the death of the Emperor Constantine,
of his dignity and bravery during the
last hours of the siege, how he exhorted
his followers to bravery and hoped to
the very close of the battle for relief
from the christian world. In truth It
seemed as if all the dignity and bravery
of his illustrious line fell upon him
and clothed him in these latter days,
81 majestic and noble was his bearing.
Finally, when the dead were piled in
heaps about him and his nearest friends
lay dead beside him, he called again
and again sis there no christian who
will slay me?" for he had greatly
dreaded capture by Turkish hands,
and Haroun, being among the body of
Janissaries who were rushing on him,
and who had grown to love him in
Constantinople, seeing that no man
could help the unhappy Emperor and
that his capture was near, himself
sent the arrow that slew him. My
comrades voice failed as he told this
story and after moments pause he
added "he was the last of the Caesars,
and his death was worthy of his race"
My comrade lived here with me for
many years and together we studied
the history of the christian church, the
church of peace, and of its gradual
rising to power and fame.
Here We first heard of the wonderful
man whom men call Dante and his
work in reviving spirit of longing
for the antique learning and customs,
and saw the impetus given to the
studies of this classic school by the
Greeks as they settled in Europe, after
their flight from Constantinople carry
ing their precious manuscripts with
them into Italy; saw the influence
their methods and customs had on all
Europe, and albeit mourning over the
downfall of Constantinople, we see
that the seeds of learning were sown
broadcast over the world by her
fall.
The story is finished, as the other and
final life story will shortly be finished
for me, for the elixir has died from my
veins, am old and gray and worn
and naughs but the humble monk"

Stop that boy! A cigar in his mouth

Stop that boy! A cigar in his mouth
a swagger in his walk, impudence in
his face, a care-for nothingness in his
manner. Judging from his demeanor,
he is older than his father, wiser than
the president; stop him, he isgoing too
fast. He don't know. Stop him ere
tobacco chokes his nerve, ere pride
ruins his character, ere good ambition
and manly strength gives way to low
pursuits and british aims. Stop all

In recent examination some boys
were asked to define certain words, and
to give sentence illustrating the
meaning. Here are few: Frantic
means wild. picked some frantic
flowers. Athletic, strong; the vim
egar was too athletic to use. Tandem,
one behind another; the boys sit tan

words are funnily explained. Dust is
mud, with the wet squeezed out; fms
are fishes wings; stars are the moons
eggs; circumference is distance around

An Eclipse of the Moon.

An ecliwse OF the moon takes place
when the body Of the earth ccmes be.
tween the sun and the moon. The
sun is at night time under our feet at
the other side of the earth. and th0
earth throws long shadow upward.
III the moon enters into this shadow it
is plain that the sunlight is partly or
wholly out of. and since the moon
shines by no light Of her own. but
only by borrowed light from the suu,
it follows that when the moon In buried
in the shadow all the direc$ light IL
intercepted and she must lose her
brilliancy. Thus we obtain what is
called o lunar eclipse IL is total II

The eclipse is partial IL the moon be
only partly in the shadow. The lunar
eclipse is visible TO everybody on the
dark hemisphere of the earth IL the
clouds will keep ont Of the way, SO
that usually great many more people
can see lunar eclipse than Q solar

A Valuable Invention.

The invention of George Harley, q

malleable iron of excellent quality
direct from molds has been proved o
success at tests made at Springfield,
Ohio. Harley claims that his inven-
tion will revolutionize iron making,
and this prediction is borne out by
the opinion of experts. The discovery
Is said to surpass in Importance that
made by Bessemer. Mr.. Harley's pro-
cess iron is made from an endless
furnace, with a peculiar method of
controlling the admission of air, by
which thoroughly molten condition
of iron is obtained. Detroit Fros

How a Fish Comes to the Surface,

A curious physiological discovery
has been made in the past year by
Professor Bohr, of Copenhagen, in
regard to the mode of storage by
which fish aocumulates so much
oxygen in the air that distends the
swimming or air bladder.
The air contained therein has a per-
centage Of oxygen that may rise to as
much as eighty five, an amount much
IN excess OF the percentage in atmo.
spheric air. Professor Bohr tapped
the air bladders ( Goldfish and drew
of the gas by means of q trocar and
air tight syringe. The gas had fifty
two per cent. of oxygen. In few
hours the air bladder was refilled, ap.
parently by process of secretion of
gas from the blood in capillaries on
the wall Of the bladder. In one ex-
pertinent the gas thus secreted had
eighty per cent. OF oxygen. When
the nerves connected with the organ
were severed, the secretion ceased and
the organ was not refilled.
1t thus appears that when a fish de.
scends to n great depth, and his body
is reduced in size by increased pres
sure OF the water about him, he is
sble to attain his former size by go.
creting the gas he needs, aud not. by
absorbing it from the water. Sup
port IS thus given to the theory that
the gaseous exchanges that occur in
the lungs Of animals are not purely
physical. Baltimore Sun.
