PATHS Fairyland.

Craig y-nos castle, situated at the
base of The Rock of Night" one Of
the many high hills which stretch
away from the Brecon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay, from which the
diva's home takes its meme, appears
to the weary and footsore traveller
Ito whom a hearty meal and ample
rest is never deniedD to be as an oasis
amid the desert plains, Built in the
center Of a wildly romantic expanse
of scenery and traversed by the
Tawe, bright little river which
hurlies seaward, babbling and rip
pling as it flows, the castle stands re-
splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view Of
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.
To the left of the chateau are sit
uated the Conservatives, wineries,
peachhouses, etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with rare palms and Australi-
an ferns. Here the diva takes her daily
walk when fierce gales and drench-
ing showers deter her from Drawing
the clements. The castle and winter
garden are brilliantly Illuminated by
electric light, so that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the somber valley, is that Of an en-
chanted palace situated In Fairyland.

for the absolute truth Of 1t. Sir
Henry was presiding over a long, to-

attention, to long, tedious and unin.

Cnll nnd Electricity.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course piece OF
everyday knowledge. But it has
been left to Professor Pictet, who
has been conducting some expert
ments on this subject, to discover
that at a temperature Of $50 degrees
below the centigrade zero there is no
chemical action between nitric or
sulphuric 0cid and potash, between
oxygen and potassium, though, I'M
der ordinary circumstances, the af-
finity of the latter metal for oxygen
is so great that it will burn if thrown
into water, owing to it's combination
with the oxygen in that fluid. But
II the electric spark is played on bod
les which have thus lost the power
of chemical affinity, some new and
curious combinations result. The
latest Investigations, the conclusions
of which, however, have been thee-
retically presaged for some years
past, may require us to reconsider the
question of the temperature of outer
space and the possibility of an at
mosphere composed of gases in COM
bination existing there.

Can Plants See?

Tho mysteries of vegetable life are

Sewing In Public Schools.

The course Of study in sewing in
the Boston public schools is interest
ing for an amateur of sewing to con-
sider. To read of "thimble, emery,
scissors, set off neatly as articles OF
study, and to gaze upon a printed
curriculum of blasting, backstitch-
ing, overcaeting, half backstitching
and combination of one running and
one half backstitcl" is to realize
most intensely the advantages Bos.
ton offers to her daughters. In the
fourth year are taught, among other
things, stocking darning, straight
and bias telling, whipping and sew
ing on ruffles, he,nstitching, blind
stitching, tucking if not taught pre-
viously, gathers overhanded to a
band, sewing on hooks and eyes and
buttons, eyelets, loops, and in the
f1fth year there is q system Of dress

The Tower L.ri3a.

The famous lcaning tower Of Pisa
is campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical in
form, is 1917 feet high and 50 feet in
diameter, made entirely OF white
marble. 1t is called the leaning tow
er from the fact that it inclines some.
80 feet from the perpendicular, and
1t is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives the tower
such a remarkable appearance, was
not intentional. At the time it waa
about half done the error IN meas
urement was perceived. It was
guarded against by the use of extra
braces in the further construction Of
the building and an adaptation Of
the stone in the highest portion.
There are seven bells on the top Of,
the tower, the largest of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
90 placed as to counteract as far as
possible the leaning of the tower it.
