When New Zealand sinks.

It was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for new island to
appear above or an old one TO disappear
beneath the waves Of the Pacific Ocean.
Such occurrences were sometimes noted
as often as two or three times year, and
were so common as to hardly excite com.
ment among navigators and scientists.
or late, however, tho Pacific has been
pacific" indeed. II is about thirty.six
years since the last island disappeared,
and exactly a quarter Of century since
the last new one popped up its head in
the greatest Of oceans. But geolo.
gists argue that this suspicious silence,
an omen of some monstrous catastrophe /;
that Dame Nature is simply resting for a
mighty effort. Sir Sidney Bell even goes
60 far as to predict that the whole of New
Zealand and the greater part Of Australia
will be engulfed before the end Of tho
year 1895.

The rock is the most remarkable object
at Gibraltar. 1t is impossible to describe
the effect produced on the mind by the
sight OF those immense tunnels, crossing
each other in all directions. bifurcating
again and again, sometimes Lit up. some.
times wrapped in the deepest darkness,
forming an inextricable network OF gal.
leriss and passages, q most confused
labyrinth, the way out Of which could
be found by no one who did not possess
the cue Of Ariadns.
The slopes by which We ascsnded were
smooth and wide, better than some high
roads traversed all day long by passen.
gem. Frequently we came upon enor-
nous heaps Of cannon balls stored in case
Of need, or we found an embrasure In the
living rock through which a gun was
pointed as though ready to begin work
on the spot. surrounded by all the neces.
sary ammunition.
Sometimes the darkness was so dense
that / scarcely dared move my feet for
fear Of falling over one or other Of those
iron monsters, and on moro than one oc.
casion was forced to strike match to
find my way through those gloomy cav
erns, while found myself nearly always
tagging behind my guide, who, knowing
the way and being moro active on his
legs, kept ahead until he reached the
next loophole, when he waited for me.
At last we reached spot where the
passage was barred by thick tmbers, and
where my guide told me we could 60 no
farther, as this was the reserve part Of
the fortress where excavations are still
being made to continue the enormous
trench.
This place, he said, was closed to all
outsiders; and even the officers Of the
English army not on duty at the works
are scarcely allowed to see it. had,
therefore, to resign myself to forego the
sight of the greatest part Of that myster-
ious cavern, and approached the nearest
loophole-the highest We had yet passed
TO admire the delicious view and
breathe the fresh air to which it gave &C.
csse.
From the cursory examination which,
considsring the precautions necessary
there, was all was able to make Of the
immense fortress, gathered that it was
an impregnable position, which, brist-
ling with cannon and pierced with loop
holes looking toward every direction
from which an enemy could concsivably
como, makes it simply impossible for an
army to take it by force. To get possess
sion Of Gibraltar, have not the slightest
doubt that it would first be necessary to
annihilste it.

A piscERNINa FRENcHMAN.

re Hii, with Great Accuracy, the
Cause OF His ssrvsnts Tears.
The following snecdote is related Of
the Marquis do La Tour Manborg, the
French Minister Of War in 1920. He
lost his leg in consequence OF a musket
ball in the thigh. He bore the amputa-
ton with much indifference, and when
the operation was over he conversed
loosely with those around.
During the operation, it was remarked
that he had his eye fixed on his own ser.
want, who was in tears ell the time at
the sufferings Of his beloved master.
The only sound he ths Marquis) was
heard to make was muttered Damned
hypocrite!' now and then during his
sufferings, and the utterance seemed to
relieve him very much. When all was
over he perceived the servant still in
tear, on which he said to him:
"You internal hypocrite, you are still
shedding your crocodile tears, but you
can not deceive me, know you, you
lazy vagabond. You are secretly rejoic-
ing because in future you will have only
one boot to clean, wherein formerly you
had two. But I'll get big brass ferule
on my wooden leg that will give you ~
much trouble TO polish - the boot.

