M. Gault states that the Rus
slams, since their occupation of the
district embraced by the valleys of the
5yr Daria and tho Zarafshan, have
given very great development to the
cultivation of cotton, and have intro
duced several American varieties of the
plant, notably the upland. At first
the natives were so preiudiced against
the new plants that the experiments
failed, but the Russians persevered,
and, whereas nine years ago Turke-
stan produced only $500 poods of
cotton worth $l433, the quantity ex-
ported in 1890 was about 1000, 900
poods, of an estimated value of
$1,000, 900.

Transient Islands in the Pacific.

The Western Pacific is great place
for islands that emerge from waves un-
expectedly and as suddenly disappear.
Sometimes they come up and stay, but
more often they have an existence
merely temporary.
The wonderful skipper misses a
familiar land mark, by which he has
been accustomed to get his bearings,
and perhaps the next day he runs his
vessels nose upon brand new piece
of territory that has sprung up out of
the water since he last came that way.
The region south of Japan is so given
to this sort of eccentricity that ships
avoid it. Volcanic action is respon-
sible for such phenomena. Reports OF
them will be noted on the pilot chart
in every case, though they are not
always reliable, because backs of sleep
ing whales and schools of fishes run
ming along the surface are frequently
mistaken for islands and shoals, San
Francisco Examiner.

wolves, half tired of their prey, were
looking up with fierce, wild eyes and
dripping jaws. The night grew black
about her, and earth and sky seemed
rolling away together.
Then, with sudden inspiration her
mind cleared, and grasping Jacks arm
TO steady herself, she began to whistle,
soft and low. but clear as q bell or the
plaintive morning cry of the meadow
lark. The wolves listened mutely, but

her ugly, revengeful cry as she vaulted

not until the revolver was empty and
both wolves motionless did Jack throw

A sort of antidecay apparatus has

Great Human Endurance.

President jeremiah Head of the sec.
ton of mechanical science of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
of Science in his annual address calls
attention, among other things, to the
power in man to withstand varying at
mospheric pressures. Thus, al
though fitted for an extreme atmos-
pheric pressure of about fifteen pounds
to the square inch, he has been en-
abled, as exemplifed by Messrs.
Glaisher and Coxwell in 1862, to as
cend to height of seven miles and
breathe air at a pressure of only three
and one.half pounds to the square
inch and still live. And, on the other
hand, divers have been down into the
water eighty feet deep, entailing an ex-
ira pressure of about thirty-six pounds
per square inch, and have returned
safely. One has even been to n depth
of $50 feet, but the resulting pressure
of sixty-seven pounds pes square inch
cost him his life. These are, however,
extreme cases. Most men experience
great inconvenience at any altitude
over two and one-halt miles, and few
can stand the rarefed atmosphere
above the three-and-s- -half-mile limit
in the Andes or Himalayas. So, too,
with the increased pressure; few can
long withstand the benumbing effects
of fifty feet below the surface in water,
although the knowledge of the case
with which the normal pressure may
be again reached lends courage and
assurance, very important factors in
such cases, to the daring experimenter,
while the extreme labor of ascending
mountains or the uncertainties OF
balloon action are deterrent in the
other direction.

DIR. Anders, of Philadelphia, a few
years ago made the interesting dis.
covery that the ozone in the atmo.
sphere, the element which is the great
purifier, was mainly supplied from
blooming flowers and for this reason
blooming plants were healthful in
dwellings as well rs attractive. Some
interesting experiments with the odors
of flowers have been made in the old
world, and it is found that many
species of microbes are easily de
stroyed by various odors The odor
of cloves has been known to destroy
these minute creatures in twenty-five
minutes; cinnamon will kill some
species in twelve minutes; thyme, in
thirty-fye. In forty-tive minutes the
common wild verbena is found effec-
tive, while the odor of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms of
microbes in fifty minutes. The essence
of cinnamon is said to destroy the
typhoid fever microbes in twelve min
utes, and is regarded as the most eff
fective of all odors as an antiseptlc.
II is now believed that flowers which
are found in Egyptian mummies were
placed there more for their antiseptiC
properties than as mere ornaments OF
elements in sentimental work. Nee

Animals and the Weather.

