An Elastic Appetite.

The American black bear has an APP
petite that may be appropriately term
ed elastic. He will kill thousand
pound steer or capture the tiny field
mouse for meal with equal indiffer-
ence. If pig or sheep is not handy
to his reach, he will dine on a colony
of ants or a nest of wood grubs.
He will feast on dainty birds eggs
or sweet stores of wild honey and on the
foulest carrion with like gusto. He will
fish for the savory trout, but at the
same time snap any warty toad or Shiny
lizard that may happen along that way
He will seek the luscious wild plum
when it has ripened or the wild grape
among the branches where the vine
chambers and bears its fruit, but will
not miss the opportunity to make food of
any snake that may lie in ambush there
for birds that come to peck at the pluins
or grapes. The bear has comprehen-
sive palate. There is scarcely thing
in the animal or vegetable kingdom
that wilinol tickle it.-Ne,c York Herald

A Venice Industry.

Venice owes the accumulation of great
wealth from a new industry to one of
her natives named Joquin. 1t was in
the year 1856 that he observed that the
scales of fish called the bleakfish pos
sessed the property of giving a milky
hue to water After experimenting with
It he discovered that when beads were
dipped into it and then dried they as
sumed the appearance Of pearls. This
covering, however, was easily worn
away, and successive experiments led
to the manufacture of hollow glass
beads, all blown separately, then polish
ed in revolving cylinders and finally
coated inside with the pearly liquid,
the latter being protected with wax.
This branch of industry is carried on
in Venice to this day.-Philodelph'o

WHY Meade Did Not Pursue Lee.

As was observed before, General
Meade was ruled from Washington.
He had done all he was ordered to do,
he had saved the capital. He had done
more; he had beaten a hitherto vic
torious veteran enemy; he had repealed
the invasion. He concluded to let
well enough alone" Had he done
more he might have been superseded:
He had not gained the supremacy OF
Grant. He could not tell President
Lincoln that Secretary Stanton must
mind his own business and not inter-
fere with grand tactics or operations in
the field. These were potent reasons
for General Meade's actions. lie was
too good soldier to exceed his lustruc-
tions; too patriotic to risk too much at
that critical moment; too perfect gen
tleman to assume anything more than
the performance of duty, and hence he
modestly excused his determination to
| follow hard on the retreating Confeder-
ates by reciting the exhausted condl-
ton of his brave veterans of the Army
of the Potomac, who had climaXed that
army's marvellous record OF endurance,
bravery and devotion, physically and
mentally, by winning grand triumph,
without prestige, and after having been
experimental with by dozen COM
mauders, for some of whom they were
forced into lack of respect and conf
dence if not feeling of actual con-
tempt. - Leu. Wallace, IN Blue and

Don't 0verdO Pleasure.

1t seems impossible to impress it
upon the average small boy and girl
that there is actually more enjoyment
in eating slowly and taking small
mouthfuls than in gulping down food
in enormous chunks" and emitting
as far as possible the process of masti-
cation; that there is more pleasure in
playing ball at the rate of one game or
two each day than in playing all day
long for week or two, going to bed
cross and exhausted every night and
wearying of the sport before the vaca-
ton is half gone, and that there is, gen.
orally speaking, more solid " fun" in
not overriding pleasure than there is
in rushing into it at such rate that
the young rioters "tear it TO tatters,"
and themselves, too, in a painfully
short time.-Ne,o York Times.

A Pretty Result.

A beautiful artistic result is achieved
by recently invented method of en-
larging stereopscopic pictures, one that
solves the problem of placing upon the
screen a pair of ordinary stereoscopic
pictures in such a manner that while
the right eye can only see the right
hand picture, and the left eye the left
hand picture, the two shall yet be com
bined and conveyed to the brain as one.
In solving this problem, according to
an English artist, the pictures on the
screen are in full perspective, the vari-
GUS objects forming them standing out
as if possessed of three dimensions and
appearing in their correct relative
planes.
A pair of ordinary stereoscopic trans
parencies are superposed ON the screen
as nearly as possible-the pictures rot
being identical, perfect registration
cannot be obtained-a the light frcm
each picture is polarized, one vertically
and the other horizontally, the combili-
ed picture being viewed through an an
alyzer similar to a small opera glass
This analyzer is SO constructed that
while the right eye can only see the i'm
age portrayed in horizontally polarized
light the left eye can see only that in
vertically polarized light. An impor-
tant feature, in view of the fact that
polarized light is apt to be broken up,
Is the facing of the screen with dull or
matt silver, long series of experiments
having proved this to be the best mate
rial to be used.-Ne,c York Sun.

