NAIL TUBES.
FIRST omciaI Trial of the Pneumatic 70
tai Tube

TAI TUBE.
In the presence Of 100 distinguished
persons the first official trial Of the
pneumatic tube for mail transit in
America vas successfully given in the
Philadelphia postotflce. The tube
runs from the sub-postofiice, 233 Chest
nut street, to the general postofice,
9th and Chestnut streets, a distance
Of a little over half a mile.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
after declaring that the system
meant rapid communication between
cities all over the world, at4:lS o'cloc ,
himself sent througha Bible VIZ Iped
: in an American flag and a message
which he composed, as the initial
package. 1t reached the s~ub-station
i'm one minute and three seconds, or
at the rate Of forty-fiye feet per see
ond, with a pressure Of six pounds to
the square inch. i
The message read: "First use Of
the first pneumatic postal tube in the
United States is to send through it a
copy Of the Holy Scriptures, the
greatest message eve given To the
world. Covering the Bible Is the flag,
She emblem OF freedom Of 50, 0 900
i happy people"
A package of local newspapers was
then sent through. From the sub
Station came a pair OF shoes, a loaf Of
sfeGd and Il Numbered shirt. AS a
Concluding test, the first regular mail
gas sent from the sub-ofice to the
seEcrai postofice. As a special test
the safety Of the tube, President
MILAN w. j. Kelly, Of the Electric
Pneumatic Transit Company, sent
lis gold watch in a shoe to the sub
tasien and the timepiece was re-
Frned in good shape. This result
aiticularly pleased the postmaster
kneral.
In every respect the test was a sue
IS and at its conclusion Mr.. Wanna
iaker had nothing but words of
raise for the new system.

the sea in various parts Of the world.
The most remarkable example was
that in which a bottle Travelled 5000

roughly at the rate of six and one-half
miles a day. 1t travelled from SO

How TyndalI Commenced,

Ii Vas while attending school at
/, Marburg, where he studied under
Bunsen, that Prof. John Tyndall be-
~an his original researches. His first
little pavsical investigation was the
phenomenon Of a water Jet. He
noticed that whenever there is any
ripping sound the water is accom-
panied by bubbles of air; when water
speaks it is due to the breaking Of
air bubbles entangled in the water.
When engaged in work of original
research he found that the distribu-
ton Of his time, by which specified
hours were devoted to special objects
Of study, was impossible. "You can
not he says, ''call up at will the
spirit OF research. 1t is like that
other spirit which cometh when IL

IN RIO JANE!RO,
Fetes and Amusements of the Brazil
iaaS.

iaaS.
There are two totally distinct seasons
at Rio, when the town presents an alto
gether different appearance; the sum
mer. which lasts from October to April
and the winter from May to September.
In the summer, which is in the autumn
/ and winter in Europe, when the sun
pours down into the narrow streets, Rio
/ is anything but an agreeable place.
| The heat has driven away the rich and
/ leisuFed classes. the great merchants,
the diplomatic corps: in fact, all of any
position or fancied position hasten to
the suburbs on the breezy heights over
looking the city or to the little country
towns in the neighborhood. such as Pc
tropOlis and Theresopois. whilst others
take refuge on the islands of the bay.
| The town becomes q perfect caldrOn:
but this does not prevent great eX-
element over the carnival. which is an
institution to which the Fluminenses.
or river folk. are particularly devoted.
This relic of the old heather Saturnalia
is fast disappearing from Europe; and
now that Italy is a united kingdom. il
is no longer properly kept up even in
its former headquarters, Rome and
Venice.
At Rio, however. carnival-time is
ivelier than ever, and there are socie-
ties for celebrating it in grand style.
Shrove-Tuesday is kept In most char
acteristic manner. and is distinguished
not only by the richness of the costumes
d. H. -. Il
the professions. but by the absurdity of
the caricatures in what may justly De
termed an open-air review Of the chief
events Of the preceding year In the
time of the empire the ministers
OF Dom Pedro betrayed the expenses
of the carnival and though republic
has now been esta blished. the old Gus
toms are kept up and the men Of the
revolution are spared no more than
were their predecessors; moreover. like
them. they are the first 10 laugh at the

THE VENGEANCE OF WOLVES.
A Pack Kills One of Their Number for
Supposed Lying.

Supposed Lying.
During one of my hunting and fish
ing excursions in Louisiana. says
writer in Forest and Stream, / was fish
ing on a lake two or three miles long
and from one-quarter to one-half mile
wide. On one side the hill land came
down toward the lake, leaving about
one quarter mile of sand beach. and
while there I saw deer running at the
top of its speed toward the lake, and a
moment later wolf appeared in hot
pursuit. Expecting them to plunge in
to the lake, when | could overtake and
kill them both in the water, kept my
place. Just before the deer reached the
water il was caught by the wolf,
which pulled it down and killed it
Then the wolf stalked about, looked
around, trotted off some distance, and
set up howl, went farther and again
howled, and then into the woods, when
] heard more bowling. The wolf being
out of sight / rowed my boat to the
place and got the deer, and then went
back TO my fish hooks. Shortly there
appeared on the scene a pack of ten or
pWCAfS HciNCS- ShtlASti dLlt tIoNCd
all around where the deer had been
killed These movements occupied con-
siderable time. They would huddle to-
gether, change about, and mixing up
trot around in all directions, keeping
close together. Finally they got into
fight, the whole pack attacked one
Welt and killed it. 1t was literally bit
and chewed 10 pieces. Now, what was
that wolf killed for? The probability is,
and L am almost positive, that the dead
wolf was the one that killed the deer.
l have talked TO many hunters upon
this subject, and have come across but
two who had seen anything similar,
and they thought the wolf had been
killed for lying. If it was done in the
case saw for lying it was the only
time l ever knew wolf TO be killed
wrongfully.

cit is remarka Die fact that in the
early cases in modern history it was al
ways for political offenses that surren-
der was claimed, though at present it is
almost the only grounds Of refusal But
such an offense does not mean a crime
committed from political motives, but
one committed during a time of civil
war or open instruction.
The French government in 1880 re-
fused to extradite Hartmann, who was
suspected of planning the plot against
the ear at Moscow in December 1879.
When the Swiss government in Novem-
Der, 1890. demanded the extradition of
one Castioni, who had shot member of
the ministry, the English judge gave
him the benefit of this exception in the
treaty. Charles H. as is well known,
pursued some of the murderers of his
father with relentless hate, and in 1851
concluded treaty in Denmark in which

TREES IN a CHURCH.
4 Curious Little Story With Respect to
tho Man OF Ross"

Trees are common enough in church
yards, but tree inside a church is
somewhat of rarity. 4 correspon-
uent, however, informs the London
Mhhon, that there are two trees grow
ing Inside the old church of Ross of
hsretordshire- They sprang up near
the seat formerly occupied by man
named John kyrie, who acquired fame
nrd distinction many years ago by ex-
pending modest fortune in works of
public usefulness. These chiefly took
the form of planting elm trees in his
native town. in order to brighten and
Improve its appearance work which
has since been carried on and extended
by the kyrle society. In consequence
of these operations kyrle became
known as the Man of Ross" MANY
years later it was found necessary to
cut down some of the elm trees near
the church, and curious thing then
happened Immediately after the trees
were destroyed two elm trees sprang up
Inside the church close to the seat
which the Man of Ross used TO occu-
py when he attended divine service
there The trees were allowed to grow
