A MERE ACCIDENT.
Was Responsible for the Fact That Ten
nysOn's "Timbuctoo' Got the Prize.

Was Responsible for the Fact That Ten
nysons "Timbuctoo" Got the Prize.
Mr.. James Payn tells an amusing
story of the way in which Tennyson's
'Timbuctoo' won its prize at the uni
versity, says the New York Tribune.
The examiners for the year were
three-the vice chancellor, who had a
great reputation but a violent temper
and did not write very well; classical
professor who knew no poetry that was
not in a dead language, and mathe-
NAUTICAL professor 1t was agreed that
each should signify by the letters ''g"
and 'b" for good" and "bad'O what
he thought of the poems and the vice
bad the manuscript first
When the mathematical professor
got them he found "Timbuctoo" scored
all over with ''g's," and though he
could not understand why, nor indeed
worth while as he afterward said; the
the fact was that he was afraid to ask
the vice his reasons, so he wrote ''g" on
the poem also. The classical professor
thought it rather funny that both his
predecessors should admire so unintel-
ligible production; but, as he said,
''he did not care one iota about the
matter" and so wrote ''g" on it also;
and as no other poem had three ''gs"
the prize was unanimously awarded to
the author of 'Timbuctoo."
After all was over the three examin-
ers happened to meet one day and the
vice, in his absolute fashion, fell to
abusing the other two for admiring
the poem. They replied very natu-
rally and with some indignation that
they should never have dreamt of ad-
hiring it if he himself had not scored
it over with "g's." "G's," he said,
they were 'q's' for queries, and l
could not understand two consecutive
lines of it."
Mr.. Payn says that there was a
queer resemblance between himself
and another Trinity man. Not only
was often addressed by persons who
took me for him, but people used to
ask, apropos of nothing, whether
knew So-and-So. | remember making
a considerable impression on a chance
passenger in a railway train on the
Cambridge line, who was, staring at
me rather hard, by suddenly observ.
ing: No, sir. l do not know Mr.. So
and-So.' 1t had been the very ques-
! ton he was going to ask me, but my
anticipation of it seemed to him so un
canny that he got out at the next
station" -

the popular voice an evidence of a
growing sense of moral and intel
lectual self-respect among the common
people of the nations of the world. We
are coming to the time when the
peasant and the artisan will inquire into
the merits of quarrel in which they
are ordered to sacrifice themselves
They may refuse to stapd up and be
shot down without asking question,
and not be so easily led away by APP
peals to that spurious patriotism which
has ever been the device 'by means of
which ambitious monarchs and willy
statesmen have sought to make their
quarrels those of the communities.
Hitherto we have had democracy in
name rather than in fact. The way in
which the sayings and doings of mon
archs and statesmen are chronicled by
the press; the manner in which such
people have been allowed to act with
out question upon affairs of the gravest
concern to humanity: the extent to
which they have been able to count
upon the support of the people in any
war they might resolve upon; the lev
ity often shown by them toward the
interests of the people-without whose
support the most powerful among them
would be reduced to the level of common
clay-in such matters we have proof of
the extent to which we are still gov
erned by men whose chief claim to gov
ern often consists of the fact that their
ancestors did the same before them.

J THE WASP'S MISSION.
1t Is an Insect That Has Its Usefulness
I'm Life

Lest people, especially those who
have been brought into contact with
the wrong end of one, will be disposed
20 doubt the utility of the wasp, that
handsome insect that creates so much
terror when it invades our rooms or
buzzes about our heads in country
lanes. Yet really even the wasp has
its use, and naturalists tell us it plays
q very important part iii the economy
OF nature, says Golden Days.
What hawks, kites, ravens, owls and
birds of prey generally are in the case
of field-mice and other small destruc-
tive animals, the wasp is to the grubs
and other pests that injure plant life.
The wasp is very useful, particularly
in orchards. The young pup8 in the
nest are fed entirely on the grubs
which infest the fruit trees, and but
for the activity of the wasp these pests
would become so numerous as to do
serious injury to the tree.
1t is quite true that the wasp also
levies toll upon the fruit, but, as his
labors have contributed largely to the
salvation of the crop, that portion
which he eats should not be grudged
him.
1t should be understood that a WASP
IS quite harmless, unless it is forced tc
defend itself; then it is undoubtedly
violent, and makes free use of the
weapon which nature has given it K
use in fighting its enemies.
But, if you leave it alone, a wasp viii
not sting, although, of course, it i
safer not to let it get too near you, les
1t mistake you for an enemy, with ne
nleasant consequences

RAPID STONE SAVING.
The Process as Accomplished by Chilled
Metallic Shot.

