O,DOnnell on Trial For Murder,

Hugh ODonnell, the first chairman of
the Homestead's advisory board, was
called for trial to day before Judge
Stowe. O'Donnell is charged with mur-

perhaps the most important of all the

TO REFILL TWO SEAS.
The Object of "a Great Movement That Is
Foot Ia Eastern Europe.


There is n movement on foot in east
ern Europe to cut a canal between the
Black and Caspian seas; also to recon-
meet the Dead sea with the Mediter-
ranean. The Dead sea is nothing more
than 4 small but very old salt lake now
in an advanced state of evaporation.
1t lies several feet below the level of
the mediterranean, just as the Caspian
lies many feet below the level of the
must once have been continuous. This
being the case, il is clear that the Cas-
plan and the Dead seas have both evap-
grated To an enormous extent While
all the surroundings prove that evap-
oration has been the prime cause of the
shrinlkage of the two bodies last men
toned there is one remarka bic fact
which deserves particular attention in
this connection: While the surface of
the Caspian has fallen to point only
cighty-five feet below the level of the
Black sea, the Dead sea has shrunll To
the enormous depth of twelve hundred
and ninety-two feet below the Mediter-
ranean, l am not informed as to what
the results would be if. canal should
be dug between the Caspian and the
Black seas but il is said that a connec-
ton between the Mediterranean and
the Dead seas would drown out the
whole valley of the Jordan, join the
last-named sea to the sea of Galilee ami
otherwise contribute to the complete
change of Scriptural geography.

Some time ago the labor of deepening
the harbor of Ciotat was completed.
On that occasion the contractor gave
to the members of his staff and the rep
resentatives of the press a banquet un-
prcccdcnted for its originality. The
table was set eight meters below the
level Of the sea, at the very bottom of
the harbor, inside the caisson in which
the cNcavato"s had been at work, and
only the narrow walls of this caisson
separated the guests from the enor-
nous mass of water around and above
their heads. The new fashioned ban
quoting hall was splendidly decorated
and lighted, and but for certain
buZzing in the ears caused by the pres
sure of air kept up in the chamber in
order to prevent the inruSh of water,
nobody would have suspected that the
slightest interruption To the working
of the air pump would have su ufficcd to
asphyNiate the whole party. After the
banquet an improviscd concert pro
longcd the fcstivity for several hours,
after which the guests reascendcd into
the open air. Ir.-Chicago Dispatch.

SUNSET AFTER a wORKOAY.

The drCarv ranks Of toll file past,
The worsroOm's hum sounds tired and SLOW
The hand moves lStlcSS 10 and frOi
Even our needles seem imhucd
with rustily rcbcllous mood,
And duh revolt against our Will
Like tcaSiug 2 spritcs, TO work Us i'll,
Envy and discomfort steal in,
Whispering 10 through the din
None but oUrsC Ives, say they, must climb
Rough paths, while others have free time
For all lifc's joys, its beauties rare,
Its music soft, its flowers fair,
Knowing no tasks for whose hard sake
Tired heads must throb and curved spnes ache
We ha3 the whistl blatant scream
That wakes us from this bitter dream,
Break of the thread and fold away
Our wor.s To wait another day
Plod nom ward through the dArScning street,
With chilly hands and mud-soilcd feet
The clouds seem frowning heaviest,
When. 10, thcy open in the west
\ faint pink touches smoke and mist;
one Spire, its crowuiuE cross atwist
With golden rays, points upward To
y ylrog edged, rare glimpse OF blue.
And through a narrow, hrick-framCd space
Smiles suddenly the SENS dear face.
Life looks SO livcablc again;
Where are the LONG drawn hours Of raius
Courage dnd confidence draw near,
Whispering To Us, calm aud clear.
None but ourselves, SAY they, may know
The fullnssS OF this sunset glow,
For We alone, who drud-cd all day

Can read the symbol fair Alright:
