THE compass may yet disappear from the sea. The little needle, by the aid ot which intrepid mariners have for centuries charted the vast ocean. developed a sud den fickleness to the pole as soon as the compass was placed aboard the iron and steam ships of this age. So cratic have been the needles dt viations that, without frequent comparisons with some known standard, the helmsman would have been afraid to trust the instrument as a nautical guide over the trackless waters. For the first time Tn the history of navigation an appliance has been invented which seems to be absolutely accurate and trustworthy in the determination of the course of ships at sea- Lieutenant w. II. Beehler, of the United States navy, appears to have achieved this triumph in his delicate and beautiful solarometer, the telescope of which is so hcated upon successive layers of quicksilver, in vessel hung upon gim- b.ls, that the heaviest sea will evidently be unable to disturb its dead level. The authorized government deep sea trial of the first model on the North German Lloyd steamer weimer will decide the fate of the old style compass.

The Woman In Black.

"Onc of the most mysterious cir cumstanccs connected with the keeping of national cemeteries is woman in black who visits them all, " said E. C. Trindle. ''I was in charge of one of these cemeteries for several years, and this woman made two visits that know of. She never comes during the day, and it is purely accidental when We learn that she has been there at all. Hiring carriage at midnight, she will come to the wall. and climbing the in closure will search the entire cemetery by means of a dark lantern for the grave of some relative She has never found it, but every year she makes the round of every national cemetery in the country in the vain hope that some day she will learn where her loved one lies buried. .''-Cincinnati Enquirer.

 There was in tho tramp's appearance a suggestion of tho lethargy that follows Q gorging with free lunch and copious libations of beer that belied his piteous story of not having had anything to cat "sincc yesterday morning." The shades of night were falling fast. and that may have to some extent accounted for tho mistake of the bum in selecting as tho object of his whining appeal McClusky, ono of the best known of the Central office detectives, who was ''sleuthing it" along the Bowery.
 You arc shy dinner and supper for yesterday and breakfast. dinner and supper today Come with me-" said McClusky. and he led tho way into a greasy little beanery from the door of which hung a dingy sign announcing regular meals, cents" Had the va grant known what was in store for him he would have never crossed the thresh- old except under forcible persuasion. Give this man his yesterdays dinner, said McClusky.
 A slice of boiled beef, boiled potato, two slices of bread and a cup of muddy coffee were soon set up. Slowly tho tramp attacked the meal, and McClusky waited. When the dishes were clean, the detective beckoned to tho waiter and said:
 Bring the gentleman last nights supper
 The order was repeated. The tramp began to suspect something, but he thought it the better to act his part. Perhaps his eccentric bcnefactor would give him the price of bed. Vain hopel The supper disposed of. McClusky or dered 'the gentleman's breakfast.
 "See here, pardy. never eats but one meal a day." the latter demurred.
 Ut is not enough. You told mo you were starving, and of an officer of tho New York police force it shall never be said that he allowed a fellow man to starve." And the detective displayed his badge.
 "Supposin I won't eat?' said the tramp sullenly.
 "Then you take n ride. Sec?'
 The trapped bum saw, and he ate his breakfast, and then in great agony he managed to dispose of his dinner. Ma ture would stand no more.
 'See here, pardy. couldn't cat any more, not if got two years for it. hc pleaded in genuine distress.
 McClusky had had his fun, and he excused his victim the supper. As the tramp rolled torpidly out of tho placc he paused at tho door. and with n mur- dcrous glcam in his eye said hoarscly. ''I'll get even wid you for dis, you big g-r'-New York Advertiser.

CoSGREss doesn't meet with much sue cess in enforcing the law providing for the docking of the pay of members when they ava ahsant without leave. As sickness is about the only excuse that exempts an ab- sent member from being docked. almost every member has suffered from some dis ease or other for a greater or less length of time since the law was enforced. and the result of it all is that the amount of money saved to the treasury for each month has scarcely equalled the salary of the mes- senger that carries the accounts to the treasury for audit.
