A Very Queer Satellite.

The satellite nearest to the planet
Jupiter must be singular place of resi-.
dence, If there be any possibility of resi-.
dents at all resembling human beings. In
the first place, though it is bigger than
our moon, the substance of which 1T is
composed is less than half as light as
cork, so that it is not a very solid place
of residence.
In the next place, though the sun ap-
pears very dim from it as compared with
what it appears from the earth, it has a
moon-namely, Jupiter itself - whose
surface appears many hundreds of times
larger than our moon.
In the third place, the recent observa.
tions made of this satellite by Mr.. Bar
nard, in the great Lick Observatory,
make it not improbable that this satel-
lite is really cut in two, and that there
fore there may be two separate little
worlds, probably not separated by any
very great distance 0or the total diane
ter of the two together, if there be two
divisions of the satellite which was al
ways supposed till quite recently to be
single, is not above 2300 miles across),
revolving together through space, some
even of the details of one of which
worlds must be visible from the other.
if there be anything like telescopes on
either half.
If the satellite is not cut in two Mr..
Barnard holds that there must be "a light
belt round it, very like the light belt on
Jupiter itself, and that this light belt
produces the impression of division I'M
der certain circumstances of the orbit.
We may hope that the Lick Observatory
will at length solve the problem. Per-
haps the residents of the two halves of
the planet, if it be in halves, can really
telegraph to each other.-L2ndoa Spec.

Right Kind of Scissors.

One needs many pairs of scissors, and
true economy consists in having pair
for each sort of work. The cutting of
paper is very trying to sharpened steel,
and pair might be kept for that pur-
pose. Long slender shears are handy
for general use: buttonhole scissors could
find place in every work basket; pair
of scissors for trimming lamps in the
kitchen is necessary where there is no
gas; grape scissors for the table are not
altogether new; scissors to cut flowers
in the country are a convenience.
Few people carry pocket scissors of
the folding sort. Those that do never
part with them. Convenient for mani
cure use, to cut a clipping from paper
at moments notice, string, etc., they
answer almost every purpose of the
pocket knife and are much more conven-
lent to handle. Give person accus-
toned to their use a knife and the pocket
scissors and he will part with the former
first. No cutting blade should be put
in the fire, as it will then lose its temper
which is denoted by its turning blue.
Such a knife or blade will never keep
its edge.-Hardlodye

The Chileans are Poor Gunners.

There has been so much talk about
Chile's ability to strike heavy blows in
case of war with the United States that
the results of observations of their work
during the recent trouble will be inter
esting at this time. In the capture of
Valparaiso the Congressionalist squadron
played no part worthy of mention. The
Esmeralda, Cochrane, Aconcagua and
O'Higgins, all armed with heavy Arm.
strong rifed guns, did not attempt to
engage Forts Pratt and Callao at the en-
trance of the harbor, but managed to
keep well out of range. At lquique they
kept five miles out to sea and not a shell
fell in the town.
When Admiral Brown was asked how
Chile compared with America in case OF
war, he laughed and said: "This is the
biggest ship, except the Baltimore and
Warspite, we saw in Chilean waters, and
the Chilean war vessels could not cope
with our vessels.
An officer on the ship who had care
fully observed the operations of the
Chilean vessels said; 81 never saw such
poor gunnery. Why, at 1000 yards l
saw the Cochrane keep up fire on the
fort at Vinda del Mar, and not shot
struck the fort, which, by the way, is a
very extensive work and offers a large
target. When the four Congressional
vessels were fringa at Fort CaIlao the fort
was struck but half dozen times cut Of
800 shots. Nearly every shot and shell
fell short, some Of them as much as half
a mile. All the talk about the Esmer-
aida coming up to San Francisco and
standing out CT the reach of the guns on
the heights back of Fort Point and drop
ping shells in the city is the yariest rub
bish. Her guns have no such range.
"When the San Francisco pTacticed
with her new siX-inch rifles the results
obtained were very satisfactory, and at
the range of 2eOO yards with a fort for a
I'D not have missed a shot. p"

The new Alpine railway, the Brienzer
Rothhornbahn, is the highest railway in
the Alps and commands magnificent
views. 1t is 1851 metres (7S36 feet)
high at the summit level, and ascends
1852 metres C5606 feet or sixty-seven
metres (223 ieeD higher than the Pilatus
Railway. The journey occupies one
hour and half. The gauge is 0S metre.
The line is pure rack k-and- -pinion rail
way on the Abt system, and is similar in
construction to the Monte Generoso Rail
way. The steepest gradient is one in
four-that is, less than the maximum
Pilatus ascent. The railway has been
built in a remarkably short space of time.
1t was begun so recently as the 1st of
October, 1890. No,fewer than ten tun,
nels were bored; numerous stIeamlets
were bridged and heavy stone dams had
to be erected. Boston Transcript.

