 MEDIA, Pa, Jan. 1.-Swithin c. Short lidge, principal of the famous Media Acad- emy for Boys, while out promenading with his wife, who was bride of only a month, shot and instantly killed her. The couple had been walking along the street arm in arm when Professor Shortlidge, without warning, drew a revolver from his pocket and fired six shots into her head, killing her instantly and scattering her brains on the street.
 After the awful deed he threw himself on the body and raved in a terrible manner until removed to prison by policeman.
 Professor Shortlidge has shown evidence of failing mental power during the past year. Recently he suffered from all attack of the grip, from the effects of which he has not wholly recovered. This had de- pressing effect upon him. eliminating in his sudden insanity and the murder of his bride,

THE MIDDLE AGED WOMAN.

Fashion of late years has done much to-
ward improving the appearance of the
middle aged woman. 1t was not SO many
years ago that the mother of ayoung lady
daughter was always attired in sombre
colors. For her to be smartly gowned was
not considered correct form Black, gray
and the dull shades ofheliotrope were per-
missible, but the brighter colors were en-
tirely out of the question for the middle
aged woman's gown.
Now a decided change has taken place,
and it is not strange to see both mother and
daughter appear in costumes off the same
piece House gowns of white crepon,
trimmed with violet ribbons, are charm
ing when worn by a woman with silvery
hair The grenadies make appropriate
afternoon toilets. The Louis Quinze jackets
are well adapted to the elderly woman of
to-day, and they possess a stately style to
which none of her garments 90 years ago
ever owned.
And she is not compelled to wear a morn
ing cap either Her hair may be fashionably
arranged and her bonnet as chic as her
granddaughter's. OF course the woman of
80 does not appear in cherry colored gowns
but touch of color is quite allowable.
Pclerines of black lace are made over a
colorcd foundation, and "A vest of some
soft tint only has "a tendency to make the
gown more becoming.
Age demands more attention than youth
and the elderly woman of to-day realize
this and dresses accordingly.-Fashion

ARCTIC CLIMATE.

The reissue of Lord Kelvin's addresses
on geology and general physics revives
discussion as to the probable cause of
the warm climate once experienced in tie
Arctic reg ions. That such warm climate
did prevail at one time in those regions is
beyond doubt; for not only are remains of
forest trees found within Is degrees of
the North Pole, with every evidence of
their having grown their, but the return of
the Arctic expendition in 1875 brought
home proofs of very warm climate,
probably as warm as in the topics, within
degrees of the North Pole. The explana-
ton of this condition which Lord Kelvin
suggests is this:
The Artic ocean is land-locked seq,
and the effect OF the surrounding coasts
is to hem the ice in and prevent free oceanic
circulation, while the land itself serves to
receive and accumulate snow wherewith
to load the nelghboring sea with a thin
layer of surface ice But if the land was
lowered 1000 feet the sea would be open,
but for few islands, and the water deep
enough for plenty of warm currents to flow
i'll sufficient to clear the ice away and keep
it clear Even now the ice seems to tie
only five feet thick, evidently melting away
underneath.
Having regard to all the defenses-
the heat capacity of moist air the formation
of dew, and such like-it is suggested that
the same conditions as protect a large con-
tinent in temperate zones from destructive
cold during summer night would prevent
even SO much as hoar frost on small island
at the very pole dusing its whole winters
six monts night, if it were surrounded by
"a deep ocean with no land to obstruct free
circulation between it and tropical seas. In
Lord Kelvin's judgment, glaciatiou is
primarily due to elevation; and changes i'll
climate principally caused by variations of
elevation
The theory that shift in the earth's
axis is responsible for such climatic changes
finds no favor with Lord Kelvin, who de-
clares that there is no evidence, either
geological or astronomical, of any con-
siderable shifting of the position of the
poles As to the warmer temperature at
one time prevalent all over the earth, the
simples and in every way the most probable
hypothesis is a warmer SUM-

FAMED DAMASCUS.

About half mile from Damascus lies
the little village of Salahiye, built at the
foot of IA steep barren hill named Kasium.
Mount kasium is held by the Moslems in
high veneration as a holy place, for here,
they say, lived Adam and Eve; here arose
to heaven the smoke of the sacrifices of
Cain and Abel, and here mankind first
learned what it is to die, for on this spot
Cain slew his brother. When the murder
Gus deed was committed, the fratricide
took the dead body on his back and bore
it across the Valley of Barada, to bury it
finally on Nellie Abel From this, the first
murder ever committed, comes a very an
cient tradition, the name of the ncighbor-
ties blood speaker or pool of blood y
says the Franciscan Tertiary.
The Moslems have vet another reason
for holding Mount kasium sacred, for
here Abraham who is called in the Koran
the friend of God" came to the
conviction that there is but one God.
One of the most beautiful passages
of the Koran is devoted to the mar
ration. Mahomet says of Abra ham: "And
! what dark nj ght came over him he looked
up to star and said: That is my Lord,
but when the star went he spakc: Truly
my Lord hath not guided me nor means
me to be other than the rest of crring
men And when he saw the sun arise
! again, he lifted his voice: That is my
| Lord, for he is greater But when the
sun also sank, he said: "Oh, We people
naught have to dc with what YOU idola,
| trously adore, for l. without ccasing, keel
my countenance turned toward Him who
alone created heaven and earth from moth
ing; and | belong not to those who com
pare anything else to Him
Damascus is looked on by the Arahians
as an earthly reflex of heavcn-as the
Garden of Eden. TIe town, surrounded
bv miles of orchards, lies on the western
border of the great Syrian desert and i:
enclosed by mountains like walls of rocl
on three sides and on the fourth lies the
great barren desert. Here, in the valley
like Il garden of God, lies the fruitful
oasis of Damascus. The river Barda her,
