plne-rrees on volcanoes.

Every one who admires trees must
be interested in the result OF Professor
Heilprin's studies of the pines that
clothe the slopes Of the great volcanic
mountains Of Mexico.
These huge peaks seem to have
pierced their way upward through q
mantle of pine forest, which clings to
their sides up to a height of nearly three
miles and three-quarters.
The vertical range of the pine in
Mexico Is remarkable. II is found
among the sun-loving palm-trees at the
foot of the mountains, and It stands

petual SHOWS that cover their summits

The traveller among the islands Of
the tropics finds few more curiously
Interesting sights than the coral reefs
that surround them. The variety of
color exhibited by the reefs where the
living corals abound Is as wonderful
and beautiful as that In flower gar
den. But the eye Of the naturalist de-
tects beauties and points of interest
that entirely escape the casual or care
less visitor. For every circling reef n
the home of vast variety of living
forms, which exhibit some Of natures

ton ofmeans to ends.
Among these curious inhabitants Of
the tropical water Is, for instance, the
Caput Medusm, an animal that bears a
remarkable resemblance to u plant,
and whose remote ancestors in the
most ancient oceans of the earth con-
trived to prolong the existence Of their
kind by developing means OF keeping
the water around them comparatively
pure. This is only one among q multi
tude of wonderful little animals to be
found In such places.
It is hardly matter of wonder, then,
that tho great barrier of coral reefs
that runs for twelve hundred miles
around Australia has been recently de-
scribed rs "a perfect Eldorado" for the
naturalist.
The shallow waters covering It TEEN
with representatives of almost every
group of marine life, and the exhibit
lion of animal forms and colors equally
surprises and delights the beholder.

The situation Of these myriads, ring
ing the islands of the sea with their
living circles, recalls that of man him
self, whose habitation is limited in a
somewhat similar way. He cannot go
down into the great ocean deeps, and
he cannot dwell in the thin atmosphere
of the highest mountains, but although
infinite space expands above him, he
is confined within q range of few

Blanche VIII. Howard.

Although she is best known to the
general public in America as a WRITER,
Blanche Willis Howard has for Come
time devoted her attention mainly to
her duties as chaperon for American
girls in Stuttgart, her present home
She was married there several years
ago to DIR. Won Teufel, prominent
physician. Miss Fannie Locke, now
Mrs. John Kenneth Mackenzie, daugh-
ter of the Rev. DIR. Clinton d. Locke of
Chicago, studied German and spent
some time in Europe under the chaper-
\onage of Mrs. Won Teufel. Miss Mar
garet Aver is now in Stuttgart and Miss
Harriet Aver, who afterward became
the wife of wealthy Brooklyn man,
perfected her education there. Miss
Bessie Bull, daughter of Stephen Bull,
the president and principal owner Of

spending three and half years there.
Mrs. Won Teufel is also editor of an
English magazine published in Stuff

zone Summer" published in Boston in
1895, was said at the time to be record

A story of Julian Hawthorne.

Mrs. Julian Hawthorne is q slender,
still graceful woman, with rather a
worn face, as might befit the mother OF
seven children and the wife of an easy
going, open-handed bohemian. She
tells a pretty story of this genial author.
A young man, doing some carpentering
in the house, remarked to Mr.. Haw-
thorne that he had great desire to
read some of his fellow-townsman's
books, but had never felt able to buy
any. The next day one Of the Haw-
thorne boys appeared at the mans shop
and left copy Of Dust" inscribed on

ships, City of New York, City Of Paris,
Majestic and Teutonic were built.
These were soon followed by the Ger
man vessels, Augusta Victoria and
Furst Bismarck and the French vessel
La Touraine. Before the close of the
summer the Cunard Company expects
to have its two steamships Campania
and Lucania in service between New
York and Liverpool. The Campania
was launched late last year, and the
first trial of the engines was made in
January. The Lucania was launched
quite recently. At the present time
there are built and building as many as
thirty-hve twin-screw steamships of
over 5000 tons, the Campania making
the fifteenth and the Lucania the six
teenth vessel to be produced of over
5000 tons.
The fact that these vessels for the
present are the longest and most capa-
cious steamships afoat, and that the
Cramps ship-yard in Philadelphia has
taken the initial steps toward the con-
struction of five of the finest speci-
mems of passenger steamships for the
Atlantic trade, renders the accompany
Ing illustration and detailed descrip-
ton of the Campania and Lucania, as
given by the London Engineer of par
particular interest at this time.
These vessels are sister ships, $50 feet
long over all, IS feet inches extreme
breadth and about 1880 gross ton
mage and $4,000 tons displacement.
Their 600 feet length between perpen-
diculars is only eighty feet short of the
Great Eastern and the breadth seven
teen feet less than the defunct levia-
than. The vessels have straight
stem and elliptic stern, with close bull
warks, all fore and aft.
The Campania and Lucania will each
be supplied with two sets of the most
powerful triple-expansion engines that
have yet been constructed, each set
capable, it is believed, of indicating
from $4,000 to $4,000 horsepower.