Science gives Us many interesting dc.
tails about what the human eye has
been and what il may become. The
most ancient written documents attest
that in times most remote only two colors
were known, black and red. A very
long time elapsed before the eye could
perceive yellow, and still longer time
before green could bo distinguished. Il
Is remarkable that in the most ancient
languages tlre term used to designate yel.
low insensibly passed to the signiflcation
of green. The Greeks had. according TO
the generally received opinion, the color
faculty very highly developed, and yet
authors Of the highest reputs tell US that
in the time Of Alexander tho Great, the
Greek painters know but four colors,
viz. white, black, red and yellow. The
ancients had no words to designate the
coloy Of blue and violet. therefore they
always referred to them - gray and
black. 1t is thus that the colors Of the
rainbow were only distinguished grad.
ually the great Aristotle knowing only
four Of them. 1t 10 . we'll known fact
that when the colors Of the prism are

what the opticians would consider per.
feet, this outside band will resolve into
a color perfectly discernible. Only one
speculation remains: When the sduca-
ted eye Of the year $500 has discernsd
and named this now indistinot color,
will another shsdowy band appear 70 be
classified among the colors 500 or 1000
years later on?

pretty little woman, took me In charge
and after asking me q number Of ques.
tions concerning my own way OF living
kindly answered those asked in return.
A Turkish "efYendi," she said, rarely
married more than one wife. He was
not esteemed socially when he did 30.
But polygsmy was allowed. It could
not be gainsaid that the Sultan had sew.
eral wives, but they did not count. Only
one counted.
No! Turkish ladies were not 90 shut up

Nor did they share husbands meals.

house he inhabited, nor ever, BY any
chance, see or encounter any one Of his

nor 60 to the thsater. nor spend the even.

law for Turkish woman to leave the
country; it would not be allowed.
Still, these trining exceptions apart
Turkish ladies had plenty Of liberty.
They could visit sach other and shop
when they chose. Their husbands we're
obliged to provide for them entirely, and
to satisfy all their capricss. They could
not be asked to do . hands turn for

An Irresistible Appeal.

Men and women who understand the
art OF bending others to their will Give
due importance to the passion Of vanity,
and do not scruple to play upon it, A
young French officer who was ordered to
6rs upon French revolutionary mob,
begged his general to let him try first to
persuade them to withdraw. 1T is use-
less to appeal to their reason, said the
general. Certainly, answered the off.
Ger; "and it is not to their reason, but to
their vanity, would appeal" The Off.
Ger rode up to the front Of the mob, dofied
his cooked hat. pointed to the guns and
said: Gentlemen will have the kind
ness to retire; for am ordered to shoot
dawn the rabble. The street was cleared
at once; for none could brook the idea Of
being classed with the scum Of the city.
During the agrarian riots which dis.
turbed England in 1882, mob Of rick.
burners and machine. breakers appeared
at the old mansion Of two elderly maiden
ladies. The walls Of the hall were deco
rated with suits Of armor and antique
wsapons-pikes, halbsrds, swords and
battle axes. The mob clamored for the
weapons and for drink. The ladies cour.
ageously refused their demands, and
when the mob seemed ready to resort to
violence, Miss Betty, the elder Of the
ladies, went up to the leader, hideous.
looking man, and said: "You, too, of
all the people in the world! I'm not sur
prised at these poor misguided creatures.
But that such good looking, intelligent
man % you should attack two defence.
less women does astonish me! You are
the man should have looked to for pro-
lection. But you are not the man took
you forl Never again will l trust to
good looks!" There was no standing up
against that compliment. The man took
on his hat, and said: "Come, old lady,
we amt 80 bad a. all that only give US
some beer. We would not harm q hair

retortsd Miss Betty. "You can't; I
wear q wig!" The mob roared with
laughter, and retired without another
Word. Womanly tact had won the day.

Atlantic Coast Line Violates the
Law.

WASHINGTON, ID c., Special The
Interstate Comma zee Commission has
made a decision in favor of the COM
plainant, in the case Of Charles +. Perry
against the Flori in Central and Pcninsu-
lar Company and other roads forming
the Atlantic Coast Line The conditions
affecting rates on strawberries from Flor
ida points To New York are compared
with those connected wi n the transpor
tation of oranges and other freight car
ricd in tho same trains, and the Com
mission rules that the rates for forward
ing strawberries from Florida to New
York city should not exceed 3.33 per
hundred pounds from Callahan, Fla to
New York, and from Lawtry, Hammock
Ridge, and other st,tions more distant
from New York than Callahan; and
through rates should not be in excess of
the charge from Callahan, and should be
filed with the Commission and publish
ed according to law. The Commission
also reaiirms its power to determine
what rates arc reasonable, and in. regard
to damages it holds that the measure of
rcparation is the difference between the
rate charged and the reasonable rate
which should have been charged. The
defendants are ordered to bring their
freight from Lawtry and all points to
Callahan in conformity with the long and
short haul provision Of the law, and fault
is found with the practice of charging a
thr ugh rate and adding local rate to
or from local point upon through
shipment Intended to be continuous.
