NJ. Flammarion. the French astrono-
mer, regards 1t as very probable that the
dark areas of Mars are. water and the
bright ones land. Professor Schaeberle's
observations with the greatest tele-
scope in the world (the Lick) under the
best possible conditions, lead him to pre-
cisely opposite conclusions. Mr.. Brett
lthe English artist astronomer) doubts if
land and water exist on Mars at all. and
gives good reasons for deciding that the
planet is in a heated state-as we sup
pose Jupiter TO be, for example. Pro-
lessor +. S. Holden in Forum.

A useful patrol wagon has been de-
vised for electric railroaders. 1t is con-
structed very much like police wagon,
but has a square tower rising out of it
which is mounted by a ladder The
tower is raised or lowered by means of
crank and pulley, and when elevated to
its full extent it is fifteen feet high. The
consequence is that the lineman can
drive under the wire to be repaired and
be Immediately placed by the raising of
the tower on a level with his work. The
patrol wagon is a great improvement on
the old method of repairing. without its
risks.

"At one time," said Mr.. Woolhiser,
who as boy worked in the same store
with Jay Gould, 'while Gould was in
the employ of Burnham he fell sick.
My father, who was general nurse and
something of a doctor, attended him
and brought him around all right.
Not long after he recovered he met my
father and said, You saved my life, and
if at any time You are in need and | can
help you / shall do so with pleasure
Fortune has not smiled on my poor old
father Of late. and being in absolute
need he wrote to Mr.. Gould. telling him
of his condition and asking for help.
No reply was ever received. / think
that our letters never reached Mr.. Gould,
or he would surely have helped ms.
wrote to him only few days before his
death for the fourth or fifth time. Gould
was always a good boy, and for awhile
we slept together in the same bed in the
old store in Roxbury. Jay never missed
saying his nightly prayers before retir.

The Dewey system of cataloguing q
library was devised BY Mr.. Melvil Dew
ey, at present director Of the state IL
brary. In it all books are classified into
a certain number of principal subjects,
which, in alphabetical order, receive
numbers; for instance. astronomy may
he 1. Then the subjects are divided,
and each division receives a decimal;
for example, history may be 1; thus
the history Of astronomy is numbered
IL. The divisions are further subdi-
vided, and each" subdivision receives a
number expressing hundredths. Books
on the history of astronomy in America
might be 1.12.
After these come, when necessary,
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come the shelf marks, which
show where the book is 10 DC found.
The system, theoretically. is perfect;
practically it is cuTnfraus. and, except
tothe cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Adapt
ed IN various ways, it is used in many
libraries, however New York sun.

J. G. Blaine's
First Big Speech

This was nearly one-thlrd OF contur,
ago, in tho memorable Lincoln and Ham
lin canvass Of 1850 For all / can learI
to the contrary it was Blaines frs
regular campaign speech. which he wa.
delivering in various parts OF Maine--a
set speech, no doubt, but delivered with.
out notes and having all the appearance
Of spontaniety
Blaine was only thirty years old and
scarcely known to fame outside of his
county. To be sure he had won some dis
tinction as editor Of 'The Kennebec
Journal; as rising and smart young
politician. and as delegate in 1856 to
the National Republican Convention.
Hence. this particular address, which /
heard him deliver In the Bridgeton Town
House on the evening of July 6. 1860,
and in which. in the slangy political par
lance of the time, he "hooped 'er up,
boys" marked an epoch in the career
Of the great Republican chief, which also
furnishes an interesting and personal
"reminiscences.
His speech, in one respect, was not only
odd but unique. in that he selected pas
sage Of scripture as a text for his ''politi-
cal sermon" And this is how his speech
opened, which l am able to quote cor
rectly from memory:
''Mr. President and fellow citizens: 1t
gives me great pleasure to see such q
great gathering Of the people here to-
night; so many earnest. freedom-loying,
loyal Republicans; an omen OF Republi-
can success, SO pronounced and so in
spring as to thrill with joy and hope
the whole Republican host throughout
the length and breadth OF our mighty
land-from the rock-bound bay of NADIA
waslxa to the Golden Gate Of San Fran
cisco; from the wood-fringed shores OF
Lake Superior to the surf-beaten coast
of the Gulf Of Mexico! Great applausel)
MY remarks this evening will be de-
voted principally to discussion of State
issues in general, and to the life and suf- I
ferings of the Democratic figurehead. /
Mr.. Ephraim k. Smart, in particular.
Uaughter)
Now. fellow citizens, / trust that
shall not be deemed sacrileglous--for no
sacrilege is intended-if 1 select as a
basis for my remarks, as foundation
for my humble political sermon. passage
from Holy Writ. The words of my text
you will find in the seventh chapter OF
Hosea, eighth verse. and are as follows:
" 'Ephraim. he hath mixed himself
among the people; Ephralm is a cake
not turned
Yes, fellow citizens, Ephraim is cake
not turned, and now propose to turn
him!''
And such a turning! 1t was perfectly
awful. Point after point, saying after
saying, deed after deed. marking the po-
litical career of the vainglorious Ephraim
K. Smart was taken up by Professor"
Blaine, dissected by Doctor" Blaine,
and satirized by Speaker" Blaine. And
when at the end of an hour or more he
bowed and took his seat. there was a
perfect Niagara of laughter. of hand
clapping and foot-stamping.
