MARINE DISASTERS.
In One Year England Lost $4,000. 900 and
300 Lives.

In One Year England Lost SIS, 900. 600 an d
400 Lives.
The saddest fact connected with the
greatest marine disasters of the north
Atlantic passenger service is that the
cause Of them remains mystery.
Whether these vessels blew up, caught
fire and burned, sprung a leak and
sunk, were overpowered by the forces
OF Neptune, or were lost through col
lisions with ice bergs, with derelicts or
with each other will never be known
Ships sail from port and are never heard
from more, or il heard of it is the casual
report of some passing vessel. The beau
tiful language of Irving is mostappropri-
ate; they have too truly gone down
amidst the roar of the tempest; their
bones lie whitening among the caverns
OF the deep. Silence, oblivion, like the
waves, have closed over them, and no
one can tell the story of their end"
In 1S41 the President sailed and was
never afterward heard from. In 1854
three large passenger steamers were
lost-the City of Glasgow, with $50
souls; Her Majesty, with over 400, and
the Arctic, with 500 persons. Nothing
is known of the cause of disaster in the
cases Of the two former vessels. The
Arctic was lost as the result Of a COL
hsion of Cape race with the vesta.
The captain Of the former vessel, not
believing that his ship had sustained
serious injury, sent his first officer,
Gourley, with . boat crew to ascertain
II the Vesta was badly damaged
and required assistance. The boats
crew was picked up by the Vesta,
but the Arctic went down with
all on board. In 1854 the Pa
cihc sailed with over 200 souls,
and was never afterward heard from.
In the same year lie Lyonpais foundered
of Nantucket and carried down ESQ
persons In the same year the Tempest
was lost with all on board. In 1859 the
Austria was burned at sea and 5SS lives
were lost. The Hungarian foundered
of Cape Sable and POS lives were lost
The Rechid has been missing since 1861.
Two years later the Anglo-Saxon was
wrecked off Cape Race and 237 persons
lost their lives, In 1865 the Hibernia
went ashore on the coast off Ireland and
and so Of her people were lost. The
next year the United Kingdom sailed

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MEN.
Some Of the Names That Would Go Into
List of One Hundred.

Some OF the Names That Would Go Into
List of One Hundred.
1t has been suggested to offer a prize
Tor the best list OF the one hun
dred most successful men in
the United States In this coun-
ry everybody is interested in the
that many fail only makes the interest
in those who do not fail the greater.
In preparing such an estimate latitude
must be allowed for the different ideas
of people in regard to what constitutes
success. The mere accumulation of
money, of course, is not the determining
factor. The one hundred richest men
in the United States are by no means
the one hundred most successful men
in the United States On the other
hand, there is hardly any kind of sue
cess that does not mean the acquisition
of considerable sum Of money. Thus,
IL we inquire who is the most success
full Of the religious leaders of the coun-
try | fancy that more votes would be
given to Rev. DIR. Talmage, of Brook
lyn, than to Bishop Phillips Brooks, Of
Boston, who is by far the greatest pull
pit orator in the country. Talmage is
not only distinguished preacher. but
he has, as preacher and lecturer, ac-
cumulated a substantial fortune, be-
lieved to be not less than . quarter Of
q million of dollars.
The most successful men are the men
who have accomplished most. consider
ing the advantages with which they
started. Thus, while many men will be
named in the list of the successful one
hundred, there will be hardly one rich
mans son among them. Cornelius
Vanderbilt is one Of the richest men in
the world, but he IL not one Of the most
successful His name surely can not be
placed in the one hundred list, while
that of his attorney and associate,
Chauncey M. Depew, must surely be
put there.
In Boston we should not put in the
rich young Montgomery searA but
should probably put ~ the top Of the
list Frank Jones, the great
president of the Boston a Maine Rail-
road Co., who ran away from
home when a boy and did chores
for q living, and has risen to the
rank Of ten millionaire
from that start in life. Roswell p.
Flower, who began life up in jefferson
county, n Y, with not much better adj
vantages and who Is nearly as rich a.
Frank Jones, would have TO be put in
the one hundred list
In Rhode Island, Fletcher, the
worsted manufacturer, who came over
here as an English laborer and is now
the owner of many mills and many
millions, would probably stand at the
head Of the list of successful men Of
that state
In the district of Columbia Alexander
Graham Bell must take first place a. .
man Of large accomplishments outside
of politics The great inventors Of the
country, Edison, Bell, Thomson. Maxim
and others, who have all realized
fortunes from their brains, would be at
once voted place among those who be-
long TO 'the one hundred" One

LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH.
Deprived of Its Atmosphere, It VIII Be
Slowly Frozen to Death.

