AS TO THE HUMMER.

The GLOBE, during the past few
months, has evoked much comment from
the northern and western press, and hun
dreds of letters from would be subscribers
all over the country, have poured in upon
Us. These letters have, many of them,
been wicked, weird and picturesque
letters of commendation and cOndemna-
ton; letters tragic, comic and seriO comic;
letters indignant, solicitous and pro-
phetic-lerters, in fact, which would
cause an ordinarily sane man to question
his own identity and conclude, with an
eminent literary gentleman of France,
that it would have money in his pocket
if he bad never born.
But these elegant and able cOmmuni-
cations nave been, heretofore, in prose
prose that was wall-eyed, hump-backed
and knock kneed, but prose. nevertheless.
And while a desire to end all was
| strong, the impulse was withstood.
But now that some nameless long
haired and h~ook-nosed "son of a veteran
with a thirst for gore, has opened up
upon US with a raging river of relentless
wrath, and has the sublime audacity to
add insult to injury by invading the
sacred precincts of verse, upon which we
hold a patent right, we claim, with Colo
| MEL CICERO, that it is time to call a halt.
The truth is found in the n single
and simple proposition.
We first hear of this peculiar, perape-
! tetic, pOetical cuss in San Francisco, Cali
fornia, and then We find him in the soli-
tudes of Oregon, still writing his wild,
wabbly and wonderful rot.
The only thing upon which we con-
graduate a community which we once
loved, is, that this recherche rhym8ter
knows how to walk. He is getting over
the country and nearer and nearer ap-
proaches the large and tempting tureen
into which he must fall with a dull
and sickening thud. Soup and the
rhymster will gradually assimulate and
when he materializes he will come out
Noodles.
These are his latest:
| Don't trespass on this vacant lot. for if you
do you will rue it;
The Bull is loose and running rOund-be wise
don't try to do it,
! He ganbols freely DER this lot and rules it
like a Boss.
Like all Bull-Headed Durham Bulls he's al
ways On the Toss;
He's apt to jump the fence and stray in pas
lures new,
If he can't keep within his bounds he'll get
into a stew.
| Of late he's shown a liking for chasing DER
the sphere,
This Durham Bull Amt in it with a California
steer.
The Durham Bull, i. e. THE GLoBE-'tis ci:cu-
lated daily.
Although THE GLOBE-it wants the Earth on
which it prances Gaily
With Horns low and tail alOft it rushes up
and down;
Its snorts and b~ellowings are heard all over
Durham town.

write short stories. This assertion is
disprOved by the brilliant October num-
Der Of Romance. 1t is the second in that
magazines series Of special issues, and
more thOn half of its contents are from
the German. Even the French seldom
produce stories equal to Hugo Klein's

classic German stories by Jean Paul

forms a remarkable and interesting illus

Commandant OF the First Battalion, has de-
cided not to put his command through any
street drills. Colonel Smith expects to Or
dor out the entire regiment for several drills
before camp time.
IT looks very much as If the National Rifle
Association, which has maintained the an
nual matches at Creedmoor for the past 10
years, would soortly pass out of existence.
This action will be caused by the New York
guard refusing to allow the use of the ranges
at Creedmoor by the association which
ut one time controlled the grounds and
subsequently turned them over to the guard.
The ranks Of Battery B are full at present,
and no more recruits will be taken in until
after camp, at least. At q meeting Of the
members last Monday night it was decided
to adopt the campaign hat for all fatigue
work, and supply Of them will be ordered
at once. The drills of the battery Of late
have been remarkably well attended, 45 to
80 men each night being present. The bat
terry will turn out mounted on July to take
part in the celebration ceremonies at Schen-
ley Park. Lieutenant Kfmmel, who has
eeen acting as Inspector of Rifle Practice,
reports 20 marksmen and two sharpshooters
as already qualified, with good prospects Of

THE Adjutant Generals Office at Harris
burg Is certainly making great efforts to
economize this yeat in every possible dfrec-
tion, as the funds for military purposes are
remarkably low. and it will take an extra
amount next year to carry the guard to Chi
cago. The tip has been given that small
companies will be appreciated more than
large ones at the coming encampments, as
at least SIS, counting his pay, sustenance and
transportation.
A RE1NsPEcrIoN Of the entire Third Regi-
ment has been ordered by General Snowden
and on the result of the test will depend the
life or death of the organization. The regi-
ment Is said to be in better shape now than
at any time since Colonel Bonoffa was at the
head, so its chances of surviving the trial
are good. Company F, of the Eighteenth,
and Companies and G, OF the Sixth, have
also been named for reinspection, but as yet
no dates have been set for the work. They
will occur, however, before the compa nies
go into camp.

