Efielr contemporaries only t0nch upon
nature incidentally; man and bis local
eccentricities is their favorite theme. A
new poet, however, has risen--Cy War
man, of Denver-and he is evidently
struggling to express somewhat OF tho
emotions reused in him by Colorado's
sublime views. His recently issued
"Mountain Melodies contains sone fine
touches, in which, however, the sublime
occasionally yields very suddenly TO the
commonplace, as in this, for instance;
] want to go where the flowers blow
On the mountains high and honry,
Where the summer winds shake tho pa
tient pines
And tho sun in its glory
Falls o'er the stream where the rippiea
CLEAN;
Where the shores nro shoal and sandy;
want TO walk where the flowers talk
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
] love the stills In tho running rills--
The willowy rllls half hidden
That lie in the lnp Of the gentle hills
In the lap Of the hills unchidden.
] love the loas whore the honey bees
Are making sweets from the clover,
And when walk where the flowers talk
just feel good all over.
"The author offers no apology for tho
publication Of these rhymes They were
inspired largely by nature and natures

Francis Bret Harte ceased somo years
ago to be an American poet, and since
1880 could hardly be called an American
writer, even in prose- Indeed for tho
last few years Of his residence in New
York he was lecturer and collaboration
rather than writer In 1878 he was ap-
pointed United States consul to Crefeld,
Germany, whence he was transferred in
1880 to Glasgow, remaining consul there
till new administration came i'll.
He was born Aug, 25, 1884, in Albany,

Boiling OIL on Phosphorous Will Make
One.
To instantly obtain light sufficient
to read the time By a watch or clock
at night without danger of setting
things on fire is an easy matter. Take
An oblong vial of the clearest of
glass, put into it piece of phos rhor-
GUS about the size of a pea, pour upon
this some pure olive oil, heated to the
boiling point, the bottle to be filed
one-third full-then cork tightly. To
use the light remove the cork, allow
the air to enter, then recork. The
whole empty ace in the bottle will
then become luminous and the light
obtained will be good one. AS soon
as the light becomes dim its power
can be increased by opening the bot
tie and allowing fresh supply of air
to enter.
In very cold weather it is sometimes
necessary to heat the vial between
the hands to increase the fuidity of
the oil, and one bottle will last a
whole winter. This ingenious con-
trivance can be carried in the pocket
and is used by watchmen in Paris in
