Improved Chair for Theatres.

To the theatre managers of this
country is commended Il new form of
chair for use in theatres, music halls,
etc, which is now being introduced into
England. This chair is already in use
in several theatres in Germany, and is
intended not only to prevent panic in
case of fire, ctc., by enabling the audi
ence to gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
of the theatres ard members of the audi
ence to move with freedom from one
place to another.
For this purpose the seat and back Of
the chair are free to move, and are con
nected suitably together, SO that by
means of counterbalance weight a
More touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move Simultaneous
ly on hinges to Il vertical position, the
seat by raising and tho back by lower
ing, thereby allowing free passage along
OF through the tiers. The very idea of
such n device, when the absurd amount
of Inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up Wis
ions of comfort and pleasure which it
seems hard to believe will ever be real

Noble Tree Planters.

read u very interesting statement re-
Gently that the three late dukes of Athole
planted i'll their lifetime 14,OOQ, 900 larch
trees on their estates. The writer who
made this statement seemed to doubt the
fact on the ground that he imagined that
their graces did so with their own hands,
which would necessitate each of them
planting 200 trees a day for sixty years.
When, however, a man is said to "plant"
an estate it does not any more mean that
he does SO personally than, when it is
said that man furnishes" a house, he
makes his own cabinets and tables, or
puts down his own carpets-though our
grandfathers and grandmothers, as often
as not, actually did the latter, as we'll as
good souls! sewing the various strips
of carpets together.
If, however, it comes to planting trees
with ones own hands, there is still some
thing to be said. Charles II planted
nearly all tho trees in the avenue at
Windsor with his, and some that are
now in st. James park; and George Iii
had mania for planting his own trees,
as we'll as innumerable grape vines. Her
present majesty has planted over 5000
trees in various places she has visited,
and the Prince of Wales cannot be very
far behind her in also doing so.-Galig-
nani's Messenger.

A 1.-Two Chess Tournament.

The living chess tournament which
was held at st. Leonard's in aid of the
funds of the Mems Help society was a
curious sight, the floor of Royal Concert
hall being for the time converted into a
huge chess board, while the gallery was
reserved for spectators. The Hon. Regi-
nald Capell and Mr.. Shadforth Boyer
We're the players and were well matched,
each side scoring win. AS you watched
the figures moving over the board you
felt as if you We're realizing the dream
of Alice in her travels on the other side
of the looking glass, though The Tudor
dresses were certainly more graceful
than those worn by Alice's dream friends,
and the White Queen did not seem to
have lost single pin, while her Red Ma
jesty moved with a charming smile on
her face.
The pawns were played by children,
and admirably they acted their parts,
though it must have been dull for those
who were never moved during the game.
Two ushers in court suits fetched the
"pieces" that were taken, and when the
w Meo $Suoeu WAS Cohou prisoner several
other white captives came to escort Her
Majesty off the board. Among the
''pieces" were Lord and Lady Brassey ~
the Red King and Queen, the Hon.
Muriel and the Hon. Marie Brassey rs
the Red King and Queens Rocks, the
Lady Beatrice Capell as the Red Queens
Bishop, and the Hon. T. Brassey rs the
Red Kings Knight. while on the white
side Miss Forbes and Capt. Gaskell were
the King and Queen, and Baron Won
Roemer the Queens Knight.-London

A Clever Collie.

T. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often made valua-
bic studies in Cumberland, at places
where Scotch drovers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had chance to see illustra-
tions of an animals intelligence, as we'll
as of its physical perfection.
One day, when there was pouring
rain, Il man consented to sit for Inc at
the inn where I was staying. He
brought his collie with him, and both of
them were dripping wet, so he put off
his plaid and laid it on the floor by the
dog.
I made II very successful sketch of the
man, but before I had finished it the dog
grew fidgety with the wet plaid, and his
master said, "Tak' it ava. mon. TAX it
awa'!'
The dog took the end of it between his
teeth and dragged it out of the room.
After had finished the drovers por-
trait asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for time, as l wished
to sketch him.
"Oh, yes, mon," he answered, "he'll
do anything l say TO him. Watch!
Watch" he called, and then "whustled"
for him, as the Scotch say.
AS the dog did not appear, we went to-
gether to look for him, and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end of the plaid in his mouth, holding it
up to dry. l expressed my admiration
Of his intelligence, and the master re-
piled:
"Ah, he's canny creature, sir! He
knows mony things, docs that dog, sir.
But come AVA, mon, the gentleman
wants to max your picture"
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait

Ben Frnnklin.s "stick. ("

Mr.. Fergus, who has the old woodcut
Of Gen. Grant, has another and curious
memento of other days. 1t is a printer
stick, which was presented to Mr.. Fer
gus when he was at work at the case in
London. It differs from the stick used
by printers of the present day in that it
is not SO deep by nearly one-half, and
can be broken SO that two measures can
be "set' in it at once. It was used in
setting type for boolswork.
81 brought it to this country with me, I"
said Mr. Fergus, "and one day 1 missed
it. went around among some of the
Offices, and one night found it on the
case of a German printer. I told him
it was my stick and he gave it up.

