The Art of Conversation.

So rare is the conversational talent
that, for hundred persons who write
well, we find but one who talks well.
Emerson, who seemed to believe that
possession of the one gift precludes the
other, wrote: 1.-The conditions of literary
success are almost destructive to the
best social power, as they do not leave
the frolic liberty which only can en-
counter companion on the best terms. !"
The authors habit of pausing for retlec-
ton before setting down his thoughts in
black and white might well induce slow
ness of speech; but there is abundant
evidence on both sides of the argument.
Macauley's flow of conversation is pro-
verbal. Sydney Smith called him "the
greatest engine of social oppression in
England" Motley, in one of his letters,
described Macauley as holding the
"ribands of conversation" in his own
hands, and driving wherever it suited
him. 81 can imagine no better fun, he
added, than to have Carlyle and Mac
aulay meet at the same dinner table with
a small company. 1t would be like two
locomotives, each with a long train,
coming against each other at full speed.
Both, l have no doubt, would be smashed
into silence at the first collision. Mac
aulay, however, is not so dogmatic OF so
outrageously absurd as Carlyle, neither
is he half so grotesque or amusing.
When we encounter one who really pos
sesses the gift of speech, it is well
spring of refreshment to the mind. We
can listen for any length of time with
out weariness; for infinite variety is one
of the secrets of such takers charm.
His mind falls from one supple posture
into another We have never moment
of anxiety lest he may not find the right
word at the right instant His thoughts
are his own upon the spur of the moment,
without hesitation, delighting the senses
and inflaming the fancy of the listener.

BacilIi on IA Bald Head.

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
bacillus, called by him bacillus crini-
vorax, which is the cause of alopecia.
1t is, he says, found only on the scalp
of man, other hirsute parts of the body
and also the fur of animals being free
from it. The bacilli invade the hair
follicles and make the hair very brittle,
SO that they break off to the skin Then
the roots themselves are attacked. If
the microbes can be destroyed early in
the disease the vitality of the hairs may
be preserved, but after the follicles are
invaded and all their structures injured
the badness is incurable. The following
is Dr. Saymonne's remedy to prevent
badness: Ten parts crude cod liver oil,
ten parts of the expressed juice of
onions, and five parts of mucilage or the
yelk Of an egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and well rubbed in once week.
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair if the roots are not already
destroyed, but the application of the
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients friends and neighbors. Il Med

Temperature of the Sea.

The thermometer has become useful
instrument in examining the basins into
which the bottom of the sea is divided.
The geography of the sea bottom is de-
termined from the temperature of the
water as readily as it would be by re-
peated soundings When the Challenger
cruised in the water east and southeast
of China several years ago the geography
of the different seas formed by the
groups and chains of islands off that
coast was made out in this way. In the
open Pacific, and in all seas into which
the oceanic currents flow, the tempera-
ture varies from the surface to the
bottom. OF course the deeper water Is
the cooler. If basin be cut off from
this general flow up to within certain
depth from the surface, then the tenn
perature will be found to lower just as
in the ocean, until adepth is reached just
even with the top of the incloslng 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 Celebes Sea
varied until depth of seven hundred
fathoms was reached From that depth
down to more than twenty-five hundred
fathoms there was no perceptlble 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

According to the British Medical
Journal, DR.. Gautrelet, of Vichy, claims
to have discovered method of render
ing tobacco harmless to mouth, heart,
and nerves without detriment to its
aroma. According to him, piece Of
cotton well stepped in a to 10 per cent.
solution of pyrogallic acid inserted in
he pipe or cigar holder will neutralize
any possible ill effects of the nicotine.
IN this way not only may the generally
admitted evils of smoking be prevented,
out cirrhosis of the liver, which is DR..
GautreIet's experience, is sometimes
caused by tobacco, and such lighter pen
alties of over indulgence as headache
and Turing of the tongue, may be
avoided.

Useful Hints.

