The German Psychological society,
which spresided over by Baron Won St
Paul, of Fischbach, in Silesia, consists
principally of practical gardeners, nur-
serymen, scientific botanists, officers
of forestry and country gentlemen
The aim of the society is the introduce
ton of new trees and shrubs into Ger
many also to test their usefulness or
ornamental value. For this purpose
it is proposed to plant arboratums in
different parts of Germany, which, of
course, will also contain the old and
we'll known species of indigenous trees
and shrubs.

AN IMMENSE ROCKING STONE.
The Strange Discovery of Two Strolling
Englishmen In the Scilly Isles.

Englishmen In the Scilly Isles.
An interesting discovery has been
made in the isles of Scilly. The famous
logan, or logging stone, within mile
or two of the Lands End, has been one
of the sights of West Cornwall for many
years, and thousands of tourists have,
under the direction of the local guides,
been able with a slight exertion to set
the heavy mass of granite in motion, SO
evenly is it poised. But the logan rock
is put entirely in the shade, says a late
London dispatch, by the discovery at
Peninnis, st. Mary's, Scilly, of what is
believed to be the largest logging stone
in Britain. Its existence was disclosed
quite by accident. Edward Mcdonald
and friend were strolling around Pen
innis when a squall of wind and rain
came on, and they sought. shelter by
the side of an enormous mass of rock.
While leaning against it Mr.. Mcdonald
fancied he felt the rock vibrate, and an
examination was made with the result
that the two young men found that by
their combined strength the mass could
easily be made to move. Some time
was spent by them in proving their dis
covcry and measurements were taken
The rock is pyramidical in shape and
of the following dimensions: Mean
breadth, II feet; length, 10 feet;
height. 81 feet; circumference, So feet,
and 60 feet over all. 1t contains 1889
cubic feet, and is estimated to weigh
about 800 tons. 1t has since been visit
ed by large number of persons who
have confirmed the discovery. 1t is re-
markably well balanced and can be put
in motion by one person. the momcn-
tum continuing after the power has
been withdrawn. 1t has been called
the Mcdonald logging stone. a SINH
lar but much smaller rock was found
in the same vicinity by Thomas Sim
mons while he was in search of the new
logging stone. 1t is fiat on top and
can be logged by two or three persons
sitting on the top, see-saw fashion. 1t
is estimated to weigh 100 tons.

NEVER SMILED.
The Terrible Secret in the Life of an En-
ring Physician.

The Terrible secret III the Lire OF an Er-T
ring Physician.
"a few years ago." said Charles J..
Patterson, of Philadelphia, TO st.
Louis Republic reporter, II learned
the secret of the life of man who had
passed more than a quarter of CEN
fury with scarcely a smile. He had
been a physician and surgeon, and on
one occasion had to remove an injured
eye in order to save the other eye and
prevent total blindness. The night
before the operation he had been drink
ing heavily with some friends, and, al
though the following morning he was
sober, his hand was unsteady and his
nerves unstrung. After administering
chloroform he made a fatal and horri-
bic blunder, removing the well eye by
mistake and thus consigning his pa
tient to perpetual blindness. The mo-
ment he discovered his error he turned
the man over to competent surgeon,
decided everything he possessed to him
and hurried from the neighborhood
like a convicted thief. The remainder
of his life was one constant round Of
remorse and he rapidly developed into
a confirmed misanthrope. The secret
of his life was known to number OF
people. but when it was finally revealed
to me it explained mystery and made
me respect the man, for however grave
his original blunder, which in some re-
spects was, of course, worse than a
crime, his repentance was of the most
| uanuine character"

ROUGH RIDERS.
Skill and Daring Displayed by Cowboys OF
the Southwestern Plains.

