Shcridan'S Courteous Care.

To show the care and interest that
General Sheridan took in the welfare of
his command and his attention to the
little details which few general officers
would take the trouble to bother them
selves WITH Mir. Evans made note of
the following; Il was riding along about
the middle of the column one day, after
we had started from Camp Supply, on
the way to Fort Cobb, when a soldier,
as | supposed, Of the regulars, came
alongside of me and entered into a con-
versation. | was Il mere boy, and that
fact perhaps enlisted his sympathies.
We chattcd quite a long time, and
finally noticing the manner in which
my saddle blanket was folded, he sug-
gested that it would injure my horse
that he would soon have a sore back
that might he d flicuit TO cure under the
circumstances we We're compelled to
meet | continued to ride with it folded
that way, saying rather inditferentlv,
that | knew there was a proper way to
fold it. He then said that if l would
dismount he would show me that
"proper way" Accordingly, at the
KIND Suggestion, L ulSlhOunl'u, he Scl-
ting off his horse at the same time, and
stood by and watched him unsaddle
my animal, take the blanket and fold
it in the regulation manner, then place
the saddle back on the horse. Then we
mounted and rode on, arriving at head
quarters in short time. There ! dis
covered. to my amazement, that my
whilom groom of an hour before was the
lieutenant general of the army, the
famous General Sheri Ian. | had never
seen him before we met in this cordial
way, and | guess my establishment was
plainly visible on my youthful features,
as | gazed with wonder and admiration
upon him when | heard the officers call
him General Sheridan, and saw them
salute him with the utmost respect

Eetrnthed by Cable.

An incident OF an interesting and
somewhat romantic nature arose out of
the visit of the British farmer delegates
to Canada. Mr. II. Simmons, of Wok-
ingham England, found at Moosomin,
n. w. T., a bachelor friend Of his who
has been settled in the territories for
some years and has done we'll Mr.
Simmons was so delighted with the sur
roundings at Moosomin that he pur-
chased the section adjoining his friends
farm.
A daughter of Mr.. Simmons is engaged
to be married to a young Surrey farmer
the happy event being fixed to take plac.
Immediately upon Mr. Simmons's return
to England. 1t was the intention of the
young couple to proceed to Australia to
settle, hut Mr.. Simmons cabled them of
his land purchase, and intimated that he
desired his son in law to locate upon the
property at Moosomin. The reply was
promptly flashed back that they would
do so.
1t appears, however, that Mr.. Simmons
has another unmarried daughter, and the
Moosomin man suggested that to make
the little family arrangement complete
this lady should become his wife and the
two families would be living side by
side. Mr.. Simmons confessed that the
arrangement would suit him, but he
could not speak for the young lady.
However, he was urged to send a second
message over the cable. conveying the
offer of marriage and prompt "Yes"
came back.

Every Observer the h avens, who
know by name some of the brightest
stars is familiar with the constellation
called the Great Diprer, visible in the
northern sky through the whole night
anil throughout the year. 1t consists of
seven stars, four in the bowl and three
in the handle. An Interesting discOv-
cry has recently been made by Professor
Pick ring. of tie Harvard University
Observatory, concerning one If the stars
of jhis beautiful group. Niizar is the
name of the star. II is the middle star
in the handle. is OF the second magui-
tude and has attraC ed much attention
ever since men began to study the stars,
because even to the naked eye it is
double. 1t has companion Alcor
plainly visible to Observers endowed
with good visual power. Alcor is of
the fifth magnitude, and is about II
minutes distant from Mizar. The tiny
star seems to be growing brighter for
the Arabians considered it a severe
naked eye test, and it is now compare.
lively easy to detect. The telescope
shows plainly thal Mzar is a double
star, its componcnts being of the third
and fifth magnitudes, the one a brilliant
white, the other a pale emerald The
marvellous discovery is now male that
the larger star of the pair is also double,
the two stars that compose 1t being so
close together that the telescope can not
separate them. The spectrum of a star,
like the solar spectrum, consists of the
seven prin airy colors, crossed by dark
lines These lines form a kind of as
stronomcal alphabet. If the star is
coming toward us, they shift toward the
violet end of the spectrum. If the star
is rrceding they shift toward the red
end. Two stars very near together, hay
ing the same spectrum, can not be dis
tinguisled from a single star as long as
they are at re t. II they revolve round
each other in plane inclined to the line
Of sight, the lines of their spectra will
be single when the stars are i'll conjunc-
ton, and double when they are at elonga-
ton. This is the case with MiZar and
the doubling occurs at intervals of 90
days. Professor Pickering therefore in
suns revolving round each other. He
estimates that tie period of revolution
of each sun about the common center of
gravity is l04 days, and that the maxi.
mum velocity is 100 miles a second.

