PhoIas. the She'll Miner

The pholas, a small species of bivalve
shell having the remarkable faculty of
boring into the hardest rock, is one of the
greatest wonders known to the concholo-
gist. Great blocks of granite and marble
that have fallen overheard or been sunk in
foundered vessels have been found wears
afterward completely honeycombed bv
these curious little borers, they themselves
being impriso ned in the cavity, obtaining
their food from the water that flowed in
and ont. Many explanations have been
giveL as to the method by which they
bore into such extremely hard rocks. The
shell is known to contain aragonite, and
some suppose that constant friction ena-
bles the shell to subdue the rock
Others, again, are of the opinion that
the shell secretes some corrosive fluid
which dissolves the rock and enables the
creature to bore its hole. Some of the
most interesting samples of its work
known to the scientists may be seen in the
pillars of the Temple of Serapis, Italy.
There the land became submerged long
enough for the shell to do its curious work
After a lapse of ages the land has now
risen, and the holes with their empty shell
are plainly to be seen, the marble pillars
being completely permeated by them.
These and other exhibitions of its work
have caused pholas to be called 'tthe shell
MINER" and, curiously enough, it is fur
nished with lamp, a rich blue white light
that shines over the entire body. Some re-
markable experiments have been made
with the shells of pholas.-St. Louis Re
nuhlic

1t. Joe, in his intoxication, when the train
was in full speed, tried to pass around from
one seat to another and fell and was
crushed.
Under the lantern, as Joe lay bleeding
his life away on tine grass, he said to his
comratlc: John, that was a bad business,
your taking me away from church; it was
very bad business. You ought not TO
have done that, John. l want you TO tell
the boys tomorrow when you see them
that rum and Sabbath breaking did this
for me. And john while you are telling
them will be in hell, and it will be your
fault" Is it not time for me to pull out
from the great organ of Gods word, with
many banks of keys, the tremolo stops

Nothing New Under tho SUN.

When the phonograph was invented by
Mr.. Edison we fancied that we had at last
disproved the old Scriptural saying. 'Sure-
ly," we said. 1.-The phonograph at least is
new" We imagined that nothing like it
had ever been dreamed of before. But
there is where we were wrong again.
Something almost exactly like it was in
vented when Edison was barely out of his
cradle, and more or less dim premonitions
of the modern marvel haunted the minds
of men centuries ago. In the year 1859 the
famous Able Migne read a paper before
the British association describing an in
strument called a ''phonautograph,' - which
had but a short time before been invented
by young Frenchman, M. E. L. Scott.
This instrument was still in the rough,
however. and the abbe went on to explain
that while it was fairly successful with
musical sounds, the human voice presented
certain difficulties. Nevertheless he had
little doubt that eventually the phonau-
tograph would register for future genera
tions not only the words but the very tones
of famous actors and orators.-St. Louis
Republic.

Music for the Use of the Public.

Librarian w. A. Bardwell, of the Brook
lyn library, teEs me that the new music
department of that institution is very lib
orally patronized. The experiment of cir
culating music like ordinary books has
met with general approval, and few classes
of books, except fiction, are in such con-
stant request.
The department now contains 1,1Oo vol
umes. 1t was materially strengthened
during the summer when Mr.. Paul It'd
den, well known musician of Brooklyn.
went to Europe in the interest of the library
and purchased over GOO volumes of classical
music. Mr.. Bardwell says that a large
part of the music is in constant circulation
among the members. 1t is all classical
music, and as some of the pieces are quite
expensive the pianists are not slow to take
advantage of their opportunities. Mr.
Bardwen has recently received numerous
letters from librarians in different parts of
the country asking for information with a
view to adding a similar department. to
their respective institutions York

church holds the balance of power in
America; and if Christian people-the
men and the women who profess to love
the Lord Jesus Christ and to love purity
and to be the sworn enemies of all unclean-
ness and debauchery and sin-if all such
would march side by side and shoulder to
shoulder, this evil would soon be over
thrown. Think of three hundred thou
sand churches and Sunday schools in
Christendom marching shoulder to shoul
deri How very short time it would take
them to put down this evil, if all the
churches of God, transatlantic and cisat
lantic, were armed on this subject?

was entering for divine worship. A friend
passing along the street said, sJoe, come
along with me; am going down to Coney
Island and we'll have a gay Sunday
"No," replied Joe; 'tI have started to go
here to church, and am going to attend
service here" "Oh, Joe," his friend said,
'.you can go to church any timel The day
is bright, and we'll go to Coney Island, and
we'll have a splendid time" The tempta-
ton was too strong, and the twain went &c

and riot. The evening train started up
from Brighton. The young men were on

Philadelphia and called at the United
States mint for the purpose of re-
ceiving from the government $4,000
for two gold bricks that he purchased
for SO, 500 a few days ago from a
stranger who visited his town. a
simple test by the mint assayer re-
vealed that Mr.. Appleman's bricks
were u firSt-class article of brass, with
no trace of gold about them save u
thin wash on the surface. After Mr..
Appleman had in a measure recov-
cred from the intelligence that he
had paid $500 for about 80 worth
of brass, he told the following story
of how he had been taken in: Apple
man said that man giving his name
as Joseph Parker had appeared in his
village few days ago and soon struck
up all acquaintance with him. Park
er told him that he had couple of
gold bricks that he would like TO sell,
as he was badly in need of cash. APP
pleman at first declined to become a
purchaser, but another man. claiming
to be an assayer at the Philadelphia
mint, appeared upon the scene and
tested the bricks and said they were
pure gold and worth fully $4,000,
Appleman consented to buy them and
gave the swindlers So, 500.
