Strange Coincidence.

The conversation had dwelt for some time on the subject of thought transfer ence. Several persons had come under their notice, and then Gaswell said:
 Let me tell you something which happened to me the other day. don't t know whether you will class it as an example of thought transference or simply as singular coincidence, There was Fred Grimsey. Fred and were close friends five or six years ago, and then he went south, and lost sight of him entirely. Not even letter passed between us The other day, all of sud den, as was walking along the street, I thought of Grimsey. Hadn't thought of him for months, possibly not for a year, but he popped into my mind on this occasion. As nearly as I could re- call, there was nothing which would naturally be expected to bring him into my memory at that time. He came spontaneously, as you might say. Just then turned the corner of street, and right in front of me and coming to- ward mel
 Was Fred Grimsey, of course, said two or three, trying to finish Gaswell's sentence.

With It He Is Almost as Good . Marksman
 as With the Rifle.
 ''The cowboys of New Mexico, Texas and Arizona are all skilled in the art of using the lasso," said Louis Edwards of Santa Fe. II used to be in the ranch ing line myself and once thought I could throw rope as straight as any man living. But that was before had mixed to any extent with the Mexicans. As good as the American cowboys 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 accom- plish. As the Australian stands out pre- eminently 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 his broncho with one hand whirl his rope with un- erring aim with the other, and 1t isn't once in a thousand times that the 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 marksmen with the rife, too, but in this regard the cowboys gre fully their peers. "-Washington PosS

A Delightful Branch or Science With Which
 to Become Acquainted
 They are difficult branch to study, for the descriptions are shrouded in a mysterious language that needs an un- abridged dictionary to translate it, and a good microscope is necessary if one wishes to examine their internal struo- ture and spores But they are delight ful and easy branch of science to be- come acquainted with by observation.
 They are to be found all the year round on stones and fence rails and on trees. They are easy to mount and arc so fascinatingly ugly or beautiful that they mako an interesting collection. In almost any wild bit of country there are from 50 to 70 kinds to be found, and even in the most civilized place, at one's own hearth, there are sure to be seven or eight species growing on the sticks of wood laid for the fire. They are so like and yet unlike that they sharpen the powers of comparison and observation until one feels that the keen bladed knife and pocket lens, which are con- stant companions in a ichen ramble, are dull compared with one's own bright mind
 Lichens-and, by the way, they are pronounced h-kens, not Gtch-ens-grow in three ways, which can be easily dis tinguished at glance There are crus- taceous lichens that grow close to stone or bark and have no leafy part, but are simply few warts or dots or stain. There are foliaceous lichens that lie flat They are green or brown or yellow leathery plants that are something like leaves, and that have brown or red or pink disks on them, and there are fruti- cose hchens that grow upright like lit tic shrubby bushes, with bright col ored knobs.
 Go to any birch tree, and there will be seen within stained circle some cu- rious little black marks like elfin hiero- glyphs. They are the fruit spots of a common hchen called, very appropriate ly, Graphs soripta- Almost any tree one visits will have some irregular cir cular stains upon 1t, especially if the bark is quite smooth, and in the center there will be some brown or black or white specks. It is easy to collect such crustaceous hchens by slicing of a thin strip of the bark, large enough to show the outline of the stain, and by writing the name of the tree from which it was taken on the bark, but it is quite diff ferent matter when one sits down beside bowlder.-New York Independent

SENATOR VANCE MET THE ISSUE.

But the Reporter Failed to Get . Big
 "scoop" All the Same.
 ''I once had an experience, said an old newspaper man at the Press club to a reporter, with the late Senator Vance which shall never forget. It twas during Crisp's first contest for the speak ership, and, as you all probably remem- Der, every newspaper man in town was hustling for inside news. The sources of this, as usual in such cases were very few, and Senator Vance, who was act ing in the capacity of an advisor to the nominating caucus, had to spend most of his time lodging journalists.
 So wary did he become that he dis continued taking his lunch in the senate restaurant and had it served in com mittee room. One day, however, caught glimpse of him passing through one of the lower corridors on the house side. Determined not to let him escape me, I at once hastened forward, and in the most innocent manner possible be- gan asking him about his health, which was rather bad at the time. He answer ed all my questions in the kindest manner possible and was about to leave when I said:
 Oh, by the way, senator, who do you think will get the nomination7'
 I don't know exactly, he replied, but they will have to fight if they want to win
 Certain now of my information, I began to see the letter I was going to re- ceive from the home office, after they had published my big scoop, telling me in the most hattering terms that the paper had decided to raise my salary on account of my good work.
 Which side, senator?' I asked, al- most in a whisper for fear some one would be lurking in the dark reoesses and hear the reply which was to make me the most noted hustler for news in the ranks of journalism
 Both sides, he replied as he disap- peared in the door of committee room.
 "And the letter that I looked for never came. "-Washington Times.

