turned around when he saw something
exceedingly bright drop before him.
R1d he was knocked down. In falling
he struck his head against the rail,
which stunned him for minute. :.
"When he got up he found that the
front part of his legs were severely
scorched. Two of the planks in the

: THE vEsT,suLE. TRAIN.1

IN Arrangement Which Saves the Health
= Of the Railroad Conductor. -:xss... i.
Much has been said about the ad-
vantages and comforts of the magnifi-
cent vestibule trains that run over the
great railroads Of this land. A new idea
was advanced by q veteran railroad
man, who is posted on all meters con-
nected with railroad affairs.
1.-The vestibule train is q great ad-
vantage" said he, ITO the railroad con-
ductor." :
1t has always been noticed, says the
New York Mail and Express, that con-
ductors become sooner or later afflicted
with liver trouble, and consequently
kidney disease. This was largely due
to the fact that they were compelled
continually to pass through their long
trains in the line of their duties. They
were this moment in the hot, perhaps
overheated cars, and the next were
passing over the platform. exposed to
the cold, which was increased by the
speed of the train. These continual and
sudden changes Of temperature have al
ways been found to be very hard on the
health Of the conductors, making the
disease have mentioned very ctmmon.
The vestibule arrangement saves the
trainmen, as well as the passengers,
from such dangerous exposures as they
pass from one heated car to another in
these raw, wintry days.

THE BED or THE ATLANTIC!
A Wondrous Region of Steep Mountain
and Broad PfnifieS.

and Broad PfaifleS.
Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very grad
ually, says the Nautical Magazine. In
fact, for the first $50 miles the gradient
is but six feet to the mile. In the next
twenty miles, however, the fall is over
5000 feet, and 80 precipitous is the sud.
den descent that in many places depths
of 1900 to 1000 fathoms are encoun-
tered in very close proximity to the
1O0-fathom line. With the depth of
1880 to 1900 fathoms the sea bed in
this part of the Atlantic becomes q
slightly undulating plain, whose
gradients are SO light that they show
but little alteration of depth for 1 200
miles. The extraordinary fairness of
these submarine prairies renders the
familiar smile of basin rather inap-
propriate. The hollow of the Atlantic
is not strictly basin whose depth in
creases regularly toward the center; it
is rather a saucer or dish-like one, SO
even is the contour of its bed.
The greatest depth in the Atlantic
has been found some 100 miles to the
northward of the island of st. Thomas,
where soundings of 3,875 fathoms were
obtained. The seas round Great Britain
can hardly be regarded rs forming
part Of the Atlantic hollow. They are
rather q part of the platform banks OF
the European continent which the
ocean has overlooked. An elevation of
the sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice
to lay bare the greatest part of the
North sea and join England to Den
mark, Holland, Belgium and France. A
deep channel of water would run down
the west coast of Norway, and with
this the majority Of the fiords would
be connected. A great part of the Bay
of Biscay would disappear, but Spain
and Portugal are but little removed
from the Atlantic depression. The
1O0-fathom line approaches very near
the west coast, and soundings of 1000
fathoms can be made within twenty
miles of Cape st. Vincent, and much
greater depths have been sounded at
distances but little greater than this
from the western shores Of the Iberian
peninsula.

It was in Honduras, near the Carib-
bean coast, that I first saw the war
rior ant, says . writer in the Louisville
Courier-Journal-those strong insects
which march through the tropical for
ests in armies, attacking every living
creature in their path. One intensely

l did so, wonderingly. There on the
rolling savannah stretched wide,
black belt, extendingfar back into the
deep shadows of the adjacent forest.
1t rose and fell with every formation
OF the ground, and, like huge snake,
slowly crept toward the village.
In countless multitudes they
swarmed over the plain, marching
in compact order like a well-drilled
army. Before them scurried hetero-
genous mass of lizards, grasshoppers,
frogs, beetles and all other manner of
insects and reptiles in a wild scamper
to escape to place of safety. Pres
emily the advance guard reached nv

main column appeared, and soon the
roof, floor, walls and rafters were black

Like the soft rustic of dried grass

Others OF their ilk who had long made

from the house, but only to fall victims
to the surrounding hordes without.
q One large cockroach, noticed, made
plucky fight, but overpowered by
numbers. he gradually relaxed his ef-
forts and was soon dismembered, each
ant carrying off portion of his body
as trophy. The most exciting battle
was with snake about three feet long
which tried to slip away unseen. The
ants quickly surrounded him, however,

