Literary Success To-day.

Some men and women-and there
are many OF them-of positive ability
and undoubted energy, after bitter
years of high purpose and strong en-
deavor, fail most ANONYMOUSLY in
literature, ard 60 down to the grave
unknown, unrecognized, unappreciat-
ed. On the other hand, the world is
full of mountebanks and mediocre
geniuses who "catch the trick and
fantasy of fame" and their names are
on every lip and in every paper. Tru-
ly, OF late years, literary success in the
United States has grown to be so con
temptible, that failure is virtually be.
ginning to be honorable.
How much longer is this regime to
last? How much longer before the
Howells, the Rives-Chanlers, the
Wheeler Wilcoxes, the Hawthornes,
the Roes, the Stevensons. and the rest
are leveled to the ground and their
superiors are elevated to their places
in public opinion?
A few more years OF the low standard
OF public taste that now prevails-and
has prevailed during the past half a
dozen years-and the Edinburgh Re-
view will be indeed justified in asking
for the second time, "Who reads an

A Rio Sun SnOt-

huge sun spot, compared in mag
nitude with some of the great spots
seen five or six years ago, is now WISH
bic on the solar disk, says the New
York Sun. A good eye should be able
TO see it with the aid of smoked
G lass. 1t is fully three diameters Ct
the earth across, and somewhat irreg-
ular in outline. Along the cages of
the dark central chasm the familiar
tonguc-shaped projections of the pho
tOsphcric flame can be seen. The
whole aspect of the spot Is such as to
remind the observer that the myster-
ious commotion which affects the sur
face OF the solar globe, reaching a
maximum once in every eleven years,
is about to manifest itself again after
several years OF comparative reposc.
1t will be interesting to notice how
much information we shall be able to
gather during the coming sun-spot
period upon the vcXcd question OF the
connection between sun-spots and the
weather. The theory that there is a
most intimate relation of that kind has
received enthusiastic support in some
quarters since the Sun called general
attention, nine or ten years ago, to the
grounds upon which it was based. But
the highest authorities in astronomy
and meteorology have not yet accepted
the hypothesis as proved, except so fal
rs the undOubted connection between
solar disturbances and terrestrial mag
netism is concerned.

or celebrations, or as projectiles in

The main part OF the rocket is q

covered on one side with paste, around

end is then "choked," or brought
tightly together, with Irvine.

The Man Who Ride to COnemaugh.

Into the town Of Conemaugh,
Striking the peoples souls with awe,
Dashed q rider, aflame and pale,
Never alighting to tell his tale,
Sitting mis- big bay horse astride.
'Run for your lives to the hills" he cried;
''Run to the hills" was what he said
AS he waved his hand and dashed ahead.
"Run for your lives to the hills !" he cried,
Squirting his horse whose reeking side
Was flecked with foam as red as flame,
" hther he goes and whence he came
Nobody knows. They see his horse
Plunging on in frantic course,
Veins distended and noStrils wide,
Fired and frenzied at such ride.
Nobody knows the riders name
Dead forever to earthly fame.
"Run to the hills to the hillsr' he cried;
''Run for your lives to the mountain sider'
'Stop him! he's mad just look at him go!
'Tain't safe they said, to let him ride
sO.h
'He thinks to scare u.s." said one with
laugh,
'.But Conemaugh folks don't swallow no
chaff
'Tain't nothing, I'll bet, but the same old
In the dam above the South Fork creek
Blind to their danger, callus OF dread,
ahead.
run for your lives to the hills ~ he cried,
Lashing his horse in his desperate ride
Down through the valley the rider passed,
Shouting, and squirting his horse on fast;
But not 50 fast did the rider go
AS the raging, roaring, mighty flow
OF the million feet and the millions moro
OF water whose fury he fled before.
On he went, and on it came.
The food itself very flame
or surging, swirling, seething tide,
Mountains high and torrents wide.
God alone might measure the force
or the Conemaugh food in its V-shapad
course.
Behind him were buried under the food
Conemaugh town and all who stood
Jeering there at the man who cried,
run for your lives to the mountain side"
On he sped in his fierce, wild ride.
"Run to the hills to the hills" he cried,
Nearer, nearer came the roar
Horse and rider fed before.
Dashing along the valley ridge,
They come at last to the railroad bridge,
The big horse stood, the rider cried,
"Run for your lives to the mountain sidem
Then plunged across, but not before
The mighty. merciless, mountain roar
Struck the bridge and swept it away
Like bit of straw or wisp of hay.
But over and under and through that
tide
The voice of the unknown rider cried,
"Run to tue hills! to the hills ~ it cried,-
sRun for your lives TO the mountain side ~

some very emphatic expressions and exclama-
lions on the street the other day when gentle

''Tut! tut my boy! Such words as that

In backing up he struck the same loose
plank which had tripped the boy up, and he
fell at full length and rolled OIL the curbstone.

edge on the log and the other edge
held up by the men so that the fish

The log is pushed along to the land,

What Is He! - - n =
A moral strife

What is life' 1T r.. ..H
A moral strife
In bliss and b3ne, to win some gain
From truth or wrong, or toll or song:
The mirth and tears and hopes and fears
To dare and bear that each hath share,
And must endure, to make more sure
Of worldly rest-the souls sad quest.
What is love!

Ebeh heart by pain and loss and gain,
Through worth and wrong OF shame or song
The joys and tears of faith and fears
That make life fair, the precious share
That doth endure and will make sure

What is death!
A failing breath
And then no pain of life, but gain
From toll and wrong and faith and song;
Or tears of years of worldly fears
From woe and care that mortals share
And sad endure, comes peace made sure,
Immortal rest-the souls blest quest!
