Chicago now claims to be the second city in
the United States in population and the largest
in area, and envious rivals say that if it had
been little more moderate in the annexing
business it would still be behind Philadelphia,
if not Brooklyn. And yet the recent annexa-
items appear to be justified, for the suburbs
annexed are continuous with Chicago proper,
and their citizens voted to become Chicagoese

Logic Among Friends.

If people wish to live well together, they
must not hold too much logic, and suppose
that every thing is to be settled by spfs
ficient reason. Or. johnson say this clear
~ with regard to married people, when he
said: ''Wretched would be the pair above
all names of wretchedness who should be
doomed to adjust by reason, every morn
ing, all the minute detzils of domestic
day" But the appNcation should be much
more general than he made 1t. There is no
time for such reasonings, and nothing that
is worth them. And when we recoIlect
how two lawyers, or two politicians, can go
on contending, and that there is no end of
one-sided reasoning on any subject, we
shall not be sure that such contention is the
best mode for arriving at truth. But it is
not the way to arrive at good temper.

blinds at bottle and glasses and the
smoke of cigars and to hear the sounds Of
cheerful laughter, though it behooved him
TO let the Bishop know what was going on.
Thereupon he wrote to that distinguished
functlonary, of course greatly. exaggera-

AFTER FoRTY-oNE YEARS.

Uncle Bob Caise, of Kentucky, Meets
with u Remarkable Experience.
Old Uncle Bob Caise Is one of the best
farmers of this county, writes Lancaster
correspondent of the Sun. Forty-one
years ago, when Uncle Bob was q young
man. he went fishing in big pond at Camp
Dick Robinson, near here. He waded
waist deep to large stump in the pond.
Upon this stump he perched himself and
cast his line into the water. While waiting
for bite he thrust his hand ito his pocket
for chew of tobacco. In withdrawing il
he accidentally pulled along with it his
knife and pocketbook, and they fell into the
water at the base of the stump. The purse
was new, and contained six dollars and
twenty cents in silver. The knife was like.
wise new, and had been source of great
pride to the young fisherman. He explored
for his lost treasures, but could not find
them.
During the forty-one years which have
elapsed since the loss OF Uncle Roh,s
pocketbook and knife the pond has shrunk
greatly from its former size. The .tump
from which Uncle Bob tished has been left
on dry land. A large sycamore bush, which
at the time of Uncle Boh's misadvent-
ure was growing by the side of the
stump, has expanded into q con.

earth around the stump and discovered
piece of corroded iroD, which was the re.

Uncle Bob resumed his task of cutting nm
the sycamore tree. He split open the trunk

There is an old story, writes Arlo Bates
IN the Book Buyer, which relates that in
the early days of I. B. Aldrich's editing Of

who had, or pretended to have, some vague
literary aspirations, remarked to his new

ENERGY OF STORMS.

illogical Phenomena.

Some of the Laws and Theories Of Meteor
illogical Phenomena.
II. A. Hazeu, in discussing the subject in
the st. Louis Giobo-Democrat, states that
the theory was advanced by Espy in 1885
that the energy of our storms and tornadoes
was entirely due to the latent heat set free
in the condensation of the aqueous vapor in
the air. He supposed that a primary impulse
was given to an ascending current by the
heat OF the sun falling certain limited
portion of the earth, and that saturated air in
this ascending current, through expansion
ana cooling, had its moisture Condensed
This condensation liberated the latent heat
stored up through the process of evapora-
ton, and this in turn heated up the air, pro-
oucing rarefaction and an increased up
ward motion. The longer this process went
- the more inten Sc the action became, the
more heat was erolyed, and thus more and
more force was evolved. Prof. Ferrel
adopted this view in part, and said that
without the action of some constant force
the primary impulse would rapidly lose its
satensity through friction, and thus the dis
turbance we0ldsqu come toa end. This
constant force he maintaiaed was the heat
ing of the air through condensation, etc., as
set forth by Espy. Prof. Mohn, one Of the
