Auroras Forty Miles High.

The scientists of the Royal Danish
ao&demy have made public the results
6f some interesting experiments, which
were conducted for the sole purpose of
ascertaining the exact, or at any rate
the approximate, height of the aurora
borealis. At Godthaab NJ. Adam Paul
sen, with two theodolites situated only
four miles apart, found that the height
OF different auroral displays varied from
one to forty miles! Near Cape Fare
we'll, with base line of three-fourths
of mile in length, the best calcula-
tions obtainable placed different aurorie
at from one to ten miles in height; at
Spitzbergen it was shown that they
range from q height of one-third of
mile to eighteen miles.
In this case it will not prove uninter-
esting to mention some Of the remark
Bile opinions entertained by the early ex-
perimenters in this line. Flogel esti-
mated the height of the various aurora
observed by him at from 80 to $40 miles
above the earth; Reimann found that
one observed by him was at least 500
miles high, and Nordenskjold's earlier
deductions gave such phenomena an av-
erage height of 125 miles. Then Leem-
strome came forward with the announce
ment that he had taken notes and Oh
servations on an auroral display that
was not separated from the earth by
more than LOCO feet, while Hildebrand-
son concurred to the extent of declaring
that many of the displays were below
the clouds.-St. Louis Republic.

The Doctor and His Patient.

DR.. P enjoys a very large practice,
and hardly finds time to take his much
needed rest.
One day DIR. p, who had company
to dinner, sat quietly chatting in cor
ner Of the drawing room, when he was
told that Il patient had come to sec him
who was strongly recommended by
some fellow practitioners. The doctor
submitted with bad grace and stepped
into his surgery.
Oar physician was in the habit of es-
ccrtaining the condition of the patient
by asking him to count, and generally
stopped him at thirty or thirty five
quite long enough for the purpose. This
time also Dr.. p asked his patient to
count. Time passed on, and the guests
began to feel alarmed at his protracted
absence. One of them opened the sur
gerry door. DR.. P had gone to sleep
in his armchair, and the patient had
counted up to s, S,642.-Matin.

PATHS WoNDRoUs WARDROBE.
Her Collection OF EmcraIds Puts to Shame
the Majority of Royal Gems.

Her Collection Of Emeralds Puts to Sh anne
the Majority of Royal Gems.
PATHS wardrobe is something that
fashion writers rave over. At every
performance she Of course wears the
newest concert costume. In the opera
that follows she wears the dress regui-
site for the part she plays. The concert
costumes arc the productions of the first
Partisan milliner, and one may be sure
that the willy milliner, getting an order
from Patti, would exert himself for this
queen of song as he would for no crowned
head.
Her jewels are the most elaborate
worn by any woman outside of royalty,
and even royalty's gems fade before her
matchless collection of emeralds. In
some concerts Nine. Patti wears COS
tune of pink and silver brocade, over
which is worn a delicate green satin de
imperatrice. With this costume she
wears a dog collar of emeralds set with
diamonds, bouquet of roses made of
diamonds and emeralds completely COW
ering the front of her bodice. Also a
tiara, garniture and comb Of emeralds
and diamonds. This bit Of jeweled ornac
ment is said to be worth over $50, 900. It
is peculiarity Of PATHS that she will
wear nothing in the way Of decoration
but what is absolutely real.
The jewel box and jewels in Faust"
are her own, and the pearls are positively
real. Her courier, whenever she sings,
is on the stage, waits for madame in the
wings and accompanies her from the
stage 10 the dressing room-that is, when
her careful husband, Signor Nicolini, is
not around. He is very careful of his
precious wife, and she is never ON the
stage but that he is an intent observer of
everything that is going on.
PATHS passion, of course, is her appear
ance before the public. She is one of
those creatures who, without the excite
ment of public applause, could hardly
exist. The applause of the public is
positively meat ard drink for her.
There is no debutante more eager to
know whether she has done well than is
Patti at this day. She comes off the
stage smiling and pleased.
uer eyes sparkle, and the first thing
she asks her husband is: "Well, was
that good? Listen how pleased they

the darling of the public's heart, she is
in an ecstasy of pleasure, and for the
next performance she is all the more
eager to do her best. 1t is this wonder
full desire to be at her best that upholds
her il her magnificent art.
There are few people who have
achieved the fortune, the fame and the
great notoriety that Patti has who would
deny themselves the many human priv
ileges that she docs merely to preserve
her voice and to be able to maintain the
matchless charm of her art.
At every hotel where rooms are en-
gagged for herself special stipulation is
made and rooms selected for her servants
as well. The price is never an object.
Nine. Patti and suite generally occupy
about ten rooms and q parlor III every
city in which she sings. She gives two
concerts week, and never travels on
the day she sings. She requires perfect
rest and refuses to speak to any one on
the day of a concert.-Spare Moments.

Chinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac-
tice of surgery differs considerably from
that in vogue in less enlightened west
ern countries. Bone getting in the Co
lestial empire is a complicated affair, and
doubtless much more efficacious than
European methods. In setting frac-
tared limb the surgeon does not attempt
to bring the bones together, but merely
wraps the limb in red clay, inserting
some strips of bamboo into the clay.
These strips are swathed in bandages,
and in the outer bandage the head of
live chicken is placed. Here comes in
the superior science of the Celestial.
After the bandage has been secured the
fowl is beheaded and it's blood is al
lowed to penetrate the fracture, for it
nour1shes the fractured limb and is
cheap good medicine. London Hos

A Successful Fuse.
A couple Of thirsty fellows who had
been loafng all the forenoon on the
quays at Stockholm were struck with a
brilliant idea. They borrowed an old
brandy keg and half filed it with water.
Then one of them slung it ON his shoul-
der and toon it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had been
sent by one of the shippers in port to
have the kcg filed with brandy.
'.The captain is sorry he only got it
half full yesterday and thinks it would
be better to have it filled to the top
The keg was accordingly held under
the tap till it was full, and the fellow
hoisted it ON his shoulder, but as he was
about to walk off with it he was stop
ped by the clerk, who demanded pay
ment for the spirits.

The Grain crops

The Cincinnati Price Current of Thurs
| day says: The week now closed began with
a severe decline in temperature in the
West, and hard freezing, with subsequent
thawing and again hard freezings-loy
temperature prevailing during most of the
week. This condition has naturally led to
apprehension, and reports of damage to the
growing wheat crop, much of which is in a
backward condition Of growth, and thus
generally regarded as peculiarly suscepti-
bic to the conditions recently existing. II
IS reasonable to consider that the weather
the past week has been preiudicial TO the
crop, but to what extent actual injury has
resulted cannot be determined vet
feature of the week has been the gov
eminent statement of stocks of wheat and
corn in farmers hands. In the instance of
wheat the exhibit implies somewhat larger
stocks than generally counted on by the
trade-out in the comparison with a year
ago the exhibit is misleading, as is shown
IN another article. The estimate last year
was unquestonably largely below the facts.
Under influence of the government ex-
hlblt and various other causes the wheat
market has weakened, and dropped to a
lower point than any time previously dur
ing the crop year. Speculative interest has
become discouraged, and this has more or
less aggravated the present situation. The
outlook is as bsclouded as at any previous
time during the season.
The report of stocks of corn in farmers
hands makes showing largely in excess of
the popular thought, based on calculations
as to depletion of supplies through early
consumption OF this seasons crop The |
popular view has been more or less at
fault The exhibit shows 3IS,OOO, 900 |