ingly acknowledge it had been wrong in
its estimate, and shouldered upon Mark
all the faults of his ancestors. But the
facts were strong, and Judge Lennox
found himself confronted by them.
Slowly, for he was not easily convinced,
he took respect into the place of con.
tempt, and, after month of patient in.
vestigation, sent for Mark.
The interview was frank, manly one,
the old gentleman not being given to
half hearted measures of any kind. He
admitted his former prejudices, and
heartily commended the young man who
had struggled so nobly.
"When your new house is finished"
he said, "I will let my Essie be your wife.
A man who can make his way against
wind and tide as you have done, deserves
happy home"
The Judge being power in Maysville
public opinion veered round, as soon as
the engagement was announced.
The new house being completed, Essie
became housekeeper, Mrs. Lamson gladly
resigning her feeble reign. And under
the new regime it was wonderful to see
how even the old people smartened up.
They had no chronic objection to
cleanliness, if someone else did the
necessary work; and with Mark and Essie
to govern and direct, the Llmson house
hold so lost its old name, that you could
scarcely find to-day in Maysville one
voice to repeat the old saying that "Mark
Lamson came of bad stock. "-The Ledger.

Russian Leather.

l lately came across a singular ira
dition about the earliest known manu-.
facture of Russian leather. 1t seems it
was first made in Persia; and there has
never since been any which equaled the
soft texture, the elegance and fexibility,
and the deep, rich, unfading maroon
color of some of the covers of ancient
Persian manuscripts.
There was some secret about the tau
ming, some process which Is among the
lost arts. The tradition is that the hides
were carried TO the tops OF mountains,
and left there to be struck by lightning !
That was the secretl
OF course we are toy understand from
this that exposure to a high atmosphere
had something to do with it, and that
the curing required long time; for
what could be the chance Of their being

The Structure Of Ferns.

When Towering plants usually make
seed, that is generally the last effort of
plant life-the seed is the beginning of
the life of the new plant. Ferns, how
ever, only produce spores for reproduc-
tive purposes. These spores germinate
and go through the same process subse-
quently that flowers go through in the
production of seeds. The spores expand
when the terminating time comes, and
form a fiat, green membrane; what are
then really the flowers appear on this
membrane. AS a general rule, after
these fern flowers have matured, the
membrane dries up and disappears. In
one family of ferns, however, natives of
New Holland, this green blade is per.
msnent and continues to enlarge, be-
coming really a portion of the plant.
Every year a new blade is formed, which
spreads over the old ones. The large
plant is of totally different character,
having the fronds of ordinary ferns. -

Ancient Butterflies.

Near the top of Mount Washington, in
New Hampshire, lives little colony of
very cold-loving ar mountainous butter
flies which never descended below 1000
feet from the wind-swept summit. Ex-
cept just there there, are no more of their
sort anywhere about; and as far as the but
tertlies themselves are aware, no others
of their species exist on earth; they meyer
have seen a single one of their kind save
of their own colony. A writer on "high
life" in the CorndiH Magazine says that
this little colony of chilly insects was
stranded on Mount Washington at the
end Of the glacial period some odd thou
sands of years ago, and the butterflies
dwelt there ever since, generation fol-
lowing generation.

LEFT UNDONE.

It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone,
Which gives you a bit Of headache
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way.
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
The little act of kindness,
So easily out of mind;
Those chances to be Angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and silence
Each chill, reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of headache
At the setting Of the sun.

A woMANs ADIEu.

Our love is donel
would not have it back, say,
would not have my whole year Mayi
But yet for our dead passions sake,
Kiss me once more and strive to make
Our last kiss the supremest one;
For love is done.
Our love is donel
And still my eyes with tears are wet,
Our souls are stirred with vague regret;
We gaze farewell, yet cannot speak,
And firm resolve grows strangely weak,
Though hearts are twain that once were
one,
Since love is done.
But love is donel
l know IL, vow it, and that kiss
Must set finis to our bliss
Yet when felt thy mouth meet mine,
My life again seemed half divine,
Our very hearts together runl
Can love be done?
Can love be done9
Who cares il this be mad or wiser
Trust not my words, but read my eyes.
Thy kiss bade sleeping love awake:
Then take me to thy heart; ahl take
The life that with thine own is one,
Love is not donel

Ice Made bY Natural Gas.

An inventor in Buffalo has devised n
process for making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion of
natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from the
wells. In the experimental plant the
gas is used at its initial pressure of from
$50 TO 200 pounds to drive a small en-
gine. After use in the engine the gas
exhausts into closed box, and the ex-
pansion generates sufficient cold to form
slabs of ice three inches thick to the

A French journalist has recently given
some curious information about the
women who are tempted to steal and
who fall during their shopping expedi.
tions. He says that in Paris no fewer
than four thousand women are caught
every year stealing before the counter.
The number of titled ladies seized with
kleptomauia while examining the ia hions
is almost incredible. Among the most
recent culprits were Russian princess,
French countess, an English duchess,
and the daughter OF a reigning sovereign.
As rule, these more distinguished
offenders are let off on the payment of
round sum for the relief of the poor, and
when the shop-lifter is known to be
rich, the sum exacted rises to as much as
ten thousand francs. The police au.
thorities consent to this sort of condona-
ton,
