had occurred at Kumamsto on the
date above mentioned conceded in time,
allowance being made for transmission
of the shock, with a double perturba-
ton which had been noticed by the
pendulum experimenters at Potsdam
and Wilhelnishaven III .5... 81
!4* The explanat lion Of the double per
turbation recorded in Germany is not
the least interesting part Of the story.
1t was interpreted to mean that the
shock in Japan ran both ways round
the globe, had a shorter distance to
go, it arrived at Potsdam about two
hours and thirty eight minutes sooner
than did the perturbation, which ran
round the shell Of the earth eastward
The distance along great circle
of the globe from Kumamato to Pots
dam, reckoning toward the west, is
about fifty five hundred miles, while the
distance along the same great circle
reckoned the other way round is nine
teen thousand five hundred miles. The
average velocity with which the shock
Travelled in the earth was about seven
thousand five hundred and eighty-seven
feet in a second. This agrees very well
with the velocity observed in some
other similar cases.

Made Love by Lightning.

The late Prof. Morse made love by
lightning, as it were. He met his first
wife during an evening call at the house
of her father and proposed marriage
to her before he went away that night.
After some happy years she died, ledv-
ing him with several children. He re-
ma;ned a widower until the age Of
81 he attended the wedding Of his eld-
est son. One Of the younger ones was
what the Scotch tenderly call an ''in-
nocent," and it was the kindness of a
relative Of the bride to this boy that
attracted his fathers attention. He
invited the lady to drive with him on
the following day. When they returned
from the expedition they We're engaged
to be married.

Fanny Duvenport's Joke,

From South Duxbury, Mass, comes
an interesting story about popular
Fanny Davenport that serves to illus
trate her keen wit and appreciation Of
humor. 1t is well known that Miss
Davenport has made the above place
her home this summer. Mr.. Melbourne
Mcdowell, the husband Of Fanny
Davenport, is one of the earliest risers,
and scarcely had the sun made it's ap-
pearance out of the eastern horizon
than his manly form was to be seen
vending toward the shore with rod and
reel From morning till night he'd fish,
and when the setting sun had cast q
gloom over the surroundings he would
return and, up to the last storms, with
more than usual luck. Since then, how
ever, the storms seem to have driven
the fish away from the shores Of South
Duxbury, and Mcdowell would re-
turn empty-handed and finally became
very morose in telling nightly the story
Of his sorrows at fishing. During the
visit Of Miss Davenport TO Boston she
was struck with the idea of engaging
q diver to visit her home with a supply
Of live fish, and when Mr.. Mcdowell
was fishing the diver, ostensibly at
work on the foundat lions for a pier,
would attach big fish to the line. The
scheme worked to perfection for sew
eral days. until the diver, becoming a
little worse for liquor, told the joke to
several Of the villagers. It finally
reached the ears Of Mr.. MacDowell.
Miss. Davenport owned up to the affair.
and the laughter that followed shook
the massive walls of Melbourne Hall.
Miss Davenport has been heartily com.
plimented upon her keen wit, while
Mr.. MacDoWen admits it's the bes.
joke he had ever known.-NeW York

China Also, Had n Columbus.

China Also HAD Columbus.
The belief in Chinese Columbus was
first allowed by scholars only about
fifty years ago. The claim is that a
Buddhist priest in the fifth century
crossed the Pacific to this continent and
returned, making: written report of
his discovery. The report still exists.
It was translated into French in 1871
by MI! de Guignes. 1t gave narrative
Of voyage eastward by a priest for
10000 Ii, where he found a country
which he named Fusang. People SINH
liar to- the Indians were described, as
well as American plants. The only
doubt: about the matter is as to the dis
lance meant by 10000 Ii. The priest
may have reached only some island in
the Pacific ocean.-Atlanta Constitu-

DarinEly True.

