Will the Earth Fall to Pieces?

Professor Jones, the English scientist
and other "F. r. S. ""L. b. AS and
"B. c. DIS" are discussing the dangers
our American gas well drillers are sub
jecting the whole population of the
world to by tapping natures great gas
retorts. Jones thinks the earth gigan-
tic balloon, held up, in part at least, by
internal heat and gases, and believes
that continual drain on natures great
gas main will eventually exhaust the
supply and cause the earth's crust to
break in and perhaps fall into millions
of pieces as it collapses prior to falling
through space everlasting. 1t is reason
able to suppose that there is some founda
ton for the alarm this prophet has been
sounding for the past two years. The
steady belching forth of millions of feet
of gas every hour IN the day is surely
causing great vacuum somewhere not
far beneath the surface. That the COM
parative thin archway over this fast
emptying cavern is more than likely to.
break and cause great havoc on the sur.
face there is but little doubt.-St. Louis
Republic.

/ remember the first time I ever
climbed into an iceboat. It was near
Saugerties, on the Hudson, about thirty
years ago. Three other passengers were
there, too, but was the only novice. I
was horribly afraid of air holes, for
had heard great deal about them. See
ing one about fifty yards in front of US,
and directly in our track, ! nervously
drew the steerman's attention to it.
"Do you think am blindr he replied,
angrily, for I had bothered him that
way once or twice before. A second
later he shouted, "Hold on, all!' aud 1.
who had not held on fast enough, as the
boat spun away on another course, was
shot out of the craft and went sliding
along over the ice at wonderful rate OK
speed. There was splash, and felt
the water close over my head. thought
we were all lost, for, in my fright and
confusion, had not noticed that I had
left the iceboat, but when I rose, splut-
tering, to the surface, I saw my COM
panions 200 feet away, and quite safe.
1t was who was in the air hole, and I
was there alone.
It was quarter of an hour before I
was fished out, half drowned and two
thirds frozen. Since that day / have
never attempted to offer suggestions to
the steersman, but have devoted my at
tention exclusively to my own business,
and chiefly to holding on when he tells
me.--New York Sun.

Tinted Papar.

Mrs. East, the wife Of an English pa.
per maker, happens to drop bluing bag
which she holds in her hands into q vat
Of pulp. She is frightened and says
nothing about the accident; her husband
storms when he finds that the paper has
peculiar tinge, but the astonished
workman can throw no light upon the
matter. Thereupon he sends the paper
to London with instructions that It be
closed out at any price. The public,
however, accept 1t as purposed novelty.
II becomes the rage; order7 pour in for
more Of the same sort. The wife con-
fesses, the husband forgives her-and
well he may, for his fortune is made.
This is the very simple origin Of tinted
paper. Illustrated American.

A Vexine Question.

There can be only SO many drivers, SO
many clerks, SO many statesmen, SO many
young lads in offices. The end of that
employment tether is very soon reached,
and the rest, what are they to do? and
what are we, their guardians and their
teachers, to do for them? Nothing is
more wearing upon thoughtful nature
than the recognition of its inability to-
answer with common sense the question.
"What would you advise me to do!" 1t
occurs and recurs daily. and daily the
heavy foot of disappointment descends
the stairs, walks upon the hardened
pavements, whose stones are less hard
than the hearts of ordinary men toward
their fellows.-Howard in New York

faction Of the Court.
At trial in the court Of kings bench
az to an alleged piracy Of the "Old Eng
lish Gentleman" one of the first wit
nesses put into the box was Cooke.
.sNow, sir" said Sir James Scarlett in
his cross-examination Of Cooke, "you say
that the two melodies are identical, but
diffesent. What am to understand by
that, sir?"
"What I said," replied Cooke, Twas
that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with q different accent
the one being in common while the
other is IN triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is different
in tho two copies"
..What is a musical accentr Sir James
fippantly inquired.
''My terms for teaching music are
guinea lesson," said Cooke, much to
the merriment Of the court.
II do not want to know your terms for
teaching" said the counsel, ~ want you
to explain to his lordship and the jury
what is musical accent" Sir James
waxed wroth. "Can you see it3" he
continued.
"No," was the answer.
"Can you feel it?"
"Well," Cooke drawled out, ga mu-
sician can" After an appeal to the
Judge the examining counsel again put
the question. "Will you explain to his
lordship and the jury-who are supposed
to know nothing about music--the mean
ing Of what you call accentw
.'Musical accent" rejoined Cooke, sis
emphasis laid on certain note just in
the same manner as you would lay stress
on any word when speaking in order to
make yourself better understood. Twill
give you an illustration, Sir James. If
were to say you are q donkey, the ac-
cent rests on donkey; but If instead
said you are donkey it rests ON you,
Sir James, and have no doubt that the
gentlemen of the jury will corroborate
me in this" The story is more personal
than polite - nevertheless, it Is well
worth telling as an instance of forcible
illustration. It is useful, too, since it may
serve to impress upon the minds OF that
very large circle of people who plume
themselves on being musical some fain
notion of what accent in music really Is

A Whaling Experience.

Some Of the experiences of whaling
sre not pleasant to remember. One e.
pecislly is impressed upon my memory:
I was bow oarsman in boat fastened to
q big sperm whale. The line was going
out SO fast that the harpooner was pour
ing water on it, and he turned to me
and handed me thevbup, saying, "give
me some water" I dipped it overheard
and turned to give it to him. To my
horror, he was gone; not a man saw him
60 over, and not sound did he make.
The rope in some way took turn about
his leg, and he was jerked over 90 quick
that he no doubt never knew whist hust
him.-Letter in Philadelphia Times.
