The wants of the colonists were many; food
they must have, and it seems that they were
determined to fight for peace, also. A wolf
and an Indian were considered "game, and
they were hunted to the bitter end. Now, to
make themselves secure against invasion
and keep up a constant guard on the inroads
OF the enemy, the Pilgrims were put to
their wits ends, and the Bay Colonies, also,
were ever on the alert. There were very

as known to us, that the abysmal ocean bot
tom should ever become subaerial. This is
evident for two reasons. In the first
place the changes now going on, on
the abysmal parts of the ocean, are
entirely different from those occurring
in the shallower waters, and points to no
other condition than they now occupy. Ac-
cording to the Challenger's notings de-
posits are made in the deep sea at so slow a
rate, and so different from anything occur
ring in other parts of the world, that they
really form a new chapter in the worlds
physical history. The deposits made on the
Geep s.a Hoor are compared to the settling of
the dust in q closed up and unoccupied
room. They are composed of the lighter
parts of volcanic products, ashes, scoria
and pumice; these substances, being light,
float long distances ere becoming water
logged and then find their way to these
abysmal depths.
And not an inconsiderable part of what
was brought up by the dredge was found to
be star dust, the remains of meteoric stones,
which were consumed in their headlong
flight through the earth's atmosphere. The
only remains of animals found were the
most 1mperishable parts of vertebrate skele-
tons, such as the teeth of sharks and the ear
bones of whales. "Thus, at depth of 2, $50
fathoms, or about two miles, says Prof.
Gibson, ''the trswl brought up, among

CHAPTER I.
THE WANDERERS,

On certain sunny afternoon in May,
when all the world and his wife were walk
ing or driving in Piccadilly, two figures ap-
peared there who clearly did not belong to
the fashionable crowd. Indeed, so unusual
was their aspect that many swift glance,
shot from carefully impsssive faces, made
furtive scrutiny of them as they passed. One
of the strangers was an old man who might
have been venerable Scandinavian scald
come to life again-a man thick-set and
broad shouldered, with features at once
aquiline and massive, and with flowing hair
and beard almost silver-white. From under
his deeply lined forehead and shaggy eye
brows CLEANED pair of eyes that were
alert and confident as with the audacity of
youth; and the heavy, white mustache and
beard did not quite conceal the cheerful
firmness of the mouth. For the rest, he
wore above his ordinary attire plaid of
shepherds tartan, the ends loosely thrown
over his shoulders.
By his side there walked young girl of
about II, whose singular, if somewhat pen
sive and delicate beauty, could not but have
struck any passerby who happened to catch
sight of her. But she rarely raised her
eyes from the pavement. What was obvi-
Gus to every one was, first of all, the ele-
gance of her walk-which was merely the
natural expression Of perfectly moulded
form; and then the glory of her hair, which
hung free and unrestrsined down her back,
and no doubt added to the youthfulness of
her look. AS to the color of those splendid
masses-well, it was neither fa1en, nor

"You can see very little difference between

last evening. "When I visited Berlin
about two years ago I could easily
have imagined myself in New York

hotels and well appointed restaurants sug-

so largely spoken. 1 heard its familiar sem

there is as great throng and rush in the
commercial centers as on Broadway or
Chestnut street.

THE SILK MACHINE.
Education Has Brought the Silk Worm to q
High Degree of Excellence.

Education Has Brought the silk Worm to a
High Degree of Excellence.
japanese Letter.
An industry of great magnitude in Japan
is silk culture The silk worm is "edu-
Gated" to such degree that it becomes a
mere machine, and its life must be burden
to it. 1t lays its eggs in rows on cards; it
spins its cocoon to order, and finally dies
when required. Silk worm eggs are white
and about the size of the head of large pin,
and they are sold on cards. like buttons.
These egg cards may be kept all winter long
without harm to them, and hatched out in
the warm months. The young worm is an
exceedingly minute and delicate animal,
and the mulberry leaves adopted for its food
have to be chopped up as fine IS possible.
AS the worm grows older the leaves are not
chopped finely, until, when it Is full grown,
it is allowed to enjoy whole mulberry leaf
intact.
This life of dissipation is too much for it,
aud with little encouragement, it seeks
the solitude of its cocoon. The coeoons are
then thrown into hot water, which kills the
larva and disolvss the mucilageous matter
that keeps the cocoon together. A silk
worker deftly finds the end, and in few
moments the poor worms home is about
40 yards of silk fiber on a reel. A few Of
the lave are allowed to come to maturity for
the sake of breeding purposes, and the eggs.
To get out they break hole through the
cocoons. Such cocoons are called pierced,
and from them an inferior qualify of silk is
made.

HIS son owns the San Francisco Examiner

rather be one of quiet party at the card

The-new house into which he has lust

Senator Sawyer is another big farmer of

like 70 miles of wire fence to surround his

rocks and. strange to say, he is having a

of land up above Washington, and has a
