Meerschannn-

Meerschaum is a mineral existing in
many parts of the world. In Europe 1t is
found in Moravia and at Sebastopol and
Kaffa in the Crimea, and in Asia 1t Is
found abundantly and gives employment
to men who mine it. Meerschaum, from
its having been found on the seashore in
some places in peculiarly rounded snow
white Jumps, was ignorantly imagined to
be petrified froth of the sea, which is the
meaning of it's German name. 1t Is COM
posed of silica, magnesia and water. When
first dug from the earth it is quite soft and
soaplike, to the touch, and as it fathers
with water and removes grease, 1t Is en-
ployed by the Turks as substitute for
soap in washing. After being nodded into
pipes these are boiled in oil or wax and
baked until hard.

Mean and Solar Time.

Owing to the inclination of the earth's
axis and its unequal movement in its orbit,
solar days vary IN their length. The av-
erage solar day corresponds to the twenty
four hours of our clocks, which keep what
is called mean time. II a clock were so con-
structed so as to give the real solar time
for all periods of the year, it would be OBJ
served that sometimes when the solar
clock pointed at noon the ordinary clock,
keeping mean time, would be pointing at
figures between HAS and IL, or at other
times between IL and 1915. Four times
each year, however, the two clocks would
coincide, and correct noonmarks can be
made Dec. "a, April Is. June IA and Sept.

THE JOYS OF JUNE.

The Perfect Month, Full Of Everything
Rural, verdurous and Musical.
The gentle spring, ''hoar winters bloom
ing child" has gone away, delicious May
Is in her company, and June, "dight In
thin silken cassock, colored green" re-
joices as the opening month of the man
hood of the year. All the powers of nature
are developed, its vigor is fresh, it is in the
full flush Of beauty, it is buoyant with the
hustle of exuberant life. Each previous
month of the year has formed part OF the
great preparation for the settled purpose
of this fowery time, for on all sides, In
garden, field and grove alike, there have
been operations begun and carried on to
the perfect fullness of the beauty OF the
joy of June.
Summer glow lieth low upon heath, field, wood
and grass,
Here and there in the glare, white, red, gold,
peeps from the place.
Full of Joy laughs the sky, laughs what on the
earth doth rove.
June's fine long days invite the birds to
early song, and so upon the misty morning
air there comes cheerful sound, muir
muir as of waters from the skies and trees
and grass. The lark, ''the herald OF the
MORN" responds with ready lay; and
though sweet Philomela is becoming dumb
and will no longer deign song to charm
the hours of night, host OF others-the
blackcap, the robin, as matter OF course,
and the rest of the summer singers-give
forth their wild and pleasing airs from
bush and brake and bower. There Is call
ing, cooling, wooing, singing all around
High in the groves empowering shade,
For love and contemplation made,
The stockdove pours his melting strain;
Whilst DER the valley, hill and plain,
The blackbird, linnet and the thrush
Make sweetly vocal every bush.
All, heard or seen, our rapture move;
For all Is harmony and love.
Even the innocent young frogs, 80 long
maligned as harmful, having gone through
their wonderful transformations, rejoicing
ly leave the water to leap about, as il in
frolicsome mood, among the grass, while
the older ones "stand at the brink" as
Dante described them. with their jaws
only out" uttering strange jargon, not
altogether unpleasant to the ears. True,
they are called in derision Dutch night
ingales, and have been looked upon as
croakers ever since they "railed at Latona's
twin born progeny" but for all that they
add to the joy of June. 1t is pretty much
as Gilbert White affirmed: Sounds do not
always give us pleasure according to their
sweetness and melody; nor do harsh sounds
always displease. We are more apt to be
captivated or Disguised with the associa-
tions which they promote than with the
notes themselves" So it may be said of
the frog, as the naturalist of Selborne said
of another despised animal, it marvel
ously delights some hearers, filling their
minds with train. of summer ideas of
everything that is rural, verdurous and JOY

Fastest Possible Railroad Time.

An English magazine, The Engineer,
submits statements to prove that eighty
miles an hour is the highest possible speed,
giving the following argument to prove its
points; IAN eminent American authority
says that with a smooth, solid and staple
trackway and improved mechanism there
appears to be no reason why trains may
not attain speed of 100 miles an hour"

Salt Lake is by no means saturated
solution of salt, yet it is five or six times
as rich in salts as the ocean, and nearly
as strong as the Dead sea. In summer
it contains between 90 and % per cent.
of salt, the saturation point not being
reached until the salt forms little over
a third of the liquid. There are all

lakes and ponds, but none of the size

when Hot Springs Were Firs, discovered.
America had been discovered and the
colonies were feeling their way toward
the Pacific ocean In the vanguard was
the famous expedition of Lewis and
Clarke, which went overland to the
mouth Of the River Columbia John
Golfer was hunter in this expedition,
and by. some chance he went across the
mountains on the old trail of the Nez
Perces Indians which leads across the
divide from the Missouri waters to those
of the Columbia.
When he came hack from. the Nez
Perces trail he told most wonderful tales
af what he had seen at the head Of the
Missouri. There were cata<acts Of scald-
ing water which shot straight ND into
the air; there were blue ponds hot enough
10 boil fish; there were springs that came
up snorting and gteaming, and which
would turn trees into stone; the woods
were full Of holes from which issued
streams OF sulphur; there were canyons
OF untold depth with walls Of ashes full
Of holes which let out steam like a loco
motive. and there were springs which
looked peaceful enough, but which at
times would burst like bomb.
Every one laughed at Golfer and his
yarns, and this place was familiarly
known as Golfers He'll" But for once
John Golfer told the truth, and the
truth could not easily be exaggerated
But no one believed him. When others
who afterward followed him over the
Nez Perces trail told the same stories,

The City Of Long branch was only
nine years old, having been built at

was the only vessel of her class--a stern
wheeler-whIch ever piled in New York
waters. She was lS5 feet in length, 30
feet beam and 8 feet dcphth Of hold,
and was built to run between New
York and the Shrewsbury river, New
Jersey, as an opposition boat to the
steamer Helen. When she first ap-
pcarcd she was called the Wilbur i.
lielsley. She was never success, and
after plying on the Shrewsbury route a
few seasons was laid up. In 1888 She was
taken to Philadelphia and was equipped
with machinery and engaged in treas
ure hunting" for short time. She was
sent to New York waters in 1889 and
laid up at keyport, N. j. During 4
heavy gale of wind she was blown
ashore there, where she lay high and
dry for long time. Last spring Sic
was again taken to Philadelphia, and
being a llght-draft boat, attempted IL

Philadclphla- Trenton route, but did not
succeed.
Her commander was Captain Mclntire

Its front elevation has the character

do not reveal to the passers-by either
the business or social purposes for
which il is intended. The architect has
happily and successfully embodied its
business and social needs without sacri-
