lost darling, my lost Bertha, you
have taken all the joy and hope Of my life
with youn and his slight frame shook with

Cause Of Decay Ia Steel.

II has recently been discovered by a
board Of naval experts al the United States
navy yard. Mares Island. Cal. that the
cause Of the sudden deterioration in the
steel used in building the new cruisers
for the government Is not due TO the
ravages Of a worm. as was supposed,
but is caused by the fungus Teronosporus
in~festans, so well known as the cause Of
potato rot.
With the delicate apparatus procured
by the government for testing the quail
ties and detecting fraud in metals in
tended for government uses, IL has been
a%scertained that the minute spoons or suds.
which flolt in the air. are introduced into
the metallic body while in the molten
state during the process of carbonization.
They also find that this form of steel rot
is alarmingly epidemic in much Of the
government material.
A large and profitable field is open to
inventors and scientific men who will de-
wise means 10 arrest the spores OF this
fungus as they are drawn into the cal
bombing furnaces, or who can prevent
their growth and spread either in the
ingot or manufactured forms of STEEL.

Water Changed 60 Blood.

There is an animalcule, sometimes
called the englena sanguinea, or the
blood red englena, which multiplies so
rapidly in some places that the surface
Of the pool soon resembles a great clot Of
blood, TO the wonder of those who see it
for the first time. and do not suspect the
cause. The little creature seems to be
abundant all over the known world, and
Ehrenberg, a German naturalist, who
discovered and named il, suggested that
the first plague Of Egypt, when the water
was apparently changed into blood, as
Narrated in the Bible, may have been
caused by a prodisious and miraculous
increase of this little blood red infuso-
rian.
Within very recent times an apparent
change Of water into blood has come TO
the writer's notice in the White mount
aims, ia northern New York, and in sew
eral places in New Jersey. The phe-
nomenon is not very rare. The creature
that causes this change has itself a pecu-
liar color habit according 10 It's age. In
early youth and middle life its color is a
vivid green; in maturity and old age it
assumes the crimson hue referred to, and
often the same individual may be both
green and red as either color reaches the
surface during the body's movement,
each coming and going in a wave that
flows across the little creature. or q
minute spot may be rosy red in the gen.
eral green, or an emeral island may APP
pear in this miniature sea of crimson

A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.
Curious Custom In the Tuscan Highlands.
saints R~ones-yillage Lottery.

In the Tuscan Highlands at the village
of Cutipliano they keep high feast on the
Sth Of August in memory of Saint Azure
Illus and Saint lren@us, whose bones lie
in state in the town church. The sacred
remains exhibited on the holiday are pre-
served in richly gilt shrines, with glass
front and sides. The skulls are bare in
all their grinning hideousness; the rest
of the skeletons are happily hid in rich
costumes. the hands covered with silk
gloves and the feet with elegant stock
ings,
After mass is over in the church and
the people have been blessed, a priest
standing at the altar holds up a reliquary
containing the bone of a saint for the
alteration of the crowd. One by n the
men come up TO the altar steps, devoutly
kiss the glass that covers the precious
bone, and drop a copper or two into the
brass tray which is carried by an attend
ant. After each OSCILLATION the glass is
carefully wiped with a napkin and then
presented TO the next in order.
The women come after the men. The
faith of these is apparently more lively.
They seem fully satisfied that by the act
Of alteration they have committed them
selves to she effectual safeguard of the
saint, and they turn away their faces
radiant with peace and contentment.
Here comes a family group, a mother
leading a little girl by the hand with a
baby on her arm. 1t is touching to see the
earnestness with which the mother presses
the pouting lips of her infant against
the sacred charm and the JOY with which
she broods over him when she has thus
secured his salvation; behind comes an
old woman, wrinEled, intirm. alone in
the world, but the weight Of her years
and trouble seems TO grow light when
she has secured the good viii and inter-
cession of the saint.
So they come in a long succession Of
every age and condition, but all believ-
ing and devout. Long after the service
Is over the worshippers remain absorbed
in prayer. kneeling in different parts Of
the church, utterly lost to all that passes
around.
After leaving the church the Tuscans
repair 10 the village green, where a lot
terry is in progress, and every one, from
the gray head to the toddllng infant in
vests in a ticket. They are very SUPER
stitious about significant numbers. One
man chooses eight because his cat at
home has that number Of kittens, an
other Twenty-Five because his son fell
and broke his leg on that day of the
month: still another fifteen because there
are that number of letters in the saints
name whom they celebrate.
Every one is in good humor while the
drawing takes place, and ever if their
numbers are unsuccessful they leave with
the conviction that it will surely come
up on the next feast day. -Foreign Letter.

The lighthouse board is about to under.
take experiments which will have an i'm
portant bearing on the lighting of dan
gcrous points in our rivers and hnrbors.
1t is nothing less than the lighting of
buoys by electricity. The method at
present in use for Illuminating buoys con-
sists in supplying them with oil or gas.
With both Of these it is necessary to re-
plenish the source Of illumination peri
odically, and this means additional
trouble and expense. Besides, in most
cases. the buoy is allowed to remain con
SANITY lighted, as il is not visited daily.
Hence it appears that the electric light
is especially adapted to this purpose. as
il requires no attention whatever and is
under control at all times.-New Orleans
