An Electrical Deep Sea Sounding
Apparatus.

A simple and efficient electrical de-
vice for taking soundings, and giving
an alarm on the board of a vessel
when it approaches shoal water, has
been patented by two gentlemen re-
siding in the city of Mexico. The
body of the sounder is a metal cylin-
der, with it's bottom lined and cham
bered to receive a central socket in
which is inserted the lower end of a
tube made of insulating material ,clos
ed at its upper and lower ends by
discs of conducting material, the tube
being about half filled with mercury
Brackets on the inner surface of the
cylinder support a plate having me-
tallic collar enclosing an elastic pack
ing which covers and seals the top
end of the tube, the rest of the cylin-
der being filed with shot, to hold the
sounder perpendicularly in the water.
A conical head is fitted to the sound
er, and cable passing through it
carrying two electrical conductors is

Infant Prodlgies. I

A gift for music and mathematics
seems specially apt to develop at an
early age, but accomplishments of
that sort are not equally indicative of
future eminence. Calculating boys"
with rare exceptions, lose their spec
ial talent in after years, like Zerah
Colburn, who in his seventh year
could tell the number of seconds in
any desired number of weeks, and
ten wears after was unable to do the
sums of common arithmetical prim-
er. Musical prodigies, on the other
hand, continue to develop a faculty
which, after all seems a comparative
ly moderate tax on the resources of
the cerebral organism. Mozart COM
posed a symphony at nine, and Josef
Hoffman, at eight years of age, has
mastered the intricacies of Schubert's
sonatas but their fame may be eclips
ed by that of Charley Schenett, of
Mansfield, Massachusetts, a bright
eyed youngster of three years and a
half, who recently entertained large
audience at the Globe Theater in
Boston. He sings and plays har-
monica in perfect tune, and can play
any melody he hears whistled twice,
and after lingering such musical in
struments as guitars and parlor Or
gans for a couple of minutes, seems
to comprehend the system of their
keyboards by sort of instinct.

Sir Hugo's Choice.

1t is better to die, since death comes surely,
In the full noontide of an honored name,
Than to lie at the end of years obscurely,
handful of dust in shroud of shame.
Sir Hugo lived in the ages golden.
Warder of Alsne and Picardy;
He lived and died, and his deeds told in
The Book immortal of Chivalrie;
How he won the love OF princes daughter
A poor knight he with stainless sword
Whereat Count Rolf, who had vainly sought her,
Swore death should sit at the bridal board.
A braggart's threat, for a brave mans sconing!"
And Hugo laughed at his rivals i:e,
But courtiers twain, on the bridal morning,
To his castle gate came with tdngs dire.
The first a-faint and with armor riven:
''In peril sore have left thy bride
False Rolfe waylaid us. For love and Heavenl
Sir Hugo, quick to the rescue rde!''
Stout Hugo muttered word unholy;
He sprang to a horse and he flashed his brand,
But a hand was laid ON his bride slowly,
And herald spoke; "By the Kings command
'This to Picardy's trusty warder:-
France calls first for his loyal sword,
The Flemish spears are across the border,
And all is lost if they win the ford"
Sir Hugo paused, and his face was ashen,
His white lips trembled in silent prayer
Gods pity soften the spirits passion
When the crucifixion of Love is there!
What need to tell of the message spoken?
OF the hand that shook he poised his lance?
And the look that told of his brave heart broken,
AS he babe them follow, "For God and France?
On Cambray's field next morn they found him,
Mid mighty swath of foemen dead;
Her snow white scarf he had bound around him
With his loyal blood was baptized red.
1t is writ down in the book of glory.
On crimson pages of blood and strife,
With scanty thought for the simple story
Of duty dearer than love or life.
Only note obscure, appended
By warrior scribe monk perchance,
Saith: "The good knights ladye was Of
Tended
That he would not die for her, but France"
Did the ladye live to lament her lover?
Or did registering Rolf prove better mate?
1 have searched the records over and over,
But naught discover tell her fate.
And 1 read the moral-a brave endeavor
To do thy duty, whate'er its worth.
Is better than life with love forever
And love is the sweetest thing on earth.

Zone of his brothers soon felt the
same irresistible impulse upward, and
he also promised the sorrowing fami-
ly that, if he should indeed be chang
ed into that glorious creature of
which they had heard, he would re-
turn and tell them. But said one,
perhaps you might not be able to
come back
"'A creature so exalted could GER
tainly do anything replied the de-
parting grub. But he also came not
again. He has forgotten u.s. said
one. He is Dead said another,

same inward necessity driving him
upward. He babe his friends fare

may not understand it's nature
Ellis companions fingered near the
spot where he disappeared, but there
was neither sign nor sound of his re-
turn. Only the dreary sense of
bereavement reminded them that he
had once lived. Some feared the fu-
ture; some disbelieved some hoped
and looked forward still. All, if the
poor things could only have seen into
the pure air above their watery world,
they would have beheld their depart
ed friends often returning to its bor-
ders. But into the world of waters
they could never more enter. The
least touch upon it's surface as the
dragon-fy skinned over it with the
purpose of descending to his friends,
brought on deadly shock, such as
he had felt when, as water grub, he
had tried to come upward into the
air. His new wings instantly bore
him back. And thus, divided, yet
near, parted, yet united by love, he
often lowered about the barrier that |
him from his early compan-
ions, watching till they, too, should |
come forth into the better life. Sweet |
it was to each new conner to find him
self not alone in his joyous existence,
but welcomed into it by those who
have gone before. Sweet also to
know that even in their ignorant life |
below, CLEANS from the wings of the |
lost ones they had lamented were
shining down into their dark abode.
Oh, if they had known, they would |
neither have feared nor sorrowed so
much Gong.

