Not all for sport and idle fun

The gun may cause the rogue to think

And feel that all within are bleSt;
No mortgage 10 fret his life,
No famished child nor sinking wife.

The Firefy's Light and Heat.

From some recent experiments of
Professor Langley it appears that, after
all has been said and done, the tirehy's
light is not emitted without generating
certain amount of heat-g and warmth
seeming to be inseparable Langley
finds that the firehy's light is substanti-
ally from the green side of the spectrum.
AS far as human contact with the insect
is concerned, there is no appreciable heat
contained in the light, but the professors
wonderful and delicate little instrument,
which he calls "boloscope, and with
which he measured the heat emitted by
the "bug," shows that it is about one
half of one-per cent. of that given out
with an equal amount of light from the
candle and other common combustible
illuminants.
That the light produced by the FREELY
is chemical product would seem to be
indicated by the fact that it is decreased
by the processes which check combustion
and increased by tho opposite; that
nitrogen quenches it and oxygen stimu-
lates it, while the product Of the opera
tion, whatever it may finally prove to be,
appears to be fine carbon dioxide.-[St.
Louis Republic.

Winter Houses of the EskimOs.

The igloos, or winter stone huts, were
not far from the summer tupiks. They
We're built upon the hillside, portion of
which is dug out to form the interior.
The domed roofs were made of large
pieces of fiat sandstone, carefully ar
ranged and held in place by pieces of
bone. These protruded somewhat into
the hut, and were utilized as hooks upon
which hung harpoon lines, pouches of
seal and bird skin, skin drinking cups,
bonedrills, etc. AT the back of the hut
was II platform raised about foot from
the floor Opposite this, which served
as the bed, was the opening of tunnel
six or eight feet long through which the
family must crawl TO enter their abode;
and here the dogs find shelter during the
storms of winter. The tunnel slopes
down from the floor, so that water from
the melting SHOWS of spring may not run
into the house. Over the inner entrance
of the tunnel, about four feet square, is
another opening of about the same di-
mensions, which allows light to enter the
dwelling. This hole is closed in winter
by having stretched thin and soaked in
oil. At Herbert Island, several of the
igloos were double, that is, two igloos
were built close together, each with sep
arate tunnel, but the dividing, inside,
partition was left incomplete -LScribner.

A War Time Relic.

A relic of the war between the States
is now on the dry dock receiving such
minor repairs and cleaning as may be
necessary to commission her for harbor
defence. This was the second Monitor
ever built, and the record of her useful
ness and her hard service may be seen in
the shot dents of the turrets. These are
painted in color different to that Of the
surrounding iron, in order to emphasize
their story; and they serve as an object
lesson to show that, utter all, when COM
pared with our days, how innocuous were
the boasted shot and shell of the re-
bellion. Of course it dose not make much
difference whether giant is killed by q
toothpick or hoisted with petard; he is
dead all the same, and worms will eat
him; but we were proud, and with good
reason, of those big smooth bores and of
their charges in those parlous days.
Then the theory was that for every ten
pounds of shot one pound of powder was
needed, 90-pounder being fired with
nine pounds of powder; to-day we have
for each pound of powder two pounds of
shot, the l0-inch guns of the Mianton-
omoh, the Nantucket's neighbor, using
250 pounds of powder to drive the 500
pound projectile. Tho Nantucket has
also sentimental interest; for when the
great Ericsson lay in state on her decks
in the harbor of New York, she was the
immediate representative of what his
genius had evoked to save the country in
u time of peril, for the original Monitor
went down one dismal day off our treach-
erous coast, and left as the second pro-
duct of her wonderful type the little
coast defender which now lies half hidden
within the walls of the dry y-dock. Har-

A Solid Fog.

The deleterious influence of fogs may
be estimated from some results obtained
from examination and analysis last month
at Kew Gardens London, England. The
director speaks of the leaves as being
covered with a substance like brown
paint-"tary hydrocarbon'-which can
only be scraped off with knife. On
analysis this shows over ffty-one per
cent of carbon and hydrocarbon, with
forty-one per cent of metallic iron,
magnetic oxide of iron, and mineral wa
ter. Any one at all acquainted with the
physiology of plants and animals can
apprehend in u moment how such mix
ture must affect both the lungs of man
and the leaves-which are the lungs-of
plants, as regards respiration. Strangely
enough, the deposit appeared to be more
marked at Kew than ut Chelsea. The
Young Man.

