The Moose Made Quick Time.

"Any one who thinks a moose can't
travel at pretty lively gait is very
much mistaken, remarked George T.
Horton of ST. Paul. 81 used to be To-
comotive engineer up in the northern
part of my state, and one day had an
opportunity to test the speed of this an
imal l was running light freight
train, and in coming around curve
saw big moose standing directly on
the track. AS soon as the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down the path between the rails. For
about four miles we had perfectly
straight track, and as l had heard of
the great speed of this animal deter
mined to test its ability. The gait Of the
moose was a sort of trot, such only as q
moose can exhibit, his PAGES being about
two rods in length. At first it was only
little jog, but as the engine began to
gain speed the moose let himself out.
Faster and faster sped the engine, but
still the frightened moose trotted in the
van, and all the mysterious power of
steam could not prevail upon this mon
arch of the forest At last after we had
covered the four miles, turning curve,
we came upon gang of section hands
who were fixing the track. The sight of
these men frightened the moose from
the track, and he was soon lost to view
in the forest. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

Quaint Old white Meeting Houses.

In the midst of the prevailing craze
for odd and bizarre styles of architec-
ture it is pleasing to come across a plea
for the simple and homely buildings

liam Henry Bishop, in an article in
The Century, in which he gives his ex-
perience while searching for summer
home in upper New England in the
form of an abandoned farm, says: 1.-TWO
small white meeting houses show their
Christopher Wren steeples complacent-
ly. Time has been when all these white
country meeting houses alike seemed to
freeze the imagination with their cold
ness, but times change, and we with
them. The charming grace and light
ness of design that many of them pos
sess have been recognized. Their white.
ness is a refreshing spot amid the green
ery-in short, they are coming back in
to favor again, with the many other nice
old fashioned things Of the period, and
the invasion of gothic chapels that sue
ceeded them had better look we'll to the
security of its domination.

Rulers Of Horses and Men.

1t is instructive to compare the Wis
age of the ruler of horses with that OF
the ruler of men. The horseman's face
shows command in the mouth; the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and the eye.
The last is undoubtedly the most effect
i've instrument in exacting obedience
from our own species. Here we get a
hint of the cause of that want Of dig
nifty, that element of coarseness, which
is discernable in the countenances OF
some men and women who have much
to do with horses. The higher and no
bier method of expressing authority is
outweighed by the lower and more ami
NAL one. e.-Blackwood' s Magazine

Natures freaks of fancy afford a
strange study. People are constantly
sending to the National museum sup
posed fossil animals ana other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
brms carved by water. A pebble in a
stream gathers about itself grains of
sand until an odd shaped lump is
made. A favorite shape for such Jumps

queer counterfeit of this kind, forward
ed to Washington not long ago, was an
alleged fossil foot oS child, with lit
tie stocking on, the latter showing signs
of wear on the ball Of the foot and on
the heel. 1t was only concretion, as

rified oyster on the she'll
One eminent scientist has been anus
ing himself of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quartz fibers. 1t is
well known that copper wire can be
drawn to a fineness much less than the
thickness of a hair-in fact, to the di-
ameter of the one-thousandth part of an
inch. But glass may be spun finer than
copper, while even the finest spun glass
is not so fine as silk fiber. The latter,
however, is coarse compared with the
threads that can be obtained by melting
quartz under blowpipe and pulling it
out. Such threads may be reduced to a
thinness of one-millionth of an inch.
Drawn to such tenuity, they are invisi-
BILE under a microscope of the highest
power. Yet they are stronger in proper
tion to their thickness than the best
quality of bar steel. Enough thread like
this could be made from single cubic
inch Of quartz to go around the world
G58 times. A grain of sand barely large
enough to be visible to the naked eye
would yield 1000 miles of thread.
Obviously no practical use can be
made of threads so extremely fine.
Comparatively coarse ones were woven
into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid.
They would not catch flies because they
were too slippery, having no gluten on
them, like real cobwebs. This difficulty
was got over by moistening a straw in
castor oil and gently stroking the threads
with it; then the webs captured flies
fairly well. But cobweb is incomplete
without a spider, so it occurred to the
experimenter to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzzing of fly. 1t was
difficult to make a fly buzz to order, but
a satisfactory imitation was produced
by permitting tuning fork to vibrate
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider right away. The scientist also
amused himself with blowing bubbles
of quartz, which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles -

Sponge Fishing.

The Greeks are considered the prin-
cipal sponge fishers, and it takes much
experience, skill and hardihood to quail
fly a man for first class place among
sponge divers. Many of the most valu-
able specimens are found at depth
varying from 10 to 80 fathoms. To aid
in the descent, the divers make use of a
triangular stone, with hole i'll one cor
ner, through which rope is spliced.
On reaching the deep sea gardens, where
the rock lodges are clothed with marine
growths, the diver retaining hold on
his rope, dexterously breaks away the
holdfast of the sponges and places them
under his arm until a sufficient load has
been CLEANED, when a pull on the rope
signals his companions above that he is
ready to ascend, and he is then hauled
to the surface, bearing his ocean treas
ures. .-Exehange