The tortoise is particularly sensa-
tive and fully twenty-four hours be-
fore rain falls will look for conyen-
lent shelter. However bright the
weather may be, whenever tortoises
are observed making for shelter rain
is certain to fall shortly afterward.
This presentment, which exists in
many birds and beasts, is doubtless
partly due to the increasing weight of
the atmosphere when rain is forming.
In our own country the robin is said
by is peculiar movements to give evi-
dence OF an impending change in the
weather, while in America the cat
bird is notorious for its unerring in
stinct in giving warning of an APP
proaehing thunderstorm Its method

he steamship of the Future.

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the late
Chief Constructor of the British Navy,
has given the weight of his high rep
utation to the possibility of construct
ing a ship for Atlantic navigation
which will be 1000 feet long and 800
feet broad, with engines of 10000
horse power and an ocean speed of
fifteen knots. This ship he described
rs ''steel island, which will be in
capable of entering any dock, at any
rate as at present constructed, having
several engines working side by side.
He thinks that draught of twenty
six feet of water need never be eX-
ceeded. 81 do firmly believe" said
Sir Nathaniel, ''that we shall get the
mastery over the seas, and that we
shall live more happily in marine
residence, capable of steaming fifteen
knots an hour, than we can ever live in
Il seaside town" This project is not,
however, intended to shorten the dur
alton of translantic voyage, but to
make it more tolerable while it lasts
Most of the efforts hitherto made TO
deal with the problem of Atlantic navi-
cation have aimed at speed as the first
essential, and have left out of account
the possibility of making such me-
chanical provisions against NAL de mer
as would enable the most squeamish of
passengers to contemplate an Atlantic
voyage with perfect equanimity. In
this direction the achievements of the
last half century have been truly mar
velous. Manufacturers Gazette,

Word has been sent to the courts of
Europe that the Shah of Persia intends
TO visit Berlin, st. Petersburg, Berlin
and Vienna next spring. He will start
on his journey in May or June, and
will remain in Europe several months.
The rulers whom he is to honor are in
an unhappy state of mind already on
account of the proposed visit, alleges
the New York Tribune. No living
sovereign, in all probability, is more
unwelcome guest than the Shah, but
his cousins in Europe are obliged to
receive him with all the honors due to
his rank. Entertaining him is more
expensive than entertaining any other
monarch. His retinue is almost q
legion.

One of the latest and most popular
developments of New York society is
the lady lecturer, who talks to an
audience exclusively feminine upon the
topics of the day. These "talks," as
they are called, are held only in private
drawing-rooms, and are listened to
with the most intelligent interest by a
score or more of women who have
dubbed together to engage some we'll
informed woman to post them, viva
voce, upon all subjects with which they
should be conversant. This lisa charm.
ing way to acquire knowledge, and one
which will undoubtedly grow more
and more popular among those who
either have not the time or the inclina-
tion to.study for themselves.

Far Ger the plains the setting sun
Sinks in a flood OF liquid light;
The creeping shadows dark and dun
Speak the diurnal journey run,
And herald the approaching night.
The slanting sunbeams glance and CLEAN

Whose slowly winding waters seem
Full 10th to lose a ray.
The smiling groves, the fruitful trees,
Deserted by the wandring breeze,
Fade dimly on the eye that secs

The mountains bare their storm-beat breast
In gladness to the golden West.
And every shining height 4
Ambitious rears its joyful peak

Let grief for fair Auroras flight
Be lost in rapture for the night

That typical Arizona town, Yuma,
will probably soon be lifted from Ari-
zona into California, where, it is
claimed, it has always rightly belonged.
Up to about fifteen years ago the point
was often contended between the local
authorities both sides the disputed
line, but since the arrest, in 1877, by
the Arizona authorities of San Di-
ego (Cal.) tax collector who tried to
collect taxes in Yuma, the question
has been dropped. The land Office
authorities have always evaded the
question. Recently William Hycks
WAS indicted by the Federal grand
jury for selling liquor to Indians in
Yuma. He denies the jurisdiction of
the court to try his case, citing the
authority of the treaty of Guadaloupe
Hidalgo and the recent reports of the
international boundary commission to
show that Yuma is in California. 1t is
thought out there that Hycks may win
his case and that the town will soon be
Yuma, California, instead of Yuma,
Arizona.

The roses, white and red
Nor shall one sweet wind go amiss
Where any rose is shed,
Aud summer hath her sigh and song,
But I love thee the whole year long
The winter hath It's frost
And roses, born OF spring
And summers flowers in Ice are lost,

Beneath the stars and snow.
