ESCAPED TaE STORMS.

The Salt Lake Tribune says,
during the last week, tremendous
storms have swept the world
around. They have been disas-
trous in China, India, Europe and
our Eastern States. The region
transversed by the Rocky and
Sierra Nevada mountains is about
all that has escaped. Whether
the scientists can explain what
has caused the mighty precipita-
ton or not we do not know. bnt
the fact is certainly apparent that
there is hardly parallel to what
has been experienced. 1t is possi-
BILE that the storm has not yet even
quite expended It's force, and we
may still have heavy rain,
though it IS late in the season for
a very severe storm. Take it all
in all, it is doubtful if lany part OF
the earth is as free from destructive
storms of all kinds as this region,
from the Western base of the
Wasatch range to the Eastern
slope of the Sierras.

I Origin Of the Shot. t.Tower.

There was a mechanic in Bristol,
Eng, whose name was Watts, by trade
q shoemaker. Watts had to take great
bars OF lead and pound them out into
sheets Of thickness about equal to the
diameter of the shot he desired to
make. Then he cut the sheets into lit
tle SAbes, which he rolled in revolv-
sng barrel until the corners were worn
on from the constant friction. Watts,
after On evening spent with some jolly
cofhpanions at the ale-house, went
home and turned into bed. He dreamed
that he was out again with the "boys." !"
They were all trying to find their way
home when II began to rain shot
Beautiful globules OF lead, polished
and shining, fell to his feet. In the
morning when Watts arose he remem-
bereds his dream, and wondered what
shape hl0dten lead would take in fall
ing a distance through the air. AT last
he carried ladle full Of the hot metal
up IN the steeple OF the church OF St.
Mary Of Redelifi, and dropped 1t into
the mote beiow. Descending he took
from tho Bottom Of the shallow pool
several handfuls Of perfect shot, far
superior TO any he had ever seen.
Watts torture was made. He had
conceived the idea Of the shot-tower. =

CRABS AS DANCERS.

A LudIcrOus Performance Enacted bY .
Male and Female Crab.
Without apparent cause he was seen
to rise upon the third and fourth pairs
OF legs; his large chelB were thrown
above his head with the claws open
and their points touching In the mid
die line, his fifth pair OF feet were held
horizontally behind, and his body per-
pendicular to the floor Of the aquarium,
or at right angles to the normal posi-
ton. The posture was ludicrous, and,
when in this position he began slowly
to gyrate, his movements and attitude
were the cause of much merriment
upon the part OF the spectators. At
times he balanced on two legs OF one
side, again on two legs Of opposite
sides. Now he advances slowly and
majestically, and now he wheels In
circles in the sand on the floor of
the aquarium. and now for q few
moments he stands as If transAxed
in this unnatural position. An cleo
trio light hung above and to one side
Of the water, which suggested the pos
sibility that 1t might be the exciting
cause. It was turned out, and still
the dance went on, and the Joy was
unconflned. At last. from sheer ex-
haustion. he sinks down to the sand in
his usual attitude.
OBut now the female. who had all this
time remained tucked away In the
y, -
about the aquarium; soon she comes
near to ths male crab. when instantly
he rises to his feet and begins TO dance.
Again and again the performance is
repeated and each time the approach
Of the female is the signal for the male
to rear high upon his hind feet. and to
reel about the aquarium as II intoxi.

would be doing injustice to felony to
liken him to a criminal condemned to
death. He looks like wretch con-
demned to life-the Wandering Jew,
for example. If you meet him even in
the sunshine, you seem to feel Whit
as from an iceberg as he glides by. In
society he is a perfect kill-joy. You
can not laugh with him, for he never
laughs; and you can no more
laugh at him than at a gob-
lin. II he ever had emotions,
they were frozen in him years
ago, past all hope of thaw. His voice
is a sepulchral monotone, and his
speech is always Of coming i'll. Things
are never at the worst with him.
Every passing misfortune bears a mir
ror in its hand "that shows him many
more" The raven that croaked the
fate Of Duncan was sky-lark to him.
He is gloomier than railroad tunnel,
and greater bore. l

fulness are one and indivisible, and
that all lachrymose individuals are
deficient in pluck and backbone. To

A Curiass of Human Skin.