Royalty on Tricycles.

An apparently authorized announce ment that the Princess of Wales and her daughters have taken to riding tricyoles is expected to give tremendous boom to the manufacture of that class of cy- cling machine, which has been in state of decline for several years. Polite so- ciety has always professed to regard cy- cling with scorn as an essentially vulgar and plebeian form of exercise and amuse- ment.' The princess having now set the fashion, fashionable danes and their middle class imitators arc bound to fol- low it. Much qualification is expressed that the princess did not take to the bi- cycle and rational dress, 1" the use and abuse of which have brought great deal of undeserved ridicule upon his form of healthy recreation, to the bene- fit solely of the artists and writers for the comic papers. It is said that the Princess of Wales commenced trioycling by the advice of her doctors. London Letter.

BEssEMeR ON eEssEMER STEEL

Marvellous Quickncss In Converting Cas-
 Iron Into the Hardened Metal.
 In The Engineering Review Sir Hen- " Bessemer has an article on the steel industry which bears his name He re- minds us that third of a century ago Sheffield steel made from the costly bar iron of Sweden realized from $50 to e60 ton. Now, by the Bessemer proo- ess, steel of excellent quality can be made direct from crude pig iron at . cost ridiculously small compared with former prices and in quantities which the old steel workers never dreamed of dealing with at one operation.
 In lieu of the slow and expenaive process of converting wrought iron barr into crude or blister steel by 10 days exposure at very high temperature to the action of carbon, cast iron worth only e3 a ton is, Sir Henry says, con- verted into Bessemer cast steel in 80 minutes wholly without skilled manip- ulation or the employment of fuel, and while still maintaining it's initial heat it can at once be rolled into railway bars or other required forms.
 The article gives vivid picture of all that has been brought about by this revolution in manufacture in which up to our own time there had been nc change since blades of matchless temper were wrought in the forges of DaInas- GUS and Toledo. Steel is now adapted to a thousand purposes of which our ancestors had no conception
 By way of giving some idea. of the enormous production of Bessemer steel now. Sir Henry asks us to imagine 8 wall feet in thickness and 20 feet high, like gigantic armor plate form ed into circle and made to surround London. The iuclosure so made would extend to Watford on the north side, tc Croydon on the south, to Woolwich on the cast and to Richmond on the west. It would contain an area of 795 square miles, and this great wall of Lordon, weighing 10, 500. 900 tons. would just be equal to one years production oi Bessemer steel.

When, after Salamis, Xerxes was in full flight for Asia, and the overcrowd- ed vessel, so the story ran, was laboring in the storm, Xerxes. getting frightened, asked the captain whether there was any chance of safety. None" said the captain, unless the ship Is frightened of some of it's passengers. Whereupon Xerxes, turning to the Persians, ex- claimed. ''Now is the time to show your loyalty to your king, for on you my safety depends And without word the we'll trained courtiers made obei. sance and leaped into the sea
 Thus unburdened, the ship arrived at the land, whereupon Xerxes presented the captain with a golden crown for having saved the kings life, and then ordered his head of for having caused the death of so many noble Persians Westminster Review.

Artidnial GlaciAxa.

An excellent object lesson has been given by Herr Koch, the German phys icist, who wishes to illustrate the for nation of glaciers to his students. He took a square tray, having sloping gutter, down which yellow pitch. re- sembling colophony. which, like ice, is plastic under pressure and brittle under tension, was allowed to flow. the gutter being first lined with very hot pitch so as to give the main flow better hold on the sides. Transverse Assures, like the crevices in a glacier, appear in the middle of the stream, and smaller ones join them from the edges, Where the bed widens longitudinal crevices are produced. d.-London Times.
