.,The Lost ContInept. .

DR.. Bowdler Sharpe, the well known
ornithologist Of the British museum, do
hvered lecture at the Savage club on
'The Lost Continent" DR.. Sharpe first
illustrated the zoo geographical regions
Of the world. with their peculiar forms
Of bird life, and explained theoccurrence
of isolated forms in different portions Of
the globe by the existence Of a former
land connection now vanished beneath
the sea. The idea Of an ancient tropical
continent at the south pole uniting South
America, Madagascar and Australia Is
arousing considerable interest and dis
cussion In scientific circles at the present
time, chiefly owing 10 the support which
It has received from the recent discov-
cries In the Chatham islands Of Mr.. II.
D. Forbes. the well known Malayan trav-
eler. The lecturer IN conclusion dealt
with some problems Of the geographical
distribution Of birds for which no rea-
sonable solution has yet been offered

Atomic Principles.

A side light is being thrown on the ma
ture of the elements by the chemico-
physical discussion between Armstrong
and Hartly as to the connection existing
in the constitution of certain organic
compounds and the colors they exhibit.
We may take it as an established fact
that q relation exists. And If so, then
why may not elements of distinct and
Characteristic color be considered as
complexes analogous to definitely decom-
possible substancesP The two elements,
nickel and cobalt, of decided color in
their salts and in their metallic plates,
add strength to this idea in that they
may be considered as exhibiting a sort
Of isomerism. Their atomic weights are
the same within limits of experimental
error, and by analogy with compounds
identity Of atomic weight implies dis
similarity in constitution and therefore
definite structure. re.-Science.

A VIVID DREAM
A Passenger Kicked Out a sleeper window
and Threw Himself to the Ground.

A Passenger Kicked out Sleeper window
and Threw Himself to the Ground.
A young business man of Minneapolis
bought furnace and had it set up n
Saturday. Yesterday he worked all day
showing his wife how to run 1t so she
would not burn the house down, and
last evening took a sleeper for st. Louis.
Near Fulton he had vivid dream.
He thought his house was afro and
his family was locked up inside. With
yells Of desperation which fairly froze
the blood OF the other passengers in the
sleeper, he kicked in the door and found
the floor burned away. his wife and
everything in tho house cremated, and
be himself landed In the cellar with q
heavy thud. The blow awoke him, and
picking himself mp he found himself by
tie side Of the railroad track. Glancing
about him, expecting to see the tram 2
wreck and the other passengers killed.
he saw In the starlight his train vanish
ing In the distance. He had actually
kicked out the double window Of his
berth with his barefee and thrown him
self feet first through the window to
the ground while the train was rum
ming 20 miles an hour, and was unhurtf
save three cuts on his left leg, caused By
the broken glass.
The passengers notified the conductor,
and when the train was backed they
found the man walking 10 meet It. He
was clad only in his nightolothes. IL
was almost impossible to believe his
story, but his condition, and the deserted
berth contG.uipg his clothes, and the
broken wiz low confirmed it.-Molino

Professor silvanus P. Thompson is one
of those who believe that ocean teleph-
ony is not only possible, but that the
means Of attaining il are within our
grasp. Telephone cables for the deep
sea will, however, require to be made on
a different plan from the existing tele-
graph cables-that is to say, a single con-
ductor Of stranded copper insulated and
surrounded by an iron sheathing that
comes between the outgoing wire and
the water which serves as the return
part Of the circuit. The going and re-
turn wires will have to lie side by aide
within the sheathing. Moreover, the
whole circuit win probably have to be
broken up into sections which are capa-
Of acting upon each other by mutual in
duction. Globe.

CHANGING PIANlsrs.

was playing the accompaniment hap
penod to see the pianist glancing 20 the

myself and saw coming down the aisle
man that judged must be the relief pi-
anist, aud 80 he was imagined that
he would sit down for q moment and
wait, but, dear me, was very slow.
''Hs was approaching the piano at the
bass end of tho keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding of the scat to the right, still
playing. by this time the relief was
abreast Of the bass keys, and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily to the right, now relinquished TO him,
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
"There was q brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass--and for frac-
ton of a second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player Is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds TO his fesolute
touch.
"In fact, there never was minute
when the piano had anything TO say
about it. There never was a minute
when the mon were not completely mas.
tars Of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con
tinuously In motion, but the change was
made without q jar or a slur in the mu.
sic and without the omission Of note.
