Free Press pnt Ia a bid for printing the
1895 census report. The assurance was
held out that if any Office in the city

done, and in the secrecy and privacy of

She Was Sorry.

He had been worshiping her for
months, but had neve told her, and she
didn't want him to. He had come often
and staid late-very late-and she could
only sigh and hope. He was going away
the next day on a holiday, and he
thought the last night was~tne time to
spring the momentous question. He kept
it to himself, however. until the last
thing. 1t was IL 80 by the clock, and it
was not a very rapid clock.

"Are you?" she said, with the
thoughtlessness Of girlhood.
"Yes," he replied. Are you sorry!"
Eyes, very sorry" she murmured.

Then she gazed at the clock wistful.

THE CHURCH Or ST. SOPHIA.
It Stands a. the Masterpiece Of Byzantine
Architecture and Construction.

"hu oAS 0CAlotls
Materials were brought from far and
near, Egypt and Greece uniting with
Asia Minor and the islands, each con-
tiguous to the capital, in supplying their
quota Of marble for the columns and
walls of the church of st. Sophia. For
nearly six years the work went on with
undated energy. Many difficulties
were overcome and many experiments
were tried and found successful, and at
length, OF the Goth Of December, 537,
the church vas dedicated amid the &C.
CARNATIONS of the populace, and the EN-.
peror exclaimed in the fullness of his
pride: GLORY be to God, who hath
thought me worthy to accomplish so
great Il work. l have vanquished thee,
o Solomon"
The emperor's joy in his church was,
however, destined to receive q rude
shock some 20 years later, when the
apse and part of the dome were thrown
down by an earthquake, but the same
energy which Was shown in the build.
ing of the church again asserted itself.
The damage was repaired-the dome
being heightened 20 feet to give it adj
ditional security-and the church was
reconsccrated on the 24th Of December,
SOB, 5la years after the disaster.
The church Of St. Sophia has never
been surpassed in the unity and COM
pletencsS Of its design and in the dar-
ing nature Of its construction. In this
building the arch and dome assert them
selves and dominate everything, and we
have a ligiltnesS, a s~paciousness and a
grandeur that had never been reached in
the finest of the basilicas and has never
been surpassed since. During all the
centuries which have elapsed since its
erection, it has maintained its supremacy
as the masterpiece Of Byzantine archi-
lecture and construction, and it fixed
generally the type on which most Of the
later churches in the east were based,
but it has never been surpassed by any

TIE OBSTRUCTIVE TEREDO.

of tie WCod 1t Is about the size Of a pin,
but increase, III size, always lengthen-
ing, but never leaving IL part Of the
hole it hoes until its full mission is
accomplished. In this way it stretches
from the original pin hole entrance far
into the interior Of the wood and swells
in size TO the diameter Of a large lead
pencil. At the big end are the cutters,
two clam shells that rotate from side to
side and cut a smooth, round hole. The
worm sometimes attains the length Of
ten inches.
Hundreds of such worms attack the
exposed wood at the same time, and in
a short time ~honeycomb it. However
numerous they are, they never interfere
with Il another, and no instance is
found where one borer has cut into or
crossed the boring of his neighbor,
though the partitions left between the
borings are sometimes no thicker than
a sheet Of paper. Another popularity is
that as the places of entrance are no
larger thar pin heads and the worms re-
main and do their growing inside, the
wood may be almost entirely consumed
inside. yet the surface appears sound
and unaffected. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, the wooden pile gives
way and its fellows follow in short or
der. and the wharf which appeared sub
~stantial is wholly ruined.
To combat the teredo many expedients
have been resorted to. One is to sheathe
the piling in copper. Another is to cover
the surface of the wood with broad
headed tacks-the rust from which
spreads so as to discourage the teredo's
operations. Still another method is to
boil the wood in creosote under heavy
steam pressure, sc that the creosote sat
urates the fibers Of the wood.
All these methods are eficacious, and
the creosote process is used with perfect
success in wharf and trestle building
all along the gulf coast. Its cost is the
chief drawback, a single stick Of creo-
sote timber costing sometimes as much
as $50 Mobile Register.
A Forest Of Microbes.
Cheese, the supposed to be edible
milk curd Of commerce, is the best soil

and on it's surface flourish millions up
on millions Of intinitesimal parasitic

ton Of a single gram Of fresh cheese,
such as is usually sold at the grocer's,
proved that it contained not less thar
30, 900 separate and distinct specimens
Of bacteria. After seven days this same
section of cheese was examined and
found to contain so, 900 separate and
individual bacteria. Professor de Kahn
says that a cheese, properly sliced and
exposed, will within week be implant-
cd with a bacterial growth containing
more separate specimens than there are

DROWNED SEVEN IN FIFTEEN.

Buffalo, n. u
Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 2I-By the cap
sizing Of a small pleasure yacht of
Rung Bros, this evening, seven of the
fifteen on board were drowned. That
there was no greater loss of life is due
to the nearnesS of the tug E. c. May
than, and the quickness of the life
saving crew in getting to the scene.
The dead are:
FRANK BUCHANAN, married.
JACOB BAUMANN, married, and
his two children
HENRY SCHNEIDER, married.
CHARLES GISCHER
THOMAS F. CANNON, single.
Fireman, name unknown.
Stranger. name unknown.
The members of the party were en-
ployes of the East Buffalo Live Stock
yards. strong wind was blowing
which made a heavy sea and as the
boat was entering the harbor, heavy
sea swept over her, completely engulf-
ing her and all on board. Most of the
life preservers were loose and easily
grabbed by those who had opportunity
or presence of mind to do so. The sky
light over the engine was f1oated off as
the boat sank, and this was seized by
some of the men. Two men grabbed
one life preserver and went down.
The tug E. c. Maytham happened to
be passing near the scene of the acci-
dent and rescued four of the men from
the waves. Two members of the life
saving service were also near by grap-
ping for the body of Charles Gilling,
who was drowned Sunday, and they
succeeded in saving two half-drowned
members Of the excursion party.
These were all who were rescued.
though search for the others was con-
tinued until a late hour.
1t is claimed by L. Burley, one Of the
steersmen, that the steering gear went
wrong.
