A Visitor from the Skies.

The biggest aerolite ever seen recently
fell in the edge of the Caspian sea, near
Apsheron. In falling the aerolite made a
most terrific noise as it rushed through the
mir, and the white hot mass made a light
that illuminated the country and sea
around about for great distance, When
1t struck the water clouds of steam arose
and the Kissing could be heard far Off
Huge masses Of water were thrown up,
ward and the sight to those who were not
frightened was a most beautiful one. Sc
enormous is the aeroIite that it projects
twelve feet above the water

CHARLES F. PECK, of Albany, N. Y,
one of Senator Hills outspoken advo-
Gates, said yesterday: "Whitelaw Reid
has killed the Republican ticket in New
York. Organized labor, controlling
250,000 votes, is bitterly opposed to him.
The universal feeling is that man who
takes ten years of constant endeavor to
defeat the honest aims of men seeking
the elevation of themselves and their
fellows, does not unionize his office
within a fortnight of his nomination
because his heart is with the labor
movement"

WHY does not President Harrison
call Joseph Benson Foraker into the
State department as the successor of
the illustriOus Blaine, and let Chas.
Foster of Fostoria go home. Foraker
demonstrated at Minneapolis that he is
the only man able to control any con-
siderable number of the Ohio delega-
ton. Mckinley, with all his immense
prestige, was only able to control his
own vote, after he had pledged Harri-
son q certain votes. With Foraker as
Secretary of State the Blaine enthusiasts
Of Ohio would come to the front, and
Harrison might secure the electoral
vote of the State in November.

THE printers of New York have in
vented a name for the Republican
ticket which will probably stick by 1t
during the entire campaign. They
have had circulars printed and distrib-
uted throughout the newspaper offices

son and Reid are referred to as "Hat
and Rat" Mr.. Reid's arrangement of
his difference with the union printers
may prove, like Mr.. Blaine's resigna-
tion from the cabinet, to have been
thought of too late.--Chicago Herald.

Gotham str.e,-c.r incident.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day on Il Fourth avenue car go
ing up the Bowcry. On the front of
the platform was a very mischie-
vous looking youth and Il very dilapi-
dated trunk. The conductor, after
collecting the boys fare, demanded a
fare for the trunk also, which the boy
promptly refused to pay.
elf you don't pay for that trunk,
and right away, too, I'll throw it off
the car" said the conductor.
81 can't help what you do" the boy
replied, II shan't pay you a cent for
it,"
After a Nordy dispute, in which
the boy persisted in his refusal to pay
for the trunk! the conductor gave it a
kick which lifted it into the street.
The car had gone about half a block
when a sleepy-looking German with a
very rublcund face, suddenly sprung
from his seat and gazed w~istfully back
at the trunk, which was fast becom-
ing indistinct in the distance.
In an instant his face became
livid with rage. and, rushing to the
rea platform, he demanded of the
conductor in words more forcible than
elegant:
'Vat you mean by putting mein
trunk off thecar in dot way for?:"
.'If that was your trunk why didn't
you pay me for it,: This Car amt no
free express wagon" the conductor re-
piled.
!, "yy der tuyful didn't you ask me
to pay for it, den? You shust run
back and get dot trunk now or I'll
break your head"
After IA short and bitter quarrel, IN
which the German seemed about to
annihilate his opponent, who was by
far the smaller of the two. the con-
ductor stopped the car and ran back
for the trunk. With an. effort he
shouldared il, and amld the jecrs and
laugnterof the passengers and cspeci-
ally the small boy, who seemed to en-
JOY the incident hugely, placed the
trunk back on the platform from
which he had thrown it.GNew York

which they fixed round tile head Of
the pile, leaving the two ends dang
ling. Several natives got hold of
each end and pulled alternately, until
the pile was worked down to the re-
quircd depth.
The piles are made of white man
grove, and in order to prevent the
ravages of the cobra insect, it is best
to tar the piles we'll, or better STILL

A jew WHO T.urht the Ceu,,,es.

A story of the smoking-SalOn of a
sleeping-car by Il commercial traveller:
/ was in Il Southern town not long
ago. and. having occasion to con-
graduate II of the citizens on the
prosperity of his place, said it had
grown considerably, and that the
town owed its prosperity to a jew.
He said that for many years. in fact
from the time the town had become
ore, the business men had been i'm the
habit of closing their stores at 6
O'Clock. Even the drug stores closed
at that hour, and they had no night
bells either. If a man was taken
sick in the night he staid without
medicine unless the doctor gave it to
him. One day a Jew came that way,
and opened a store. There was no
such Il thing as a store lamp i'm the
town, and never had been, so the jew
got some candles and stuck them
along the counters and lighted them
and kept his place open at night.
The people of the town used to go IT,
his place as Il matter of curiosity.
They mad never seen Il store open
after dark before. He tegan to pick
up an after-dark trade, and as soon as
this got out the other merchants fol-
lowed, and now they are all at it, and
all are doing we'll. 1 am not a jew
myself, but l take pleasure in citing
this case for the benefit of any Rus
SLAMS who may be present.