iiechanical nIemory Y.

A singular instance of the old belief
that what is too quickly learned can not
endure was given me to-day by popu-
lar young actor. Owing to the sudden
illness of a brother actor, who did not
have an under,tudy, my friend had to
prepare himself in few hours for a
part which was long and difficult, but
the actor learned it after a few readings
and played it with accuracy. Immedi-
ately after the performance he forgot
almost every word of it, He was I'M
able to repeat two consecutive sentences
correctly.
The most curious cases of forgetful-
ness | can recall were on the part of a
friend of mine, an old man whose mem

Some experiments have b Ell lately
conducted by the French navy which
will have an important iuti ence on the
future use Of the balloon in time of wa.
A balloon was constructed with ca
pacity Of II, 800 feet, esp cialy for ex-
perimental purposes. 1t was inflated
with hydrogen, which was carried in
reservoirs under pressure of 100 atmos-
pheres. A tail rope 1870 feet long
to connect the balloon with a ship of the
fleet when the balloon was required to
be kept captive for accommodating pur-
poses. 1t was found that on a clear day
all important objects within radius Of
IS to "a miles were clearly distinguished.
Another very important point was
that the waters of the sea, when OBJ
served from considerable altitude,
were found to be singuIarly clear, and
tie details of the b,ttom were in one
of tine ascents perfectly distinguishabIe,
even at depth Of 50 feet. This pecul-
iarity allowed an observer in the balloon
to follow the movements of the sub
marine boat Gymnote, during its recent
trials. without losing sight Of it for a
single moment, whatever its depth of
immersion.
The balloon used on this occasion was
very stoutly constructed, having been
a short time before towed at a speed of
104 knots an hour for a distnuce of 81
knots by torpedo boat, without being

Greatest Piece of Masonry in the M"derI
World.

Near Bombay is being constructed the
greatest piece of solid masonry the
world las seen in modern tim 5. For
years Bombay has been threatened with
4 water famine, and to avoid such Il
possibility the government has under
taken the construction Of huge dam,
designed to inclose the watershed of the
valley, which drains into the 5, south
of Bombay. The gigantic structure is
two miles long, lis feet III height, and
1G3 feet at the base.
The roadway on the top is TO be 81
feet in width. 1t is estimated that thi,
dam will imprison eight square miles of
water, making verital l. lake There
are about 12,C0G 1lindoos employed ON
the dam, which is expected to be com
pleted in March Of next year.

small bodies found either in the mother
ofHpearl shells or in those with a nacre-
Gus lining They are formed either by
a disease, by the presence of parasite,
or by an effort on the part of the mol
lusk to rid itself of some foreign sub
stance which has found its way into the
shell. Pearls are composed of many
layers of carbonate of lime with organic
matter between, are not always entirely
pearly throughout, and invariably have
some small central core OF nucleus.
Round pearls of fine luster and color are
very valuable, and their value increases
rapidly with their size The finest white
pearls are from India, the Persian Gulf
and Panama; the finest black and gray
pearls from the coast of Lower Cali
fornia. Beautiful pink tinted pearls
are often secreted by the common brook
mussels. One valued at over 50 900 was
found near Paterson, n j., in 1856, and
quite a number have been met with in
Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas,
and also in England, Scotland, and Ger
many.
