The following story is told in Eng

was recently made bishop of Norwich:
One evening young Cambridge man,
afterward head master of well-known
grammar school, but tutor for the
nonce to a Russian prince, was smok-
ing cigarette in his rooms in St. Pc

that moujilk wanted to see him very

presently explained that he was a

They Are Not Uncommon Anywhere ant

Mr.. Slater is in error in thinking
that a comparatively few now possess
the power to 'wag the year, . writes Eu,
gene NJ. Aaron in Science. The power
is common among the West Indian
half breeds and the Maya and other
derivatives of Mexico and Central
America, and many whites have the
power who hardly realize the fact. 1t
is not uncommon to observe this if one
will suddenly say to a companion:
What was that noise?' If Mr.. Slater
will say this in semi-star tied way, he
Will notice that in no in considerable

Nor is the ear that Darwin illustrates
in his Descent of Man as being allied

Sinian relatives as uncommon as
many may imagine. 1t is nv obscrva-

women, ard in many of these cases the
persistence of the wisdom teeth is also
a characteristic. I have in mind two
cases of this sort, one of man, the
other of woman, both residents of
one of our leading cities, and their So

earlier type,in ear, .in.teethin length of

other marked characteristics. 1t ap-
pears to me that the ear, like the
verniform appendix, the suspension of
the viscera, the position of the orifce
to the bladder and the unprotected
condition of certain main arteries, is
yet in transitional state and not
fully adapted to the newer human con-
ditions imposed by the erect position

BRIDGING rae COLUMBIA.



i A Great Enginsering Feat In the Fai
Northwest.
The recent completion Of the great
cantalever bride over the Columbia
river at Rock Island, Wash, marks the
accomplishment of the greatest feat OF
railroad engineering in the west. The
Columbia at Wanatchee, where the
big bridge is being built, is between
800 and 1000 yards in width and from
IL to 200 feet deep at low water Its
channel, according to the Seattle Her
aid, is worn deep below the general
surface OF the valley, and, though the
annual June rise is IS to so feet, it
never overhows. After many surveys
and measurements the company de-
cided to build bridge high enough
not to interfere with navigation rather
than drawbridge at shallower point
and support the same on piers
At the point selected for crossing, a
basaltic butte rises 500 feet above the
valley. The butte drops down to the
river in shelf-lik terraces, and on one of
these shelves the western approach of
the bridge rests

lar butte, 200 feet above the water, and
through this butte roadway has been
cut for the eastern approach Two
hundred and fifty feet from the east
bank of the river is an island, orrather
a huge rock, on which the only pier in
the river is built. Between the rock
and the west bank flows the main
stream, which is 416 feet wide and 14s
feet deep.
The whole bridge is 91e1{ feet long,
not counting the minor approaches,
and is 100 feet above low water mark
and 70 feet above extreme high water
The first span reaches from the bluff
on the west side, $50 feet, to a shelf
above the water line. The second or
main span reaches 4161S feet above the
main channel to the river. 1t weighs
$3.50 tons and in the center is rs feet
from top to bottom of the structure.
The third span extends from the island
to the east bank. The entire bridge is
built of steel and wrought iron.

BILE natural bridge formed by tree of

forty-fve feet in width, says the jew
eler's Circular
The tree had at some remote time
fallen when it became imbedded in
the silt of some great inland sea or
mighty water overflow
The silt became in time sandstone.
and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization
until it is now wonderful tree of
solid agate
In after years water washed and ate
away the sandstone until a CANYON
forty-fve feet in width has been
formed, the finty like substance of
the agatized wood having resisted the
erosion of the waterfow.
Fully fifty feet of the tree rests on
one side and can be traced, but how
far its other end lies buried in the
sandstone cannot be determined with
out blasting away the rock.
The trunk visible above the CANYON
varies in size from four feet to three
feet in diameter. Where the bark has
been broken and torn away the charac-
teristic colors of jasper and agate are
seen. To the naked eye the wood is

TWENTY MILLION YEARS.



| According to all probability, not
withstanding all the circumstances
which threaten it, our planet will die,
not of an accident, but natural death,
says Camille Flammarion in L'Astron-
omie. That death will be the conse-
quence of the extinction of the sun in
twenty million years or more perhaps
thirty since its condensation at rela-
lively moderate rate will give it on one
hand seventeen million years OF exist
ence, while on the other hand the in
evitable fall of meteors into the sun
may double this number. Even if you
suppose the duration Of the sun to be
prolonged to forty million years, it is
still incontestable that the radiation
from the sun cools it, and that the tenn
perature OF all bodies tends to an equi-
ibrium. The day win come when the
sun will be extinct. Then the earth
and all the other planets of our sys-
tenn will cease to be the abode OF
great book and will revolve, black
cemeteries, around an extinguished
sun. Will these planets continue to
exist even then? Yes, probably, in the
case of Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn
No, beyond doubt, for the small
bodies, such as the earth, Venus, Mars,
Mercury and the moon Already the
moon appears to have preceded US to-
ward the final desert. Mars is much
farther advanced than the earth to-
ward the same destiny. Venus, young
er than US, viii doubtless survive us.
These little worlds lose their elements
of vitality much faster than the sun
loses its heat. From century to CEN
fury, from year to year, from day to
day, from hour to hour, the surface of
the earth is transformed. On the one
hand the continents are crumbling
away and becoming covered by the sea,
which insensibly and by very slow de-
grees tends to invade and submerge the
entire globe; on the other hand the |
amount of water on the surface of the |
globe is diminishing. A careful and |
calculation shows that by |
he action of erasure alone all the
and on our planet will be covered by
water in ten million years.