A Weird Phenomenon.

Capt. Carrie, of the British ship Way
farer, which arrived in Oakland, CAL, a
few days ago, 1874 days from Antwerp,
reports weird phenomenon on the night
of Nov. 12. The Wayfarer was then in
latitude So deg. 80 min. south, longi-
tude 65 deg. 90 min. west. It had
been blowing several days, but with
nightfall the air became perfectly calm
and tho sea as smooth as glass. Over
head tho sky was as black as ink from
the dense masses of heavy clouds, and
with the barometer at %. so a rain storm
was looked for. The expected down.
pour did not occur, but instead the sea
glowed with phosphorescence beyond
anything the Oldest mariner had ever
seen.
The ships surroundings were lit up so
that it was possible to read on deck.
Nobody cared much for reading, how
ever; the contrast between the light
from the sea and the inky clouds was SO
grewsome that all hands could not help
feeling that some unnatural catastrophe
was about to occur. The crew were
much relieved when breeze dissipated
the clouds, and the phosphorescence dis
appeared at the same time.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Canine Fidelity,

We are wont to regard the dog as the
perfect embodiment of fidelity, and on
the whole the good opinion of his char
acter has been justified. The saying of
the German pessimist that he would
cease to believe in truth but for the as
surancc of his dogs eye is striking
tribute to the species. But even Ouida
herself, one supposes, would hardly
claim this excellence for every member
of the canine family. We are apt to
forget that the instinct of attachment
was developed comparatively late in the
history of the species. The dog is by
nature unattached and vagrant, and only
becomes attached and faithful by an in-
fusion of human grace. Hence the conf
cal spectacle ono sometimes sees in the
streets-a well meaning but misguided
youth attempting to keep a loosely in
clined pup close to his heels. And not
few members of the species appear to
remain in this unregenerate state in
mature years.-Cornhill Magazine.

MIR. Kan.ler,s Strange Am,ctton,

Mr.. Jacob Kanzler, a we'll known bus
mess man of Sandusky, is the victim
of a most peculiar affliction which baf-
fles medical skill. Saturday night he
retired at the usual hour in full posses
sion of all his faculties. When he awoke
he found he could not speak, his vocal
organs refusing absolutely to perform
their usual functions. Finding that he
could not utter word, he attempted to
write what he could not speak, but his
hand refused to trace the words upon
the paper.
He moves about us usual, having per-
fcct control over his lower limbs and
likewise over his hands until he attempts
to use the latter to give expression on
paper to his thoughts, and then they fail
him completely. His mind is as bright
and clear apparently Us ever. He under
stands all that is going on about his
home and place of business, but lacks
the power to express himself in any
manner. Mr.. Kanzler is about 55 years
of age and hale and hearty. His afflic.
ton is not paralysis or any kindred all
ment. just what it is, however, is a
poser to the medical men who have seen
him. 1t is believed to be the only case
ever llnown.-Cleveland Leader.

ANOTHER FLOOD IN 5000 YEARS.
a Prediction That the Ocean Will Sub
merge the Northern Continent.