Christian VII. of Denmark was q
weak, though perhaps well meaning
king, and it was during his very early
youth that he fell under the influences
Of evil counsellors. One Of these was
Counte Holke, dissolute Courier, who
accompanied his royal master to Eng
land, and there led him into Infamous
courses, to be finally defeated in his
evil designs by. a homely truth-teller
of the common people. ~.
The king and his friends went one
night in disguise to some place Of re-
sort frequented by Danish and Swedish
shipmasters and there Count Holke
asked one old skipper what he thought
of his king and if he were not proud
Of the honors paid him by the Eng
ish.
II Think said the seaman, dryly,
''that with such coursellors as Count
Holke, it will be a miracle if he escapes
destruction
do you know Count Holke, friend,
that you speak Of him thus familiar
ly?"
"Only by report" said the Dane,
"but everybody in Copenhagen pities
the queen, and attributes the coldness
the king showed her, as he was setting
out on his voyage, to the malice Of
Count Holke.'
The king now broke in for the first
time. He gave the honest sailor a
handful of ducats, and said:
"Ten the truth, my man, and shame
the devil!'
His Danish speech gave the old man
a hint Of his identity, and he looked
upon his sovereign with love and rev.
erence.
"Forgive me, sire,' he said, in low
tone, "but I cannot conceal my grief
to see you exposed to the temptations
of this vast metropolis, under the pilot
age Of the most dissolute nobleman in
Denmark"
His incident led to the decline Of
Holke's influence, and finally caused the
king to cast him off altogether.

Saved by O. Dream.

In his "Recollection of Military Serv-
ices'' Sergeant Morris says that one
night, when he was completely worn
out with ng-continued and arduous
labors, he was placed as sentinel on a
post Of considerable importance. He
knew that the safety Of the town might
depend on his vigilance, and that dis
grace and death awaited him if he were
found asleep at his post; but excessive
WEAKNESS seemed to blunt all moral
sense Of obligation.
I resisted! the temptation for while,
and then, feeling that must sleep if
died for it, deliberately lay down on
the ground, rested my frelock by my
side, and, with stone for pillow, fell
asleep.
Time passed quickly, and now what
has seemed to me an intervention OF
providence occurred. was awakened
by terrible dream. An immense lion,
I fancied, was about to spring upon me.
In the utmost terror I started to my
feet, instinctively grasping my firelock.
Footsteps were approaching.
I pulled myself together, and had
sufficient presence of mind to give the
usual challenge, "Who comes there?''
'The Grand Round" was the reply.
"Stand fast, Grand Round!' I COM
manded. advance, sergeant, and give
the countersign."
The sergeant advanced few PAGES,
pronounced the mystic word, and I
called out, 'Pass on Grand Round, all's
welv'
It would not have E2en "welr' for me
had they caught me asleep; the inevita-
bic punishment for such crime, under
such circumstances, would have been
death. I had been asleep nearly two
hours. I thanked God for my deliver
ance, and vowed never again to sleep
while on sentry Indeed, I was too
much excited to care for any more
sleep that night.

BISMARBKO ON MUSIC.

The Part 1t Played In the Un1tlcation
OF Germany. IA 81 3ss
Prince Bismarck years ago said that
his favorite musical instrument was q
hand, organ. He did not mean by that
remark, however, that he was no adj
mirer Of the heavenly maid" On the
contrary, the chancellor is a great
:, lover of music and musicians. In the
course Of speech for the members 81
the Gesang Verein Orpheus, Of Ber-
men, few days ago, he paid Q high
tribute to the art, recognizing its aid
in shaping the destinies Of Germany
and in carrying out his far-reaching
plans. esa = BAL
In music" said the prince, among
other things, II am, unfor tunately, not
your equal. In the multitude of things
I was compelled to study in my youth
music was neglected. But despite
that I love it. I am thankful to
ally in my political efforts. The sound
OF the German song won the hearts.
I count it, in fact, among the aids
which led to the success of our strife
for union. Practical examples are not
always easy to cite, but the first which
now recall is that of the Becker
Rhinesong in 1841. Its influence was
mighty. The rapid adoption of the
song by the people-then mostly par
tieularists- the effect Of two army
corps.
Later came the "Wacht am Rlleim.'
The singing of that war-song on the
battle-felds in winter, when food was
scarce, strengthened the heart Of many
a soldier, and the heart feeling is
everything in battle. Therefore I do
not wish the German song to be over
looked as one Of the war aids Of the
future 1 wish to thank you for the
aid given me by German singers in
approaching the national idea and car
rying it beyond the borders Of the
Fatherland. We should hardly have re-
manned in such close relations to Vi
emma had not Haydn, Mozart and Bee
thoven lived there and created a bond
Of art between the Lower Rhine and
Vienna.
EYES," added the prince, "our rela-
tons to our third ally, Italy, were Of
a musical nature before they became
political. The first conquests which It.
ally made with us were musical con-
quests. I am no enemy Of Italian mu-
sic, despite my preference of the Ger
man school; on the contrary am an adj
mirer Of it. In this sense I thank
you as the guardians of music-continue
to cultivate it. The German cannot re-
sist the effect Of song. He is in the
proper hunor when he hears music.
It is a fortunate thing that our ruling
families are not enemies, but cutivat-
ors of music. This art would not have
reached so high a state Of perfection
in our country had it not always been
cultivated by the ruling families

The Origin Of Wall Paper.

