The Gallaudet Monument.

One of the most beautiful pieces of artistic
workmanship, and one which most appropri,
ately fills the niche for which it is intended, is
the statue to be soon unveiled at Washing
ton, erected to Thomas II. Gallaudet LII d.
founder of deaf mute education in America.
In the early part of this century Gallaudet
took an interest in little girl who was a
deaf mute and taught her an alphabet OF
signs. In the statue he is represented teach
ing this child-Alice Cogswell-who is stand.
ing by his side.
A convention Of deaf mutes and those in
terested in their education will be held at
Washington at the time of the unwilling OF
the statue. The last convention was held in
New York four years ago. At that conven-
ton it was voted to raise q fund for the
statue. Over $4,000 was contributed, and
two years ago contract for its design and
construction was made with Daniel c. French
of Concord. The date of unwilling is fixed
for June 26
DR.. Gallaudet was graduated from the An

Waste of Natural Gas,

The American Manufacturer prints
an article calling attention to the
waste of natural gas which is going
on in those districts where it has been
discovered in abundance and devoted
to practical ends. The article gives
figures gathered from certain num-
Der OF factories in Pittsburg, and the
tables show that from twenty-five to
thirty-ive per cent. of the whole
amount of natural gas consumed in
these establishments is wasted, either
through the use of defective apparatus
or the carelessness and indifference of
operatives. 1t cannot be said that
there are reliable indications showing
that there will be any general failure
of the gas supply in the near future,
but the dictates of ordinary prudence
are all On the side of a consumption
which is adequate to the carrying on
of business, and not on the side of
squandering valuable fuel merely be-
cause it is cheap and the supply SEEM

An Extraordinary Story,

tigating truly marvellous case. A
boy at the public grammar school has
confessed to his father that he has,
for some time past, taken money from
the till in his shop, being ordered to
do so by man who had made him the
subject of experiments in hypnotism-
The father went to the school authori-
ties, and it was discovered that a
whole class of boys were in a SINH

and by process known as 'sugges-
ton" were made to steal money Srom

An Eternal Relic.

Asoka, believed to be the grandson
of the Indian sovereign whose realms
were invaded by Alexander the Great,
became convert to Buddhism, and
in extending that form of religion en-
acted a part analogous to that of Con-
stantine in establishing Christianity.
About fifteen hundred years ago he
distributed morsels of the bones of the
saints to all kings with whom he was
in alliance, and a prince in Guzerat
resolved that his relic should last
while time endured. He inclosed it
in a bottle of gold, and that in cas-
ket of silver, and that in a vessel OF
copper, and that in bowl of baked
clay-a substance as durable as the
earth of the world-and that in a
Golfer of claystone, and that in hol-
low square of sandstone, and that
again, in a pyramid of brick moro
than eighty feet high, and at the base
the same thickness; and finally, as
we understand, a description only on
this point obscure, faced the entire
structure with stone blocks. The
prince did not spend all that thought
and labor and treasure only to honor
long as India or Time itself should
last, and SO well did he plan that he
succeeded in preserving it for fifteen
hundred years.
His dynasty ceased and was even
forgotten, his people changed their
creed and ceased to worship Buddha,
his clearances were abandoned by HUI
man beings and the jungle spread its
CELEBRATING mantle over roads and
plain and pyramid, and still the relic
remained as safe in its golden bottle as
it was when the prince placed it there.
And there the British arch9ologist,
Mr.. 'ampbell, found it, the NOR
sci of bone uncalcined, the gold of the
bottle as bright as ever the silver cas-
ket only furnished, the copper cover
ing only rusted, the bowl of baked
clay unchanged, as it would be if left
there till the world cooled, the clay
stone Golfer unbroken, the sandstone
cavity unviolated, the pyramid still
resisting climate and time and men
who had in some past age sought
treasure in its interior. London Tele-

Advice to n Young Man.

