tone that the operator turned with an
amused smile and said:
Il don't believe you love your neigh
Dor Bronson as yourself.
~Can't say that / do" replied the
young man. Then, as though moved
by a sudden impulse, he stepped TO the

ShartT was lying upon his back on
the opposite side of the car, smoking

troubled himself about the affairs of

was so extraordinary that he stopped
smoking, raised himself upon his elbow,
and, after gazing a moment in speech

probably the most favored. There are

For the past two years the German
Government has been making inquiries
into the life, history aud ravages OF one
of the most remarkable worms kno wn to
exist. This wonderful creature, whose
glutlonous appetite is only satisfied after
feed on common steel, was first brought
into general notice by an article IN the
Cologne Gazette in June. 1887.
For some time preceding the publica-
ton OF the account mentioned, the great
est Consideration existed among the en-
gineers employed on the railway at Hagen,
by accidents, which always occurred at
the same place. proving that some terrible
defect must exist either in the material
or the construction of the rails.
The Government became interested
and sent commission to the spot for the
purpose OF maintaining constant watch
at the spot where the accidents, one OF
them attended with loss of life, had oc-
Cured. 1t was not however, until af.er
six months had elapsed, that the surface
of the rails appeared to be corroded, as
IL by acid, to the extent OF over 100
yards.
The rail was taken up and broken,
whereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by thin. thread-like gray
worn. The worm is said to be two cent?
meters in length and about the bigness
OF common knitting needle. 1t is or
light-gray color, and on the head it carries
two little sacs, or glands, filled with
most powerful corrosive secretion, which
Is elected every ten minutes when tha
little demon is lying undisturbed. This
liquid. when squirted upon iron, renders
that metal soft and spongy and of the
color of rust, when it is easily and greed
lily devoured by the little insect. There
is no exaggeration," says the official re-
port, in the assertion that this creature
is one of the most voracious, for it has
devoured thirty-six kilogrammes of rails
in fortnight. ST. Louis Republic.

All Rome was excited Tuesday over the trial OF
Buffalo Bills COW boys on wild hors es furnished
by Duke Sermoneta. For several DAYS the Ro-
man authorities have been experimenting the
erection Of extra barriers 10 keep the savage
steeds from reaching the audience. The AMI
mails come from the dukes famous herd on the
Pontine marshes, and he declared that no COW
boy on earth could ride them. The COW boys
laughed at the boast Then the duke dared
them TO mount any one OF six.
Every man, woman and child in Rome ex-
pected that two or three men would be killed
In the experiment, and over two thousand car
riages were driven TO the scene of the trial and
an audience of two hundred thousand people

and Buffalo Bill announced that they would be
conquered in five minutes. The COW boys
lassoed, saddled, bridled and mounted the
horses. The animals leaped in the air, writbed,

youth and our men and women should have the
but the kind of books they read is no less i'm

vitation and encouragement to read publica-
tions which will improve as well as interest,
there is danger that our people will have in
their hands books whose influence and tendency
are OF negative sort, if not positively bad and
mischievous. Like other good things the abil-
ity and opportunity to read may be so used as
to defeat their benefcent purpose.