Metallic Shot.
The use of chilled metallic shot has
completely revolutioned the stone-saw-
ing trade. by reason of the rapidity
with which the work can now be ac-
cOmplished as compared with the times
when the saving material consisted
only of quartzose sand. 1t is obvious
that in saving granite, for instance,
the sand alluded to, not being harder
than quartz, was incapable of doing
much work, as that mineral exists SO
abundantly in granite. What was want
ed was something harder than quartz.
Several minerals answered the purpose,
among which were corundum (emery)
and the diamond. The former of these is
occasionally used for saving, and large
ly for rubbing granite, marble and
the like, preparatory to the polishing
process; the latter has for some years
been employed to limited extent for
saving the hardest kinds of stone, and
diamond disks may be found in the
workshops of every lapidary. But
these minerals are rather expensive,
especially the latter, and until within
recent years sharp sand was still almost
universally employed. Then a new
material, known as chilled shot, was
introduced and was rapidly taken up.
During our visits to various granite
centers in 1861 we found it had al
ready gained firm foothold, as the
rate of saving was greatly increased
by its use; it was also very economical
In working, and has been much
employed to this day. The fore
going observations were suggested
by some samples and a trade descrip-
ton of "Krushite," which is said to be
new material. 1t appears to be
chilled metallic shot, and is very SINH
lar to, though probably not identical
in composition with. what we saw in
use some eight years since. At any
rate, the use of chilled metallic shot
for saving hard stone is by no means a
new idea. "Krushite" is said to be
capable of saving blocks of granite at
the rate of four inches and hard grit
stone at nine inches in depth per hour,
with twelve blades in the frame.
1t is manufactured in several differ
enC sizes, the largest NdDOuI Jlle SIZE u
small rabbit shot being suitable for
sandstone and the smallest fine DUST
tor the rubbing bed. The material is
used in sand blast apparatus in lieu of
sand. and in substitution for diamonds
in boring and drilling. 1t is described
ds being absolutely without points or
edges, though we do not find this state
ment borne out by samples sent us.
However, there can be no question that
the chilled metallic shot is by far the
best and most economical material
hitherto discovered for saving the
hardest descriptions of stone and for
use in the initial stages of rubbing.
1t must be handled with great
care, though, in the manufacture of
marble. Only the other day we saw a
beautiful slab utterly ruined during
the final polishing with putty powder,
by reason of a few chilled shots having
found their way under the felt pol
isher, with the result that the smooth
surface of the stone was deeply scored
before the machinery could be stopped.
That. of course, is sheer carelessness;

THE READY LASSO.
With 1t the Cowboy Can Hit the Mark a.
With "a Rifle.


The cowboys of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona are skilled in the art of
using the lasso, said citizen of Santa
Fe, recently. | used to be in the ranch
ing line myself, and once thought 1
could throw rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before L
mixed to any extent with the Next
cans. As good as the American cow
boys are, they can't hold candle to a
greaser when it comes to the roping
business. They can do things with hemp
that no other mortals can ever hope to
accomplish. AS the Australian stands
out prominently in throwing the
boomerang, SO does the ignorant son of
the land of God and liberty exceed all
other men in this one accomplishment.
A Mexican will chase steer at full
speed, and while he guides the broncho
with one hand whirl his rope with I'M
erring aim with the other, and it isn't
once in a thousand times that tho
moose will fail to catch just where the
rider meant. A favorite trick with
them is to stick lot of long-handled
knives in the ground close together
within the limits of narrow circle
and bet with outsiders that they can
ride past at race-horse speed and pick
up any one of the knives designated
with rope. They are good marks
men with the rifle, too, but in this re-
gard the cowboys are fully their peers.

CATCHING A GLANCE.
How an Artist Obtained an Expression on
Elsmarcis's Face.


