Mines Under the Sea.

We have all heard about the British coal and iron mines, the galleries of which extend far ont under the Allan tic ocean, but there are perhaps very few Americans who know that the most extensive under-ocaan mining operations in the world arc earned on along the Pacific coast Of this conti- nent. At Nanaimo, British Colum bia, there is a coal mine the shaft Of which extends several hundred feet below the ocean bed at that point. All the galleries of the mine, aggregat;ng something like twelve miles in length, are entirely under the ocean.

Botanical Oddities.

Those who have given any particular attention to the study of botanical od- dities know that the Brazilian flower known as the running antelope is so called because it's white petals have 6 series of well-defned darl1-colored lines and dots, in which the imagina- tion can readily trace the form of an antelope, with the limbs outstretehed and head thrown back, seemingly flee ing for it's life. Tn the ''caricature plant" one species has the initiative form on the petals, and another has it outlined in the ribs and shading of the leaves. This last mentioned curiosity bears q remark ably weil-executed likeness of the duke of Wellington. and has on that account been named Arthur and His Nose.

STUDENTS IN GERMANY.
The Scholar There Holds q Higher Place

The Scholar There Holds a Higher Place
 Than He Does in America.
 ''In a Germans life at German uni versity," says writer in the Boston Commonwealth, 'I incline to think university work is more important factor than in the life of 6 student here with us; that is to say, if he does any work at all He gives it a more prominent position in his social life than is the custom with us; he chooses his friends often from among his CO., workers in Q way that is rare with us; he discourses on his studies in leisure moments as few Americans would do at home; a good deal of his social life may be based upon his interest in this or that branch of science. This seems strange to us; but it is to great ex- tent to German in a German universi- ty, and 1t is apt to be doubly so to an American. For the American cannot avail himself of the various kinds of diversion that attract the attention of the German, and often he would not desire to do so if he could, through lack of interest or lack of time. He has come to Germany for limited time and he wishes to make the most of it. But it is not merely that it is practically convenient for an American to keep his work constantly before his eyes.
 There is another cause which goes to account in a measure for the schol- arly atmosphere. I think it will be al lowed by all who have studied in Ger many or lived there for time that university work holds there a far more important place, in more ways than one, than 1t does with us. With student in America, in his undergrad uate days at least, college work is pretty well jostled and even put to the wall by athletics, society or hundred other things. So it is in Germany with a certain class of students. But with the majority the university takes the place of the professional school with us, and here, even with US, work is generally given the first place. With the German student university work need not fear athletics as rival, nor indeed much of anything except the
 
 with these corporations it is perfectly understood that each is to take it's turn. For two or three years the corps has full swing; then the university.
 Ut is hardly worth while to go fur ther in the matter to point out the com parative positions which scholarship holds in German civilization and in American. I am, on the whole, of opinion that in Germany the scholar is regarded with greater respect in every way than with us, and it seems to me very natural that this should be so for very many reasons. Recognizing it as a fact, one can very easily see how shop should be far more constant factor in social intercourse in Ger many than here at home, and especial ly with an American. He himself re- gards his own work = and, by cour- tesy, that of his fellows-as most iR- portant thing. In the society to which he finds adrnittance he sees that it is also most important, or at least highly honorable. A man is thus put into an attitude with respect to his work that is of great value to him"

A resident of Irvington, Y. J., lost a child last year, and the doctor who at tended the little one during it's illness was recently nominated a village trus- tee. The father Of the child had taken a violent dislike to the doctor, and tried by every means to defeat the candidate, and when he heard that the doctor had triumphed he decorated his horse and dog with crepe and drove through the streets carrying an Amer ican flag at half-mast.

An exchange prints a story which may be commended to the attention of all public speakers who have the dan gerous gift of Guency. A young law yer talked for several hours to a jury in Indiana, to the weariness of all who were obliged to listen. At last he sat down and the opposing counsel, white-haired veteran, rose to reply
 Your honor" said he, Il will follow the example of my young friend who has just finished and submit the case without argument With that he took his seat and the silence was oppres- siye.

River Colne the Birthplace or the Grace
 tUl British Cutter.
 Pearl and Louise were the first yachts with the distinctive cut ter-rig, writes Capt A. J. Kenealy in Outing. The river Colne was, in point of fact, the birthplace of the cutter and of the graceful cutter-stern.
 The marquis of An glesey may be said to have been the parent of Brit ish yachting, and his'descendants have been glorious patrons of the sport. The old marquis christened his son, Lord Alfred Paget, by dipping him head first into the sea while q child in long clothes, from the deck of the Pearl Every yachtman knows what Lord Alfred did for the sport in Eng land, and how capitally the prince of Wales and he worked together in de- veloping it. Lord Alfred had the full management of the princes yachts, Alexandria and Dagmar, both built for his royal highness by John Harvey.
 Lord Alfred, too, was the first to recognize the advantage of the auxil- iary yacht, and John Harvey designed for him the Xantha, the first of her kind ever built, and she was followed, in 1874, by the Sunbeam. Lord Bras sey's boat, made famous by Lady Bras sey's facile pen.
