A New Chemical Element.

New chemical elements are not dis
covered as rapidly as new asteroids or
new comets and when one is found, as
has recently occurred, great deal of
interest is aroused in the scientific
world.
The new element was discovered in
Egypt in the bed of an ancient river
which has been dried up for ages, but
of whose former existence there are
said to be records dating back about
six thousand years. A few little lakes,
whose waters possess medicinal prop
critics, exist in the old river bed.
The new element, which is called
masrium, from the Arabic name for
Egypt, is a constituent of kind of
6brous alum. 1t falls under the class
of metals and is said by chemists to
possess strong individuality.
Moreover, it furnishes an additional
proof of the correctness of the prevail
ing theory of what is called the peri
odicity of the elements, since its atomic
weight seems to place it just in a GER
| tain gap in the system whose exist
ence had been noted. This, indeed, is
not the first instance in which a newly
| discovered substance has been found
to fill vacant place in the ideal sys-
tenn of the chemical elements. Other
gaps yet exist and chemists are becom-
ing so confident in the accuracy OF
their fundamental theory, that they
would not be surprised to see every
one of these gaps filled by the discov-
cry of new elements, the general prop
critics of which they are able to pre-
dict Youths Companion.

JUSTICE IN RUSSIA.
A Story to Show that 1t Is Not Entirely
Extinct.

Justice in Holy Russia! Gen. Van
Wahl, chief constable of police at St.
Petersburg, when he was Governor of
Kieff, received visit one day from a
poor woman, the widow of police
agent who had fallen victim to his
duty. For long time she had solicit
ed the pension which was her due.
The head of the police to whom she
had addressed her demand sent her
always brutally away. What was to
become of her and her children? She
took the resolution to go and see the
Governor, and told him all her story.
'Sit down there and WRITE" replied the
General, pointing to a writing-table.
The trem bling woman took her seat
and wrote from the Generals dicta-
ton long supplication. "Now ad-
dress it and wait for me in the next
room."
Two or three minutes afterwards
the woman was recalled, and the Gen.
eral gave into her hands sealed let
ter, saying to her: "Take this letter
to the head constable, take care not to
open it and come back to me as soon
as you have the reply" A week
passed, at the end of which the woman
went to the palace again, but this time
joyfully; her pension had been granted
to her and she thanked the Governor
with joy. at is useless to thank me
1 am nothing in the affair."" and he
Immediately gave the following order
"The head of the police at Kieff is dis
missed from his post and sent into
exile! The reason, because he granted
demand after having received sun
of money for so doing" In the letter
which the widow had written to the
head of the police, Gen Wahl had, un
known to her, slipped bank note fol
twenty-five rubles, which accounted
for her supplication being granted.

A Tideless Sea.

For practical purposes the Mediter-
ranean may be accepted as being what
it is popularity supposed to be. a tide
less sea, but it is not in reality. In
many places there is distinct rise and
fall, though this is more frequently
due to winds and currents than to
lunar attractions.
At Venice there is rise of from one
to two feet in spring tides, according
to the prevalence of winds up and
down the Adriatic. In many straits
and narrow arms of the sea there is a
periodical fiux and ref1ux, but the only
place where the tidal influence, prop
erly so called, is unmistakably OBJ
served is in the Gulf of Gabes, where
the tide runs at the rate of two OF
three knots an hour and the rise and
fall varies from three to eight feet

But one thing, alas! he managed badly;
He never could gain a victory.
Though he fought many battles, and far and

He always was found on the losing side.
Said his wife full often, and eyed him sadly,
Its a wearisome trouble and grief to me,
To think you should always be whipped so
badly,
Instead of gaining victory.

be,
Or never come back to the baby and mel"
Off he marched once more, the doughty Dad

Looking as proud as proud could be;
And the loving young wife awaited him gladly

BRIcANDs oUTWITTED.
A Gang of Outlaws Fooled by Sailing
Treasure Bag with Copper.

Faenza is town of some $4,000 in-
habitants, not without fame in history,
and known throughout the commerce
of the world through the original man
ufacturing there of the porcelain called
by the French faience, from the name
of the city. 1t is not very far from
Florence, and it lies in the Romagna,
on line of railway about midway be-
tween Bologna and himini. In the
immediate neighborhood of place so
situated a well-known citizen going
about his business in the daytime
might reasonably expect to be out OF
the reach of brigands, says the n. Z.
San.
Nevertheless, as Signor Baldi, with
his young son and servant, was drlv-
ing back to the city from his farm, two
armed men stopped him, took posses
sion of his son and the servant, robbed
them all of what little money they had
about them, and after little parley
allowed Signor Baldi to drive into
Faenza alone, with the pleasant under
standing that if he did not return
within time specified. bringing with
him $4,000 lire in cash, his son and the
servant would be killed. 1t was late

