MAGNETIC ANOMALY.

The magnetic needle has been acting in
a very energetic manner recently in some
parts of France and Scotland, where its
declination now is twenty to twenty-five
minutes greater than it was a few months
ago, though no change has occurred in the
adjacent regions. Scientific men do not
know how to account for this magnetic
anomaly, unless it indicates that metal
bearing rocks in the depths of the earth
have been displaced by some pro
found geological distur Dances, which
is made apparent at the surface
by these unusual vagaries of the
needle. The theory was long ago ad-
advanced that terrestrial magnetism, if
we could read it Alright, would explain
what is going on in the bowels of the
nth; and in tie connection that geolo.
gists are disposed to trace between the
recent magnetic disturbances and subter-
ranean geology we have another illustra-
ton of the interdependence of the sciences,
a great truth to which Wallace called
attention so wildly when he based con
clusions relating to prehistoric eeologi,

tribution of fauna In the Malayan archi

SELF-COLLLCTED BRIDES

They Seldom Make Mistakes, But the

groom by her side is pale and nervous and
trembling.
The bride very seldom makes any mis-
take, either at the ceremony or at the still
more trying reception afterwards, while
the man is almost always sure to put both
feet in it and then founder about in des-
pair until his better half comes to his res
cue and gives him the first chance to ap-
preciate the advantages of having some
one to take care of him.
During the ceremony the chances for
the groom to make mistakes are not many
The most com mon one for him is to get

the groom calmly announced: annie, |
take thee, Harold, to be my lawful wife "
The bridal party, who were the only ones
who heard it, were convulsed, and even the
stalwart young minister could not repress
twinkle in his eye.
Another much ratified young man, where
when asked if he took the young woman
to be his welded wife, stared nonpulssed
at the minister for fully ten seconds, then

BRAVE MEN IN BATTLE.