Woman,s Greatness.

Woman accomplishes most in life
through the channel which God or
dsiped that she should occupy. History
does not contain the great good accom-
plishedcby women engaged in carrying
out the behest of God. It is trite
saying: "The hand that rocks the
cradle, moves the world" But woman,
of herself, accomplishes little. On the
other hand she ''sinks or swims" with
her husband. She may be superior to
her husband in point of intellect, but
that superiority will develop itself for
the good of her home and the better
ing of her condition, as she is able to
work it out through her husband.
! No woman knew this better than
Mrs. John A. Logan. She was the
superior of her husband, but she had
the sagacity of woman, and did not
lose sight of the fact that her future
was bound up in her husband, and she
worked the faculties which God gave
her to the best end.
1t is sometimes unfortunate that
women secure poor, worthless men for
husbands. History contains the few
est number of married women, who at
tanned any degree Of prominence in the
world of fame and fortune, SO long
as they remain in domestic life with
the man whose name they bear.
Woman does not always know this
fact and she is sometimes found pitting
her energies against her husband, and,
by so doing, filling the divine injunc-
ton, "a house divided against itself
cannot stand" With this imperative
rule constantly before her many a
house would be monument of great
ness, that becomes shattered and
broken forever.-Chicago Weekly
Record.

A New Bicycle.

Here is q queer bicycle.
The system of differential gears pro-
vided in the wheel shown in the illus
tration is designed to enable it to be
run very easily at an ordinary rate OF
speed, or to be run slowly and with
great power, or very rapidly, as de-
sired. The main frame has an up
wardly curved backbone extending
from front to rear, and the driving
axle is journaled in hangers depending
from opposite sides of the frame, says
the Scientific American.
On the axle is a double sprocket
wheel of small diameter, chain from
which turns over a small wheel on the
hub Of the rear wheel, while another
chain extending forward from the same
wheel drives small wheel on the hub
of a fly wheel.
The periphery of the fly wheel also
has chain connecting with small
sprocket wheel on the hub of the rear
wheel, and the latter wheel has like
wise a sproclset chain connection with
sprocket wheel Of intermediate size
produced on the fly wheel.
This gear arrangement allows for
three changes of speed, one rate for

kettle, when boiling add TO it four
tablespoonfuls of pearl sage that has
been washed in cold water, simmer
gently for ten minutes, being very
careful that the sago does not scorch
while it is simmering. Cut small
carrot into fancy shapes and boil them
slowly in plain water, then add them
to the soup, cook Ten minutes longer.
Beat the yolks of three eggs until
creamy, add to them half pint of
cream, stir this quickly into the boil

and serve at ence. Chicken stock
would be very much better for this, as
it is light and delicate soup.

A NEAT TRICK.

One of the neatest tricks in the line

explained: A table placed in the CEN

glass. The latter is filled to the brim
with wine. The prestidigitator starts
out by pouring half of the liquid into
the bottle "to keep it from getting
spilled during its wandering from one
place to another" as he explains to the
audience. Two cylinders of the same
dimensions as the bottle are then made
by him in plain view of the spectators
of newspapers and three or four pins.

A Russian Professors Brain.

Russian women who respect the old
adage, "De mortuis nil nisi bonum,,"
had considerable difficulty in restrain
ing their feelings when they learned of
the results of the examination of Pro-
fessor BISHOP, who recently died in st.
Petersburg. The professor was one of
the most ardent opponents Of the
emancipation of women, and thor
eugh believer in the theory that women
are inferior to neh, because their brain,
as rule, is smaller. In his numerous
addresses upon The subject he was
wont to say that while the average
weight of the male brain was 1850
grams, that of the female brain was
''only 1850 grams" After BISHOPS
death his own brain was weighed and
was found to turn the scales at 1,245
grams, five grams less than the aver
age female brain which had so often
aroused his pity, contempt and satire.