got what supply he could of silver and
copper, and filed small travelling
bag with it, putting in first layer of
copper, then one of silver, and sailing
the whole on top with handful of pa
per money. Then he drove rapidly
out of town and found the expectant
brigands with their captives. The
men looked into the bag, saw the bank
notes and the silver, "hefted" the bag,
and being satisfied by what they had
seen and by its weight, allowed Signor
Baldi to drive off rejoicing with the
hostages. This is all very well for Sig
nor Baldi and for once. VIII the next
captives get off as easilyP This may
be doubted, and great excitement not
unnaturally reigns throughout central
Italy. Meanwhile "the nine gentle
men on horseback" in velvet and
broadcloth, who in the beginning of
August captured Baron Spitalieri and
robbed the Baroness Cianco in open
day, near Catania, are still riding
about the country at large.

A REMARKABLE DOG.
He Joined the Boys In Blue and Went
Through the War.

The department of public safety has
granted old Ben another lease on his
| life. Old Ben is dog and belongs to
j. j. McGrew on Butler street, says
the Pittsburg Chronicle Teleqraph. He
| walked majestically into the seven
teenth ward station led by his owner,
who wished to procure a license for
him. Mr.. McGrew told his story,
which is interesting. Ben first saw
the light one day in Lawrenceville
| thirty-one years ago. The members
| of the old volunteer fire department,
which was then situated at the forks
of the road, kept him as a watchdog.
A man named Jeffries was foreman at
the time and he took quite fancy
to Ben. In 1861, when the call was
made for men to go to the front to
fight, Ben accompanied him to Camp
Curtin, where he was to join his regi-
ment. All the soldiers in the brigade
made a great pet of him and he would
never leave the line.
When the soldiers were in line for
roll-call Ben would always be at the
head of the column. In the line of
march he would always run ahead of
the regiment but would never go out
of sight, but as soon as the first gun
was fired Ben invariably dropped in
the rear. When the men retreated he
would retreat, when they advanced he
would advance, but always managed
to keep behind. In the battle of the
Wilderness his ear was pierced by a
bullet and he was not seen for three
days. This is the only mishap he had,
and yet he passed through most of the
principal battles of the late war.
His master was mortally wounded
in the battle of Manassas junction.
and Ben seemed to realize his loss
keenly, though he still staid with the
! regiment. He was on the battlefelds
of South Mountain, Antietam and in
the battles before Richmond. From
here the regiment was mustered out
and Ben, by special request of the sur
viving members of the regiment. was
given into the hands of Col. Rippey.
who returned with him to Pittsburg.
Ben seemed elated over his return to
the city of his birth and when he
reached the union depot eluded the
vigilant watch kept over him and es-
capped. Col. Rippey felt his loss keen
ly, and after searching the train and
depot concluded that Ben was lost to
him forever.
He then proceeded to his home on
Butler street. Great was his surprise
on reaching the engine-house to find
Ben quietly seated in the door which
he had left four years before to
go to war. DR.. McGrew secured the
dog from Col. Rippey before he died
and has kept him ever since The
dog is sprightly for his age The only
defect noticeable is the loss of one eye,
which occurred several years ago.
Ben had narrow escape last July. he
ate one of the buttons which were
used for killing dogs, but his master
administered powerful emetic and
saved his life. DR.. McGrew SAYS no
money can purchase the dog and when
he dies he will give him a regular
burial.

An Aluminium Yacht.

A steam yacht built of aluminium is
the latest venture in shipbuilding.
The little vessel is owned by Swede
called Nobel, who will take it to the
Mediterranean sea to use it there as q
pleasure boat. II was built at Zurich,
Switzerland. and the trial trips made
on Lake Zurich were found quite sat-
isfactory. The yacht made ten knots
an hour, and the silvery look of the
bright metal hull gave it an uncom-
monty rich and fascinating appear
ance. The length of the yacht is 40
feet, breadth 6, and draught of water,
2 3-4 feet. The weight is only $500
pounds, less than half the weight of q
common boat of the same size. and
including the engine of six-horse
power, heated with petroleum and
turned with a screw. When will the
the first transatlantic steamer be built
of aluminium?

Mosquitoes in Yucatan.

"The largest mosquitoes in the world
are to be found in Yucatan," said
Richard Beverly to St. Louis Globe
Democrat man. Until few years
ago there was not a mosquito in all
Mexico. They were introduced by
vessels from the United States, and
have in the land of their adoption at
tanned proportions unknown in other
countries. The lowlands of Yucatan
swarm with monster mosquitoes whose
bites are almost as painful as the
sting of bee. The historical Jersey
mosquito sinks to insigniticance be-
side these Titans of their kind, which
are frequently as large as housetiies.
In neighborhoods where marshes
abound it is impossible to keep stock
of any kind, and during the rainy sea-
son the people wear coarse netting
stretched over face and neck to keep
these insects from devouring them."
