The bands. as we will call them, assume
very different shapes; thus one observed in
1879 looked like an immense arch, high at
the upper portion, while at each side, al
If guarding it, were two luminous perpen-
dicular columns of light, the sentinels OF
space. In another the band was divided
into three or more intervening sraces,
dotted with myriads of twinkling stars.

millions of minute crablike crustaceans
called the Merida arma!a, a long, shrimp
like little creature with long tentacle, or
feeler, covered with delicate hairs, upon
each side of its head, and long, sharply
pointed tail.
Living in such a cold and dark country,
the little animal was provided with light
of its own. and when placed under the
microscope it blaZed like a veritable gem

body as we see il in fire, now fading

little creatures were found, living there

The drawer stuck. Again and again she
threw herself frantically against it with all
her weight. Not an inch could she stir it.
The vessel had strained and twisted as the
weight of water pulled her downward
and in strain;ng had caused a change in
the position of the casing of the drawer.
At last It yielded to her efforts aud she
pushed it close and sprang to the door.
TO her horror she could move the door
no more than il it had been part of the
solid wall. The same strain which had
bound the drawer held fast the door. and
she was shut up like rat in trap within
the narrow limits of her little cabin.
With villa eyes she looked around at the
little room which had but an hour before
seemed so coy aud comfortable; she
looked upon the little tokens of love and
friend hip bich decorated the tiny apart
ment to which she had come with So
many happy anticipatiOns of future joy,
and he sight of those tokens Of love
added another shade of horror to the fate
which menaced her.
Again ana again she dashed at the door,

In an instant. She determined to save
them, as it would take but a moment, as
they lay iD the corner OF drawer just iu-
side her cabin door. Rushing back to the
cabin she pushed open the door of her
cabin and ATTEMPTED 10 pull out the drawer
in which her valuabes were lying. The
door opened back against the drawer and
she was obliged TO close it before she
cOuldaopen the drawer.
Pushing Il smut she pulled open the
drawer, grabbed the sack of gold and the
case which held her valuables, she pushed
at the drawer to close it again, that she
might open the door and escape from the
sinking vessel.

Last week the attention of people pass
ing down Market street was attracted by
the contrast between the youthful face and
the snowy hair of a sweet-faced lady who
for several days was seen on that thor
oughfare. Judging by her face she could
not be more than 80 years of age at most,
but if you formed your opinion of her
from the hair which crowned her with
thickly waving snow-white mass of curls
and coils she might be at least twice that
number of years. Her complexion was as
fresh as that of girl in her teens. No
wrinkles marred the fair surface of brow,
cheek or neck, and envious time had not
touched in his tell-tale lines at the corners
Of her eyes.
This contrast between face and hair
it was which drew SO many curious eyes
after her, and many and varied were the
suggested reasons for the strange anomaly.
1t was as if drift Of winter snow should
