that their confidence may lessen the
disposition to withdraw gold. In

trade. collections and transportation
during the week. especially At the
West"
+
"Exports are improving q little, but
the outgo Of 100000 gold expected
this week is not due to trade balances.
If the tentative action Of strong banks
does not check the movement, further
measures by the Clearing House are
contemplated for prevention Of dis
turbance. The Treasury has not been
losing gold, and the soundest men
feel that the Treasury and the banks
operating in harmony should be
abundantly able to meet difficulties,
until the new administration makes
known its policy"

Story of u German Professor.

Prof. Rudolf Virchow. Rector of
the University of Berlin, is a small
man, with a dry, parchmcnt.like
skin, and wears very powerful spec
tacles. He is much more liked by
foreign students than by Germans.
He says that Americans and English,
who do not soak SO Systematically,
have clearer heads and do much bet.
ter work than Germans. A friend
was once invited to his house to see
some rare fishes which he had re-
ceived a short time before. Virchow's
daughter, who is not famous for
beauty, was present. When the in.
spection of tine fishes was over.
Nirchow said. "All these I'll gladly
give you If you'll marry my daughter.
Eve been trying to marry her off
these thirteen years, but without sue.
cess" The clothes that the learned
professor wears are sometimes such
as no old.clo' man would invest in.
On n occasion he began the x
animation of a student by abrutIy
asking: "What color is my coat?:"
The student paused Cor a moment
and then replied: apparently, Herr
Professor, it was originally black;
now it seems to be of a blush tint"
for which reply he was passed. !

1Tish.ng Through the Earth.

Colorado has a su%btcrranean lake
of considerable extent. covered with
soil about eighteen inches deep On
the soil is cultivated a field of corn,
which produces thirty bushels to the
acre. The ground is a black mari in
nature, and in all probability was at,
one time an open body of water, en-
which accumulated vegetable matter,
which has been increased from time
to time, until now it has a crust
sufficiently strong and rich to pro-
duce fine corn. While harvesting
the hands catch great strings of fish
by making a hole through the earth.
A person rising ON his heel and COM
ing down suddenly can see the grow
ing corn shake around him. Anyone
having sufficient strength to drive a
rail through the crust will lind on re-
leasing it that it will disappear alto.

He Got the Cloak.

manded them to arrest the person
with whom it should be discovered.
One OF the officers recognized the
gown on the Khojah's back, and
scizing him, dragged HIM to tho
Mehkemeh (the public tribunal).
When the Kazi saw him he de.
manded:
'KhoJah Effcndi; where didst thou
find this gown"
The .khojah answered with a loud
voice, so that all the spectators
might hear:
"As l was walking this MORN

SO reckless of the holy law he
was appointed to administer that he
lay in an open field, dead drunk and

Story of Powers the sculptor.

When Hiram Powers, the Ameri-
can sculptor, had his studio i'm WASH
ington, he employed his spare time
i'm carving likenes.es of the wild ami
mails, with which lie had grown IA
miliar during his boyhood days among
the Green Mountains. 1t was at this
time that he made the figure of the
conchant panther, which now adorns
one of the rocks OH the main drive
way in Central Park. He was very
much interested i'll this piece of work,
and did not like to be interrupted.
One day a raw mountaincer from
Vermont, who had come to Wash.
ington to see the sights. thinking
that he must not return without pay
ing a visit to his talented country
man, sauntcred into the studio. Mr..
Powers paid no heed to him. and did
not ask him to sit down, but the
Fermonter was not abashed. He not
only remained, but he came so close
to the sculptor as to interfere with
his work. Mr.. Powers tried in vari-
Gus ways to intimate that his WISH
tors would he vastly better than
his company. Still! he staid. At last
the sculptor called the Office boy and
babe him sweep. AS the studio had
not been visited by a broom for a
month the cloud of dust was almost
sutfocating. The Vcrmonter chokcd
and coughed, but did not 90. He still
stood with his gaze fiveted upon the
piece of stone that was receiving such
wonderful grace under the skilled
hands of the artist. AT last MI.
Powers could stand it no longer.
Turning to the countryman he said,
with Il savage frC wn:
"My friend, l shall be very much
obliged to you if you will put yourself
on the other side of that door," The
c%ountryman began backing toward
the doorway, not once removing his
eyes from the panther.
"All right. sir" he said, .l'il 20.

Scientific Nleasurements.

They dill some things, even of q
scientific character, very we'll Il hun.
lred years ago. In fact, even within
urimproyed methods and appliances,
we can hardly excel some of the
achievements of the men of science
Of the last century. An instance in
poinJ has just attracted considerable
attention and applause at the Brus-
sells Science Conference and IN the
Astronomical Society of France.
In the year 1899 Dclambre and
Mechain, the celebrated French as
tronomers, measured near Perpigan q
base line as a part OF the measure
ment of an arc of the meridian. eX.
tending from Dunkirk to Barcelona.
The object was to obtain data for
calculating the form and dimensions
of the earth. They made the length
of their base line IS, 397. 9432 feet.
Recently this line has been remeas.
ured with the more refined instru.
ments of the present time, and it's
length has been ascertained to be 3S,-
39s. 400 feet. The difference is only
0.196S of a foot, or about two and
three.eighths inches in Il total dis
lance of more than even and one
fourth miles.
If the astronomers of 1890 had been
able to carry their base line around
the earth, using it like a surveyors
chain. their total error in measuring
the circumference of the planet, tax
ing its mean Dimensions. would have
been only about six hundred and
s%eventy-two feet in %. 900 miles.
