Steel Rails in CITY strccts.

In some of the cities of Europe the
plan has been tried of laying steel rails
along the streets for the wheels of
heavy trucks and hauling wagons. The
model rail is broad and fiat, being q
foot wide and thrce-fourths of an inch
thick. Shallow grooves run along its
length. These rails save the terrible
wear of street paving that is caused by
heavy-laden wagons. They are great
relief to horses. BY them team which
draws only eight tons is enabled to con-
vey thirty-two tons. The rails are fat
with the street, and can be easily
crossed. With such track rs this
the roar and thunder of numbering
street wagons would subside. The csti-
mated cost for this country is ten thou
sand dollars mile for two tracks.
Only districts in which the heaviest
hauling is done would require the rails.

The most recent successful spcctacu
lar play, The Bottom Of the Sea-" will
DO presented at tho Opera House to-
night. The piece is decided novelty,
and it's production i'll other cities has
attracted crowds. 1t is said TO be one
OF the most marvellous scenic plays of
this generation, and to SAVIOR Of the
weird imaginativeness Of Jules Verne.
Tho scenes arc said to be artistic and
mechanical triumphs in their way,
presented with surprising elaboration
OF detail. An ocean steamer. tho laying
OF submarine cable tho wreck of Il
vessel, and the rescue of the passengers
are all wildly pictured. The helght OF
this sensational realism is shown in the
descent of divers TO tie dark, unfath-
omed caves of ocean, the repairing of
broken cable, and an attack on the
divers by an enormous octopus. Tho
company presenting t. piece is said TO
be good, and a fine production through
out is promised.

4 HINT for Bathers.

1.-The undcrtow at the seashore is al
ways the terror of bathers," saws a
swimming professor. "a little advice
will help many person easily out of n
dangerous place. The bather should
keep cool, lie as fat on his back as nos
sible and wait for wave. With the
wave he should make vigorous stroke
for shore, and then lie still and level
again until another wave will help him.
In this way he can make the sea cheat

TEARS OF a DEER.
Description OF the ..Tcnr-pits" In tho
Animals Eye.

AIcscrirtlon Oh inc ''Iciir-i'ttS' In tho
Animals Eye.
In most species of deer, hollow
which is known to scientists as the
lachrymal sinus, or tcar-pit, is found.
1t is a cavity beneath each eye, capable
of being opened at pleasure, in which
waxy substance of IL peculiar, dis
agreeable odor is secrctcd. This pit is
sometimes very small, but often Of con-
siderable size. Poets speak of the deer
weeping, but it has not been shown this
is not by poetic license solely. In the
case of the wounded stag, which the
contemplative Jaqucs watched and NOR
allied upon, it is said:
The big round tears
Courscd one another down his innocent nose
In piteous chase"
But this is Shakespcarc's poetical in
depreciation of the appearance pre-
sented by the motion of the glistcninr
edges of the folds Of skin which enclose
the so-callcd ''tcar-pits." These cavi-
ties are very marked in species of deer
found in Asia and the islands of the In
dian ocean and in the common deer or
America and Europe. In some varieties
in South America and Northern Asia
they are less developed.

FEELING IN AN AMPUTATEnsr FOOT.
The Old Story Has Sufficient Population
in Scientific Fact.

The Old Story Has Sufficient FoYndation
in Scientific Fact.
Many consider the idea that man can
feel pain In an amputated limb as super.
stitious absurdity, says DR.. William Waldo
in the st. Louis Globe Democrat, but this
opinion is mistake. All the sensations
that an injury to q foot would occasion, for
instance, may be felt by one whose foot is
amputated. There is q good physiological
reason for this in the fact that masy of the
nerves that furnish communication between
the brain are not injured in their activity
by the amputation of their lower portion,
and convey sensation as readily as ever.
The brain fails to recognize the fact that
the function OF the nerve has changed, and
that the part in which 1t formerly termi.
mated exists no longer. Therefore, when
sensation is felt conveyed by a nerve that
in the unnamed body led to the foot, the
feeling is the same as il the foot was still in
place. If certain neryes in an amputated
leg be touched the feeling is exactly the
same as it the foot was touched, and the SEN
sation of pain is felt, not where it is ap-
piled, but where the mind has been in the
habit of receiving Communication from the
nerve in question.

