PAUL AND VIRGINIA.

Touched by master hand the story grew
OF those sweet children of the sylvan world,
OF bird and beast and wonders manifold,
OF faithful lOve-a story ever new:
And thus the world ne'er bade the twain adieus
But deems that in some far Edenic isle
Paul and Virginia still their love pursue.
Where Natures charms Arcadian hours be.

In simple phrase. above the forms of art.
Their voices echo from that peaceful land
With grace that fills the eyes and moves the
heart
A breath of fragrance from the mystic strand
Where loving still and never more to part.
And children still they wander hand in hand.

Ships of the Ancients.

Large ships were not unknown to the
ancients, but many of them were un-

mercy of wind and wave. Constantius
conveyed from Heliopolis to Rome an
obelisk weighing one thousand five hun
dred tons. The ship also carried one
thousand tons of pulse slowed about the
smaller end of the obelisk to bring the
ship on an even keel. Two hundred and

Hero of Syracuse Her three lofty
masts were brought from Britain. Lux
uriously fitted sleeping apartments
abounded, and one of her banqueting
halls was paved with agate and costly
Sicilian stone. Other floors were cum

Stables for many horses, ponds stocked
with live fish, gardens watered by arti-
fetal rivulets and hot baths were pro-
vided for use or amusement. Ptolemy

The SUsrit of DeStru ctiveneSs.

It was Just luncheon hour the other day
when truck loaded with a big piece of
glass plate halted before the rear of the
Equitable building, on Nassau street.
There was a wirdlass geared to the truck,
and from the top of the building a rope
rugged with puleys, reached to the street
Four men were on the truck, and they
fastened the rope to the plate glass, pre-
paratory to hosting it to window on the
top floor.
The work went on briskly and crowd
of some hundreds had gathered when the
glass began to ascend. When it was well
above the pavement the crowd extended
from the scene of action to Cedar street on
the north and to Wall street on the south.
Itwas composed entirely of men, every one
of whom kept his eyes firmly fixed On the
glass.
The workmen ground away grimly at
the crank, and the plate rose steadily.
When it was about half way up all necks
were craned to an average angle of about
10 degs., and the angle increased as the
men toiled on. 1t was a silent crowd. No
body spoke. Each addition to it seemed to
join in the spirit of the occasion, and find
ing a convenient spot began to gaze with a
determination that would not be moved
1t was not until well after luncheon hour
that the glass reached its destination.
The men at the windlass stopped. Then,
after the huge burden had been carefully
guided through the window by means Of
considerable shouting on the part of the
men above, and vice versa, the crowd dis
persaG and went back to business late.
But no sigh Of relief was heaved, for
there was not a man there who lad not
yearned from the bottom of his heart for
the glass to fall and dash to pieces on the
pavement.-New York Evening Sun.

A Discovery in Stellar Mnfinn.

In his Investigations of the period of the
variable star Algol, DR.. Seth C. Chandler
discovered some irregularities both in
brightness, period and in proper motion
A consideration of these irregularities has
convinced him that Algol, together with
its dark companion, are revolving together
about a third body nearly central in the
system in 1870 years, and that minor per-
turbations indicate, but do not prove the
existence of still other planets in the sys-
TEN. This is the first statement with any
foundation of proof that there exist in
stellar space any systems comparable with
our solar system. DR.. Chandler considers
that the central body, although dark, is
probably observable under favorable con-
ditions by the largest telescopes. He is
inclined also to the opinion that the evil
dence tends TO show that such systems are
by no means rare in the universe-Phila-
