which eciipses the efforts Of all nations, past
and present-and Saturday, the 2Ist marks
the end Of the popular low-rate coach excur-
sious of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company

enioyed on this route These facts, coupled
with the fortunate and entire immunity from
accident of any kind thus far, end the COM
pleteness and dispatch with which this traf-
6c has been handled, place the STANDARD
Railroad in the enviable position which It
proudly claims-of being the best, safest, and
quickest route to the West.
All who can do so are advised TO visit this

that another of its immense magnitude Will

Miss Agnes NJ Clerke speaks encourag-

Miss Clerke doubts whether rehectors
will he made much larger, and she thinks
+ba size Of the speculum has about reached
its nractical limits. The almost distinctive
faculty Of refectors, however, Is tnas OF
throwing rays Of all refrangibilities to a
focus together. They are naturally acnIo-
matte. The trouble is that the lerger the

likely to become deformed. If mirror

to be 10 feet in diameter and will be placed
in a tube 140 feet long. With this immense

marvellous results. The chemical plate has
advantages over the human retina. because
it is sensitive to rays which the eye does
not appreciate at all. 1t is even possible to
photograph objects so faint as to be alto

Dogs as ". Alarms.

Nature has so fashioned the dogs nose
that the nasal bones are convOluted and
rolled in scrolls, upon which his olfactory
nerves are spread so that the entire space
from his eyes forward is a most intricate
and delicate smelling machine, " and the
largest which has been given to any living
creature. The organ is extremely sensitive,
especially in the spaniel breed.
One of these little jewels in the house
will not only instantly warn all inmates
against intruders, but will be the first to
discover, by its sensitive nose, that most
deadly and dreadful of all the clements
fire-which comes creeping stealthily upon
the unconscious sleepers and suffocates
them in their beds or aTouses them only to
die a horrible death in the sitting, smoke
filed halls and stairways.
No spaniel or hunting dog can rest an in
slant while the slightest puff Of smoke is
irritating his sensitive nOstrils. He will
fret and whine and increase the volume Of
his alarm until the household is aroused,
and do all this long before any human be-
ing can detect the faintest odOr Of smoke.
He is indeed a most prompt, speedy, re-
liable fire alarm, which never fails and new
er gets out Of order while his life lasts

wonderful Marine Plants.

The diatoms, of which there is an infinite
number of forms and species, belong to the
seaweed family and are microscopic organ
isms Of wonderful shapes and rare beauty.
They are single celled plants and are with
out doubt the most minute representatives
of the vegetable kingdom. Most plants are
but an aggregation of an immense num-
Der of cells of greater or lesser diameter,
but as above hinted the diatom Is but a
single cell, and this so minute that 900 of
the spindle shaped variety, laid end to end,
scarcely suffice to make one inchl
The living plant is a beautiful object Of
microscopic study, but it is not to be COM

in every Imaginable shape and form-circu-
lar oblong, fiat and square, cubical, watch
shaped, oval, triangular, wedge shaped,
crooked, screw or corkscrew shaped, like
pill boxes, lead pencils, boats, turtles, etc.