1t is not generally known that the
easiest way to clean shoes or rubber
overshoes which have become muddy is
with vaseline.
Keep nickle, silver ornaments, and
mounts bright by rubbing with woolen
cloth saturated in spirits of ammonia.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost any thing that can be bought. 1t
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the
gums hard and rosy.
To drive away ants, scrub the shelves
or drawers that they frequent with
strong carbolic soap, after which sprin-
kle red pepper in every crevice
To renovate scratched furniture, dis
solve beeswax in turpentine, making it
of the consistency of molasses; apply
with a wooden cloth, then rub briskly
with a dry piece of flannel. The i'm
movement is wonderful.

Originality Versus Plagiarism.

The writer or thinker who puts an old
idea into new and impressive form is
fully as much of a public benefactor as
the man who invents a new idea. The
man with an absolutely novel idea is a
phenomenon not often seen in history or
literature. All of us are borrowers. If
ideas were refused recognition because
something similar had been proposed
before, there would be a pretty outlook
for progress in civilization. This is as
true in literature as in history. The ust
criterion of literary idea is not whether
it is new, but whether it is ably put and
forcibly developed. Plenty of people
before Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson's day
had reflected upon mans dual nature;
but DR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" wasnone
the less original for that; indeed, one of
the highest tributes which the public can
pay to literary man is the confession
that he has put into clear expression the
ideas which were not original, but which
had f1oated vaguely in the human mind
ever since man began to think. Who in
the long succession of philosophers and
sages ever propounded really new idea?
"There is nothing new under the sun, "
said the Preacher. The originality of
history, philosophy, and literature has
consisted in putting old truths and
aspirations into new forms = New York

TREASURES OF THE YOSEMITE.


a t1Vid description OF one OF the Beauty
Spots of the Earth.
The Yosemite Valley, in the heart of
the Sierra Nevada, is a noble mark for
the traveller, whether tourist, botanist.
geologist, or lover of wilderness pure
and simple. But those who are free may
find the journey a long one, not because
of the miles, for they are not so many
only about $50 from San Francisco, and
passed over by rail and carriage roads
in a day or two-but the way is so beau
tiful that one is beguiled at every step,
and the great golden days and weeks
and months go by uncounted. How
vividly my own first journey to Yosemite
comes to my mind, though made more
than score of years ago, writes John
Muir in the Century, l set out afoot
from Oakland, on the bay of San Fran
cisco, in April. 1t was the bloom time
of the year over all the lowlands and
ranges of the coast; the landscape was
fairly drenched with sunshine, the Iarks
We're singing and the hills were so COW
cred with flowers that they seemed to be
painted. Slow indeed was my progress
through these glorious gardens, the first
of the California flora l had seen. Cat
tie and cultivation were making few
scars as yet, and l wandered enchanted
in long wavering curves, aware now
and then that Yosemite lay to the east
ward and that some time | should find it.
One shining morning, at the head of
the Pacheco Pass, landscape was dis
played that, after all my wanderings,
still appears as the most divinely beauti-
full and sublime l have ever beheld.
There at my feet lay the great central
plain of California, level as lake, 30 or
40 miles wide, 400 long, one rich furred
bed of golden composit8 And along
the eastern shore of this lake of gold
rose tue mighty Sierra, miles in height,
in massive, tranquil grandeur, so glori-
ously colored and so radiant that it
seemed not clothed with light, but
some celestial city. Along the top, and
extending good way down, was a rich
pearl gray belt of snow; then a belt of
blue and dark purple, marking the ex-
tension of the forests; and stretching
along the base of the range broad belt
of rose purple, where lay the miners
gold and the open foothill gardens-all
the colors smoothly blending, making
a wall of light clear as crystal and in
effably fine, yet firm as adamant Then
it seemed to me the Sierra should be
called not the Nevada or Snowy Range,
but the Range of Light. And after 10
years in the midst of it, rejoicing and
wondering, seeing the glorious floods of
light that fill 1.-THE sunbursts of morn
ing among the mountain peaks, the
broad, MONDAY radiance on the crystal
rocks, the flush of the alpenglow, and
the thousand dashing waterfalls with
their marvellous abundance of irised
spray-it still seems to me a range of
light. But no terrestrial beauty may
endure forever. The glory of wildness
has already departed from the great GEN.
tral plain. It's bloom is shed, and so in
part is the bloom of the mountains. In
Yosemite, even under the protection of
the Government, all that is perishable is
vanishing space.