A Path to the Throne.

Sometimes we are puzzled to re-
member how Queen Victoria came to
inherit the throne of England. We
remember that she was the daughter
of the Duke of Kent, the niece of her
immediate predecessor on the throne.
Here is paragraph for your scrap
book, giving the names of the lines
of rulers through whom the simple
hearted daughter of the wise duke
and duchess of Kent came to the En-
glish throne:
"Queen Victoria is the niece of
William w., who was the brother of
of George ~, who was the son of
George Ill., who was the grandson
of George H., who was the son of
George l., who was the cousin of
Anne, who was the sister-in-law of
William I'LL, who was the son-in-law
of James H., who was the brother
of Charles H., who was the son of
James l., who was the cousin of
Elizabeth, who was the sister of
Mary, who was the sister of Edward
VI, who was the son of Henry VIII,
who was the son of Henry VII, who
was the cousin of Richard I'LL, who
was the uncle of Edward w., who
was the cousin of Henry VI, who
was the son of Henry ", who was
the son of Henry w., who was cous-
in of Richard IL who was the grand
son of Edward Ill, who was the son
of Edward H., who was the son of
Edward |. who was the son of Henry
I'LL, who was the son of John, who
was the brother of Richard L., who
was the son of Henry H., who was
the brother of William Rufus, who
was the son of William the Conquer
or 800 years ago"
Her son, the Prince of Wales, will
be King of England and Emperor or
India. For Queen Victoria was the
first to unite the two countries under
our civil government, though Eng
land has controlled India for hundreds
of years. England and Scotland were
united under King James the first,
because he was heir and inherited
both thrones. Queen Victoria inner
tied the throne of England, but ac-
CURED that of India her son and
heir will inherit both"

Keep it Back.

Husbands and wives do not know
till they learn by experience (Which
some never do) how much can be
added to the sum of their happiness
by thinking twice, and indefinitely
postponing when either is tempted to
say a cutting thing to the other. 1t
does not take a great while for a
young couple to win the confidence,
each of the other, that nothing de-
signed to wound will be said. When
this confidence is established, words
which otherwise would infiict pain be-
come harmless. In q family where
this confidence is secured by uniform
respect for the feelings of each other,
there is degree of freedom from re-
straint, and of general happines,
which is impossible where it is not.
Every good family is a training
school, in which the husband and
wife, from the nuptial days, are pu-
pills.
He is an exceptional and rarely for
tunate young man who has not some
habits of department which mar his
character and influence. 1t is ex-
pected of the wife that she will COR
rect and eradicate these. Unless the
husband have an incurable, coarse
nature, she is justly held responsible
for the polish and neatness of his
manners, as much as for the purity
of his linen, when he appears in
church or society. And if the wife
have unpleasant imperfections of
manner or conduct, it always reflects
upon the husband. This shows that
by common consent the family is re-
garded as training school in which
the husband and wife, as we'll as the
children, are learners. Such being
the case, each should submit to the
necessary discipline with pleasure.
But if the habit of cutting and sar-
castle words prevail, it will break up
that school, and neither can be of
any benefit to the other. There is
injury as well as unhappiness, of
very serious character, resulting from
a sharp tongue in the family. And
the sharp tongue may usually
at first does not-represent the real
sentiments of the heart, but the Bit
terness is not long in finding its way
to the heart, and there it is liable to
remain-not always active, but alr
ways ready and always suspected.
Before you say cutting word to
husband, wife and child, think it over
deliberately.

d ITSEEIu SuRSTANCE

A New AND USEFUL SUBSTANCE
Ceiiuiose armor for ships is one of
the most interesting inventions of
the day. 1t is a fbroas substance
produced in France by secret rne-
chanical process from cocoanut husk.
When compressed, its specific gravity
is far less than that of cork. It is
the lightest solid known, and there
fore invaluable for life belts and life
mattresses, while in large quantities
its buoyancy will make ship nom
sinkable. 1t is used to fill compart-
ments In a ships side, and serves to
prevent water entering the ship thro'
a hole made by projectile or rock.
because the instant the water enters,
the cellulose is expanded by it to an
iInpenetrable tightness. 1t does not
decay or emit any odor and has been
packed in ships' compartments with
out undergoing any change. If a
mass of cellulose be penetrated by g
projectile it will not be ignited by the
friction. If the neck of bottle full
of water be filled with cellulose it
will effectpally cork the bottle. 1t is
coming largely into use in the French
navy.