the Southwestern Plains.
The wild steers are brought upon
the grounds before the spectators in
herd and rounded up and held by the
vaqueros near the judges stand, says
the San Jose Mercury. Three judges
are appointed, two timekeepers and
fiagman. The contestant, mounted on
thoroughly trained horse, is stationed
at point twenty-five yards from the
fiagman. When all are ready the
vaqueros single out a steer and with a
yell such as only cowboys can give
they start him across the line by the
flagman at break-neck speed. Just as
he passes the dead line" the flagman
swings his flag down as signal for
the cowboy to start. His spurs no
sooner touch the horses TANKS than he
is off with jump and rapidly catching
up with the steer. A whirl or two of
the lariat over his head and then the
moose darts out and neatly drops over
the head of the steer. This done the
rider draws the rope along the right
side of the animal and refining his
horse to the left, at right angles to the
course of the animal, brings the
rope across the hind legs of
the animal. The rope is then
wrapped about the pommel of the sad
die and all slack is taken up. Throw
ing his weight with the horse from the
steer, the animals head is drawn
around to the right, his hind legs
crowded forward, and almost as quick
as flash he is lying in heap.
This operation is usually performed
so quickly as to be an entire mystery
| to the steer as to how he lost his foot
ing. BY a little strain the rope is
| slipped from under the hind legs of the
steer up to the front legs, which are
then drawn in frontnSf- and elese
to his head The rope being fast to the
pommel of the saddle, the pony is set
back on it, and, bracing himself, stands
as firm as a post. The rider leaps off,
and in a moment is binding the feet of
! the PROSTATE steer with a short rope
which he carries ABOUT his waist. This
done, he signals to the judge, and time
! is taken from the drop of the flag until
the contestants signal is given. After
the cowboy throws up his hands he is
! not allowed to return TO his steer. No
| assistant is allowed at any time. Often
when a heavy strain is put on the rope
! it breaks and horse and rider have a
! hard fall. Should the horse fail to
keep the rope tight after the rider
leaves him the steer is very liable to re-

SAILORS SUPERSTTTIONS.
They Had Stranger Forms in Early
Days Than Are Now Mantle sted.
Stolen Wood Mortised Into the Keel to
Make the Vessel Sail Faster-Lawyers,
Women and Clergymen Looked at
with Dlsfavor on Sailing-Vessels.

Lieut. J. D. Jerrold Kelley gives an
interesting chapter of "Superstitions
of the Sea" in the Century. After
studying them fairly well, he doubts if
modern sailors are more superstitious
than any other class with equal train
ing and opportunities.
In earlier days superstition was as
much part of every ship as the water
she was to float in, for it entered with
the wood scarfed into her keel and
climbed to the flags and garlands waving
at her mastheads; it ran riotously at her
launching, controlled her name, her
crew and cargoes; it timed her days
and hours of sailing and conveyed her
voyages; it summoned apparitions for
her ill-fortune and evoked portents
and signs for her prosperity; it made
winds blow foul or fair, governed her
successful ventures and arrivals, and,
when her work was done, promised
port of rest somewhere off the shores
of Fiddler's Green, where all good
sailors rest eternally, or threatened
foul mornings deep in the uncanny
locker of Davy Jones of ballad memory.
In many countries stolen wood was
mortised into the keel, as it made the
ship sail faster at night; though if the
first blow struck in fashioning this keel
drew fire, the ship was doomed to
wreck upon her maiden voyage. Silver
casually a COIN placed in the mainmast-
step went for lucky ventures, and mis-
guided indeed was the owner who per-
mitted any of the unlueky timbers to
enter into the construction. Something
of the ceremonious character given 70
launchings survives to this day; where
of old ships were decked with flowers
and crowns of leaves, flags now fiutter;
the ibation poured on the deck, the
publication by the priest, the anoint-
ing with egg and sulphur, find their
exemplar8 in the wcll-aimed and wasted
magnums which are shattered on the
receding cut-water as the craft, re-
leased from the ways, slips, we'll
CREASED, into the sea; the jar of wine
put to his lips by the captain, and then
emptied on deck, the cakes and ale set
before the crew, the stoup of wine
offered to passers-by on the quay, and
the refusal of which was an evil omen
all are realized in these sadder lus-
trums by the builders feast in the
mold-loft.
Lawyers, clergymen and women are
ever looked at with disfavor on sailing
ships as sure to bring ill-luck-lawyers,
undoubtedly, from the antipathy of
sailors to the class, dislike SO pro-
nounced that ''sea-lawyer" is a very
bitter term of reproach, and land
shark" is a synonym. Clergymen-
priests and parsons-are un3ucky, prob
ably because of their black gowns and
their principal duty on shipboard-that
of eonsoling the dying and burying the
dead-though possibly because the devil,
the great storm-raiser, is their especial
enemy, and sends tempests to destroy
them. Women-who may reason cut

LOOK BEFORE YOU DRINK.
One Woman Didn't and Was Sorry for
Her Negligence.

Her Negligence.
Look before you leap" and also be-
fore you eat or drink, is good motto
to remember 1t is wonderful how peo-
pie will rise in the night, lay hold of a
bottle in the dark, and quaff the con-
tents, too often to realize by taste or
feeling that they have swallowed
carbolic acid or some other deadly
draught.
A lady had an experience the other
night which will teach her to light the
gas before she partakes of refreshment
in the night. She had a brown stone
bottle of imported settler water left in
the bathroom in case of feeling thirsty.
One night she arose, fumbled about,
found the bottle, which she knew by
its shape, and the fact that it was not
glass, turned out q goblotful, got a
mouthful of something so nauseous
that the goblet fell from her hand, its
contents saturaUing her night dress.
After good deal of spluttering and
some delay she struck light near the
wash basin, over which hung a mirror;
so she saw herself, and gave Shrek
which reused the house as she did so.
And no wonder-her face, teeth, hands,
feet and garments were covered with
ink,