neral strong squaIl chased her from her
place OF watch; for days the. weather held
uncertain and outrageous, and ere seven
nights were up she had desisted and returned
to sleep in her low root
u Why She Abandoned Her Vigil.
That she should be at the pains of return
ing for SO short visit to solitary house
that this borderer OF the grave should fear a
little wind and wet blanket-filled me at
the time with musings. Icould not say she
was Indifferent; she was SO far beyond me il
experience that the court of my criticism
waived Jurisdiction; but forged excuses,
telling myself she had perhaps little to
lament, perhaps suffered much, perhaps un-
derstood nothing. And 10! in tie whole
affair there was no question whether of ten
derness or piety, and the sturdy return of
this old remnant was mark either of un.
common sense or Of uncommon fortitude.
Yet one thing had occurred that partly set
me on the trail. have said the funeral
passed much as at home. But when all was
over, when we were trooping In decent
silence from the graveyard gate and down
the path to the settlement, sudden inbreak
of a different spirit startled and perhaps dis
mayed us. Two people walked not far apart
in our procession, my friend, Mr.. Donat-
Donat- Rimaratl. "Donat the much handed"
acting Vice-Resident, present ruler of the
archipelago, by far the man OF chief I'M
portance on the scene, but known besides
for one of an unshakable good temper; and
a certain comely, strapping young Paumo-
tuan woman. the comeliest on the isle-not
(ler US hope) the bravest or the most polite.
OF sudden, ere yet the gravest silence of
the funeral was broken, she made leap at
the Resident, with pointed finger, shrleked
q few words, and fell back again with laugh
ter, not q natural mirth. "What did she
say to youf" asked. "She did not speak

good sister, as she went away through the
darkness. She needed NO light in the
familiar way to her cell.
Beatrice searched among her numerous
belongings. and at last brought out writ
ing case. Then she sat down to her'table
by the light of the lamp that had illumin-
sted so many strange sights that night.
She wrote the name of the convent clearly
upon the paper, and then wrote plain
message in the fewest possible words. Some
thing of her strong, devoted nature showed
itself in her handwriting.
Beatrice Varanger begs that Keyork Ara
bian will meet her in the parlor Of the con-
vent as soon after receiving this as possible.
The matter is very i'm portant"
She had reasons of her own for believing
that Keyork had not forgotten her in the
five years or more since they had been in
Egypt together. Apart from the fact that
his memory had always been surprisingly
good, he had at that time professed the most
unbounded admiration for her, and she re-
membered with smile his quaint devotion,
his fantastic courtesy and his gnome-like
attempts at grace.
She folded the note, to wait for the ad-
dress which she could not ascertain until
the morning. She could do nothing more.
1t was nearly Q o'clock, and there was evil
IDENTIFY nothing to be done but to sleep.
As she laid her head upon her pillow Q
few minutes later she was amazed at her
own calm. Strong natures, in great tests,
often surprise themselves more than they
surprise others. Others see the results, al
WAYS simpler in proportion as they are
greater. But the actors themselves alone
know how hard the great and simple can
seem. N...
Beatrice's calmness was not only Of the
outward kind at the present moment. She
felt that she was alone in the world and that
she had taken her life into her own hands.
Fate had lent her the clew of her happiness
at last, and she would hold it firmly to the
end. 1t would be time enough, then, TO
open the foodgates. It would have been
unlike her to dwell long upon the thought
of Unorna, or to give way to any passionate
outbreak of hatred. Why should not
Unorna love him? The whole world loved
him, and small wonder. She feared no
rival.
But he was near her now. Her heart
leaped as she realized how very near he
might well be. then sank again to its calm
beating.
He had been near her a score Of times in
the last years, and yet they had not met.
But she had not been free. then. as she was

Sounds of the ,IunrIe.

and the strange sounds of the jungles,

the cost will be considerably less.
