Another New Flying Machine.

A wealthy German scientist, Otto
Lillienthal by name, has, it is said,
eventually solved the problem of
aerial fight. With his newly pat
ented machine this daring aeronaut
boldly leaped from tower on Il steep
and stony hill $40 feet high. After
falling 80 feet he began working his
wings and soon reached an altitude
of 200 feet, then took an exhiarat-
ting sail downward and landed in
safety on the vale below. 1t is also
maintained that he describes circle,
returning to his starting point without
difficulty. The most plausible fea-
ture in this alleged effort lies in it's

He hired house in a quiet little

He evidently married again, for
about this time he painted a picture

Rembrandt's last work was a por-

was sixty-two years old. During his
life he did wonderful amount of

made 365 etchings, besides hundreds
of other drawings.

had the body brought to the studio

ROYAL CHILDREN,

The six little Princes of Germany
are all great athletes. They go
through exercises which are calcu-
lated to develop and strengthen the
muscles and do everything to make
them grow into strong men and fine
soldiers-which is their fathers
greatest ambition for them. The
Crown Prince is slim blonde boy of
twelve, who has already entered the
army and has his first degree. The
youngest boy is five years old and is
the handsomest of the royal princes.
His name is Oscar Frederick, the
second Prince, who was named for
his much beloved grandfather, is also
a fine looking boy. The Crown Prince
Wilhelm is the plainest and most
delicate looking of the royal children.
The new baby, Wilhelmina Maria
Augusta Leopoldine (and few other
names, too). is very ordinary look
ing baby, not half as pretty as your
little baby brother or sister Wilhel-
nina has very little hair on her round
little head, a decided pug nose and Il
very long upper lip, but at present,
being the only young lady in the
family, she is the belle of the palace.
The young Princes all ride, skate,
dance and swim well, and so far have
occupied very few hours of their days
in the school room. They are all
rather musical and are very fond of
having school room theatricals, as
well as visiting the theater, which

THE THIRSTY STARS.

A long time ago, seven little stars
came out one. night to play hide and
seek in their beautiful sky-garden,
and oh, such twinkling time as they
did have, hiding behind mother
father stars, and the pretty floating
cloudlets
First one would wink and then
another, which meant, "Come, |
have found such good hiding-place. 3"
Then they would all blink, which
meant Ready So they kept wink
ing and blinking until they grew very
warm and thirsty. Just then they
remembered that there were no drink
ing-cups in the sky-garden. What
was to be done? OF course they did
not sit down and cry-for they were
brave little stars, and always tried 20
find out a happy way to do every
thing, even if it did seem hard.
So they twinkled and blinked,
And laughed and winked.
which meant, thinking what to do.
"I've got it - said one bright little
twinkler; I'VE can all join hands and
make dipper; four can form cup,
and three the handle, and we can get
a drink from the first cloudlet that
comes floating by"
So they all joined hands and made
the dipper just in time to fill it with
water from some pretty white clouds
that were on their way to cloud-land.
After having enjoyed a cool drink,
the stars thought Lady Moon looked
thirsty, and they decided to fill the
dipper again and take it to her. She
was delighted, for she really wanted
a drink; but oh what do you think
happened? Lady Moon was very, very
cold, and the moment she touched
the dipper to take a drink it caught
her breath, and the seven little stars
were frozen together in the form of a
dipper, forever; and if you try / am
sure you can see them every bright
starlight night, twinkling merrily in
their beautiful home in the sky

So much has been written about
the crystal gown of the Princess
Eulalie that its expense and ap-
pearance are matters Of interest.
Glass cloth is from $50 to $40 yard,
and its width that of silk. Although
made from seemingly brittle and
frail substance, it is exceedingly
durable and can be sponged with
soap and water without the least
injury. 1t looks like a heavy,
glistening, shimmering silk, its sur.
face taking up the light in mar
velous way. Not for the toilets Of
fair women, however, is this great
discovery most suitable and valued.
1t properly belongs to house decora-
ton, its rich folds being especially
adapted to curtains portieres. aud
wall drapings. Housewives will de-
light to know that neither moths,
dust nor sun can harm these nettings
that catch and hold rainbows, and
get dip in cold water will at once
restore their pristine freshness and
beauty. A great field for this new
industry. Herald.

