A MISUNDERSTANDING,

Jacks botanical friend, Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, sends him bit of news
about one Of the wistarias-those
large. leaved, climbing shrubs that in
June hang their purplish- blue bios
SONS in great clusters upon frames or
over doorways, or high up on the
front OF houses and cottages. He
found it out this way: Wishing to
keep some seeds of the Chinese wis
taria, he picked q few of the pods that
follow the fall of the flowers in au-
tumn, and laid them upon a mantel-
piece in his warm study. Midwinter
came, and one day the gentleman was
astonished to hear a sharp, crack,
like a tiny pistol shot, and to see one
of the seeds fly across the room, from
its bursting pod on the mantel. 1t
struck against the wall as if trying to
pass through it. He laid the
other pods away in paper, and a
day or two later heard the sharp lit
tie reports made by their Swapping
open. This vine, then, is not content
that it's seeds shall simply fall to the
ground at it's root, and there spring
up luGo CROWN, OuC the pOQS Walt I'M
til they have become so tense, with
drying and shrinking, that they can
hold their edges together at the seam
no longer. Then they fly apart with a
spring that hurls the seeds many
yards, 10 that new vines may spring
up far from the old one. As this
goes on year after year, you can east
ly see how rapidly these wistarias, if
allowed to grow, would spread them
selves over almost any extent OF coun-
try.-St. Nicholas. ., --

CHINESE WITCHCRAFT.
Young Woman Arrested for
BeWitctinR Her Husband.

w O'Iol arrested Tor
BeWitchinR Her Husband,
Students OF folklore will be much
interested in a tale of witchcraft re-
ported by a chinese journal. They
often complain that the inhabitants OF
that vast empire do not contribute
any appreciable share to the records
OF tradition and mythology which
make the whole world kin-not,
probably, because the Chinese do not
possess such, but because we have
not yet collected them, says the
London Standard. The story now
referred to shows that a superstition
which is always found wherever lit is
sought, prevails in China also. A
young woman was arrested for be-
wltching her husband, and the police
searched her house. Under the mattress
OF her bed they found paper in
scribed with the word "Yen," that is
man." and three tigers heads: while
a doll tied up with red and green
strings and some slices OF pork were
found beneath the bed itself. Here,
evidently, we have an instance OF
magic practices Identical with so many
charged and proved all over Europe
in the Middle Ages, still employed by
the red Indians of America, by the
South Sea Islanders, by great
number, if not all African tribes, and
by the inhabitants generally of Hind
oostan. China was the bank in this
world chart hitherto. There are diff
ferences, as we should expect. The
witch writes "man" in scarlet charac-
tiers, just as the redskin makes an
outline OF the figure, while Europeans
executed a model in wax, and Indians
make it Of clay. The slices of pork,
doubtless, were put there to grow
putrid; negroes employ a vegetable
substance, and Europeans used to
melt the wax figure itself. The
notion is the same all through-that
an Individual bewitched will perish
gradually as the object decays.

A Visit to a Lighthouse.

