Explorers generally give to their dis
coveries names which carry with them a
decided flavor of home and nationality.

big trees of Yosemite valley figure in En-
glish books under he title OF Giant Well

Giant Washingtons." In New Guinea and
the surrounding islands the English and
Germans are mixing up the nomenclature
in IA fashion that is at the same time con
fusing and ludicrous. The Germans have
renamed many islands east of New Guinea
which since their discovery years age had
borne names given to them by the English
men who found them. Looking northeast
through their glasses while ago some En-
glish explorers on New Guinea mountain

named Gladstone and Disraeli. A while

An easy trick is that of discovering a
given card. One method of doing it is to
deal the cards into three packs, face up
ward, and request spectator to note a
card and remember in which heap it is.
When you have dealt twenty-one cards
throw the rest aside, these not being re
quired in the trick. Ask in which heap
the chosen card is, and placing that heap
between the other two deal again as be-
fore. Again ask the question, place the
heap indicated in the middle, and deal
again third time. Note particularly the
fourth or middle card Of each heap, as one
of those three cards will be the card
thought Of. Ask for the last time in which
heap the chosen card now is, when you
may be certain that it is the card which
you noted as being the middle card of that
heap.
This same result can be produced with
any number of cards, so long as such mum
Der is odd and IA multiple of three The
middle card in the last heap indicated will
always be the chosen card.

Wealthy Brazilians in Paris.

People generally visit Paris to spend
money and "have a good time" enjoying
the distractions Of that famous capital.
For long period the american colony
composed of people from the United States
has borne the palm for extravaganza.
But now the crown of notoriety has passed
to the Braziians, who are declared To form
the largest and richest foreign group in the
French metropolis. Its members appear
to be all mllionaires; they are said never

the early history of Alexandria, it was said:

galleries like the National and Royal.
There was n banking quarter similar TO

feet apart, two feet in diameter and thirty

In November, 1869, he was elected to the
Maryland Legislature, was reelected in
1871 and chosen speaker of the house, in
which position he demonstrated that par
liamentary law was his great speciality. In
1919 he was elected to the state senate and
served four years. In January, 1880, he
was elected United States senator, as sue

he usually wins is what interests his ad-

SCIENTIFIC WORKS SOUGHT.

Annual Meeting of the Pittsburg Library
Association-A Decrease in Membership
Many New Books Added-A Recon-
mendation to Increase the Number Of
Technical Works.
The annual meeting of the Pittsburg Ii
brary Association was held last evening In
be Hall. There was sparse attendance OF
members and the business executed OF
routine nature.
The Librarians report showed an increase
in the number of volumes of l,506. bringing up
the total to %, 1856. The number includes the
William Thaw Alcove collection of ], ,OoO books
Twelve thousand seven hundred and ninety
three volumes were drawn from the library
during the year. One hundred and forty new
members were added during the year, but lo6
were withdrawn or removed by change OF res
idence or death. showing falling of in mem
oership OF 40 for the year. Miss McCram, the
librarian, in her report says:
Il consider this past year the most satisfactory
IN library work since my connection with the
institution. The character of the books going
out daily to many homes, tho agreeable con-
nection maintained with the various classes In
literature, conducted by Miss killikelly. Miss
Lsech, Miss Mcdonald and others, has been a
source of qualification, showing. as it does, the
increase in the number using the library Tor
serious study, which is, of course, the really
important work of a library such as ours. The
good work done by these classes. studying
special periods Of history, these Tourist
Journey and Query Clubs is perhaps bet
ter known to the librarian, whose advice and
assistance is naturally asked, than to anyone
else. Light literature will always be in de-
mand, because people seek amusement and
reiet from The cares and anxietles of life"
Miss McCrum refers to the increasing useful
ness of the Carnegie Alcove, and remarks on
the Importance of having scientific and tech
meal works up to the latest issue. Mr.. Car
negie's donation comprised works which were
fully up to that time, and now suggestion
has been made to add to the value of the COL
lection by adding the more recent works. The
books in the alcoye were much used during the
year and highly appreciated.
The Treasurer's report shows the expendi-
lures for the year to have been S.. $40 80, with
balance of 1897 OF in the treasury. In this sum
is included the 50. 600 invested under the Thaw
bequesi. The Brewer fund shows a balance on
hand of SOS 81