Eismarc!<'s Face.
Mr.. Smalley, in the Fortnightly Re-
view, gives an interesting explanation
of the expression on Bismarck's face
in the last portrait Of him, painted by
Lenbach, the great artist. This look
is full of power and purpose, afiame
with anger and resolve, lightning in
the eye and the mouth hard as IRON"
So might he have looked thunder
ing at an obstinate majority in the
reichstag, or trying to bend hostile
nation to his purpose.
But this is not the explanation of his
expression. Prince Bismarck loves
singing birds, and hates the crows,
their enemies. One day he was walk!
ing with Herr LCnbach in the woods,
and caught sight of a member of this
detested tribe.
His sudden glance of anger arrested
the attention of the artist, who, as
soon as he got home, transferred it to
canvas. Thus it was not the affairs of
nations which were responsible for the
look; not the obstinacy of his country
men nor the antagonism of the French
which will send the great chancellor's
features down to posterity clothed in
tragedy.
1t was simply the fact that he caught
sight of an insignificant bird who has
no reverence for the sweet singers of
the feathered world.

REIGN OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
An Assurance That Future Wars Must
Have Reasonable Grounds.

We are frequently told by cynical
critics that democracy is on its trial,
but when the democracy demands the
abolition of standing armies, or urges
a mutual disarmament, says the West
minister Review, it gives a good answer
to critics of this type. Such facts are suf-
ficient in themselves to enable us to
contrast the blind and stagnant sell
fishness of callous autocracies with the
advance possible under broader forms
of government which stimulate the
progress of our race by putting the

Action of Snake Venom on the Blood.

At the last meeting of the Medical
Society of Victoria, DR.. J. w. Barrett
gave practical demonstration of the
effects of injecting snake venom into
the blood of living rabbits. His ex-
periments confirmed beyond doubt the
results obtained by Mr. Martin, of Sgd
ney, and stated by him in the journal
of Physiology last year, showing that
rapid intravascular in lection of sutfi-
cient dose (O.OOO432 gramme per kilo)
cansed intravascular coagulation of
the blood. The respiration ceased at
death, but the heart continued to beat
for some minutes When the poison is
injected slowly into the tissues instead
of into the blood, in the same dose,
the blood fails to clot in the body, and
only very slowly, or not at all, when
drawn. In these respects snake venom
acts in exactly the same manner as
nucleo-albumen, and it appears prob
able that the snake venom produces
nucleo-albumen when injected, though
from what source has yet to be deter
mined. These results tend somewhat
to confirm the original statement of
Prof Halford, that snake venom acts
primarily as blood-poison.

closes her eyes when playing. This
she explains: People in the audience

Terrible Scenes that characterize the
War Over COrea-Japs Moving
Toward Peiin.

Shanghai, Oct. 2. - The anti.foreign
feeling at Pekin is increasing hourly
and the authorities find it difficult to re-
press outbreaks among the Chinese popu-
lation. The leading Chinese representa-
tives at Pekin fear if the japanese march
upon Pekin the capital will be captured,
as the Chinese soldiers gathered to de-
Tended are dissatified and unreliable. 1t
is reported that Ii Hung Chang has re-
ceiyed orders not to proceed to Corea
THE JAPANESE FLEET.
Tien Tsin.-It is officially announced
that 5000 Japanese troops have arrived
close to Passiet Bay, near the Russian
frontier. Previous to this announcement
it was reported hero that the Japanese
fleet had been sighted, September 29, ten
miles from Hai-Kwan, 200 miles
from Pekin. Large bodies of Chinese
troops have been drafted to that district
during the last few days to prevent the
japanese from landing.
BLOODY MESS.
London--The British naval officer at.
tached to the Chinese naval squadron.
which was engaged in the fight off the
mouth of the Yalu river, has written to
the Graphic as follows:
"On board tho Chen Yuen the fighting
was awful. The decks and the space
around the guns were strewn with human
fragments. Three out of FIVE men work
ing on four-ton gun were blown up by
shell from the Japanese wrrship Naniwa.
The fourth gunner was shot while trying
to escape from the turret, and the fifth
fired three rounds at the Naniwa, one
shell entering the engine room of the
japanese ship and another crashing
through her forebridge.
"The Naniwa then hauled off. The Chi
nese admiral rewarded the surviving
gunner with present of 1000 taels. A
shell glanced from the deck of the Chen
Yuen and went through the tower, shat
tering everything therein. The lieutenant
speaking through the tube leading to the
engine room was blown into atoms and

HEAD WAS LEFT HANGING
on the speaking pipes. Huge fragments
of armor we're carried on board by the
shot, crushing large number of sailors
into shapeless masses. The European
engineer, cropping about in an endeavor
to repair the steam pipe, was drenchei
from head to foot with the blood of his
assistants, who were disemboweled by the
shot from the enemies ship The writer
expresses the opinion that if the Euro
pean rulers could have seen the decks of
the Chen Yuen they would have fore
sworn war henceforth and forever.