GREAT AMERICAN DESERT.
One of the Strange Corners of Our
COuntry-Its Sad Record.

The Great American Desert was al
most better known n generation ago than
it was to-day. Then thousands of the
hardy Argonauts on their way to Cali
fornia had travcrsed that fearful waste
on foot with their dawdling ox-teams,
and hundreds of them left their bones to
bleach in that thirsty land. The surviv-
ors of those deadly journeys had very
vivid idea of what that desert was; but
now that we can roll across it in less
than day in Pullman palace cars, its
real-and still eXisting-horrors are
largely forgotten. | have walked its
hideous length alone and wounded, and
realize something more of it from that
than great many railroad journeys
across it have told me. Now every trans
continental railroad crosses the great
desert which stretches up and down the
continent, west of the Rocky Mountains,
for nearly two thousand miles. The
northern routes cut its least terrible
parts; but the two railroads, which trav-
erse its southern half-the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad and the Southern Pacific
pierce some of its grimmest recesses.

Armed Against Starvation.

The London Pail Mall Gazette says
that while Lord Randolph Churchill was
travelling through Mashonaland, in South
Africa, recently, he took the precaution
of providing himself and his party with
somebody's Essence of Life" This
substance warranted to Sustain an adult
for one month";" was taken in order to
lessen the chances of starvation through
being lost in the bush. 1t resembles
small cake Of soap, and one is supposed
to lick it as mule licks rock salt-three
times q day. Lord Randolph himself,
with Characteristic sagacity, carries three
cakes. This "essence" is the secret pre-
paraton of professional faster; and al
though it does not appear to be very fill
ing, is said to answer its purpose admir-
ably.

WRITTEN FOR THIS PAPEis
WIN TER.

Drear Winter cometh forth again,
sternestis he OF stern brow kings;
And meath his tread dcspo led aud bare,
Lie Summers beauteous things.
Snow-crownd are brows of pleasant hills
Brows wreathed just now with emerald
rght
Ice-bouud are leaping, laughing rills,
Fast in his grasp of might.
dread lis presence as he strides
Ger hill and dale in robes of mist,
Or when he in cloud chariot rifles
With storm winds i'll his tist
For when his footsteps are abroad,
The sunbeams falter from his w'ke.
And roughly from hs ice-frnged robes
The breath of flowers he shakes.
He stalks into the forest groves,
All filed Just now with lie and light
But wien air Nature hears his tread
She grds herself for flight;
And hides her sweet and beauteous face
From the harsh tyrant, pale and cold,
And weeps in sad and faded grace
For sunlit days of old
But little heeds he smiles or tears.
Relentless warrior, rough and grim,
Heed not dcnd flowers on lowly biers,
Or hush OF forest hymn;
Nor grievcs to see the kingly oak
Stripped of his glory and his crown,
But mid the ruins of dead joys
He builds his cruel throne.
And oh, how desolate appears
The once fair realm where he holds sway,
Where things of beauty and of life
Once lived royal day!
And tall, strong trees in glory stocd.
With loving leafy arms entwIned,
And music made of song birds notes
Lay in the branches shrined.
But now the song birds all have flown,
And withered arms hang rent in twain,
Like hallowd friendships roughly hewn,
Which ne'er may bloom again.
And through the stripped an rugged boughs
The winds keep pc petual moan,
While mid the dreary solitudes
He holds weird court alone.
Yet soon shall end the despots sway,
Low lie his sceptre and his crown,
And springs warm sunbeams on their way
Shall melt his ice-built throne.
Fen now IN d forest avenues,
feather'd warbler sits and sings
His melancholy requiem,
And welcome to the spring.
Osoul of mine, has winters touch
III G., -, ;,,
And have the iowrrs and songs of life
Died out with summers day?
And through thy avenues all drear,
Do wither'd hopes like leaves be srewn?
And mid the ruin of dead joys,
Has winter reared its throne2
Yet hearken, for an angel sings
To thee song of Joyous note:
Arisel and to thy spirits depths
Its melody shall float.
Oh spirit tried yet God beloved
Thy long, drear winter taketh wing,
And through thy be Eg there shall flow
The new, glad lie o spring.