Later Reports From the Disaster at the
BIrkenberg silver Mine Show That That
Number of Lives Were Lost.
PRAGUE, June lowing to the great
excitement that prevailed when it was
known that the fire that broke out on
Tuesday night in the Birkenberg silver
mine, near Prizbram, had caused the
death of a number of miners, many con-
Trajectory statements were made as to
the number of those who had perished.
One of the first reports had it that forty
had been killed. Now, however,
that the excitement has died out to q
great extent and inquiries have been
made among the survivors, it is esti-
mated that fully 400 of the employees
lost their lives in the disaster. Among
those who were killed were five stu
dents from the Mining academy who
were studying the working of the mine
to gain practical knowledge of mining
operations. tr.-.ff '.t...

are greatly hampered in their work. In

fortnight before all the bodies will be

dug in the churchyards, in which the
dead will be buried These trenches
are large enough to hold $50 bodies.

WOMEN AS ASTRONOMERS
"A Field in Which Their Labor Has Bee

a Field In Which Their Labor Has Been
EmInently Successful.
Helen Leah Reed, writing in the New
England Magazine, states that women
of genius, like Caroline Herschell, Maria
Mitchell and Mary SOmerville, have al
ways been welcomed to the ranks of
astronomers, and that the various
European and American observatories
have CT late years employed rot a few
women conputers-
The Harvard college observatory has
been especially sppreciative of the work
of women; not only employing them as
comprters, but definitely encouraging
them to undertake original research
Yet, although there IS field for woman's
work in astrometry, tie so-called old
astronomy, with its problems relating
to TIE positions and motions of the
heavenly bodies, much wider scope is
offered for the work of woman in astro-
physics, the so-called new astronomy.
For in this latter branch of practical
astronomy, photography IS now so
largely used that the observer, magnify
ing glass in hand, can at any hour of
the day study the Photographic plate
with results even more satisfactory
than those formerly obtained by visual
or telescope observations at night. In
the average. observatory, where men
are employed, it is obviously imprac-
ticable for women to engage in night
observing.
The work in which women take part
at the Harvard observatory may be di-
vided INTO three classes:
l. Computing, based on the work OF
others For twenty years some women
have always been included in the corps

to be hoped that other observatOries
may follow this example. As the re-

of astronomy, it may not be too much

lay like silver mirror under the rays
of the full moon. In the midst of this
miniature lake stood an island with
deep PERCEPTIONS sides and crowned
with palm trees, lovely bit of land
scape, the more beautiful after the
gloomy passage of the tortuous, shaded
river.
Already the Malays were leaning over
the side of tie sampan laviDg their
faces in the crystal fluid and drinking
the sweet water from their gourds,
when the Frenchman checked them in
the unutterable bliss of the deep
draughts.
THE waters of the lake are sweet to

''but tainted with the poison of the
stream above. Let US make the island,
where we shall find some spring from
which we can fill our vessels and be
sure that we are not pouring liquid
death down our throats."

Dunbar cried, shading his eyes with his
hand and pointing TO an inlet guarded
by two abrupt rocks which stood as
sentinels to narrow natural harbor.
Without a reply the toiling natives
bent themselves to the task of reaching
the tiny haven, and, when their efforts
had been crowned with success, they
found themselves at the entrance of a
small canyon, scarce three yards wide,
whose sides were walls eff massive
rock nearly fifty feet in height. Cam
pignon whispered caution as they
forced the boat up the stream. Not even
a night bird was disturbed by their