In answer to query as to the orr
gin of wall papers, an English authority
states that the art of making paper
haDgings was copied from the Chinese,
among whom it has been practiced from
time immemorial. Wall papers did not
come into common use in Europe till
the eighteenth century, Tut stamped pa
pers for the purpose appear to have
been made in Spain and Holland about
1866. The first allusion to wall papers
known to exist is in the examination
Of Herman Schinkel, printer of Delft,
who was accused, in 1868, Of printing
books which were forbidden by the
then prevailing laws. Being interrogat-
ed as to certain ballads, he said they
had been printed by his servant in his
absence, and that when he came home
and found they were not delivered,
he refused to deliver them, and threw
them into corner, intending to print
roses and stripes on the back to paper
atticS.
It is probably to king William III.
that England owes the Introduction of
wall papers into that country. Paper
hangings of sort, it is true, were in
use in England before the time Of Will
lam Of Orange, but they usually consist
ed merely Of maps Of the world, as
| it was then known, with fantastic bor-
! ders Of Indians, negroes, and ele-
plants, and other natives of far-of re-
gions. The art of paper hanging in imi-
tation Of the old velvet flock was new
when William came to England. 1t
was on the walls of the drawing room
at Kensington palace that these new
hangings were first seen in Britain.
They took the fancy Of the fashionables
of the day, and their cheapness being
an additional recommendation, they
speedily came into general use.

GIE~ MI 1AHNESS ON A RIVER.

known summer resort of Ashfeld, is,
TO be converted into a bustling. manu-

an ambitious water-power scheme de-
ser1bed by the New York Evening Post
now on foot is ever contaminated. It
involves the Harvesting up OF South,
river by the electricians. Conway, it
is true, already has cotton and woolen
mills, but they are not large enough to.
give it distinction as a factory town.
In the four miles Of its course from
Conway Center to the Dcerfield river,
South river falls several hundred feet.
rushlng down over rocks and lodges,
and then out over a. sandy bed; but.

which in places: become almost inacces-

has hitherto been lost to manufacture
ers. Some distance. before the Deer
field river is reached a ledge Of: rock
rises sixty to one hundred feet above
the bed of the stream, extends at right
angles from the north wall of the river
gorge to within ninety-five feet Of the
opposite wall, and forms almost per:
feet dam. 1t is proposed to complete
this dam, by which means the water
could be made to. flow back three
fourths Of a mile and capacity Of
125,O00,O00 gallons could be obtained.
The depth of; the water just above the
dam would be nearly sixty feet: !. 200,
feet from the dam it would measure,
forty-fve feet, and one-half mile.
back twenty-five and one-half feet. The.
proposed power house for the genera
ton of electricity will be located $50 feet
below the dam, and the fall from the
top of the dam to the water wheels
will be 1OS feet. 1t is: estimated that
with two fiftee n-inch wheels on hori-
Total shaft over 600 horse power can
be developed. The electricity generated
will be used chiefly to operate an cleo
trio railroad for freight and passengers
between Conway Center and the steam
railroad in the valley. The result would
be to bring Conway into touch with
the outer world and to make Of it
the railroad town for pastoral Ash1ield.
Another prospective use for the elec-
tricity is the transmission Of the cur
rent to neighboring towns or cities for
lighting purposes. Northa Inpton is only
fifteen miles distant, and electricians
say that a current could be sent to
that place sufficiently strong to light the
whole city.

Pats Enterprise.

A very amusing incident is told Of a
noble son Of Erin who had received
many letters from his friends in Amer
lea, holding out all sorts of inducements
to him to come over. They had tried
every thing they could think of, when
at last one of his friends wrote him
that he had a "foine job for him,
digging post-holes at foive cints apiece"
That was too much for Pat; he could
not miss such a golden opportunity as
that; so he gathered together his be-
longings and started for the land that
seemed to him flowing with milk and
honey. :,
Having arrived and secured the situa-
ton, Pat worked along with his COM
panions for a few weeks; when brill
liant idea seemed to strike him. Saying
nothing to any one, lest his scheme;
should be discovered, Pat started off
and found some unoccupied lots, on
which he proceeded at once to dig post
holes as close together as he could
make them. He then erected o sign,