The keeper lived in nice brick
house close to the tower, and also
painted white. Unlocking the tower
door, we began to climb the iron stair
which winds round and round inside
until your head swims. 1t was very
dark Il don't remember any windows
there. Up and up we went, quite
slowly, the keeper leading until the
stairs seemed to run right up against
the ceiling; but the keeper pushed bolt
aside, stepped up one more step, and
flood OF light came down upon us.
He had opened an iron trap door, and
we went up through the opening. 1t
was tight fit, 1 tell you 1 don't
think it could have been more than
eighteen inches square, and I could
just squeeze through.
There we were at last, on the top,
close to the lantern. | can't describe
1T scientifically but it was a beauty.
All OF brass and thick plate glass,
both wonderfully polished. In the
centre was the lamp, which holds two
quarts OF kerosene oil; but the light
uses nearly four quarts every night,
between sunset and sunrise. So,
each night, at about midnight, the
second lamp full of oil has to be set
in place. Think of that, boys! Every
night In the year, at midnight, that
keeper has to get out OF a warm bed,
climb the long stairs, and change the
lamp. 1t may be cold winter
night, the thermometer below zero,
with a furious gale shaking the tower
and driving the spray clear over the
top. No matter; the lamp must be
changed.
The lantern stands about two and
a half feet high, On an iron pedestal
as high, and has clock-work attach
ment, run by a heavy weight, which
hangs halfway down the tower, in a
groove in the wall.
The keeper puts in big key and
turns it once or twice. "Now watch. "
he says; and then slowly, very slowly,
the whole lantern begins to move.
ut turns around once in three
minutes" he says, "and shows flash
each side for q quarter Of minute,
once every half-minute. At that point
to the southeast it shows that red
pane there. That's what we call the
red sector.'
"Why does it?"
'"There is dangerous shoal in that
direction"
So now you will know what a 'sec-
tor is in a lighthouse.
There, is room to walk around the
lantern, but a man six feet high would
have only two inches space above his
tall hat! The sides of the tower here
are thick panes OF beautifully clear
glass, almost half an inch thick; yet
sometimes they are broken. By what
do you think? Why, by Wild ducks
and geese flying against them, dazzled
by the light!
The little room in which we are is
very hot; the bigpanes Of glass around
it cannot be opened, and though there
is a thick yellow shade to each one,
am almost faint with the heat.
So we go down again, through the
little trap-door, into the dark tube OF
the tower, where our footballs ring
hollow on the iron stairs and the cold
white walls. How cool aud refreshing
it is after the little top room! Down
and around we go, until once more
the bottom is reached, and we step
outside on the grass against. Mich

A Lesson In Circulation.

If you place a visiting card or light
screen between you and the flame OF a
candle, and blow On it you will find
that you will not put out the light, as
your breath cannot pass through the
screen, but a curious effect will be pro-
duced-viz., the flames of the candle
will incline towards you, as if blown
by some one in am opposite direction.
Your breath striking the pasteboard
screen has been thrown back toward
you, with sufficient force to carry with
it certain quantity OF air surround
ing the flame, thus enclosing it in a
current of air going in the contrary
direction to your breath.

MINERS ENTOMDED.
Mine Explosion in Wales Causes
Great Loss of Life.
LARGE NUMBER ARE FOUND DEAD.
The Work Of Re,cus Going Bravely on-Ons
Hundred and Fifty Men Entombed- Hope
of Resculug Soms Alive.

LONDON. Aug. GA fearful mine ex-
piosion has occurred at Park Slip coal pit,
near Bridge End, Wales. One hundred
and fifty men are entcnbed, and it is feared
there has been great loss Of life. Not a
single man has yet made his escape. The
work OF clearing the pit has begun with
many hundred volunteers.
In Wales, at 6 o'clock this evening, the
rescuing party came to the surface with
two men whom they found near the bottom
of the pit, both badly burned and uncon-
scious. with little hope of recovery. Shortly
sitter this fire burst forth from the mouth
of the pit. This cut OF al hope, for those
who hrst escaped death nave certainly been
sufocated or burned TO death
LATER.
A large number of rescuers are working
in the Park Slip pit Many have been
hoisled up exhausted. Seven miners found
dead have not yet been brought to the sur
face. AS the workings extend 100 feet, IL
rs hoped that some of the miners will be
rescued alive.
Since yestteday noon, when the knock
ing was heard the searcners have per-
ceived no signs of life anywhere. There
is little DOUBT that 141 miners persisted in
the pit Nearly ali were married and had
families.

Chairman Kilbnrn followed with an ad-

responded with half hours speech. The
president said in part:
I'VE are here today as citizens, not as
partisans, to give expression to those COM
mon inter ests which fortunately for US as a
nation obliterates all party divisions and
makes us people in its defense. We are a
favored nation in the great isolation which
we enjoy. But it must not be supposed
that this separation from the close contact
with the great powers that forever stand
on the category of war has left US without
duties and responsibilities.
I'VE have in q large part complicated our

see no reason why the United States should
not step forward into position of power