"a 4 ECuAGtAOu 1habt Ihc OC00u Will SuD.
merge the Northern Continent.
The map of the world, as geographers
have outlined it, shows that there is q
vast preponderance of land north of the
equator. Humboldt estimated that Asia
stands at an average height of 1,15O feet
above the level of the ocean; South
America, 1,130; North America, 75O;
Europe, G70 feet. The average height of
all the land above the sea level-o,nit-
ting Africa and Australia, which are
mostly south of the equator-is about
92O feet. The landed surface of the
northern hemisphere is about 44.G0O, 600
square miles; that of the southern hemi-
sphere about 100000 to 10000, 900
square miles, leaving difference of say
$4,000, 900 square miles of land of an av-
erage height of 92O feet above the sea
level.
But as there is the same visible excess
Of water ON the southern side that there
is of land on the northern, and as the
depth of the seas is about the same, it
follows that the weight of the excess of
submerged land in the northern he1nis-
phere must be added to the $4,000, 600
square miles, doubling the height of it.,
making the landed surface of the north
ern at least 1870 feet above the average
surface of the southern hemisphere, both
its continents and ocean depths. What
is there south of the equator to balance
this enormous weight? There must be
something or the earth would not main
tain its poise.
If there was nothing, water level in
that region would be impossible. Pro-
fessor Merriman believed that the bal
ancing weight might be found in that
100000 square miles of unexplored re-
gion lying within tho antarctic circle. If
it does exist there in the shape of ice, as
all scientists believe it does, these i'm
mcnse mountains of ice must necessarily
be of an average of over two and half
miles to make the southern hemisphere
equal i'll weight to the northern.
But this state of things cannot ALWAYS
exist. At present the sun fingers eight
days longer in the northern than it does in
the southern hemisphere. This is owing
to the earths third motion, that of slow
wabbling on its axis. This caused it to
approach nearest the sun on Dec. 81,
1913, and it will approach equally near
on July 81 of the year 1174S. We of the
northern hemisphere will then be in the
midst of a terrible winter, providing the
whole of the land north of the equator
has not been submerged; but there is
good reason for believing that North
America, Europe and Asia will then all
be under water.
This terrible catastrophe will be
brought about in this way: The south
ern hemisphere will then receive 40 per
cent. more heat and light than it does
now. This will melt the great ice ac-
cumulations at tine south pole. One
mile of that supposed two and half, If
melted, would raise the sea level at the
north pole about 800 feet, at London $50
feet, at New York 200 feet. When all
of it should melt the waters would stand
500 feet deep on the top of Lake Superior,
and wash the base of the Rocky mount
aims throughout their entire length.-St.
Louis Republic.

Neverin any other country has change
in the political dominion been followed
so promptly by SO marvellous an increase
of wealth and population, of productive
industry and general intelligence. Never
did a province repay new masters more
literally for their trouble in its acquisi-
ton, nor did any other conquered terri
tory ever receive greater benefit from
conquest. Tho most notable instances
in history of triumphant invasions re-
warded with great sums of precious
metal were those of Babylonia by Cyrus,
of Persia by Alexander, of Mexico by
Cortez, and of Peru by Pizarro-all pop
ulous empires, with wealth accumulated
through centuries of prosperity. Yet
not one of them yielded to its conquerors,
within generation, so much treasure as
did desolate California to the Americans.

a1ent That Is Poisoned.

II am going To tell you one thing that
is very important, and that is that every
pain which any animal suffers just be.
fore dying poisons the meat, said George
T. Angel, president for the Massachu-
setts Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals, in an address to the chill
dren of the Boston public schools and
published in Our Dumb Animals.
eff you wound bird and don't kill it,
every minute its meat is growing worse.
elf you catch an animal in steel trap,
every minute it stays there its meat is
growing worse.
"Some hunters will not cat the meat of
deer that has been run and worried by
dogs, but only of those which have been
killed by what is called still hunting
that is, which are shot and killed, and
so don't suffer much before they die.
And so it is in transportation and
slaughtering-all suffering just before
death poisons the meat

The Rat and tho Swan.

During dreadful storm, when the
river Tyne had flooded the country all
around, a number of people were assem-
bled, watching the hugo masses Of hay
swept along in its rapid course. At
length u swan came in sight, struggling
sometimes for land and at others sailing
in its stately manner along with the tor
rent. AS it drew near black spot was
observed on its snowy plumage, which
the spectators were astonished to find
was a living rat; and it is probable it
had been borne from its dwelling in
some hay rick, and, seeing the swan,
had hastened to it for refuge. On the
bird arriving on land the rat leaped off
its back and scampered away, but a man
having no respect for the sagacity which
the rat had displayed killed it with a
blow of his staf.-New York Mail and

Its related of Signor Bagagiolo, whose
big bass voice used to sound sonorously
at Covent Garden few years ago, that
once when he was supposed to be repre-
senting the king in "Hamlet" he was
urged by an intelligent stage manager to
exhibit some signs of terror. He de-
clined on the ground that it would be
undignifed in king to be afraid of any
thing, and continued to comport himself
with wooden stolidity which, as his
explanation seemed to show, was intend
ed for regal bearing. On the operatic
stage there are not {. few vocalists with
no more idea of interpreting character
than was possessed by the good humored
bass, and there is reason to believe that
tor this cause good many regular visi.
tors TO the opera houses have but very
faint idea of the plots Of many well
known works.-Saturday Review.
