Nohllnr

True worth is IN being not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by-and bye.
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fances Of youth,
There's nothing so kingy as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right;
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice ayenges each slight.
The air for the wing OF the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
We cannot make bargains for blisscs;
Nor catch them, like fishes. in nets;
And sometimes the things our life misses
Help more than the things which We get
For good lieth not in pursuing
Nor gaining Of great nor Of small;
But just in the doing, and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Thro' envy, thro' malice thro hating,
Against the world early and late,
No iot Of our courage abating
Our part is to work and to wait;
And slight Is the sting Of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortune or birth.
&c. X Shetterly, in Detroit Free Press.

The Advantage of a Long Psalm.

Formerly psalm was allowed TO be
sung at the gallows by the culprit, in
case of repiieve. 1t is reported Of
one of the chaplains TO the famous
Montrose that, ''being condemned in
Scotland to die, for attending his mas
ter in some Of his glorious exploits,
and being, upon the ladder, ordered to
give out a psalm, he, expecting a re-
prieye, named the 10th Psalm, and
with which the officers attending the
execution complied, the Scotch Pres
byterians being great psalm-singcrs; !;
and it was well for him that he did so,
for they had sung half through before
the reprieve came; any other psalm
would have hanged him."

Niagara Shallow Above the Falls.

1t is doubtful if any steamer that
runs on the Niagara river, except pos
sibly the small steam yachts, could go
over the falls if it tried. The lake
survey charts give the soundings on
Niagara down to about Fort Day and
from there across. The deepest sound
ing in this line is fifteen feet. Below,
however, as may clearly be seen from
shore, the river shoals a great deal,
and the first breakers, half a mile or
SO above the horseshoe, are at reef
which is almost at the waters surface.
The chances, therefore, of a large
steamer, laden with hundreds of pas
sengers, sailing serencly over the
precipice, are very small. 1t would
be desperately unpleasant, however, to
be on a boat that drifted down and
lodged on the reef, even half a mile
from the great tumble. Buffalo On.

Novel Apparatus for Ship Signaling.

Novel Apparatus for Ship Signaling.
1t is stated that a novel apparatus
for signaling, which has been perfected
in the East and is used on some of the
United States war ships, will shortly
be introduced on this coast. Elec-
tricity is one Of the principal agents in
the apparatus, which may be used for
day or night signaling. 1t consists of
which project four metal frames, two
on a side, each containing two hori-
zontal shutters mounted on axes, so
that they can be rcvolyed. One side
of each pair of shutters is painted yer-
tic lily with Fed and white stripes,
while a white dia nond on dark
ground is on the other side The shut
tcrs represent the alphabet and certain
signals also.
BY causing any shutter to be exposed
by pulling any of system of chains
any letter or word desired may be ex-
posed and flashed. The operator has
in front of him only four levers and a
card upon which the signal code is
printed. Four electric lamps are fixed
on the four corners of the frames.
They are intended to be used for night
signaling and are backed by colored re-
Electors and connected with dynamo.
BY depressing switch its correspond
ing lamp is placed in the circuit and
lighted. On releasing the switch the
light is extinguished. The new. n.G....
cd is calculated to prove wonder full
success. - San Francisco Chronicle.

In the evening she came back, bring

very image of what Susie had been ten

There was great rejoicing at the
Cartwright cottage, and the whole

they felt indignant enough against old
Kate to tar and feather her for abduct-

had disappeared, and was never seen

Collie Stones.

Travellers who have penetrated into
the easternmost parts of southern Rus
sia find some strange beliefs as to the
power of fish charms. Many fish found
in those countries have too small,
hard round bones on the side of the
head. They are believed to have the
power when worn by the owner to
prevent collie, and are termed collie
stones. The more wealthy of the
peasants have collie stones mounted in
gold, and these are worn upon the
neck as valuable addition to a neck
lace.
The bones of the common bullhead
are much used among the Russian peas
ants as a charm against fever. Among
European nations in the middle ages
doctors of medicine had faith that
two bones found in the head of the
tcnch have medicinal virtues. The
bones were applied to the skin in
cases of fever. The tench is a Euro
pean fish, and the United States Fish
Commissioners are endeavoring to in
troduce it to American waters. -

Temperature or the Sea.


The thermometer has become use
ful instrument in examining the basins
into which the bottom of the sea is
divided. The geography of the sea-
bottom is determined from the tenn
peraturc of the water as readily as it
would be by repeated soundings.
When the Challenger cruised in the
waters east and south of China several
years ago, the geography of the differ
cnt seas formed by the groups and
chains of islands of that coast was
made out in this way.
In the open Pacific, and in all seas
into which the oceanic currents flow,
the temperature varies from the sur
face to the bottom. OF course the
deeper water is the cooler.
If basin be cut off from this gem
eral flow up to within a certain depth
from the surface, then the temperature
will be found to lower just as in tho
ocean, until depth is reached just
even with the top of the enclosing
bank or reef. From that point to the
bottom the temperature is found to be
uniform.
Some observations in the waters
named will make this ineligible. 1t
was found that the temperature of the
Cclebes Sea varied until depth of
seven hundred fathoms was reached.
From that depth down to more than
twenty-five hundred fathoms there was
no perceptible change. The walls of
its basin, then, toward the Pacific, rise
to within seven hundred fathoms of
the surface. No colder water than
that of the tropical Pacific at a depth
of seven hundred fathoms was poured
into this basin, and that was the
! temperature that the basin could pre-
serve.
In the Sulu Sea the temperature re-
manned the same from a depth of four
hundred fathoms to the bottom at
more than twenty-five hundred faith
oms. All this body of water was
warmer than that of the Cclebes, be-
cause the rim of its basin coming
nearer the surface, not SO cold water
could flow in from the ocean.
In the MoIucca passage the tempera-
turc of the water decreased gradually
from the surface TO the bottom. This
proves that these waters are not cut off
from the ocean currents by any ridge
toward the Pacific. Youths Com

A Rare Mineral

The State Mining. Bureau received
from the New Almaden Mine, Santa
Clara county, recently, curious speci-
men of pilinite. 1t is in the form of
a thin sheet and closely resembles
sheepskin. From Assistant Mineralo-
gist Schneider it was learned that this
mineral was discovered in Silesia bv
Professor Won Lasanlx in 1876 and is
considered rare. In fact, until short
time ago, specimens of the mineral
were accepted without question as
asbestos. 1t cannot be dissolved bv
any known agency and when fused

takes its name from the Greek pilinos.

Mortuary Gold.

The French scientist, Mr.. Victor
Menner, as the result of careful in
quiries, asserts that American dentists
insert in American teeth, each year. the
enormous amount Of 800 kilogrammcs
(about 1 800 pounds) of the precious
metal, which represents nearly $780,
900. This gold is never recovered, of
course, but it is buried with the per-
son in whose mouth it is placed.
Making allowance for the rapid in
crease of the population of the United
States and for the continued deteri-
oration of American teeth, it appears
that in less than one hundred years the
American cemeteries will contain
larger amount OF ~g0fd than now exists
in France.-[Scientific American.
