THE SAME OLD TALE.

Just a little sunshine,
Then a shower of rain,
Next, few reminders,
''Spring has come again"
Just dozen leafbudS,
A robin on the wing,
Lots of cheerful greetings,
''This is more like spring"
Just a summer bonnet
Worn by dainty miss,
Endless ice-cream sodas,
''Fine spring weather, this"
Just a doctors visit,
Hark; the church bells ring,
Marking a departure
To eternal spring.

THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
White America Is the Richest, France Is
 Richer Per Capita.

White America Is the Richest, France I,
 Richer Per Capita.
 The United States is the richest coUn try in the world, according to M. C. Francois, the eminent French statisti elan, who has been making careful study of the wealth of nineteen of the principal nations of the globe, It will interest pcnnilcss people to know that this calculator estimates the riches oi this country at 313,O0O, 100000 francs, oi ~NcllOning francs to the dollar, nearly yJJ,O00, ,OOO, 600, says the New York World.
 England is the next with 285 ,0OO, 900, 900 francs and France the third in line being the possessor of 225.O00, OOO,O Germany's fortune is considerably less --only lGl ,0OO, GOO, 900; and the Russian empire, though far more vast, is con, siderably poorer, with but i2,OO0, ,OO0, 900.
 Three states possess more than 5O,. 900 O,0O0, ,O0O and less than 100, ,OOO, 900, ,00O each. Austro-IIungsry, s2 GOO, 900, ,OOO Spain, 63, 900, O0O, 900, and Italy 5I,000, 00O,OOO. The fortunes of the eleven other countries vary between 5000, ,O00,. 900 and 34 ,00O, 900 600 francs.
 The actual amount of money pos sessed by the various nations bears but a feeble proportion to the above figures of national wealth The Bank of France for example. is responsible for only about G,50O, GOO, 900 francs. or a lit- tie less than 9 per cent of the total for tune of that country, while other conn. tries have still less cash in their pocli- cts or strong boxes, for France has the greatest per capita wealth of any eoun- try in the world,

TOO STOUT FOR CONVENIENCE.
Naval Omcc-s Accumulate Too Much
 Flesh for Comfort.

NRVhl bihccrs Accumulate Too Much
 Flesh for Comfort.
 Following closely upon its considera- tion of the much-disputed question as to whether entrances to the coming towers of our ships of war should be made large enough to permit the easy inrress and egrcss of the more rotund of our naval officers comes discussion by the navy department as to the meth ods to be employed in removing to the "sick bay" such persons as may be wounded on the decks in action. The intimate connection of the two topics, says the Washington Star, may not be apparent at first glance, but the thoughtful student of naval affairs will doubtless see that there is a relation ship. The principal point to be noted is as to the difficulty that would be ex- perienced in removing from the con ming tower the wounded body of one of those obese officers who, when in pos session of all his faculties, could barely manage to squeeze his way in.
 By projecting himself edgewise, so to speak, most of the ultra-stout among our naval officers could manage to secure admission, but the getting of one of them out in case he should chance to be injured would be serious undertaking.
 Matters like this have to be consid- cred now in time of peace; when a ship is in action and the unconscious form of her commanding officer is so tightly wedged in the slot as to make move ment in or out temporarily impossible, it is then too late to discuss the width of coming tower doorways
 A twofold remedy presents itself: Either make the slot wide enough to admit easily the embonpoint of three hundred-and-fift pound officer and the whole body of twelve-inch shell, or else insist that officers who cannot easily enter moderate slotted tower shall stay ashore and do bureau work or roam around on ships that are not equipped with towers or other uncom- fortably-contracted living or fighting quarters.

