Minute shells In Chalk.

Did you ever microscopicnlly exam
inc tiny bit of powder scrapcd from
piece of common chalkP "If you
never did, ns the philosopher told
the boatmnn in the oft-rcpcated story,
"you have lost nj lcnst one-third of
your life. "Not one person in 10, 900
has the lenst idea of the number and
curious forms of the minute shells that
can thus be brought into plain view.
The largest Of these shells IL not more
than the one three-thousandths of an
inch in length, yet they are IA perfect
ma the pcarly titans of the beach that
are large enough To hold half gallon
Of water, and which, when empty, roar
like cyclone. Some are shaped like
squids and cuttleishes, others like
'snnd dollars" or sea urchins, but by
far the larger minority will remind you
of seashells that you have seen at one
time or another. One very common
form Of these infnitcsimnl structures
Is shaped exactly like the common
conch shell, but il has been estimated
that Mt the least calculntiuni it is 2,000,-
900 times smaller
A careful examination of different
samples of any one specimen of chalk
will generally show that there nre from
3OOto 800 species of these minute shells
in every conceivable shape and form,
the very minutcst specks among them
being as curiously and wonderously
made "a those of larger cnliber.
Geologists say that Richmond, Va,

tains 10, 900, 900 minute extinct shells

ON THIS ROCK.
ny ". J. LAMPTON.

Bridal couples are supposed TO have
n monopoly of Niagara Falls, md
there are few to dispute il with them,
but now and then Cupid unfettered
HES him thence, and poems are writ
ten IN the lives of youths and mnidens,
set to the rhythm of tho rushing wa
ters.
such poem was that which Ralph
Reeder and Anne Martin inscribed one
day before the roaring rapids, the
towering cliffs and the great over
Ranging trees as witnesses to their
troth. They stood out on nm impend-
ing rock, far above the torrent, and in
this temple of nature gave the word
to each other that may never be gain
said.
Dear Anne" he said, for he was n
serious man, not given to fine speech,
con this rock we plight our troth.
Here, with no human witnesses, but n
thousand eyes to see us, we promise to
love each other always"
son this rock?" she echoed, as she
clung to him.
son this rock, he went on, elf the
evil time should come when that love
has grown cold and bitterness has
come into its place, we must meet to
fbreak the ties, in the presence of the
same witnesses which have seen us
seal them this day"
son this rock" she whispered.
clinging closer, as he bent and kissed
her.
Then they passed under the vines
and through the low hanging branches
into the open grounds, away from the
brink of the great chasm, and strolled
back to their hotel with the newly
made music in their hearts and its
softer notes murmuring in the words
they spoke.
Three months later, when the leaves
were crimson and gold in all the for
csts, and the air was touched with the
grateful crispness of the first frosts.
these two became one in the old
church where Anne's mother had
been married and where Annie had
been christened, and it seemed as if
no cloud could ever shadow the blue
of their sky.
But the clouds will come, and to
some they show no riffs through
which the sun may shine, and to these,
ere the year had gone, the clouds
came.
For three years more they thick
ened, and then the evil time came
when they thought it was not
possible for them to live the life their
married life was, and they resolved to
sunder the tie which had bound them.
Why they had grown apart in this
terrible fashion neither could say.
She had been frivolous, as most
young women are whose lives are
passed in plenty, and he had grown
cold and hard as men do who devote
themselves to their ambitions.
He had not thought enough OF her,
and she had thought too much of her
self.a
With this as promise there
can be but one conclusion, and
that conclusion they had reached.

coldness which nothing can melt.
"You remember, Annie" he said TO
her gently, when they had ended the
conference which was the finish their

though IL compelled her oh, dience.
She nodded merrily and went to
her room ns he went To his.
She thought of many things as she
made ready for this unexpected jour
ncy, and when they met again Mt din

trcmblod as he spoke to the servant,
for between them, NJ for months past,
there was n silence that shivcred
The next dny Mt noon they were Mt
the hotel, where four years before they
had been, but the harp strings were
broken, and the music wns dcnd in
their hearts.
They had scarcely spoken of their
journey, and now she asked no ques-
tions, but followed him ns if she were
walking in n nightmare.
As they left the carriage near whore
the little path led out to the rock of
their troth, he stopped in the shadow
Of tree and she stood by his side
waiting.
'1n few moments, Anne" he said
with qnivering lips, "the tie that we
made for ourselves will bc by ourselves
broken. When we have retracted the
VOWS on that rock where we mndc

She tried to speak, but her worts
were only grcnt sob, aud she fol-
lowed him ns he moved on toward the
rock. At the last turn in the path,
where the rock first came into view,
was n rough place, which he remem-
bercd to have helped her across on
that other day four years ago by Civ
ing her his hand. He remembered,
too, how il trembled in his and what II
thrill this reliance of hers upon him
sent through every nerve of his body,
and, unconsciously, when he came to
this place he held out his hand to her,
and she ms unconsciously took it.
Then, hand in hand, they stepped out
toward the rock, but it was there no
longer.
The nevcr-ceasing power of the
rushing waters had swept out its foun-
lations and it lay sunken in the dark
current below.
For one instant standing there on
he brink of the chasm, they looked
nto each others eyes, and then he
opened his arms and with little cry

"Thank God" he exclaimed, and
smiling they turned from the chasm to

The sun Causes Lightn ng.

Professor Elihu Thompson, the ex-
pert electrician, in the course of re-
cent lecture on the nature and charac-
teristics of lightning and electric
currents of high potentiality, said that
in his opinion lightning is caused
by the action of the sun on the clouds
through the ether, arguing that if the
sun can produce the aurora borcalis in
the light, thin air, which he repro
duced by electrical apparatus, there is
reason to think that In the dense air
nearer the earth it can produce cur
rent of high pressure that will strike
through with brilliant discharges. He
showed completely safe protection
from thunderbolts in the shape of n
cake of brass wires and declared that
an umbrella held open orer the head
with brass chains hanging from tho
ends of the ribs makes complete
protection.

Iondon Sept 22-Lord Charles Beresford, In an

the imperative necessity for adequate number OF
cruisers II the JAPANESE had more OF the cruiser

Chinese ships In the open sea; and had the Chinese
been better supplied with cruisers they ought to
have been able to manoeuvre and secure n better
position, instead OF being kept close inshore by the
encmy's ships Otherwise the opposing fleets we're
evenly matched. The battle proves that the powers
of offence OF modern fleets Infinitely superior
TO their powers OF defence. and this shows the I'm
porance OF more auxiliaries such dockyards. and
reserves Of munitions and men.

Charles. we ought to attack and never stop at