FISHES That ARE QUIET.


mems OF the Finny Tribe.
A great many of our well-known
fishes do not move from Christmas to
Easter, and often for much longer
period" says writer in Our Animal
Friends 81 paid visit to the chief
Canadian fish hatchery, which is under
the superintendent of Mr.. Wilmot, at
Newcastle, Ont, early in December.
In some of the tanks were carp and in
Others were eeis. One large eel was
in the form of letter S, end poised
midway in the water; when returned
to Newcastle early in March the eel
had not changed its place or its form,
and Mr.. Wilmot assured me that it had
not moved in all that time. The carp
lay close to the bottom of the tanks
and did not move either. They like to
go into deep, reedy lakes or ponds, get
close to the bottom and remain there
till the ice above their heads has
melted Unless they are disturbed, /
doubt If some of these alternating
fishes move SO much as fin during the
winter. A frog will remain for four
months looking apparently into the
heavens with wide-open eyes without
once moving them or any other portion
of his body.
Sat the New York hospital they re-
lated to me a curious occurrence bear
ing on the Information of fishes. In
the conservatory in the upper part OF
the building they had several glass
jars in which We're goldfish, which is q
species of carp One morning the care
talSer found a jar broken and the water
frozen through and through. The
lump was taken away and thrown into
an old rubbish barrel, where it re-
NAMED several weeks. One March
day the sun was unusually strong and
it split the cylinder of ice, but what
was the establishment of the caretaker
to see the tail of a fish wriggling out
of a part of a broken block. The actual
freezing had not killed the fish, which
was removed to another tank, where
it swims about as if nothing had be-
fallen it."

Story Concerning the Early Lie q

oeorJ concerning tnc Early Life o.
Bishop Brooks.
A story is widely quoted that Phillips
Brooks, when about to graduate, went
to the president of Harvard college for
advice regarding the choice of a pro-
fession, and that the president said:
ut is well in such case to lay aside
impossible professions. Now, on ac-
count of the impedimenti in your speech,
you could never preach
This is so good story that it is a
pity to spoil it, but the Christian Union
says that after the election of MIR.
Brooks as bishop he was asked about
it's truth.
II did consult with the president
he answered, land he encouraged me
TO choose the ministry; he did not tell
me could not preach because OF nv
stammering, because never did STAN

Then he spoke, with some amuse-
ment, of the permanence of such
groundless reports, and said that he
had that very week received q letter
from an English boy who was STAN

his own sake, how DR.. Brooks had

LuckiEsT MAN IN MAINE.


The Last OF Tea Lost Eifty-Dollar BiIls
Almost Blown Back Into His Pocket.
The Maine Farmer nominates cam

York Recorder thinks he will be elect
ed. 3. W, Hartman, OF Readfeld,
used to drive the stage from Readfield
depot to the seminary at Kent's Hill, q
distance Of about four miles over the
hills. One clustering day of winter a
package containing five hundred dol
lars in fifty dollar bills was part OF
his charge. In order to be particularly
careful Of the money he put it on the
seat Of the stage, and then posted him
self on it. As he weighed about two
hundred pounds he considered the
money tolerably safe, but in some way
his weight broke the string and seal of
the package, and in fateful instant,
when Hartman rose in his seat to
whip his horses through particularly
stubborn drift, gust of north wind
swept under him and blew the green
backs far and wide over the snow.
Hartman saw them speeding over the
field with feeling of dismay; but he
happened to be near his own home,
and at once called on his neighbors for
help. No one was more popular in the
town than this same B. w. Hartman,
and the neighbors turned out as to
fire. By careful searching of the
field over which the bills had blown all
the money was found but fifty dollars
The most diligent search failed to dis
cover it, and it was given up for lost
But they did not count on Harriman's
luck. The field where the bill was lost
was about quarter of a mile from
Harriman's barn, and one day the next
summer Hartman happened to be
standing in his barn door when heavy
wind sprang up, blowing directly from
that field. His attention was attracted
to faded green object that looked |
like leaf and was coming dancing
across the field. Hartman watched it
and saw it tlutter directly toward him,
and finally sail into the barn door like
a swallow. He caught it and examined
it. 1t was faded and worn, but
through all the wrinkles of time he

fifty dollar bill that blew away from
him the winter before.

He was a well-dressed, well-fed,

Suddenly this complacency was in

Up to this time the boy had been

thumb to his nose in a manner most
infuriating But when he was collared
he changed policy and began to sob as
if he were being murdered.