AN EARTHQUAKE pETEcToR.
Marvellous Mes saGes of Shakings in Japan

Marvellous Mes sages of Shakings in Japan
 Conveyed by a Little Instrument.
 It has become possible to discover an earthquake and to mark its force at a distance of over seven thousand miles, says the New York World. This seems to smack of magic, but it is neverthe- less a sccntific fact, Some time ago it was stated as simple truth that the earthquake in Algeria was made known to the scientists in Paris itself while it was actually taking place by the un- dulations of certain delicate instru- ments over strip of paper That the movements of the earth could thus transmit themselves almost instan tame ously, registering, as it were, across the Mediterranean and nearly the whole of France more quickly than a telegraph message could have been sent, was thought hardly plausible. But it can well be believed now in view of a recent more marvellous dem- onstration of the self-registering of an earthquake much farther away.
 Within an hour from the time it com. menced the late earthquake in Japan had revealed itself to the instruments of the Roman college. The oscilla- tions of the earth outlined themselves on single sheet of paper clearly and distinctly, showing plainly that there were five separate disturbances" of varying force. Recent scientific re- ports that have just come from the Japanese empire confirm the accuracy of the instruments of the Roman col lege in a most remarkable manner. The practical part of the discovery is that the approach of an earthquake may be told with little chance of error, Enough it must be confessed that the instruments give no hint of direction nor do they indicate the starting point.
 Instruments of this character were at NicolaiefT and Charkow, cities in the central part ot Russia, and here the Japanese earthquake mentioned was registered even more plainly, the dis tance in this case from its seat being fully four thousand five hundred miles. The instruments in these towns were carefully watched al this time and they were seen to oscillate and mark the tremblings of the earth for over an hour.
 One of the most remarkable of mod ern inventions, indeed, is this seismo- graph, which was invented by Bartelli, the father of earthquakes" The most valuable evidence of it's practical bene- it to mankind was in 1883, when the sensitive machine gave warning of an eruption of Mount Etna. Up to this time, however, it has only been valua- ble for foretelling shocks comparative ly near at hand. The long-distance in- stances recorded above are the first in the history of the seismograph

A Nebraska Woman Who Has No Liking
 for Romantic Tennysonlan outoomes.
 A paper in western Nebraska con tains the outline of story that should be slung into undying verse by a poot as good as tho author of 'Enoch Arden" Some years ago, in the town where the paper is published, there lived a man who had wife and dnugh- ter. He seemed prosperous, and his credit was good for anything he de- sired.
 One fine starlight night he disap- peared, taking with him nearly every thing that wasn't nailed down. He had made about every man in town Q creditor, and when he went away the people betoolS themselves into outer darkness for awhile and walled and gnashed their teeth,
 The wife and daughter were treated the same us the rest They found themselves destitute. The fieud in hu- man form who had so long ofiiciated as husband and father had left them not a dollar. The lady and her daughter were, of course, looked coldly upon for hNNlACs dN ptOplt htAltNtN NiltNA W bs in collision with the departed. But they were not depressed by this. They went manfully to work like little hero ines in play; the mother did sewing, and the daughter did whatever she could get to do. They prospered, as they deserved to prosper. The older heroine in time established a millinery store which captured all the trade, while the younger became principal of the schools, They had money in the bank, and could eat ice cream when ever they wanted to.
 The other day scedy tramp called at the back door of a lady's residence and asked for a drink and something to eat, The good woman looked at him intently, and recognized her hus- band. And now the really beautiful part of this story comes in. Did the lady kIll the fatted calf for the prodi- gal and bid him welcome and forgive the past? Not to any great extent.
 She called the family dog, a large creature with a penchant for human remains, and no man ever climbed tree quicker than did the erring hus. band.

SHOOTING AT A BALLOON.
Experiments Which show That They Art
 Not Easily Brought Down.

Experiments Which show That They Arc
 Not Easily Brought Down.
 The use of the balloon for dispatch carrying and for military recounois- sance is likely to play a great part in the next war Its only drawback is the fact that its huge size makes it a splendid target, and the equally dam aging fact that, being chiefly a col lapsible gas-bag, a shot-hole in any part of it's great bulk brings it down For this reason, says the New York World Q good deal of uncertainty has existed in the minds of military men as to the usefulness of the balloon in cam paigning.
 Recent experiments m Austria, how ever, are calculated to give great com fort to the aeronauts, and to show that the objection just mentioned is not SO great as might at first be supposed. These experiments had for their object the determination of how easy it would be to hit a balloon in the air. To make the task of the marksmen as light as possible, captive balloons were used; that is, the balloons were tethered to the ground by ropes. In one case, such @ balloon, at a height of 4,265 feet or more than three quarters of a mile, was fired at from a distance of 4,4OO yards (two and half miles, and was struck nine times without being brought down. Another time a captive balloon 2,625 feet high was attacked from distance of $500 yards, or more than three miles and was moi brOurht down until after the afty-sixth round h this case a heavy gale made the balloon plunge, and rendered aim very difficult.