A FORTY-FOOT SHARK.
Believed to Be the Largest Specimen
Ever Captured.

A monster basling shark, probably
the largest ever captured Oh this
coast, was caught recently near
Monterey, Cal, and towed ashore.
S. NJ. Duarte, fisherman, had set
his nets for small fish the night be-
fore. and accompanied by his partner
set out this morning to take in the
catch. Upon their arrival they were
somewhat startled and vexed to find
that their nets had disappeared from
view. Rowing around for while
they at last discovered fragments of
the nets, and when they found some
of the floats they proceeded to inves-
tigate.
Slowly they hauled in the lines to
which the floats were fastened, and
after Juggling away for while up
came long dark object in tangle
of netting. 1t was the carcass of a
basking shark that came to view.
There lay the big fish with the waves
ripping against its dun sides for a
length of forty feet. Then the fisher
men began the tedious task of re-
covering the remains of the nets in
which the fish had entangled itself,
With much difficulty they accom-
plished this. A rope was passed
through the large fms and the fisher
men towed their prize to the Mon
terey wharf. They made the trip of
half a mile in just three hours and
thirty-five minutes.
1t will be remembered that bask-
ing shark was caught between Santa
Cruz and Monterey some months ago,
and it is generally thought that this
is it's mate. This supposition is be-
lieved, as these fish go in pairs. For
several years the British Museum has
offered a reward of 81 900 for the
skin of basking shark, as there is
no perfect specimen of this fish in ex-
istence in the world, unless it is the
one which Stanford University bought
some months ago, but whether the
curing of that specimen was success
is not known. The species is not
rare, but they are seldom caught.
Old fishermen state that the fish is
the most harmless of any fish in ex-
istence of its size, and on acco""t Of
it's lazy, sluggish habits it has re-
ceived the name of "basking shark. "
The fishermen also say that the
shark is seen to lie for hours in one
place basking in the sun and that it
will not disappear at the approach of
boats, but that it is a dangerous I'M
dertaking to attempt a capture of
the fish with harpoons, as, unlike
the whale, the basking shark does
not rise to the surface for air after
sounding, but makes desperate re-
sistance underneath the surface OF
the water, Juggling away at the line
that is fastened to the harpoon and
endangering the lives of the men in
| the boats.
The size of the fish cannot yet be
determined, as it is still in the water.

Stanford University was twenty-siS

If ever an artist was born, not
made, Rembrandt, the great Holland
painter, was, for he had few advant-
ages. In the first place, he was of
most humble parents, being the son
of a miller and born in a wind mill.
He had no advantages of school or
example no teacher, and was never
thrown with artists in any way, and
yet in the face of all these difficulties
he became most famous artist. He
was intended for the law, as his five
brothers were all either bakers or
millers like their father, but before
he was twelve years old he showed
such a decided talent for drawing
that he was allowed to study art.
His first picture was painted when he
was twenty-one years old. 1t was
not long before Rembrandt became
both rich and famous. When he was
twenty-seven years old he was
married to Il very lovely young girl.
Saskia was her name, and Rembrandt
used her nearly always as his model.
He was simply devoted to her, and
when she died, it was said the best of
Rembrandt died with her. Certainly
all his good luck went with her.
Rembrandt became completely
broken down; he no longer painted
with his old vigor, and as his popu-
larity decreased, so also did his
money. Finally things got so bad
that all his rich collection of pictures
and furniture We're sold by auction
for his debts; then his engravings
and designs went the same way, and
finally the beautiful home itself was
