Plastic Marble,

Tn one account of Rome the author mentions five or six slabs of plastic marble as being in the possession of Prince Borghese. Being set on end, they bend backward and forward; when laid horizontally and raised at one end they form curve; if placed on a table and a piece of wood or any other substance is laid under them they fall into kind of curve, each end touching the table. Abbe Fortis was told that they were dug up near the town of Mondragon, in the kingdom of Naples. The grain is like cir'sVvf-h--~ -Carrara marble, or perhaps of the finest GreeK.

Course of the Colorado River.

Lieut.. Roberson, U. s. A., recently returned to Los Angeles after making a trip with three companions in q small boat down the Colorado river, from Yuma to the Gulf of California, to ascertain if the channel could be made navigable for commerce. The river. he says, changes it's course in many places every year at the time of the June rise, shifting it's bed often as much as six or eight miles to left or right, and it would be impossible to impound the water so as to secure regular navigable channel The tides, too, about the mouth of the river are most cratic; one of it's features is the great bore, which, near the full of the moon every month, sweeps in solid wall of water several feet high, up the upper part of the gulf and twenty miles into the mouth of the Colorado. An attempt to float any boat in the river's mouth at that time would be fatal. At the mouth of the river the party found the ruins of an old ship yard and the decaying hulks of five steamers. half sunken in the mud, the relics of an attempt made some twenty three years ago to establish line of steamers to ply up the river to Fort

AN AUTUMN REVERE.
The Happy Bride Was Entranced by
 Nature and So Was John.


 Nature and So Was John.
 It was in the month of October and they had been married four weeks. Four blissful weeks they had been to her in that lovely country house among the quiet hills, says the Detroit Free Press.
 Day after day the autumn sun had been painting the trees in wondrous shades of tints, and now the mountains were great banks of rich maroon, and the valleys, flowing silently between, OCT streams ot grass-green waves and scarlet foam.
 This afternoon she sat with him on the long, low piazza and gazed dream fly on the lovely picture spread be- fore.
 At first she talked to him sitting there so comfortable in his great rus tic chair, but her voice 'grew softer and softer until it died away in whispers and she was still.
 The mystic, restful touch of the sweet October days was upon her, and it was blissful peace to sit idly in the sun and look upon the beauties of the scene-silent she, as it was.
 The old life of her girlhood had gone and she stood upon the threshold of this new life-this wOndrous hall of womanhood, extending far, far before her, as were the valleys spread below the mountainside.
 There was upon her soul the inef- fable calm of autumn time, and the magic of the afternoon fascinated her And it was not for her alone, but him; this man who now was part and parcel of her life.
 He, too, she felt, must feel the rap turous thrill, the weird and witching spirit of the hour.
 ''John,' she whispered, softly, as the hum of bee that knocks at the door of every honeyed flower.
 But John did not respond.
 An, he too, is clothed in this charm she thought.
 ''John," she said, again. this time with eager tone, as if to call him from his reverie and share with her the raphsody that moved her very soul.
 But to her ears no answer came to lay it's soft response upon her heart. John was sound asleep.

sunerera from .Glhherlsh Anhdsla. r

The Edinburgh Medical Journal pub- fishes an article which, among other things, discusses the question of the effects of brain changes on speech. A patient is mentioned who suffered from what is called ''gibberish aphasia." This poor man knew as well as any body else exactly what was going on around him. He was perfectly sane in all respects and, if his tongue would have obeyed his understanding, all would have been well. But when he began to speak nothing whatever but absolute ''gibberish" would come out of his mouth. The only coherent words he could utter, and those only at times and by accident, were: If you please, sir" Another patient, who also was sane, could not even read aloud cor rectly from book when the page was open before him. When ask ed, for eX- ample, to read aloud the passage: Ut shall be in the power of the college to examine or not to examine any icen- tiate," he invariably read it thus: ''An the be what in the tomothar of the throthotodoo to m3jorum." This pa tient recovered in due time and spoke like other people.

Little Love Wasted cn Him by His Wild
 Brothers.
 It is well-known fact that wild animals and birds do not care to re- ceive back into their society member that has lived a season with man as a pet. This was illustrated in a noisy manner out near Pleasant Ridge, ac- cording to the story told by a witness to a Cincinnati TimeS-Star reporter "A tame crow" said he, "had for sev- eral years cawed around the farmhouse of our ncighbor, and was seated on a fence away out on the farm cawing when great flock of crows came along and settled in the field. The tame ono grew frantic, cawing and scolding till the attention of the flock was at tract- ed to it. Rising en masse the flock circled around and alighted on the fence about the tame one, which be- came frightened and flew up. It was followed by the others, which crowd ed about it in it's flight and forced it to fly farther and farther away from the farmhouse and over a great wood. There they all set on it and pecl1ed it and clawed the poor thing till it's flight was marked with feathers falling. All this time they kept up terrible caw- ing and calling. They would undOubt- edly have killed the poor bird, but it spied man at work in the woods and dropped down to him. He proved friend, and Jim Crow was soon perched on his shoulder cawing defiantly at his relatives who had cast him from among them, but who now flew to Q respectful distance"