Latest .,or story.

A correspondent writes to IL con-
trmporary-sI a tell you Il dog
story that came before my notice,
being present at the time. No doubt
some of you readers remember the
Angel Hotel. The host had il very
clever dog who used to sit outside of
the hotel waiting for stray pennies to
buy buns with. and. being II very par
tic!,'ar dog as to the quality of the
tn!iis. he always took his money to IL;
shop where the best bun was sold. He
would drop the penny onthc floor and
wait until his turn came to he served.
liat one day IL gentleman who had
been drinking not wisely but too we'll
took it INTO his head to take rise out
of the dog, and threw him out of the
window a bad penny. The dog looked
at the penny with contempt, came
straight into the hotel, and gave the
gentleman a severe bite in the cali of
his leg. / Il vouch for this as IL
positive fact.

Flies. Feet.

We frequently call flies Il nuisance,
set traps for them. poison them, and
do II best to annihilatc them as
worthless and intolerablc creatures:
and yet the life of Il fly is one of busy
usefulness for the service and good of
man. He is a scavcnger of untiring
activity, and with so keen and quick
Il vision that no particle of offensive
matter can escape him.
1t is his business to pouncc upon
every such spcck and remove it at
once. With every such particles he
carries away IL miasma that would poi
son the air we breathe.
Some of these particles are too
small to be visible, but as they are in
finite in number, if left to accumu-
late they would soon he a greater
plague than an army of flies. At
times the buzzing insects may seem
Il torment hard to be forgotten.
Ii the foot of a fly is put under the
glass of Il good microscope it may be
seen how simple is the contrivance
that seems able to defy the. laws of
gr~avitation. The foot is made up of
two pads, covered with fine, short
hairs, with a pair of curved hooks
above them. Behind each pair is IL
tiny bag filled with clean liquid gum.
the hairs also being hollow and filled
with the same sticky fluid.
AS the fly glides rapidly over u
smooth surface, every step presses out
a supply of gum. strong enough to
give him a surc footing and to sus-
tain him i'm safety if he haults. So
strong is the cement that upon III of
his six feet is quite sufficient to s,ls-
tam the weight of his whole body.
But If he stands still the gum may
dry up and harden quickly, and so
securely fasten the travellers foot us
to make Il sudden step snap the leg
itself.
When it is remembered that each
pad is furnished with at least IL thou
sand hair or tubes of cement, it is
wonderful how many escape un-
harmed.

Buildings House.

In some parts of New Guinea whole
towns are built ''in the sea-" The
inhabitants live in constant fear Of
the bush tribes, and as a protection
against them, construct their houses
just off the shore. Mr.. w. ID. Pit
cairn, in his 1.-Two Years Among the
Savage of New Guinea" describes Il
villa which he built after the native
pattern at a cost of twenty or twenty
five dollars. Two chiefs undertook
the work, and received a little more
than half the money, so that the lab
orers got ten or twelve dollars.
l drew on the beach a rough ground
plan of the house, showing the length
and breadth, the division of rooms
and the two verandas. Peter, one of
the chiefs, measured the plan with a
piece of cane, making the length and
breadth, and then rolled UP the cane
and put it in his pocket, or rather in
his dilly-bag, for Of course natives are
not provided with pockets.
He went home to his island, and in
a few days came back with several
conoes with all the necessary logs,
timber and other materials dashed to
them. including the sago p~alm-leaxes
for the roofing, and the cane for
splitting into laths; and when the
house was finished there was very
little material left. How he calcu-
lated so nicely 1 cannot say, but of
course he had considerable experience
In building native houses.
Not a nail was used in the build
ing. On the sea side the house stood
in about four feet of water at low
tide, and on the shore side was con-
nccted with the beach by a gangway.

driving piles. We gave them a rope,

he recovered himself, and gave a short

But the young man vas annoyed at

Professors Waldron and McArdle of
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
iege, are collecting grasses for a State
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. Among
the specimens secured along the
shores of DEVILS Lake was a species
of slough grass which had attained
the unprecedented length of twenty
five feet. Che samples were so long
that they wound them up in coils.
They also found what seems to be a
new variety OF wheat growing wild on
the prairies this season, very much
higher than the cultivated kind.