Firing a Rocket.

One night the Royal Arch lay in the
Downs, the great roadstead, protected
by the natural breakwater of the dread
ed Goodwin sands. An easterly gale
caused the ship to drag her anchors, and
she was in danger of striking the surf
beaten shore. Blue lights were burned
on board as signals of distress, and in
the absence of the captain, who was on
shore, one of the mates decided to fire
a rocket.
He had never fired rocket, and there
was no rocket stand at hand. But he
was an Irishman and, as is the way of
his countrymen, never hesitated to I'M
dertake anything from doubt of his
ability to do it. He determined to let
the rocket off through the iron chin
ney of the ships galley or cooking
house.
AS the sea was rolling over the deck
and washing through the galley it was
only by great efforts that the mate fas-
tened the rocket in the chimney. To
do this he had removed the rocket from
its stick and fastened it upside down.
The rocket, being upside down, failed
to go off when the mate applied light
ed match to the lower end. Then he
tried the uppermost end.
"The explosion, said an English
sailor on board, "blowed him clean
hout of the galley into the lee scuppers.
He kept shouting like 40 blue murders;
I'm deadl I'm dead! I'm dead!' "
The Deal lifeboat placed a crew on
board the drifting ship, and they slipped
her cables, put her before the gale and
brough, her safe to Cowes.- Youth

CuriOsities of Seeing.

Some very remarkable experiments,
which any one, with little care, may
repeat for himself, have recently been
made on the perspective effects of color.
If on a screen of black velvet placed
about 10 feet away large letters are
pasted, some blue and some red the let
tiers will not appear to be at an equal
distance from the eyes. To some per
sons the red letters will seem nearer
than the blue letters, while to others
the contrary effect will be manifested,
the blue letters appearing nearer than
she red ones.
To produce this curious effect both
eyes must be used. When one eye is
closed, the letters are all seen at the
same distance. On opening the other
eye one set of letters Immediately APP
pears to take a position in advance of
the others.
The explanation offered is that a sort
of stereoscopic effect is produced in the
eye itself, depending on color. The i'm
age of a blue object is shifted by the
eye toward one side, and that of red
object toward the other side, the cause
of the shifting being the eccentricity of
the pupil of the eye.
This eccentrlcity may be increased by
holding black screen close to the eye
SO as to cover one-half Of the pupil.
The effect is best viewed 10y screening
both pupils at the same time. If ON
| looking at blue and red letters ON black
background placed 10 or 2 feet away

| blue ones, screen off one-half of the pu-
pill of each eye. ON the outside, and you
will then see the red letters retire be.
hind the blue ones.
If you screen the pupils on the side
toward the nose, You will see the red
letters advance apparently still farther
ahead of the blue letters,
If, on the other hand, you naturally
see the blue in advance, screen t"el -
ner side of your pupils, and the red w'
come to the trout.
1t has lately been shown Gy by. y
d. Waller that very hcautiiul c'lc"t

An Intelligent Bird.

A species of woodpecker inhabits the
driest parts of Mexico, where during
the droughts it must die of starvation
unless it made store. To prevent this
1t selects the hollow stem of a species of
aloe, the bore of which is just large
enough TO hold nut. The woodpecker
drills holes at interval in the stem, and
fills it from bottom to top with the
nuts, the separate holes being apparent
ly made for convenience of access to the
column of nuts within.
The Intelligence which not only con-
structs special storehouse, but teaches
the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts,
which will keep, and not the insects,
which would decay, is perhaps the high
est form of bird reasoning which has
yet been bserved.-London Spectator.

A Winter Fancy.

Against the pane the snow drifts fast;
The cold night wind goes sobbing past
Alone | sit, and close my eyes,
And think, and long for summer skies.
| have a vision-strangely sweet
A field of waving summer wheati
Hills clothed in green from top to basei
A silver lake, across whose face
The breeze makes smiles, while to and fro
The white swans slow and stately go.
An orchard all anush with bloom;
A dark wood, and within its gloom
A thrush that sings once and again
His madly sweet ecstatc strain;
IT'S answered by notes clear and strong,
And all the air is filled with song.
How the birds singl Aud well they may!
who would not sing on such day?
O world so fair, q life so dear,
just now Gods heaven itself seems near!
The dream is past, wake alone;
hear the cold Winds angry moan
And sob aloud, BE swift to bring
Most gracious Lord our lfe's sweet spring"
