MISS GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor,

oh. the wond'rous things that science
Laws before our startled eyesl
How il fills us with emotion,
With kind of wild surprise,
To discover there are microbes
Floating in the air we orealhe,
Each one with a poisoned dagger
In our quiv'ring forms to sheathe.
Then to us IL seems amazing,
Sending chills from head to feet,
When they tell us that corruption
Turks in everything we eat:
What with microbes and bacilli
And, what's worse than all the rest,
Animal tuberculosis,
Life is anything but blest;
For since ignorance departed,
Leaving wisdom In her lodge,
We have spent our waking moments
irving all these things to dodge.

Tho AntWern Exnosition.

The Antwerp International exposition, to be held at the commercial capital of Belgium from May to Nov. 12, 1894, is the next great event of note to come of on the other side of the Atlantic. Prep arations for this event are far advanced and on scale greater than any previous foreign worlds fair. The buildings are completed and ready for the reception of exhibits. A special invitation from the king of the Belgians has been presented to President Cleveland and Secretary of State Gresham, urging the United States to recognize the exposition officially and to make a governmental exhibit. The subject has been referred to the com mittee on foreign affairs, who now have it under consideration.

DIsENCHANTMENT AND DESPAIR.
 While the Bird of Paradise-such was the alluring name of our gallant brig-was be- ing loaded with cargo of cashmere shawls, cocoanuts, drugs, glass beads and other articles of merchandise likely to suit the cultured Mohammedan taste, was so close ly engaged with my own concerns and the urgent hospitality of Sir Thomas friend that paid but scant heed to the men with whom was to sail. I had vague notion of a picturesque medley of dusky children of the sun who would be likely in the course of the voyage to discourse of many marvellous things and discover traits at once new and interesting. But at sea and within the narrow confines of two master one is impelled to take an active individual interest in his companions, and so it came that as soon as the towers and spires of Bombay had sunk out of sight on our weather beam was eagerly and curiously studying my surroundings and the charac- ters of officers and crew.

stars. Her parents were comfortably we'll off, and her mother a number of years ago took Miss Klumpke and her sisters to Germany to finish their educa tion.
 They lived at the quiet old university town of Goettinger for six years, and Dorothea pursued her studies there with great diligence. Afterward the family removed to Switzerland, and Miss Klumpke entered college at Lausanne, where she remained four years and won distinction in mathematics. Then her mother took her to Paris, where they have lived since, and Dorothea was the first girl student ever admitted to the famous school of the Paris observatory, from which she graduated with honors.
 She was an enthusiastic astronomer, and after leaving school wrote some es- says which showed such thorough mas tery of the science and such originality of treatment as to at once place her upon Q secure footing among the prominent sci entists of Europe. When she was but 21 |, Director Mouchez gave her charge of the eastern tower of the Paris observatory, a position of importance, which has al- ways been held by scholars of ripe at tainments. When the observatory of fered @ prize of 5000 francs for the best treatise on the great comet of 1889, some of the most learned astronomers of the world entered into the competition, but the essay written by this California girl took the prize.
 The thesis submitted by Miss Klulnpke to the faculty of the Sorbonne was entitled "A Contribution to the Study of the Rings of Saturn" and her replies in the oral examination that followed it's de- livery showed her perfect command of the subject The dean of the faculty warmly congratulated her on her success and said: "Your thesis is the first to have been successfully upheld by a lady before our faculty. You will worthily show the way to future candidates, and the faculty is delighted to announce that you have been accorded our grade of doctor of mathematics without dissent ing vote."

The "seoond Samson"

Richard Joy, who died May IS, 174e, at the age of 67 and is buried in the St.. Peters churchyard isle of Thanet, Kent, England, was known throughout Europe as the "Kentish Hercules, or the Second Samson" When but a youth of IT years, he was invited to London by the king to give an exhibi- tion in remarkable feats of strength. Among the feats of his more mature years was that of breaking, with his hands and feet, rope with tensile strength of 35 hundredweight and the lifting of 2,200 pounds. The following is copy of his epitaph:
 Herculean hero famed for strength,
 At last lies here-his breadth and length.
 See how the mighty man is fallen.
 To death the strong and weak are all one; The same judgment doth befall
 Goliath great and David small.

If he has kept his word, there has been a vacant desk in that establish ment for a very long time.
 The decision made, my next piece of busi- ness was to write home a long letter to Kill burnie and another to The Films. The Kill burnie letter was out of hand with no effort, but the one to Sir Thomas was a different matter entirely. felt great pity for the poor gentleman, which l durst not express lest he should die of heartbreak, so that my communication had to be somewhat of the nature of diplomatic dispatch.

 On the third day my patience was ex- hausted, and the clumsy essay in diplomacy was posted. It tried to make out that there was abundant hope for the future, while there was also a sufficient reason for aban- doning the search at present, but fancy 1t could not have imposed on anybody. To put the better face on the thing, I fabri- cated a little fiction about the severe heat telling on my health and being advised to take a short trip. l trust shall be for given, for the motive was good, and know that, acute as must havebeen Sir Thomas disappointment, it was not any acuter than ! my own, for if his hope was centered in Donald so also was mine.

 It is attached to the wheel by means of links, which are pivoted to pins on the wheel and to the jaws on the shoe plates. The connection thus made is very fexi- ble and allows the plates to adapt them- selves to the ground. The ends of the plates are beveled so that the bearing of each plate upon the ground shall overlap that of the plate immediately behind it. The wheel is provided with deep groove, which insures that the sections shall fol low each other in proper order and pro- vide suitable track to travel upon.