the fair In Arizona in 1883, according
to the territorial rules He accom-
pllshed the feat in the very short time
of fifty-nine seconds and in this the
steer was given one hundred yards
start. Doc Gordon afterward tied
steer in forty-eight seconds, but with
fifty-yard start.
Tailing-down is the funny part of
the cowboy tournament, and always
creates merriment with all. The wild
steer is given good start, and in this
event it is generally desired that the
animal shall be a little hostile, per
haps killed some fine colts and caused
little folks to walk around a quarter
section of land in order to get home
from school He comes down the
track on lively run, and just as he is
thinking about turning on the cowboy
and horse and bluffing them out, the
cowboy reaches out and grasps the
steers tail. By magic twist and pull
of that appendage to one side and then
letting GO suddenly, the steer seems to
lose his equilibrium and falls headlong,
sometimes rolling completely over two
or three times. AS soon as he RECEIVERS
his feet he makes plunge, with head
down, at the horse and rider nearest,
but another cowboy has ridden up in
the rear and takes the irate steer by
the tail, giving him another tumble.
Three or four falls take the vim from
him and the steer slowly wends his
way to the herd, a reformed bovine.

Is the last place for them, or perhaps
because of the dread of witches, for of
all spell-workers in human form none
is so dreaded as the female brewers of
hell-broth. Like the priests of the
middle ages, they can raise prime
quality of storm by tossing sand or
stones in the air, and, like Congreve's
Lapland sorceress, are supposed to live
by selling contrary winds and wrecked
vessels.
Certain families could never get sea
employment under their own sur
names, not even such members as
were born with cauls, as they were
tabooed, barred; and many animals
hares, pigs, black cats, for example,
could neither be carried nor mentioned
on shipboard, save under very stringent
conditions. Scarborough wives kept
a black cat In the house to assure their
husbands lives at sea; but on voyages
every black cat carried gale in her
tail, and if she became unusually frol-
icsome a storm was sure to follow.
Years ago, on board the flagship Frank
lin, up the Mediterranean, we had a
yarn that illustrated survival of this
antipathy to certain forms of an
imals. Two old quartermasters were
heard during the morning watch ex-
changing in the cockpit dismal ex-
periences of their dreams the night be-
fore. One was particularly narrowing,
for the narrator wound up with: And,
/ say, Bill, ! was never so afeared in
my life; when woke up it seemed as
true as day, and was all of tremble
like an asp on a 6qt."
whats that?" said the other. Pipe
down; don't mention that reptile; he's
hoodoo on shipboard."
Figure heads were at first images of
gods, and later of saints and sea-heroes,
and were held in high reverence, and
the eyes glaring from each bow of a
Chinese junk enable the boat to voy-
age intelligently-for mo have two
eyes, how can see? No can see, how
can do?'' is the shibboleth of their sail
ors. Ships bells were blessed, and to-
day if mistake in their striking is
made by stupid messenger boy, they
are DdCh"dIl " DIScsh IllC pSll'
In one ship to which was attached
the bell had come down to US from the
Ticonderoga, through the Thetis, |
think, and was supposed to be under
the special control of blue spirit of
mischief Why the blue spirit should
indulge in such vagaries is hidden, but
in the middle of deep-sea nights, when
the moon rode in an suspicious quarter,
and the wind blew with the force, and
from the direction, necessary for the
spell, the blue bell was bound to make
a complete circle, and ring out nine
bells stridently. Of course no one
ever heard or ought to kear nine bells
at sea, for eight bells are as fixed in
limit as the decalogue; but this was
promised. Whether the conditions
! failed to coordinate, | cannot say, but
though the bell was watched by al
sorts and conditions of men, the occult
ceremony was never performed for oW
benefit.

Falls will have trolly system

Tonawanda. Inventors OF the
different methods Of propulsion by
electricity will be invited to be
present with their appliances to
participate in the tests to be
made. He was of the opinion how

A Voice of Warning.

LONDON, Dec, 1.-THE Globe
this afternoon prints letter from
a British resident in China who
occupies an important position
which brings him in touch with
the Mandarins and the masses.
He says "a tragedy may occur any
day and when the japanese come
within sight OF the capitol l feel
certain every foreigner will be
massacred. Foreign ministers
will incur a perfectly insane risk
IL they remain there after the Ice
has closed the port Of Tlen Tsin.
The greatest danger, in fact, is that
nearly all the soldiers are members
OF secret societies which are ready
to break out"
