The Earl of Stradbroke arrived on

young man who hasn't figured much

himself in the Cunard pier shed. By
some mistake one Of his large trunks
was placed in the 80" section of the
pier instead Of the 81 section. The
customs inspector who was attending
to the trunks of the los" would not
examine the earl's trunk and told him
that it would have to go over to the
50 section.
The earl was in hurry and there
was nobody around to carry his trunk

Railway Stations in Germany.

At the railway stations in Prussia there
is evidence of the military feeling that
pervades the country. At large stations
the officials are in brilliant, soldierly uni
form, and at small ones when a train
passes, even without stopping, a switch
man or subordinate appears in front Of
the building, salutes the flying carriages
and then stands erect, feet close together,
his stick or staff of Office poised perpen-
dicularly against his shoulder in true
military style. In Berlin and other Ger
man and Saxon cities, when you drive
in cab or public vehicle to a rail-
way station you pay the driver before
you start, or on the way to the station.
He is not allowed to wait at the station.
The moment he sets down his passenger

The Number of the stnrs.

The total number of stars one can see
vii depend very largely upon the clear
ness of the atmosphere and the keenness
Of the eye. There are in the whole ce-
lestial sphere about 5000 stars visible to
an ordinarily good eye. Of these, how
ever, we can never see more than frac-
ton at any one time, because a half of
the sphere is always below the horizon.
If we could see a star in the horizon as
easily as in the zenith, a half of the
whole number, OF 5000, would be visi-
BILE on any clear night. But stars near
the horizon are seen through so great a
thickness Of atmosphere as greatly to OBJ
scure their light, and only the brightest
ones can there be seen. As a result of
this observation, it is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can be taken in at SIN
gle view 10y any ordinary eye. About
1000 other stars are SO near the South
pole that they never rise in ourJlatitude.
Hence, out of 5000 supposed to be visi.
bic, only 1000 ever come within range
of our vision, unless we make a journey
towards the equator. E. 5.

A New Seanan's Io~

Official trials of a new form of log
have recently been made on board some
of the French torpedo boats. The log is
made of bronze, OF cylindro-conical form,
and weighs about 5.5 pounds. 1t is pro-
vided with hollow tube running down
its center, which is connected by a can
vas covered india rubber tube to a pres
sure gauge on board. When the ship is
under weigh the flow Of the water past
the log establishes a partial vacuum in
the tube and causes the pointer of the
pressure gauge to move over its dial
which is graduated to give the speed Of
the vessel from four up to twenty-five
knots. Detroit Free Press.

EARLY AUTUMN.

Through shimmering mists the warm light drifts,
Sleepiy over the dun, wet fields,
Where the sumach burns, and the wild rose lifts
Its pale sweet face mid the Odorous gifts
That the golden harvest yields.
There's moan from the heart Of the waving pine
Wind tossed by the creeks dim shore,
And hint of death on the purpling vine,
Though still in the shadowy dingles shine
The violets that autumn bore.
In the cool, gray light of the day spring fair,
Ere the skies take on their blue,
strange wild beauty the woodlands wear
Where the sedges sway in the scented air,
glitter with silver dew
TIL the day, with its sumhrous, purple glow,
wonderful splendor weaves
On the hazy fields when the soft winds blow,
And the fading rose with its heart of snow
For the vanishing summer grievesl

In attempting to decide as to when an
artesian well will succeed this general
principle must be borne in mind: Water
that falls on the earth's surface either
flows off in rills and streams, or cvapor-
ates, or sinks into the earth That which
sinks flows downward until it meets a
non-porous stratum; it follows the sur
face OF this, still downward and onward.
to break out at the base Of some ravine
or slope as a spring. or to fill some hid
den reservoir. When, as it sometimes
happens, the reservoir is large, its pres
sure forces springs to the surface, far
out in the valley, or even out at sea. At
the foot Of canyons and in the lower levels
of small valleys it is always reasonable to
bore for artesian water, but first, the
fountain head must be higher; second,
the surface water dips toward the well :;
third, the porous and non-porous strata
must alternate.
The ordinary diagrams of artesian
basins are insufficient, for they make the
supply appear in narrow veins, which is
more rare. The real artesian basin is
best illustrated by pile of saucers with
porous paper placed between them. The
water fills between and rises to the rim.
The nearer the center of a basin well
is the deeper it has to extend to strike
water. Artesian wells are not always
flowing wells
Thousand Of wells that are rightly
called artesian briz7the water from deep
strata nearly to the surface, but require
some pumping. The ideal well is, of
course, the flowing well, delivering its
supply like fountain at the surface or
higher. Once put down, an artesian
well is, OF course, complete and requires
no further expense to run it and nothing
for repairs. II. Shinn in Over
