While writing with all the sclen
tifc knowledge of d great astrono-
mer, Camille Flammarion, in his
marvellous story, "Omega: The End
of the World" which begins IN the
April number of the Cosmopolitan
magazine, keeps the reader at the
highest point of excitement by his
vivid description of the alarm and
despair excited by the approach Of
a comet whole collision with the
earth had been declared by astrono-
mers inevitable. The description
begins at a time when the business
of the world has been suspended,
and at a great mass meeting held In
the Institute of France, we hear the
discussion of scientists as to the
possibility of a second deluge, the
drying up Of all the surface water
of the globe, or the total destruction
of human life by cold, together with
all the possible phases of death
paralleled by che history of the
moon. For scientific statement and
sensational effect this characteristic
product of French genius is unique
and the reader who reads this mar,
vellous story-and if he begins II
he will certainly finish twill have
assimllated without effort, a com
pact store of scientific knowledge.
In this way, apart from It's absorb,
ing interest, this remarkable piece
of fiction will have a distinct sclen-
tifc value.

The New York Commercial Bull.

courts by which such combinations
may be overthrown, although little
success has attended the effort to
break them up so far. Public sem

there is a great probability that the

big dividends so far, aggregating

These Mississippi packets Of the first and
second class are very large boats, and room
mess is the most striking characteristic of
every part of them They look light, frail
and infammable, and so they are. The
upright posts that rise from the deck OF
such boat, to support the saloon deck, are
mere little sticks. and everything above
them, except the tunnels, is equally slender
and thin. These boats are not like ours at
any point of their makeup They would

while they are themselves practically in

ears are closed by lids or valves, and their
eyes are covered by transparent nictitat-
ing membrane. They are further furnished
with an arrangement which prevents the
water from getting down their own threats
when they are holding large animals under

Not an Earthly Eden.

Wedlock is not Eden any more than men
and women are angels while wearing the
garment of mortality. The united pair,
turning from the altar, albeit one in name,
and for the time in heart, are no more
made perfect in patience and wisdom than
in holiness and happiness How they fare
In the novel state, entered upon with I'M
questioned eagerness, will depend as much
upon the discipline of temper and will and
the practice of the everyday graces Of mer-
cy, goodness and truth as If each had con
tinued to lead an existence detached from
the other and been compelled to defer to the
whims of blood relatives and to consult the
wishes Of chance associates.
The serious mistake that lies at the root
of this form of welded wretchedness is the
fatuous belief in one another's perfection,
without which ballad makers and romance
writers tell us marriage is a mockery. No
body can live up to standard as false as 1t
Is mischievous. Husbands and wives are as
fallible as II they had never been in love,
and hoped through love to find terrestrial
heaven. Marion Harland in Harper's Ba-
Ear

ne was stretched out IN faint on the
thwarts of the boat. For 100 minutes he
had fought the waves with the woman in his
arms, and only his splendid strength and
his powers as a swimmer had kept him alive
to buoy herup They were taken back to the
ship, and the next morning Lane reported
for duty again, but the woman had not en-
tirely recovered when she was landed at
Mazatlan, whittier she was bound
The intrepid sailors next exploit occurred
In connection with the same ship on her
second succeeding voyage southwark and
off the same port of Mazatlan. In the teeth
OF terrific gale the captain attempted to
enter the harbor, and the vessel ran upon
the rocks 800 yards from shore Her pound
ing soon opened hole in her bottom and
she began settling fast. There were over
200 people on board, and as there is no life
saving service on the Mexican coast and the
sea was running too high to permit boats
being launched the captain and his officers
abandoned themselves to despair.
In this direful emergency Lane again
came to the front with his indomitable
courage and resource. He offered to try to
swim ashore with a line, and the captain
accepted the desperate chance. Fastening
a light coil of rope to his body Lane plunged
into the mighty breakers, and in half an
hour the tautening of the line convinced
those who held it on the ship that he had
reached land and had made it fast.
A stout hawser was rugged TO the slender
line: that. too. was drawn ashore. A life
car was improyised. and before the morn
ing dawned the passengers and crew were
safely landed upon the Mexican shore.
News of this latest exploit of Lane spread
throughout the land. The Massachusetts
Society for the Preservation of Life voted
him gold medal. The navy department
was informed of his beroism. and the facts
being brought to the attention of Secretary
Tracy he ordered that Lanes sentence of
dispraceful discharge from the navy be re-
yoked that he be restored to his rank. nav
and bonors. and that he be allowed to HON
orably retire from the service IL he should
SO elect.

Most people have a very clear conception
Of what good play ought to be and of the
precise extent to which realism can be eff
fective without being offensive But it is
strange, and it is bad sign Of the times
that persons who would not tolerate a
coarse play read novels little, if at all, short
of indecent. An answer suggests itself
which may be comprehensive as an explana-
ton, but is insufficient as an excuse. In
our Anglo-Saxon social system the young
girl Is everywhere, and IL the shade of
Sterne will allow me to say so we temper
the wind Of our realism to the sensitive
innocence Of the ubiquitous lamb. Once
admit that the young girl is to have the
freedom of our theater, and 1t follows, and
ought to follow and very generally does
follow, that our plays must be suited to
maiden ears and eyes 1t is good thing
that this should be so, but the effect il
rather strange.
The men who hear plays in English are
not, perhaps, much more moral than their
contemporaries of Paris, Vienna and Ber-
lin. We like to believe that our women
are better than those of foreign nations.
We owe it to them to put more faith In
them because they are our own-our dear
mothers and wives and sisters and daugh-
tiers, for whom, if we be men, we mean to
do all that men can do But we are all
men and women nevertheless, and human,
and we have the thoughts and the under
standing of men and women and not of
schoolgirls. Yet the schoolgirl practically
decides what we are to hear at the theater
and, so far as our own language is con-
cerned, determines 20 "A great extent what
we are to read.-F. Marion Crawford in