Deprived of It's Atmosphere It VIII Be
Slowly Frozen to Death.
The earth has been born and 1t will
also die. 1t will come to an end either
through old age, when its vital elements
have been exhausted, or from the ex-
tinction of the sun, upon whose rays its
life depends. 1t may also end acct
dentally, from collision with some
heavenly body encountered on its
course, but that end of the world is Of
all the most improbable. 1t may die a
natural death by the slow absorption Of
Its vital element, and, in truth, it is
probable that air and water are both
diminishing, for oceans and the atmos-
phere seem formerly to have been much
more extensive than now. Water has
penetrated the terrestrial crust
and combined chemically with the
rocks, and the oxygen, nitrogen
and carbonic acid composing our
atmosphere seem also to be undergoing
a slow absorption. Through the mist
of future ages the thoughtful person
may far see the earth growing cold in
the sleep of death, having been deprived
of its atm osphere, which, like the va
pors Of greenhouse, protect 1t against
the glacial blealness of space. From
the summit of mountains eternal SHOWS
will descend like shroud over the
great table lands and valleys, driving
before them life and civilization, and
covering forever the cities and nations
In their path. Life and human activity
will gradually be contracted between
the tropics; St. Petersburg, London,
Paris, Vienna, Constantinople and
Rome will fall asleep in succession I'M
der an eternal shroud. For many cent
uries equatorial humanity will under
take useless Arctic expeditions in
search Of Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux
and Marseilles The shores Of seas
and the map OF the earth will be
changed. Life and respiration will
have ceased except in the equatorial
zone, till the day when the last tribe,
already dead with cold, and hunger,
will sit down upon the shores of the
only remaining sea under the rays of
pale sun that henceforth. here below,
will only give light to moving tomb
revolving around q body whose light
and heat are useless. Overcome by cold,
the last human family is touched by
the finger of death and its bones are
buried beneath eternal ice.
In future ages the historian may
write: Here lies all mankind and
world that has livedi Here lie all
dreams of ambitioa, all glorious mill
tary conquests, all famous financial
transactions, all the systems of an i'm
perfect science, and all vows of mortal
Lowell Here lie all the beauties Of the
earth?" But no mortuary monument
will mark the spot where the poor
planet breathed its last sigh.-N. Y.

HOW oBELIsKS WERE MOVED.
Methods by which the Egyptians Han
died the Great Stones.

Methods by which the Egyptians Ham
died the Great Stones.
The obelisks of the pharaohs are
made of red granite called syenite In
the 1uarries at Syene may yet be seen
an unfinished obelislt, still adhering to
the native rock, with traces Of work
mems tools so clearly seen on its sur
face that one might suppose they had
been suddenly called away and intended
soon to return and finish their work.
This unfinished obelisk shows the
mode in which the ancients separated
these immense monoliths from the
native rock. In a sharply-cut groove,
marking the boundary of the stone, are
holes evidently designed for wooden
wedges After these had been firmly
driven into the holes, the groove was
filed with water. The wedges,
gradually absorbing the water,
swelled and cracked the gran
lite throughout the length Of the
grove. The block, once detached from
the rock, was pushed forward on rollers
made Of the stems Of palm trees, from
the quarries to the edge of the Nile,
where it was surrounded by q large
timber raft.
1t lay by the river side until the next
inundation of the Nile, when the rising
waters fioated the raft and conveyed it
down the stream to the city where it
was 10 be set up. Thousands Of willing
hands pushed IL on rollers up an in
clined plane to the front of the temple
where it was designed to stpd. The
pedestal had previously been placed in
position, and a firm causeway of sand
covered with planks led to the top of it.
Then by means of rollers, levers and
ropes made of the date palm the obeliss
was gradually hoisted into an upright
position.-Chicago Inter- Ocean.