So you were little too pert, and
spoke without thinking, did you, my
son9 And you got picked up right
suddenly on your statement, eh9 Oh,
we'll, that's all right; that happens to
older men than you, every day. l
have noticed that you have very
positive way of flinging decision
where other men state an opinion,
and you frequently make positive as
sertion where older men merely ex-
press belief. But never mind; you
are young. You will know less as you
grow older. Don't | mean you will
know more" Heaven forbid, my
boy. No, indeed, l mean that you will
know less. You will never know
more than you do now; never. If you
live to be ten thousand years old, you
will never again know SO much as
you do now. No hoary headed sage
whose long and studious years were
spent in reading men and books, ever
knew SO much as a boy of your age.
A girl of Is knows about as much, but
then she gets over it sooner and more
easily. docs it cause a pang then,
to get rid of early knowledge" All,
my boy, it does. Pulling eye teeth
and molars will seem like pleasant
recreation alongside Of shredding off
great solid slabs and layers of wisdom
and knowledge that now press upon
you like geological strata. But how
are you to get rid of all this superin-
cumbent wisdoma" Oh, easily enough,
my boy just keep on airing it; that's
the best way. 1t won't stand constant
use, and it disintegrates rapidly on ex-
posture to air.-Burdette in Brooklyn

There lives in this country an old negro
preacher who is very illiterate, doesn't know
single letter of the alphabet, and yet,
strange to relate, he can turn to and read
any passage of Scripture in the book of St.
John; and the strangest part of it all is that
this is the only book in the Bible in which he
can read. We don't know how to account
for this unless it is that he has memorized the
entire book, and the constant use of one
Testament for possibly two score years has
so imprinted it on his mind that he readily
recognizes the contents of each page He
cannot read in any other Bible except hi:

Is There Life on the Planets?

Here, again, we have only conjec-
ture to guide us. With respect to
the bodies constituting the solar sys-
tenn, which from their comparative
proximity to the earth, might be sup
posed to furnish a solution of this
problem, careful observations have
heretofore offered no Indication what
ever of the existence of life upon
their surfaces. But life in some
form or another may, notwithstand-
ing, exist on those bodies. We must
bear in mind that the planets are in
all probability in various stages of
development.
It may be reasonably presumed
that the planets Jupiter, Saturn, IRA
nus and Neptune, in consequence of
their enormous bulk, have cooled
down more slowly than the earth and
the other small planets of the solar
system, and are, therefore, less adj
vanced as abodes of animated exist
ence than the latter are. But even
in the case of the earth, it must be
admitted to have revolved millions of
years round the sun merely as a fiery
orb, before life appeared on its sur
face, and even after it had cooled
down and become the abode of ami
mated existence, it produced, during
countless millions of years more, life
only in its lowest forms. The exist
ence of man is but of yesterday.
This is an instructive lesson. It
teaches us that although man exists
on the earth's surface, it does not
follow that beings of the same order
or intelligence as man exist upon all
the other planets, OF even upon any
/ of them.
Upon some of the planets life may
not have yet come into existence
upon others life may exist, but in a
less advanced stage than upon the
earth: and the same remark is obvi-
ously applicable to the numberless
bodies of the starry armament. The
state of the question then is this
We cannot pronounce positively upon
the existence of life anywhere beyond
the planet upon which we dwell. But
reasoning from analogy, we may sup
pose that certain: if not all, of tht
other bodies of the planetary system
which in so many respects bear :
strong affinity to our planet. are j.

form or another, and that simiarl..

Steamers hunt the whales in this
latitude. The harpOon is made with
four umbrella-like ribs, which is fired
from the cannon on the ship into the
whales body. Pressure makes it
open up, and take wider and firmer
hold, and the whale pulling sets off
some nitro-glycerine confined in the
cone or front part of the harpoon.
With all this the whale sometimes
runs for many miles, drawing after it
the ship, often at the rate of sixteen
knots an hour, land marking its course
with blood. Two thousand feet of
heavy rope are fastened to the har-
pooh, but this, as indicated, does not
allow sufficient play for this great
monster, which is often seventy to
eighty-five feet long, and weighs
100000 pounds. Afterward, when
the whale is dead or nearly so, an
iron chain is put around its body, and
towed into the harbor of the fishing
company.