An officer of the marine infantry,
who commanded the penitentiary of
St. Mary la Comte, in New French
Guiana, lately died of diseases con-
tracted at that insalubrious station.
The inventory of the objects he left be-
hind him comprised a very curious
cu.rass, with straps and other accesso-
ries. On examination it proved to be
of human skin. A convict had died
whose breast was covered with ex-
tremely beautiful tattooing. The COM
mandant of the station knew this. and
had the man tlayed before he was buried
For moment it was thought that this
human relic would have been put up
up FOR auction with the officers other
effects, but fortunately, it occurred to
somebody that it was rather too DIS
gushing. 1t was known that the
officer had worn the cuirass several
times when fencing with his comrades.

ROMANCE OF SCIENCE.
How n Plant Necessary to Electrical Prog
ress Was Discovered.

The discovery by Mr.. Edison of the
present form of incandescent light, be-
gan with series of experiments on
various substances to find material
suitable for the loop. This was the
chief problem the Wizard of Menlo
Park" had to contend with, and he
made a series of most costly expert
ments before he decided upon the car
bon tilament. which is the horseshoe
shaped loop seen inside the pear
shaped glass globe of the incandescent
lamp. Thread loops and tiny card
board horseshoes were charred into
carbon for the loop, and found to some
degree suitable; but Mr.. Edison finally
concluded that the fiber of certain
kind of bamboo was the best substance
for the carbon tilament. To obtain
this, one of his assistants, Mr.. Frank
MCGOWAN, travelled to and through the
unbroken forests of South America.
The recital of his adventures sounds
like IL romantic legend. He encount-
cred all sorts of dangers from wild
beasts, predatory bands of Indians.
and the ravages of tropical fever; and
after traversing the continent from
ocean to ocean, fording rivers, wading
swamps and scaling the Cordilleras.
he has finally returned with a varied
stock of fibrous material, which will
be applied to experimental work. The
adventures of this champion of science
were. for the year he was away, more
thrilling than those of the knights Of

maiden or STAY some monster, dared

WHEN LANGUAGE FAILS.

There is an hour when language fails,
When speech is powerless to imparE
The depth OF ief and wretchedness
That aguates the heart;
The lips are closed in dumb despair;
sna low on the face appears;
And through the silence breaks alone
The eloquence OF tears.
There is an hour when language fails
To tell the joy that stirs the blood,
And sends it rushing through the veins
Like to spring time flood;
Tears for the mastery contend.
And wrestle at the gates awhile.
But gadness triumphs in the end
With its expressive smile.
o more than words are smiles and tears,
And signs shat from the heart deep well
Arise, and to the attentive ear
Their tale OF sorrow tell;
For as, when shaken by the storm,
Each flower its perfume sweet exhales
So does the sympathetic heart
Respond when langua:s fails.

Woodworking Men Who Are Paid Thirty
Cents Day.
A farmer'may be hired by the year
for from eight to fourteen dollars. with
food, clothing, head-shaving and to-
bacco Those who work by the day
receive from eight to ten cents, with
monday meal. At the planting and
harvesting of rice, wages are from ten
to twenty cents a day, with five meals;
or thirty cents "a day without food.
Few landowners hire hands, except
for few days during the planting and
harvesting of rice. Those who have
more land than they and their sons can
till, lease it to their neighbors.
Much land is held on leases given by
ancient proprietors to clansmen whose
descendants now till it, paying from
seven to fourteen dollars worth of rice
annually for its use.
Food averages little more than dol
lar month for each member of a
farmers family. One who buys,
cooks and eats his meals alone. spends
from one and half to two dollars a
month upon the raw material and fuel.
Two pounds of rice, costing three and
a half cents, with reiishes of salt fish,
picked cabbage, cheap vegetables and
fruits, costing a cent and half, is the
ordinary allowance to each laborer for
each day. Abernethy's advice to
luxurious patient, olive on sixpence a
day and earn it." is followed by nearly
every Chinaman. One or two depend
ent relatives frequently share with
him the sixpence. NJ. Fielde, in
Popular Science Monthly.
