William Henry Smith.

There are few journalists in America
who have had more varied and in
teresting career than William Henry
Smith, general manager of the Associ-
ated Press, New York. William Henry
Smith first saw the light of day in Go,
lumbia County, New York, on the LIST
of December, 1888, and is descended
from two old English families. His
father, William DeForrest Smith, who
was born in Litchtield County, Con-
necticut, in 1906, was a grandson OF
Bethel Smith, of Kent, who was q
grandson of Rev. Henry Smith, cler-
gyman we'll known in the Connecticut
valley. His mother was daughter of
Deacon Story Cobb, of Spencertown,
Columbia County, who was lieuten-
ant in the army during the Revolution
airy war, and was descended from Daniel
Cobb, who settled in the Connecticut
valley prior to 1890. The family was
of Dutch origin and came to America
for religious freedom. The parents of
w. III. Smith emigrated to Ohio and
settled on the Darby Plain, in Union
County, in 1885, when the subject of
this sketch was about two years old.

He, being Of studious turn of mind,
was given the advantage of thorough
education. Subsequently he was tutor
in Western college, aud then assistant
editor of weekly paper in Cincinnati,
Of which at the age of twenty-five, he
became editor, doing also editorial work
on the Literary Review" At the out
break Of the late civil war he was on
the editorial staff of the Cincinnati
Gazette, and during the war he took
an active part in raising troops and for
warding sanitary supplies, and in po-
litical work for strengthening the gov
eminent. He was largely instrumental
in bringing Gov. John Brough to the
front as the candidate of the united Re-
publicans and war Democrats, and at
Brough's election, in 1868, he became
the latter's private secretary. The next
year he was elected secretary of state
on the Union ticket by a majority of
about 10000, and was reelected in
1866. He retired from public Office to
establish the Eve7oiaag Chronicle at
Cincinnati, but his health giving way
he was forced to withdraw from all ac-
tive work. In January, 1870, he took
charge of the affairs of the Western As
ISOLATED Press, with headquarters at
Chicago. In 1877 he was appointed by
President Hayes collector Of the port at
that city, and was instrumental in
bringing about important reforms in
customs methods in harmony with the
civil-service policy of the administra-
ton. In January, 1883, he effected the
union of the New York Associated
Press with the Western Associated
Press, and became general manager
of the consolidated association. Mr..
Smith is a student of historical SUBJ
jects. He is author of "The st.
Clair Papers" a biography Of Charles
Hammond, and many contributions
to American periodicals. He has
partly completed political His
tory Of the United States" By his in
vestigations in the British Museum he
has brought to light many unpublished
letters Of Washington to Col. Henry
Bouquet, and has shown that those
which were published by Jared Sparks
were not given correctly.

Postage.Stamp Curiosities.

A certain well-known gentleman in
the city owns valuable collection of
postage-stamps which has taken him
twelve years to get together. "My
collection isn't complete" he said, with
a sigh, "and it never will be. Why :?
Because it would require 100000 to
make it so. There are about six
thousand different descriptions of post
age-stamps in existence. The museum
of the Berlin Postoffice alone contains
between four and five thousand speci-
mems, of which half are from Europe
and the remainder divided between
Asia, Africa, America and Australia.
Some of the stamps bear coat of
arms and other emblems, impartially
borrowed from the heavens above, the
earth beneath and the waters under
the earth, stars, eagles, lions, horses,
serpents, railway trains, dolphins and
other fearful wild fowl. There are,
moreover, the vignette efigies of five
Emperors, eighteen Kings, three
Queens, one Grand Duke and many
Presidents. Some of these stamps
cannot be purchased for $1,000, while
others cannot be purchased for any
sum. I tell you the life of a stamp
collector isn't unlike that of Tantalus. :"

What We Know OF Color.

All we know of color, its causes and
effects, is in connection with the wave
theory of light. Color depends upon
the number of light waves reflected
from any object impinging uponthe ret
ina of the eye. In red there are about
10000 waves to the inch, and these
will strike the eye at the rate Of AT
millions of millions Of pulsations per
second. In violet there $1,000 waves
to the inch, and 600 millions of millions
of pulsations per second. The other
colors have wave lights intermediate
between these two Color does not,
therefore, exist either in the object or
in the brain or the mind of the observ-
err. It is an effect. There can be no
appearance of fire on desert island
where there is no eye within seeing dis
lance. The chemical process called
combustion goes on, but there is no
appearance Of the flame save when its
waves strike upon the retina of an eye.

Fishing for sponees.

Nearly all Of the sponges used in the
United States were brought from the
Mediterranean until 1852, when atten-
ton was called to the immense num-
bers that We're growing in Florida
waters. AS soon as it was found that
the quality of these compared favora-
bly, with those of Europe the merchants
and fitters-out of vessels engaged very
actively in the business of placing them
on the market. During the past eigh-
teen years the business has been en-
ergetically pursued with good results.
The methods employed in the fishery
differ greatly from those employed in
the Mediterranean, where divers go
down and bring up the sponges. Small
vessels, carrying crews of from five to fif-
teen men, are fitted out at Key West
and Apalachicola, for trips of from
four to eight weeks on the sponge
grounds. The crews are paired off
into small row boats, or "dingies," to
catch the sponges. One man stands
in the stern, sculling the boat, while
the other kneels in the bottom amid
ships, with the upper half of his body
leaning over the side, and scans the
bottom of the sea. To aid the eye an
instrument called "water glass, y
which is a common water bucket whose
wooden bottom has been replaced by
one of glass, is used by setting it in the
water and thrusting the face as far into
it as convenient. When o sponge is
sighted the boat is stopped, and the
kneeling man uses two-pronged hook.
attached to slender pole thirty or
forty feet in length, to secure it. Con-,
siderable dexterity is required of both
men. To cure sponges they are first
spread about the deck in their natural
upright position, SO that they will die,
and while decomposing allow the gela-
tinous matter to run off freely. When
they have been several days in this po-
sition they are taken to the shore and
thrown into the water in little pens,
called "crawls," where the remaining
substance is soaked and squeezed out.
The spongers thus work on, day after
day, under tropical sun that burns
and browns the skin until one cannot
tell white man from negro. It is a
desperately hard life, more severe than
any other that one can think of, and it
requires men Of no ordinary constitu-
ton to stand up to it. The spongers
are, therefore, naturally an exceedingly
muscular set.-Neao York Times.
