ar.th. or AneIent Mariners.

Sailors yarns havo always been cele- brated for their imaginative character. Those of today, however, have no oppor- tunity for favorable comparison with the stories told by mariners of antiquity The latter were able to count upon an irexhaustible public credulity, nothing which they could possibly invent being too mOnstrous or unusual for belief Thtif tales presumably did much to Fugment the fears of the sea which were commonly entertained in those days; giving birth to many of the myths of ocean They told about the strange land iuhabitated by lotos eaters, who fed upon the fruit of forgetfulness and lost all memory of country and friends. Hey bnd was the terrible land of the one eyed giants, cailsd Cycleps, they said, while elsewhere were to be found the strange islands where the enshantrssses Gree and Calypso lived. These islands were in the narrow western Mediterranean, and beyond was the Cimmerian land, where the people lived in darkness al ways, inhabiting gloomy caves,
 There were the Sirens also, whose song was death. They were condemned to die when a man should pass them With out stopping. Ulysses accomplished this by putting wax in his ears. So they were changed Into rocks of Sorrento, where they still exist terror to mari ners. The Sirens typify the surf, whose harmonious murlnurs are often the death music Uf the sailor. In like manner the Cyclops represent the Storm Fiend, as their names show Brontes is the roll, Steropes the flash and Argis the white ness of lightning.
 Likewise the snaky Gordons are thought to be figurative representations of the white capped and angry waves. Not less to be feared were the dreadful Symplegades-hugo moving rocks which were fabled to crush ships passing be- tween them. It has been surmised that the tradition respecting these rocks was derived from the floating icebergs, which during the glacial period must have issued from the Black sea; but this seems hardly likely.

Large numbers of ducks are being caught in the rapids and carried over Niagara falls They are either killed or so shocked that hunters in boats below the falls easily secure them" Com menting on this, Mir. John B. Sage writes; T have heard nothing of 1t, but you may be sure that it's mistake don't be- lieye a duck was ever carried over the falls, unless he was wounded so that he couldn't fly, It is, however, a common occurrence for ducks and other birds to fly up the river from Lake Ontario on foggy nights and fly right into the falls, and thus be killed or injured SC that they are picked up in the river, and this is probably how the story originated. ."-- Forest and Stream.

The new bridge in Paris, called the Pont Aiirabeau, is to be constructed somewhat on the cantaleyer principle, since 1t will rest upon two piers and meet in the center. Its stability, how ever, will depend upon an adjustment of weight like that of huge crane The long arm meeting in the center will be of light construction, and to compensate for its weight the short arm received by the abutment will be specially heavy.

The British ship Berean, which re- gently made the voyage from Tasmania around Cape Horn to England, encoun- tered remarkable but not unusual phenomenon at sea, viz. storm of dust. After crossing the equator sue fell into the northeast trade winds, and when about 600 miles west of the Cape de Verde islands, the nearest land, the Berean's sails and rigging were thinly coated with a very fine powdery dust of a dark yellow or saffron color, scarcely discernible on or near the deck, but pro fuse on the highest parts of the rigging, so that the sails appeared tanned "- School and Home

The GuIllotIne and It. In,entor.

One of the most widely disseminated of popular errors is that Dr. Guilotiu invented the grim machine which still bea1s his name Tho real inventor of this sinister contTiyance was Dr. Louis, q well known medical man and perIna- nent secretary of the Parisian School of Medicine, or Academic de Medicine.
 Dr. Guillotin, who died in 1874, ener, getically hut yainly protested against the use of his name in connection with this disagreeable subject an evidence, if one were wanted, of the great diff culty there is of correcting apopular error. Needless 10 say that the legend that Dr. Guillotin was among the vic tins of his friends ingenious and lnerci- ful instrument of destruction is wholly apocryphal. He died at good old age, and in his bed, surrounded by his chil- dren who, however, obtained permission to change their name.--London Satur- day Review