Witnessed his unique frog circus Gaz-

Mr. Horton gave a brill whistle, and
simultaneously from every shell

welltrained amphihians formed in
four lines with an old giant at their
head, who. Mr.. Horton said, weighed
six pounds and seven ounces. He was
enormous, and looked as though he
had dincd on his weaker brethren for
generations of tadpoles.
At the word of command they per-
formed all kinds of evolutions, every
leg kicking in perfect unison. Their
movements were astonishing in num-
Der and variety, and on night well

took him over ten years to get this Sc

and then followed jumping contest.
At a given signal each frog in turn
leaped into the water and disappeared.

ton. but their chief accomplishment
you have not seen, or heard, should
say. 1t is the wonder of everyone,
and people have come miles to witness
it. Wait till dusk and then will have
them perform"
At last dusk came and Mr.. Horton
took the reporter out to the waters
edge and gave him seat. He then
brought out a miniature musicians
stand and placed it near the edge OF
the little lake. At a signal note the
frogs came to the surface of the water
and jumped into the stand. They
formed a circle, and at the word OF
command began to sing a tune. Each
frog had been selected because of its
fine croak, and there was q perfect
scale among the voices. The largest
frog sang the deepest bass, and a little
fellow, almost a tadpole, sang a shrill
soprano. 1t was wonderful. MIR. Hor-
ton said that during the warm months
their voices were clearer and sweeter
than at this time of year. When the
frogs began to show signs Of WEAKNESS
their master gave them the signal to
stop, and all sought their homes at the
bottom of the lake. Mr.. Horton tells
many stories Of the intelligence Of his
pets.

SUNSET BLUES AND RE pS.

How the Gorgeous COlOrings OF Twilight
Skies Are Produced. ., :!-i
Observers of the gorgeous sunsets and
afterglOws have been most particularly
struck with the immense wealth of the
various shades and tints of red. Now,
if the glowing colors are due to the
presence Of dust in the air, there must
be somewhere display of the colors
complementary to the reds, because the
dust acts by selective dispersion Of the
eolOrs.
The small dust particles arrest the d.
! rect course OF the rays of light and reflect
them in all directions, but they princi-
pally reflect the rays of the violet end
Of the spectrum. while the red rays
pass on almost unchecked. Overhead
deep blue reigns in awe-inspiring glory.
As the sun passes below the horizon.
and the lower stratum Of air, with its
larger particles of dust which reflect
light, ceases to be illuminated, the
depth and fullness of the blue most in
tensely increase. This effect is pro-
duced by the very fine particles of dust
in the sky overhead being unable to
scatter any colors unless those of short
wave-lengths at the violet end Of the
spectrum. Thus we see. above, blue in
its intensity without any Of the red
colors, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
When, however, the observer brings
his eyes down in any direction except
the west he will see the blue mellowing
into blue-green, green and then rose
color. And some Of the most beautiful
and delicate colors are formed by the
air cooling and depositing its moisture
on the particles of dust, increasing the
size Of the particles till they are sufi-
GENTLY large to stop and spread the red
rays, when the sky glows with strange
aurora-like light.

u Partisan Swindler Who Took . Novel
Means OF Raising the Wind.
Gillet, a professional mendicant Of
Paris, has the peculiar merit of being
the organizer of trick for raising
funds which was unknown and UNI
dreamed of in the philosophy of the
ablest representatives of the old Cour
des Miracles, says writer in the
London Telegraph. He pretended to
hang himself from a tree seven times
during the summer, nnd on each occa-
sion he was cut down from his gibbet
by Good Samaritans, who invariably
sent round the hat for him ON the spot.
In some instances the rescuers may
have been Gillet's confederates, but &C.
cording to what can be gathered he
usually preferred to work alone. Hav-
ing selected fine day for his opera
tions, Gillet dressed himself carefully
and went to the woods of Boulogne or
Vincennes. He next made choice of q
tree near where young children were
playing, and having put q moose round
his neck strung himself up. Then he
groaned and attracted the children,
who ran in alarm to their mothers or
nurses, until in a moment there was q
crowd around him. Men summoned to
the spot, and sometimes the women
who we're called, extricated the artful
mendicant from his apparently peril
GUS position. He was extended on the
grass, his hands were rubbed, cordials
were pressed to his lips and smell
ing bottles put under his nose.
When he revived the first question put
to him was naturally: Why did he
do it? Pointing to pocket of his coat
he would say: Here is q letter which
will explain ALI" The document be-
ing opened contained a communication
to the effect that Gillet wanted to
hang himself of his own free will. His
desire to die was caused by restitution,
and he had not eaten for two days. A
collection being made for the sufferer
he instantly regained the use Of his
limbs, and before leaving his generous
sympathizers treated them to a brief
photographed sketch, which set
forth that he was q respectable young
man from the country who had been
stranded in Paris and could find no

mentioned place he had the good for
tune to be cut down just as a generous
Paris banker was passing by, who gave
him liberal donation. Gillet natur-
ally took care to tie his moose in man

which he intended without imperiling
