A Bright Female Poet.

A Boston girl whose verses were always
declined with thanks" hit upon a unique
scheme for having them published. She
would send line or verse from one of
her poems to the query column of some
paper and ask from what poem such a line
came, the name of the poem and that of
the author. A FRIEND also a rhymester,
would send the querist's own poem to the
paper with the desired information, and of
course it would appear in print The quer-
rist would do the same for her friend, and
so on, until between them they had most

A New PharOlight.

An Italian journal describes a new
pharolight, which is said to be IS powerful
as the electric light, and the efficiency of
which is not impaired by fog as is the case
with the latter. A clockwork arrange
ment pours every thirty seconds ten cent?
grams of powdered magnesium into the
flame of round wick lamp, producing an
extremely brilliant flash of light. The
weight of the apparatus being only about
six and a half pounds, it can readily be
used for signaling purposes at sea.-New

George " as an Artists YIodel.

In the room known as the Waterloo
chamber hangs the fine full length portrait
of George ~ in his coronation robes, by
Sir Thomas Lawrence. His majesty GER
tainly made bad king, bad husband and
a bad father, but he makes an admirable
picture. He knew how to 'pose" to per-
fection, how to show up the symmetry of
his very handsome legs in their snowy
silken hose and how to turn his head SO as
to present the best points in his profile to
the spectators. l imagine that the voca-
tion of an artists Model was what he was
best fitted for by nature.-Cor. Philadel-

From me Boston Trans Tig,
In connection with the geological
examination between Grade and Pola,
some curious Investigations have re.
Gently been carried on, regarding which
Dr. NinceDz Hilber reports in the PRO.
ceCdings Of lhe Austrian Imperial
Academy Of Sciences and in the "Traus.
actions of the Geographical Society Of
Vienna Ccuidlng 10 these Communi-
cations, local fishermen know Of q place
20 the south Of the R1vigno Light house
where their nets ret euianclcd In sub.
maine walls and bring up fragments Of
them. a diver some years ago reported
having seen there, at the bottom Of the
sea- walls and streets, and the site IS
looked upon as that where The lost city
Of Cissa had stood. AZ the beginning
OF the present year, az the instigstou OF
The h8rbOr captain ROyi1uo aud Rear
Admiral Hinkc, an examination Of the
place was made by n diver. who subsc.
Qutut'y made the following affidavit.
con reaching the bottom | found myself
upon remains Of OyCrthrown walls, after
examining which ! arrived at the con.
clusion that they had been parts Of
buildings.
Being a mason by trade, was able 10
make OUt the layers OF mortar Ou pro
CCCdiug along The spot ! Observed con.
tinucus rows Of walls ard streets /
could rot see doors and window open

tllld up by gravel, seave,d urd other

tNHCtly was The existence Of regular

farther, because the afr pipe an safety

,Naminc The wall further on account

From MY observations gained the I'm
preston that The existing heap OF ruins

tlo opinion tha, a town had here hcen
submerged by some catastrophe. Win
The exception uf loose stone, which must
have fUmcd part of q wall, 7 could not

could not bring ont anything through

conclusive That a. the mace named a

has been submerged Dr. ililber states
that % further examination, connected
with blasting and the raising Ol mate
rial is probable, Should these works
hc carried out the question may hc solved
whether these ruins ore those Of the old
